Chapter 2984 Ball of Whispering
If the size of the beholder is compared to a small apple, the size of the "Babbling Ball" is comparable to a big pumpkin!
The diameter of the spherical body is 40 feet, and the surface of the body is covered with pits of different depths, just like the craters distributed on the surface of the moon. The spherical objects flying out of the depths of the pits are not much smaller than the beholder. Each one has a mouth full of fangs and a huge one-eyed head. There are about a hundred of them in total. They revolve around the "ball of babbling" like the moon around the planet, forming a cluster of themselves, and sometimes sending out bunches of colorful lights to the surroundings. Rays, each color of rays corresponds to a different magic effect.
Those spherical organs flying around the body of the "Bad Ball" can not only emit eye wave rays similar to beholders, but also keep emitting weird screams from their mouths. All these chaotic and illogical screams are intertwined into a curse that contains the magic power of chaos , so that all those who heard it were insane and fell into madness.
Through the mirror, Joan could feel the terrifying atmosphere brought by the "babbling ball" to Udinos, and quickly activated the "advanced internal vision technique" to check the details of this monster.

...
The "Babbling Ball" has 20 kinds of eye rays, corresponding to different spell effects from level 1 to level 9, which are much stronger than the eye rays of the beholder.
However, the "Whispering Ball" does not seem to have a dominant eye, and Joan has not detected the "anti-magic field" from it, so the beholders can completely activate the "anti-magic field" to suppress the ray attack of the "Whispering Ball", and at the same time Mobilize many servants to besiege the monster.
No matter how strong the hand-to-hand combat ability of the "Babbling Ball" was, it would not be able to withstand the beatings of hundreds of people. It stands to reason that it would not be so domineering in the city that the beholders hid in the shelter and did not dare to fight back.
Even if others can't think of this, Saoirse should also think of it, but why didn't she lead her compatriots to implement this tactic?
Just when Joan was wondering, the "Babbling Ball" had already killed all the prey in the square, turned around and floated towards the council hall, manipulated the eyeballs around him, and collectively shot eye rays, trying to smash the force field protecting the screen council hall shield.
Seeing this, Inanna couldn't help holding her breath, and the hand that was gripping her father's sleeve was trembling.
At the same time, two rays were emitted from the inside of the protective cover, the dark green one was the "dissociation ray", and the silver light was the "cracking ray", which respectively canceled out the simultaneous blast from the "babbling ball". kind of rays.
As for the other 18 types of rays emitted by the "Babbling Ball", none of them can penetrate the force field shield.
"It's Lady Saoirse!" Inanna couldn't help cheering excitedly, "Except for Your Majesty, only the Prime Minister in the city can compress the anti-magic field radiated by the main eye into a beam of cracking rays!"
Joan nodded, and said in a low voice: "Saoirsa is still calm, let's see what she has to do next."
At this time, thirteen beholders floated out of the council hall surrounded by the shield, led by the prime minister with skin like snow, approaching the inner wall of the shield, raised their eye stems one after another, locked on the ball of ravings separated by a wall, and collectively issued "relieve!" away from the ray!"
The "Babbling Ball" was caught off guard, and was hit in many places by the counterattacks of the beholders!
This legendary monster has a strong physique, and most of the dissociation rays can't break through its exoskeleton, and can only cause some insignificant scratches. However, two dissociation rays were lucky enough to break through the defense, chiseling two holes on the body of the raving ball. The huge wound with a radius of more than one foot suddenly gushed blood like a fountain!
"The mystical enchantment is one-way transmission, the attack from the outside will be blocked, but the inside can shoot normally."
Joan explained to her adopted daughter.
"Huh? This is great!" Inanna clapped her hands happily.
"It's not that simple, you see, the ball of ravings is about to move for real!"
Joan pointed to the mirror with a solemn expression.
The legendary strange monster in the mirror just suffered a loss, the eyes surrounding the body roared and screamed in anger, the body was also twisted and twitched, the huge gray meat ball actually cracked a seam, the flesh and blood gap separated to the two sides, the crack became more and more Wider, as if opening eyes.
That's right, through the crack that runs through the body, Joan can vaguely see the scarlet eyeballs - it turns out that this monster has completely wrapped its main eye with a hard exoskeleton armor and hidden it deep in the body!
"My God! What kind of weird physiological structure is that, it's not like us beholders at all!"
Inanna was deeply shocked by what she saw, and her delicate face lost all color.
"The physiological structure of the 'Babbling Ball' is indeed different from that of a beholder, but its main eye can also emit an anti-magic field. Saoirse and the others are in trouble."
As soon as Joan finished speaking, the eyeball hidden inside the exoskeleton of the Whispering Ball suddenly widened, and shot a cone-shaped beam of light onto the force field shield, digging out a huge hole, enough for it to get in.
"How is this possible?!" Inanna exclaimed in disbelief, "How can the anti-magic field suppress the Legendary Mystic?!"
"That's the 'Legendary Anti-Magic Field'."
Qiao An narrowed his eyes slightly, discerning the cone of light emitted by the main eye of the "Babble of Whispering Ball", and explained to his daughter thoughtfully:
"The caster level of the beholder's anti-magic field and eye wave ray is the life level, and the same must be true for the raving ball. With the life level of this monster as high as 40, the upper limit of legendary mana is 50 degrees, and the suppressing council consumes 40 degrees of energy. Misuo, it’s actually very easy.”
At this time, the beholder nobles hiding in the council hall had already noticed that the mystic barrier had been damaged, and couldn't help panicking. Regardless of Saoirse's dissuasion, they fled the mystical barrier one after another.
As a result, he was caught by the "babbling ball" as soon as he went out. Hundreds of eyeballs swarmed towards him, emitting eye rays frequently, and shot the two fleeing beholders into sieves on the spot. The watering can of blood was horrible.
