Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 442 Never
Well, actually, this is nothing to Noshir. If a person of normal size was blown so far, it would still be quite dangerous, but Noshir's current size is as big as 15 meters.

Such a powerful explosion of mental energy was just like a push to Noshier, nothing at all, but...

Noshil, who was knocked to the ground, supported himself with his left hand and stood up quickly. Then he swung the battle axe with his right hand and cut off a piece of the giant tentacle that the main brain was waving at will. Then he flapped his wings to get out of the attack range of the main brain.

After escaping the attack range, Nosher's left fingers rubbed against each other unconsciously. He felt that something had just happened to the ring hidden under his glove. The 12 mental space diamonds that were originally enough to store massive mental energy seemed to have exploded in the previous wave of attacks!
As Noshier's fingers continued to rub, Noshier, who felt a foreign object, finally confirmed this.

One... no! Maybe more than one Mind Gem was shattered in the attack just now! Before the main brain appeared, the ring had been under the attack of dozens of Mind Flayers without any problem, but this attack actually blew away one of its Mind Gems! Even more than one broken diamond!

This is simply unbelievable! This is a legendary ring that is specially designed to strengthen and protect against spiritual energy! If I hadn't worn it in the previous battle, the attack just now would have been enough to kill me!
'How can he be so strong? This level of mental energy is far beyond the power of an ordinary mastermind. Is it because of Karsus's crown? No, there is no other reason. It must be because of this. This guy has only been wearing this crown for less than a week, but he has already shown abnormalities! But fortunately, I still have an advantage against this guy.'

Noshier looked at the main brain not far away, which was swinging its giant tentacles wildly and attacking madly. The shock it felt after being attacked by the extraordinary mental energy had almost disappeared.

"What are you doing! Stop it! Don't attack randomly! Attack the devil in front of you... Damn it! Could it be?!"

Catheric Som, who was almost accidentally injured by the main brain's randomly swinging tentacles, was standing on the other side of the lake shouting, but suddenly, he seemed to realize something, so he turned his head and looked at Noshil with incredible eyes, and Noshil also gave Catheric a relaxed smile, and then turned his eyes back to the main brain.

Noshir had known for a long time that the main brain could not see him, but before this fact was actually revealed to Noshir, he had only made a prior guess about the matter.

The Mastermind is a true psychic monster, and the greatest support for its existence is its all-pervasive psychic ability. However, its psychic ability is both its success and its failure. The ultimate specialized psychic structure has brought it extremely powerful and terrifying strength, but it has also left it with a fatal flaw.

That is, all activities of the main brain are accomplished by mental energy. Observation, listening, and even thinking, everything, are all based on mental energy as the main source.

But this also means that the main brain does not have visual organs in the conventional sense. Its greatest way of perceiving the world is, firstly, to scan everything in the world through the mental fluctuations it emits, and secondly, to observe the world from the perspective of the mind flayers under its own community.

However, Noshiel's own ring, [Psychic World], which possessed psychic shielding and psychological invisibility abilities, completely restrained the main brain's perception, and the special environment of the Underdark suppressed the effectiveness of the prophecy spell. In addition, he was carrying an anti-detection amulet. The combination of these conditions directly destroyed the main brain's first way of perceiving the world.

His second method of perception was also destroyed by Noshir, or more precisely, by his own iron predator. Those mind flayers that could serve as the eyes of the main brain had all died under the claws of the predator.

After all, there were not many mind flayers left here, and their psychic attacks were completely ineffective against constructs. Facing the Iron Predator, a top killing machine from hell, the feared mind flayers were just mice under the claws of a kitten, unable to stir up any waves, and died tragically under its claws. Now the two major perception methods of the main brain are ineffective against Noshir, which is quite unfavorable for the main brain, but on the other hand, for Noshir, this situation is quite favorable.

How difficult can a blind man be to deal with? After losing the senses it relied on for survival, the main brain was even worse than a blind man in Noshir's eyes. No matter how hard the shell on its body was, Noshir was sure to chisel it open! It would just take a little more time.

His current state should be able to last for another three minutes, but even if this state disappears, Noshil can call upon the magic of the wilderness again and transform himself into a non-human behemoth. A body size like that can also effectively kill the main brain, so in terms of time, Noshil is actually not in a hurry at all.

'That being said, it's better to deal with the main brain as soon as possible. This guy's growth rate is a bit too alarming. The burst of mental attacks just now really scared me. The fact that he can release spells also shows that his coordination with the crown is progressing very well. If he is given a little more time, this guy might get out of control like the plot in the original book, and then secretly come up with a real Supreme God plan. But now... Ha, you're unlucky to meet me! '

"Come on, Kitty! Help me stop Catherick! Don't let him mess with me at this critical moment!"

"Hoohoho!!!"

The Iron Predator spewed out raging flames, burning the last fearless brain-eating monster in front of it. It looked like a brain with four claws on it. Then it roared and passed through the dancing tentacles of the main brain, aimed its bloody mouth at Catheric's head, and bit it hard!

Catherinck, who had realized that the main brain could not observe Noshil and wanted to guide the main brain to attack through commands, had to pause his actions.

He waved his hand in the air, and the war hammer that was knocked away by Noshir flew across half of the battlefield and returned to Catheric's hand. At the last second before the predator's fangs fell, he smashed the predator's head with a hammer.

But the predator quickly turned its head back to the right position, breathing fire, waving its claws, biting, swinging its tail, and ramming. It launched a series of attacks continuously and wrestled fiercely with Catheric.

Noshier also used a big jump again to jump directly onto the main brain, picked up the battle axe and chopped with all his strength while being careful to guard against secret attacks.

Under such an offensive, Nosher quickly broke through the main brain's mental defense, and as his battle axe hurt the main brain's flesh and blood for the first time, the battle was finally coming to an end.

"No, no, no!!! I will never allow such an outcome!"
