Chapter 465: Blind Eyes
Everyone didn't dare to act rashly, staring nervously at this strange eye demon. The reason why it is strange is because it has never opened either the main eye or the terrier eye since it was teleported, and a strange energy force field has formed around the body. Out of caution about the unknown, no one dared to attack at this time.
Suddenly! One of the Blind Eye's terrier eyes opened, and a breathtaking force swept through the entire passage in an instant. Except for Cerile Love, who was wielding the Emerald Sword, everyone else was stunned and couldn't move. Immediately after, it opened another terrier eye, and Yao En, who was standing at 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 Terrier is similar to the "Decree: Shock" in the seventh-level magic and divine arts, and the second is the eighth-level magic "Labyrinth", and all of them are instantaneous, requiring neither casting nor chanting spells.
Such a terrifying spell-like ability caused a large number of beads of sweat to quickly appear on Henry's forehead. Obviously, the strength of the other party has far exceeded his expectations. You must know that this is just two small eyes, and there are more than a dozen terrier eyes waiting behind them, and the most important thing is that the small eyes can cast spells above level seven, so what kind of power should the so-called strongest main eye have? Why don't you open your eyes and unleash a legendary spell!
The thought of fighting an enemy who could send a seventh-level or higher magic spell made him feel his scalp tingle. No wonder the Sage of Amanata would hand over half of the artifact so happily, it turns out that this guy has long known the power of the Blind Eye, if he doesn't use the power of the artifact. It is simply impossible for mortals to defeat it. It can be said that the strength of this mutant eye demon is probably comparable to that of some weaker abyss lords. It's not surprising that you can directly confront the sages of the gods.
However, Henry obviously could no longer be classified as mortal. Whether it is the powerful spell-casting ability or the self-power flowing in the body, it should not be underestimated. Without hesitation, he activated the ninth-level magic "Spell Trap" on the Archmage's Staff, and then shouted at his teammates: "You guys go to the Elder's Eye first!" Leave it to me here! ”
Kaidong knew that now was not the time to be a hero, so he nodded and admonished, "Be careful! If you need help, just shout, I'm always ready to come to help. ”
"Don't worry, I still have the artifact in my hand, and I'll be fine." Saying that, Henry deliberately leaked out the dark blue scepter for the enemy to see.
Seeing the artifact that had been merged into one, the Blind Eye trembled unnaturally. There was a hint of fear in the two eyes that had been opened. Obviously, he knew the origin of this weapon and its unparalleled power, so he floated motionless in the air, for fear that the impact of divine power would fall on his head.
Taking advantage of the fact that one person was fighting each other at a glance, Uncle Kaidong led the remaining three teammates to the back of the passage and began to besiege the Eye of the Elders. Due to the smoke and pepper-faced offensive just now, this unlucky guy now can't open more than half of his eyes, and he can't chant incantations due to his violent coughing, so it's not too difficult to deal with.
"Human, give me the artifact. You can get infinite power and untold wealth. The deep voice sounded from the bottom of my heart again.
Hearing this unnutritious words, Henry's face showed a look of disdain. "Infinite power? Countless riches? Are you making me laugh? I'm not one of those ordinary adventurers who would foolishly sell their souls to the devil. Neither of these things can be given to the gods, not to mention that you're just a slightly more powerful Eye Demon. ”
Blind Eye was not annoyed by the mockery, but calmly explained, "No! I can give it to you! I know how to obtain the mysteries of psionic energy from the Mind Flayer, and it is in this way that you greatest arcanist of mankind, Iorem, fused a mastermind. However, my research has only been able to devour and assimilate the mind flayer's brain, and I can't assimilate a powerful psionic user like the mastermind for the time being. ”
"Iolem? Assimilating the mind flayer's brain? Henry's eyes burst into light, and the momentum of his whole body was suddenly raised to the extreme.
As a time-traveler and legendary mage, he is no stranger to the greatest arcanist on the Path of Ferron. Iolem invented the Floating City and Iolem Life Extension Dafa successively, personally trained more than 3,000 arcanists in his lifetime, and personally opened the golden age of Nessreel's magical civilization.
However, when he foresaw the imminent destruction of Nesser, he abandoned his floating city and traveled alone to Elaineto, a city of Mind Flayer. Here, he teaches these fearsome creatures arcane arts, and selects loyal apprentices from among them to transform them into Mind Flayer Lichs.
In fact, the combination of arcane and psionic energy has produced an incredible change, and a mastermind has been transformed into an undead life like a lich or a vampire. Overjoyed by the outcome, Ioram quickly began a ritual to merge his soul and consciousness with the undead mastermind, and in the process, most of the apprentices died, with only a few sparing.
Today, the former Grand Arcanist exists in the form of a masterbrain lich, and is the only one in the multiverse. He hides in the abandoned city of Elainto, an abandoned city of Mind Flayer, where anyone who can break through the dangers can ask him for ancient knowledge.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and the questioner will have to voluntarily and permanently sacrifice some fragment of the mind (one to four points of permanent loss of wisdom attributes), or a new legendary spell (which will disappear from the mind forever unless it is redeveloped).
It can be said that there is only one case that can perfectly combine psionic energy and magic, and although there are countless powerful spellcasters who have tried in the future, they have all failed. Obviously, Iolem himself would not reveal the method of such transformation, because it was his own greatest secret.
So now the question arises, where did Blind Eye get this technology? You must know that this is not something that can be studied casually, otherwise the legendary spellcasters would not have studied it for so many years without a clue. But this monster does use psychic abilities, and it doesn't look like he's lying.
Seeing the flickering gaze in Henry's eyes, Blind Eye's deep voice sounded again: "Human, there is no need to doubt, I can sign a magic contract with you. By handing over the artifact, I can even grant you the status of the chosen people after becoming a deity. ”
"So you really have the technology?" There was a hint of surprise on Henry's face. He couldn't believe that the Eye Demon, who had always been known for his magical abilities, would have an outlier who studied psychic powers.
"Yes! This power comes from a brutal ritual. Maybe you've heard of it before, and that's the coming-of-age ceremony of the Mind Flayer Tadpole. My strong soul devoured the consciousness of the other to gain this strange power. After a long period of lurking and research, I finally discovered the secrets of the Mind Flayer's brains, and then went on a hunt for several years, devouring and assimilating their brains and growing my power. Hand over the artifact, and I'll tell you this method. ”
After listening to Blind Eye's description, Henry immediately realized that the guy in front of him was actually a rare anti-mind demon. No wonder it has psychic abilities, and it's so skilled at using them. The Eye Demon's outstanding magical talents, coupled with his strange and changeable psychic abilities, will sooner or later lead to the consciousness of devouring a mastermind like Iolem and becoming an extremely special individual.
He knew that the other party should not be lying, because modern medicine on Earth has proven that the source of all self-consciousness comes from here. This part is the brain's perception of external things, the "knowing" and "understanding" of things. Once the thalamus is damaged, it can lead to a loss of consciousness or complete loss of consciousness.
It can be said that this is the birthplace of the root consciousness, and if the psychic ability is really emitted by the brain, then the most likely part is the brain. Obviously, Blind Eye discovered this secret that had been tried so hard to hide by the Mind Flayer, which is why it became so powerful. I really don't know how many brains it has devoured, but it can actually keep a layer of energy force field around it at all times.
The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an evil smile. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you very much for your guidance, which allowed me to unlock another unknown secret. I'm sorry, but this artifact has another purpose, so I can't give it to you just yet. But with gratitude, I decided to kill you. ”
"Human! You've made the wrong choice! Death...... It's coming......" said Blind Eye, slowly opening his main eye, and all the psychic energy began to gather, looking like a terrifying energy storm.
"Death is indeed imminent, but it is not me who is dying, but you."
As soon as the words fell, Henry violently activated the "time stop" once a day, and instantly entered the black and white torrent of time. He knew that he didn't have much time, so he didn't hesitate to activate the ninth-level magic "Accidental Chain", "Simaneus" X3.
Four identical Henries appeared in place, all holding the Archmage's Staff in one hand and Daken's Seth Knife in the other. Three of them are replicas made by "simulacrum", with 60% of the professional level and spell slots of the body, it can be said that all of them are only one step away from the legendary caster, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
"Come on! Let's send this monster where it belongs. Without hesitation, the subject gave the order to attack.
I saw that all three clones nodded slightly, and then activated the "Accidental Chain" and "Simulacrum" X3 again, and the number of Henry's clones suddenly swelled several times. With evil sneers on their faces, they rushed in front of their enemies and unleashed the Sword Master's unique attack technique, "Lifting Qi Slash", followed by a stormy attack.
Although the shell of the Blind Eye is very hard and protected by the energy stance, it cannot resist the sharpness of Daken's Seth knife. In just a few seconds, the body was torn open with a hole more than a meter long, and the huge heart was completely exposed. (To be continued......)
