At the moment when No. 2's life disappeared, the Mind Flayer mother body suddenly felt as if it was pushed to the edge of a cliff, and was completely trapped in a dilemma.
If he chose to return to the familiar yet dangerous world of Faerun, with his current strength, it would be almost impossible for him to successfully escape the enemies chasing him.
However, if you continue to stay here and wait for death, the mysterious guy who controls the power of darkness may follow you like a ghost at any time.
"Damn you bastard! You have to go!"
After the Mind Flayer cursed fiercely, it gritted its teeth and finally made the resolute decision to return to the world of Faerun.
After careful observation and analysis, he found that although Krober had deployed considerable forces in the camp, he was not completely powerless and should be able to cope with it with ease.
As the saying goes, when faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.
Faced with such a difficult decision, the Mind Flayer no longer had time to think carefully. He had to take a gamble and risk everything, hoping to find a chance of survival in this life-and-death battle.
So, we can say this.
He no longer cared about those other messy and unimportant things.
No matter what the final outcome is, life or death, he must fight bravely.
If you continue to stay where you are, you will undoubtedly be on the road to death.
However, if you choose to move forward bravely, there may still be a glimmer of hope.
Even if all his sub-bodies were destroyed, as long as he himself could successfully escape, he could rely on his own powerful abilities to achieve rapid rise.
By then, when he has gathered enough power of faith, he will still have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of God.
Once he enters the divine realm, with the help of his unique extraordinary abilities, he will surely stand out among many gods.
It is even possible that he will make all these gods his offspring.
In this way, every law in this world will be firmly in his hands.
If things really develop to that point, it would be reasonable and understandable for him to call himself the Lord of the World, right?
But it’s too early to think about these things now.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to escape from here.
Through collective consciousness, he discovered that the sub-body troops that arrived at the other side of the space-time rift had encountered the soldiers in the camp, and the noise caused had alarmed Bellon.
"Alas... I still can't let you go too easily..."
The heart of the Mind Flayer mother was tight. Its huge body was just about to cross the space-time rift and return to the familiar world of Faerun.
At this moment, a faint and mysterious whisper came into its ears without warning.
The voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, carrying a hint of chill and endless threat.
This sound was not unfamiliar to the mind flayer mother, for it had heard the same whispers before on a distant ocean island.
After this whisper was uttered, all his troops died in an instant.
And he, like a stray dog, fled from there.
You know, the appearance of the mind flayer mother body is like an oversized brain, which is completely different from ordinary creatures.
Therefore, it does not have any so-called "eyes" such as visual organs for observing the outside world.
However, nature has given it another powerful perceptual ability - the power of the mind.
With this magical power, it can keenly perceive all movements in the surrounding environment.
Although in the fierce battle before, the mind flayer mother burned most of her own mental power in order to escape from the enemy.
But after this period of desperate escape, its mental strength has recovered a little.
At this moment, feeling the dangerous aura brought by the whisper, it mobilized its remaining mental strength without hesitation, spreading it around like a tide, carefully searching every inch of space around it, trying to find out where the enemy hidden in the dark was hiding.
However, what made the Mind Flayer mother body extremely surprised was that no matter how hard it tried, and scanned the surrounding environment with its mental power over and over again, it still could not find any trace of the enemy.
This mysterious opponent seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace.
When the mental power that had always made him invincible suddenly lost its effect, the Mind Flayer Mother instantly became panicked.
You know, the power of the mind is his most powerful and reliable weapon.
Even before, although he could not defeat the opponent, his mental power could still have an effect on Osus.
But unexpectedly, it has now completely failed. This is simply a nightmare for him.
Without the blessing of spiritual power, he was like a bird with broken wings. Although he could still fly, he had lost his most core ability.
In other words, he is now like a brain that only has the ability to fly, with all the skills but unable to display them.
However, just as he fell into despair and panic, frantically searching for the enemy's traces, something unexpected happened.
About five meters in front of him, a pitch-black figure slowly emerged silently.
At first, the Mind Flayer Mother was delighted, thinking that she had finally found the culprit who caused her mental power to fail - Ossus.
But he soon discovered something was amiss. Although the figure before him was very similar to Ossius, a closer look revealed a difference.
It turned out that this was not the real Osus himself, but just a shadow clone.
However, the oppressive feeling brought by just one clone was enough to make the Mind Flayer mother feel a little unbearable.
“Damn it!”
"Could it be that he was still suppressing his own strength just now?!"
The strength of the clone is definitely weaker than that of the original body. If the oppressive feeling of a clone is stronger than that of the original body, it can only mean one possibility.
That means the other party was holding back on strength at that time!
"There's no other way. In order for you to die peacefully in the world of Faerun, I have to find a way to take some protective measures."
"Otherwise, if I make a mistake on my first mission, they'll nag me to death."
The black shadow muttered something in a low voice, and turned his right hand into a sword, slashing fiercely at the brain of the Mind Flayer mother.
This attack was very fast. The Mind Flayer wanted to resist, but all his means were unable to stop this attack.
“Puff!”
