Arad's Sword

Chapter 315 Newborn Mind Flayer

He turned into a mind flayer?

Midi couldn't accept it for a while, why the trial of becoming a mind catcher turned into a mind flayer.

However, since I can't figure it out, the only way is to accept it first.

After all, it was just an illusion, not a real mind flayer.

After her mentality stabilized, Midi immediately began to try to understand the surrounding environment.

The town where the final trial is located is a settlement of mind flayers, and the surrounding environment is not Xingyang, but the real hometown of mind flayers - the Underdark.The real Underdark is located in the depths of the continent of Arad. It is extremely vast, and some areas are even connected to the Demon Realm. However, in the illusion, of course, it is impossible to make it that large. It only includes the settlement of the mind flayer and the surrounding area. .

After initially mastering the ability of telepathy, Midi began to move around in the settlement.

In this settlement, the number of mind flayers is about [-], and the rest are dark elves, gray dwarves, subterranean gnomes and other races of the Underdark controlled by psychic powers. The number is about [-].

The total population of the settlement is about one thousand.

And the mind flayer possessed by Midi is one of the high-level leaders in the settlement, the warlord of the mind flayer council, second only to the "elders" and "sages", and he has mind flayers and magicians in his hands. Movement rights of servant armies.

In other words, it is the role of "general".

For this status, Midi, who is a genius commander, is naturally very satisfied.However, the human command method may not be effective in the world of mind flayers. He just arrived in this illusion, and it seems that there is no special task, just to prolong the survival time, so the first thing he did was, It is further familiarity.

Not only was he familiar with the structure of the mind flayer organization, but he also had to thoroughly grasp the body he possessed.

As a medium-height humanoid creature, there is not much difference between mind flayers and humans. The most important thing is that there are two differences——

One is that there are four extra tentacles on the mind flayer's octopus-shaped head.

In the previous life, Midi had seen some powerful mind flayers, who could cast psychic powers and magic at the same time, and the four tentacles next to the mouthparts could make gestures at the same time. The magic can be released at the same time, and the power is extremely powerful.

However, as a human being, Midi, a "newborn" mind flayer, had difficulty even lifting the tentacles next to his mouthparts at first.

It is quite difficult to master how to control these four tentacles.

Second, nature is the biggest signature of the mind flayer, the talent of psychic powers.

To use psychic powers, you need to use the energy of "spiritual power", just like using various professional skills, you need to use magic power as support.However, the induction of psychic power is much more difficult than magic power. Not only that, the triggering of various skills of psychic power itself is all in one thought. With a little distraction, it is possible to release all kinds of messy skills at will , and sometimes even lead to mental backlash.

In the first month of the trial, Midi spent most of his time just manipulating the tentacles next to his mouthparts, and the training of psychic powers caused a series of accidents.

If it were in reality, such an abnormal "overseer" would have already attracted attention and suspicion. After all, the IQ of mind flayers is much higher than that of ordinary humans.

However, this is a trial and an illusion. Midi's behavior, which is extremely unfamiliar with psychic powers, did not cause any trouble. He can play with his tentacles and use psychic powers to his heart's content.

A month later, Midi finally basically mastered these skills that are easy for real mind flayers.

Psychic sniper!

On Midi's octopus head, two silver lights flashed in a pair of pupilless white eyes. In an instant, the huge ground lizard on the opposite side was stabbed by the invisible psychic attack and died on the spot.

"Telepathy, Psychic Blast, Psychic Storm, and now Psychic Sniper." These basic offensive skills were finally mastered.

Midi sighed in satisfaction, then skillfully used the tentacles, raised a coffee cup, and sent warm coffee into the mouthparts.

Being a mind flayer, especially an upper-level mind flayer in the high ranks of the Warlord, is quite pleasant.

Midi couldn't help thinking this way.

But just after the first month, a series of wars came soon.

First, a group of dwarves covered in steel armor, then a large group of subterranean gnomes jumping up and down, and then dark elf assassins and gunmen. Wave after wave of enemies came from the area where the mind flayer settlement was located. Edge appeared, and the attack was launched.

As the warlord of mind flayers, Midi has great authority. Now that he is familiar with the organizational structure of mind flayers and servants, he is naturally able to command them with ease. For these enemies, he immediately punished them mercilessly. hit.

Not only that, as the commander, Midi went into battle in person, casting psychic powers wantonly, killing and wounding a large number of enemies.

The second month passed smoothly, and the invaders were wiped out in the wild by Midi without even seeing the mind flayer settlement.

The Mind Flayer Council praised Midi's achievements and gave a lot of resources as rewards.

In the third month, the enemy's offensive intensified significantly.

Not only the scattered enemies, but also a large number of well-trained enemy troops. They advanced cooperatively and tactically, making it difficult for Midi to find a flaw.

In order to be able to defeat the opponent with as little loss as possible, Midi began to practice psychic powers such as "mind control", "mind reading" and "mind distortion".In the end, the enemy was disintegrated from the inside without bloodshed.

Midi received more praise, and the elders expressed their kindness one after another. Of course, the resources for cultivation also increased.

In the fourth month, an enemy such as the "Allied Forces" appeared.

The gray dwarf paladin and the dark elf gunner, one long-range and one close-combat, and both are very familiar with the mind flayer's psionic powers, forming a terrifying tactical combination.

When seeing this coalition force, Midi felt stunned for a while.

You know, in the real world, Midi is very clear that the two races, the "grey dwarves" and "dark elves" can be regarded as deadly enemies, and it is impossible to cooperate, let alone form an army.But this is an illusion, where everything is possible, and as a commander, Midi had to admit that the combination of the gray dwarf's melee class and the dark elf's long-range class is indeed flawless and extremely powerful.

In addition to the powerful firepower, the most troublesome thing is that there are a large number of "exorcist" professions among the dark elves. Once an object controlled by Midi's mind is found, these exorcists will immediately use their purification skills , Lift mind control.

In this way, if Midi wants to repeat the old trick, it becomes extremely difficult to split the enemy from the inside.

Not only did he have to use all kinds of mind control and distortion skills, but he also had to carefully control and hide the movements of the puppets after using them, so as to avoid the detection of the exorcist.

Finally, with a lot of effort, Midi finally disintegrated the coalition forces, causing the gray dwarves and dark elves to become suspicious and attack each other.And at this time, he personally led the army of mind flayers to appear at the most critical moment, and wiped out the divided enemy army in one fell swoop.

After the victory in this battle, Midi's control over psychic powers has reached a peak state, and in the settlement of mind flayers, even the most lofty elders will show respect and humility after seeing Midi attitude.

In the midst of this impressive record, the fifth month has arrived.

This time there is no army.

Those who came to attack were elite guerrilla troops with less than ten people. They attacked from all directions, attacked the resource collection team of the mind flayer, and killed everyone. At one time, it was impossible for people in the mind flayer settlement to go out at all.

And most importantly, the captain of every guerrilla force is a memory catcher.

After discovering this, Midi couldn't help being completely speechless——

I obviously came to this trial to become a mind flayer, but in this illusion, I became possessed by the mind flayer and dealt with the mind flayer in order to defend the mind flayer's home .

What kind of trial is this?
Although his heart was full of confusion, Midi showed no mercy when attacking these guerrillas.

How can I put it this way, this is the settlement I worked so hard to protect, and the power I have developed, how can I just throw it away, even if the opponent is a mind catcher, I still have to fight, beat hard, beat to death !
Only by surviving can it represent the success of the trial and become a mind catcher in reality. As for what will happen in this illusion, Midi is too lazy to think about it.

However, in the face of the guerrilla tactics of the mind hunters, general conventional military strategies are difficult to work. The only way is to fight against generals, kings against kings, and elites against elites.

Midi selected a group of the most powerful mages from the mind flayer team, personally led the team, went deep into the wild illusion of the illusion, and fought with these mind catchers.

Before being crushed by psychic powers, Midi didn't feel anything, but at this moment, after meeting these mind catchers, the mind flayer possessed by Midi can basically be regarded as an ordinary elemental mage, and its attack power suddenly increased. Big discount.

At this moment, as the top ghost swordsman in Arad, Midi misses her twin swords, her flying skills, and her body dripping with dragon blood.

But complaints are nothing but complaints. The only way to defeat the mind catchers is to further master psychic powers.

In the evenly matched confrontations again and again, Midi's use of psychic powers gradually became more and more proficient, and finally reached the state of great success.

Not only that, he also became more and more aware of the methods and principles used by the mind catcher to resist psychic powers, and found many loopholes in it.

It wasn't until this moment that Midi finally understood the reason for the appearance of the Enemy Catcher in the trial——

It turns out that mind catchers are essentially the same as psykers.

These lucky ones who have endured and survived the powerful psychic power attack have awakened their own psionic power, but this kind of psionic power is different from that of the mind flayer. The psionic power of the mind flayer is mainly used for attack and control .However, the psychic power possessed by the mind-catcher is both offensive and defensive. Of course, as a price, on the offensive side, the power of the mind-catcher is very insufficient. Therefore, more understanding of the mind-catcher in the world always stays at On the level of "being able to defend against spiritual attacks".

In other words, mind-capturers are psychics, but the way they use their psychic power is different.

This difference cannot be reversed under normal circumstances, but if one can become the top mind-catcher, it is possible to make more mobilization of psionic energy, thus making a difference between the psychic and the mind-catcher. convert!
