Chapter 9: You Forced Me

What's more dangerous than facing a trapped dragon?

The answer is to face a dragon that is about to get out of trouble and regain some of its mobility!

Zuo Si knew very well that with the strength he currently possessed, facing an adult red dragon head-on was basically not much different from looking for death.

In particular, his previous move of wanting to sign a magic contract obviously angered the other party.

It is clear that the "negotiations" failed.

The red dragon, who has a strong revenge mentality, has long transferred his hatred for Asta to everyone in the entire mage tower.

After all, for her, those low-level undead creatures outside could not threaten her life at all.

Once the powerful magical bindings on his body have worn off, Vermes can fight his way through the defense of the sturdy dragon scales at any time.

As for whether the terrible plague outside would have an effect on a real dragon, this guy was obviously not worried at all.

Or rather, they haven't thought about it at all.

In the face of such a desperate situation, Zuo Si did not show even the slightest loss of emotional control, but instead changed his previous humble attitude, put away the magic scroll with strong binding force, and laughed at himself with a smile: "Okay, I now declare that Plan A has failed, and it's time to start Plan B." Remember, you forced me. ”

"Plan B?"

Seeing that instead of kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness and forgiveness, the little little dot in front of him released cruel words to threaten himself, the red dragon suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Hmmm! Yes. In addition to tricking you into signing this magical contract, I'm ready to resort to coercion if negotiations fail. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si stuffed the scroll back into his satchel and rummaged through it for a few seconds, then pulled out a glass bottle filled with an amber translucent solution.

In addition to the amber antiseptic liquid, the bottle was soaked in a large piece of soft tissue.

The torso is the size of an adult's palm and looks a bit like an octopus.

But near the brain and central nervous system, there are six metal clasps.

The surface of each clasp is inlaid with gemstones of different colors.

Underneath the torso are four octopus-like tentacles with barbed hooks at the ends.

I saw Zuo Si unscrew the sealed jar with extremely skillful movements, and use the [Awakening Creation] ability to endow this strange object with the most dangerous and powerful of all the magic items he made with his own hands.

Moment!

The soft tissue, which had no signs of life, came to life at once.

It twisted its slimy tentacles around its owner's arm to express the intense joy of its soul.

At the same time, the thing also emits some kind of energy fluctuation that is very different from arcane magic.

"You know what?

Whether it's a human or a dragon, the most vulnerable organ of most living things is the brain.

Because without the protection of the skull, even the slightest impact can cause irreparable damage to the brain.

The brain, on the other hand, controls the body through the neural networks that connect the spine to every corner.

That is, if the connection between the brain and the spine is severed, then replace it with a new controller.

Even if the creature remains conscious, it will lose control of its body......"

Zuo Si said as he took out a blue magic card.

【Magic Card: Enhanced】

[LV2 Blue Card (No Upgrade)]

[Card Quality: Rare]

[Effect: Strengthens the effect of an existing spell for 30 seconds.] The degree of enhancement is directly proportional to the level of the traveling mage, and the higher the level, the better the enhancement effect]

[To use this card, you need to pay two blue mana for the ocean, flow, and control, or two universal mana, or double for other types of mana]

[After this card takes effect, it will automatically enter the graveyard and wait for rebirth for two days]

Before Vermez could react, the magic on the card was activated.

Just a second later!

The red dragon, who had just stood up from the ground for less than two minutes, once again felt that the originally weakened binding circle on the ground had suddenly become more than twice as strong.

Her limbs simply could not withstand such tremendous oppression.

As a result, he fell with a thud and gnawed on.

The embarrassed look of annoyance and anger was really in stark contrast to the pride and conceit that were fixed on his face.

Due to the limited duration of the enhanced magic, Zuo Si was in no mood to stop and enjoy the ironic scene.

Quickly took out the [Flame Protection Elixir] and drank it, and then took the strange thing he had awakened, and walked straight towards the location of the dragon's head.

Perhaps sensing danger, Vermes struggled to open his mouth and let out a deadly breath of fire to force the other man back, despite his immobility.

Unfortunately, the strengthened Binding Circle is much more powerful than before.

Not to mention opening his mouth and spewing out a full dragon's breath, even half or even a third of the power could not be exerted.

In the end, after tossing for a long time, only a fan-shaped flame about two meters long erupted from between his teeth and nose.

Without exception, these flames were all absorbed by the energy protection barrier formed by the potion.

Unscathed, Zuo Si stepped on the embers of the flames, taking advantage of the gap between the dragon's breath and the time it took to rereplenish his energy, to place the octopus-like creature in his hand near the red dragon's eardrum.

In the blink of an eye, the sanity-endowed creature slipped through the ear hole.

Less than five seconds later, Vermes struggled frantically in horror and shouted, "No!!!!!! Get this damn thing out of my body! ”

"Sorry, it's late. It may hurt a little later, so please bear with me a little. Believe me, the process won't be long, and the pain will only be temporary. ”

With that, Zuo Si began to quickly retreat, intending to keep a safe distance.

As soon as you notice that something is wrong, you immediately turn around and run.

After all, it was also the first time he had used the special ability of the creator profession of [Awakening Creation].

I don't know if the dangerous creature will be out of his control if he succeeds.

If he hadn't been cornered, Zuo Si wouldn't have taken the risk of waking up and releasing the contents of that jar.

You must know that one of the main materials used to make that strange thing is the head of a monster called the Mind Flayer.

And the Mind Flayer has a great reputation, and I'm sure anyone who has heard of them understands how terrible and difficult they can be.

This evil creature that likes to eat brains and enslave other races through mind control is born with a power called psionic energy.

Most of the adventurers and ordinary people who do not wear psychic protective equipment will lose consciousness and become obedient slaves as long as they take a look at their faces.

Almost six months ago, after opening the portal, the necromancer Asta stumbled upon this group of monsters hiding in the sewers of a certain city with the intention of establishing a secret base.

After learning about the opponent's abilities and wearing the corresponding amulet, he easily bulldozed the half-built secret base by relying on the undead and the construct, which were completely unaffected by the psychic ability.

Most of these slaves and Mind Flayers were killed in battle.

Only four of the unlucky ones who were wounded and fainted became prisoners.

Zuo Si was fortunate enough to participate in the study of these captives.

When Asta loses interest in the Mind Flayer's body structure, he suddenly has a burst of inspiration, cuts open the mind Flayer's skull, which is only half a breath left, and uses the soft brain tissue and tentacles inside that are not completely dead, and creates a terrifying magical artifact.

It was envisaged at the time of design that the artifact would be awakened to gain some of the Mind Flayer-like abilities.

When it burrows into a creature's ear or nose and reaches the brain, it will try to cut the connection between the brain and the spine and replace it.

In this way, the thing can use the abilities it inherited from the Mind Flayer to discern what the signals transmitted from the brain mean and control them.
