Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

"Defend!" tide hissed.

The pale blue water waves tried their best to form a mental filtering barrier, but it was instantly shattered and riddled with holes, and blood seeped from all seven orifices at the same time.

Legolas planted the longbow in the ground and placed his hands on the bow.

The vibrant power of nature emanates from him, forming a tiny "pure land" that struggles against spiritual pollution.

But his face turned ashen at a visible speed.

Hector was the most valiant.

Or rather, the Death Sorcery of the Withering Council possesses a certain degree of "homogeneous" resistance to this kind of abyssal mental attack.

He roared, and the deathly aura around him transformed into a huge skeleton phantom, enveloping him.

Ghostly flames blazed in the skull's eye sockets, devouring the chaotic spiritual power that was attacking it, but the skull phantom was also trembling violently, with cracks constantly appearing.

Ian was under the most pressure because the monster's main attention seemed to be focused on him, the human who could "devour" its power.

More than 50% of the mental torrent and tentacle attacks surged towards him!

"I'm not hiding anymore, I'm going to help you! Gaa!" Gaa screamed and was about to emerge from the shadows.

"Wait, you're my trump card, don't reveal it yet."

He first erected the [Ring of Layered Peaks], the first two layers of shields shattered instantly, and the third layer barely held on after a violent tremor.

He pretended to stagger backward, but secretly channeled the impact into the [Spirit Devouring] vortex to neutralize it.

Seeing the critical situation, Ian's eyes sharpened like knives, revealing his true colors!

The Crystal Energy Barrier was activated to its maximum, and the three layers of Floating Crystal Guardians firmly protected him.

The dark red [Spirit Devouring] patterns on the surface flowed wildly, like a black hole devouring the approaching mental pollution.

However, this devouring has its limits. The excessively complex and chaotic mental torrent caused the [Spirit Devouring] rune to emit an unbearable hum.

He unleashed both hands simultaneously, his left hand icy blue and his right hand bright white, the [Frost Ray] no longer concealed.

The destructive beam of the ice and fire spiral was unleashed!

Wherever it passed, its tentacles crumbled and vanished, and even on that enormous mountain of eyeballs, it blasted open a huge, charred, and frozen wound!

"Aww!"

The monster let out a silent, soul-piercing shriek!

More eyes were fixed on Ian, and the mental attacks became more focused and vicious.

It even includes bizarre methods such as soul-searching interrogation and memory fragment impact.

At the same time, dozens of exceptionally thick tentacles, with their tips split into sucker-like mouthparts, came swooping down like a giant python.

The suction cups are filled with sharp teeth, emanating a chilling aura that seems to devour souls.

The battle instantly reached its climax!

Upon seeing this, Hector's eyes flashed with ruthlessness and greed.

He witnessed the terrifying power of Ian's ice and fire spiral beam, and also saw the painful reaction of the monsters after being hit.

"Join forces! Attack its largest, dark gold eyeball in the center! That's its core, and possibly the location of the [Eye of the Gaze]!"

He roared, waving his bone staff as beams of concentrated black light from the "Death Finger" technique, combined with Ian's rays, shot towards the monster.

Legolas and Shio gritted their teeth and fought desperately.

Instead of trying to maintain a defense, the elf channeled its remaining natural power into the arrows, and one after another, emerald green arrows, accompanied by a clear, piercing sound, shot towards the gaps in the monster's eyes.

Xi abandoned reconnaissance and condensed the water waves into a sharp, rotating storm of water blades, cutting through the approaching tentacles to create space for Ian and Hector to attack.

The four of them worked together and managed to temporarily withstand the monster's onslaught, even leaving many wounds on its mountain of flesh.

But the monsters were too strong!

Even though it has been severely injured and dormant ever since, its essence and remaining power have only barely fallen below the level of a second-level wizard.

Its attacks are endless, its mental pollution is pervasive, and its tendrils regenerate at an astonishing rate.

Even more terrifying is its extremely cunning fighting instinct, which quickly discovers that elves and sea creatures are its weaknesses.

A premeditated mental spike, mixed with several disguised tentacles, suddenly broke through Legolas and Shio's already crumbling defenses in an instant!

"Pfft! Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!" Legolas was pierced through the chest by a tentacle, though he managed to avoid a fatal blow.

But the mental toxins and devouring power on the tentacle instantly severely injured him, causing his natural energy to rapidly dissipate, and another tentacle coiled towards his neck!

tide's water blade storm was forcibly dispersed by an even stronger mental shock.

Several tentacles seized the opportunity to wrap around his legs and arms, and the sucker mouth bit down hard, causing him to scream in agony from the intense pain and the feeling of his soul being ripped away.

"Watch out!" Hector exclaimed.

However, instead of providing immediate assistance, a glint of something else flickered in his eyes, as if he were weighing his options.

Ian frowned, and the Frost Ray changed direction, sweeping towards the tentacles that were binding the elves and sea creatures, severing most of them.

In that moment of distraction, the monster's main attack fell on Ian again, with several condensed, almost tangible, colored mental rays slamming into his shield!

boom!

All shields shattered instantly!

Ian groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

The Soul Devourer activated frantically, barely managing to mitigate some of the impact.

Legolas and tide were able to catch their breath, but they were already at their last gasp.

Ian groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Legolas and tide were able to catch their breath, but they were already at their last gasp.

The two looked at each other and saw the resolute determination in each other's eyes.

"Go!" Legolas hissed, tearing off a bright green leaf-shaped pendant from his neck and crushing it.

A powerful yet gentle force of nature erupted, temporarily dispelling the surrounding pollution and tendrils, forming a brief passage.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, and his aura plummeted, but with the help of this power, he transformed into a streak of green light and rushed toward the sealed cave entrance above.

He drew his longbow repeatedly, firing several weak arrows in an attempt to create a breach in the tree root barrier.

tide gritted her teeth, took out a deep blue conch shell from her bosom, put it to her lips and blew hard!

There was no sound, but a strange vibration spread out, and the surrounding space seemed to turn into water. His body became blurred and liquefied, and "flowed" upwards along the cracks in the cave wall in a way that defied common sense.

This is the Sea Clan's life-saving crippling technique, [Tide Escape], but the price is at least a drop in one minor realm, and the inability to recover for three years.

tide took out a seashell-shaped witch tool from her bosom again, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Legolas, I'll use 'Tidal Spell' to take you away!"

Legolas shook his head: "Together!"

He then took out another jade leaf, bit his fingertip, and dripped blood onto it.

The two activated the magical artifacts almost simultaneously.

The seashell burst open, turning into a thick mist that enveloped tide.

The emerald leaves burned, and a verdant light enveloped Legolas.

"Walk!"

Water mist and green light shot into the sky, ignoring the blockade at the top of the cave and forcefully breaking open a passage.

The two tentacles gave chase at high speed, but were shattered by the violent energy contained within the water mist and green light the moment they came into contact with them.

In the blink of an eye, their presence vanished into the cave.

Relying on their most treasured, one-time-use witchcraft tools and crippling techniques, the two, severely injured, fled this terrifying den of demons in a sorry state.

Inside the cave, only Ian, Hector, and the enraged Thousand-Eyed Soul Reaper remained.

At that moment, however, Hector's eyes burned with a fierce fire of greed.

His gaze was fixed on the golden light that occasionally flashed between attacks on the monster.

It was a dark golden eyeball, with what appeared to be a swirling galaxy inside.

The Gaze of the Visionary!

For wizards like the Withering Council who delve into death and souls, these eyes containing the essence of pure spiritual power are priceless treasures!

It can greatly enhance soul strength, assist in breakthroughs, and even forge powerful soul artifacts!

Hector wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Ian, his eyes filled with a mixture of greed and murderous intent.

"Kid, now it's just the two of us left."

Ian looked at him calmly: "So?"

"Let's join forces and kill this monster."

Hector licked his lips. "[The Gaze]... We'll each rely on our own abilities."

"Okay." Ian nodded.

The two turned to the Thousand-Eyed Soul-Stealing Demon at the same time.
