Second World-Chapter 1767 Mind-dooming Gaze

?"Jack…!" Broidrireg called with worry.

He lunged at Azzarilth, attempting to free Jack, but Azzarilth dodged using shadow flash before following with a kick that stopped Broidrireg's advance. She then flew back.

Eoranth was rushing over, but a series of draconic roars took his attention. At the same time, Jack saw multiple red dots approaching on his radar.

Ten obsidian dragons from Azzarilth's brood were flying over. All of them were level 85 mythical grades. They opened their mouths and fired their breath attacks at Eoranth and Broidrireg. The breath attacks from these dragons couldn't deal meaningful damage to broidrireg and Eoranth but they still stopped the two.

"Playtime is over," Azzarilth told the two. "I've lost my mood because of this pesky outworlder. Now, it's time for the two of you to die, but before that…"

Azzarilth turned to Jack. Jack looked away. He still didn't want to stare at Azzarilth.

Jack had tried using his race skill, Willpower, to break Azzarilth's hold, but it didn't seem to do anything. He also tried casting Ghost Form. But for some reason, his spellcasting kept on getting canceled. Peniel told him in his mind that this was due to Azzarilth's talent, chaos disruption. The talent also affected enemies grabbed by Azzarilth. Such an enemy would be unable to cast spells because failure chances were applied constantly.

When Jack kept on refusing to look at her, Azzarilth tightened her grip. A damage number came out above Jack.

"I can kill you just by squeezing my hand. Look at me!!" Azzarilth demanded.

Her commanding yell and the helplessness of his situation caused Jack to look up. He was going to die anyway. He looked at her with a defying stare. When their eyes met, Jack felt as if he was not looking at a pair of eyes. What he saw instead was a mirror with the blackest surface that could somehow still reflect his image.

He found that everything around him was gone all of a sudden. He was alone with that black mirror. He looked around. Aside from that mirror, nothing was seen for as far as his eyes could see. It was just void.

He heard a chuckle. He turned back and saw his reflection in the mirror was smiling at him. "You are doomed!" his reflection exclaimed before it burst out of the black mirror.

Jack saw in slow motion the mirror shattered and his reflection lunged at him. Everything went dark afterward. He then felt the most intense pain he ever experienced. A pain that existed only in his mind. There was nothing he could do about it.

"No! Jack…!!!" Broidrireg called. He charged forward. His long body went in a spiral motion and slapped the obsidian dragons in his way. Eoranth charged with him.

Azzarilth, who was holding Jack, simply smiled at Broidrireg. She threw Jack in Broidrireg's direction. Broidrireg caught Jack in his hand. Jack didn't lose any HP, but he was motionless. His eyes had a hollow look.

"Damn you!" Broidrireg cursed. He knew after seeing Jack's condition. Jack had been hit by Azzarilth's Mind-dooming Gaze. The same one that incapacitated the archdemon lord earlier.

"Hahaha! That's what a weak being gets for interfering," Azzarilth laughed. She was dodging Eoranth's assaults. Eoranth had charged forward when Broidrireg caught Jack.

"What happened?" Peniel came out of her hidden dimension and used Fast Heal, hoping it could free Jack of whatever status affliction he was suffering.

Azzarilth frowned when she saw Peniel come out. A normal familiar shouldn't be able to appear after the Archmage lost consciousness. She knew then that Peniel wasn't a normal familiar. She regretted now to not just killing Jack. This meant Peniel could still heal Broidrireg and Eoranth.

She planned to rectify that. She cast the Chaos Bombs spell in Broidrireg's direction, but Broidrireg was ready. He cast Solitary Wind World. This was the spell that conjured a large wind sphere around him. The winds blew away anything that tried to hit Broidrireg. It was sort of a weak version of Master's Wind God Rage. The chaos bombs detonated but their explosions were unable to penetrate the wind sphere protecting Broidrireg.

After stopping the chaos bombs, Broidrireg flew away bringing Jack with him. Azzarilth wanted to chase but Eoranth stopped him, so she commanded the obsidian dragons to chase Broidrireg.

"What happened to him?" Peniel asked Broidrireg again.

"He was hit by Azzarilth's Mind-dooming Gaze," Broidrireg answered.

"Mind-dooming Gaze? Oh, no…," Peniel gasped. She knew the skill. It was a very powerful eye skill but could only be used on a target that was ten levels below the user. But if it hit, the target was doomed. There was a chance that Jack would never wake up again unless Azzarilth undid her skill or she was killed.

"Get off me!" Some of the obsidian dragons caught up and bit Broidrireg's body when he was distracted by Jack's condition. He shook his body to throw them off. He then cast Telekinesis which grabbed five of them and slammed them into the other five.

"She is chasing us," Peniel said.

Broidrireg glanced back. Azzarilth was harassed by Eoranth but it did look like she was trying to get to them. Broidrireg then caught sight of many of the obsidian dragons down there. These dragons started flying up in their direction. Azzarilth was calling her brood over to help her. If they arrived, Broidrieg and Eoranth wouldn't be able to deal with them with Azzarilth around.

But he then saw many combatants in the army, who could fly, also flew up. They engaged these dragons, preventing the dragons from leaving.

As Broidrireg witnessed that, a winged shadow came in high speed and slammed into one of the obsidian dragons circling him. The winged shadow was Arlcard under Dark Lord Incarnation. Broidrireg then noticed Therras, Spark, and Brave King were also nearby. They engaged the obsidian dragons with Arlcard. Behind them were three outworlders, Jeanny, Grace, and Paytowin. Jeanny and Grace were using wing tools. Paytowin was in his Brave Techno Suit.

"What's wrong with Jack?!" Grace came to Jack with concern on her face.

"He is under a spell," Broidrireg answered. He handed Jack to Grace. "Keep him safe," he said. He then headed to Azzarilth who was still tussling with Eoranth. If he wanted to save Jack, he had to kill that sister of his.
