Boom!!!!!! With a loud bang, a blinding fire and violent explosion suddenly erupted near the southern entrance of the Eye Demon's Lair.
A dozen or so beholders that relied on their innate magical abilities to float about a meter above the ground were instantly engulfed by the shock wave, heat wave, and flames.
Before they could figure out what was happening, their hard shells were instantly shattered, and they turned into big bloody balls that fell to the ground.
Since the explosion occurred in a narrow tunnel at the bottom of the sewer, the space was extremely limited and the destructive power was far more terrifying than in open terrain.
In addition, there was nowhere to hide, so all the eye demons in the center were blown to death on the spot.
Those who were affected were all spurting blood from their big mouths full of sharp teeth. They looked dizzy and would fall down immediately after flying up, unable to maintain their balance at all.
As for the Eye of the Elder following behind the queue, although it was also affected by the shock wave due to the greater distance, fortunately, its huge meatball-like body and the hard shell covering its body surface successfully blocked and absorbed most of the damage, so it did not become dizzy like the other eye demons.
Just the opposite!
After realizing that it was under attack, it immediately cast several protective spells on itself, including [Stoneskin], as quickly as possible, and stared at the pitch-black tunnel ahead with vigilant eyes.
Sudden!
In the silence, a ping-pong sound came from far away, as if something was rolling down.
After about a few seconds, the Eye of the Elder saw a huge metal can that was more than one person tall and half a meter thick rolling towards them.
Chi——
The valves at both ends of the tank suddenly began to spew out large amounts of unknown gas, which quickly filled the surrounding environment.
Before the powerful beholder spellcaster could figure out what the gas was, a strange device on the top of the tank snapped and released a silver arc of electricity.
The next second! Boom!!!!!! Another explosion exactly the same as the previous one swept through every corner of the entire passage.
The metals that were blown into pieces were like rotating sharp blades, flying everywhere in the confined space.
Even the eye demon's hard shell that was strong enough to withstand ordinary swords and knives was torn apart easily, and the swords penetrated deeply into its fragile internal organs, causing terrible wounds that were bloody and mangled.
In an instant, both the dead Eye Demon and the injured Eye Demon were cleaned up in the second explosion.
Their astonishing fleshy bodies, with a diameter of two and a half to three meters and a weight of more than two tons, were like tattered rag dolls. In the explosion, they were effortlessly thrown against the wall or ceiling, and then fell down heavily, completely devoid of any life.
Elder Eye, realizing that the situation was not good, did not hesitate for a second and immediately wanted to cast teleportation magic to escape.
Unfortunately, at this critical moment, a beam of green light hits its body directly.
[Dimension Anchor]! Without any surprises, the teleportation magic failed on the spot.
Realizing that the enemy hiding in the dark wanted to kill him, the Eye of the Elder immediately changed direction and fled back into the intricate nest.
As soon as it entered the dark passage, Zuo Si and Erinikas came out from their hiding place.
The latter checked the extent of the injuries on the beholder corpses with great interest, and immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "What was in those jars you used just now? How could such an astonishing explosion occur? If the walls and ceilings nearby had not been reinforced with magic, the passage might have been blown down as well."
"Nothing, just some alchemical creations." Zuo Si shrugged casually.
In fact, what was in that jar was not something made by magic at all, but simply high-purity hydrogen and oxygen obtained through the electrolysis of water.
It is then converted into liquid form and stored under pressure.
When using it, just roll in front of the enemy as before, and then activate the closed valve through a simple trigger spell, so that the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen will be quickly ejected, vaporized, and fully mixed in the air.
Finally, only a small arc of electricity is needed to immediately produce a terrifying explosion.
Moreover, this explosion is different from the [Fireball] and the seven-ring [Delayed Burst Fireball] which only burn with high-temperature flames. Its main damage comes from the shock wave and vibration generated by the expansion of the air.
Therefore, whether it is energy absorption and spell resistance, or anti-magic force field, they hardly have any good effect.
Only force field protection magic such as force wall, shield, and Bigbye's protective palm can successfully weaken the power of the shock wave or even block it completely.
In fact, at the beginning, Zuo Xixiang wanted to develop nitrstarch, a solid explosive that was more convenient to carry.
But the problem is, no one knows whether it's because of the wrong process, or the nitric acid and sulfuric acid produced by the alchemists in Faerun are of poor quality, or it's because of the influence of the ubiquitous magical energy.
In short, the power is somewhat disappointing, far from as amazing as imagined, and it feels like a large firecracker.
After experiencing several failures, Zuo Si decisively chose to give up and turned to making a simpler and more crude hydrogen-oxygen mixture bomb.
After all, there are transformation magic such as [Shrinkage] that can shrink objects to only one sixteenth of their original size, which perfectly makes up for the disadvantage that large metal gas tanks are inconvenient to carry.
However, even though he had developed this "killer weapon" that could be mass-produced, Zuo Si had no intention of promoting or selling it.
Because he knew very well that if this thing were to become popular in Faerun, it would probably not play any role in promoting the development of science and technology except increasing the severity of wars and battles and the number of casualties.
And the ones who benefit the most from this are definitely the red-robed wizards.
When the time comes, their invasion of other countries will not be as troublesome as it is now, and they will have to coordinate the army with a large number of low-level wizards and apprentices.
All you have to do is order the necromancers to control the low-level zombies and skeletons, and carry the jars to where the crowds are densest.
What's more, on top of all that, there is the direct threat from the gods.
It is true that promoting new technologies and new knowledge will gain support from gods like Oghma and Gond, but it will also attract hostility from other gods.
For example, the god of war Tempus despised the use of "tricks" in war and battle.
In addition, there are many gods in the neutral or even good camp, such as the gods of nature and the gods of elves, who will feel strong dissatisfaction or even hostility towards this.
As for those evil gods, there is naturally no need to say more.
Therefore, in a world like Faerun where gods are everywhere, if someone wants to engage in "materialism" and imitate the modern society on Earth to vigorously develop science and technology and popularize education, it would be fine if he or she can just do it on a small island.
If you still dare to spread it widely, it means that you think your death is not fast enough or tragic enough.
Therefore, when Zuo Si uses purely technological items, he is always very careful, trying his best to ensure that they cannot be seen by others and can be successfully copied.
"Force field damage? It seems that the alchemical creation you made is a bit unusual." Erinikas said meaningfully.
"You still have time to care about this? If I were you, I would go after the Elder's Eye right now. Otherwise, if it escapes and comes back with more eye demons for revenge, don't expect to be able to do your research in peace then." Zuo Si gave a meaningful reminder.
When Erinikas heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He cast several protective spells on himself and then chased in with several golems.
Because he had the electoral power bestowed by Zuo Si, he no longer had to worry about the deadly viruses, bacteria, and toxins carried by the dead bodies in the nest.
As for Zuo Si himself, he followed behind and picked up the relatively intact corpses of the Eye Demons, intending to go back and make them all into Dead Eye Tyrants, to be used as an important force in the Mage Tower's defense against enemy invasions.
After all, waste is shameful!
Especially the corpse of a monster as powerful as the Eye Demon, which can retain all its abilities after death, must be fully utilized.
However, just as Zuo Si was following behind to take advantage of the situation, Erinikas, who was at the front, fell into a huge crisis.
When this powerful elven wizard caught up with the enemy, he was shocked to find that he was facing not one Eye of the Elder, but two.
Moreover, the main eye of the second Elder's Eye had been blinded and could no longer release the terrifying ability of the anti-magic force field.
But what replaced it was a higher and more terrifying spellcasting level.
There is no doubt that this eye magician is the supreme leader of the entire eye pit.
The leader that Erinikas initially thought of, the Eye of the Elder, was merely the latter's deputy.
"Damn it! This is really troublesome..."
Erinikas carefully hid behind the huge iron golem, with a strong fear in his eyes.
You know, dealing with one Elder's Eye is already quite troublesome, let alone two together.
Just as he was trying to use the zero-ring magic [Telepathy] to send a distress signal to Zuo Si and Rain and Badi who were at another exit, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Mage! Are you here to look for a divine weapon as well?"
"A divine weapon?"
Erinikas decisively chose to play dumb, trying to delay a little more time.
The Eye Demon obviously didn't notice this, and immediately asked in a puzzled tone: "If it's not for the artifact, why did you attack us?"
"Because you're blocking my way forward."
Erinikas gave a straightforward answer.
"Road? Is your goal also the temple hidden deep underground?" The Eye Demon's tone was filled with strong doubt.
Because it couldn't understand why the other party was looking for this lost ancient temple if they were not after the artifact.
Erinikas slightly and explained through the telepathic connection: "Yes, my target is also that temple, but not for the artifact, but for the saint hidden in that temple."
"Saint?"
The Eye Demon obviously didn't quite understand what the strangely dressed wizard in front of him was trying to do.
But just as it was about to continue asking questions, a violent magical wave suddenly came from not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a Balrog holding a giant beheading sword and a flaming whip rushed over and attacked without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, the two elders immediately stopped talking and entered combat mode.
The one with its main eye intact immediately released an anti-magic force field, trying to use this powerful spell-like ability to wipe out the Balrog, which was obviously summoned by the nine-ring spell [Gate to Another World].
Because within the range of the anti-magic field, all creatures summoned by spellcasting will be temporarily sent back to the corresponding plane, and will not reappear at their previous location until the anti-magic field disappears.
As for legendary creatures like the Balrog, even if they are summoned by the [Gate to Another World], they usually cannot last for too long.
So there is no need to fight him desperately, just wait patiently for the spell duration to expire.
Unfortunately, the Elder Eye obviously underestimated the spell resistance of the Balrog.
As a result, when the anti-magic force field formed by the main eye enveloped the Balrog, this powerful demon resisted the effect of the anti-magic force field, rushed forward in one step, swung his beheading sword and chopped it down fiercely.
You must know that anyone hit by this weapon blessed with vicious magical power has a certain probability of being "beheaded" instantly.
Although the Eye Demon's entire body looks like a ball of flesh, it actually has a head.
Therefore, the Eye of the Elder did not dare to take it head-on. He closed his main eye, deactivated the anti-magic field, and immediately released the fourth ring [Door] to escape.
As soon as it closed its eyes, the anti-magic field disappeared instantly.
Erinikas, who was originally unable to cast spells, completed the nine-ring magic [Time Stands Still] with extremely fast movements.
In an instant!
His body was forced to accelerate to incredible levels.
The people around seemed to be completely still at this moment, unable to move at all.
Without any hesitation!
Without saying a word, Erinikas first threw a Nine-Ring [Great Disintegration] to the Elder's Eye in the distance whose main eye was not blind, preparing to destroy all the magical protection on the other party.
Afterwards, he used the little time left to summon two seven-ring [Mage Swords], also known as [Swords of Mordenkainen].
Because this spell, like the previous [Great Disintegration], was invented by the famous legendary wizard Mordenkainen from the neighboring Greyhawk world.
The only difference is that the former's function is to strip away all the magical protection on the enemy, and at the same time destroy all magic-related equipment, items, and even artifacts.
Of course, how much can be destroyed depends entirely on the level of the magic item and luck.
If the caster is lucky enough, then one shot will definitely make the enemy feel heart-wrenching pain and despair.
Nothing can make mages and warlocks feel more desperate and miserable than seeing a set of top-notch magical equipment turned into scrap in an instant.
As for [Sword of the Mage], it is the same as [Wall of Force], both of which are force field-type energy-shaping magic.
Its effect is to shape the force field into the shape of a sword, and then automatically attack the target according to the caster's command.
Because it is a force field, this thing is almost immune to all forms of physical attacks, and only magic and energy damage such as disintegration can destroy it.
For the beholder with thick skin and amazing physical defense, the damage caused by the [Mage's Sword] is higher than that of most enchanted weapons.
After Erinikas cast three high-level spells, the effect of [Time Stop] disappeared instantly.
The world, which had been still, seemed to come alive again.
Before the Eye of the Elder even had time to react to what was happening, he found that the protective magic effects on his body, such as [Stoneskin], [Mage Armor], [Shield], etc., disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Several lenses equipped on the eye stalks to enhance the power of the rays also shattered instantly and completely lost their function.
Although not all the magical equipment on his body was destroyed, the loss was still considerable.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain came from the crack of the soft shell on the side.
By rotating one of its eye stalks, it was surprised to find that its body was pierced by a sword-shaped force field that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and a large amount of blood kept flowing out of the wound.
Almost at the same time, another [Mage's Sword] also stabbed directly at the huge main eye, obviously intending to destroy this big eye that can release an anti-magic force field.
Unfortunately, the Elder's Eye reacted quickly, and by spinning its huge fleshy body, it rolled in mid-air and barely avoided the main eye.
But he was stabbed in the mouth and a section of his tongue was cut off on the spot.
Needless to say, it probably won't be able to continue chanting spells for some time.
“Aa…
The intense pain drove this powerful eye demon spellcaster completely crazy. Ten small eye stalks instantly aimed at the [Mage's Sword] that was within reach, and madly shot out dissociation rays and damage rays.
After a short while, the two sword-shaped force fields were completely destroyed.
But just as it was about to counterattack Irenicus who had hurt it, it suddenly felt as if there was something behind it, and immediately turned one of its eyes with anti-invisibility capabilities to confirm it.
But before he could turn his eyes away, he felt a terrifying force coming from behind him.
The huge impact force sent the Elder's Eye flying more than ten meters away, and it hit the wall next to it.
Zuo Si, who came from behind, first used a [Bigbai Flying Palm] to knock the Elder's Eye away, and instantly released [Deep Darkness] to block the opponent's vision.
Then the Shadow Legion would take action, forcing him inevitably to the brink of death.
Although in this process, nearly dozens of shadows were hit by the Eye Demon's rays and turned into ashes on the spot.
But it also succeeded in turning a powerful Elder Eye into a captive who suffered respiratory failure and fell into a coma.
Watching Zuo Si's smooth spell connections and his sinister tactics that made his scalp tingle, Erinikas immediately understood why the two previous attacks by the top leaders of the Emerald Society had failed to cause any harm to him.
It's not that the latter is too weak, but that the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease, Talona, is too powerful.
Even without relying on the chosen power bestowed by God, Zuo Si is still a terrifying spellcaster, and he is proficient in both divine and arcane magic.
However, since there is a more powerful Elder's Eye, Erinikas did not care too much and immediately turned around to help Badi and Rain.
As soon as he left, Zuo Si made the unconscious Elder's Eye on the ground into a card.
[Creature Card: Eye Demon - Eye of the Elder]
[LV7 multi-color card (upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Precious]
[Effect: Summon an Elder Eye with LV16 Warlock level to serve the Planeswalker.
It also has ten eye stalks that can rotate freely and release various magic rays.
It can release at least three rays in an instant, with a power equivalent to that of a LV13 arcane caster.
In addition, when the main eye of the Elder's Eye opens, it will release a conical anti-magic force field within a range of forty-five meters in front of it.
When the main eye is closed, the anti-magic field will disappear instantly.
The beholder is equipped with a "spell storage ring" that can store spells of six levels, a "range-extended prismatic crystal" that can increase the distance of the eye's rays, and a "witchcraft ring" that provides the wearer with an additional fifth, sixth, and seventh-level spell slot.
At the same time, it also masters some super magic skills.
The Elder Eye can understand any language you speak and obey all your orders until it is killed or the summons is canceled.
[When using, you need to pay 15 points of blue mana and 10 points of black mana, or 25 points of universal mana. ]
[When the summoned Elder Eye is killed, the card automatically enters the cemetery and waits for rebirth for fifteen days]
There is no doubt that with the Warlock level as high as LV16 and the biological level of the Beholder itself, this card, like the Dragon Lich, is an absolute legendary creature.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Eye of the Elder was made quite embarrassed by Erinikas just now.
But if Zuo Si hadn't suddenly launched a sneak attack, the magic duel between the two would probably have continued for some time before the winner was determined.
After all, the Eye of the Elder has a powerful anti-magic force field, which is absolutely an overwhelming disadvantage for any spellcaster.
What's more, it can be switched anytime and anywhere.
For example, close your main eye when you cast a spell, and open it when the enemy casts a spell.
In short, it is one more trump card that can turn the situation around at a critical moment.
“The harvest from this trip is really good.”
Zuo Si quickly put away the cards, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he quickly turned his attention to the battle on the other side.
If he guessed correctly, this powerful beholder who was fighting against Rain, Badi and Erinikas on his own was the "Blind Eye" who would establish a sect in Athkatra in the future, and was also the supreme leader of this group of beholders.
Just like the name, this guy took the initiative to blind his main eye, giving up his innate anti-magic force field, and thus gained powerful spellcasting ability.
And judging from the number of spells he mastered, he should be an eye mage, not a warlock like the other Elder Eyes.
Especially the blind main eye, after being transformed through some kind of magic ritual, can absorb the spell energy from the enemy.
Every time it successfully absorbs energy, this guy's blind central eye will release a blazing red light.
It is precisely because of this powerful ability that it can remain calm under the siege of three powerful enemies and can continue to fight back.
Those eye stalks that were supposed to release rays have now almost all become tentacles used for casting spells.
Whenever the eye stalk begins to flutter, it means that the Blind Eye is preparing a spell.
In addition to this, there is an extra modified eye stalk at the end, which can actually release a chilling [Advanced Dispel Magic] ray.
With a spellcasting level that is very likely to be above LV20, every time it is released, it can instantly strip away most of the enemy's protective spells, causing Irenicus and Rain to be extremely annoyed.
Finally, Rain could no longer endure the pain of being stripped naked just after putting on protection, so she simply did not put on any protection and used the secondary artifact - the Staff of the Archmage to absorb the damage directly.
Every time she absorbed a spell cast by the Blind Eye, she would calculate the energy level in her mind, and then either release direct damaging magic, or save it up to use the [Level 9 Monster Summoning Technique] to summon powerful elemental creatures and alien creatures to help.
As for the Balrog that was summoned through the [Gate to Another World], he had long been sent back to his home in the Abyss by [Expulsion Spell].
Because these guys who participated in the battle were basically either legendary wizards, or great wizards and vampire queens who were only one step away from being legendary wizards.
Therefore, all kinds of spell counterattacks, confrontations, predictions and complex calculations can be said to be quite exciting, which made Zuo Si, who had never seen a truly high-level spell duel in Furen, very excited.
He did not rush forward to help, but instead cast [Advanced Invisibility] on himself and hid in the dark, watching the battle silently.
In particular, he memorized Erinikas's spellcasting habits, memories, and favorite spells without exception.
The moment the two become enemies, this information will become very useful and deadly.
Yes……
Zuo Si, who likes to be fully prepared for everything, has already begun to plot against Erinikas, who is still his ally.
In fact, not only Erinikas, but also the Lord of Symbols, the Chosen Ones of the Goddess of Magic, Manshoon and Fuzor Chamberlain of the Zhentarim, the Chief of the Red Wizards, the demons from hell, etc., had made a lot of preparations.
Although these preparations may not necessarily come in handy, having them and not having them are two completely different things.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zuo Si felt that his way of thinking seemed to be becoming more and more similar to that of a certain "master".
The only difference is that he is a selfish person and everything he does is purely for himself. He has no other lofty ideals.
After all, ideals, if not supported by a strong enough force, will be like a castle on the beach, which will collapse under the slightest impact of the waves.
While Zuo Si was hiding in the dark and observing, the magic confrontation between Blind Eye and Erinikas and others was gradually coming to an end.
Although the former relied on the [Advanced Dispel Magic] released by the last eye stalk to fight one against three in a short period of time, and even gained the upper hand at one point.
But as the high-level spell slots were exhausted, the situation finally saw the expected reversal.
Rain, who possessed the Archmage's Staff, took the lead in attacking, taking advantage of the opponent's blindness and inability to release an anti-magic force field, so she used up all the energy stored in the Archmage's Staff in one breath and summoned three berserkers from the bottomless abyss through the [Level 9 Monster Summoning Technique].
As soon as the latter appears, he immediately releases the spell-like ability [Hammer of Chaos], summoning energy from chaos to attack the enemy.
Since beholders are usually of lawful evil alignment, which happens to conflict with chaos, they immediately suffered incredible damage.
You can even see the blood foam spurting out of that big mouth full of sharp teeth.
Fortunately, the Blind Eye's vitality is strong enough, and it also has a high magic resistance. If it were an ordinary eye demon, it would definitely die on the spot if it was hit by three [Hammer of Chaos] in an instant.
Zuo Si himself had experienced the [Hammer of Chaos] released by the Berserker, so he was quite clear about the power of this divine spell.
If the target is in the lawful camp, the damage and range caused by this spell are almost the same as those of the third-ring fireball spell. At the same time, it can also cause a magical effect similar to slowness for several seconds to more than ten seconds.
Seeing the enemy being slowed down by the [Hammer of Chaos], these extremely ferocious-looking Berserkers immediately rushed forward, ready to tear the Blind Eye into pieces alive.
But unfortunately, when they got closer, they found that they were isolated by an invisible force field.
No matter how hard you hit it, you can't get even a step closer.
Upon seeing this, Badi immediately activated a [Great Disintegration] spell scroll, instantly destroying the wall of force and stripping off the magical protection on the Blind Eye.
"Quick! Now! Kill it!"
Erinikas gave orders to the Berserker and the golems around him that were still able to move.
But just one second later, a surge of terrifying energy suddenly released from the Blind Eye's body, sweeping away everything within dozens of meters around it in a way that was visible to the naked eye.
No matter whether it was the berserker or those construct golems, they were all crushed into flying dust in an instant.
Next to this powerful eye demon, there was half of something that looked like a scepter floating.
The energy that just gushed out was released from this half of the scepter.
Artifact!
This thought popped up in the minds of everyone present.
Because apart from artifacts, there is no other magic, items or other things that can kill so many creatures with high magic resistance at the same time in an instant.
What's more, the way those three berserkers and the golem died was so strange and unbelievable.
However, after the successful attack, Blind Eye did not pursue the victory.
Just the opposite!
It began to slowly retreat.
Needless to say, the previous attack almost exhausted half of the energy stored in the artifact, and it might not be usable in the short term.
But the problem is that both Erinikas and Badi were shocked by the terrifying power of the artifact.
They didn't dare to gamble, so they could only watch the Blind Eye slowly retreat and disappear into the dark passage.
As for Lei Yin, she did not take the risk of pursuing purely because she received orders from Zuo Si.
After the Blind Eye completely walked away, Erinikas's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he said with a lingering fear: "What terrible destructive power! No wonder Soth wanted to get this artifact."
"What should we do now?" Badi asked with a frown.
Although she was a vampire with almost unlimited recovery abilities, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine when she thought about having provoked such a powerful enemy.
Once the Blind Eye seizes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, it is estimated that there will be no chance to transform into gas and escape back to the coffin to recover from injuries.
"Don't worry, someone will help us deal with it. Didn't you notice that Soth, who came here early, disappeared completely after the brief attack before?"
Erinikas reminded with a deadpan expression.
"Damn it! I felt like something was missing."
Only then did Badi realize that there were only three people left out of the four who had acted together.
She simply couldn't believe that Zuo Si had been able to resist taking action when there was such a good opportunity just now.
But Erinikas explained meaningfully: "Sos obviously knew that the beholder might be carrying a divine weapon, so he was very cautious from the beginning and would only choose to take action when he was absolutely sure. And... just as I used him to achieve my goal, he was also using me to achieve his own goal."
"What a scary guy. Now I seem to understand why the goddess of poison and disease Talona chose him to be her chosen one."
A strong fear flashed in Badi's eyes.
Because no matter which god the chosen one is, his power must be very restraining against undead creatures.
Especially high-level or even legendary priests in the evil camp, who can even use the power bestowed by God to force powerful vampires like her to obey their orders.
At the same time, in the western passage about a few hundred meters away from the Eye Demon's Lair.
Blind Eye, who had just escaped death, was carefully passing through this place filled with a large number of ghouls, zombies, skeletons, and ancient mummies. He planned to return to the upper level of the sewer first, and then find a place to rebuild a new nest and make a comeback.
One or two failures are nothing to a creature like it.
What's more, the Eye Demon is a very strange creature.
Although they can produce offspring through mating, most of the time they do so through dreaming while sleeping.
When a beholder dreams of another beholder while sleeping, the latter will walk out of the dream and become a real being.
I have to say that this method of creating the same kind out of thin air is really very strange and incredible.
Because no other creature besides the Eye Demon can do this.
Some people say that when a beholder dreams of another beholder while sleeping, it is actually their spirits that are connected to the "Great Mistress".
Therefore, the "Great Mistress" who created the entire race of Eye Demons will immediately create an identical Eye Demon according to the dream and send it to the former.
However, all of this is just unfounded speculation by some powerful spellcasters who have conducted in-depth research on beholders.
As for what the truth is, I'm afraid even the eye demons themselves can't explain it clearly.
After safely passing through the vast area filled with undead creatures, Blind Eyes' vigilance had obviously dropped a lot.
Although the ten eye stalks are still rotating, conducting 360-degree reconnaissance without blind spots.
When it floated and moved to the spiral upward stairs, an extremely huge black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed steadily in front of it.
Through his innate dark vision, the Blind Eye clearly saw the other person's appearance, a deformed creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a scorpion.
Moreover, with the opponent as the center, the area within several meters is surrounded by an anti-magic field, so that it cannot cast any spells at all, nor can it activate the magic items it is wearing.
I have to say, this scene is quite ironic.
Because the Eye Demon, who was best at using anti-magic force fields, was completely suppressed by someone else's anti-magic force field.
It goes without saying that this half-human, half-scorpion creature is the warrior and wizard named Mural who was captured by Zuo Si in the underground maze of the "Mad Wizard" Halaster Black Robe.
Obviously, since this guy's tactics are very suitable for dealing with the Blind Eye that has lost most of its ray capabilities, he was summoned by Zuo Si for a head-on confrontation.
No nonsense!
There is no need for so-called conversation!
From the moment Mural fell, he immediately swung the [Sword of Solid Stone] to attack the huge meat ball in front of him, and from time to time he would control the poisonous tail stinger to sting the opponent.
After several failed attempts to distance itself from the opponent, the Blind Eye decisively opened its bloody mouth and tried to bite off the opponent's head.
The two powerful spellcasters gave up magic and staged a brutal and bloody close-range fight in the anti-magic force field.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere!
Whether it is Mural or the Blind Eye, they have only one goal, which is to kill each other.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Shadow Legion ambushed nearby and finally launched a siege under Zuo Si's order.
In just a few seconds, hundreds of shadows rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards the Blind Eye.
The huge number of them frightened the latter out of his wits. He tried his best to climb and float higher to avoid being touched, while frantically shooting out a large number of rays to kill these creatures.
Unfortunately, there was no way Mural would let him get his wish, and he quickly suppressed him back to the ground using fighting techniques such as jumping and chopping.
Finally, this powerful Eye Mage, under the touch of a group of shadows, was made into a LV7 card by Zuo Si, just like the Eye of the Elder before.
However, although the card levels are the same, the combat power of the Blind Eye is obviously at least one level higher than that of the Elder Eye.
Especially the last eye stalk, which was transformed through the study of magical power, can release [Advanced Dispel Magic] rays infinitely, allowing it to gain an advantage when fighting with the caster.
This can be seen from the previous spell confrontation.
If Erinikas, Badi, and Rain had not used up almost all of the high-level spell slots of the Blind Eye, it would have been difficult for Mural to succeed alone.
After the battle, Zuo Si not only swept the entire Eye Demon Lair and gained a large amount of mana, but also made several seventh-ring magic cards such as [Delayed Explosive Fireball]. At the same time, he turned the two strongest Eye Demon leaders into summoned creatures.
Even the bodies of dead eye demons were collected and prepared to be taken back to the Mage Tower to be made into Death Eye Tyrants.
The most important thing is that Zuo Si got half of the artifact before Erinikas.
Looking at this cylindrical metal object with countless strange symbols and words carved on it, he couldn't help but stroke his chin and mutter to himself, "Strange... I have never seen any of these words and symbols before. There is not even any record of them in the many books in Candle Castle."
"Master, this is not a word or symbol used by any known race or civilization on the continent of Faerun. If nothing unexpected happens, I think it should come from other planes and crystal walls." Mular carefully put forward his opinion.
After all, he is also the apprentice of the "Mad Wizard", and he has extended his lifespan for more than a thousand years through magical transformation. He still has some say in this regard.
"A divine artifact from another dimension? Then why did it appear in Faerun? And why is it kept by the ancient sun god Amaunator?" Zuo Si asked with a frown.
Mural shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry, since we have too little information at the moment, it's hard for me to come to any conclusion. But one thing is certain, that is, this temple must be hiding some unspeakable secrets."
"In that case, let us go meet this saint who is the remnant of the ancient sun god in the material world."
