Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 213 Culling
To reiterate, this is a world based on DND.

The setting book that Leon had read before could only be used as a reference.

It is also said that there are many versions of the setting book, the most famous of which are the third and fifth editions.

In the third edition of the book, the challenge level of the Overmind is as high as 25, the same as the ancient red dragon, and only slightly lower than the Lich-Queen of the Githyanki, Vlaakith... What is puzzling is that if the Overmind is so powerful, why does it have to hide carefully in the Underdark, fearing that the enemy will find it.

In the fifth edition of the setting book, the power of the main brain was severely weakened, and its challenge level was only 14... It cannot be said to be only, after all, an adult red dragon is also at that level.

With that, it's understandable to worry about the Githzerai, Githyanki hunting parties, the horrific predators of the Underdark, drow raiding parties, rampant demons and adventurers, and so on.

All in all, based on Tassela's collection of books and what he had seen and heard over the years, the fifth edition setting book was of greater reference value, so Leon didn't care at all about challenging a main brain with a level of only 14.

With a low growl, Leon used the Fierce and Evil Spirit immediately.

His ferocious appearance failed to scare the main brain, but it frightened the mind flayers, giving his red dragon clone an opportunity. It used bites, claws, tail strikes and wing flapping attacks to suppress the mind flayers so that they could not show their heads and interfere with Leon.

The main brain also moved quickly, releasing a mind blast almost immediately, and then waving its tentacles to whip Leon.

Leon, who had entered the state of Vajra Indestructible Body, did not suffer any damage, but was indeed shocked - the Vajra Indestructible Body is not susceptible to damage, but can be controlled - until the Samadhi Fire in his chest began to burn.

The mind blast failed to control the red dragon, and the tentacles had no effect on it. The mind flayers that had been lying in ambush nearby and had high hopes for it were actually suppressed by the illusion summoned by the red dragon... Illusions could not hurt those mind flayers, so it was not an illusion. In the end, the red dragon pounced on it, but the main brain still looked unhurried.

As the pill was completed, all the essence, energy and spirit were refined into one pill. Leon was like a nimble big cat. He almost immediately pounced in front of the main brain that had no movement speed at all, until a transparent wall stopped him.

Leon stepped into the salt water pool and patted the transparent wall in confusion. He quickly realized that it was an invisible force field wall. Turning around, he saw a mind flayer who had just retracted his hand from casting a spell.

My goodness, that mind flayer is not an ordinary mind flayer, but a mind flayer arcanist. If he continues to pursue arcane magic, he might become a rebellious mind flayer, and the probability of becoming a powerful mind flayer lich is not zero.

Regardless of whether that mind flayer arcanist eventually became a mind flayer or a mind flayer lich, it was interfering with him now.

Leon bared his teeth, wanting to kill the Mind Flayer Arcanist, but he didn't know if one palm thunder would be enough. At that time, the force field wall would naturally disappear. He changed his mind and thought that by the time he killed the Mind Flayer Arcanist, the Mastermind would definitely be far away.

The wall of force prevents anything from physically passing through it, and can even extend to the etheric plane, preventing etheric bodies from passing through it. It is immune to all damage and cannot be dispelled by dispel magic, but it is not without weaknesses. A single disintegration spell can instantly destroy the wall.

Thinking of this, Leon exhaled, and the Samadhi True Fire burned the wall of force field in an instant. It seemed that Rupert's Tear was much harder than ordinary glass. However, if he grabbed its slender tail and applied a little pressure, the entire glass tear would instantly explode and shatter into pieces.

The Wall of Standpoint disappeared just like that. This time the main brain was really scared. It decisively used the monster control to try to control the red dragon, but it was too simple-minded.

No illusion could confuse Leon under the Sky Eye Technique. Without the force field wall blocking him, Leon immediately pounced on the main brain, ignoring the countless arcane missiles hitting him from behind, and dragged the main brain, which was just a large monster, into the salt water pool.

The Elder Brain is arrogant, scheming, and power-hungry, but when faced with a powerful enemy, it is quick to flee or beg for mercy.

"Feel sorry."

"I was wrong."

"Great Lord Red Dragon, please forgive me."

"All the money we hid is yours now."

If it were an ordinary red dragon, it would most likely stop after hearing the last sentence of the main brain.

Leon didn't care about the money at all. On the contrary, he knew very well how cunning the main brain was. It didn't run fast, but it could teleport to another world. He had no means of counterattack, so he didn't waste any words. He just opened his mouth and used the Samadhi True Fire. The fire did not need to be charged and could be used whenever he wanted. He focused on a quick victory.

As a red dragon, Angmog has fire resistance, which can reduce a lot of damage when facing the Samadhi True Fire. The poor mainframe has no damage resistance at all, and it cannot withstand the Samadhi True Fire at a close distance.

Just like that, it was very simple. He controlled an entire colony of mind flayers and scared the gray dwarves so much that they dared not approach the Ghost Road's main brain. They didn't even last a minute under Lyon's Samadhi True Fire and died in a pitiful and ridiculous way.

That's right. Leon now has the courage to face the Balor and the Hellfire. If it's so difficult to defeat a challenge level 14 mastermind, and it's a - fight, that would be fine... But it's another story if it's a powerful mastermind of a mind flayer colony.

Leon killed the main brain easily, but he was worried about cutting it into pieces. Looking back, he saw that the mind flayers had killed one of his red dragon clones, but they also left two bodies. Leon stared at the mind flayer arcanist who kept interfering and attacking him. When he saw that the mind flayer arcanist decisively used the Phantom Step to escape after finding that the main brain was dead, he caught up with the other party with a gathering and dispersion technique, grabbed him, ignored the shield spell, bit him in half, and spit out half of his body.

Pooh--

It tastes really bad.

With the death of the mastermind, the mind flayers had no desire to fight anymore.

If you don't root out the weeds, they will grow again in the spring breeze. Leon was unwilling to let go of any mind flayer. Because this place was not suitable for swinging the sword, he did not take out the Blade of Cataclysm. It was a rare opportunity for the Tearing Claw to show off. One swing of the claw would kill a mind flayer...

One real body and one clone, the two red dragons worked together and easily killed the mind flayers who were originally ambushing near the main brain pool and whose morale was broken by the death of the main brain.

Although it is a small mind flayer colony, there are still more than a dozen mind flayers.

There are mind flayers in the central square and in the laboratory. Those mind flayer rope column monsters are surprisingly powerful. Not only can they cause mind blasts, but their tentacles are also quite annoying... It really took Leon a lot of time to clean up an entire mind flayer colony.

Until the end of the battle, Leon had a chance to catch his breath. Recalling what had just happened in the battle, he was still frightened. Fortunately, he was not an ordinary teenage red dragon, otherwise he would have definitely been defeated here.

There is no if in the world. If he was just an ordinary red dragon, he wouldn't be so reckless. Leon didn't care too much about the fact that he was actually calculated by the main brain.

Leon figured that a few Mind Flayers must have managed to escape, but without the Mastermind, nothing could be done. He had no mood to chase them, so he excitedly returned to the Mastermind pool, ready to start looting from there.

The main brain didn't have any equipment on it, so maybe it had a lot of nutrition as food. However, Leon didn't have the courage to eat it, even if it was just a bite to taste it.

Perhaps he could give the main brain's corpse to Cecilia to enjoy and help her awaken her psychic powers... Leon was just a bad-hearted person, and wanted to see the green dragon eating the main brain's corpse with a bitter face, so he decisively used the art of capturing objects, and with a wave of his hand, he collected the main brain's corpse into the small space in his sleeve.

Take a look at the Mind Flayer tadpoles in the salt water pool. They should still be of some value.

Leon changed into human form and went out to find a few brain jars, which were used to hold the brains of the dead mind flayers outside, to prevent them from rotting when they were sent to the main brain. He thought it would be no problem to hold some mind flayer tadpoles.

Leon stuffed dozens of mind flayer tadpoles into the three brain jars. When he felt it was enough, he scratched the back of his head while looking at the remaining mind flayer tadpoles.

If the mind flayer tadpoles are left alone, no longer serving as food for the main brain and no longer being fed by their caretakers, they may kill each other out of hunger, and only one will survive and grow into a giant mind flayer worm.

The mind flayers are completely devoid of intelligence and only follow their predatory survival instincts. They wander in underground tunnels, using primitive psychic energy to find and devour brains to satisfy their endless hunger, and will even prey on mind flayers.

Thinking of this, Leon, who was originally preparing to fire a palm thunder at the salt water pool to kill all those mind flayer tadpoles, slowly withdrew his hand and gave up that plan.

After the main brain's lair was searched, Leon began to search other places, first the brain chamber, then the brain bank, and the cleaning room and the public lounge...

You should check out every Mind Flayer's room, you might find something unexpected.

Because the birth of a mind flayer is uncommon, otherwise there wouldn't be enough brains to eat, so it's not surprising that the birthing pod is empty.

Leon discovered that there was another tadpole room hiding some Mind Flayer tadpoles, and he found a brain jar and took some away.

Unlike many other aberrations, mind flayers are humanoid in appearance, allowing them to wear the same magic items as human characters, allowing them to collect those items.

Some mind flayers also create many useful magic items, items that protect them from physical harm.

Leon found a lot of magic props. It doesn’t matter if he can’t use them. He can sell them for a good sum of money.

A large number of resonance stones became Leon's spoils of war. He would have to wait until he had free time to figure out what their specific uses were.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Lyon took everything he could take away. Since he mastered the art of carrying his loot, he no longer had to worry about how to carry it.

Well, it’s another fruitful day.
