Chapter 2574 Tentacle Beholder

Joan stared at the two right-hand men calmly, and did not break the silence until Tishitea and Valak broke out in cold sweat.

"Since Your Excellency the Prime Minister has spoken, I'd better go to the city in person."

"Tisitea, you go to greet Shar, Valak, and bring your purple worms. My death knell beetle guards will also temporarily teach you to command, and we will set off now."

"Okay, Lord Mitra, but we are all going to the city, is there any problem at home?" Tisitea asked.

"I will tell Elaldo to keep an eye on the movement on the territory, and it is enough for her to take care of the house." Joan said indifferently.

Tisitea and Valak stopped talking, and immediately carried out the orders given by their masters, gathered their men, and followed their masters into the city to suppress the bandits.

On the way into the city, they encountered two groups of enemies one after another, and they were not many in number. Joan was too lazy to take action himself, and sent Valak and Tisitea to lead the team to clean up these scum that wanted to die.

Nine death knell beetles lined up and fired "Sonic Harmony" at the same time, blasting the group of Dillo dwarves and octopus claws on the opposite side to the ground.

Valak rode the purple worm mount rewarded by his master and rushed up. The giant worm swallowed all the enemies blocking the way one by one, and hiccupped in satisfaction. The lizard Shar teamed up to kill them.

Joan's territory is located in the fringe area of ​​Udinos, far away from the center of the city where the council hall is located. When she led a group of servants to the square, many beholder nobles had already rushed to the square. Battle against invaders.

Joan was not in a hurry to participate in the battle, and hovered around the square to observe, and found that the enemies who broke into the central area of ​​Udinos, in addition to the Dillo dwarves, octopus claws, and phagocytosis he had seen in his territory before, there were many " Tentacle Beholder"—a demon of the Obiris tribe that the mind flayer lords specially summoned from the Abyss in order to tease the beholders.

"Obiris" is the aborigine of the Abyss and the oldest kind of demon recorded in history.

At the beginning of the creation of the world, "After Chaos" once led the demon tribe of Obiris to fight an epic battle with the representatives of the race of order, the "Elemental Dukes of Wind".

After the decisive battle between "Chaos" and "Order", the Obiris Demon Clan suffered a disastrous decline and declined sharply. The mainstream group of the bottom abyss.

Today, there are only a few surviving Obiris demons, and the "tentacle beholder" is one of the relatively unpopular subtypes.

The mind flayers brought out this extremely rare demon and called so many of them in one go, which shows how keen they are to make things difficult for the beholders. Joan really can't understand the perverted octopus heads of Odis, so can't he use this ingenuity in a serious place?

Mind flayers may feel that the "tentacle beholder" is very similar to the real beholder. If we take octopus claws and phagocytosis as references, this conclusion is quite reliable.

However, in Joan's view, these monsters from the abyss are actually closer to the large "eye of the kiss of death" than real beholders.

Tentacle beholders, like beholders and subspecies, are naturally airborne, and their bodies are wriggling black balls about 9 feet in diameter, about a circle larger than full-blood beholders.

There is a scarlet main eye in the center of the tentacle beholder's body, which is shining more crazily than the beholder. Below the main eye, there is a big mouth full of fangs. There are eight tentacles of different lengths all over the body, and the front end of each tentacle is still alive. There is a mouth - this is also the place that most resembles the "eye of the kiss of death".

...

Joan cast a spell to detect a nearby tentacle beholder. Judging from the information obtained, the tentacle beholder obviously possesses the strength of a high-level demon. In addition to a strong body, it has a lot of supernatural abilities such as immunity, damage reduction, and resistance. , also has the spellcasting ability equivalent to a 13th-level warlock, among which she is most concerned about the "paralyzing gaze" and "mad gesture" of the tentacle beholder.

"Paralyzing gaze" is the attack method of the tentacle beholder's main eye, covering a 60-foot cone-shaped area in front of it. If the prey that is stared at is not determined enough, it will be paralyzed and unable to move, which is equivalent to being hit by the "monster hold spell".

"Crazy Stance" is a kind of supernatural aura unique to the Obiris demon clan. It is specific to different subtypes, and the radiation radius and function are also different.

The tentacle beholder's "crazy stance" spreads to a space of 60 feet around the tentacle beholder, and the affected creatures will fall into a trance state and lose their minds.

Joan once saw such a record in a document introducing the Obiris Demon: a large number of repeatable experimental results showed that the "crazy posture" does not work on creatures with chaotic and evil natures.

The so-called "madness" has its own way of madness. The madness of the Obiris Demon is manifested as pure chaos and destruction, while the beholder is mentally abnormal, but its symptoms are mainly manifested as autism and delusions of persecution. People who are physically and mentally healthy are more advocating order.

Because only in a relatively stable environment, can beholders hide in their lairs and enjoy peace, free from turbulent influence from the outside world, and don't have to deal with strangers with ulterior motives.

Beholders and tentacle beholders, who look similar in appearance, actually have huge differences in spirit. The collision of order and chaos is vividly reflected in the battle on the square.

When the giant-eyed tyrants saw the tentacle beholder for the first time, they were so stimulated that they went crazy. They used the most vicious language to curse these ugly "fakes", and at the same time continuously sent out eye rays to hit the tentacle beholder, with beams of various colors criss-crossing , There was chaos on the battlefield.

Tentacle beholders are not easy to mess with. At first, they tried to use "paralyzing gaze" and "crazy stance" to deal with the beholders, but soon found that the opponent's range was farther than their own, and ten eye stalks shot wildly all over their bodies, and they couldn't find them. When they had the opportunity to get close, they cast their innate magic "Deep Darkness Technique" one after another, creating a large dark area around them.
