The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 130 The Underground City of Mind-Stealing Demons

"Your Highness Elf, Your Highness Seymour, the three of us legends are besieging the Emerald Dragon."

"The rest of the team immediately rushed down the cliff behind the green dragon to deal with the masterminds who were hiding in the shadows and refused to show themselves."

“Find out those hiding behind the curtain, so they have no chance to gather their strength!”

Within a second, El-Erian made a division of labor within the team.

For a giant dragon, sheer numbers are of little significance.

The dragon's sturdy scales and strong resistance to magic are enough to ignore weaker opponents with vastly different strengths; and its terrifying dragon breath and dragon might are powerful weapons of mass destruction.

Therefore, Elion chose to send three of his legendary warriors to fight against the Emerald Dragon, which had merged with the mainframe.

Meanwhile, the larger number of high-level professionals are responsible for finding "those monsters" below the cliff and interrupting their [Superpower Resonance] as they gather power.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Prince Elf cried out in his heart.

"All elves, act according to the command of the King of Men," Seymour immediately ordered.

The moment the command resonated in everyone's hearts, more than 50 humans and elves sprang into action.

The 30-plus elven envoys and 20-plus human mages transformed into streaks of light, rushing from all directions in an attempt to bypass the Green Dragon Emerald and attack the cliff behind him.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing the crowd rushing toward the cliff behind him, Emerald Green Dragon's expression changed drastically.

"Has the great master's scheme been exposed once again?"

"what on earth is it?"

"The power used by our great master is from outside this world. It should be something that the inferior races of this continent have never seen before."

"How could I be exposed time and time again?"

As his thoughts raced, the green dragon emerald felt a surge of anger, opened its mouth, and was about to unleash its breath.

However, Seymour and others did not give him that opportunity.

Having already cast the [Advanced Acceleration] spell on himself, the moon elf Seymour flashed into the air and appeared before the green dragon Emerald in a cloud of mist, his longsword, shimmering with moonlight, unsheathed.

The Sword Singer lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body moving nimbly as if performing an elegant dance, his sharp blade slicing through the air as if playing a melodious song.

Sword Song Magic!

Just as Seymour launched his surprise attack on the Emerald Dragon, the Sun Elf Prince Elf once again drew his bow and fired arrows, each imbued with fire, ice, or lightning.

While they may not be as versatile as spellcasters, when it comes to single-target damage output, warriors are second to none!
Elion also pointed his finger forward, releasing a spell of unknown effect.

The three of them joined forces, forcing the mainframe dragon Emerald to focus on defense and erect a psionic barrier.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of human and elven warriors bypassed the dragon at an astonishing speed and rushed down the cliff.

As they flew past Princess Lia, one of the elven mages waved his hand and cast a "shrinking spell" on the temporarily incapacitated sun elf princess, reducing her to the size of a doll and temporarily placing her in his pocket.

"Your Highness, you've been wronged. Please rest for a while."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will protect you."

Surprisingly, Emerald, the Green Dragon Lord, did not deliberately stop the group from rescuing Princess Leah.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. One after another, figures rushed into the shadows below the cliff.

clap clap.

Beams of light dispelled the darkness underground.

Finally, everything below the cliff was exposed to more than 50 humans and elves.

In the next instant, almost every human and elf stared wide-eyed, their gazes frozen in astonishment:
"This...is this?"

"A city?"

"A deformed city built by monsters!"

What appeared before the many humans and elves was a bizarre city—

Pale purple or yellow biomass walls stand tall, and translucent fleshy membranes form strangely shaped circular structures, while green glass vessels containing living brains bubble and pop.

Slave camps, research labs, storage rooms, sleeping pods, central plaza, brain bank, modification workshops...

In the square and on the streets, hundreds of mind flayers with octopus heads, arms outstretched and chins slightly raised, were gathering their psychic powers.

Or perhaps they are preparing to transfer psionic energy to the mainframe dragon Emerald;
Or perhaps they are transmitting psychic abilities to a distant slave army, influencing the battlefield in southern Eldoron.

At this moment, seeing the numerous humans and elves descending from the sky, and the Mind Flayers looking up at them, a slight resentment appeared on their faces.

In the end, was it exposed?
A mysterious wild elf boy, the ancient dragon Emerald, wyverns and half-dragons, and an army composed of various monster slaves...

These schemers hide behind one veil after another.

Use various proxies to represent you.

The only time they sacrificed themselves was when they sent one of their members as bait to be captured by the Sun Elf princess in exchange for more important information.

Even though the emerald revealed the true form of the "Mastermind Dragon," outsiders would only assume that the green dragon had undergone bio-alchemy modifications and would not doubt that the enormous brain was from a new species from another universe.

However, at this moment, the Mind Flayer City, which had been hidden in the shadows, was completely exposed to everyone!
"What kind of creatures are these hundreds of disgusting octopus heads?" an elf shuddered.

Princess Lia, now the size of a palm and nestled in the elven envoy's pocket, peeked out and stared at the scene below, almost speechless with astonishment:
"Octopus head?"

"The monsters that have been plotting against us are actually these octopus heads?"

Leah quickly shared the information with everyone:

“These octopus heads are magical creatures I’ve studied before. I’ve captured one once.”

“Each of them possesses magical power comparable to a fifth-ring spellcaster. However, the spells they use are very strange; I've never seen them before.”

"In addition, as non-human alien creatures, these octopus heads have certain melee combat abilities and can use their tentacles to grab enemies."

"Their most troublesome ability is the [Mind Blast], which covers a 20-meter cone in front of them and can intimidate all enemies within the area for a period of time..."

Princess Lia quickly shared the known battle information, then sighed:
"When I caught one of the octopus heads, I didn't think much of it. Little did I know, these octopus heads were the ones who were plotting against us!"

Halfway through her speech, a terrifying thought exploded in Leah's weary mind:

Could it be that when I captured that octopus head, I was already being watched by the entire Octopus Head City?
Have these monsters been plotting for so long?

Their target is me, and even the entire Elven Royal Court.
