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

Chapter 187 Underground Battle (Part 5)

The level 3 lava giant that Jemin was fighting was no ordinary lava giant commander.

At the beginning of its birth, in addition to the scorching magma, its body also contained a complex yet unique energy.

From the moment of his birth, the lava giant Haye Alvarez Alex Atkinson knew from his inherited information that he was a rare "prophet" variant among the lava giant race.

The "prophet" holds an extraordinary position among the lava giants, as they can foresee, to some extent, what will likely happen in the future.

This kind of foresight is not a clear picture, but a vague prediction of energy flow and trends, which allows them to avoid danger or seize opportunities in advance.

According to the lava giants, this was a revelation from their ancestors that the prophets had received.

However, the wizards believe that this special variant should be born with a certain degree of ability to communicate with the origin of the plane.

Therefore, one can unconsciously access the information database of the origin of the plane, thereby "predicting the future" to some extent.

This time, the lava giant prophet ambushed at the entrance precisely because he vaguely predicted that enemies would break in.

However, its predictive abilities are not omnipotent.

It initially predicted that the human forces that had broken in here would not be too strong, and believed that the existing lava giants in the "nest" would be sufficient to deal with them, which is why it did not choose to seek reinforcements from other, more powerful settlements.

At the start of the battle, the course of the battlefield was as it had predicted—an arrogant squad of wizards, several low-level beings that could be easily crushed, and itself lying in wait.

But what it didn't expect was that the tiny insect that it had blasted away with a single blow, which looked like it was just a "low-level soldier," would be so troublesome!
This wizard, with his terrifying cannon-like firepower and his almost "immortal" defensive stance, was able to hold me back despite his low strength level!

What's more troublesome is that, during the battle, its precognitive abilities are issuing another warning.

More dangers are approaching this place at an unimaginable speed.

One of the enemies was even at the level of a "senior general"!

We can't keep delaying like this.

If the wizards' reinforcements arrive, it... will die!
The Lava Giant Prophet attempted several fierce close-range breakthroughs, but was blocked by Jemin's relentless barrage of projectiles and sturdy shield.

Its roars grew increasingly frenzied, and the lava within its body churned incessantly, yet it was unable to break through the obstacle before it.

Anger and anxiety filled its massive body.

"Damn it! We have to take him out immediately!"

Under immense pressure, the lava giant prophet rapidly searched for the knowledge stored within his soul.

Suddenly it stopped abruptly, a strange light flashing in its eyes.

"Have it!"

It suddenly thought of a rather special secret technique, a special ability that every prophet automatically learns at birth.

To put it bluntly, this kind of secret technique is not a special supernatural power, but a simple mental and cognitive curse.

It can interfere with the other party's judgment and cognition to a certain extent, causing the target to experience temporary confusion and hesitation.

Under normal circumstances, the most important function of this secret method for the lava giant prophet is to enable those simple-minded lava giant soldiers who lack the ability to think to resolutely and unconditionally obey his orders and prophecies.

As for dealing with those high-level lava giants, this secret method can also be used to make them believe in your prophecy even more.

Simply put, it's a technique used by charlatans.

Within the clan, this ability is rarely used directly in combat.

After all, as a special variant of the Lava Giant, the Prophet already possesses greater combat power.

They are able to manipulate the power of the earth's veins more effectively, and use the immense energy deep within the volcano to strengthen themselves. Their melee combat ability and elemental manipulation are slightly stronger than those of ordinary lava giants of the same level.

Normally, they don't need this kind of unorthodox interference.

However, in this day and age, it could very well be useful as a means of interfering with the judgment of this strange wizard during battle!
If it hesitates for even a moment, it is confident enough to break through this guy's defenses and completely tear the other wizard apart!
So, in his next all-out charge, the Lava Giant Prophet gathered all his energy and fury, and his massive body charged forward with immense power.

At the same time, an invisible and intangible fluctuation of mental curse silently shot towards Jemin!

It was perfectly hidden beneath the prophet's intense energy fluctuations, making it difficult to detect.

The curse's energy, like an invisible venomous snake, instantly made contact with Jemin through sight.

But just as it was about to take effect, the power of the curse touched a barrier. That was the "Mysterious Red Dust Barrier" that had always surrounded Jemin.

This protective treasure, crafted from a vast amount of mortal energy and malevolent energy, has been silently attached to Jieming's body all along.

The moment the curse struck, the massive amount of malevolent energy and worldly energy stored within it suddenly erupted like an enraged prehistoric beast!

The guiding power of the curse ironically became a channel for the Xuan Gang Red Dust Barrier to release its power.

In just a moment, most of the malevolent energy and worldly energy stored within the protective treasure, following the connection of the curse and along that invisible spiritual meridian, rebounded back in an even more violent way, like a raging tide!
This is not just a simple rebound of mental energy, but an impact from the chaotic emotions of countless beings deep within the mortal world, which is the most essential pollution and shaking of the soul!

Jemin himself hadn't expected that the opportunity he hadn't been really looking forward to would appear so inexplicably before him.

All Jemin knew was that the lava giant, which had been charging towards him with molten lava churning around it and roaring wildly, suddenly stopped midway through its charge, as if an invisible hand had grabbed its throat. All its movements came to an eerie halt.

Its two huge eyes had lost all focus and luster, becoming unusually blank!
It was as if its consciousness had been completely drained away by some incomprehensible force in that instant.

Only an empty shell remained, standing motionless in place, the raging lava around it also stopped moving, as if frozen in the air.

Although Jemin didn't know exactly what had happened, he didn't know why such a strange change had suddenly occurred inside the lava giant's body.

However, the instructions he had given were perfectly executed by the "Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror"!
Even faster than Jemin himself realized this was absolutely the best opportunity.

Almost at the same instant that the Lava Giant Prophet fell into a state of confusion, the metal floating cannon behind Jemin, which carried the second-level "Lava Annihilation", suddenly burst out with a dazzling light!

The dull, oval crystal on the short staff was instantly activated, and an energy ray, twice as fast as that released by an ordinary wizard, with clearly visible rune spirals, shot out from the muzzle like lightning.

Its target is the lava cavity, the energy gathering point in the empty, bewildered chest of the Lava Giant Prophet!

click!
A precise sound, detectable only by Jemin and the "Five Elements Rainbow Mirror," rang out, signifying that the runic ray had struck the most vulnerable energy-gathering area of ​​the Lava Giant Prophet without any obstruction!

The powerful "Lava Annihilation" spell took effect instantly!
After the ray hit, the lava giant's massive body did not crack. Instead, fine cracks began to appear from the inside out from the energy gathering point!

The once flowing lava now seemed to have been stripped of its essence, turning grayish-white before rapidly solidifying and finally transforming into countless tiny grains of sand that collapsed helplessly from the cracks!

In just a few seconds, the entire body of the colossal lava giant prophet disintegrated completely from the inside out, like a weathered sculpture!

Its body transformed into a cloud of charred sand and dust, along with its bewildered head, which collapsed and vanished without a trace, leaving only a small pool of pure mineral residue emitting white smoke.

Those enormous eyes, now lifeless and dull, fell to the scorched ground.

This incredibly threatening level 3 lava giant prophet was instantly killed!

Silence descended at this moment, as if even the surrounding lava flow had frozen.

The other level 3 lava giant, which was locked in combat with a level 2 wizard, seemed to have sensed something and let out an angry roar. Lava surged around its body, as if it was gathering power.

However, Jemin did not give it any chance to react.

"Kill!" Jemin's eyes lit up instantly.
With a thought, the massive torrent of "Great Light Image" runes behind him instantly changed direction.

The thousands of crystal-like rune artifacts originally intended to suppress the Lava Giant Prophet now surged towards another Level 3 Lava Giant like a tidal wave.

At the same time, the offensive rune artifact on his wrist, which was engraved with the first-level "Lava Annihilation", also burst out with dazzling light, and a series of precise and sharp energy blades slammed directly towards the third-level lava giant like a storm!

The level two wizard was in danger; he had already exhausted more than half of his mental energy, and his shield was on the verge of collapse.

"A great opportunity!" Seeing the situation turn around, the second-level wizard roared and squeezed out the last bit of potential from his body.

His staff once again emitted a dark green light, and he precisely channeled a powerful level two "Lava Annihilation" spell towards the level three lava giant in front of him.

Unlike Jemin's attack, which was so fast it was almost instantaneous, his spellcasting process was slightly delayed, but the choice of the target was spot-on—directly aimed at the energy gathering point on the lava giant's chest!
Bang! ! !
Jemin and the level two wizard's attacks hit almost simultaneously!

Jemin's dense energy blasts and light blades exploded on the surface of the Level 3 Lava Giant. Although they could not cause fatal damage, they effectively slowed down its massive body, preventing it from making an effective evasion.

Meanwhile, the level two wizard's "Lava Annihilation," which concentrated all its power, seized the opportunity to precisely strike its relatively vulnerable energy-gathering area!

The light of magic erupted from the lava giant's body, causing it to howl in pain and its massive body to tremble violently!

The lava around it began to become disordered, and its body color gradually changed from fiery red to dull.

It struggled, trying to absorb the surrounding magma to repair the damage.

But its body began to disintegrate rapidly and irreversibly from the inside out, like a sandcastle, and finally turned into dust. It didn't even have time to let out a complete wail before it completely disappeared into this underground space!

Both level-three lava giants perished!
