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

Chapter 184 Underground Battle (Part Two)

"I'm very sorry to both of you, but given the current situation, it's best for me to slip away first."

Muttering to himself, Jieming looked at the metal plate in front of him with great heartache.

The metal plate was thin and heavy, its surface engraved with a vast number of runes, and it visibly emitted faint yet complex energy fluctuations.

This is not an ordinary magical artifact, but a one-time use magical artifact that is quite rare in the wizarding world.

The drawback of this magical artifact is obvious: its internal rune array, in pursuit of instantaneous powerful effects, has not considered durability and self-circulation.

Therefore, once used, the artifact will self-destruct due to the excessive energy surge, making it a truly disposable item.

However, its advantages are equally prominent: because it does not have high requirements for material durability and the manufacturing process can avoid some complex self-circulation and charging nodes, its material cost is relatively cheap.

It is also simpler to manufacture, so the price is only one-third of that of a similarly priced, reusable magical artifact.

In terms of "cost-effectiveness," this disposable item certainly cannot compare with a normal, rechargeable, and reusable magical artifact.

The metal plate in Jemin's hand contains the fifth-level spatial magic spell, "Spatial Jump".

This sorcery allows the user to instantly perform large-scale spatial displacement, avoiding almost all attacks that cannot lock onto the dimensions of space itself.

Jemin was able to obtain this rare level-five magical artifact thanks to his uncommon "All-Seeing Eye".

At the wizard registration point at the border, it was because he demonstrated the "Eye of All Use" that he attracted the attention of many high-ranking wizards from the Tower of Annihilation. One of them was Master Roland Vannar, one of the actual commanders of this expedition.

After learning that the other party's main research direction was spatial system annihilation magic, Jemin kept a secret.

Later, Jemin contacted the other party using the communication serial number left by Master Roland, and finally obtained this level-five magical artifact that could save his life after paying a considerable price.

The reason it was a one-time use witchcraft artifact was because Jemin was indeed short of money at the time.

He spent almost all of the military merits he had earned from research missions over the past year to purchase this magical artifact, and that was only a deposit.

The real big expense was the harsh contract he signed with Master Roland:

After he advances to the second and third level of wizards, he will learn some obscure and extremely difficult specialized knowledge as required by Roland, adding new observation modules to his "all-powerful eye".

Afterwards, he would hand over the complete "All-Purpose Eye" sorcery model of these newly added observation modules to the other party.

Jemin had skimmed through the "professional knowledge" assigned by Master Roland, and they were mostly subjects that were extremely difficult and practically useless for low-level wizards.

These things require a great deal of Jemin's energy to learn and understand, and they cannot be immediately transformed into obvious power in the short term.

But just in case, and in anticipation of the potential "desperate situation," Jemin gritted his teeth and signed this seemingly unequal contract with the other party.

Jemin suppressed the pain in his heart and poured his mental energy into the metal plate like a tidal wave.

Several vials of magic potions appeared in his hand, ready to be poured into his mind to restore it when his mental energy was insufficient.

With a continuous influx of spiritual energy, the runes were quickly activated, and strands of silvery-white spatial law power began to condense around the metal plate, as if a spatial rift would tear open out of thin air at any moment and teleport him out.

However, in the very next instant, the expectation on his face suddenly froze, turning into astonishment!
"What's going on?!" Jemin's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the metal plate that had stopped working again.

He immediately focused his mental energy and carefully checked the device according to the testing methods mentioned in Roland's "after-sales service".

Then, under the red glow of the lava, Jemin's face became even more grim.

“There’s actually spatial interference in this underground cave?!” Jemin said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with incomprehensible confusion.

Although the intensity of this spatial interference is not high, it is enough to turn a level one wizard like Jemin into mincemeat after activation.

But clearly, his plan to use "space jump" to escape from the underground cavern had completely failed!
His most reliable trump card for survival at this stage was unfortunately limited by the ruthless environment before it could even be activated.

Jemin's face turned ashen for a moment, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

The facts are as they are; mere anger is pointless.

Now, only one last, and most brutal, method remains—fight your way out!

Moreover, Jemin knew that this decision and attitude had to be expressed quickly and decisively!
We cannot allow the pervasive despair to continue to spread. Otherwise, the other two wizards, in their extreme despair, might do something foolish and desperate, or even break down.

A glint flashed in Jemin's eyes, and his immense spiritual power surged like a tide.

Without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful and bright energy wave, like the blazing sun in the night, which completely illuminated the humanoid crater where he was hiding, announcing his presence and attracting the attention of all living beings present!

At the same time, with a thought, light flowed within his body.

Thousands of crystal-like offensive rune artifacts surged out from behind him like a swarm of bees.

These rune artifacts spun rapidly in the air, forming a complete version of the "Great Light Formation" behind him according to a specific rune array, which he had previously used on the battlefield!
At the same time, Jemin didn't hesitate to take out a special bracelet and put it on his wrist: "Speed ​​up!"

On the other side, the second-level wizard saw that another third-level lava giant blocking the exit was also starting to surround him, forming an encirclement with the third-level lava giant that had been fighting him. A deep look of despair appeared on his face.

He was already feeling the pressure of dealing with just one level-three lava giant, and now there was another level-three lava giant, with more and more lava giants surging in from all around.

He knew that if things continued like this, he might really lose his life here today.

Just then, a massive, suffocating energy surge suddenly came from behind him!
Immediately afterwards, a dense barrage of light projectiles streaked across his head like a meteor shower, carrying devastating energy as they blasted directly at the newly appeared level-three lava giant!
Boom boom boom boom! ! !
The deafening explosions continued incessantly, and the energy beams illuminated almost the entire underground cavity.

The level-three lava giant was bombarded head-on by thousands of energy projectiles. Its body swayed violently, and it let out a painful groan. The rocky shell on its body continued to crack under the dense bombardment.

It was even blasted backwards and crashed into the lava pool, creating towering waves of lava!

Although it didn't deal fatal damage to the level 3 Lava Giant, it did effectively repel it!

The second-level wizard and the first-level wizard turned around in shock and saw Jemin's majestic figure unfolding the "Great Light Phase".

With a five-meter-tall array of rune artifacts on his back, Jemin floated in mid-air, radiating a brilliance like that of a demon god!
This enormous "Great Light Formation" brought an unprecedented sense of security, causing the two wizards, who were originally in despair, to involuntarily reveal expressions of joy and relief at surviving a disaster!

"I'll hold this one off!" Jemin's cold, resolute voice clearly reached the ears of the other two wizards through mental fluctuations. "You two hold off the other one for as long as possible! I'll provide fire support!"

As Jemin spoke, his gaze darted around, sweeping over the level three lava giant that he had blasted away, but which was now slowly rising unharmed from the lava pool.

Its rocky outer shell has completely molten, but it is not because it was damaged, but because it actively evolved into a lava state under high temperature conditions.

The energy blasts just now only left shallow, uneven craters on the opponent's body, and these craters are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the tiny insect that had blasted him away, the lava giant's anger was almost tangible.

"As expected of a level three... This kind of regenerative ability and defensive power is really troublesome." Jemin couldn't help but click his tongue, but there was no fear in his eyes.

He had anticipated this situation, and he knew it was a war of attrition.

"Sigh... I hope I can make it in time."

Jemin took a deep breath, pulled out his magic network terminal, and crushed it without hesitation!
The crystal terminal obtained when registering at the border point not only has functions such as local area network communication, task posting, and merit statistics.

The most crucial function of this crystal terminal is that it can be used as an emergency distress beacon.

Wizards can crush it when they are in extreme danger, and even if they are too far away to contact the camp normally, the camp will receive the corresponding distress signal.

Once the command center receives the message, it will immediately dispatch a rescue mission to the nearby wizards.

The more terminals are crushed, the more chaotic the data transmitted by the communicator, the more critical the situation, the wider the scope of the rescue mission, and the stronger the rescue force mobilized!

In fact, before this, the second-level wizard and the other first-level wizard had already crushed their respective magic network terminals when they sensed the impending doom!
Jemin's goal is clear.

From the very beginning, he never intended to kill all these monsters on his own, especially since the Lava Giants were not as useless as Blood Angels.

I'm lucky if I can even make sure I don't die.

If they can hold off the two level-three lava giants before the rescue arrives, it will be a victory for them.

But the lava giants' commanders had no intention of giving them a chance to breathe.
