Slobudo Town.

The demon lord with a body as slender as a lizard stood on the altar, his dark red scales reflecting a faint luster, flashing with an eerie color.

Demogorgon's body was as curved as a snake and as strong as an ape.

Two baboon heads squinted at its clumsy shoulders with two long arms and twisting tentacles. The uncontrollable killing and resentment made it hideous and terrifying.

With a shocking and terrifying roar.

In the surrounding void, faint scarlet shadows constantly emerged from the broken corpses of the Kuo Tao fish and the Ixi manta, frantically integrating into his body.

These scarlet phantoms look hideous and terrifying, screaming silently. They seem to be the huge energy condensed from fear, hatred and other negative emotions after the death of every intelligent creature.

"He is collecting the soul power of dead mortals in an attempt to increase his own power." The Mind Flayer Lich calmly described this situation.

"We can't delay any longer." The gray dwarf carrying the pickaxe whispered, "take action as soon as possible while he is still weak, otherwise we will be in trouble."

"Get ready to do it!"

The Mind Flayer Lich carefully opened his spell book, and a force field intertwined with arcane and psychic powers emerged. Others also took out their staffs and weapons with solemn expressions.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Brian didn't go far.

Together with Hesiah, he hid in the shadow of a collapsed stalactite pillar from a distance, avoiding the melee between the Kuo-toa fishmen and the Ixi rays, and checking the battle situation ahead.

Regarding the people of the Shining Society, from his limited knowledge, he only knew that their main purpose was to solve various strange phenomena that appeared in the Underdark, and they belonged to the absolutely neutral camp.

He also knew that the leader of the legendary team, the Mind Flayer Lich, was named Grazlax. He was a legendary Lich with both a psion and a wizard level reaching level 20 or above.

A race that specializes in psychic powers was transformed into a lich. This weird species did not surprise Brian at all.

After all, there is a lost city in the Underdark, Elianto, a mind flayer city ruled by the elder mastermind Lich Iolum.

Iorum, once the greatest great arcanist in Netheril, had almost defeated the mind flayers.

There, you can easily see all kinds of mind flayer lichs.

Of course, their strength is also uneven, and it is even difficult to reach the paragon level.

Therefore, the mind flayer lich is not a rare and strange species to Brian.

In fact, the thing that really made him unbelievable was the Mind Flayer Paladin.

Due to the mind flayer's unique reproduction method, they must capture medium-sized humanoid creatures, inject a tadpole-like parasite into the captive's brain, occupy the body's thoughts, and eventually transform into a new mind flayer.

It is said that the mind flayer paladin was born because the mind flayer captured a paladin, and then successfully parasitized the tadpole, and transformed it into a mind flayer naturally.

Who would have thought that at this time, the paladin's own mind suddenly woke up, reoccupied the mind flayer's consciousness, and took control of the body.

Just like this, by chance, this unlucky and lucky guy became a mind flayer paladin in the true sense.

Feeling the energy fluctuations in the air, he no longer thought about it, but looked at the battlefield ahead.

He could clearly feel that as the legendary team approached, the bloodlust and madness burning in the blood-red eyes of the demon lord Demogorgon began to be gradually replaced by reason.

This could not help but confirm his suspicion.

At this moment, the Kuo Tao fishman priest in the legendary team took the lead.

He took out the casting materials: a beholder's eyeball, threw it into the air, raised the magic weapon similar to a pincer staff in his hand, and pointed it at the demon lord Demogorgon instantly.

——"Advanced Dispel Magic!"

——"Glorious condemnation!"

Two divine spells were thrown by the fishman priest, and the eyes of the beholder thrown in the air suddenly burst out with a brilliant and colorful light, covering the demon lord's body.

The spiritual light shattered one after another, and Demogorgon's body was frozen on the spot for an instant.

Obviously, as a group of top spellcasters, when faced with a battle involving the demon lord's incarnation with quasi-divine power, they did not want to directly cast offensive spells, but focused on controlling and dispelling them.

After all, demons with god-like powers usually have frighteningly high magic resistance, and can even be immune to most low-level spells.

In this case, the most effective tactic is to remove all defensive spells and blessing spells from the opponent.

"Even if you can break through the demon lord's defense and temporarily control him by relying only on "Advanced Dispelling Magic" and the seven-ring divine spell "Glorious Condemnation", it may not be that easy."

Brian observed the fighting situation ahead with great interest, as if he was involved in the battle. He nodded secretly and whispered to himself, "With Demogorgon's current state, they need at least another disintegration technique.

magic."

The sword mage on the side has long been immune to his shocking words from time to time.

But when she heard that Brian could analyze the situation in front of her in a decent manner, she couldn't help but look at him in surprise and cast her beautiful silver-gray eyes on him.

For some reason, when Hesiah looked at his focused expression and eyes full of wisdom, he felt a beating heart for no reason.

Brian's eyes have always been on the Mind Flayer Lich, because high-end battles always require a legendary magician to take over.

First of all, the survivability of the legendary wizards is strong enough. With the chain triggering technique blessed by them, there is no need to worry about being suddenly killed by the demon lord. Secondly, their deterrence will also make any opponent afraid.

If a battle of this level were to be fought by a legendary master, even if he did nothing, the demon lord would feel helpless.

This is something that divine spellcasters cannot do. Although they have the ability to cast spells, once they reach the realm of laws at legendary level or above, they will be completely left behind by wizards.

He saw four tentacles made of translucent energy suddenly emerge from the Mind Flayer Lich's hood.

These twisting tentacles, following his whisper, danced swiftly and swiftly in magical gestures.

"Advanced Spellcasting Feat!"

Brian guessed the ability that the opponent had mastered, and at the same time, he was secretly depressed that he had been casting spells for so long, but he still hadn't automatically understood the prerequisite "Skilled Spellcasting" of the advanced skillful spellcasting feat.

——"Mordenkainen's Disintegration!"

——"Ectoplasm creeping tentacles!"

At this moment, the pale will-o'-the-wisp hidden in the eyes of the Mind Flayer Lich suddenly turned bright red, like the brightest star ruby.

As he opened the spell book and chanted an obscure incantation, a terrifying ray shot out from the sound of the incantation.

Demon Lord Demogorgon roared in anger, countless radiances flew from his body, layer after layer of defense was peeled off, and obvious cracks appeared on his bloody scales.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The sound, like burning firewood, echoed in the huge cave one after another.

At this time, the demon lord was like a fish that was forced to the ground, and someone used a sharp knife to frantically scrape the tight and strong scales on the body.

As the layers of scales exploded and shattered, in a short moment, it was stripped of its 'clothes' by the "Mordenkainen Disintegration Technique", and its whole body became bloody and bloody, with blood pouring down like rain.

Mordenkainen's Disintegration, also known as the Great Bankruptcy.

It is the kind of nine-ring spell that only wizards who are very good at protection and force fields can master.

Because, when this spell is cast, all magic and magic items in the area will be disintegrated, except for items carried or touched by the caster.

Disintegration is when a spell is broken into its individual components, destroyed as if by the effects of a dispel magic spell. Permanent and enchanted magic items must succeed on a saving throw, and a creature must succeed on a saving throw vs. spell when cast on a creature. Otherwise,

Requires a saving throw against dispelling magic, otherwise it is forcibly reverted to a normal item.

Even artifacts and relics are affected by Mordenkainen's Disintegration, although there is only a 1% chance per caster level that such a powerful item can be affected.

Therefore, when Mordenkainen's Disintegration is cast, the victim carries with him all potions, scrolls, rings, scepters, wondrous items, artifacts and relics, weapons and armor, swords, and weapons of all kinds.

will lose their magical abilities.

For a well-equipped professional, this is no different than bankruptcy.

at the same time.

The huge and terrifying solid ectoplasm energy penetrates into the material world from the shining silver vortex of the 'star realm'.

These shimmering ectoplasmic energy turned into a dozen translucent tentacles twisting like giant pythons, and once again tightly wrapped the demon lord who had just resumed action, suddenly tightened, and flew high into the sky, making him weightless.

The ground is floating.

"This should be a spiritual power he created himself."

Brian nodded thoughtfully. As a creative psychic, he could clearly feel that the function of these tentacles was not just simple control.

Because he had discovered that countless dust-like ectoplasm fragments were being continuously injected into the demon lord's bloody wounds, gradually weakening the strength of his struggle.

"roar!!!"

Unable to break free, the demon lord roared. Under the entanglement of the ectoplasmic tentacles, his body became ethereal and physical, and his face was twisted and ferocious, full of emotions of hatred, disgust, and anger.

——"blasphemous language!"

Pieces of ancient and powerful demonic words were muttered from Demogorgon's two heads at the same time, and his whole body was suddenly filled with terrifying sounds of chaos, killing, hatred, pain and other negative feelings.

These sounds centered on Himself and spread out, like the high-decibel sound on a square dance, to the entire town.

Suddenly, many Kuo Tao fish and Ixi rays who had managed to escape fell into complete madness, screaming like irrational beasts.

While dancing a weird dance, they rushed towards the five members of the legendary team.

Brian, who was watching the battle from a distance, also felt his whole body shake, and an inexplicable palpitating force began to affect his mind.

Although the demonic words of the demon lord seemed to have no meaning, they contained the most evil and chaotic energy, causing the surrounding darkness to boil and even causing different scenes to appear in the void.

He quickly regained his composure, activated his "mind blank" ability, cleared all his messy emotions, and calmly fought against this terrifying devil's words.

As the vomiting tunnels from the bottomless abyss, blood shoals, saltwater swamps, wailing jungles, rotting plains, screaming springs, and other evil abyssal planes appeared before my eyes, one after another.
