Chapter 686: Corruption Primordial Body
Chapter 686: Corruption Primordial Body
Severing the connection with the Deviator, the adventurer lost the vital support of the Moon Tear.
Though consciousness was restored, the adventurer's eyes remained hollow and lifeless.
Bruno's life was indeed saved by Lindsey.
However, decades of slumber had severely damaged his mind, making an immediate recovery impossible.
A thunderous rumble echoed.
At that moment, in the area surrounding the Crystal Cave, the Withered Tyrant Flowers that Lindsey had just planted began to react.
The Corruption Toxin erupted directly above.
The nearest plants immediately found their target for absorbing nutrients and began to grow roots upwards.
Next, the growth rate of the Withered Tyrant Flowers far exceeded Lindsey's imagination.
This was a gathering of corrupting forces from across the world.
Even without anyone controlling them, the sheer magnitude of these toxins was enough to be considered a Seventh Stage threat.
Lindsey turned to look at the adventurer, Bruno, who stood before him.
Leaving him here while he went to deal with the Corruption Toxin was not an option.
But in a situation like this...
Would he have to bring along someone completely immobile?
"Heh..."
"It's a good thing I had a premonition."
Lindsey chuckled softly. He expanded the space around him and produced a forest-themed house, placing it there.
Lindsey packed up his shop and took it with him.
As he left the Forest Capital to return to adventuring, he had a premonition.
Once he succeeded in finding the Source of Life in the Green Swamp, it would be time to repair the world's connection.
"The time for farewells..."
Thinking of everything in his territory, especially the gazes and smiles directed at him.
Lindsey sighed softly.
He quickly stuffed the adventurer into his shop, designated him as a shop assistant, thus solving the problem of bringing him along.
A loud crackling sound filled the air.
Without the support of the adventurer's skills, the Crystal Cave began to collapse.
The intense rumbling continued without cease.
With an almost infinite supply of energy, the Withered Tyrant Flowers grew even more vigorously. Their roots grew thicker than a person's body, creating a bizarre scene reminiscent of a magical beanstalk from a fairy tale.
A gush of water pierced through the cave walls.
As the plant's root system grew wildly, the underground soil collapsed, and the lake water above poured into the cave.
"I certainly don't want to swim in mud."
Lindsey immediately switched to the Eternal Mark, activating its effect and disappearing from the spot.
...
A few seconds later, he emerged from the soil on the Lake Island.
The original palace made of greenstone on the island had completely collapsed.
Lindsey immediately looked up and saw a shadow darker than the night sky.
The Corruptor's body unleashed all of its Corruption Toxin.
However, there was an unexpected twist.
Such a massive amount of Corruption Toxin, through a quantitative change, resulted in a qualitative transformation. Instead of spreading like a typical plague, it converged in the center, ultimately forming a gigantic tumor connected to the ground by foul-smelling chunks of flesh.
The malice and wailing that Lindsey had felt earlier emanated from this tumor.
"..."
Lindsey furrowed his brows as he studied the situation.
The Mutant Egg - An astronomical amount of Corruption Toxin gathered in one place. Originating from the power of life, they react with each other, nurturing a brand new life within.
"..."
"From a spreading virus, a separate enemy has emerged."
"This could be considered good news, I suppose."
As Lindsey sighed, he ventured into the palace ruins, slashing upwards with the Extinction Blade as a test against potential enemies.
The spiral magma left a mark on the massive tumor, and the infant's wailing became even more pitiful, now laced with agony.
At the same time, Lindsey descended into the depths of the palace ruins, quickly spotting the Corruptor Bevermeni.
This guy was lucky.
His throne, where he had been slumbering, had toppled during the palace's collapse, creating a support that formed a space for him.
Moreover, there was an altered fate interference.
The weak Bevermeni managed to survive.
However, like the Adventurer, he was currently delirious, and his body was almost devoid of strength.
"Excellent!"
"Both of them are still alive."
Lindsey was quite satisfied with this outcome.
Using the same method, he took the Corruptor away to deal with the Corruption Toxin's concentrated form.
The ground beneath them trembled.
Before rescuing anyone, Lindsey had confirmed that his weapons could harm humans.
The Corruption Toxin's concentrated form became increasingly agitated under attack.
Just then, the Withered Tyrant Flower's roots extended from the underground cave.
Greedily, they absorbed the power, even coveting the Corrupted Egg directly above, intending to draw nutrients from it.
"Ahhhh!!!"
A sharp wail echoed from within the tumor.
Immediately, the virus-infested flesh connected to the surrounding ground began to erupt with Essence power. Thick, putrid tendrils formed on the flesh's surface, actively coiling around the plant stems!
In the blink of an eye, the fleshy roots and plant roots entangled like a sailor's rope.
The Withered Tyrant Flower inherently countered the Corruptive Force.
However, this time, the enemy's concentrated power was too strong.
After a struggle, the Corrupted Egg, with sheer brute force, completely destroyed the rapidly growing plants!
Thud!
Lindsey frowned and kicked away a tendril in front of him.
With his current strength, the plant and flesh-entangled rope was easily severed with a kick.
athletic build and enhanced physical abilities allowed him to effortlessly break free from the entangled roots.
During this brief contact, Lindsey took the opportunity to inspect the Corruptor's detailed attributes.
[Deviator: Corruption Primordial Body (Embryo)]
[The entire world's Corruptive Force is gathering, nurturing a new life. In approximately one hour, it will complete its growth and be set free.]
[The echoes of Ryan Orma's ascension to godhood still linger within the Corruption Toxin.]
["Abyss! Abyss! Abyss!"]
[Value: ???]
Clang!
Lindsey's palm spun, and in the next instant, he held a weapon in each hand, his figure disappearing from the spot and soaring high into the air.
In a flash, he arrived before the Corrupted Egg.
The Plague Sword and Extinction Blade struck simultaneously, and the Magma Surge Sword from his equipment list enveloped both weapons in scorching magma.
Holding the flaming blades, Lindsey ascended into the air, facing the pulsating tumor, like a beating heart.
But at that moment, Lindsey's mind wandered to an unexpected thought.
By attacking in this manner, was he essentially interrupting the boss's transformation phase?
