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

Chapter 183 Underground Battle (Part 1)

They sensed a continuous stream of lava giants gathering, and even enemies were constantly stomping on the ground to release shockwaves in order to check the cave.

Knowing he couldn't hide there for long, Jemin pulled out a level four defensive artifact to cast a shield on himself, and then decisively rushed out of the cave where he had been hiding.

As Jemin leaped from the ground and charged into the fiery battlefield, the pungent smell of sulfur mixed with the stench of burning rocks instantly assaulted his nostrils.

He saw that the level two wizard was being suppressed by a level three lava giant and was in a precarious situation, with more than ten level two lava giants around him providing fire support.

Another first-level wizard was also being chased and forced to retreat by a group of enemies.

However, Jemin, who rushed into the battlefield, showed no impulse at this moment.

He had already analyzed the current situation before he came out.

The level 3 lava giants hidden deep within this gathering point are currently locked in combat with the level 2 wizard. Adding to this the entanglement of numerous level 2 lava giants, and the amplifying effect of the extremely high temperature environment on the lava giants…

If we were to continue fighting here, even if he joined the battle and won, it would be an incredibly painful and inefficient struggle.

"Continuing to fight will cause a lot of trouble, and this place is too small. Even if we really have to fight, we absolutely cannot fight here!" Jemin made a quick decision in his mind.

In this deep underground cavity, the lava giant can absorb heat from the earth's veins, greatly increasing its strength.

Only by dragging the battlefield outside, thus depriving them of the support of the underground high temperature, can their strength be greatly reduced.

Moreover, his strongest escape trump card—the "transformation into light" ability of the "Five Elements Rainbow Mirror"—was unable to function against the thick earth's crust!

He must first leave this dangerous underground cave and move the battlefield to the open, scorched earth outside.

"Concentrate your forces and retreat outside!" No longer concerned about being exposed, Jemin unleashed a powerful mental surge directly and brutally into the minds of the two wizards locked in fierce combat. "Drag the battlefield to the surface! The environment here is unfavorable to us!"

"Alright! Retreat!" The level two wizard roared, swung his staff forward, and an ice spike spell exploded, temporarily forcing back the level three lava giant that was entangled with him.

At the same time, the first-level wizard silently threw out a high-explosive rune bomb to repel the enemies rushing towards him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two pulled on their opponents and struggled to rush towards the entrance of the lava pool they had entered earlier.

Jemin was at the forefront, and he was under a lot of pressure.

His six "autonomous floating cannons" drew graceful arcs in the air, and dense energy rays poured down like rain, instantly enveloping the lava giants around him who were trying to entangle him.

The level one and level two lava giants were like leaves swept by a gale, blasted about by the powerful firepower, some even exploding.

While casually blasting away the lava giants that tried to approach him, Jemin focused most of his attention on communication and observing the retreat route of the two wizards.

He used his own firepower to clear a path for them, drawing away as much surrounding fire as possible to cover their retreat.

The rune artifact on his wrist continued to release high-frequency sound waves to suppress the entire lava giant.

Amidst the rain of lava and fire, Jemin moved like lightning, carrying a small elemental storm, and rushed straight towards the lava pool at the entrance.

That boiling lava lake was, in the eyes of the three wizards, the only way out.

He sensed that the other two wizards were also closing the distance rapidly, and he felt a little relieved.

However, just as he was about to approach the lava pool, a sudden burst of terrifying energy caused Jemin to stop abruptly, his face filled with vigilance!

His scalp tingled instantly, and a tremendous sense of crisis from the depths of his soul surged forth!

At the same time, not far behind him, two wizards who were pulling their opponents toward the lava pool also noticed something almost simultaneously.

The two of them abruptly stopped, their faces instantly filled with horror, their pupils shrinking as they turned to look at the scorching lava pool.

Suddenly, a huge and ferocious lava head emerged from the depths of the boiling magma in the lava pool where they had entered!

Its surface is covered with irregular lava cracks, and the crimson energy fluctuations are almost tangible. The two huge lava eyes emit a bloodthirsty and violent light!

Immediately, an enormous lava body rose out from it with a deafening roar!

It stood five meters tall, its body enveloped in viscous lava, and every step it took caused the ground to tremble.

Judging from the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from the other party, it was clearly another level-three lava giant!
“There are actually two level three here…” The level two wizard stared at the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared before him, his face drained of color.

What made Jemin and the two wizards even more disheartened was that the newly appeared level three lava giant was holding a charred head that had been burned beyond recognition!

The head was almost completely vaporized by the intense heat, the face blurred, leaving only twisted bones and charred chunks of flesh. Judging from the faint residual spiritual energy fluctuations, it was none other than the Level One Wizard who had left earlier!
He apparently met with misfortune while trying to send intelligence back to the camp, and was completely annihilated by this lava giant lying in wait!

"Intruder, die!"

As soon as the level 3 lava giant appeared, without uttering a single word, it swept its cold gaze across the battlefield and immediately locked onto Jemin, who was closest to it!

The giant arm, made of pure lava, suddenly rose up, carrying an overwhelming force and a stream of scorching magma, and struck directly at Jemin!

Boom! ! !

A deafening roar, as if a thousand tons of explosives had detonated simultaneously!
Jemin only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was enveloped by raging fire elements that filled the sky.

Feeling the air being torn apart by the attack, his body was blasted away as if hit by a high-speed train!

Jemin's body uncontrollably traced a long arc in the air, carrying flames and rock fragments, and like a meteor, it crashed violently into the edge rock wall hundreds of meters away at an unimaginable speed!
boom! ! !
Another earth-shattering roar erupted as a giant, human-shaped crater, several meters deep, was blasted into the rock wall, sending countless rocks crashing down and dust billowing everywhere!
Jemin's figure was completely swallowed up by it.

For a moment, the entire underground cavern fell into a deathly silence.

The two wizards on the other side were completely plunged into despair.

"It's over!" the level two wizard cried out, his face contorted with fear.

He stared intently at the collapsed rock wall, then at the level-three lava giant blocking the exit, and at the charred head broken off in his hand, feeling utterly powerless.

Lava giants are naturally adept at combat, and their physical characteristics make them even more suited to the high-temperature underground environment.

The level two wizard was confident in his combat abilities and was not afraid of level three lava giants when fighting opponents of higher levels.

Even if he fought to the death without holding back, he felt that he could only have a certain "advantage" in the battle against that level three lava giant.

Moreover, he has now learned the targeted destructive magic "Lava Annihilation" after the downgrade. Even a level three lava giant would not survive if hit by this level two Lava Annihilation.

The problem is that the current situation is not one-on-one between him and a level 3 lava giant.

Besides the level 3 lava giant that had been entangled with him for a long time, there were also a bunch of level 2 lava giants as support.

After all, as a combat-type wizard, he still hasn't figured out the principles of this spell and can't construct it on his own. He can only copy the model and build the corresponding spell model in his mind.

While such witchcraft would not be weakened in power, it would be far inferior in terms of casting speed and controllability.

With other level-two lava giants interfering, even if he used the downgraded version of the level-two "Lava Annihilation" spell without holding back, he could only barely maintain the current state, making it difficult to break the deadlock, let alone turn the tide.

Now, something even more deadly has arrived.

Another level 3 Lava Giant has appeared!
And the other side has also secured the only exit! This is practically an unsolvable dead end!

If this continues, and his mental energy is exhausted and his potion reserves are completely depleted, then he will almost certainly die!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jemin, who had been blasted away by the powerful impact and whose body was completely embedded in the deep pit of the rock wall, was thinking about another question.

He was indeed struck by an astonishing force, but apart from a strong tremor at the moment of impact and some ringing in his ears, he was not injured in any way.

The level 4 shield is indeed exceptionally powerful, so there's no need to worry about your safety for the time being.

However, the reason he was sent flying backwards was also Jemin's own choice—he needed enough space to prepare.

“Two level three, plus this many level two…” Jemin shook his head as he lay at the bottom of the pit.

Having taken that hit, the lava giant won't notice him for a while, giving him time to deal with other things.

From a rational perspective, continuing the fight now would make victory extremely difficult.

Although he has many trump cards, it would be foolish for him to fight to the death in this situation where he is blocked and his strength is limited.

However, now that the entrance has been blocked and the only exit has been intercepted, continuing to rush out would only be suicide.

If we can't get out from the "front," then we have to find another way to leave this underground cavern from some "unexpected" place!

Jemin couldn't help but sigh: "It seems this is the only way?"

With a slightly pained expression on his face, he quickly pulled out an ordinary-looking metal plate from his pocket.
