The mushroom monster supervisor stretched out his two extremely long hands, which dangled from mid-air to the ground, and slashed through the air like sharp blades, attacking Gane.
Despite the two's attacks, Gane remained unfazed. He brandished his black staff, and the black magic circles in mid-air instantly split in two, their numbers increasing dramatically as they slashed at the Bloodwing Demon Lizard in the air, unleashing a burst of dark light.
At the same time, the black barrier around him lit up again, directly blocking the crimson rainbow light spewed out by the Bloodwing Demon Lizard.
Ripples spread across the black barrier, but ultimately were not transformed into rainbow crystals.
The mushroom monster supervisor's outstretched hands moved with incredible speed, instantly lengthening and twisting, passing through the sharp magic arrays and closing in on Gane.
At this moment, the black barrier had reached a certain limit under the stimulation of the rainbow light. The ripples were surging faster and faster, and the barrier was shaking. If it were hit by the supervisor's hands again, it would probably be broken.
But as Gane waved his staff, the dark storm in the sky suddenly subsided.
"Om-"
The howling wind turned into a piercing shriek. Anyone who got too close was caught off guard and their eardrums ruptured instantly, bleeding profusely.
Although the range of the converging storm decreased, its power increased dramatically, directly colliding with the hands of the mushroom monster leader and triggering waves of invisible energy that rippled outwards.
The remaining low-level mushroom monsters were affected and sent flying backwards. Even the five or six golden mushroom monsters had their tentacle "barriers" torn open, exposing their true forms. They were injured and festering in the ripples.
Luo Xiu's eyes lit up as he watched all this unfold. A fight had broken out again, and this was the perfect opportunity for him to pick up the pieces.
Amidst this intense battle, no one cared about the lives of these low-level mushroom monsters; he could even find an opportunity to attack some fourth-level golden-clad mushroom monsters.
He discovered that some of the golden mushroom monsters were already bleeding from their bodies.
However, just to be on the safe side, he moved swiftly, like a ghost, and circled around to a blind spot behind Gane, delivering a rapid and powerful kick to the barrier surrounding Gane.
It would be most advantageous for him if the two sides were evenly matched; the battle could not be one-sided.
Chapter 173 The Mushroom Monster with Clear Eyes
In the center of the hall, the battle was raging fiercely, reaching its climax.
The dark storm, now subsided, collided with the mushroom monster's outstretched hands, unleashing a torrent of energy that violently shook the gamblers who were struck, causing them to cough up blood.
Faced with the overwhelming dark magic arrays, the Bloodwing Demon Lizard in the sky flapped its fleshy wings, stirring up a gale, trying to blow away those wheel-like magic arrays.
However, those dark magic circles were clearly different from before under the blessing of Gane's staff. Their speed and power had greatly increased. They were only slightly hindered by the onslaught of the raging wind, and finally they still slashed across the Bloodwing Demon Lizard's body. A foul-smelling rain of blood fell from the sky, and the Demon Lizard's screams rose one after another.
However, the crimson rainbow light spewed from the demonic lizard's mouth was blocked by the black barrier and posed no threat to Gane.
If things continue like this, after dealing with the Bloodwing Lizard, Ganymede should be able to take down the Mushroom Monster Supervisor alone and win the battle.
Seeing this, Elijah raised her staff high, and a huge magic circle immediately appeared beneath Gane, attempting to summon a giant python to swallow Gane whole.
Her heart was pounding; she didn't know if this move could break through Gane's defenses. If not, then only defeat awaited her.
The Chamber of Commerce would never offend Gane for her sake, and she took action against Gane because she couldn't swallow the fact that Gane wanted to climb over her to get to the top. In addition, the casino made the first move, and she was confident that the casino could suppress Gane. However, she did not expect that Gane's strength was beyond her imagination.
Before Gane, she had only seen one other person achieve the feat of fighting two opponents at the fourth-tier level.
As the giant python's gaping maw emerged from the magic circle beneath Gane, Elijah held her breath, her hand holding the staff trembling slightly, knowing that success hinged on this moment.
However, an unexpected scene then unfolded.
The black barrier surrounding Gane seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow. The sphere, which was originally rippling like a curtain of water, was suddenly covered with cracks, changing from a semi-liquid state to a crystalline shape, and then shattered.
A golden opportunity! Before she could even think about what had happened, or even feel joy, Elijah swung her staff and a gigantic python rose from the magic circle, its gaping maw carrying a foul stench, ready to swallow Gane whole.
At this moment, Garnett was indeed panicked.
He had been carefully watching out for the lurking figure while fighting Eliga and the mushroom monster supervisor, trying to avoid a second sneak attack, but in the end he still couldn't prevent it.
He didn't even see where the attack came from before his barrier was shattered.
Facing the giant python lunging at him, he gritted his teeth, and a bottle of black potion appeared in front of him, which he smashed with his staff.
Thick black mist spread out, enveloping him. At this moment, the magic power within him seemed to be injected with new energy, becoming unusually active and restless.
The magic arrays surrounding the Bloodwing Demon Lizard in mid-air widened, unleashing a flash of cold light, and instantly severed one of the Bloodwing Demon Lizard's fleshy wings.
At the same time, the black storm facing the mushroom monster supervisor expanded by at least two times. Unlike before when it was more compact, this time the expanded range was even more ferocious. Dark light flashed and struck, causing the mushroom monster supervisor's hands to tremble violently, and filamentous substances to scatter.
Gane's eyes turned completely black, the black filling his entire eye sockets. The gaping maw that was biting at him from below slowed down in his eyes. He stretched out his hand holding the staff, and a huge magic circle appeared, encircling the giant python's long snout.
Swing hard.
The enormous magic array transformed into a black collar, with sharp spikes growing both inside and out. It had a metallic texture and contracted at an extremely fast speed, forcibly binding the giant python's open mouth.
Fourth-tier mage skill: [Imprisonment - Dark Shackles]
This scene filled Elijah with fear; she hadn't expected that Gane could actually perform triple casting.
A dark storm, countless flying wheels, and a giant collar were all unleashed by Gane simultaneously, and two of these skills were even infused with divine power.
But the next second, something even more frightening happened.
With the only arm that Gane could move, he released the staff, and the black staff floated in front of him. Dark lightning flickered in his palm, and the number [NO.27] appeared on the back of his hand, as if a god had descended upon him. A deafening thunderclap resounded from the ceiling.
On his arms, circles of magic arrays appeared, and he visibly became stronger, revealing well-defined muscles.
This familiar scene awakened Elijah's memory; it was the prelude to the casting of that dark lightning skill.
Quadruple casting?!
This time, even Luo Xiu, who was secretly harvesting low-level mushroom monsters, was somewhat surprised.
He underestimated these geniuses from the capital. Being ranked 27th in the capital was clearly no ordinary person. In front of him, Elijah was indeed not up to par.
No wonder Kanril's record at the Golden Apple Garden in previous years was poor.
It's hard to imagine how strong someone ranked in the top ten or even number one in the capital would be.
Thinking of this, he exerted force with his feet, and his withered arm smashed the last third-tier mushroom monster in front of him, then ran towards a fourth-tier mushroom monster in the corner.
The fourth-tier mushroom monster was positioned too close to the center of the battlefield and was severely injured by the aftershocks of the battle. Even the main body beneath the barrier formed by its tentacles lost an arm and had half of its head shaved off.
Luo Xiu sprinted wildly, his tall, thin figure now transformed into a complete alien in his pursuit of maximum speed. His extremely long limbs flared in the air like ribbons, resembling a water sleeve dance from the previous world, only far more unsightly.
But the advantages were obvious. He moved as fast as the wind, hiding in the aftermath of the fierce battle. No mushroom monster could detect anything amiss, and he quickly approached the heavily injured fourth-tier mushroom monster.
It wasn't until he arrived that the heavily injured mushroom monster realized a companion had come.
Seeing that its "companion" was completely covered in blood and its clothes were soaked through, with no other color visible, it realized that its companion was much more seriously injured than itself. So it moved aside to make room for its "companion" who had also come to seek refuge.
Luo Xiu was speechless, looking at the clear eyes of the mushroom monster, and felt a little embarrassed.
So he approached, and after noticing that no one was paying attention, he reached out and cleanly and efficiently ripped the head off the mushroom monster beside him, without causing it too much pain.
The headless mushroom monster fell to the ground, turning into red filaments that scattered and disappeared.
A notification sound rang in Luo Xiu's ear:
[Host has slain a Tier 4 Mushroom Monster (Modified), Points +50]
Chapter 174: A Sudden Increase in Strength!
On the battlefield, the magical torrents created by the clash of several warriors surged forth.
In the shadows, Luo Xiu approached two more severely injured mushroom monsters and, in the same manner, caused them to die without any pain.
After doing all this, Luo Xiu looked at the remaining three fourth-tier mushroom monsters, sighed inwardly, and did not make any more moves.
If all four levels of mushroom monsters are defeated, his identity as a mushroom monster will become useless, and he will have to continue exploring under another identity. However, this identity is obviously the most useful for now, as it will save him a lot of trouble when approaching the mushroom monsters in the first three areas. Therefore, he can only endure it for the time being.
Anyway, there will be other opportunities later, so he's not in a hurry.
He found a place to sit down, stretched out his right hand, grabbed his left wrist, and yanked hard, ripping off the withered arm instantly, blood gushing out.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one around was paying attention, he placed his right palm on the severed part of his left arm. A faint white light shone from his palm, stopping the bleeding.
If you're going to put on a show, you can just reattach the arm later with a healing spell.
Seeing that the Thunder in Gane's hand had fully materialized on the battlefield, Luo Xiu knew that if the casino didn't have a backup plan, the outcome of this battle was already decided.
Of course, he hoped that the casino would reveal its backup plan now, otherwise it wouldn't be pleasant for them to use it against him when he made his move later.
He gathered his thoughts and looked at the results of his trip to the Money-Making Casino.
A total of 35 level 3 mushroom monsters were killed.
A total of 77 second-tier mushroom monsters were killed.
Three level 4 mushroom monsters were killed.
A total of 731 points can be added.
Adding the three-tier and four-tier mushroom monsters he killed at the back door and the remaining points, he now has 811 points to add.
He looked at his current attribute panel:
Name: Luo Xiu
【Strength: 503/1500】
[Agility: 375/1500]
【Physique: 525/1500】
[Magic power: 355/1500]
[Mental Resistance: 335/1500]
[Points available: 811]
【技能：初级治愈术 LV.5（0/300）扬尘 LV. 2（0/10）审视 LV.3（0/100）奴役 LV.4（0/200）虚弱术 LV.4（0/100）点物 LV.1 (0/1)】
[Highest points: 2]
【LV.0 Supreme Body (1/10)】
"Finally, we've become rich," Luo Xiu sighed, looking at the panel.
He now has enough points to upgrade any skill, even Healing and Enslavement.
However, he has no plans to upgrade these two skills for the time being.
As for healing spells, upgrading can indeed further enhance the healing effect and also add the ability to heal soul injuries, but his current physical condition is not good enough.
When facing a fifth-tier opponent, they can turn you to ashes with a single gesture, leaving no time to cast a healing spell.
Enslavement was originally his first choice for the next upgrade, because it would increase his number of dependents, and he did find some decent enslavement targets in Kanriel.
