Mushroom Lord in the Underground City

Chapter 666: Chapter 655: Teleportation

In the ruins of the manor, the sky had gradually darkened, with only the four members of the Silver Thorn Squad remaining here.

After being rescued, Okas found an excuse and quickly left.

Night Owl felt that he didn’t want to be the scapegoat, but Nova thought it wasn’t right to drag down those who helped them.

In the end, the damage caused by the magic power rampage was smaller than expected, destroying only a few blocks and a small section of the city wall.

However, at this moment, no one dared to approach, and the perimeter was directly sealed off by the captain of the guards who had gathered his subordinates.

"It seems like he’s waking up."

On the hastily assembled cushion, Ivan shook his head and sat up, immediately seeing Gall’s huge shield.

Behind the shield, three familiar heads peered out, staring at him.

"Am I... uh, did we escape from Red Stone City?"

The old mage’s memory was clearly stuck when they escaped from the Storm Elemental Lord’s attack, and he used teleportation to pull everyone back into the city.

"What are you doing now?"

"Preventing you from blasting us away with a lightning ball," said Night Owl, hiding most of his body behind Gall.

"What the hell?"

Ivan felt it was too dark around him and raised his hand to cast a lighting technique.

But when the magic power began to flow, he was stunned.

The light ball rose from his palm, constantly changing color, finally becoming like a small artificial sun, ascending into the air.

He forced himself up, despite the weakness of his body, and tried to use other magic.

Seeing this, the three squeezed further behind Gall’s shield.

Various magics came naturally to Ivan’s fingertips, not even needing to pass through the magic nodes within his body, as easy as breathing.

Among the other three, only Nova, who was also a spellcaster, understood how unbelievable the scene before them was: "It’s amazing! How did you do it?"

Unfortunately, Ivan couldn’t answer, as it seemed that there was much knowledge in his mind that he could understand but couldn’t clearly explain.

However, when Ivan tried Tier Six Magic, he got stuck.

He returned to his previous state, unable to freely manipulate Tier Six Magic in the palm of his hand.

Two lines of tears ran down Ivan’s wrinkled face.

He didn’t know why he was crying, just felt like he’d missed something very important.

...

Pujie Dungeon, Deep Area.

"Amazing, I’m gradually understanding everything!"

Lin Jun, having just bathed No. 10, felt she had reached the realm of the Archmage.

At No. 10’s feet, magic was bound in a specific path, outlining a complex magic array.

And ten meters away, on another fungal mat, the magic there was also bound, similarly flowing along the mycelium to form a corresponding magic array.

As the magic array activated, No. 10’s figure disappeared from its original place, reappearing ten meters away before suddenly falling to the ground.

Not invisibility or acceleration, but teleportation!

Leaning against the fungal mat, Lin Jun had temporarily built a one-time teleportation array and successfully transferred Puki!

Rounding off, it was instant teleportation!

No. 10 silently got up, hopping back on one foot to retrieve the left foot left behind.

No problem, just a matter of proficiency.

Of course, there was still a bit of wind-up time, comparing the speed of the Demon King setting up a teleportation array was still much slower, but Lin Jun was sure that at the teleportation destination, the Demon King definitely wasn’t as convenient as herself.

After all, teleportation magic requires a target teleportation array, the Demon King can set up a temporary teleportation array underfoot, but the magic array at the destination must be arranged in advance.

Unlike Lin Jun, in theory, as long as it’s within the range covered by the fungal mat, she can teleport anywhere she wants.

Of course, considering the absurd consumption of magic power, this can definitely only be used as an emergency measure.

The most difficult teleportation magic can be used out of thin air like this, needless to say, other lower-tier magic.

Lin Jun can now casually cast various spells without relying on demon crystals, though not as proficient as No. 10.

Regrettably, No. 10 did not have the [Ultimate of Magic Guidance], a levelless skill.

According to it, it’s just a little bit off.

And this little bit is likely hidden in the information brought by the lightning ball.

However, this piece of information is strange; it doesn’t contain any content itself, more like the key to some "treasure chest."

But, where is the treasure chest? What’s inside? Is it the [Ultimate of Magic Guidance]? Lin Jun and No. 10 have no way of knowing.

Lin Jun did think about whether the [Ultimate of Magic Guidance] might exist uniquely like the virtues of great sins, with some Old Deng slime occupying the spot, preventing herself as a genius from obtaining the skill.

This can only be known after she defeats that annoying slime show-off.

After some research, Lin Jun let No. 10 return to the Pink Puki that’s been talking about it constantly.

And Lin Jun started pondering strategies to defeat the Demon King.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did she realize how powerful the ability to teleport at any time is, but... there are ways to counter it...

...

Duke’s Mansion, drawing room.

A young nobleman stood at the door, his right hand placed over his chest, bowing to Inanna.

"I will remember your hospitality today, Lady Inanna, and thank you for accepting someone as insignificant as myself."

She nodded slightly, her face displaying that impeccably polite smile: "Baron, you flatter me."

The noble lifted his head, his gaze lingering on her face briefly before lowering his eyes and leaving the hall.

He wasn’t Inanna’s suitor, but her follower.

In fact, after the incident at the last birthday banquet, some attempted to court Inanna.

But after one frivolous individual was suddenly frozen into a three-quarter cooked popsicle, no one dared to act so boldly again.

Those relatively discreet ones, after their various hints were ignored by Inanna, could only give up knowing the difficulty.

Over time, no one dreamt of winning the Duke’s Daughter’s favor anymore.

Rumors even spread privately that Inanna didn’t like men.

To this, Alama could only hopelessly let it be.

Conversely, some nobles who saw that Inanna’s strength and reputation coexisted began to bet their future on Inanna.

Like the young noble who just left, he was here to pledge allegiance.

Although Inanna didn’t like these matters, she still tried her best to do what she ought to do.

But once everyone left, she couldn’t help but slump into the chair, removing that mask.

In the corner, No. 4, who had been flipping back and forth admiring the tooth from her last duel trophy, saw Pink Puki finally finish.

With three jumps, he bounded onto the chair, skillfully burrowing into Inanna’s arms.

Inanna also began to squeeze its mushroom cap and short legs instinctively.

Rubbing Puki, Inanna finally relaxed.

However, she still had some concerns.

Recently, only No. 4 had been accompanying her.

What No. 10 said about leaving due to something happened long ago doesn’t count, and for some unknown reason, Xiao Fourteen had been frequently running to the Mushroom Garden alone. Though there’s no evidence, Inanna had a persistent feeling of being avoided.

"It’s an illusion, right..."

Couldn’t it be that she’s disliked by Fourteen?

Suddenly, a violent magic fluctuation appeared in the middle of the yard, with various alarms in the Duke’s Mansion blaring nonstop.

Inanna almost immediately jumped up, the fiery cloak on her body igniting.

However, she didn’t expect to see half of No. 10 when she reached the window.
