Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon's Might-Chapter 445 - 437: Now I Am the Protagonist_2
Chapter 445: Chapter 437: Now I Am the Protagonist_2
The performance of the Neser Brain in the game crushed the young Red Dragon surrounding it with just one Mind Shock Wave.
Even the Legendary Mage Elminster had to admit that dealing with the Neser Brain was extremely tricky. The Neser Brain could potentially threaten the Multi-universe, but that would be after it established the Mind Flayer Empire.
"You think you know why you are here?" The telepathy of the Neser Brain echoed in everyone’s mind, the voice like a harmony of thousands, "You think handing back the power to me will redeem you? Child of Bhaal, and you even want to use the Nether Stone to destroy me."
"You are wrong." The Neser Brain raised its tentacles.
Evil Thought suddenly felt a dizziness, and the powerful psychic energy dragged him into the Illusion Realm. He seemed to be in a void space, before him was an Illithid head as massive as a mountain, its octopus-like face twisting and extending its tendrils, each emitting a nauseating slick luster.
"It’s messing with your mind. Don’t listen to it, quickly use the gem." The voice of the Mind Flayer Overlord pierced through the Illusion Realm.
Evil Thought bit the tip of his tongue, the taste of blood woke him instantly, he concentrated and held up the Nether Stone to force the Neser Brain to submit, a red beam shot from the Nether Stone and hit the Neser Brain like a light piercing into endless darkness.
"After eliminating Ceseric, Olin, and Gotaish, you only lifted my restraint." The Psyche Sensing of the Neser Brain made one’s scalp tingle, "Now I am the controller of the Karsus Crown — it’s mine alone."
"Don’t listen to it! Focus on the crown!" the Mind Flayer Overlord urgently reminded.
Evil Thought did not speak, his pupils narrowed, he fixedly stared at the Neser Brain, keeping it within his sight, raised the Nether Stone again, another red light shot from the Nether Stone hit the Neser Brain, like a pebble falling into the pitch-black sea, not even a ripple was stirred.
The Neser Brain began to reveal the truth. As Evil Thought was harmed, it broke free from the control of the Karsus Crown and was never controlled again. The three Nether Stones could control it because it was willing to be controlled, the Karsus Crown was not its weakness, on the contrary, it completed it, everything was secretly manipulated by it.
"I absolutely will not allow it. Once more! Control it." The Mind Flayer Overlord was unwilling to accept failure.
Evil Thought stood tall, the determination in his eyes did not waver, and his Recovery Power was unshakeable, he cast the spell again, but alas, it was still in vain.
"When parasites burrow into your barren brain — you become a pawn in my blueprint." The Karsus Crown on the Neser Brain’s head flickered with eerie light, "Who do you think the chosen ones heard about the Astral Prism from?"
With each telepathy, each word of the Neser Brain felt like a heavy hammer striking Evil Thought’s heart, the Neser Brain was putting pressure on Evil Thought, meticulously weaving a psychological offensive, hoping to break Evil Thought’s mental defenses with this method.
"Damn — not good!" Karak jumped out, "Everything was for this moment — we must stop the Elder Brain. It’s now!" freeweɓnøvel~com
Evil Thought was not so easily subdued, he gathered all his Magic Power, several red lights shot out hitting the Neser Brain, yet that colossal being did not move, instead, Evil Thought was the first to fall to his knees.
"Is this the extent?" The Neser Brain’s Mind Shock Wave suddenly erupted, besides Leon, everyone present was sent flying.
"We must retreat now, find a way to leave," the Mind Flayer Overlord struggled to get up, intending to lead everyone away, leave first, then figure out how to deal with the Neser Brain, suddenly realizing Leon was still standing there.
"Who are you?" The Neser Brain’s attention had always been focused on Evil Thought, only now did it notice Leon standing in the corner.
Leon found all eyes on him, he could only shrug helplessly and walked forward slowly, as he stepped, his form began to twist and swell — scales emerged from beneath his skin, bones creaked with teeth-gritting sounds... the human form was simply no match for the Neser Brain; it had to be Dragon Form.
"Red Dragon?!" Seeing the super-giant Red Dragon, the massive brain tissue of the Neser Brain slightly contracted.
"He’s, he’s a Red Dragon?" Gael exclaimed in disbelief, "A Red Dragon has been mingling among us all this time?"
"Ancient Red Dragon, he’s an Ancient Red Dragon!" Laiyeze’er exclaimed excitedly. As a Githyanki, she trusted the Red Dragon, "We are saved."
For ordinary people, unless with some distinctive features like one-eye, huge scars, or extra horns, all Red Dragons look pretty much the same unless Leon took out a sword or exposed his three heads and six arms; no one could easily recognize his true identity.
"How could he be a Red Dragon?" Shadow Heart mumbled, "I saw him order and pay for food at the tavern."
"Leon, Leon, Leon..." Will muttered to himself, suddenly widening his eyes, "Right, he always said his name was Leon."
As the crowd was in shock, the Neser Brain had already launched an attack, after all, Red Dragons serve in Githyanki armies hunting Mind Flayers, the animosity is deep between them.
An ordinary Elder Brain is nothing in front of an Ancient Red Dragon, but it is the Neser Brain.
"You can’t interfere with the grand blueprint." The Neser Brain, without hesitation, used its powerful psychic energy to attempt a deep intrusion into the mind of the Red Dragon. The mental tentacles had just extended and encountered a mass of raging flame.
For the Samadhi True Fire not only can be turned outward but also be turned inward, eradicating diseases and expelling demons, with the flame gone pure and cool, devoid of anything, before the Samadhi True Fire burns out, Leon can almost be immune to any control other than physical, virtually maxing out intelligence, perception, and charisma saves.
As Leon’s eyes suddenly widened, his chest heated and glowed, the mental tentacles of the Neser Brain instantly retracted like a hand touching fire.
"You are the largest Elder Brain I have ever seen." Leon laughed, "Grilled brain flowers would be enough for me to eat for a few meals."
"You’re also the most powerful Red Dragon I’ve ever seen," the Neser Brain no longer tried to control Leon, it raised its tentacles, shooting a thin green beam at Leon, which was an augmented Dissociation Technique.
Leon had already activated the Vajra Body, the Dissociation Technique hit the scales, merely sparking a puff of smoke, said, "Years ago, decades ago, I foresaw today... You think you control everything, could it be your appearance and death are but a game."
"You don’t think you can shake my mind do you?" the Neser Brain swung its tentacles, besides psychic energy, its tentacles were just as powerful, this strike was enough to smash city walls, but hitting Leon’s body didn’t even make him twitch.
"I wouldn’t expect words to shake your mind." Leon bared his teeth in a grin, he certainly won’t let the Neser Brain attack without defending, releasing Fierce Gods and Evil Spirits, he unleashed a deafening roar, causing the entire lake of the Molding Realm Secret to tremble and waves to rise, "So is it my turn now? I’m going to tear you apart."
The Neser Brain felt the fear, it was shaking, squirming as it flew to distance itself from the Red Dragon.
The Mind Flayer Overlord looked at the Teleportation Gate he had opened, unsure what to say for a moment.
"Trying to run?" Leon sneered, spreading his wings, at this point of the showdown, if he didn’t act now, he would have no chance.
