To the many adventurers in Anril, the Evil Eye was probably one of the most difficult to deal with among the level-18 magical beasts. Most of them lived in the dark and damp underground. For example, some of the High Elves' ruins that had sunk underground were often turned into nests by the Evil Eyes. Even if these High Elves' ruins were discovered by adventurers, they would most likely be labeled as forbidden grounds because it was really too dangerous …
The Evil Eye itself was a level-18 magical beast. Ordinary adventurers could not afford to provoke it at all. Furthermore, they also had the damned habit of living in groups. This was the truly fatal part. Tens or hundreds of Evil Eyes living together, and once provoked, it would be like poking a hornet's nest. How many adventurers would dare to touch this bad luck?
Not to mention ordinary adventurers, even a behemoth like the Silver Hand, which was known as one of the strongest mercenary corps in Felan, would not dare to enter deep into the High Elves' ruins that were occupied by a large number of Evil Eyes without the help of a few high-ranking priests. It could not be helped. This was no longer a problem that could be solved by command and tactics. No matter how well-trained and disciplined they were, they could not make up for this absolute difference in power.
The Evil Eye's most powerful weapon was its eight tentacles that were harder than steel and more agile than fingers. Usually, they would use these eight tentacles to walk upright. That speed was like a gust of wind, and they could reach any target in an instant. Then, these eight tentacles would be like eight huge pythons, entangling the target tightly …
However, if anyone only paid attention to these eight tentacles and forgot about that single eye, they would not be far from being unlucky. The so-called magical beast was a wild beast that had talent in magic. Since the Evil Eye was a level-18 magical beast, it naturally had its own talent in magic. All of the Evil Eye's talent in magic came from that huge single eye.
The Evil Eye could use that single eye to emit the level-18 Scorching Light. The temperature of the Scorching Light was as high as a few hundred degrees. Wherever it passed, it could be said to leave nothing behind. Even thick steel armor would be pierced in an instant.
Of course, this wasn't even the most impressive part …
The true strength of the Evil Eyes was that they were adept at Mind Magic. A mature Level-18 Evil Eye could easily control the mind of magical beasts below Level-15. Although it would be more troublesome to deal with humans, human Adventurers below Level-10 would definitely not be able to resist it. Especially when tens or hundreds of Evil Eyes appeared, it would be impossible to defend against a large number of Mind Magic spells. Moreover, these Mind Magic spells were very difficult to be immune to. Unless there was a high-level Priest to provide a Mind Defense Barrier, it would be a disaster!
However, compared to the behemoth in front of them, these level-18 Evil Eyes were no different from ants …
Legend had it that the Evil Eye Tyrant was one of the few survivors from the prehistoric times. The war between the Wyrms and Titans had torn the sky apart and caused the earth to collapse. However, the Evil Eye Tyrant that lived in the underground labyrinth and was accompanied by the Minotaurs, the Minotaurs, was lucky enough to escape the calamity. It was only after the calamity that the Evil Eye Tyrant and Minotaurs reappeared in Anril. However, at that time, the ones that ruled Anril were no longer the Wyrms and Titans, but the High Elves that were born under the Tree of Eternity.
The appearance of the Evil Eye Tyrant and Minotaurs brought a complete disaster to the High Elves. A large number of High Elves were turned into ashes by the Scorching Light. If it wasn't for the protection of the Tree of Eternity, this race that was destined to create a glorious magic civilization might even have perished in that disaster.
Even the proud High Elves could not avoid this part of history. Records of this disaster could be found in many of the documents that were passed down from that era.
However, after this disaster, there seemed to be a gap in history. People only knew that after the war between the Wyrms and Titans ended, the remaining prehistoric magical beasts almost became the rulers of Anril. They even forced the newly born High Elves under the Tree of Eternity, and almost wiped out this almost perfect race.
In the end, the remaining prehistoric magical beasts and the newly born High Elves had a long and drawn-out battle under the Tree of Eternity …
As the long years passed, the truth of this war had long been lost in the long river of time. Now, even the most authoritative scholars from the Dark Age could not accurately say what exactly happened in that war. People only knew that the High Elves, who were one step away from being completely wiped out, actually managed to miraculously win in the end …
Moreover, after the war, the High Elves seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. After defeating the prehistoric magical beasts that besieged the Tree of Eternity, the High Elves started to launch a counterattack. Within a short span of 10 years, they had wiped out countless prehistoric magical beasts, including the Evil Eye Tyrant and the Viper Clan. Even the extremely powerful Minotaur Milotaurs was imprisoned in the underground maze forever …
Regarding this period of history, Anril had never had a very clear explanation. Even the authoritative High Elves like Andoine did not elaborate on this period of history. Now, the most authoritative and most agreed upon theory was that the one who saved the High Elves back then was the Immortal King. Absolutely, most people believed that it was this unprecedented powerhouse who single-handedly wiped out the Evil Eye Tyrant and imprisoned the Minotaur Milotaurs forever.
According to calculations, when the prehistoric magical beasts besieged the Tree of Eternity, it was not far from the time when the Immortal King first appeared in Anril.
As for what the truth was, perhaps only the Immortal King himself knew …
However, there was one thing that was certain. That war had indeed wiped out almost all the prehistoric magical beasts. Be it the Evil Eye Tyrant or the Viper Clan, they had all disappeared after that war, and had never appeared in Anril since then. Only Milotaurs, who had been imprisoned in the underground maze forever, would occasionally appear in some legends …
But, what else could the massive creature that appeared in the Spacetime Beacon Spell be if not an Evil Eye Tyrant?
Lin Li rubbed his eyes. He did not dare to believe what he was seeing …
What the hell, it was not an illusion. This was really an Evil Eye Tyrant!
Dozens of tentacles that were more than 100 meters long, a head that was as huge as a hill, and a huge eye that was always shining with a cold light. Everything was exactly the same as the legendary Evil Eye Tyrant …
"F * ck, it really is an Evil Eye Tyrant …" Lin Li instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. When he looked at Tutankhamun, his eyes were filled with doubt and confusion. Wasn't the Evil Eye Tyrant race already wiped out by the High Elves? Why would it appear in the Sunset Mountains at the end of the Dark Age?
"I don't know."
"…"
"I did not experience everything that happened back then personally …" Tutankhamun seemed to be especially patient at this moment. After answering Lin Li, he seemed to be worried that Lin Li would not believe him, so he very patiently explained a few more sentences. "Everything that you see now was recorded by Geresco using the Spacetime Beacon Spell. I merely used the coordinates to recreate the situation back then. If you want to know the truth, I guess you can only ask Geresco yourself …"
Just as the two of them were asking and answering, the battle in the Spacetime Beacon Spell had already become abnormally intense. One was a ferocious prehistoric magical beast, and the other was an unprecedented God of Mages. The battle between the Evil Eye Tyrant and Geresco was destined to be earth-shattering from the start.
Twelve ice pillars that could hold up the sky could not stop the Evil Eye Tyrant. Almost at the moment when the tentacles collided with the ice pillars, the Evil Eye Tyrant's single eye also lit up with a bit of light …
This bit of light was the Scorching Light that every Evil Eye was good at. However, the same Scorching Light was a completely different concept when used by an Evil Eye and an Evil Eye Tyrant. The Scorching Light of an Evil Eye was only a few hundred degrees hot, and it was already a glorious achievement for it to instantly penetrate armor forged from steel. If it were to encounter magical metals like the Eternal Adamantine, it would also be useless. However, the Scorching Light of the Evil Eye Tyrant was completely different …
Dozens of tentacles propped up, and that humongous head that was like a hill immediately raised up. Following that, a light that was even more dazzling than the sun exploded. In an instant, it swept across a distance of a few hundred meters. In an instant, there was a soft sizzling sound in the forest. Countless trees were instantly vaporized under the light, and even the ground under their feet was left with a deep ravine that was a few hundred meters long …
Even the noble God of Mages, Geresco, had no choice but to focus in the face of this destructive light. Geresco hurriedly and quickly chanted a spell. Following that, a seven-colored rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky. This rainbow was not biased, and just happened to be like a circle that protected Geresco firmly.
Following that, there was a loud bang. The confrontation between the Scorching Light and the seven-colored rainbow was like Mars colliding with Earth. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. The dazzling light almost lit up the entire world, and countless flames fell from the sky. This scene was even more terrifying than the Black Current from before.
After the rumbling echo, there was a short period of silence. Be it the Evil Eye Tyrant or Geresco, they both needed some time to digest the confrontation just now.
From the scene shown by the Spacetime Beacon Spell, the confrontation just now should have been a stalemate. The seven-colored rainbow dissolved the attack of the Scorching Light, and at the same time, dimmed a little.
"Impressive …" Lin Li could not help but gasp in admiration when he saw this. The power of the Evil Eye Tyrant was indeed not something that any Legendary magical beast could compare to. Even a Sanctuary powerhouse like Apophis might not be a match for it.
One had to know that the seven-colored rainbow just now was very likely Geresco's Magical Domain. The attack of the Scorching Light could actually cause damage to Geresco's Magical Domain, causing its light to dim a little. Just this point alone was far from what an ordinary Legendary magical beast could compare to. No matter how strong an ordinary Legendary magical beast was, it would not be able to harm the Magical Domain of a Legendary-mage, much less an almost perverted existence like Geresco.
At this time, Lin Li even secretly guessed that in the confrontation just now, Geresco might even have suffered a little …
After all, the Scorching Light only consumed mana. Although the Evil Eye Tyrant was not famous for having a large amount of mana, it should not be a problem for it to release hundreds of Scorching Light. However, once the Magical Domain was damaged, it would need a very long time to be completely repaired. Especially for a Magical Domain like Geresco's, it was especially difficult to repair.
The facts proved that Lin Li's guess was indeed right …
After the Scorching Light was dissolved by the seven-colored rainbow, the Evil Eye Tyrant only paused for a moment before it blasted out another Scorching Light.
The most terrible thing was that when the Evil Eye Tyrant released the Scorching Light, those dozens of tentacles were not idle either. They continuously attacked Geresco from all kinds of unimaginable angles. That kind of terrifying power and technique was almost comparable to a Sword Sage above level-20.
And at this time, Geresco finally displayed his magical power that did not belong to a human. With the support of the Power of Flight, Geresco was like a black bolt of lightning as he continuously flipped and moved among the dozens of tentacles. He was constantly moving at high speed and casting magic at all times. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Lin Li would never believe that there was actually a human in this world who could cast magic while moving at such a terrifying speed …
Moreover, every magic spell could not be any faster. Legendary-level spells above level-20 could be casually completed with just two or three incantations. There were a few times when Lin Li thought that Geresco was only casting some low-level spells. It was only until the spells exploded on the Evil Eye Tyrant's body that Lin Li had no choice but to believe that it was indeed a Legendary-level spell that could make most mages exhaust all their mana …
With streaks of Scorching Light, the battle seemed to have entered a stalemate. Be it the Evil Eye Tyrant or Geresco, they did not show the slightest sign of fatigue. If one were to look at the surface, one would think that this would be a long and drawn-out battle.
However, Lin Li would not think so, because he knew that Geresco's Void of the Stars was about to be completed …
"Boom …"
Another Scorching Light swept across, leaving a deep ravine on the ground. But this time, Geresco did not use the Power of Flight to dodge. Instead, he recited the incantation unhurriedly and summoned 12 huge icicles.
With a loud "boom", the 12 icicles instantly shattered into countless pieces …
But at the same time, Geresco's figure suddenly became blurry.
That's right. After a tough battle, Geresco finally completed the Void of the Stars, and once again placed his body and soul in the void.
"Indeed …" Lin Li knew that Geresco would definitely win.
At this moment, Geresco was almost an invincible existence. He was completely unharmed by all the magic and sharp swords in the world, and he would not suffer from situations like mana exhaustion or mana backlash. Even his control of the magical elements would become as easy as he wanted with the Void of the Stars.
With the release of the Void of the Stars, Geresco's casting method had completely overturned Lin Li's understanding of magic. Every time he attacked, it was at least a level-20 spell, and all of them were almost instantaneous. It was as if the elemental sequencing and control of mana had suddenly lost their effect on Geresco. He did not need any time to prepare at all. With just a wave of his hand and a kick, he blasted Legendary spells out one after another.
Even though Lin Li was already mentally prepared, he could not help but be stunned after witnessing such a perverted way of casting spells. This was not a magical power that a human should have. At this moment, Lin Li suddenly felt that the title "God of Mages" was extremely appropriate. This was because only a true god could control magical power in such an unimaginable way.
Geresco's casting speed was so terrifying. In just a little more than a minute, he had already released at least 10 Legendary spells. The massive amount of magical elements that were enough to destroy heaven and earth poured onto the Evil Eye Tyrant without reservation.
There was finally a trace of panic in the Evil Eye Tyrant's single eye. Prehistoric magical beasts were not ordinary magical beasts. Their intelligence was far above that of humans. How could the Evil Eye Tyrant not know that this human mage was no longer someone that it could contend against? Whether it was the steel-like tentacles or the world-destroying scorching light, all of their attacks seemed to have become childish tricks in front of that human mage …
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now. How could Geresco, who had finally gained the upper hand, give the Evil Eye Tyrant a chance to retreat? Relying on the protection of the Void of the Stars, Geresco's entire body seemed to have integrated into the magical elements. Powerful Legendary spells were summoned one after another, and landed mercilessly on the Evil Eye Tyrant's body.
When another Hellfire landed, Lin Li's gaze towards the Evil Eye Tyrant could not help but be filled with sympathy. The God of Mages was indeed the God of Mages. Even the legendary prehistoric magical beasts would not be able to escape the fate of death in front of this unprecedented and unparalleled mage …
However, just when everyone thought that Geresco was going to deliver a fatal blow, this God of Mages suddenly took out a magic staff and a book.
"What's going on?" Lin Li was instantly stunned.
Unfortunately, even Tutankhamun could not answer this question …
The magic staff was the Staff of Time, and the book was the Book of Eternity. As these two most famous magical equipment from the Dark Age were taken out, Geresco's expression became solemn. This God of Mages held the Staff of Time in one hand, and pressed the Book of Eternity with the other. Countless colorful magical symbols danced in the sky like countless colorful butterflies. Geresco chanted a large number of incantations. Some were in the common language, some were in the High Elves' language, and some were even in the ancient dragon language and Titan language …
The entire world seemed to have suddenly quietened down. A trace of fear suddenly appeared in the Evil Eye Tyrant's single eye.
Geresco quietly floated in the sky, and concentrated on chanting this unimaginably long incantation. When the last sentence of the incantation was shouted out, Geresco suddenly raised the magic staff in his hand, and lightly drew a line in the sky …
Then, the sky split open …
