As a dense stream of experience notifications flashed through his mind, Anse's lips curled into a smile, but his spellcasting never stopped.
He did not even look at the ground. Estimating the distance from their flight speed, he hurled one Sunburst after another down below.
Indiscriminate bombardment!
The Nautiloid Ships that had kept up with them crashed one after another. The slower ones survived by sheer luck, but dared not approach.
The mutant mind flayers already had poor eyesight and relied mainly on psionic perception. Now they were practically half-blind, making pursuit and interception immensely difficult. Just then, Anse finally sensed an Overmind's psionic tendrils.
But the Overmind was underground. To attack Anse, it would have to expose its psionic tendrils to Sunburst and break through Star-Eye's warding barrier. It faced resistance at every turn.
"Defend!"
Over a hundred Six-Winged Spirit Dragons sensed the psionic fluctuations and immediately joined forces, shaping their psionics into protective fields and weapons to fight the Overmind. After several probing exchanges, Anse severed the Overmind's psionic tendrils. Having suffered a minor loss, it withdrew again.
"I'll pilot the ship."
Gong Qin had roughly grasped Anse's plan and volunteered to take on more responsibility.
"All right. Just fly around in circles."
Anse was happy to have less to worry about. He concentrated on casting while remaining alert for surprise attacks from the Overmind. The combined psionic power of over a hundred Six-Winged Spirit Dragons was indeed formidable, but its quality was lacking. It still was not enough to contend with an Overmind.
As Anse bombarded the ground with spells, he kept an eye on the Overmind's movements.
Occasionally, he tossed down a few Meteor Swarms, focusing on buildings that looked more important.
Most mind flayer buildings were underground, so Sunburst was not particularly effective. But its
