Chapter 2042 Mushrooms on the Soul

Chapter 2041 Message of Death <TOC> Chapter 2043 Unstable Soul Form

Translator: SumTLMan

In front of Angel, these wildly growing mushrooms sprouted yet another one from the back of Reeves’ right hand.

Apart from the peculiarity of his soul form, the emotions he emitted were also abnormal.

Generally, a soul, unless it falls into a mindless ghost only knowing slaughter, would emit a suffocatingly strong malice; but now, Angel could clearly feel that Reeves had not yet fallen and turned into a ghost, yet the emotions he conveyed were already full of negativity.

Those pale eyes, emitting a faint green light, were full of malicious intent.

Angel narrowed his eyes; as Reeves had said, Mystlight not only controlled your body in life, but even in death, the soul would be parasitized.

In Angel’s understanding, the land of the soul was a high-dimensional existence.

The fact that Mystlight could affect the land of the soul and thereby pollute the soul was beyond Angel’s comprehension.

Angel remembered that previously, Bee Blair had said, “Mystlight is Lord Nooka’s masterpiece,” and this so-called Lord Nooka was also Mademoiselle Goldilocks’ superior.

The ability to create something as terrifying as Mystlight, this Lord Nooka was definitely not simple… Angel even suspected that this Lord Nooka might be the Minister who had descended upon these ruins.

Unfortunately, there was no information about Nooka in Reeves’ memories.

Angel’s thoughts returned to the strange soul in front of him. From the faint green light in his eyes and the mushrooms continuously emerging from his body, Angel speculated that the green mist might also exist within his soul.

Angel looked at the three Mystlight buttons that had settled back at the heel of his shoe and sent them an emotional command.

He wanted to try if he could get the Mystlight buttons to extract the green light mist from Reeves’ soul.

Reeves, transformed into a soul, was still disliked by the little ones, but since it was Angel’s command, they reluctantly jumped down from the shoes and hopped towards Reeves.

However, just as the Mystlight buttons were about to approach Reeves, he suddenly went mad, emitting a terrifying scream.

Soul Howl!

The Mystlight buttons did not expect to be attacked so suddenly and immediately entered a state of dizziness. The tiny mushroom cap hats spun around on the ground, about to fall over.

Angel did not expect that Reeves, who had just transformed into a ghost, could use the universal skill of the ghosts: Howl.

While it is called a howl, it is actually a resonance of soul frequencies, affecting sentient beings through a special soul frequency. Generally, the more senior the ghosts, the more terrifying its soul howl.

The soul howl used by Reeves was just average in effect. It might work on apprentices, but it was basically ineffective against formal wizards. For someone with a unique soul like Angel, even if Reeves’s soul howl was multiplied by ten, it would have no effect.

Therefore, what Reeves thought was a surprise attack only bewildered the Mystlight buttons, but Angel was completely unharmed. He even used the inherent pressure of a formal wizard to suppress Reeves’s soul so much that he dared not move.

After being dazed for a few seconds, the three little ones also recovered. Angel read a sense of anger from them; perhaps feeling indignant about being tricked, they had previously hesitated to approach Reeves, but now they rushed to his soul without hesitation, opened their slightly pink mouths, and bit down hard.

After a while, the little ones blankly fell from Reeves’s soul, looking somewhat at a loss towards Angel.

Without their expressing it, Angel could see that they had not absorbed the green mist, as Reeves’s soul was still intact, and mushrooms were still trying to emerge.

“Is it not absorbable?” Angel asked, conveying his emotions.

Regrettably, the Mystlight button’s intelligence was too low, and it couldn’t make a complete expression. The only thing Angel could decipher from the fragmented emotions was: “It appeared, then disappeared; appeared again, then disappeared again…”

After pondering for a while, Angel concluded that if the Mystlight button’s body was biting on Reeves’s soul, it indicated they sensed the emerald green mist in the soul, otherwise, they would have directly expressed “nothing” to Angel.

Since there was indeed emerald green mist in Reeves’s soul, why couldn’t the Mystlight buttons absorb it?

Was it because it appeared for a while and then vanished again?

Recalling the previous scene, Angel remembered that before the Mystlight buttons bit on Reeves’s soul, there was a faint green light in his eyes, which disappeared after the bite. Could it be that the emerald green mist, knowing it was about to be absorbed by the Mystlight buttons, concealed itself on purpose?

If that was the answer, was there a way to prevent the emerald green mist from hiding?

After much thought, Angel couldn’t come up with an answer. His knowledge of the Mystlight was limited, mostly coming from what Reeves had described. In Reeves’s descriptions, there was no mention of the emerald green mist’s ability to hide.

Perhaps this was a special ability of the emerald green mist that parasitized the soul?

If so, resolving this issue would be difficult.

Angel sighed, contemplating internally: Should I first take this mutated soul and look for a chance to ask others after going out? Isn’t Nisi outside the Star Pool? He’s a soul wizard; maybe he knows something?

Logically, this seemed like a relatively good choice. However, as Angel watched Reeves’s soul continuously sprouting mushrooms, he inexplicably thought of the term discussed in the Mushroom Forum: terminal stage.

When Reeves was still alive, he was in the terminal stage due to the Mystlight’s control, beyond salvation, leaving only death as the only path.

Now, only his soul remained, and it seemed to be continuously “mushroomizing.”

Will the soul also reach its “terminal” stage after being completely “mushroomized”, and eventually the soul dissipates, completely becoming nourishment for the Doreen Flower Garden?

This is just a guess by Angel, but intuition tells him it might be true.

Although there is not much connection between Angel and Reeves, the complete extinction of his soul is unrelated to Angel. However, if there’s a chance to save his soul, Angel is still willing to try.

If there really is no way to expel the Mystlight mist, Angel would also choose to give up in due time.

Thinking of this, Angel decides to calm down and carefully consider if there’s a way to save Reeves’s soul from being invaded by the Mystlight.

As time ticks away, Reeves is still immobilized by overwhelming pressure, but mushrooms occasionally sprout on his body, numbering nine so far.

Judging by this rate, it is estimated that in less than a day, his body will be covered in mushrooms.

After thinking for a long time, Angel still finds no solution, so he prepares to observe Reeves more closely.

Just as Angel is observing the motionless soul in front of him, a flash of inspiration suddenly comes to his mind——

To successfully let the little ones absorb the Mystlight mist, the Mystlight mist cannot avoid them. How to force the Mystlight mist to become unable to avoid them, Angel has thought of an idea.

Perhaps, the ability of the right eye, could be worth a try?
