There were many incomprehensible and dangerous creatures in the Astral Plane.
However, there were only two kinds of creatures that Søren hated. One was the legendary Abominations, which were the descendants of the dead gods. They were dangerous creatures full of destructive desires. The other was the Githyankis, a humanoid creature that lived in the Astral Plane. They were aggressive and warlike, and there were many of them. The possibility of encountering Abominations was relatively low because most of these divine monsters were sealed because they were too dangerous.
So, it was not surprising that they were the Githyankis that Søren hated the most!
The Githyankis were humanoid creatures that lived in the Astral Plane. They were born with powerful psionic spells. They used to be slaves of the Soul Suckers, which was the monster that ate the brains of intelligent creatures like the Beholder in the bards' stories. So, they were absolutely irreconcilable with the Soul Suckers. Basically, they would fight to the death whenever they met. The Gray Dwarfs had the same characteristics as them. They also hated the Soul Suckers, and many of them had their minds distorted because of the enslavement of the Soul Suckers. In the end, they gained powerful psionic powers.
It seemed that both races were like this!
The slaves of the Soul Suckers began to master psionic powers later on. Maybe it was because of the sequelae of mind enslavement. [Domestication, Enslavement, Slaughter. Soul Suckers.]
There were two branches of this creature, the Githyankis and the Githseleys. They hated each other as much as they hated the Soul Suckers. They were so bored that they would fight whenever they met. However, the Githseleys were very rare. They lived in seclusion in some unknown planes. On the contrary, the Githyankis were often encountered, and they were very difficult to deal with. Their highest leader was the Queen. They basically had no faith, so they did not have any priests. Because they believed that believing in the gods meant betraying the Queen.
The Githyankis were mainly warriors. Their weapons were the iconic silver swords, and one of their characteristics was to cut the silver thread. When the soul projection traveled between planes, there would be an invisible silver thread connecting his soul and body. If the silver thread was cut, the soul would be forced to return, and at the same time, it would cause a certain amount of damage. However, the damage would not be as high as if the soul projection died directly in the Astral Plane.
This race was very interesting.
Søren had always thought that they were a bit like the Protoss in StarCraft. However, their way of rule made Søren feel a bit like the Queen of Blades of the Zerg.
The Githyankis were strictly militarized!
They roamed the astral world, plundering and opening up new wastelands. They lived in astral world battleships or astral world fortresses. Such huge flying structures were a little like the huge military fortresses of the Interstellar Era. The Githyankis were notorious for plundering any creatures that could be plundered in the Astral Plane. They also liked to capture slaves. They would try to capture any enemy that was not a soul projection.
Because the Githyankis had psionic power like Soul Suckers, they could use a spell-like ability called [Mind Control]! (Test of Will!)
…
"Prepare for battle!"
A voice rang out in everyone's mind. Then, rays of magical light appeared one after another. Almost ten rays of magical light appeared consecutively, and in the end, even Søren was buffed with seven or eight protective spells. In the Astral Plane, any spellcaster could instantly cast spells below level 6, so the combat power of the Wizards here was quite amazing. However, instantly casting spells below level 6 also meant that their battle endurance would sharply decrease, and it was very likely that they would use up all their spell slots in a short while.

…
More than ten high-grade Northern Witches cast spells at the same time. How spectacular the scene was!
Standing around Søren were the ruling class of the entire Northern Region. They represented the highest combat power of the Northern Region and the ruling power of the Northern Region above the secular world. The magic aura in the sky was simply dazzling. The instant cast of spells below the sixth circle made them wrapped in various energy shields in an instant. At the same time, Soran was also affected by a lot of spells. These Northern Witches were not to be underestimated. They might look frail and delicate, but they could still wield their staffs with ferocity in close combat!
Gloria's expression was unprecedentedly dignified.
She took out a special staff from her body, which was inlaid with many gems. At the same time, she took out a large stack of Spell Scrolls with her other hand and put them in a place that could be accessed at any time. She was not the only one who did this. The other Northern Witches around her did the same. They held staves that stored more than ten spells and prepared a large stack of Spell Scrolls that they usually copied. Because if the next battle broke out, it was time for them to throw out Spell Scrolls like crazy.
In contrast.
Søren looked like a country bumpkin!
Although he also had the ability to cast spells instantly, he didn't know many spells. Moreover, spell scrolls easily cost hundreds or thousands of gold coins. If he didn't have the ability to copy spell scrolls himself, it would be like throwing away a Desperate Gambit.
Hundreds of Kindler pieces were thrown out at once.
Twenty Kindler pieces weighed about one pound, so throwing out a Spell Scroll was equivalent to throwing out five kilograms of gold!
"Take it!"
Gloria put three Spell Scrolls into Søren's palm in a row, and then said with a serious expression, "You really shouldn't have come in with me. This is the Astral Plane. It's difficult for a Rogue to play much role here. Be careful later. If something goes wrong, use these Spell Scrolls. "
Mages had always been throwing money at people!
In just this round, more than a dozen Northern Witches present burned up tens of thousands of Kindler's Spell Scrolls.
Then they saw the space of the half-bitwall vibrate, and then a huge military fortress appeared in their sight. It passed through the silver torrent and appeared on the edge of the half-bitwall. With a strange psionic brilliance, it broke the independent rules of the half-bitwall and then squeezed in like a bubble. The half-bitwall had an independent plane law, which eventually formed a iris similar to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the power of this law was too weak to stop the Githyankis' War Fortress at all.
One figure after another leaped down from the sky!
They jumped directly from a height of hundreds of meters, then used psionic spells to reduce their speed in mid-air, and then landed on the ground of the half-bitwall.
Githyankis!
This was a race that was born with both magic and martial arts, with superb combat skills and powerful psionic power.
From the outside, these Githyankis had obvious human-like characteristics, but they looked very thin. They were about 1.8 meters tall and weighed about 170 pounds. These people had rough yellow skin, their hair was tied into small braids, the color of their pupils was dim, their ears were pointed, and there were saw-like bones on their backs. These Githyankis were well-equipped, all wearing first-class armor, and their weapons were silver blades. They had superb forging skills and could make many very special weapons and equipment.
The enemy moved very fast after landing!
Almost any Githyankis warrior had extraordinary strength and agility, and their explosive ability was far above that of humans.
"Githyankis [Astral Creature] (Grade 3)."
"Challenge Rating: 12, Personal Level: 15, Has Psionic Spells."
"Highest and Lowest Attributes: 24, 12, Total Attribute Points: 95-105."
"Special Abilities: Psionic Spells, Mind Control, Astral Creature."
"Challenge Difficulty: A +."
…
This was the challenge difficulty of adult Githyankis.
However, they often lived in groups, so if they encountered a group of Githyankis, the challenge level would increase sharply, and the difficulty might even rise to S +!
And Søren had been feeling uneasy after seeing them.
Because there were so many Githyankis, it must mean that there was a queen leader, and there was another quite dangerous creature.
Red Dragon!
Githyankis had a racial characteristic.
They could have abilities similar to [Dragon Covenant], and this special ability was called [Red Dragon Agreement]!
"Red Dragon Agreement: There is a special racial agreement between the Githyankis and the Red Dragon, so that they can sometimes let the Red Dragon temporarily serve the Githyankis like a horse, as long as they pay the corresponding price. When the Githyankis trade with the Red Dragon, they will get a + 4 racial bonus in the negotiation check. In a large group, the Githyankis can reach a temporary alliance agreement with the Red Dragon, which can be decided by the Githyankis' governor and queen! "
A sharp whistling sound was heard.
It seemed that what Søren was worried about finally happened!
From the sky above the Githyankis' war fortress, the figure of an adult Red Dragon appeared. It looked at the witches below with cold and evil pupils, then opened its mouth and roared. Then, it swooped down from the war fortress. When it was close to 300 meters above the ground, it flapped its dragon wings and soared into the sky. The Red Dragon hovered in the sky of the half-plane, but it was not in a hurry to attack the witches below. On the contrary, it had been deliberately keeping a distance. It seemed that it intended to let the Githyankis below consume their spells first.
A dragon's aura spread out!
As the most powerful adult Red Dragon among the Chromatic Dragons, its size, strength, and spellcasting ability were far superior to the white dragon that Søren dealt with.
It had the combat power of more than three adult white dragons!
