It wasn't that he couldn't avoid it, but he wanted to experience what the taste would be if he were hit by a beam. Although the consumption of mana was severe, the magic shield was still maintained, circulating a silver glow on his body.
As expected, it wasn't too bad. This beam was blue. After taking a hit, he grimaced in pain. Not only were his internal organs filled with an intense burning sensation, but this beam also carried a "gravity augmentation", a negative attribute which made him feel as if his legs were weighed down like lead.
The Evil-eye Tyrant has twelve individual tentacles and a primary eye that can control the minds of others. At just over one third of his combat power, it proved to be a formidable opponent for the magical beast - a first of its kind.
