Chapter 142 The City of Mind-Stealing Demons Amidst a Sea of ​​Fire

Meanwhile, in the Mind Flayer City below the cliff.

The wounded Archmage Helen and Archmage Kad have rejoined the battle.

Kad restored Helen's Mind Barrier, which had been broken, allowing her to ignore the core abilities of ordinary Mind Flayers.

Helen, now a fully grown golden dragon, spread her wings and soared above the Mind Flayer city, spewing flames downwards, turning the entire city into a sea of ​​fire and incinerating mind flayers one after another into charred remains.

The soul-shaking power of the Dragon was also unleashed, causing the many Mind Flayers, whose minds were already extremely weary, to tremble and dare not approach.

When the mind flayers realized that their signature "mind-affecting" abilities were ineffective against the terrifying dragon, they turned to other psionic powers—

They could unleash [Telekinetic Throw] to hurl rocks and heavy objects, or release [Energy Missiles] to attack the dragon; however, these dense attacks were all blocked by the tough dragon scales and failed to produce any significant effect.

During the resistance, even more Mind Flayers perished in the flames.

This is the advantage that a fully grown dragon has over an army!

When faced with a large number of targets, the dragon will display a terrifying advantage.

This once-prosperous Mind Flayer underground city is now burning in flames, the crimson light illuminating the stone walls of this vast underground cavity.

But something else is happening that is making the mind flayers even more desperate—

"Ugh, my head hurts so much."

"What just happened? Why did I suddenly faint?"

In the center of the square, the dozen or so high-level elven professionals who had been stunned by the mind-shaking attack of the Perfect Mind Flayer were gradually waking up.

They had already cast spells to protect their minds beforehand, and after being stunned into unconsciousness by the powerful spiritual force for a period of time, they gradually regained their senses.

"His head looks like it's about to split open..."

"Never mind, the battle isn't over yet. Let's get back into the fight and kill those octopus heads!"

"When we were unconscious, someone must have protected us and held on until we woke up. We can't let them down!"

"What? You mean, just now, it was those two human archmages who protected us?"

One by one, the elven envoys awoke and rushed toward the battlefield, which had become a sea of ​​fire.

With this group of high-ranking elven professionals joining the battle, the fight between humans and elves over the Mind Flayer city finally turned into a one-sided crushing and massacre.

Mind Flayer screamed in agony amidst the flames, his heart pierced by a sharp arrow, his head severed by a razor-sharp sword, and his body turned to stone by a curse. He bled from all seven orifices and died screaming in agony within the corpse-green [Death Cloud] spell.

These races, who consider themselves to be a superior civilization, are being slaughtered by the inferior creatures they despise.

Within the hive-like consciousness psionic network constructed by the mastermind.

Pain, fear, despair, and other emotions are spreading, permeating every mind-stealer connected to the hive consciousness.

"Help!"

"We will all die."

"Who will stop them? All those high-level elven professionals have awakened."

"It's so hot, so hot! Someone please put out the fire on my body! My spiritual energy is completely depleted..."

"..."

In the air, the perfect mind flayer who was fiercely battling Princess Leah, as an important node in the Hive's consciousness network, also heard every cry of anguish and felt the despair of every mind flayer below.

These overwhelming negative emotions are severely interfering with his ability to manifest his psychic powers normally!

The Hive network of consciousness that the Mind Flayers were so proud of revealed terrible side effects when the city fell.

This legendary mind flayer, now a deep purple-red, could no longer maintain his previous indifferent and calm expression; his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Oops."

"If this continues, all the Mind Flayers in the city will be wiped out."

"I have to do something!" The Perfect Mind Flayer had no choice but to turn around and look at the city behind him, which had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and unleash a full-force psionic attack.

A massive, shimmering wall appeared out of thin air, splitting the entire city in two and halting the attacking humans and elves.

"Octopus head, you're distracted!"

As a combat prodigy, Leah seized this brief opening, extended her right hand towards the perfect mind flayer, and instantly unleashed a legendary spell.

Even for Leah, she can only use legendary spells three times a day.

At the start of the battle, Leah had already used two legendary spells to help her control the rhythm of the battle and suppress her opponent.

And what she is casting now is her last and only legendary spell!
— [Annihilation Singularity]!
There was no crackling lightning, no crimson flames, no storms or frost.

This legendary spell has no noteworthy visual effects.

pitch black.

The dense, dark blackness appeared for only a moment before engulfing the Mind Flayer in front of it.

"Where is this..."

Just because he revealed a flaw for less than a second, the Perfect Mind Flayer found himself swallowed by darkness, seemingly teleported to another demiplane.

This demiplane has no light, no matter, and nothing noteworthy.

Click.

Click, click, click, click...

The moment he was teleported to this unknown demiplane, a crisp sound of space shattering came from all directions, reaching the ears of the Perfect Mind Flayer.

"Is this demiplane collapsing and being destroyed?"

"In that case, I, who am in this demiplane, will also be annihilated!"

"We must teleport away from here immediately."

The eyes of the Perfect Mind Flayer shone with dazzling light, as it sought to break through the spatial constraints and escape before being completely destroyed.

However, he had been too badly injured in the previous battle and was already at his last gasp...

In the next instant, the empty demiplane space, along with the perfect mind flayer imprisoned within it, was annihilated, turning into nothingness.

"Finally...resolved?"

Leah breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body and mind finally relaxing. She managed to land back on the ground, in the heart of the Mind Flayer city, which was ablaze with flames.

Ahead of her, the mind flayers were being pushed back by the fierce attacks of humans and elves.

Victory is only a matter of time.

"I wonder how the battle is going in Elf on the cliff?"

Leah turned her head and looked up at the cliff where the three legends were besieging the main brain dragon.

There, the bright and intense psychic light was so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes, as if a sun was rising slowly above the cliff.

"What... exactly happened there?"

…………

Above the cliff.

The battle between the legendary humans and elves Elian, Seymour Moon Whisper, and Elf Sunburst, and the Emerald Dragon, continues.

Whirring whirring.

Emerald, the Green Dragon Lord, murmured to Seymour Moon in front of him and spat out a strange substance.

—【Dragon's Breath】!
