The eldritch beholder looked at the two opponents she failed to constraint. She no longer had that haughty attitude from before Jack and the others arrived. With only 25% HP left, no one could blame her.

She cast Teleportation and vanished. She reappeared below them.

"She is trying to flee for her life,

" Arlcard uttered. His large bat wings flapped and he dove down chasing after the eldritch beholder.

"She has no fear for her life…,

" Broidrireg muttered. He also cast Teleportation and reappeared right next to the eldritch beholder.

Broidrireg slammed his body into the eldritch beholder but the eldritch beholder ignored him. She continued flying down with Therras in tow. A giant dark spear cast by her stabbed into Broidrireg's shoulder which still had the wound mark from Suzaki's giga flame burst. Broidrireg roared from the pain.

The eldritch beholder cast dark prison at Arlcard who was flying toward her. The vampire was trapped inside the dark-element cage. Arlcard struck the cage using his rapier and cast spells in an attempt to break the cage.

With its three opponents momentarily disabled, the eldritch beholder proceeded to fly down. She was pissed, pissed at Jack who was still inside her. She wanted to hurt him but she couldn't, so she decided to hurt his friends. She knew it would take time to hurt the three opponents fighting her. The army below, on the other hand, they were vulnerable to her spells.

There were two main targets down there. One was the mobile fortress. The other was the field command base with the war table. She knew it would take more effort to deal with the mobile fortress, so she chose the other target. Additionally, she saw a copy of that detestable person inside her at that field command base.

Jack's clone was there at Verremor's command base, protecting the war table with Kabaka. Peniel was with this clone, using her healing abilities in case enemies broke through. The clone's duration was going to end soon, though.

The eldritch beholder cast Telekinesis once she got into range. Clone Jack felt his body lifted against his will. His clone was without any buff. Without those buffs, he was powerless against the full might of the eldritch beholder.

While crushing Jack with her telekinesis, the eldritch added her offensive by casting a spell that conjured a dark fog that blanketed Jack's body. This dark fog exerted extreme pressure on Jack. Together with telekinesis, this spell caused damage numbers to appear above Jack every second.

Jack fought back by using long-range skills and spells. Mostly low-level ones, since the big ones were all used by Jack who was still inside the eldritch beholder.

Peniel used her healing skills to keep Jack's clone alive. The eldritch beholder countered by casting Dark Plaguing Spears. A volley of dark spears rained from the sky. These spears not only hit Jack but everyone down there, including Kabaka and Kima.

This Dark Plaguing Spears caused DOT after the initial damage upon impact. Aside from that, it also prevented the hit targets from getting healed or cured for a period. This prevention included the target's natural recovery abilities.

Without the ability to recover or receive healing, Jack's clone perished in no time.

The eldritch beholder turned her attention to Peniel, who immediately phased out and appeared next to Jack's other clone on the battlefield. She didn't go to Jack who was inside the eldritch beholder because she wouldn't last long from the dark energies inside. She would just end up spending most of her time hiding inside her hidden dimension. She could contribute better by accompanying Jack's clone.

The eldritch beholder knew that the Jack she killed was only a clone. The real one was still inside her, pissing her greatly. She had sensed the connection between Jack and the high fairy just now. Using the fairy to vent her frustration would have been ideal but the fairy fled before she could act.

She turned her attention to her previous target, the war table below. She cast a spell to hinder Broidrireg who was lunging from behind her. Arlcard was still trying to break out of the dark prison. The ranged soldiers below shot ranged attacks at her. Their magical attacks were ineffective. Their physical attacks dealt very little damage and she ignored them.

With no one stopping her, she cast Hellish Black Drill. This spell delivered high penetrative damage and had a high chance of wounding. It had killed one of the war chiefs, Katili Strongbone, earlier. She was aiming this spell at the war table.

Kima, who was behind the war table, was too shocked to move. She was not a combatant. She was more of a planner and organizer. That's why she was the one using the war table. She just stood there and watched when the black drill approached.

One orc didn't stay still. Kabaka jumped above the war table. He used his weapon and his body as a shield for the war table. His weapon was easily knocked aside. The black drill punctured into his body. It took out his entire left arm and half of his shoulder. Kabaka screamed in agony.

His sacrifice wasn't wasted. The war table would have been destroyed if it received the full damage from the hellish black drill. It was not in tip-top condition. It had suffered damage when the invading force was losing the war before the mobile fortress arrived. Kabaka's block had absorbed more than half of the black drill's power. When it hit the war table, it didn't produce full damage.

Broidrireg came at the eldritch beholder while she was assailing the war table. With a powerful tail swipe, he slapped the eldritch beholder up into the sky, away from the war table. The eldritch beholder's round body was like a giant ball getting a home-run hit. Broidrireg then flew after her to keep her from returning.

Jack's other clone arrived with Peniel then.

"Heal him!

" Jack told Peniel.

"I can't!

" She replied.

"The hellish black drill had an effect to refresh any debuff on its target. He had been hit by the dark plaguing spears earlier. He can't be healed or cured. The duration of that debuff has just been refreshed.

"

Jack looked at Kabaka. He still had HP but it was not much. The problem was his HP was still dropping. Both the Hellish Black Drill and the Dark Plaguing Spears had DOT, and Kabaka had been hit by both. From the looks of it, Kabaka's remaining HP won't be enough to survive the DOT's full duration, and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
