Chapter 650 - 402: Armored, Fierce Battle
The Mushroom King’s Territory, the air saturated with a nauseatingly sweet and decaying odor.
Numerous fungi densely populate the trees, the ground, omnipresent.
Yet, at this moment, the land of death ruled by fungi for decades is being forcibly torn apart by an entirely different power.
A figure strolls through it leisurely, as if walking in his own courtyard.
The Legendary Sword Saint, "The Unfinished Sword," Kairos.
He hasn’t even drawn his sword, which hovers a few feet above ground, calmly and unhurriedly heading towards the increasingly thick and bizarrely colored area of fungus carpet.
And around him, an invisible yet tangible domain surrounds him.
—The Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Domain.
This is the name he bestowed upon his domain, indicating a kaleidoscope of swirling sword lights, both beautiful and deadly.
Walking at the forefront, the Sword Saint’s body is enveloped by countless attacks.
The fungal creatures frantically spew clouds of highly corrosive spores, with spear-like active hyphae suddenly jabbing out from underground; the air, filled with colorless, odorless, yet lethal neurotoxic gas... numerous types.
However.
All of these attacks, before touching the Sword Saint’s body, collided with an invisible barrier, completely blocked.
Every attack appeared futile, only highlighting the domain’s indomitability.
Simultaneously, centered on Sword Saint Kairos, with no apparent sword-drawing or slashing moves, the charging fungal creatures around him were instantly shattered, as if sliced by countless invisible blades, turning into scattered powder in the air.
The thick fungal carpet beneath his feet was also plowed through layer by layer by invisible and sharp sword light, revealing the long-concealed soil below.
As the fungal carpet shattered, countless spores, as tiny as dust and nearly invisible to the naked eye, floated towards the Sword Saint, trying to attach and parasitize. However, like the attacks, they were equally blocked by the domain, unable to touch the Sword Saint’s robes or skin.
Even though the surroundings were already in disarray, fungal corpses strewn, the ground shattered.
Nevertheless, this legendary human powerhouse remained spotless, his robes clean, his demeanor calm and graceful, standing in stark contrast to the surrounding filth and chaos.
"Follow up, clean up, leave no hidden threats!"
Kairos’s voice reached the ears of the human army behind him.
Upon receiving the order, the human army immediately advanced along the safe passage opened by the Legendary Sword Saint.
Armored soldiers wielded their blades, cutting down residual fungal creatures; Alchemy Golems, spewing scorching flames, trod heavily, igniting still-wriggling fungal carpets into blazing infernos.
The acrid smell of burnt fungi mixed with the strange fungi scent, forming a more unpleasant toxic gas.
Low-level warriors felt dizzy and faint from a whiff.
Fortunately, the toxic gas was quickly dispelled by magic conjured by accompanying mages.
Wars involving legendary powerhouses differ vastly from ordinary battle models.
Without equivalent Legendary Weapons or strategic-grade Magic Devices, the role of ordinary troops is often auxiliary, unable to directly engage at the legendary level. Their primary task is to deplete some of the enemy’s basic forces or handle cumbersome cleanup, occupation, and stabilization tasks.
Just like now.
The purpose of Kairos’s legion is to clean up the fungal carpet and some strays, and to promptly clean and take over this place after the battle ends.
Kairos’s gaze scanned deeper into the territory, suddenly stopping in his tracks.
The fungal creatures’ attacks, while posing no threat to him, were indeed wasting his precious time.
Besides the hidden Mushroom King, there was also the so-called King of Molten Iron on the list for him to deal with.
Even the relatively stable Mountain King, who posed less destruction to the kingdom’s base, was also on the Theo Kingdom’s purge list.
The kingdom would not spare a monster just because it behaved peacefully.
Kairos didn’t want to spend too much time in this repulsive fungal land.
He pondered briefly, deciding to use more forceful means to flush out the Mushroom King that refused to reveal itself.
The Legendary Sword Saint placed a hand on his sword hilt.
In an instant, an even sharper, more overwhelming power surged from within him.
His Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Domain suddenly blazed brilliantly, transforming from the original invisible formlessness to visible to the naked eye.
It was a domain composed of countless fine, dazzling, and eternally changing sword lights, splendid yet filled with killing intent.
"Hiding, wasting time."
Kairos whispered to himself.
The next moment, his cherished sword, named [Sun-Chasing], a magic weapon hung at his waist, emitted a clear humming sound, the blade vibrating slightly, the edge sliding three inches out of its sheath by itself.
Legendary Equipment is rare and expensive, and even Kairos, who had recently ascended to legendary status, didn’t yet possess a true legendary-grade weapon.
However, his Sun-Chasing Sword was already the top in sub-legendary gear.
With the enhancement and amplification from his legendary domain, its power was nothing to scoff at.
Just revealing three inches of the sword edge, an indescribable sharp aura soared skyward.
Even the dark clouds in the sky were sliced apart and dissipated.
Dust-Cleansing Sword Rain!
With a clear humming sound, countless sword lights as fine as dust, as dazzling as stars, surged instantly, like rivers converging into a sea, all attaching to the drawn Sun-Chasing Sword Edge.
