Broad World

Everyone didn't dare to act rashly, and stared nervously at this strange beholder. Vertex Novel The reason why the chapter is updated the fastest is that it is strange because neither the main eye nor the stem eye has been opened since it was teleported, and a strange energy force field has formed around the body. Out of caution against the unknown, no one dared to launch an attack at this time.

Sudden! One of the stalked eyes of the blind eye opened, and a mind-blowing force swept across the entire passage in an instant. Except for Saili Love, who was holding the Emerald Sword, everyone else was stunned in place, unable to move. Immediately afterwards, it opened another stalking eye, and Yao En, who was standing in the front, was immediately surrounded by a cage formed by energy, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

There is no doubt that the power of the first stalk eye is similar to the "Law: Shock" in the seventh-level magic and divine arts, and the ability of the second stalk eye is the eighth-level magic "maze", and all of them are instantaneous , neither requiring a casting action nor chanting a spell.

Such a terrifying spell-like ability caused a lot of beads of sweat to quickly appear on Henry's forehead. Obviously, the opponent's strength has far exceeded his expectations. You must know that this is only two small eyes that have been opened, and there are more than a dozen stalks waiting behind them. The most important thing is that the small eyes can cast spells above level 7, so what about the so-called strongest dominant eye? the power? Shouldn't it release a legendary spell after opening it!

The thought of fighting an enemy who could cast magic above level seven made his scalp tingle. No wonder the saint of Amana Tower handed over half of the artifact so happily. It turned out that this guy already knew the power of the blind eye, if he didn't use the power of the artifact. It is impossible for mortals to defeat it. It can be said that the power of this mutated beholder is already comparable to some weaker abyss lords. It is not surprising to be able to directly confront the saint of the gods.

But Henry obviously can no longer be classified as a mortal. Whether it is the powerful spellcasting ability or the self-power flowing in the body, it cannot be underestimated. Without hesitation, he activated the ninth-level magic "Spell Trap" on the Archmage's Staff, and then shouted at his teammates: "Go and pay the Elder's Eye first! Leave this to me!"

Knowing that this is not the time to be a hero, Kaidong nodded and said: "Be careful! If you need help, just call out, I can come to support at any time."

"Don't worry, I still have the artifact in my hand, and nothing will happen." Henry deliberately leaked the dark blue scepter for the enemy to see.

Seeing the artifact that was merged into one, the blind eyes trembled unnaturally. The two opened eyes showed a trace of fear. Obviously, he knew the origin of this weapon and its unparalleled power, so he floated motionless in the air, fearing that the impact of divine power would fall on his head.

Taking advantage of one person's eyes on each other, Uncle Kaidong brought the remaining three teammates to the back of the passage and began to besiege the Elder's Eye. Due to the smoke and pepper attack just now, this unlucky guy can't open more than half of his eyes, and he can't chant spells because of his severe cough, so it's not too difficult to deal with.

"Human, give me the artifact. You can get infinite power and innumerable wealth." The deep voice sounded from the bottom of my heart again.

Hearing such unnutritious words, Henry showed a disdainful expression on his face. "Infinite power? Untold wealth? Are you kidding me? I'm not an ordinary adventurer who foolishly sells his soul to the devil. Even the gods can't give you these two things, let alone you A slightly stronger beholder."

The blind eye was not annoyed by the ridicule, but calmly explained: "No! I can give it to you! I know the secret of how to obtain psionic energy from mind flayers, the greatest arcanist of you mankind, Iol Mu used this method to fuse a mastermind. However, my research has only been carried out to devour and assimilate the mind flayer's brain, and I cannot yet assimilate such a powerful psychic user as the mastermind."

"Iolum? Assimilate the mind flayer's brain?" Henry's eyes burst into light, and the momentum of his whole body was raised to the extreme at once.

As a traverser and a legendary mage, he is no stranger to the greatest arcanist on the Faerun Continent. Iolum invented the Floating Void City and Iolum's Destiny Academy successively. He personally trained more than 3,000 arcanists in his lifetime, and opened the golden age of Netheril's magic civilization.

But when he foresaw that Netheril was about to be destroyed, he gave up his floating city and went to Elaintor, a city of mind flayers, alone. Here, he taught these fearsome creatures the arcane arts, and selected loyal apprentices from among them to transform them into mind flayer liches.

In fact, the combination of arcane and psychic power produced incredible changes, and a mastermind was transformed into an undead life like a lich or a vampire. Iolum was ecstatic after discovering this result, and quickly began the ritual to fuse his soul and consciousness with the undead mastermind. During the whole process, most of the apprentices died unexpectedly, and only a very few escaped.

Today the former Grand Arcanist exists as the Mastermind Lich, the only one in the multiverse. Hidden in the abandoned mind flayer city of Elaento, he can be queried for ancient knowledge by anyone able to navigate the dangers.

Of course, there can be no free lunch in the world, the questioner needs to voluntarily and permanently donate some fragments of mind (permanent loss of one to four points of wisdom attribute), or donate a new legendary spell (this spell will be permanently removed from the mind) disappears unless re-developed).

It can be said that this is the only case that can perfectly combine psionic energy and magic. Although there are countless powerful spellcasters trying in the future, they all fail without exception. Obviously, Iolum himself will definitely not disclose this transformation method, because it concerns his own greatest secret.

So now the question is, where did the blind eye get this technology? You must know that this cannot be researched casually, otherwise the legendary spellcasters would not have studied for so many years without any clue. But this monster is indeed using psionic powers, and it doesn't look like it's lying.

Seeing the flickering gaze in Henry's eyes, the deep voice of Blind Eyes sounded again: "Humans, there is no need to doubt, I can sign a magic contract with you. As long as you hand over the artifact, I can even give you the elect after becoming a god status."

"So you really have this kind of technology?" Henry had a look of surprise on his face. He couldn't believe that the beholder, who had always been famous for its magical ability, would have a strange person who studied the power of the mind.

"Yes! This power comes from a cruel ceremony. Maybe you have heard of it before, that is the coming-of-age ceremony of the mind flayer tadpole. My strong soul swallowed the other's consciousness to obtain this strange power. After lurking and researching for a long time, I finally discovered the secret of mind flayer brains, and then hunted for several years, devouring and assimilating their brains, and strengthening my own strength. Hand over the artifact, and I will tell you the method you."

After listening to the description of the blind eye, Henry immediately realized that the guy in front of him was actually a rare anti-mind flayer. No wonder it has psychic powers and can use them so proficiently. The beholder's outstanding magical talent coupled with its weird and changeable mental abilities, if it continues to develop like this, sooner or later it will reach the level of Iolum, who can devour the consciousness of a certain mastermind and become a very special individual.

He knew that the other party should not have lied, because modern medicine on the earth has proved that the root of all self-awareness comes from here. This part is the brain's perception of external things, "knowing" and "understanding" of things. Once the thalamus is damaged, it can cause a person's consciousness to be impaired or completely lost.

It can be said that this is the birthplace of root consciousness. If psychic powers are really issued by the brain, then the most likely part is the thalamus. Apparently, the blind eye has discovered this secret that the mind flayers have been trying to keep hidden, which is why they have become so powerful. I really don't know how many thalamuses it has devoured, and it can actually keep psychic powers around itself with a layer of energy force field.

The corners of Henry's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing an evil smile. He bowed slightly and said: "Thank you very much for your guidance, which allowed me to unlock another unknown secret. But I am very sorry, this artifact has another purpose, so it cannot be handed over to you for the time being. But in gratitude, I decide to kill you."

"Human! You made a wrong choice! Death... is coming..." The blind eye slowly opened its main eye, and all the psychic energy began to gather, which looked like a terrifying energy storm.

"Death is indeed coming soon, but it is not me who dies, but you."

As soon as the voice fell, Henry suddenly activated the "time stop" once a day, and instantly entered the torrent of black and white time. Knowing that he didn't have much time, he activated the ninth-level magic "Accidental Chain", "Simulation" x3 without hesitation.

Four identical Henrys appeared on the spot, all of them holding the Archmage's Staff in one hand and Darken's Seth Knife in the other. Three of them are clones created by "simulation", possessing 60% of the body's professional level and spell slots. It can be said that all of them are only one step away from legendary spellcasters, and their combat effectiveness must not be underestimated. .

"Go! Let's send this monster to where it should go." The subject gave the order to attack without hesitation.

I saw all three replicas nodded slightly, and then activated the "accidental chain" again, "simulation" x3, and the number of Henry's replicas suddenly expanded several times. With wicked sneers on their faces, they rushed in front of the enemy and launched the sword master's unique attack technique, "Qi Lifting Slash", followed by a stormy attack.

Although the shell of the blind eye is very hard and protected by an energy position, it cannot resist the sharpness of Daken's Seth knife after all. In just a few seconds, the body was torn open with a hole more than one meter long, completely exposing the huge heart. (to be continued..)
