The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 343 Aboleth's Resentment
"Tabinakos still remembers very clearly that the poor little reptile roared arrogantly and made a funny face of courage to hide the fear in his heart. However, the omnipotent Tabinakos very It's easy to spot the truth in the psychic waves of the cunning reptilian."

"Just like you now, although your performance of pretending to be panic-stricken and timid and fearful is wonderful enough, but your mental fluctuations have deeply betrayed you. In fact, you are not afraid at all, but very calm and steady, just like the underground Unaffected by the hardest of rocks. How interesting, Tabinakos wonders, Reptile! Where does your fearless courage come from—"

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. When you become my bait, your memories and emotions will become the most delicious seasoning."

"But before that, Tabinakos will generously share Tabinakos' treasures with you—in a telepathic way..."

In an instant, before William had time to react, countless information and indescribable memory fragments rushed into William's mind, and William also knew the origin of this monster——.

They are real - nightmares beyond the River of Time itself.

They existed before all other races save their creators—mysterious beings unrecognizable to even the mightiest of immortal gods—the Elder Fouls.

They have unmistakable memories of every part of their history, from their birth all the way to modern times.

They have witnessed that the universe has experienced countless destructions due to unprecedented catastrophes of both natural and human factors, and after each destruction, the universe will gradually restore order and vitality.And they have always survived each such destruction.
They believe that the creation legends of all other races are but parodies of their own creation histories.Even the immortal gods are not immune to ridicule, for they are known to have appeared in this world before the gods.

——They are the aboleths.

Communicating telepathically with an aboleth is extremely dangerous for most intelligent beings.

The memory of the aboleth can be directly and completely passed on to its offspring, and then accumulated from generation to generation.In addition to the memories inherited from their ancestors, aboleths can also loot and spy on the memories of all creatures they eat.

If the human mind can be described as a river that passes through various lands and touches countless locations in the world, then the mind of the aboleth can be described as an ocean—a boundless, unfathomable , and all rivers must meet in this primordial ocean.

Such a huge amount of memory can immediately drive most creatures crazy except for a few creatures with special talents (including the aboleth itself), so any non-boleth creature that has a telepathic link with the aboleth , the metropolis was lost in the sea of ​​long and complicated memories of the aboleth, and became a puppet and slave controlled by its enslavement.

In any case, William is still a human being after all, so when he faced the forced mind link of the aboleth, his brain inevitably suffered a tragedy similar to an overload crash.Fortunately, William's will is tough enough and his mental power is strong enough. He was not directly enslaved, but temporarily fell into a coma due to the overloaded self-protection of the brain.

However, this did not make William out of danger. If no accident happened, William would still not be able to escape the fate of being enslaved by the aboleth and being devoured as a snack.

"Oh! Such a strong warrior's heart is really rare. Tabinakos is a little bit reluctant to eat you! The great Paskesses, what is this, a brand-new, never-before-seen Unknown planes that have been discovered..." Although the [Psychic Raid] did not complete the work, it finally knocked down the prey, and made unexpected new discoveries. Excited about the harvest.

But soon it roared angrily, "Prickly reptile, what are you doing? Stop! That's Tabinakos' prey—"

But it was the Manticore whose existence was almost forgotten.After the manticore surrendered to William bizarrely, he once again showed the almost deformed loyalty of the Manticore family.

The Manticore grabbed William's collar, dragged it up vigorously, flapped its wide wings and rushed towards the underground passage leading to the ground.An angry heart roared behind him: "No one can take away the riches of Tabinakos! No one! The eyes of the great Paschessis will always be on you, and your fate is sealed-as the tower Prey for Vinax. A stowaway from a faraway plane!"

Aboleth Tabinakos wantonly vented its resentment and resentment. As a master of the known history and records of the multiverse, Aboleth sensed the spirit of William when he launched the [Psychic Assault] Abnormality of the inner or soul.

In the aboleth race lore, Pasquetessis, the origin of the aboleth race, is described as a huge aboleth without tentacles and with mucus around its body the color of blood. fish.Aboleth believed that the Scarlet Queen traveled among the infinite possibilities of the universe, sowing her own "seeds" in each parallel universe she passed along the way, plundering its civilization and knowledge to satisfy her thirst for knowledge.

Every 12 years, there will be a "blood moon" in the sky of Faerun, and there are many legends about the "blood moon" from various intelligent races.Among them, the aboleth family called the image of the blood moon "the pupil of Paskeser Sith", and they believed that it was the beacon left in this world by the origin of the aboleth race. , and every time a "beacon" appears, it means that Paskesses has conquered a plane.

Losing William was far more than losing a puppet to Aboleth Tabinakos.A stowaway from another plane not only represents a delicious soul memory, but also contains information about a complete and mysterious alien civilization in the universe. For the aboleth family, it is an irresistible instinctive temptation.

Many things in this world are always full of bizarreness and coincidences, just like the aboleth did not expect that William would become the master of the Manticore.Unless he voluntarily submits, the Manticore will not be controlled by any spells or abilities. This is the reason why the Manticore and the Aboleth can coexist in the same area for a long time, and it also became a turning point for William to survive.

Although the aboleth Tabinakos was extremely angry, he could only watch helplessly as "the duck that just arrived at his mouth flew away" and was helpless.Although aboleths can survive and even walk on land, their speed will become the same as that of a turtle, let alone chasing a flying manticore.
