The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 136 Peculiar Tactics

Inside the colorful hollow sphere.

The Perfect Mind Flayer hovered in the air, scrutinizing the flowing rainbow light walls on all sides with an indifferent gaze that seemed to be based on absolute rationality.

"Link the mainframe's database and retrieve the relevant spell information..."

"Rainbow Light Magic Wall (Orb Form)..."

"Data shows that each layer of color in the magic wall represents a magical effect..."

"...fire, ice, lightning, poison, dimension, petrification..."

"How could this spell have already been invented in this era?"

The Perfect Mind Flayer used its privileges to connect to the mainframe's Hive database, instantly identifying the spell and determining the corresponding breakthrough method:
"If I were to directly pass through this layer of rainbow light, I would be attacked by seven layers of magic at the same time, which would be somewhat risky for me."

"But as long as I don't actively try to pass through these seven rainbow walls with my own body, they are meaningless!"

"Data shows that the caster cannot actively move this barrier, nor can they use this rainbow barrier to attack me."

Because this rainbow wall simultaneously blocked both internal and external teleportation, the Perfect Mind Flayer chose an alternative solution—

The purplish-red Mind Flayer slightly raised its head, clasped its hands together in front of its chest, and a faint light emanated from its hands.

—[Stellar Structure]!
He would draw upon the matter of the astral plane to create a hard sphere that would envelop him, and then use his [Telekinetic Throw] ability to throw the sphere that envelops him, thus safely passing through the seven rainbow walls.

However, just before the perfect mind flayer's psionic creation was completed, suddenly, a huge golden figure rushed down from below and passed directly through the Rainbow Wall.

It was Helen.

Helen transformed into a giant dragon!
The enormous golden dragon's body easily passed through the seven-colored wall.

Seven colors of light—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—caressed across the golden dragon's scales like warm water, causing no harm whatsoever.

—【Rainbow Light Law Wall】—Distinguish between friend and foe!

This wall will follow the parameters set by the spellcaster when casting the spell, treating some creatures as "allies" and not harming them!

The enormous golden dragon seized the Perfect Mind Flayer, who was still caught off guard, and flew straight upwards, passing through the wall of seven-colored light, with the creature, much smaller than itself, in its mouth.

Sizzle, sizzle.

In an instant, the body of the Perfect Mind-Stealing Demon passed through the seven layers of magic walls.

Fiery red light, frigid blue light, poisonous green light, lightning yellow light... a series of magical effects were instantly applied to the legendary Mind Flayer's purplish-red, rubbery body.

"what!"

The Perfect Mind Flayer let out a scream as marks of seven layers of light burned its skin.

Even legendary powerhouses will suffer some damage if they are directly attacked by top-tier ninth-ring spells.

What's more, Mind Flayers rely on psychic abilities to win, while their physical strength is relatively weak!
"How dare you... hurt me!"

For the first time, a fluctuation called "emotion" appeared on the cold and ruthless face of the Perfect Mind Flayer.

This legendary Mind Flayer is about to gather its spiritual energy, preparing to completely kill the human mage who has transformed into a golden dragon.

However, the next second, the inhuman monster's gaze froze—

What Jinlong Helen was doing surprised even the Perfect Mind Thief.

"The tactics are effective!"

"continue!"

After bursting out of the seven-colored light with the Perfect Mind Flayer in her mouth, Helen, who had transformed into a golden dragon, did not continue flying forward, but suddenly turned around.

Then, carrying the Perfect Mind Flayer in its mouth, it charged at him again.

The colorful wall behind!
"Oh no, she's going to subject me to the scorching heat of the seven rainbow lights again." The Perfect Mind Flayer immediately realized the impending danger. Golden Dragon Helen flapped her wings and rushed forward at high speed, about to send the Perfect Mind Flayer back into the seven-colored light wall, her eyes filled with excitement and resolute determination.

This is her and Card's only chance to cripple their legendary enemy—

Utilize the [Rainbow Light Wall]'s ability to distinguish friend from foe, repeatedly pushing and pulling enemies into the wall. Transform this rainbow light wall, which normally only divides the battlefield and cannot directly harm enemies, into a deadly weapon.

Within half a second of the golden dragon turning around, the Perfect Mind Flayer, having discerned the enemy's tactics, gathered spiritual power, its eyes and mouth radiating brilliant light as it released immense psychic energy.

From all sides of the Mind Flayer City, boulders and houses were uprooted and accelerated to an incredibly terrifying speed in an instant, like cannonballs fired simultaneously, all aimed at the massive body of the adult golden dragon.

—【Telekinetic Throw】(Psychic Ability)!
"Oops."

"Lady Helen!"

"If a golden dragon were hit by these boulders and houses, it would die, wouldn't it?"

Upon seeing this, many high-ranking human mages' expressions changed drastically, and similar thoughts arose in their minds.

However, they were tied down by hundreds of mind flayers and couldn't spare any time to rescue Helen.

Witnessing the boulders and houses being accelerated to their limit by telekinesis and attacking from all directions, the Golden Dragon Helen did not hesitate at all, nor did she spit out the Perfect Mind Flayer from her mouth, but instead defended or dodged.

She closed her eyes.

With a powerful flap of its wings and a burst of acceleration, it charged towards the rainbow orb of light ahead, carrying the Mind Flayer in its beak, its face resolute and determined.

"guard!"

However, at that moment, Kad finally finished chanting the next spell.

An invisible protective energy enveloped Jinlong Helen's entire body, like an indestructible shield.

—【Arcane Protection】(A unique magical trait of Protection Mages)!

This is a unique protective force field possessed by defensive mages, and it is the source of their superior survivability compared to other mages.

Now, this protective force field has been entirely shared with Helen.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Houses and boulders came from different directions, crashing onto the golden dragon's massive body, its wings, belly, ribs, and tail.

The transparent protective energy absorbed most of the impact force.

The hard dragon scales and the dragon's resilient physique withstood the remaining impact.

puff.

Helen felt a sweet, metallic taste in her mouth as hot blood rushed into her oral cavity.

Even with the protection of the force field and the dragon's tough body, the terrifying blow still damaged her internal organs.

thump.

Kade, who was providing protection from a distance, suddenly turned pale, his legs could no longer support him, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing violently.

With just one strike, both ninth-ring grand mages were severely injured!

However, their efforts were not in vain.

Covered in blood and carrying the Perfect Mind Flayer in its mouth, the golden dragon once again traversed the sphere composed of seven-colored rainbow light.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Sizzle, sizzle.

This time, the Mind Flayer passed through the Rainbow Wall twice (once in and once out), enduring the burning of 14 layers of rainbow light.
