As Angel furrowed his brow, seeking new clues from the mushroom, its mood suddenly changed again.
Although it kept muttering “Adelaya,” its emotion gradually shifted from calm to agitated! Simultaneously, a fierce malice emanated once more.
Confused, Angel noticed a massive vertical crack emerging in the center of the mushroom’s stem, evidently its mouth.
At the crack’s edge, dense, sharp teeth were visible.
Angel recalled snail data from a holographic tablet, noting their mouths packed with hundreds of rows of teeth, totaling tens of thousands. Although he had recorded this information, he hadn’t pondered it deeply. Now, seeing the mushroom’s numerous sharp teeth, he instantly remembered.
However, unlike the snail’s teeth, which are almost harmless to humans, the mushroom’s teeth, from Angel’s alchemist perspective, were sharp enough to tear through defensive spells.
But, as the mushroom’s range of motion was limited and its biting distance wasn’t extensive, its teeth were not the primary threat.
Angel easily dodged several biting attacks.
Angel remained unharmed, while the mushroom, from constant shaking and hitting the ground, seemed disoriented.
Seeing the ineffectiveness of its bites, it stopped and shot out a tongue covered in sticky liquid, frantically attacking Angel.
Angel had easily dealt with previous tentacle pursuits, so this tongue was no challenge. He also noticed the mushroom’s diminishing power as he got closer.
While dodging, he even casually continued discussing Adelaya’s information, hoping for some feedback from the mushroom.
However, the mushroom’s feedback just became more and more frenzied. Eventually, even the name of Adelaya, who was previously thought to be related to humans being controlled, failed to elicit any emotional fluctuation from it.
Now it has completely evolved into a mad free-for-all.
Angel, once again avoiding the fiery wind accompanied by a tongue lash, slowly descends from the sky. His gaze towards the mushroom has gradually turned cold; initially, he thought the mushroom might be related to the controlled human, but after so long, there has been no effective feedback.
Angel is getting impatient. Since there’s no information forthcoming, there’s no need to continue wasting time. Now, he only considers two choices: either leave directly or cut it down and then leave.
Angel leans towards the second option. However, since this place is the territory of Nightmare Plane creatures, would it be overstepping to cut it down directly?
As Angel ponders, a new round of attacks from the mushroom arrives.
This time, the mushroom doesn’t manipulate flames or use its tongue but begins to slowly inflate, like taking a deep breath, instantly turning into a mushroom ‘balloon’.
By the time Angel realizes something is wrong, it has already spewed the air it inhaled towards him.
Angel thought it would be an attack similar to the fiery wind and initially didn’t care. But when it exhaled, he found that the breath contained no fire elements, but something he was familiar with——
A bright green luminescent mist!
It was the same Mystlight mist that Angel had previously seen being spewed by Bee Blair!
A massive amount of bright green light mist spewed from the mushroom’s mouth, completely covering all of Angel’s escape routes.
Angel didn’t know the harm of this bright green light mist, but he didn’t plan to experiment firsthand and prepared to open a gateway to leave the mist-covered area.
However, before Angel could activate the Gateway of Fantasy, he first sensed a wave of excitement.
The source of the emotion was the three Mystlight buttons on the heel of his shoe.
Previously, during Angel’s battle, these three little ones had been disguising themselves as ornaments on the shoes, but sensing the bright green mist, they immediately revealed their true forms. They hopped out from the heel of the shoe, jumping around Angel, frantically swallowing the bright green mist.
Eventually, the bright green mist couldn’t get close to Angel and was completely absorbed by these three little ones.
Moreover, Angel could sense that they were becoming more excited as they absorbed more, even starting to approach the mouth of the giant mushroom, intending to occupy the best position to enjoy this delicious moment alone.
Angel had intended to stop them, as the mushroom was still emitting evil thoughts, which was dangerous.
But just as Angel looked up, he suddenly froze.
His gaze was fixed inside the mouth of the mushroom. Before, he had only seen the dense, sharp teeth inside its mouth, but now, as the bright green mist was being emitted, Angel saw a Silhouette Deep Within its mouth.
Although the thick mist obscured his view, Angel couldn’t make out the specific features of the silhouette, but it clearly had the outline of a human figure!
Inside the mouth of the mushroom… was there a human?
Angel’s eyes brightened. Could it be that the human he had been unable to find was actually inside the mouth of this mushroom?
With a thought, Angel quickly constructed an observational spell in his mental space, intending to see the true face of that shadow. However, at this moment, the mushroom seemed to sense that the bright green mist was useless against Angel and prepared to close its mouth.
Angel wouldn’t let it close its mouth at this moment. With a slight lift of his eyebrow, he activated the green rune in his right eye for the first time in the Doreen Flower Garden.
As the rune danced, a large amount of fluid emerged from his right eye, quickly forming into a mask adorned with strange patterns.
This mask conceals half of Angel’s right face.
The mask is covered in bizarre patterns, with a predominantly black base. The right eye appears to be squinted in a smile. However, the deep color scheme and contrast evoke not a sense of humor, but rather a dark, eerie absurdity.
The moment the mask appears, centered on Angel, an immensely terrifying oppressive force instantly descends.
The mushroom on the solitary island tries to close its mouth but freezes. The movements of the three little ones halt as well. Even the dense green luminescent mist in the space stops flowing.
In this instant, it’s as if time itself has solidified.
However, it’s just an illusion. With Angel’s current strength, it’s naturally impossible to interfere with time. It’s merely the activation of the green rune in the right eye with an ‘oppressive’ characteristic, creating a domain of intimidation.
This is also one of the outcomes of Angel’s recent self-reflection and research into the green rune in his right eye.
Angel’s anticipated effect was to momentarily pause the mushroom, allowing him to quickly investigate the true nature of the figure. To his surprise, the effect of this oppressive sensation is much better than he expected.
Now, not only has the mushroom stopped its actions, but Angel also feels an emotion other than madness and malice emanating from it for the first time——Fear.
This unexpectedly effective result, Angel attributes to the creature being from the Nightmare Plane.
The ability of the green rune might have a stronger restraining effect on creatures from the Nightmare Plane.
