Chapter 83 Both sides lose! But I still have one chance

Gauss is an eye demon.

Strictly speaking, it is a secondary beholder that has just advanced, because like Sean, it is also an alien soul that has reincarnated into the weird kingdom.

Gauss came from an extremely distant world, a place called Greyhawk Country. Gauss is just the common language reading of its name. The lesser beholders born at the same time as it were all called Gauss beholders. Because many of the names of beholders have strange and incomplete syllables, the outside world is used to transliterating them in the common language. In this strange place called the Weird Country, Gauss was surprised to find that the common language used here is actually similar, and it seems that part of the civilization heritage comes from the forgotten country.

Gauss was very powerful in his previous life. At that time, he was a real eye demon that ruled a large area underground. He had his own eye demon lair, controlled a large number of slaves, and had more than a dozen secondary eye demon subspecies serving him.

Its struggle in its previous life can be described as a history of the rise of a small person, because it was originally a companion secondary beholder subspecies - Gauss beholder. After repeatedly receiving the blessings of the Great Mistress, it transformed and became a truly powerful beholder. But unfortunately, the Grey Eagle Kingdom is a place where high-level adventurers are as numerous as dogs. Before Gauss could start his ambitious path to becoming an underground lord, he was torn into pieces by a priest with a little divine grace and a group of adventurers who suddenly broke in.

They are looking for a magical artifact called the 'Ebony Mirror', which is said to be able to observe another distant universe.

After Gauss died, he thought he would enter the kingdom of the Eye Demon Mistress. After all, he was a pious and diligent Eye Demon.

But unfortunately, things did not go as planned. When Gauss woke up, he was not in the kingdom of the Eye Demon Great Mistress, but was sent to a ghost place called the Kingdom of Weirdness. After he was resurrected, he was no longer a great Eye Demon, but a weak human subspecies.

That period was the darkest time in Gauss's life, because not only did he fail to adapt to the body of the human subspecies, he could not compete with his strong parents and uncles for daily food, and he almost starved to death in the tribe.

The Stoneblind Barbarians will eliminate the weakest members of the tribe. If they cannot get food, they will really starve, and the hungrier they are, the less food they will get.

But fortunately, Gauss did not despair. He continued to pray to the Eye Demon Great Mistress. He hated his current human body because it was very stupid, ugly and dull. For him, who was used to the powerful basic attributes of the Eye Demon, the brain of the Stone Blind Man was as stupid as a pig, and his perception was even duller than that of an Ogre. Fortunately, there is always a way out. Suddenly one day, an ancient and indescribable existence called the Twin Eyes responded to Gauss's prayers and gave him a trace of the extraordinary nature of the Eye Demon path.

After getting all this, Gauss was ecstatic and couldn't wait to perform the transformation ritual. He abandoned his original human subspecies body and only retained the head. He then parasitized the magic eye into his own brain and began to transform the entire brain structure. Finally, a secondary subspecies of eye demon - Gauss eye demon was born.

Gauss turned into a beholder again, although only a secondary beholder, but he was confident that he could further advance with his own strength, and even become an extremely powerful beholder elder in the future.

Because this is the universe where the weirdness originated.

The Kingdom of Weirdness is more chaotic than the Kingdom of Grey Eagle, and chaos means endless opportunities.

The essence of the supernatural in this world is plunder and theft, which is too familiar to Gauss. In his previous life, he built his underground nest by plundering and oppression. Even for him, meeting the promotion conditions of the Weird Kingdom is much easier than obtaining the grace of the Eye Demon Grandmother in the Grey Eagle Kingdom.

Moreover, the Weird Kingdom is a material plane dominated by monsters. Humans are forced to hide in other dimensions, and they no longer have to worry about being besieged by high-level adventurers all day long.

If it were in the Grey Eagle Kingdom, the humans there would be more powerful than each other, and there would also be members of the Eight Leaves, especially that guy named Mordenkainen. Anyone who had any connection with him would be difficult to deal with.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Unfortunately, the plan of the Eye Demon Gauss encountered a major challenge just at the beginning because one of its secondary eyes was blinded.

The Weird Kingdom is full of dangers. In order to scare off potential enemies, Gauss will use the Giant Transformation Technique to disguise himself from a beholder subspecies into a real beholder. (One challenge level 6, one challenge level 13.)
This plan was undoubtedly successful. No matter whether it was the Haunted Ghost, Night Witch, Hag, or other strange creatures, they would not easily provoke a powerful Eye Demon.

But unfortunately, something unexpected happened today. Gauss still sent out his Strange Eye to patrol the territory as usual. This is his special talent as a 'Soul of an Alien World'. He can separate his secondary eye from his body to patrol. But he didn't expect that a damn guy would actually blow out his eyeball with a shot.

The other party is also a soul from another world.

Like Eye Demon Gauss, they are both very special existences in the weird kingdom. After realizing that the opponent's strength is relatively weak, Eye Demon Gauss's heart is instantly filled with greed.

Because in the weird country, not only can the extraordinary people on the same path devour each other, but the souls from other worlds can also devour each other. Under the law of survival of the fittest of mutual devouring, the winner can get a bit of the other party's talent, or even strengthen his own soul power.

The Eye Demon Gaos was certain that he was stronger than the other party, and much stronger. This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity for him, because souls from other worlds were rare, and those that were delivered to his doorstep were even rarer.

"Eat him, strengthen my soul, and become a real eye demon!" Gauss Eye Demon was ready to move.

………………

Sean was locked in.

The beholders not far away were approaching him quickly. He was not sure what kind of beholders the enemy was, because there were too many mutated subspecies of beholders in the weird kingdom. But there was no doubt that the enemy was much stronger than him. Even the most common beholder subspecies required a team of night watchmen to deal with it. It was very difficult for him to deal with it alone.

call out!
A beam of light shot towards Xiao En. Relying on his powerful perception ability, Xiao En made a dimensional jump in advance to dodge the attack and narrowly avoided it.

After getting closer and seeing the enemy's appearance clearly, Xiao En felt a little relieved, because the enemy did not have that many eyes. This was a secondary subspecies of an eye demon. A real eye demon would have more small eyes and could emit more types of eye rays.

The body diameter of this secondary beholder is about 1.2 meters, with a huge main eye in the center, which can intimidate the enemy. Some secondary beholders can even use the central main eye to activate an "anti-magic force field", which suppresses all other magical effects. It is a very difficult ability that targets the casting method.

In terms of natural abilities, the strange eye demon in front of him is very capable of restraining Sean!
——Shock!
The Gauss Eye Demon launched a deterrent attack with its central eye the moment it approached. The huge central eye stared at Sean not far away. At the same time, it raised one of its eye stalks, and the small eyeball on it emitted a dark ray towards Sean.

——Sleep light.

Its effect is similar to Sean's sleep spell, but the eye demon has a higher casting level than him. The monster level of this creature is at least 8, three extraordinary levels higher than Sean. He has never encountered any low-level creatures in the weird kingdom, and the challenge difficulty of the monsters has always been higher than his own strength.

But Xiao En was not affected at all.

He himself looked up in surprise, completely ignoring the stun effect of the enemy's central eye and the sleep effect of the eye stalk ray.

"correct."

"I am no longer a living person!" Xiao En thought of his experience during the day. He was clearly resting, but he never really fell asleep. He was always in a half-asleep and half-awake state, and his perception of the outside world had never been disconnected.

Now Xiao En is neither a living person nor a dead person, but he has some common abilities of both.

After Aamon took out Sean's heart, he now seemed to have some characteristics of the undead, so he easily resisted the enemy's deterrence and sleeping ability.

Control is invalid!

This undoubtedly made the Gauss Eye Demon in front of him feel a little shocked, because according to its own script, to deal with a wizard weaker than itself, it only needs the central magic eye to launch a stun attack, followed by a sleep ray to deal with it. After all, the physical fitness of wizards is not very good.

But everything before his eyes was undoubtedly counterproductive. After the first wave of deterrence attack failed, Gauss's Eye Demon immediately let out a scream of extreme pain.

Bang bang bang!
Xiao En's counterattack arrived, and the dense storm of bullets directly hit the enemy's body with holes. If the enemy was not a powerful monster like the Eye Demon, but a lizard man, he might have been killed by a headshot. The vitality of monsters is very strong. They all have a natural monster level, and their racial attributes are much higher than ordinary extraordinary people.

hiss!
A sharp hissing sound was heard.

In the dungeon not far away, seven or eight stone blind barbarians holding heavy weapons rushed out in a mess. Strictly speaking, they were the parents and uncles of the Eye Demon Gauss, because the humans reincarnated by Gauss were their offspring, and they were later transformed into a race of Eye Demons through rituals.

"Fuck! It controls these blind barbarians!" Xiao En's situation suddenly became a little bad.

He was surrounded and beaten. The strength of the Gauss Eye Demon was much stronger than him, and now a group of stone blind barbarians appeared. If Xiao En was surrounded by the enemy, he would be dead. The stone blind barbarians were very stupid, but they were very strong, stronger than primitive people, and the huge clubs they swung could easily kill people.

To use the description in the game, grimlocks are barbarians with a strength of 18 or above.

You can't run away.

The weird kingdom is even more dangerous at night. Who knows what other powerful enemies Sean will encounter if he runs out. Moreover, the Eye Demon can fly naturally and can emit light remotely, so his flying spell may not help him escape successfully.

Even if you want to escape, you have to try first.

Fight!

After realizing that his chances of escape were slim, Xiao En did not retreat but instead charged straight towards the ferocious eyed demon in front of him. As he moved forward rapidly, a modified short-barreled shotgun appeared in Xiao En's hand. This was the most powerful firearm he currently had, and it could even kill a deformed werewolf with one shot. If he could blow up the enemy's central eye at close range, he would still have a chance to turn the tables.

——Dispel magic ray!
——Exhaustion ray!
——Paralysis ray!
As a mutant, Eye Demon Goss seemed to have the ability to attack multiple times. Its tactics were very targeted. After all, it was the nest lord of the Grey Eagle Kingdom in its previous life and had killed many spellcasters before. It started with a magic removal, which directly broke Xiao En's super vision ability. The surrounding darkness suddenly came. Without the blessing of super vision, Xiao En's vision was affected all of a sudden. Only the inspiration vision could lock the target's position.

He himself does not have night vision and cannot see in the dark.

——Mirror image technique!

Xiao En decisively cast a Mirror Image spell on himself, but the casting time during the battle was too short, and he didn't even have the chance to cast an energy deflection field.

The group of grimlocks were approaching, and Sean had no more than five seconds to do it.

——Dimension jump!
Xiao En's figure flashed out in an instant, and at the same time, the eight mirror images flashed along with him, as if they had also used dimensional jumping.

The Eye Demon not far away suddenly had a look of panic.

This script was a little different from what it had imagined, because in its imagination, the enemy should be trying to escape, or keep a distance and cast spells, because not many wizard-level spellcasters would rush up and engage in close combat with others.

After all, not everyone is Gandalf. The reputation of the violent swordsman Gandalf is so great that it resounds throughout many crystal wall systems.

Sean's abnormal behavior made the Eye Demon a little flustered. The Grey Eagle Kingdom is a world with a very advanced magical civilization. There are many spellcasters, and there are also some with abnormal behavior like him, but they are very rare.

"Could he be a spellcaster of Bigby's chain palm style?"

"not good!"

"He must know how to use the force field palm, so he wants to get closer to me!" Gauss Eye Demon instantly felt a sense of crisis and quickly stepped back to keep a certain distance.

Bigby's force field hand is very difficult to deal with, and even in the low ring there are many powerful force field spells.

The enemy's charging posture is a bit like Bigby's Strike Fist!

It can summon a huge, brightly colored fist the size of a human torso to appear in front of the enemy and give the enemy a powerful punch!
——Anti-magic force field!

Gauss's Eye Demon decided to strike first without hesitation. A strange invisible barrier spread out, followed by Sean's approaching figure in a dimensional jump. All the mirror images disappeared in an instant. The anti-magic force field suppressed all the strange objects and spells on Sean's body. Even the strange equipment he had obtained before was completely ineffective. The cold wind made him feel bitingly cold all of a sudden, and the blessing of the strange objects that allowed him to endure the environment was completely ineffective.

He is now almost naked, and all the magic items and spells are useless.

boom!
But what greeted the Gauss Eye Demon was not the force field hand it had guessed. Sean was not a force field battle mage from Bigby's faction at all. He flashed closer and raised his short-barreled shotgun to aim at the enemy's central main eye. With a dull bang, the Gauss Eye Demon closed its eyes and let out a scream of extreme pain.

——Scorching rays!
A high-temperature ray that caused burning damage hit Sean's chest, piercing through it like a laser ray, leaving a charred scar.

——Damage transfer! (Invalid)
Damn!

The anti-magic field is still in effect, so the damage transfer spell can't be used!

Sean was too close to the enemy's central magic eye. The Gauss Eye Demon took a bullet and actually forced open its central eye and reopened the anti-magic force field. Sean was still within the influence of the anti-magic force field and could not use any other spells.

At this moment, he shot and blew up the enemy's central main eye. The unexpected surprise attack caused both sides to suffer losses. Sean was seriously injured and dying, and Gauss's Eye Demon was also seriously injured and dying.

"I can win!" The Eye Demon Gauss roared in his heart as he saw the approaching Blindman.

Xiao En struggled to get up and wanted to launch a desperate attack.

But unfortunately, before Xiao En could continue to attack, the enemy swung a stick and knocked Xiao En to the ground.

It's a stoneblind barbarian.

These stupid human subspecies became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Sean's chance to fight back failed in an instant. His skull was smashed by the heavy club of the Stoneblind Barbarian. Brain and blood splattered out. After falling to the ground, he was smashed into a pool of meat paste.

pain! pain! pain!
It hurts so much! Even though he has died twice today, Xiao En still feels like dying!

The scene of death began to flash back.

Xiao En broke free from the pain of death and his brain immediately began to think of a new battle plan. He was just a little bit short just now. If the sudden darkness had not disrupted the rhythm of the attack, he might have succeeded in counterattacking.

If it weren't for the Stoneblind Barbarians causing trouble, he could at least have fought and died together with them.

Have the opportunity!
Xiao En's plan was to try to rewind his death. If he had no chance at all and was directly crushed and killed by the enemy, he might turn around and run away immediately.

He is constantly trying to develop uses for death regression.

The best method at the moment is to treat it as a prophecy spell two or three minutes in advance. Basically, in this extremely real prophecy, Xiao En can see the enemy's position, strength, trump cards and other information, and he has an absolute success rate.

If there really was no chance at all and he would be completely slaughtered by the enemy, he would use his margin of error to escape.

A lesser beholder who was reincarnated from another world.

Although Xiao En's strength is far inferior to that of the enemy, his fighting ability, relying on the power of firearms, gives him a chance to kill the enemy.
