The Master’s Friendship Rules

Gotrik: “Drink!”
There was no moment to mourn Marika’s failed sneak attack. The next to arrive on the battlefield was the combination of the barbarian and the dwarf, the enhanced version of Bladestorm Dwarf, brackets, and blunt weapons!
The Mind Flayer released Marika’s shackles and flew backwards, trying to use flying to create distance!
Chapter 317: The End of the Mind Flayer
The king yelled to Elizabeth, “Take action! Good chance! Fireball!”
Elizabeth shouted “Go!” and threw the fireball she had been holding in her hand for a while. Because she threw it so hard, her chest shook violently.
Then a fireball that was a circle larger than an ordinary fireball flew towards the Mind Flayer.
The moment this thing landed on the ground, everyone’s vision was filled with white light.
The strong wind created by the shock wave swept through the corridor and almost swept Elizabeth away. Fortunately, Wang was quick to grab her waist.
“Is it done?” Elizabeth asked anxiously.
The king looked at the Mind Flayer and saw it standing in the flames, its clothes torn into strips. Its anger was transmitted through telepathy: “Do you know how rare this precious robe is? This is a treasure given to me by the Bishop himself!”
The king immediately said to Elizabeth, “His robe has withstood the damage. Another one! This broken robe should not be able to withstand the damage!”
Elizabeth immediately took out new dung balls from the bag.
Before she could chant the spell, the Mind Flayer stretched out his slender finger, pointed at her and chanted the spell: “Petrification!”
Wang was shocked: “A spell that can petrify people?”
The fixed spell can omit the action of casting, and the spell can be cast just by reciting the spell. The price is that the fixed spell will occupy a spell slot of a higher level.
The next moment, Elizabeth’s entire movement stopped, even her breasts stopped shaking.
Marika screamed heartbreakingly: “Your Highness!”
Wang: “Calm down! He’s just petrified. Use Remove Petrification or Break the Barrier to save him.”
Although Flint was in the hands of the barbarian, he still shouted: “How did you know that I could use the barrier-breaking skill after I upgraded to the fifth ring yesterday?”
Who asked you!
The dwarf added, “But I didn’t prepare this spell today.”
Wang: “What did you prepare?”
“Resurrection of the dead, but it happens that I can’t remove petrification. And I also brought a True Seeing spell…”
The dwarf stuttered for a moment, then he shouted, “Wait, barbarian, don’t throw me, let me cast true seeing!”
True Seeing can see through most false illusions, which is just right to counter the visual deviation caused by the mind flayer’s psychic ability, allowing point attacks to hit it.
The barbarian immediately jumped back and put the dwarf on the ground.
As the dwarf touched his holy symbol and prepared to cast a spell, the mind flayer pointed a finger at him: “Did you ask me?”
Wang recognized the gesture of the other hand and announced loudly: “Finger of Death!”
While reporting, Wang completed the spell himself.
Suggestion!
The king forced the idea of materialism into the mind flayer’s mind. Although it did not turn it into a materialist, it did interfere with its spellcasting. After all, most of the mind flayers had traveled to many planes on the conch shell ship and had heard of the materialistic side to some extent.
The green light of the Finger of Death just appeared at his fingertips and turned into harmless green fire.
The Mind Flayer was shocked: “Counterspell? Aren’t you against the School of Protection?”
Counterspell is also a spell from the School of Protection, so in theory the King should not be able to cast it. However, this is Suggestion, and it just looks like Counterspell.
While the Mind Flayer was surprised, Flint finished casting the spell, and in everyone’s eyes, the Mind Flayer immediately teleported to the side – to be precise, he was originally at the current location, but everyone’s vision was deceived.
The next second, Nini’s two arrows hit the Mind Flayer’s face.
This time the arrow pierced the mind flayer’s head. The mind flayer screamed in anger, raised his hand and pulled out a feather arrow, and blood spurted out from the hole left by the feather arrow.
Nini asked: “Teacher, what happened to this guy? This should be a fatal injury!”
Mind Flayer: “Let me answer your question. This is one of the few gifts Ragnora has given me. Unless you smash my head completely, I will not die!”
As it spoke, it stretched out its hand again, pointing its finger at Nini——
Marika hugged its body from behind, with the dagger stuck in the mind flayer’s neck: “Can you resist this?”
After saying that, she exerted force and cut the mind flayer’s throat, blood vessels and nerves.
“When…” After leaving such a confused mental aftermath, the Mind Flayer fell down.
Everyone in the rescue team remained on guard, staring at the fallen Mind Flayer.
Marika rushed forward to finish off the mind flayer without saying a word, and Flint woke up as if from a dream. He rushed towards the mind flayer at the “fastest speed” of six seconds and twenty feet, and smashed the five flail heads onto the mind flayer’s body.
The five heads immediately released astonishing magical energy, and simultaneously inflicted fire, strong acid, lightning, ice and poison on the mind flayer – or to be more precise, the mind flayer’s corpse.
Marika stopped looking at the burning Mind Flayer and quickly walked to Elizabeth, reaching out to touch her face: “Oh… my poor Highness…”
Flint: “I’ll remove the petrification tomorrow. I didn’t expect to encounter a situation like this. If it was the finger of death, I could have used the resurrection of the dead to pull her up immediately.”
Wang: “Looking at the bright side, at least you don’t have to worry about damage to the body after petrification. After all, you see, stone is much more resistant than flesh.”
Marika turned her head and looked at the king: “Please put His Highness into the dimensional bag and keep it well.”
Wang nodded: “Leave it to me.”
He took out the dimensional bag, aimed it at the princess, and the next moment the life-size stone statue was sucked into the bag.
Xiaobai: “Now we don’t have the firepower of the warlock. I should have asked her to throw more fireballs.”
King: “Don’t worry, the toughest enemies have already been dealt with. The remaining enemies have lost the control of the Mind Flayer and will probably start fighting among themselves first.”
Franka: “I sense a lot of evil! Fufufu, they lost the control of the Mind Flayer and became my food! I’m going to start eating!”
After saying that, Furu sprayed pink gas that represented pleasure and ran away along the corridor.
Wang put away the dimensional bag, jumped off Xiaobai’s neck, walked towards the body of the mind flayer, and began to do what he would do every time he defeated a powerful enemy: “plunder.”
Approaching the mind flayer, he first cast a detect magic item.
Then he discovered that the mind flayer’s robe had completely lost its magical aura.
Wang: “This robe is completely useless. It seems that Elizabeth’s beautiful fireball is indeed very powerful.”
Xiao Bai followed and said, “Of course, Da Piaoliang is so beautiful, of course she will be very powerful in that robe. I wonder how terrifying she will be in that robe after she has seven or eight rings.”
Wang: “Indeed.”
As he said this he lifted up the Mind Flayer’s hand and removed the ring from it.
Xiaobai: “The ring again? You’re almost the Lord of the Rings!”
King: “It may not be suitable for me. You see, in the battle just now, the Mind Flayer had no intention of using this ring at all.”
He paused, then continued, “Besides, Nini, Marika, and Flint also have the ability to use magic items. I should have distributed some magic items to everyone to prevent these items from interfering with each other on me.”
Chapter 318: It’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive late
Wang turned his gaze back to the ring he had just seized: “It’s very well made, and it looks…”
“It looks like the work of a dwarf,” Flint said as he stood beside the king.
The king was currently crouching next to the mind flayer’s corpse, so the dwarf could stand next to it and examine the ring.
Wang: “Hmm…it is indeed a dwarven craft. I have the impression that dwarves rarely make jewelry?”
“It is possible to make one, especially when a large gem is found. But the gem on this ring doesn’t look that big…” Flint stroked his beard, “That’s strange.”
Wang didn’t respond. He stared at the gem on the ring for several seconds before asking Flint, “What do you think this gem is?”
“Tanzanite?”
Wang: “No, this is a mind gem. The dead mind flayer mastermind may produce this thing. It is said to be the product of the collapse of the mind flayer’s powerful mental ability.
“Remember what we saw in the mind flayer’s journal? Because of Ragnora’s power, this mind flayer’s psychic ability was destroyed.”
Everyone nodded.
Wang: “But when we were fighting it just now, other than not brainwashing us, it didn’t look like its psychic abilities were weakened. Because we were attacked by surprise, I didn’t even use the psychic barrier staff I seized earlier.”
Everyone was shocked: “Are you useless?”
Wang: “No. The encounter was so urgent… Well, actually I forgot about it. Didn’t you guys forget that we have this thing?”
Flint: “If you use Mind Barrier, then I don’t need to cast True Seeing. After all, the effect of the Mind Flayer that makes me displaced is not an illusion, but a mental effect, which can be blocked by Mind Barrier.”
Marika: “Wait a minute, if you didn’t use the Mind Barrier Staff, then why didn’t the Mind Flayer brainwash us? I was hanging on his back, but I didn’t feel any sympathy for him. I thought my long-term training was effective.”
Wang: “Maybe he thought we used it.”
“Our attacks all failed because of his psychic ability.” Xiao Bai muttered, “How come it didn’t realize that we don’t have a psychic barrier to protect us?”
Wang was about to speak, but suddenly frowned because his left eyelid started twitching wildly.
What’s going on? Why is my left eyelid twitching at this time?
Suddenly, the queen felt a chill on her head.
“No!” he shouted, “Remember just now? I used suggestion to destroy the mind flayer’s magic! How could a mind flayer be susceptible to suggestion? And he has such a big mind gem in his hand!”
Xiaobai: “Eh? Maybe he has extremely bad luck?”
Wang: “No, no! If you think about it carefully, there are too many abnormalities. For example, right now, we don’t hear any sound of the Kuo-Toa and the Gray Dwarves fighting! This is not the real world!”
As he said this, Wang pulled out the dagger and slashed it across his head and neck without hesitation at all.
The next moment, he opened his eyes.
He saw that Elizabeth, who had just been put into the dimensional bag, was still standing in front of him, her body not petrified.
The gray dwarves had already tied her up, and several kuo-toa were placing a jar full of wriggling maggots next to him, apparently as they were about to pre-treat Elizabeth.
The king looked around again and found that the salvation team had been captured alive, and the mind flayer was studying the king’s dimensional bag.
The king finally understood. He didn’t know from where on, the mind flayer had already controlled their minds. At least half of the battle just now took place in their dreams.
Come to think of it, even if Elizabeth was wearing that big beautiful robe, there was no way she could make a scorching ray that thick.
