I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 173 War Resumes
The piercing alarm suddenly shattered the tranquility of the wizard camp, interrupting Jemin's further in-depth study of the lava giant.

The alarm was raised less than ten days before the landing operation, a much shorter interval than expected.

News from the intelligence center indicates that the lava giant Karamos and the Yeti King Agron, these two level-six beings, have once again amassed a massive army and launched a full-scale attack on the wizard camp like an unstoppable torrent!

The location of the wizard camp was chosen with strategic considerations from the very beginning.

It was deliberately built at the border of the Fiery Sun Realm and the Frosty Dark Realm, on the edge of that massive mountain range permeated with chaotic energy fields.

This location puts wizards in a predicament where they would face attacks from both sides by two hostile races once war breaks out.

However, this was not an accident, but a deliberate arrangement by the wizarding leadership.

As is the usual practice of wizards: only by giving the enemy hope and making the natives mistakenly believe that there is an opportunity to take advantage of them will they launch continuous attacks, constantly throwing their own forces into the meat grinder set up by the wizards, thereby achieving the goal of depleting their life force.

But the wizards weren't idle during this time.

It not only strengthened the camp's defenses, but also upgraded the initial temporary fortifications into rune walls and energy barriers.

The more important task for combat wizards is to completely replenish, and even greatly increase, the cannon fodder lost in the previous landing battle!
The wizards' bio-beast gene pool and puppet factories were operating at full capacity, producing several times more cannon fodder legions than before in a short period of time.

These cold tools surged toward the front of the camp like a tide, ready to fight at any moment.

Compared to the brief skirmish in the sky before, the power of the two monster races in the Frostfire Plane was even more astonishing this time.

After all, aerial combat requires specialized experts or air units, which inherently limits their effectiveness.

At this moment, fighting on solid ground is what both races excel at.

Their legions surged in like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, causing the earth to tremble, fire and frost to mingle, and even the distant sky was tinged with an apocalyptic color by their respective elemental energies.

This time, in addition to more and stronger elite generals and elite troops than during the previous landing battle, each race also had several million ordinary soldiers at the peak level one!
The legion of lava giants consists of ordinary lava warriors, who are enormous and incredibly strong. They wield burning giant hammers and rock shields, stomping on the scorching earth and letting out deafening roars.

The Yeti Legion consists of giant frost hounds and fur-clad Yeti hunters, moving silently through the snow and ice, their claws flashing, ruthless and deadly.

Moreover, this is not the limit!
According to intelligence relayed by wizards who had ventured deep into enemy territory, monsters were continuously surging towards this area from even further away.

Lava giants surged out of the lava tunnels underground, while Yetis emerged from the depths of the glacier in an endless stream, like a swarm of ants.

The two hostile races combined probably have hundreds of millions of reserve troops!

This means that the wizards are facing a massive, unimaginable local military force. Even if they are inferior to the wizards in individual quality, their numerical advantage cannot be ignored!

"Everyone! Prepare for battle!" The wizard Augustine's cold voice resounded throughout the camp. He stood atop the command tower, his body surging with laws, appearing both extremely small and incredibly powerful.

At the command, the wizard camp instantly transformed into a fully operational war machine.

The golems forged from metal and bones, and the bio-beasts formed from the fusion of countless otherworldly creatures, emitted silent or low roars.

They formed two neat lines and charged forward without hesitation, braving the lava giants' charge and the yeti's rain of arrows.

They have no fear, no retreat, only pre-set commands—charge, exhaust, until destruction.

A torrent of flesh and steel collided violently with a storm of lava and frost!
Boom!

The massive impact instantly ignited the battlefield!
Dense explosions continued along the front line, with scorching lava and icy ice shards flying everywhere. Corrosive acid and highly toxic ice fragments mixed together, creating a deathly inferno.

The lava giant swung its massive rock fists, bombarding the bio-beasts and golems relentlessly. Each attack was accompanied by a spray of lava, tearing flesh and smashing steel.

However, the golem's core continued to flicker, and the shattered remains of the bio-beasts writhed rapidly. Undeterred by death, even with their limbs mutilated, they clung to their enemies, unleashing the last of their power.

On the other side, the Yeti army moved through the icy fog like ghosts.

Their movements were swift and silent, their ice crystal bows drawn taut, and whistling ice arrows rained down like a dense storm.

Each ice arrow possesses powerful penetrating force, easily piercing the energy shields of the wizard's cannon fodder.

Meanwhile, the strong and powerful Yeti warriors wielded their claws and ice axes, engaging in a fierce battle with the wizard's fleshy behemoth.

Ice blades clashed with bone spikes, producing a metallic clang, and blood and white ice crystals mingled on the battlefield.

The combat-type wizards also displayed their power at this moment.

They stood behind the second line of defense, casting various powerful spells to provide remote support.

Elemental energy surged in the air, magical runes intertwined into a net, and thick beams of energy pierced the sky.

Each hit triggered a small explosion. However, the monster army was vast in number and stretched an extremely long line. Even with the wizards unleashing their full power, they could only maintain the stability of the line and could not push back.

For a time, the situation remained deadlocked.

Just as the wizards and the monster army were engaged in a bloody tug-of-war at the front lines of the camp, far away in the heart of the lava giants' territory, in that region of rolling lava and towering volcanoes, a strange change quietly occurred.

Three seemingly ordinary active volcanoes have become the hub located in the core of the earth's veins.

At this moment, their tops, which had previously only emitted wisps of smoke, began to emit an eerie crimson light.

Countless lava giants, having expended countless efforts, secretly altered the flow of magma from the surrounding earth veins.

They channeled the magma, imbued with pure fire and earth energy, into the base of the three volcanoes like rivers, frantically recharging them.

A terrifying amount of elemental energy, so immense it was almost suffocating, was condensing inside these three volcanoes.

This is precisely the strategic weaponry of the Lava Giant race!

It is a powerful weapon that they secretly developed during their long war with the Yeti, capable of changing the local battlefield environment!

With sufficient energy filling them, the energy fluctuations inside the three volcanoes reached their peak.

The next moment, accompanied by three muffled booms, three incredibly thick crimson beams of light shot into the sky like three burning spears, directly blasting towards the area where the wizards and the monster legion were engaged in a bloody battle!
Three beams of light traced perfect parabolas in the air, landing precisely in the center of the battlefield, and then, almost simultaneously, burst outwards with a deafening roar!
A visible, ripple-like halo, mixed with terrifying heat, suddenly swept outwards from the three points of impact.

The temperature on the entire battlefield skyrocketed in an instant, reaching a suffocating thousands of degrees Celsius!
The sudden and extreme heat alone caused devastating damage to some unsuspecting wizard cannon fodder and monsters from the Frost Dark Realm!

The shells of some of the less durable bio-beasts and some of the golems instantly turned charred and curled under the high temperature of thousands of degrees, and the internal energy cores were rapidly overloaded.

Many of them let out a wail, emitted blue smoke, and then collapsed to the ground.

Those snow monsters, unable to withstand the high temperatures, let out even more piercing screams.

Their icy bodies melted and evaporated rapidly under the high temperature, turning into black liquid, with many turning directly into pools of blood.

The air was instantly filled with the pungent smell of burnt meat and the acrid odor of sulfur.

Even more despairing is that the desolate and dark ground at the border between the Fiery Sun Realm and the Frosty Dark Realm suddenly cracked under the scorching heat!
Vast swathes of scorching magma surged forth from the depths of the earth, like gaping wounds, turning the battlefield into a flowing sea of ​​lava!

In such an extreme environment, the lava giants, who were originally suppressed, thrived like fish in water!

They roared with ecstatic joy.

The scorching heat and flowing magma did not harm them; instead, they became the source of their power.

Their bodies swelled suddenly under the intense heat, and the lava blood flowing on their skin became even hotter and thicker.

Some lava giants have even evolved into a pure liquid lava form, freely moving through the magma as if they had become one with the earth.

Their bodies absorbed heat and magma from the surrounding environment, greatly increasing their strength in a short period of time!

In an instant, the previously evenly matched battle situation changed dramatically!
The horde of lava giants swept in, and with the magma gushing from the ground, they pushed back the wizard cannon fodder's battle line several kilometers with almost no effort!

The wizards' defenses began to falter on a large scale.

At the rear of the battle line, the lava giant Karamos was enveloped in a scorching lava storm: "Hahahaha!!! That's it! Get those guys in the back to charge up and keep attacking!"

His massive body, bathed in the three beams of red light emanating from the center of the earth, appeared even taller and more terrifying.

He commanded his lava giants to continue powering the three strategic volcanoes, ensuring that the advantage on the battlefield could continue to expand.

Kalamos gazed at the temporary defeat of the wizarding army and the ugly howls of the Yetis in the scorching heat, his eyes filled with smugness.

He was extremely proud of his move, which he believed could both severely damage those damned "white-haired monsters" and thwart the idea of ​​foreign invaders.

However, just as his triumph reached its peak, his entire massive body suddenly trembled violently!
This is not an external attack, but a warning sign from biological instinct, like the most dangerous premonition.

His keen intuition, as a level six being capable of communicating with the origins of planes, was now sounding a sharp alarm.

Karamos's usually dull biological instincts sensed that at this very moment, a terrifying force was quietly gathering at the center of the battlefield—below the torn spatial rift!

The power was so strong that it sent a shiver down his spine that he had never felt before.

"What the hell is that?!"
