Chapter 606 - 326: Has the Battle Ended?
A few minutes later.
Raine and his group followed Leonore, hidden under the shielding array, to the royal palace’s back garden.
However, as Raine looked at the exquisite garden before him, spanning thousands of square meters filled with flowers of various colors, he couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.
He realized he had underestimated the Kingdom’s grandeur.
"Such a delicate palace garden, it’s a shame if it gets destroyed," Princess Dongni couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Casualties are relatively controllable, otherwise, if it were any other place in the royal capital, it would cause greater deaths and panic."
"Raine and esteemed Dwarf Elders, please allow me to remind you once more, we still do not know the domain characteristics of the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’; when engaging in melee, be extremely careful, and retreat if necessary."
Leonore reminded once again.
"Understood, though it shouldn’t be a big problem." Raine smiled and said.
Upon hearing Raine’s words, Grenum and the other three Dwarf Elders stroked their long beards and also laughed.
"Mr. Rein has confidence, we also should not face major issues."
"Hahaha!"
"Mm, as long as you have confidence." Leonore smiled seeing Raine’s relaxed demeanor.
"But you don’t need to worry too much; in about a minute, Duke Musadi will return. He will use his domain to counteract the domain of the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’."
This is where the biggest difference between Legendary Powerhouses and Transcendent ones lies.
Domains, for Transcendent powerhouses, are almost an insoluble existence.
Only domains can counter domains.
"Shall we start now?"
"I’m fine on my side."
"We can."
As Leonore, Harold, and Chandler stood in the corridor on one side of the garden and began chanting softly, multiple points within the palace garden started showing energy fluctuations.
Immediately, beam-thick, pale blue rays shot toward a point in mid-air like focused lasers.
At this moment, suddenly!
Raine slightly squinted his eyes at the focal point of the ray in mid-air.
As someone who also mastered the Teleportation Spell, his sensitivity to subspace fluctuations was inherently high, coupled with having entered the extraordinary, Raine could feel the significant increase in spatial disturbances in front of him.
At this point, several meters in the air above the garden, a wave-like spatial ripple appeared, and a gigantic spherical creature with a diameter exceeding six meters and a flesh-colored body was squeezed out from subspace.
Like a pimple being squeezed out.
As another entity of Legendary Level, the eye demon, Raine suddenly discovered significant differences between the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’ and the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’.
Hillarack is a creature covered in flesh-colored membranes, whereas Zergelos is essentially an undead creature, leaving only bones and a giant eye.
Furthermore, in terms of the number of visible eye stalks, Hillarack has twelve agile eye stalks, while Zergelos, even counting the missing ones, only has eight.
But what shocked Raine and the others most was the next words spoken by the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’:
"Oh? Humans, you actually managed to reveal me."
With an extremely standard pronunciation of the common language and a sonorous voice, were one to listen with eyes closed, it would surely be mistaken for an advanced nobleman speaking.
Although the voice carried a hint of surprise, it lacked any fear!
Raine keenly noticed the rapid probing of Hillarack’s multiple eye stalks as he spoke.
With a movement of his mind, Raine squinted his eyes, holding his hammer and shield, and charged forward.
"Not a bad array, but trying to trap me might be somewhat challenging."
"Buzz! Buzz!"
As if discovering the cause, multicolored rays from Hillarack’s eye stalks shot towards the surroundings, hitting specific fountain statues, pools, flowers, and more.
"So quick! The opponent managed to find out our array’s nodes through illusions and disguises in just a few seconds," Harold, hidden in the corridor, changed his expression, exclaiming softly.
"Leonore, activate the backup array?"
"No! Wait a bit longer!" Leonore shook his head.
Judging from the opponent’s situation, it doesn’t seem like they’re eager to return to subspace.
Besides, if we’re forced to activate the backup array so soon, when the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’ truly attempts to escape later, there’ll be no means to stop it.
Central area of the garden.
"Oh? There’s someone actually coming to die." At this point, having broken through part of the imprisonment array, the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’, seemingly in a good mood, saw the charging Raine, and spoke with a slightly teasing tone.
"Then let’s have some fun."
As the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’s’ massive main eye flashed blue, suddenly, dozens of spellcasters of various races appeared around him, each holding staffs or magic staffs made of different materials and wearing magic robes of various colors.
The scene shocked everyone immediately.
"How can there be so many mages under spirit control?" Leonore’s expression turned serious, and his heart sank further.
"It seems this Giant-eyed Tyrant has a peculiar hobby!" Harold beside him also turned solemn.
The great explorer Valcara once left a classic description about the mutated ’Giant-eyed Tyrant’ within the eye demons—’Every Giant-eyed Tyrant harbors a dream of an empire within their heart.’
And the present Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’ is no different.
However, the opponent is even more extreme, choosing to leave behind mages of various strength levels as the foundation and citizens of his empire within.
How many territories, towns, and tribes must he have attacked to spirit control such a large number of casters?
