"Damn it! What's going on? What happened?"
The strong Aberdare was the first to get up from the ground. He looked at the undead remains that were torn apart by the shock wave and scattered around, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Because the scope of this impact was so large, far beyond his understanding of all magic and other supernatural powers.
"It's the mind flayer's mastermind! It sensed the threat and released a large-scale psychic shock!"
Sancho gave an explanation with a serious look on his face.
Because he used the magic storage ring to instantly send out the Bigbai protective palm to block in front of him, he successfully avoided being thrown out in a miserable state and only took a few steps back.
In comparison, Imoen, who was thrown out and hit the wall, might be the worst one.
At the moment, the girl with her hair dyed pink was half-kneeling on the ground with a look of pain on her face. She supported her left shoulder with her other hand and wailed with sweat all over her forehead, "I... I think my shoulder bone seems to be broken. I need to receive divine treatment immediately."
"Hold still! Let me take a look."
Jaheira walked closer without saying a word, and first used his rich experience as an adventurer to tear off his clothes and armor to check the situation. Then he forcibly restored the dislocated muscles and bones to their original state, and then cast a three-ring divine spell [Heal Moderate Injury].
In the blink of an eye, Imon's originally pale face regained some color. At the same time, he gasped for breath, and sweat instantly soaked his clothes. With slightly trembling lips, he said, "Thank you! I feel much better now."
“Don’t be careless!
The magic just now could only simply repair the damage to the bones and muscles.
It's best to avoid using this arm as much as possible over the next few days, and don't overexert yourself.
Otherwise it could go wrong again at any time.”
Jaheira warned in a serious tone.
As the oldest and most experienced member of the team besides Viconia, she sometimes felt very uncomfortable when she saw these kids in their teens and twenties having to fight the enemy in fierce battles, getting injured or even on the verge of death.
Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with this world and why it has become so cruel.
However, due to Jaheira's cold-outward but warm-hearted personality, she would not use a gentle attitude to comfort the young people in the team. Instead, she would adopt a slightly cold and serious attitude to strictly demand others.
Half-elf druids believe that only in this way can they grow rapidly during their adventures, learn little by little how to protect themselves, and survive various dangerous encounters.
It was obvious that Imoen was the beneficiary of Jaheira's elder-like education. She nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry. I am a mage now. There is no need to fight the enemy with a dagger after being injured."
While the two were talking, Nalia, who was eager to save her father, ignored the pain on her body and rushed into the last room through the entrance first.
After seeing this scene, the yellow-skinned mouse Bubu immediately made a shrill squeaking sound.
What's even more terrible is that Minsk, who always obeyed its orders, didn't hesitate for a second and followed closely with sword in hand.
The others obviously couldn't just ignore it, so they all filed in through the gate that was filled with the remains of broken undead creatures.
When they stepped over the threshold and saw what was going on inside with the help of the dim light, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
In the center of this ancient tomb, which was originally used to bury the ancestors of the Deanis family, stood a huge pond with a slightly fishy smell.
The pond was filled with some kind of sticky liquid that looked like it had a faint silver luster.
Immersed in the liquid was a tissue that looked like a human brain. Several tentacles were extending from the grooves of the brain, and the sides were covered with dense, brush-like hairs.
This was undoubtedly the new mind flayer mastermind, the mastermind behind the invasion of De'Anisburg, and the source of the maddening whispers.
At this moment, Sir Deanis, who was affected by the potion, had obviously exhausted his last bit of vitality and fell just a few steps away from the brain pool.
Not only was his hair completely gray, but his skin was also covered with horrible wrinkles and age spots like an 80- or 90-year-old man. His limbs had atrophied to the point where there was not much muscle left, only shriveled skin and bones.
Not far from this mad and powerful warrior, there were at least six mind flayers lying in a pool of blood, their bodies chopped into at least twenty pieces.
The mind flayers' attempt to control Sir De'Arnis ultimately failed, as the potion administered by Sancho would drive a person completely insane and render them incapable of self-awareness.
In the end, it was the psychic energy shock released by the main brain that stopped his final steps forward.
Otherwise, once it rushes forward, even if it just swung the Flail of Time to launch an attack, it would cause huge trauma to the new main brain.
More importantly, Sir Deanis' death was not an accidental death, but was classified as natural death due to aging of the body, so there was no way to resurrect him through ordinary divine magic.
In other words, Sancho successfully covered up everything he had done before by using only one bottle of potion.
"No!!!!!!!"
After witnessing her father's tragic death, Nalia, the last heir of the Deanis family, completely collapsed. She sat down on the ground with a thud and covered her face with her hands.
In stark contrast to when she saw her aunt's body just now and wanted to cry but couldn't, her tears now flowed like a kite with a broken string and couldn't be stopped.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became extremely weird.
The last few mind flayers who had lost all their slaves were surrounding the Lordmind, staring nervously at the intruders who were labeled as extremely dangerous.
Aberdare and his group were also on edge, staring at this horrible monster that they had only seen in nightmares.
The two sides confronted each other with Deanis's body between them.
Just when one of the mind flayers was about to stand up and say something under the instigation of the mastermind, Nalia, who had been crying alone for a long time, suddenly raised her head, her eyes bursting with horrifying hatred, and suddenly without any warning, she took out several black pearls without any luster from her small pocket, and threw them all towards the location of the mind flayer and the mastermind.
Although the main brain reacted quickly and immediately released a spell to block about half of them in mid-air.
But about half of it still hit the walls, stone pillars and the ground near the brain pool.
The next second...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Accompanied by violent explosions, these black pearls created spherical expansion force fields with a radius of three meters one after another.
The Mind Flayer had no time to react at all and was immediately torn apart by the impact of the force field. The tentacles on its head were either crushed into meat paste or torn off abruptly, emitting a shrill wail of pain.
What's even more terrible is that when these guys realized they were under attack and wanted to retreat and find cover, they suddenly found that the spherical force fields that appeared out of nowhere wrapped them up and made them unable to move at all.
In other words, these spherical force fields not only caused huge damage when they exploded, but also imprisoned them in place, unable to move.
Needless to say, the black pearls thrown by Nalia are actually a kind of consumable magic item called [Force Field Beads].
It is sealed and enchanted through the spell [Otiluk's Magic Sealing Sphere], and thrown out to trigger when needed.
Because of its wide range of applications, it is very suitable for dealing with warriors who do not know spells, so it is deeply loved by mages.
Especially during the period when Amn's magic ban was in place, the Guild of Masked Mages would often distribute [Force Field Beads] to members who were on capture missions. During combat, simply throwing them at the target would restrict the opponent's movements.
Except for the [Negation Wand], [Erasure Wand], [Disintegration], [Dispel Magic] and [Wish], all other attacks cannot break these force field spheres.
The only drawback is that all the [Force Field Beads] are sold at a market price of three thousand gold coins, which is definitely not affordable for ordinary people.
Of course, anyone who knows the market price of magic items knows that their actual cost is probably less than one-third of this price.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Nariya, who is a mage herself, to make it.
What's more, she had just signed up to join the Masked Mage Guild not long ago, and could obtain relatively cheap raw materials from this large group of spellcasters.
However, from the fact that she threw out all the [Force Field Beads] that were used to save her life at critical moments in one breath, it can be seen how angry this noble girl is inside. She doesn't even want to let go of a single Mind Flayer, but wants to kill them all here to avenge her dead father.
"Kill them all!"
Realizing that today's incident could not be resolved through negotiation, the Mastermind decisively issued combat orders to all the Mind Flayers.
It immediately cast the eight-ring spell magic [Labyrinth], and directly sent Aberdare, the first one who turned into a killer and rushed up to bite, into the maze of another dimension.
Given this guy's level of intelligence, it is unlikely that he will be able to find the exit and return in a short period of time.
Almost at the same time, the main brain waved its strong and powerful tentacles to try to grab Minsk and Jahira, two enemies who were relatively close.
Once this action is successful, it can complete the kill by directly sucking the target's brain, which is unable to resist.
It's a pity that these two are not vegetarians either.
Minsk immediately went into a violent state at the shrill scream of the yellow rat Bubu, wielding his two-handed giant sword and cutting one of the tentacles into two sections on the spot.
Jaheira transformed into a fire element and, with the terrifyingly high temperature radiating from his body, burned one of the tentacles that had wrapped around his body to a crisp.
If you sprinkle some salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder on it, you may not know who will eat whom.
"Imoen! Pay attention to the spell counter! Don't let it release magic casually!"
Sancho shouted loudly to remind his teammates not far away.
Just as he shouted, almost all mind flayer elders have a natural arcane spellcasting level equivalent to a LV20 warlock, or a psychic spellcasting level. In this respect, they are very similar to dragons.
It's just that the spell list tends to be more inclined towards enchantment spells that focus on control and charm.
Following the boy's reminder, Imoen immediately entered a state of mindlessly countering all spells.
This is also the role she most often plays in a team, doing her best to limit the performance of enemy arcane casters.
Since she often did this kind of work, she had gained a lot of skills and speed in countering magic, and she suppressed the main brain's spellcasting in the blink of an eye.
As for mind blast and psionic powers, since the mind-shielding potion is still in effect, there is no room for them to be used for the time being.
Moreover, since the main brain is still in its larval stage, it is unable to split out a part of the brain tissue and transform it into a golem-like creature, so there are very few means that can be used.
If it had not rashly abandoned the brain pool and put itself in danger and weakness, it might have used teleportation magic to escape.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! I'm going to tear all of you monsters to pieces!"
The furious Minsk roared and chopped the two nearest injured mind flayers into meat paste.
With the help of Viconia's magic, Jaheira also burned another mind flayer into charcoal in the form of fire element.
As for Sancho, he played the role of central coordination as always. When he saw a mind flayer being hacked to death, he immediately cast a dispel magic to break the spherical force field of the next mind flayer so that the melee fighters in the team could defeat it one by one.
With such clear thinking and tactics, the remaining mind flayers quickly fell one after another.
What was even more terrible was that Aberdare didn't know if he was just lucky, but after just a few minutes he suddenly found the exit of the maze and returned as a killer.
The most important thing is that this time he did not go completely crazy like before and attack his teammates together, but rushed straight to the brain pool.
Anyone who is not an idiot knows what it means when a killer gets close to you.
So this time the main brain did not hesitate at all and immediately activated the [Plane Teleportation] ability among its psychic powers.
But at this critical moment, Sancho, who had been waiting for this moment, decisively used the super magic skill - the spell was cast instantly, shooting out a green light.
Fourth-level spell [Dimension Anchor]! Instant!
The main brain's [Plane Teleportation] was locked by a powerful spatial force and was suppressed just as it took effect, ultimately failing to escape.
Seeing the killer rushing towards it to bite and eat its brain tissue, it finally couldn't hold it anymore and once again expended a large amount of mental energy to release an astonishingly powerful attack.
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A visible shock wave flashed through the air, and everyone present felt as if a sledgehammer had hit them hard, and then they flew backwards uncontrollably.
After successfully surviving this crisis, the main brain immediately cast a magic to dispel the effect of [Dimension Anchor], and once again activated [Plane Teleportation] and disappeared on the spot.
Before leaving, it sneered and taunted: "You guys want to kill me?
Stop dreaming!
I've worked so hard to get to this point, how could I allow anyone to ruin this plan?
Just wait and see, I'll be back one day.
We will then settle today's account.
Of course, the premise is that your sons of Baal can live to see that day come."
Needless to say, the mastermind's final successful escape made everyone in the team feel very unhappy.
Because they are only one step away from killing this dangerous monster.
Nariya was cursing and roaring like a madman, and then she lay on her father's body and cried.
If she had not yet mastered the magic of inter-dimensional teleportation, she would have chased after him without hesitation and put an end to the culprit who killed her father and all the soldiers and servants in the castle.
With some regret and unwillingness, the team members began the final cleanup of the monsters remaining in the corners of De'Anisburg.
Sancho was even more keenly aware that after Aberdare transformed into a killer this time, he was able to retain some self-awareness to a certain extent.
With a simple touch of the cheek, Jaheira was able to bring the brute out of slayer mode.
It was obvious that something must have happened between the two of them when they acted separately.
However, what everyone does not know is that the main brain that has just completed the cross-dimensional transmission is not in as good a situation as they imagined.
To be exact, it was extremely bad.
Because in the plane it had just arrived at, two humans who looked very strange were standing in front of it, their eyes full of mockery and amusement.
The relatively younger one asked directly, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this new main brain?"
The older one smiled and nodded, “Satisfied, of course I am satisfied.
In fact, I have already thought about how to make a series of upgrades and modifications to it.
Oh, by the way, could you help me get some mind flayer tadpoles? I also want to cultivate my own mind flayer community.
Because these guys' psychic skills are just too good to be true."
You don't need to ask to know that these two are Zuo Si and Shane VII, the planeswalkers.
Since Shane VII had always wanted to get a Mind Flayer mastermind for fun, and Zuo Si happened to see the mastermind that had just completed the transformation in Deannisburg, he simply notified the other party directly.
Relying on the powerful tracking ability of prophetic magic, they easily confirmed the location where the other party was sent across dimensions, and arrived there in advance to wait for them.
As a result, the main brain just escaped from the wolf's den but fell into the tiger's mouth again.
"Who are you?"
The new main brain cautiously explored.
Unfortunately, Shane VII had no intention of talking at all. He started with the instant nine-ring [Time Stop] and then activated the power of the Planeswalker Spark to turn it into a summoned creature card.
Looking at the series of descriptions and related abilities on the card, he showed a satisfied expression on his face and commented enthusiastically: "Although it is only a new main brain, it has a lot of room for growth.
I just need to go to other worlds and slaughter hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and I can use their living brains to upgrade it to a high enough level.
If you don't mind, I plan to go straight to the subhumans in the world we are currently infiltrating.
Especially those races that treat humans as slaves and livestock."
Zuo Si shrugged nonchalantly: "It's up to you, I only want humans, and what you do with the rest depends on your mood.
Especially those races that once fed on humans.
My personal suggestion is to kill them all without leaving a single one alive.
Because the long tradition of cannibalism will leave the instinct that humans are food in their blood and genes, and they will continue to attack humans.
So the existence of these guys is a huge hidden danger.
Moreover, by slaughtering and exterminating the cannibalistic races, it will also help to improve the status and confidence of mankind in the world.
In every way, this is something that needs to be done.”
"Haha, I think I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
A chilling light flashed in Shane VII's eyes.
As the emperor of the Shane Empire, a typical empire with humans as the main race, although he is now an immortal half-lich, he still considers himself as a human being in his heart.
Whether they were moon elves, sun elves, forest elves, or wild elves, they were either killed or turned into slaves for the enjoyment of nobles and wealthy businessmen.
Therefore, there are no longer any independent wild elven villages or gathering places in Kalinshan today.
Even after freeing the slaves, these elves and half-elves could only integrate into town and rural life and continue to intermarry with the large number of humans around them.
Within a few generations, the elven blood of the mixed-race children will become lower and lower, and eventually they will be completely digested and absorbed by the human race.
In modern civilized terms, this is called national and racial integration.
But its essence is to conquer by force, massacre men, and keep women as tools for reproduction.
In this regard, Shane VII is countless dimensions stronger than Old Bones, who abandoned his human identity in just a few days and regarded himself as a complete monster.
Why are the strong strong? The answer lies in their firm beliefs and their unshakable self-awareness and self-positioning under any circumstances.
In the continent of Faerun, many wizards who transform themselves into liches still retain their names, surnames, and races as living beings, and occasionally participate in some social activities.
He can even throw away his past life and the world view and values he has built up over more than ten or twenty years. No matter how powerful such a guy suddenly becomes, he will never be able to escape the fact that he is a waste.
Because his mind and heart are full of fatal loopholes, he can easily be calculated and exploited by others.
In this regard, Sammaster, the founder of the Cult of the Dragon, is the most typical example.
Don't underestimate him because he was once the chosen one of the goddess of magic and a powerful legendary wizard. He also seemed to be very brave in fighting against the Lord of Dawn, Lathander.
But in the final analysis, he is just a poor fellow who is fooled and manipulated by the voters under Bane, the god of tyranny.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "Is our protagonist okay now? Does he have any special reaction after dying once?"
"Hmm... I really shouldn't be clear about this.
Because he had not been seen for a long time, hiding in the deepest part of the huge underground maze all day long.
But those guardians have been quite active recently.
Not only are they actively active in the surrounding areas, but they are also trying to win over and bribe officials, nobles, and gang members like Eight Fingers.
It seems that after their true identities were exposed, these guys felt tremendous pressure to survive.
The Theocracy has now issued a public statement, specifying that the Great Tomb of Nazarick is the source of this century-old aftershock.
At the same time, it also shows that these guys are world-destroying demon kings who are more dangerous than the Eight Desire Kings. From top to bottom, they are basically either undead, demons, and monsters, and are the common enemies of all living people.
Now the overt and covert struggle has begun.
Countless adventurers from the kingdoms, members of the Dark Code of the Theocracy, and spies from the Empire gathered here, and fierce battles involving hundreds of people often broke out.
Our players have frequently fought with those guardians and their minions outside the Great Forest, and have successfully killed six of the guardians above level 100, as well as countless others like the battle maid Pleiades and other undead cannon fodder.
It is estimated that the cost of resurrecting these NPCs alone is already a staggering astronomical figure, not to mention the massive amount of loot dropped when they die.
But the players also suffered heavy losses.
There are only a few elite troops left from the first batch that entered the battlefield.
I think it's time to open a stable portal and allow more of the Fourth Scourge to flood into this world, forcing the true dragon kings to show up."
Sean VII gave a brief and concise introduction.
It is not difficult to tell from the undisguised excitement on his face that he is quite satisfied with what he has gained during this period.
Because every guardian's all-out battle and the equipment dropped after death allowed the half-lich to find the research direction that interested him.
Especially in the area of necromancy magic, which he was best at, he gained tremendous enlightenment and inspiration.
“In that case, let’s proceed according to the plan.
Remember to notify me if the other party mobilizes all their forces to launch a war of annihilation.
I was just about to take this opportunity to test the power of the Plantia floating city and the power of the large number of war weapons that have been invented.
In addition, these magical equipment will be used as rewards for the elite advance team and will be distributed to players through lottery according to the old rules.
After all, these guys won't do anything without profit.
If you want them to work hard, you have to give them enough benefits.”
After that, Zuo Si handed over a dimensional bag filled with magic equipment, scrolls and potions.
Upon seeing this, Xia En VII couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Regarding this point, I can say that I have been deeply touched recently.
Last time, the two female players almost fought over the red metal armor dropped by the vampire named Shalltear for its ownership.
Finally, I had no choice but to split the full body armor into two pieces of half body armor, which calmed the situation.
However, they are really willing to fight to get the rewards they desire.
The several suicide charges not only frightened the enemy, but also shocked the top leaders of the Church.
It is said that stone tablets have been erected for more than 600 dead players to commemorate their fearless spirit in sacrificing themselves for the human race.
I am now looking forward to the other party's expression when they see those players who have died in battle and whose bodies are no longer left appear in front of them again."
Zuo Si sneered and responded, “Who cares about them?
If these charlatans in the Church are sensible, they will hand over their power and submit to me honestly, and I can consider giving them a chance to live. If they are not sensible, I will just purge the entire top leadership and only keep the middle and lower classes.
If there is nothing else, I will go back first.
After all, things are not very peaceful in Faerun nowadays.
The Sons of Bhaal are still making trouble in the south, the internal conflicts among the Red Wizards of Cyre in the east are about to break out, the civil war in Sembia is underway, the Kingdom of Cormyr is now shrouded in shadow, and several of my men have started a decisive battle with the Harper Alliance in the north.
If you don’t keep a close eye on things like this, who knows what accidents might happen.”
Hearing this, Sean VII immediately couldn't help but tease: "When has the continent of Faerun ever been peaceful since ancient times?
Due to the interference of gods, demons, devils and other outer-dimensional forces, there are always endless crises and disasters in this land.
This is why I agreed without hesitation to leave Toril and never return.
To be honest, I'm tired of having to deal with all kinds of troubles and enemies all day long.
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to remind you.
Remember to pay more attention to the Chult Jungle across the Sea of Light from Kalinshan when you have time.
Ubtao, the dinosaur god who rules the faith of that region, is of vital importance to Toril.
Because if he fails in his fight against the nightmare serpent, Dendar, a terrible disaster may befall all of Toril."
"Ubtao, the dinosaur god? Dendel, the nightmare serpent?"
When Zuo Si heard these two names, he immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.
According to the information he got from some ancient books, legends and historical records, the nightmare serpent Dendar is also called the "Dark Night Serpent".
It got its name because it once swallowed up the only sun in the entire crystal wall when the gods and the Primordials were fighting for dominance, causing the entire world to fall into darkness.
This period is also called the "Age of Shadows", after which comes the "Age of Thunder" when the creator race rises.
Later, when the war was over and the gods won the final victory, a new sun was recreated.
There are different opinions as to who created the new sun.
The Sarrukh witches believed that it was created by the god they worshipped, the Cosmic Serpent, while other races believed that it was the main god they believed in.
By the way, the number of gods and faces that split from this cosmic serpent is astonishing.
Including the nine-faced dragon god Io, the snake god Melshok, the flying snake god Seth, the lizard god Samuanya, the naga god Snowkinist and so on.
As for which ones were completely split into two completely different gods like the goddess of fate Taiji, or which ones simply changed their names and added a new face, no one can tell for sure.
The only thing people know is that some of these gods derived from the Cosmic Serpent would even kill and replace each other.
However, the cosmic serpent was obviously not something Zuo Si was concerned about.
What he really cares about is the nightmare serpent Dendel.
Because he is one of the very few people who has clear records of having the power to directly crush the planet Toril.
Yes, you read that right.
Without the intervention of Io, the god above gods, Dendar could crush the body of Changtiia, the goddess of the earth. He is one of the very few terrifying monsters in the world who can truly threaten the gods.
He is not like the Chaos Hound Kozef, who is often just plain disgusting.
It's just like when people face a mad dog, they will subconsciously avoid it, but when it really comes to fighting, most adult men can kill the mad dog after paying a certain price.
Any god who has reached a medium level of divine power can also kill Kozef, but they just don't want to be bitten by a mad dog and make a fool of themselves in public.
There is a very old prophecy in the religion of the Chult Jungle that when the dinosaur god Ubtao is defeated in this battle, it will be the day when the entire world ends.
This obviously indicates that the planet Toril will be crushed by the nightmare serpent Dendel at some point in the future.
But what Zuo Sixiang couldn’t understand was what were the gods of this world doing when Dendar exploded?
What is Io, the god above gods, doing now?
Why didn't they come out to stop him? Did the gods get used to the fact that every time they caused a devastating disaster, the God of Gods Io would come out to clean up the mess and restore everything to its original state with his supreme authority? With deep doubts and puzzlement, Zuo Si soon separated from Shane VII and returned to his own wizard tower to let the succubus Loli lead a team of werewolves to set off from Calim Harbor by boat to the Chult Jungle for investigation.
…
At the same time, Mirabar, a major mining town far in the north, is facing a disaster that makes everyone feel despair.
To be precise, it was the ancient red dragon "Scarlet" Klaus, who had been staying in the lair for a long time without moving. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, he fell from the sky, covered the sky with his strong and huge body and wings, and opened his mouth to spew deadly breath of flames towards the city gate.
Boom! The terrifying high-temperature flames melted the hard stone and steel plates in an instant. The dark red magma mixed with the molten iron, and the guards standing nearby were burned into charcoal while screaming.
In an instant, the highest level of alarm bells was sounded in this town that had just begun to prosper.
Countless brave dwarves and humans rushed onto the city walls and arrow towers, adjusting the dragon-hunting crossbows installed on them, wanting to shoot and kill this moving disaster that so frightened all the rulers of the North.
But unfortunately, Klaus obviously has a lot of experience in dealing with giant crossbows.
He flies higher than other red dragons, and always suddenly lowers his altitude at the blind spot of crossbow shooting, using his dragon breath or his strong body to directly kill the arrow tower and the archer above it.
In just over ten minutes, Mirabar lost all its air defense capabilities.
Although some arrows successfully penetrated the hard scales of the ancient red dragon and caused some minor damage, it was nothing to Klaus. He just pulled them out with his claws.
Compared to the powerful enemies and life-and-death battles he had faced before, a few arrows were not even an appetizer.
To get a glimpse of this, just take a look at the horrific scar on Klaus' face that he is famous for.
The scar runs directly from the forehead across the corner of the eye, nose, and extends to near the mouth, almost dividing the entire face in half.
If it were a little more distorted, his nickname would now be "One-Eye" instead of "Scar Man".
One can imagine how terrible the damage caused by this blow was. It was probably only one step away from death.
But even so, Klaus still did not choose to escape. Instead, he fought with the opponent like a madman, risking his life, until the powerful enemy fell to the ground seriously injured and was completely torn into pieces.
Obviously, the reason why he appeared here angrily today was that Hared III arranged for some adventurers to use invisibility potions and scrolls to steal priceless treasures from the dragon's nest and bring them back to the city.
Using magic to track the location of the stolen goods, the ancient red dragon easily locked onto Mirabar and launched a devastating attack directly.
In Klaus's view, stealing is a naked provocation and declaration of war against him by the town below. He must kill one to warn the rest so that the mortals living on this land will understand who is the true supreme ruler here.
"Damn it! That's Klaus! Can someone please explain to me why the hell this dragon is attacking us?
We just gave him a memorial three months ago!"
A human member of the Shining Stone Committee looked through the magic crystal ball at the red flames on the ground and couldn't help but roar in anger.
You have to know that the Yaoshi Committee is the institution that truly holds real power in this city, and the nominal hereditary marquis is just a puppet.
Another dwarf responded with an annoyed look on his face: "It must be the Harpers! I told you long ago not to let the Harpers enter our city, let alone allow them to operate here.
But you just wouldn't listen! Now, Klaus must have launched the attack because he was angry at us for protecting the Harpers.
I propose that all Harpers in the city be driven out immediately.
Let these disaster stars fight Klaus to the death, and it would be best if they die together."
"It's too late! Even if we kick the Harpist out now, Klaus won't let Mibara go given his character.
Immediately notify the founder of the Adventurer's Guild, Hared III, and ask him to think of a solution or buy some time.
Tell him directly that we are willing to pay whatever it costs to resolve this crisis and ensure that Mirabar is not reduced to ruins.
Another thing is to immediately send a signal for help to the Trade Alliance.
We are part of an organization and we deserve help when we are in danger."
Another human councillor expressed his opinion.
At this moment, they who hold great power have already left the sunny office building on weekdays and hid in an underground fortress specially used for hiding.
This was the shelter that was dug when Mirabar was first established.
After all, if you don't make more preparations when living in the North where monsters and wild beasts are rampant, you would have died countless times.
However, the members of the Shining Stone Committee were apparently unaware that while they were having heated discussions, the Harpists' top brass had already begun to take action.
The Harpers, who claim to be on the good side, obviously will not sit idly by and watch the evil enemy, who they should be dealing with, wantonly destroy an important town in the North.
What's more, Klaus was most likely coming for the Harpist.
An elven archer wearing a Harpist Master pin is currently hiding in a dark alley and pulling an exquisite longbow with an enchantment level +4. The arrow hanging on the bowstring also emits a dazzling light under the arcane vision.
If someone who knows something about magic observes carefully, they will easily find that both the bow and the arrow are engraved with a large number of magic runes exclusive to elves.
Without exception, these runes were the killer weapons they used to deal with dragons in ancient times.
Needless to say, the elf magic archer came all the way here specifically to deal with Klaus.
Only his arrows could pierce the extremely hard scales of the ancient red dragon, and curses were attached to the arrows, causing continuous weakening and damage.
Because Mirabar was in chaos, Klaus did not notice that an enemy had locked onto him in the dark alley and was still swooping down and spewing flames.
When he lowered his altitude again, the elf magic archer finally seized the fleeting opportunity, decisively released his fingers and let the arrow fly out at an extremely fast speed.
