Chapter 2042 Mushrooms on the Soul <TOC> Chapter 2044 Extending Space

Angel looked at the blurry soul lying on the fiery red ground, his expression slightly surprised.
“Did it actually work?”
He had only wanted to experiment because when he previously activated his right eye, the pressure it generated not only immobilized the mushrooms but also seemed to freeze the floating bright green mist in time, halting it completely.
Therefore, when he learned from the little ones that the bright green mist inside Reeves’ soul avoided confrontation, he decided to try using the pressure from the green rune in his right eye to see if it could intimidate the bright green mist.
And it actually worked!
Angel activated the green rune in his right eye, and with the appearance of the mask, the terrifying pressure subdued Reeves’ soul. Not only did the bright green mist stop moving, but the mushrooms continuously emerging from his body also ceased their actions.
Seizing this opportunity, the little ones approached and completely drained the bright green mist from Reeves’ body.
Although Reeves still had a large green mushroom cap on his soul form, Angel repeatedly confirmed with the little ones that the bright green mist inside him was indeed gone.
Angel, who had also studied souls, saw that Reeves now resembled an ordinary soul, perhaps with a more pure and stronger soul power, which made sense as he had been a formal wizard in life.
The only regret was that Reeves’ soul form was unstable.
Perhaps because the bright green mist had already merged with Reeves’ soul form, becoming a fundamental unit of its composition, when all the mist was absorbed, his soul form immediately showed signs of foundational instability.
Currently, his form appeared somewhat blurry. The outline of his soul was unclear, sometimes even blending into the air, giving the impression that his soul form might dissipate at any moment.
Due to the instability of the soul body, Reeves’ soul consciousness also could not be smoothly expressed. Perhaps in Reeves’ own consciousness, he had already died completely, entering the dark abyss; but in reality, he is now just on the verge of soul body dissipation.
Although for the soul, an unstable soul body is indeed a very serious matter, compared to being controlled by the Mystlight green mist and finally becoming a mushroom soul body, the current situation is much better.
At least, there is still a possibility of salvation for an unstable soul body, but once assimilated by Mystlight, there’s no chance of redemption.
Angel took out a gold-patterned church from the bracelet space, sculpted from white bones and radiating a bone-chilling cold. The pale bones fused with dazzling gold, creating an unusual aesthetic.
This is the Cathedral of the Dead. Tulas’ soul body has always been sleeping inside.
The core of the Cathedral of the Dead is forged from the “Skull of the Departed,” serving as a dwelling for the souls of the dead. Additionally, the base is engraved with “Deathly Silence runes,” releasing a large amount of cold death energy, which can slowly strengthen the soul power of the souls.
Since Angel saved Reeves’ soul, he naturally planned to take him away from these ruins, and the Cathedral of the Dead was prepared as a temporary residence for Reeves.
Reeves’ soul body was damaged, and the death energy in the Cathedral of the Dead could slowly help Reeves repair his foundation. Even if it couldn’t be fully restored, Reeves living in the Cathedral of the Dead wouldn’t have to worry about soul body dissipation.
Angel sent his mental power around the Cathedral of the Dead and finally chose a small attic at the top of the church tower as Reeves’ room.
When Angel placed Reeves in the attic, he clearly felt that Reeves’ soul no longer dissipated soul power, and its form didn’t continue to blur. Everything seemed to be turning for the better.
“The Cathedral of the Dead was refined during my apprenticeship. The magical materials are rudimentary, and many functions are not yet perfected. Tulas’ soul power is also growing slowly…” Angel muttered softly, “It needs to be phased out. In some time, I should craft a new one.”
Angel withdrew his gaze, confirmed that Reeves was fine, and then put the Cathedral of the Dead back into the bracelet.
Encountering Reeves was unexpected. Although Angel had planned to take him out, he actually still didn’t know how to leave.
“Let’s keep moving forward, to meet Mademoiselle Goldilocks,” Angel sighed softly: “If Mademoiselle Goldilocks’s personality is as Reeves described, then it might be a bit difficult to get past her.”
But regardless, to leave, meeting Mademoiselle Goldilocks was necessary.
Angel slowly rose from the small island at the center of the lava lake.
As Angel flew into the air, the island, made up of a large number of fire elemental minerals, was instantly swallowed by the surrounding lava.
The existence of the island at the heart of the lake was for Reeves. Since Reeves had disappeared, naturally, the island no longer needed to exist.
Even this mushroom forest, which drew from the flames, would probably gradually disappear. After all, the development of this mushroom forest had previously depended entirely on Reeves. Having drained Reeves, it would naturally return to normal.
Angel shook his head, not dwelling on it further, and flew in the determined direction.
After flying over the lava lake, Angel didn’t land again but lowered his flight a little, skimming the ground quickly. This way, whether facing danger on the ground or in the sky, Angel could respond quickly.
In this red mushroom forest, Angel wasn’t too worried about danger, as these mushrooms loved to “chat.” Any slight irregularity could actually be discerned from their conversations.
Angel was now “hanging” in the Mushroom Forum, listening to their emotional expressions while moving forward.
“That dirty guy is dead.”
“After all, it’s the end stage, so death is normal. It’s just a bit regrettable, I haven’t yet tasted the pure fruit born from him.” This tone of regret from the mushroom made Angel’s expression quite peculiar. It’s just the fire elemental life that appeared due to squeezing Reeves, yet it sounds like he ate his son.
“Serves him right! I just let a mushroom strand float over the lava lake and saw that dirty guy actually daring to lay hands on the noble Highness Shava! He deserves to die!” A righteous indignation instantly set the pace in the Mushroom Forum.
“Really? Oh, Queen above! To encounter such intolerable acts, indeed, dirty guys are always dirty!”
“To defile Highness Shava is like stepping on my cap, I should have killed him first!”
“Yes! I feel insulted too!”
“I want to kneel before Highness Shava and ask for his forgiveness! It’s our fault for not realizing sooner and letting the dirty guy block his way.”
Angel originally wanted to observe if there were any disturbances in the Mushroom Forum that he could prepare for in advance, but the forum was full of sycophantic flattery, coming as if it cost nothing.
Although the style in the Mushroom Forum is very consistent, there are still gains to be had.
For example, Angel saw a post:
“It’s all Blair’s fault, that old guy actually placed this dirty guy here, leading to today’s situation! We must report this! We definitely have to report!”
“Yes, report to the Mad One! Let the Mad One deal with him!”
