Chapter 83 Both sides suffer! But I have one more chance
Gauss is a beholder.
Strictly speaking, it is a secondary beholder that has just advanced, because like Xiao En, it is also an alien soul reincarnated into a weird kingdom.
Gauss comes from an extremely distant world, a place called the Kingdom of Gray Eagle. Gauss is just the common language pronunciation of its name. The secondary beholders born in the same batch as it at that time were all called Gauss beholders. Because many of the names of beholders have weird and incomplete syllables, outsiders are used to transliterating them in common language. In this strange place called the Weird Country, Gauss was surprised to find that almost the same common language was used here. It seemed that part of the civilization inheritance came from the Forgotten Country.
Gaos was very powerful in his previous life. At that time, he was a real beholder. He ruled a large area underground, had his own beholder lair, and controlled a large number of slaves under his command. There were more than ten slaves under his command. Served by the lesser beholder subspecies.
Its struggle in the previous life can be said to be a history of the rise of a small person, because it was originally an accompanying secondary beholder subspecies - the Gauss beholder. After repeatedly receiving gifts from the Great Mistress, it transformed and was promoted. Became a truly powerful beholder. But it is a pity that the Greyhawk Kingdom is a place where there are as many high-level adventurers as dogs. Before Gauss could start his ambitious path to promotion to an underground lord, he was suddenly broken in by a priest with a little divine grace and a group of people. The adventurer was torn into pieces.
They are looking for an artifact called the 'Ebony Mirror', which is said to be used to observe another distant universe.
After Gauss died, he thought he would enter the divine kingdom of the Great Beholder Mother. After all, he was a pious and diligent beholder.
But unfortunately, everything backfired. When Gauss woke up, instead of entering the divine kingdom of the Beholder Mistress, he was sent to a ghost place called the Kingdom of Weirdness. After it resurrected from the dead, even its race was no longer a great beholder, but an extremely weak human subspecies.
That period was the darkest time in Gauss's life, because not only did he not adapt to the body of the human subspecies, but he couldn't compete with his strong parents and uncles for daily food, and he almost starved to death in the group.
The stone blind barbarians will eliminate the weakest tribesmen. If they cannot get food, they will really starve. The more hungry they are, the less food they can get.
But fortunately, Gauss is not desperate. He still keeps praying to the Beholder Mistress. He hates the current human body because it is very stupid, ugly and slow. For a beholder who is used to the powerful basic attributes of its talent, the stone blind man's brain is as stupid as a pig's, and his perception is even slower than that of an ogre. Fortunately, there is always a path, and suddenly one day, an ancient and indescribable existence called the 'Twin Demon Eyes' responded to Gauss's prayer and gave it a trace of the extraordinary nature of the beholder path.
After getting all this, Gauss was ecstatic and couldn't wait to perform the transformation ceremony. It abandoned the body of the original human subspecies, retaining only the head part, and then parasitized the magic eye into its own brain. , began to reshape the structure of the entire brain, and finally a secondary subspecies of the beholder - the Gauss beholder was born.
Gaos has turned into a beholder again. Although it is only a secondary beholder, it is sure to rely on its own strength to further advance, and even become an extremely powerful beholder elder in the future.
Because this is the universe where aberrations originate.
The Kingdom of Weirdness is even more chaotic than the Kingdom of Greyhawk, and chaos means endless opportunities.
The extraordinary nature of this world is to plunder and steal. This is very familiar to Gauss. In his previous life, he relied on plunder and oppression to build his underground lair. It is even easier for it to meet the promotion conditions of the Weird Kingdom than it is to obtain the grace of the Beholder Grand Mother in the Greyhawk Kingdom.
Furthermore, the Weird Kingdom is a material plane dominated by monsters, and humans are forced to hide in other levels. It no longer has to worry about being surrounded by high-level adventurers all day long.
If in the Kingdom of Gray Eagle, the humans there are more powerful than the others, and the members of the Eight Leaves, especially the guy named Mordenkainen, as long as they have anything to do with him, there will be no One is easy to deal with.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Unfortunately, Gauss's plan encountered a major challenge at the beginning, because he was blinded in one of his eyes.
Dangers abound in the weird kingdom. In order to scare away potential enemies, Gauss will use the Gigantization Technique on himself to disguise himself from a beholder subspecies to a real beholder. (One challenge level 6, one challenge level 13.)
This plan is undoubtedly successful. No matter it is a ghost, a night witch, a hag, etc., or other weird creatures, they will not be easily provoked. A powerful beholder.
But unfortunately something unexpected happened today. Gauss still sends out his strange eyes to patrol the territory every day. This is his special talent as a 'soul of another world', which can separate his secondary eye from his body. I went out on patrol, but I didn't expect a damn guy to blow out its eyeballs with one shot.
The other party is also a soul from another world.
Like Beholder Gauss, they are very special existences in the weird kingdom. After realizing that the other party was relatively weak, Beholder Gauss's heart was instantly shrouded in greed.
Because in the weird kingdom, not only the extraordinary beings on the same path can devour each other, but also the existences as souls of other worlds can also devour each other. Under this mutual devouring law of survival of the fittest, the winner can get the other. A trace of talent, even to strengthen his own soul power.
Beholder Gauss is sure that he is stronger than his opponent, and much more powerful. This is undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky opportunity for him, because souls from other worlds are relatively rare to begin with, and those that come to his door are even rarer. Less.
"Eat him, strengthen my soul, and be promoted to a real beholder!" Gauss Beholder is ready to make a move.
………………
Sean was locked in.
The beholder not far away was approaching him quickly. He was not sure what kind of beholder the enemy was for the time being, because there were too many mutated subspecies of beholders in the weird country. But there is no doubt that the enemy is much stronger than him. Even the most common beholder subspecies requires a team of night watchmen to deal with it. It is very difficult for him to rely on him alone at the moment.
Phew!
A ray of light shot towards Xiao En. Relying on his strong perception ability, Xiao En jumped ahead of time to dodge the attack, narrowly avoiding it again and again.
After getting closer and seeing the enemy's appearance clearly, Xiao En felt a little relieved, because the enemy's eyeballs were not that many. This was a secondary subspecies of the beholder. A real beholder will have more small eyes and be able to emit more types of eye rays.
The body diameter of this secondary beholder is about one meter and two meters. In the center is a huge main eye, which can intimidate the enemy. The central main eye of some secondary beholders can even activate an 'anti-magic force field', that is, An ability that suppresses all other magical effects and is very difficult to deal with and targeted at the casting path.
In terms of natural ability, the strange beholder in front of him is very restrained by Xiao En!
——Shocked!
The Gauss Beholder launched the shocking attack of its central main eye the moment it approached. The huge central main eye stared at Xiao En not far away. At the same time, it raised one of its eye stalks. His little eyeballs shot a dark ray towards Xiao En.
——Sleep light.
Its effect is similar to Xiao En's sleep spell, but the beholder's spellcasting level is higher than his. The monster level of this creature is at least 8, which is three extraordinary levels higher than Xiao En's. He has never encountered any low-level creatures in the weird kingdom, and the difficulty of monster challenges has always been higher than his own strength.
But Xiao En was not affected at all.
He himself raised his head in surprise, completely ignoring the shocking effect of the enemy's central main eye and the sleep effect of the eye stalk ray.
"That's right."
"I'm no longer alive now!" Xiao En thought of his experiences during the day. He was obviously resting, but he never really fell asleep. He is in a state of half-dream and half-awake, and his perception of the outside world has never been disconnected.
The current Xiao En is neither a living person nor a dead person, but he has some common abilities of both.
After Eamon took out Xiao En's heart, he now seems to have some characteristics of the undead, so he can easily resist the enemy's shock and sleep abilities.
Control is invalid!
This undoubtedly shocked the Gaussian Eye Demon in front of him, because according to its own script, to deal with a wizard who is weaker than itself, it only needs to open a shock attack from the central demon eye, followed by a sleep ray. It can be done, after all, wizards' physical fitness is not very good.
But everything in front of me was undoubtedly counterproductive. After the first wave of intimidation offensive failed, the Gauss Beholder immediately let out a burst of painful screams.
Bang bang bang!
Xiao En's counterattack arrived, and the dense storm of bullets directly riddled the enemy's body with holes. If the enemy was not a powerful monster like a beholder, but a lizardman or something, he might have killed him with a headshot. The vitality of aberrations is very powerful. They all have a natural monster level, and their racial attributes are much higher than those of ordinary extraordinary beings.
Hiss!
A sharp neighing sound sounded.
In the crypt not far away, seven or eight stone blind barbarians with heavy weapons rushed out in a mess. Strictly speaking, they are the parents and uncles of the beholder Gauss, because they are the humans reincarnated by Gauss. The descendants of the beholder, a race of beholder monsters that were later transformed through rituals.
"Fuck! It controls these stone blind barbarians!" Xiao En's situation suddenly became a little bad.
He was beaten. The Gauss Beholder was originally much stronger than him, but now a group of stone blind barbarians have appeared. If he is besieged by the enemy, Xiao En will definitely die. Stoneblind savages are very stupid, but they are very strong, even stronger than primitive people. The giant sticks they wield can easily kill people.
If we use the description in the game, stone blind barbarians are all barbarians with a strength of 18 or above.
You can't run away.
The weird country at night is even more dangerous. If Xiao En runs out, he knows what other powerful enemies he will encounter. Moreover, the beholder is born with the ability to fly and can emit light from a distance. His flying spell may not necessarily allow him to successfully escape.
Even if you want to escape, you have to give it a try first.
Fight!
After Xiao En realized that his chance of escaping was not great, he did not retreat and counterattacked, but rushed directly towards the ferocious beholder in front of him. While advancing rapidly, he used a modified The short-barreled shotgun also appeared in Xiao En's hand. This is the most powerful firearm in his hand at present. Even the deformed human wolf can be killed with one shot. If he can blow out the enemy's central eye at close range, he is still There is a chance for a comeback.
——Dispel the magic ray!
——Exhaustion ray!
——Paralysis Ray!
Beholder Gauss, as a mutant, seems to have the ability to perform multiple attacks. Its tactics are very targeted. After all, he was the nest lord of the Greyhawk Kingdom in his previous life, and he also killed many spellcasters in the past. . It started with a dispel magic, which directly destroyed Xiao En's super-vision ability. The surrounding darkness suddenly hit. Without the blessing of super-vision, Xiao En's vision was suddenly affected. Only inspiration vision can lock the target. the orientation.
He himself has no night vision and cannot see in the dark.
——Mirror Image!
Xiao En decisively added a mirror image spell to himself. The time to cast the spell during the battle was so short that he didn't even have a chance to add an energy deflection field.
The group of stone blind barbarians are already approaching, leaving Xiao En no more than five seconds.
——Dimension jump!
Xiao En's figure flashed out instantly. While flashing, the eight mirror images also flashed together, as if they also used dimension jumping.
The beholder not far away suddenly had a panicked expression.
This script is a bit different from what it imagined, because in its imagination, the enemy should find a way to escape, or else cast a spell from a distance, because few spellcasters on the wizard path will rush up and get close to people. Fighting.
After all, not everyone is Gandalf. The reputation of the violent swordsman-Gandalf is powerful and resounds in many crystal wall systems.
Xiao En's abnormal behavior made the beholder a little panicked. The Kingdom of Gray Eagle is a world with a high level of magic civilization. There are many spellcasters. There are also people who behave abnormally like him, but they are very rare. .
“Is he a spell caster of the Bigby Chainmaster School?”
“Not good!”
"He must be able to use force field palms, that's why he wants to get closer to me!" Gauss Beholder instantly felt a sense of crisis and quickly stepped back to create a certain distance.
Bigby's force field skills are very difficult to deal with. There are many powerful force field spells even in the low level.
The enemy's charging posture is a bit like Bigby's punch!
It can summon a huge, colorful fist as big as a human torso to appear in front of the enemy and give the enemy a powerful punch!
——Anti-magic force field!
The Gaussian Beholder decided to strike first without hesitation. A strange invisible barrier spread, followed by Xiao En's dimensionally jumping figure approaching. All the mirror images disappeared in an instant, and the anti-magic force field suppressed Xiao En's body. All the rare items and spells, even the rare items and equipment obtained earlier, were completely ineffective. The cold wind suddenly made him feel a biting chill. This was because the magical items that allowed him to endure the environment were completely ineffective.
He is almost running naked now, and the magic items and spells have lost their effect.
Bang!
But what greeted the Gauss Beholder was not the hand of the force field it suspected. Xiao En was not the force field battle mage of the Bigby faction at all. He approached with a flash and directly raised his short-barreled shotgun and took aim. There was a muffled bang in the enemy's central main eye, and the Gaussian beholder closed its eyes and screamed in agony.
——Scorching Ray!
A high-temperature ray that caused burning damage hit Xiao En's chest, piercing through like a laser ray, leaving a black scar.
——Damage transfer! (Invalid)
Damn it!
The effect of the anti-magic force field is still there, and the damage transfer spell cannot be used!
Xiao En was too close to the enemy's central eye. The Gaussian Beholder took a hard shot, but actually forced his central eye to open and reopened the anti-magic field. Xiao En was still anti-magic. Within the range of influence of the field, no other spells can be used at all.
At this moment, he shot out the enemy's central main eye with one shot. The unexpected surprise attack hurt both of them. Xiao En was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and the Gauss Beholder was also seriously injured and on the verge of death.
“I can win!” The beholder Gauss was roaring in his heart as he saw the approaching stone blind man.
Xiao En struggled to get up, trying to launch a desperate blow.
But unfortunately, before Xiao En could continue to take action, a wave of swung sticks came down, and the enemy directly knocked Xiao En to the ground.
They are stone blind barbarians.
These stupid human subspecies became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Xiao En's counterattack that he had a chance to fight failed in an instant. His skull was smashed by the stone blind barbarian's heavy club, and his brains and blood were It splashed out and was smashed into a puddle of flesh after falling to the ground.
It hurts! pain! pain!
It hurts so much! Even though he had died twice today, Xiao En still felt miserable!
The death scene begins to rewind.
Xiao En broke free from the pain of death, and his brain immediately began to think about a new battle plan. He was just a little bit close. If the sudden darkness had not disrupted the rhythm of the attack, he might have succeeded in counterattack. .
If it hadn't been for the stone blind barbarians causing trouble, he would have at least been able to die together.
There is a chance!
Xiao En’s plan was to have a death retrospective. If there was no chance at all and he was directly crushed and killed by the enemy, he might immediately turn around and run away.
He is constantly trying to develop the use of death retrospection.
The best method at present is to use it as a prediction spell two or three minutes in advance. Basically, in this extremely real prediction, Xiao En can see the enemy's position, strength, trump card and other information. He has an absolute winning margin for error.
If there really was no chance at all and he was completely tortured by the enemy, his error tolerance would be used to escape this time.
A secondary beholder reincarnated in another world.
Although Xiao En's strength is far inferior to that of his enemy, his combat effectiveness, relying on the power of firearms, has a chance to kill the enemy.
