Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 438 I am the protagonist now

The Shaper of the Realm is located in the Undercity area of ​​Baldur's Gate. In the game, you must pass through the path next to the Temple of Baal, but there are more options in reality.

At this time, countless skull rats gathered on the dock leading to the Shaper Secret Tales. Their scarlet eyes flashed strange light in the darkness. Affected by the psychic power of the Naishe Brain, they attacked the approaching protagonist group, and then were killed by the Spirit Guard cast by Shadow Heart.

"Once you set foot on this path, there is no turning back." Leon crossed his arms, "You should be ready now."

"At this point, there is no way we can retreat." Xie Nian's eyes fell on the small boat swaying with the waves at the dock, and then he slowly walked to the mooring pile, untied the rope that secured the boat, jumped onto the boat first, picked up the oars and waited for everyone.

"Sir Leon, do you think we can win?" Gale believed in Leon. He felt that Leon had extraordinary powers, and even he, a genius wizard, could not see through him... In fact, deep down in his heart, he still trusted the gravekeeper more, but the latter would not follow them on adventures and would only stay in the camp.

"I will definitely win." Leon said with a smile, "If I can't win, what will happen to my Karsus Crown and Nether Stone?"

"Gail, what are you worried about?" Kalak patted the Hell Engine on her chest proudly, making a humming sound. She was full of confidence, "We have three Nether Stones. We just need to take out three Nether Stones to control the main brain, let it take away the Mind Flayer tadpoles in our heads, and then kill it..."

"After everything is over, after everything is over," Kalak said excitedly, his voice full of anticipation, "I want to... I don't know what to do, except fighting and killing. I don't seem to know anything else. What do you think about me opening a bakery?"

The sudden thought made her grin.

"I will come here every day." The same experience of being persecuted by the devil made Will and Karak particularly close.

"Hehehe, I remember you are the son of Duke Gao, right? How about you hire me as your bodyguard?" Kalak raised his hand and flexed his muscles. "You chased me before, and now I will protect you. Isn't that interesting?"

"Your contract with Mizora is over. She will no longer be your lord, and you can no longer gain power from her..." Gotash is dead, and Netherno is not far away. Kalak smiled happily, "Your strength will not improve, and I will become stronger and stronger. From now on, I will be the Border Blade, the Border Blade Kalak."

"After the contract ends, I won't be able to gain power from her, but I will read books and exercise..." Will said with his shoulders drooping, "Well, I don't have any talent for magic. If I can't gain power from the master, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to improve... Maybe I should go into government affairs."

Kalak pointed at Will and said, "Baldur's Gate needs a good leader like you."

Kalak and Will were imagining the future happily. Leon, who was undoubtedly a bad guy, interrupted with evil intentions: "Have you heard? Those who keep saying that they will return home to get married after I finish this battle will inevitably die in the next battle, because fate loves to play tricks on people the most."

Looking at Kalak covering his mouth, Leon couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The boat pierced through the darkness, with only the sound of quiet and gentle water rhythmically hitting the rocks. After sailing in the darkness for ten minutes, a violent psychic wave suddenly came from above -

"Be careful." Leon warned, but it was too late, mainly because it was too difficult for the boat to turn.

Sharp stalactites fell from the sky like sharp arrows, instantly piercing the fragile hull.

Everyone fell into the water and swam hard towards the shore. It was a smuggling channel of the Shield Knights.

The air was filled with the smell of brine, blended with the power of magic. The power from the main brain oppressed the protagonists to the point where they almost knelt down, and they finally managed to stand up after passing the immunity.

The boat broke and sank. It was difficult to travel by water, but the land route was also fine. Everyone moved forward along the land route. Suddenly, a large group of brain-eating monsters emerged from all directions, as well as upgraded versions of the intelligence gluttons. They would self-destruct when they died, but one fireball was enough to kill a large number of them.

Follow the direction indicated by the headless corpse until you reach the end. There is only deathly silence here, and the air smells of corruption and staleness.

"It's nearby, get the gem ready." The Mind Flayer Lord emerged from the Astral Prism, his feet off the ground, suspended in the air.

Xie Nian pulled out three pieces of Nether Stone from his pocket and put them into one. He suddenly felt his blood flow slow down and all his senses were tense, as if they would be completely broken in a moment.

The ground began to shake violently, and the dark pool of water rolled and boiled.

In the huge splash of water, the head of Nasir, wearing the crown of Karsus, slowly rose.

A pink fibrous mixed brain tissue, covered with twisting tentacles, throbbing and overflowing like embers, emitting visible psychic power flames. Compared to those main brains that are only large in size, the Nether Brain is so huge that it has an extra-large size, and in the game it even allows a young red dragon to move on its body.

Leon looked up at Naesinao and frowned slightly.

He also suddenly remembered that in the game, players have never relied on their own strength to defeat the Netherese Brain. There are two ways to defeat the Netherese Brain. One is to rely on the explosion of the Netheril Destruction Orb in Gale's body to kill both parties, and the other is to use Karthus's compulsion to control the Netherese Brain and order it to commit suicide.

The performance of Nasir Brain in the game is that it defeated three young red dragons surrounding it with just one mental shock wave.

Even the legendary wizard Elminster had to admit that it was very difficult for him to deal with the Nether Brain. The Nether Brain could potentially threaten the multiverse. Of course, that was after it established the Mind Flayer Empire.

"Do you think you know why you are here?" The telepathic voice of the Nether Brain echoed in everyone's mind, and that voice was like the sound of thousands of voices. "Do you think that returning power to me can atone for your sins? Son of Bhaal, you also want to destroy me with the Nether Stone."

"You are wrong." Naishe Nao raised his tentacles.

Xie Nian suddenly felt dizzy, and the powerful psychic energy dragged him into an illusion. He seemed to be in a void, and in front of him was a huge head of a mind flayer as big as a mountain, with an octopus-like face wriggling with twisted and stretched tentacles, each of which exuded a disgusting mucus luster.

"It's messing with your brain. Don't listen to it, use the gem quickly." The voice of the Mind Flayer Lord penetrated the illusion. The evil thoughts bit the tip of his tongue, and the bloody taste instantly sobered him up. He concentrated all his attention, raised the Nether Stone and forced the Nether Brain to surrender. The red beam shot out from the Nether Stone and hit the Nether Brain, like a beam of light shooting into the endless darkness.

"You have only freed me from my bonds by destroying Keseric, Orin, and Gortash." The mental induction of the Nether Brain made people's scalp tingle. "Now I am the controller of Karsus's crown - and it belongs to me alone."

"Don't listen to it! Focus on the crown!" the Mind Flayer Lord reminded anxiously.

Xie Nian did not speak, his pupils constricted, staring at the Naishe Brain intently, fixing it in his vision, and raised the Naishe Stone again. Another red light shot out from the Naishe Stone and hit the Naishe Brain, like a small stone falling into the dark sea, without even a ripple.

The Nether Brain began to reveal the truth. As the evil thoughts were damaged, it broke free from the control of the Crown of Karsus and was never controlled again. The three Nether Stones were able to control it because it was willing to be controlled. The Crown of Karsus was not its weakness, but rather made it what it is. Everything was manipulated by it in secret.

"I won't allow it. Come again! Control it." The Mind Flayer Lord was unwilling to accept defeat.

Xie Nian straightened his chest, the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest. His resilience was unshakable. He cast the spell once more, but unfortunately it was still in vain.

"When the parasites burrowed into your barren brain, you became a pawn in my blueprint." The crown of Karsus on Nether's head flashed with a strange light. "Who do you think the Chosen heard about the Astral Prism from?"

Every telepathy and every word from Naise's brain was like a heavy hammer hitting the evil thoughts' heart. Naise's brain was putting pressure on the evil thoughts and carefully weaving a psychological offensive, hoping to break down the evil thoughts' psychological defenses by using this method.

"Damn it - no!" Kalak jumped out, "Everything has led to this step - we must stop the Mastermind. Now!"

The evil thought was not so easy to succumb. It gathered all its magic power and several red lights flew out to hit Naise's brain. However, the huge monster did not move at all. Instead, the evil thought fell to the ground first.

"Is that really the extent?" The mental shock wave in Naise's brain suddenly erupted, and all the people present except Leon were blown away.

"We must retreat now and find a way to leave." The Mind Flayer Lord struggled to get up, ready to take everyone away. He wanted to leave first and then find a way to deal with the Nasir Brain, but suddenly he found that Leon was still standing there.

"Who are you?" Naise's attention had always been focused on Xie Nian, and now he finally noticed Leon standing in the corner.

Lyon found that everyone's eyes were focused on him. He could only shrug helplessly and walk forward slowly. As he walked, his body began to twist and expand - scales emerged from under the skin, and the bones made a crisp sound that made people's teeth ache... There was no way he could face Nether Brain in human form, so he had to use dragon form.

"Red dragon?!" Seeing the super giant red dragon, Naishe's huge brain tissue shrank slightly.

"He, he is a red dragon?" Gale said in disbelief, "A red dragon has been among us?"

"The ancient red dragon, he is the ancient red dragon!" Laetzel said excitedly. As a Githyanki, she trusts red dragons. "We are saved."

To ordinary people, unless there are some obvious features, such as one eye, a huge scar or an extra horn, all red dragons probably look the same. Unless Leon takes out his sword or shows his three heads and six arms, no one can easily recognize his true identity.

"How could he be a red dragon?" Shadowheart muttered, "I saw him ordering and paying for food in the tavern with my own eyes."

"Leon, Leon, Leon..." Will muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes widened. "Yes, he always said his name was Leon."

Just as everyone was shocked, Nether Dragon had already launched an attack. After all, red dragons would serve in the Githyanki army to hunt mind flayers, and the two sides could be said to have a deep hatred.

An ordinary elder brain is nothing in front of an ancient red dragon, but it is a Nether brain.

"You can't interfere with the grand blueprint." Without hesitation, Naishe used his powerful psychic power to try to penetrate the red dragon's mind. As soon as the mental tentacles stretched out, they encountered a blazing flame.

Because the Samadhi True Fire can not only work externally, but also internally, it can cure diseases, subdue demons, and the fire will bring coolness and nothingness. Before the Samadhi True Fire burns out, Leon is almost immune to any control other than physical. It can be said that his intelligence, perception, and charm exemptions are maxed out.

As Leon suddenly opened his eyes wide and his chest felt hot and shiny, the mental tentacles that the Naishe Brain extended immediately retracted like a hand touching fire.

"You are the biggest main brain I have ever seen." Leon laughed, "I can eat enough roasted brain for several meals."

"You are also the most powerful red dragon I have ever seen." The Naishe Brain no longer tried to control Leon. It raised its tentacles and shot a thin green beam of light at Leon. It was a dissociation technique that had been upgraded.

Leon had activated his indestructible body. The dissociation spell hit the scales, but only stirred up a puff of green smoke. He said, "Years ago, decades ago, I foresaw this day... You think you control everything. Is it possible that your appearance and death are just a game?"

"You don't think you can shake my mind." Nasir Nao waved out its tentacles. In addition to psychic power, its tentacles are equally powerful. This blow was enough to shatter the city wall, but when it hit Leon, Leon didn't even tremble.

"I won't expect words to shake your mind." Leon grinned, revealing his sharp teeth. Of course, he would not let the Nether Brain attack him, releasing a ferocious monster and roaring to the ground. The entire lake of the Shaper Secret Tan was shaking and waves were rising. "So is it my turn now? I will tear you into pieces."

The Naishe brain felt frightened. It shook and squirmed and flew up, trying to get away from the red dragon.

The Mind Flayer Lord looked at the portal he had opened, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Want to run?" Leon sneered and spread his wings. This was the decisive battle, and if he didn't take action now, he would have no chance.
