Chapter 780: Construction Site Riot Incident: Part 9

“...... It's our psychic ability, and this level of magic can't be protected. ”

The convoy came to rest in the wilderness, and the guards used wagons to construct an improvised line of defense, protecting a thick wagon.

The windows of the carriage were all curtained, and the windows were closed so that outsiders could not know what was going on inside.

Inside the dark carriage, Gregory lit a candle, and the flame flickered softly, illuminating the spacious carriage.

There were only three 'men' in the carriage, and in addition to Gregory and his 'transcendent' guards, there was also a Mind Flayer...... As for whether there is still a drow elf hidden in the shadows, it is unknown.

In the light of the fire, Grigory could see the true face of the 'monster' on the other side.

It has an octopus-like head and tentacles that hang down neatly, but these seemingly soft tentacles can exert great power if necessary, whipping enemies away or choking them by the neck.

It has no nose or mouth, small obsidian-looking eyes hidden under 'heavy' eyelids, and exposed blue-gray skin with folds that resemble a dehydrated octopus.

Instead of breathtaking madness, there was incredible fear and pleading in his eyes – Gregory could hardly believe that he could see so much in the eyes of an octopus, but maybe it was a kind of hypnosis?

From the moment he discovered it, and after much thought, let it into the carriage, Gregory felt that he had gone mad.

When talking about his [Psychic Ability], there was no smugness in the eyes of the Mind Flayer, it was not showing off, but begging for help from the human in front of it!

The Mind Flayer confessed everything he had in dry words, as Grigory demanded—it actually did everything he had asked for, which surprised Gregory the most, and he wondered if he was now in a hallucination, and what he saw and heard was a fantasy.

Gregory took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened, and he asked in a low voice, "Then tell me, why did you come to me for help?"

"Because, because ......" the Mind Flayer raised his withered ten fingers and covered his face in fear, "we have been deceived, we have been deceived!"

"You've been repeating this sentence since now!" Grigory was annoyed, "what the hell are you trying to say?"

The Transcendent Guard sat quietly, his hands on his weapon at all times, and if he noticed the slightest mistake, he would pull out his weapon and kill the monster in front of him.

If it weren't for Gregory saying 'it can provide useful information' and being willing to take the risk himself, he wouldn't have been able to get this monster close to the wagon.

The Mind Flayer didn't have a mouth, so he could only use psychic abilities to get his thoughts into the minds of others, and Gregory could taste the fear of the Mind Flayer, otherwise he wouldn't be so irritable.

The Mind Flayer's emotions affected him, so he couldn't hold back his anger.

The mind snatcher's body shuddered for a moment, and then a message mixed with fear and anger appeared in Gregory's mind: "Estem...... It never wanted to be our 'god'!"

Gregory's face changed, "What?!"

He couldn't keep his composure, as this assumption was the reason why they believed that Estham would order these Mind Flayers to cause sacrifices around the world, and not be afraid to die.

And from the words of this mind snatcher, it can be seen that they thought so at first!

But...... Why does it say that it has been 'deceived', and what is Estham's real purpose?

Gregory sorted out his messy thoughts, closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down, then suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"Because...... Our faith has nowhere to go......" The Mind Flayer couldn't help but start shivering, "And besides, I saw a 'monster'!

"Through the sacrificial ritual, I have spied the true face of that monster, and Estem will definitely come after me, so I need to protect - in this world, only your empire can protect me! I want to live, I don't want to die yet!"

Sharp thoughts echoed in Gregory's mind, causing his face to turn unsightly.

Fortunately, he raised his hand in time to stop the guards around him, otherwise the mind snatcher in front of him would have died.

It can't die now—maybe it doesn't matter much if it was before, but at least for now, it's not dead!

He needs more information, more information about this!

"Tell me, what do you see?"

Gregory stared at the mind snatcher in front of him, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you see?" tell me, and I promise to protect you—if you tell me the truth!"

The Mind Flayer's body shuddered, it didn't want to remember what it had been like, but it had to do it now......

It wants to live!

It doesn't want to die yet!

"A monster, a real monster!"

The fear in the mind flayer crept through Gregory's mind, and he had to choke his thigh to keep himself awake and calm.

He needed to figure out what was going on!

"All the souls, all the souls we sacrificed - not only this world, but Estem's tentacles involved several other worlds, it bewitched us, bewitched mortals, let us and them go to collect souls for it, all the sacrificed souls entered the body of that monster, and were devoured by 'it'!"

The message contained in this thought made Gregory's scalp tingle.

Estem is collecting souls not only in the world of Assatom, but also in other worlds!

At least as far as he knew, as of now, there had been four hundred and thirty-two instances of demonic sacrifices related to the Mind Flayer, and each time there was more than one person sacrificed!

This is only something that can be counted, and there are more demon sacrifice events that appear on the continent of Mendes.

In other words, in the world of Assatom, Estem has collected more than 10,000 lives and souls, and the resentment and anger contained in them are enough to curse a city and make an entire city count down to death.

However, Estem not only collects souls in the world of Assatom, but also in several other worlds...... Wait, how does this Mind Flayer know?!

Gregory suddenly lifted one leg and rested his hand on the armrest of the carriage, tapping his index finger lightly on the armrest, causing the crisp sound to echo through the silence of the carriage.

"How do you know so much?" asked Gregory in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the Mind Flayer was also stunned.

yes, how does it know so much......

It had been active in the world of Assatom and had never been to any other world.

During this time, it has been hiding in the dark to prepare for the 'God Project'.

But...... How does it know so much?

The Mind Flayer's brain began to tremble as it suddenly found that some 'other memories' appeared in its mind—memories not the ones it had personally experienced!

Gregory's heart was so apprehensive that he made a gesture on the spot—

Kill it!

The sword light in the carriage flashed, and the blade of the sword quickly enlarged in the eyes of the Mind Snatcher.

"No !!"

A creepy aura suddenly erupted behind him, and the guards guarding the carriage turned their heads sharply.

I saw that the thick carriage in the center suddenly exploded, and the carriage engraved with runes turned into debris and powder in the blink of an eye.

Gregory was thrown to the ground, and he struggled to get up from the ground, but when he sat up hard, he was stunned to find that—

His hands and legs have completely lost control!

At the same time, his brain uncontrollably recalled the 'great evil' he had just felt......

Is that...... What the......

"Lord Carlton!!"

Grigory lay on the ground with his eyes blank, and the guards had just arrived. (https:)
