Chapter 2517 Betrayal

Compared with other subspecies of beholders, the most unique physiological structure of the "Director's Eye" is the three tentacles with spikes that drag under the body.

These tentacles can be used as weapons to whip the enemy, but the main purpose is to act as a rein to restrain the giant worm mount under it.

Finally, Joan's eyes fell on the real beholder floating in the air at the end of the line, and his eyes became extremely dignified.

...

As Astaroth described with fear and disgust, Mitra's huge main eye was pale and cloudy, and the pupils could hardly be seen clearly, as if she had suffered from a severe "cataract". The price paid for the special profession of "teacher".

Mitra's ten eye stalks are still healthy, and one of them wears a crystal device similar to the monocle used by watchmakers. It should be some kind of magic device. Joan can't see any special purpose for the time being. .

...

At the same time that Joan cast a spell to detect Mitra and his servants, "Eye of the Kiss of Death" Astaroth hid in a secret stone room, and through the "detection crystal ball", he was also secretly observing the same group of uninvited guests.

When she stole the beholder crown from Mitra, she also took the crystal ball with her, and it just came in handy now.

Astaru had already detected a large group of enemies coming, but she didn't plan to report to Joan, let alone join the battle now.

From the moment he was forced to surrender to Joan, Astaru had a small calculation in his heart.

She also knew that Joan was guarding against herself, so she never lied to the young mage, and everything she said was true, but she didn't tell all the things she knew, and she cleverly hid it. part of the intelligence.

She had told Joann that it was true that beholders usually left their lairs alone in search of phantoms in their dreams, but Metra was not "usual."

How could a guy like her, who blatantly violated the traditional customs of the beholder clan and would rather be rejected by her compatriots than self-mutilate, be a rigid and conservative old man?

In fact, Mitra has always used any means to achieve her goals.

She will indeed look for the beholder in her dream, but she will not hunt down her old enemy alone like the arrogant Shika. Before leaving, she must make full preparations for this trip.

As expected by Astaroth, Mitra led all the generals out, and she could clearly feel the murderous aura through the crystal ball.

Seeing the figure of his former master again, Astaroth couldn't help but trembled in fright.

She decided to hide in this secret room first, and secretly observe the one-party confrontation between Joan and Mithra, and it would not be too late to come forward to clean up the mess when both sides were hurt.

The "command technique" that Joan imposed on her is a hidden danger. If she refuses to fulfill her oath and assist Joan in hunting down Mitra, she will be tortured by the curse forever.

But Astaro thinks this is not a big problem. Just seize the opportunity when both Joan and Mitra are hurting each other, and kill Mitra first, even if the promise is fulfilled, the "Instructing Technique" will be automatically released, and then you can kill Joan without any scruples.

"Hey~ Come on, little mage! It's better for you and Mitra-sama to die together, so I don't have to go to the trouble!"

Staring at the crystal ball, Astaru muttered to himself with a smirk.

It doesn't matter what's on her mind, but she absolutely shouldn't say it out loud.

When Joan activated the "Myth Alert" and opened up an invisible and ubiquitous monitoring network, the phrase "Disaster comes from the mouth" changed from a clichéd moral preaching to a literal statement of facts.

If Astaru doesn't speak up, he will be caught right away!

Suddenly, there was a wave of magic power behind him, which woke Astaru out of his fantasy of being a fisherman, and turned around in a hurry to look behind him.

A hazy figure stood quietly behind her. The black robe and indifferent eyes were ten times more terrifying than Mitra's pale main eye!

Astaroth suddenly felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, and was so frightened that he screamed on the spot.

"Master Dharma! You... why are you here!"

"Is it not possible?" The black-clothed mage asked calmly.

Astaru managed to calm down, and looked carefully with his main eyes wide open, only to realize that what was floating behind him was not Joan himself, but a projection he created with magic.

"Uh... no no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that! My lord mage, in fact, I was planning to report to you that Mitra has broken into our cave with a large group of lackeys. Think of a way!" Astaro stammered.

The mage in black sneered silently, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips rose slightly.

"Astaroth, I gave you a chance, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish it. I've heard enough of your incongruity, now it's time for you to shut up forever."

The mage in black raised his right hand, pale and cold negative energy gathered in his palm, and a note calling for death floated from his lips.

Astaru once turned into a real beholder with the help of the beholder crown. Of course, it can be seen that Joan is casting the 7-ring necromancy magic similar to the "death ray". Every now and then, I want to find a place to hide.

However, there was nowhere to hide in the empty stone room, and Astaroth finally curled up in the corner, with ten tentacles ending in his mouth, crying and begging for mercy at the same time.

"No...don't kill me, Master Mage! Please show kindness and forgive me once—for the last time! I swear to repent from the bottom of my heart!"

If Joan is still in human society, and uses the morals and laws of human society to restrain herself, she may only drive Astaru away, and not kill her. After all, she has not completely transformed the conspiracy brewing in her mind into betrayal fact.

However, Joan has been far away from the human world, and no longer regards human laws and morals as golden rules, but instead reassesses the value of human nature from the perspective of "monsters".

Now that he has decided to become a beholder and experience the beholder's way of life, he doesn't mind following the beholder's rules to punish traitors.
