Artificer Adventure Guide

That night, Carl was full of spirituality and successfully became a level 1 warrior.

Level 1 warriors have the [Recovery] feature, which allows them to store extra energy and use it to recover from injuries or restore physical strength.

In terms of "continuous combat" ability alone, warriors are much better than barbarians.

The strength and explosiveness of barbarians are indeed difficult to deal with, but it is not impossible to deal with.

If a warrior fights a barbarian, as long as the barbarian cannot defeat the warrior in the first time, he will be dragged into a protracted battle by the warrior.

The number of times a barbarian can go berserk is limited, and after each berserk, their bodies will enter a short state of weakness.

It is true that barbarians are resistant to blunt, piercing and slashing damage during berserk.

But resistance will not always exist. The less you pay attention to this during berserk, the more you will be backfired during the weak period after berserk.

...

As the Nautilus spacecraft of the Mind Flayer destroyed the entire mushroom forest, the defense facilities on the goblin side were also being prepared in full swing.

It was during this period that the entire dungeon came to the so-called "summer".

The influence from the plane of fire has descended on the dungeon.

The fire element in the air has become extremely active and abundant, and the temperature in the dungeon has risen sharply. Some areas close to the lava have even reached a terrifying 50 degrees.

The Nautilus spacecraft of the Mind Flayer has inevitably been affected to a certain extent.

Under the high temperature, the living tissue inside the Nautilus spacecraft has become "lazy", and the response speed of both the tentacles outside and the various components of the spacecraft has been visibly reduced.

On the other hand, the Fury Tribe.

Because they have always lived in the lava area, although they are short-sighted, their heat resistance is first-class.

The high temperature in the woods is even cool for them.

However, the impact of high temperature on the current situation in the dungeon is not only these.

Because the activity of the living tissue inside the spacecraft has decreased, the main brain that has been controlling the hobgoblin Mind Flayer through offline control has also begun to have problems with the connection with the Mind Flayer.

At "noon" one day, during the most active period of the fire element, the hobgoblin Mind Flayer woke up from his slumber.

…

“Woo——”

Above the mushroom forest, the Nautilus spacecraft, which had been absorbing the energy of the giant mushroom, finally stopped running.

Its four tentacles drooped weakly, and the orange-red pattern around the spacecraft became dim.

Inside the spacecraft, the hobgoblin mind flayer who had broken free from the psychic amplifier looked at the core control room that had changed drastically, with an uncertain expression on his face.

Although his consciousness had been sleeping during this period, he had already known what had happened during this period through the reading of his brain by psychic power.

Looking at the "psychic amplifier" in front of him angrily, the endless anger burned the mind of the hobgoblin mind flayer, making him want to destroy everything in front of him.

No one likes to be controlled by others, and the mind flayer who plays with psychic power is naturally even more unwilling.

The general mind flayer is innately in the hive mind of the main brain, so although it resists the main brain's active influence on its behavior, it will not resist too much.

But this hobgoblin mind flayer is a mind flayer that has never been controlled by the hive mind since birth, and is considered an innate "independent individual".

So after discovering that he was controlled by a mastermind that he didn't know and did a series of things, the hobgoblin mind flayer immediately wanted to resist.

This is not a fantasy.

Although the mastermind's influence on the mind flayer is very effective, the consciousness inside the mastermind is not activated now. If it can't use the body of the hobgoblin mind flayer, the mastermind is equivalent to a brain in a vegetative state.

And if the mastermind wants to borrow the body of the hobgoblin mind flayer now, it can only rely on the psychic amplifier.

No, it's not quite appropriate to call it a psychic amplifier now. In fact, this thing is just a connector that allows the user to connect to the mastermind.

The reason why the psychic amplification effect occurs is because the mastermind plays a role in this process.

"Guji~"

Just as the hobgoblin mind flayer slowly raised his palm and prepared to cast a destructive spell on the chair in front of him, the door of the guard room in the core room suddenly opened, and a brain-eating monster much larger than its peers walked out of it.

"Respected sir, it is not a good idea to destroy the main brain now."

Driven by psychic energy, this Mind Flayer creature actually tried to make suggestions to the Earth Elf Mind Flayer.

Psionic fluctuations lit up in his eyes, and a mage's hand was released silently. The large Brain Devourer was directly slapped away by a force and hit the wall beside him.

The pervasive psychic energy invaded the mind of the Brain Devourer, and the mental barrier built by the Brain Devourer using its own psychic energy was directly broken through.

The series of arrangements made by his "mother" for this Mind Flayer base were read one by one by the Earth Elf Mind Flayer, and he, who was about to be overwhelmed by anger, calmed down all of a sudden.

"Did you deliberately choose the Earth Elf in the dungeon to become a Mind Flayer?"

The tentacles on the chin were intertwined and twisted, and the Earth Elf Mind Flayer looked at the slowly climbing Brain Devourer and asked in a cold tone.

"This is the master's order, sir. It is also the master's arrangement for you to become a mind flayer arcanist. The master is the only one you can rely on. The mind flayers outside will spare no effort to kill you when they see you."

Prostrating himself at the feet of the hobgoblin mind flayer, the brain devourer honestly recounted the arrangements made by the presumably dead mind flayer.

The goblins were chosen as the transformation material in order to make the new mind flayers use psychic energy flawed, and the brain reserves inside the base would force the new mind flayers to go out and look for intelligent life.

In this way, the new mind flayers would definitely clash with the goblins outside.

In this way, the data of the mind flayer arcanists stored in the database would be noticed by the new mind flayers.

Even if they didn't notice it, this large brain devourer would find a way to guide it.

This series of plans was actually quite rough, and many of them had unexpected changes.

But perhaps it was precisely because of the roughness that things eventually developed to this point in a special way.

Staring at the brain devourer on the ground, the hobgoblin mind flayer clenched his claws and wanted to kill it directly.

But when he thought of his current state of being the enemy of the world, he finally held back.

"I will not let the main brain control my body anymore. I will solve these problems in my own way. Don't worry, I will revive the consciousness of the mother from the main brain, provided that you help me."

Quickly accepting the reality that he has been "arranged" by others since his birth, the earth elf heart flayer bent down and tried to speak to the brain eater in a calm tone.

The main brain is connected to the Nautilus spacecraft. If the main brain is destroyed, the spacecraft will naturally collapse.

Even for this spacecraft, the earth elf heart flayer cannot leave the main brain alone at this time.

But he doesn't want to be the character sitting on the psychic amplifier.
