Angel, having been skeptical about this mushroom growing on a solitary lava island from the beginning, kept observing its emotional changes even while dodging tentacle attacks.
Essentially, from start to finish, the signals it emitted were of violence, resentment, and mournful howling.
“It hurts so much, I am in so much pain… It’s all your fault, I want to kill you, kill all of you… You all deserve to die! Hahaha, you all deserve to die!”
After these emotions were repeated countless times, Angel was ready to withdraw his investigation. However, at a certain moment, it suddenly transmitted a very strange signal.
Angel noticed that when this signal appeared, the isolated mushroom did not emit any emotions outward, as if it was just an unconscious murmur.
This was already strange in itself, but after Angel’s analysis, it became even more bizarre.
“Adelaya?”
Perhaps to creatures from the Nightmare Plane, this was a meaningless signal, but to Angel, this seemingly unconscious utterance of symbols represented a powerful witch renowned in the Southern Region.
Adelaya, one of the permanent members of the Council of True Knowledge, nicknamed “The Black Baroness.”
Angel did not believe the mushroom would randomly call out the name of the Black Baroness Witch. The only possibility was that the mushroom was somehow linked to Adelaya.
With this logic, a hypothesis immediately emerged in Angel’s mind, one that could not be verified at the moment: perhaps hidden within this mushroom was a human shackled by Mystlight, and this human might very well be acquainted with Adelaya!
Otherwise, it was hard to explain the mushroom’s transmission of signals related to Adelaya.
Angel did not know why the mushroom was calling out Adelaya, whether as an enemy, a lover, or something else. But this was no longer important. Since the mushroom might be concealing a human being controlled by others, he was bound to seek an answer.
Mushroom’s tentacles were still encircling and blocking him, but this time, Angel no longer dodged towards the perimeter but instead sprinted directly towards the heart of the solitary island.
Angel’s actions clearly infuriated the mushroom on the island. Its plump form contracted again, its spots becoming even more blood-red. As it gathered strength, transitioning from contraction to expansion, a multitude of tentacles began to grow rapidly around the mushroom.
Though these tentacles were not as thick as the original one, they carried the same high temperature. Moreover, like phantasmal limbs, they intertwined into a net, firstly to prevent Angel from approaching the mushroom, and secondly to potentially capture him.
Angel was now caught in a pincer attack.
Behind him were terrifying explosive tentacles, creating clouds of black smoke in the shape of mushrooms; in front, similarly explosive tentacles, also forming a net, blocked his way, leaving no escape from above or below!
In this situation, Angel seemed oblivious to the increasingly red and bright net of tentacles ahead, not slowing down in the slightest, rapidly heading towards the solitary island mushroom.
Soon, Angel reached the very front of the tentacle net. The tentacles behind him were also almost upon him, just less than twenty meters away.
Twenty meters, for explosive tentacles, was but a moment’s reach.
However, just as the tentacles were about to touch Angel, a door suddenly opened to his right front. Angel’s figure flashed through it, and he immediately shut the gateway.
In the instant the gateway disappeared, the exploding tentacles collided directly with the dense net of tentacles in front…
Boom, boom, boom——
The sound of a massive explosion, surpassing all previous ones, instantly reverberated throughout the entire lava lake area.
With a huge mushroom cloud rising, the previously calm lava lake began to experience violent, surging waves. Large amounts of lava surged around, and the lava rising into the sky began to rain down fiery red lava in all directions.
Fortunately, there are no other creatures here. The rain of lava, for the mushrooms in the mushroom forest, is just like bathing water and doesn’t cause harm. On the contrary, it becomes nourishment for the mushrooms.
The explosion lasted a minute, but the subsequent lava disaster continued unabated. Five minutes later, the smoke near the lonely island in the center of the lava lake began to slowly disperse.
As the smoke cleared, the situation on the lonely island became visible.
That huge mushroom now looked quite pitiful. Not only had its initially thick tentacle split into two, falling to the ground, but the net of tentacles woven by the mushroom also had a big hole torn in it. Although it was still hanging on, the effect it could exert was greatly reduced.
The originally clean stalk of the mushroom umbrella was now charred black.
Perhaps even the mushroom itself did not expect that its most powerful attack method would cause its current pitiful state.
The mushroom looked very miserable, but in contrast, Angel was unharmed.
He was standing on the hot, red ore that radiated high temperatures, facing this huge mushroom. Angel closely observed the mushroom, which indeed resembled Mystlight a lot. However, regrettably, he did not find any trace of humans.
“Answer me, your name,” Angel said in a common language, but there was no response. So, he repeated the sentence expressing emotions.
However, this plump large mushroom seemed a bit stunned by the explosion and was very slow to react. It took a while before it expressed an emotion, which was still… anger, unwillingness, and a bitterness almost too dense to dissolve.
As soon as the malice emerged, what followed was a relentless attack.
Without its tentacles, the mushroom still had other abilities. For example, it could manipulate the lava continuously falling from the edge of the umbrella, and also, there was the wildly raging fire tornado around it.
These abilities, in fact, are not as strong in offensive power as the previous tentacles. For another wizard, it might be difficult to deal with, but for Angel, who is protected by layers of phantasmal limb armor, it seems a bit insufficient.
While Angel was casually counterattacking, he continued to question the mushroom, trying to glean some information from its emotional reactions.
But no matter how Angel asked, the mushroom was nothing but irritable.
“Did I guess wrong? Is it unrelated to humans? Or is it that the human is actually it, but its self-consciousness has already been digested by it?” Angel muttered. Previously, in the Mushroom Forum, they said that this “dirty fellow” had reached its end stage. Could it be referring to the end stage of being digested by Mystlight?
Angel felt a bit unwilling to accept this. Was it really a wasted trip?
He pondered for a moment and finally asked, “Do you still remember Adelaya?”
When Angel asked this question, the mushroom’s attack movements noticeably slowed down.
Effective? Without hesitation, Angel continued, “The Black Baroness, Adelaya. A female councilor of the City of Truth, a powerful witch of the dark branch of the mysterious school, one of the chief editors of the Forest of Time…”
With each piece of information Angel revealed, the mushroom’s movements became slower and slower, and the signals it emitted also began to slowly change.
However, this change was still not utilizable.
It only repeated: “Adelaya.”
It seemed that Adelaya was its only obsession.
