The Psionics Shield also failed under the Silent Lady, leaving the Mind Flayer no choice but to hastily raise its staff to block.
The enchanted blade struck the top of the staff dead on, cleaving the skull set into it in two.
The shattered staff burst apart at once. The psionics contained within ran wild, triggering a small explosion!
The shock wave sent shards of bone flying in every direction. They struck the plates of Mountain's Embrace with a series of metallic clinks.
The armor stopped most of the fragments. Only a few grazed Renato's cheeks, leaving shallow cuts.
Under the effects of the excess vitality stockpiled in his body, the cuts closed rapidly as his flesh writhed, before they even had time to bleed.
The Mind Flayer before him had a far less "comfortable" experience.
Its exploding staff had grievously wounded it. One flying shard sliced off a tentacle, and holes riddled its body. Silver Blood poured from every wound like water from a leaking jug, pooling on the floor.
The surrounding chambers lit up with holy golden light at the same time, and several healing divine spells descended on the Mind Flayer at once.
Its wounds healed visibly, the holes closing up. Fresh buds of flesh even began growing from the stump of its severed tentacle.
A green orb of acid fell from above, striking one of the chambers with precision.
The chitinous shell could not withstand the corrosive magic acid. White smoke quickly rose from its surface with a sharp hiss.
Before long, the shell collapsed, exposing the blackened flesh within, which the acid had also eaten into.
The unidentified creature inside the chamber, little more than a lump of flesh, squirmed a few times before falling completely still.
"Attack the 'Healing Device' first!" Klauthsura's psionic voice
