GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2351: Death Stare Vs. Mental Armament.

If the two large wings that the psychic shrieker possessed were counted as part of its limbs, then it would have six limbs, not four.

These abundance of limbs is why the two fore limbs attached to its chest being useless didn’t matter much to thr psychic shrieker. Unfortunately, the psychic shrieker couldn’t use its large wings to fly because they were bound to.

The psychic shrieker also got a good look at them. Its large single eye on the top of its beaked face was staring intensely at them.

It looked like it wanted to eat them. But it was willing to do what needed to be done to eat them. It attacked him as soon as it determined that they were its enemies.

As a creature of the pathway of telepathy, it didn’t need to move to attack its enemies. All it needed to attack was its mind, so the binding spreading all over its body didn’t hinder it at all.

It used Death’s Stare on them, which is a mental attack that is performed through its eyes. The attack is similar to those of Mental Armament, but it can only attack beings that its single eye is focused on.

The mental attack flew out of its eye and struck them. Throughout the process, the attack was invisible. So those who were ignorant of the psychic shrieker’s capabilities would think that a single stare from it was capable of killing people. That’s where the name of this move came from.

Unfortunately for it, Legion was not ignorant and was not weak, so Death’s Stare didn’t work on them. The mental attack was a hammer that flew like an arrow and smashed onto their mind with the force of an explosion, but the shield that they had prepared stood its ground.

They had crafted the shield with the Mental Armament divine ability. It was in the shape of a sphere, so it covered their minds from every direction.

The shape of the sphere was very important because when the psychic shrieker realized that its straightforward attack had failed, it decided to change its tactics.

With this decision made, the mental attack in the shape of a hammer changed its shape into that of a snake with multiple heads. The heads of the snake crawled all over their shield looking for a vulnerable point to take advantage of.

Creating and maintaining an all-encompassing spherical shield is more difficult than creating a small, flatshield to resist an attack. But if they had created the small flat shield, the mental snake would have been able to bypass the shield and strike their minds from behind it.

This move failed again. So the psychic shrieker changed its tactics again.

It controlled the heads of the snake to return to the body of the snake and fuse with it until the whole snake became a round ball. Then it controlled the round ball of mental energy to explode.

The mental ball exploded and released all of its power at point-blank range on the shield. This caused the shield to crack and begin to split.

Unfortunately, the explosion wasn’t enough to crack the shield completely and reach their minds because the shield was very thick.

The psychic shrieker created another attack, but the shield was already healing. Legion had also begun attacking the psychic shrieker.

Legion was using Mental Armament to create mental attacks to strike the psychic shrieker. They were doing this while simultaneously defending their minds from the barrage of mental attacks from the psychic shrieker.

The psychic shrieker was an expert telepath. It knew how to attack well and also how to defend its mind against mental attacks.

Even if it didn’t know how to create shields, all it needed to do was copy what they do to defend themselves from its attacks. It was intelligent, so it could do that easily.

For a while, the two of them couldn’t gain any advantage against each other. To a bystander, they were just standing still and silently looking at each other with animosity. They didn’t appear to be close to blows yet.

But in the mental world, attacks were flying back and forth between them. Their attacks were exploding and there. Shields were cracking and being replaced all the time.

The two of them were basically doing the same thing because the two of them were smart enough to copy each other’s move. And because the two of them were evenly matched in terms of spiritual power, an outcome to their mental battle will not be easy to achieve in a short time.

The battle had devolved into a battle of endurance. Whoever ran out of spiritual energy first would be the one to lose.

Legion was confident that they would win the battle because they were sure that there was no way that anyone at the same rank as them would be able to compare to them in terms of spiritual energy capacity.

But they didn’t want to wait so long for an outcome. They wanted to end the fight as soon as possible, and they also didn’t want to leave anything to chance.

They wanted to make sure that they would win, so while attacking the mind of the psychic shrieker and also defending their minds, they sacrificed part of their life energy to create a blood limb. Then they attacked the psychic shrieker with the blood limb.

It was already impressive that they could attack and defend at the same time. That is something that many epic godclads would find difficult to do, especially in the thick of battle like theirs.

But they have three consciousnesses in charge of the pathway of the telepath, so they were able to handle simultaneous attack and defense easily.

They also had consciousnesses in other pathways, so they were able to do the impossible and use the divine abilities of two pathways at the same time.

The psychic shrieker was already bound up, so it couldn’t escape or avoid physical attacks. It could only intensify the mental attacks while the blood limb snaked its way over to it and pierced its body.
