Chapter 205 Intelligence
A white rainbow streaked across the sky, like a shooting star.

The Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, carrying Jemin's will to survive, frantically fled towards the distant outline of the wizard camp at a speed exceeding normal limits.

Where the light passed, time and space seemed to become blurred.

However, just as he was about to approach the camp's defensive perimeter, a powerful and irresistible repulsive force suddenly acted upon him!

That was the outermost protective array of the camp, a forced repulsion mechanism that was automatically triggered after sensing an abnormal energy body approaching at high speed.

This magic array was designed to withstand ultra-high-speed physical or energy impacts. At this moment, Jemin was in a state of light transformation, and the terminal was unable to send friendly signals normally, so the magic array identified it as an enemy attack.

"puff--!"

Under that terrifying repulsive force, Jemin was forcibly forced out of his light-transformation state.

His body, which was originally integrated with the light, was instantly restored as if he had been thrown from a speeding train, and the energy and blood in his body surged wildly in reverse!

He felt as if he had been struck head-on by an invisible mountain, his internal organs were dislocated, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His condition at the moment was extremely poor; he was practically half-dead.

The use of the "Five Elements Rainbow Mirror" technique to transform light and escape had already exhausted all his true essence and spiritual power, pushing his body to its limit.

At this moment, it was forcibly pulled out of its light-transformation state by the brute force of the protective array.

The clash between the two forces was like a bomb exploding inside him, leaving him severely injured.

It was only thanks to his physical cultivation that his body was strong enough; otherwise, that attack would have been enough to kill him.

But Jemin is not in good condition either; he has even lost the most basic ability to maintain flight.

Like a kite with a broken string, he could only helplessly plummet straight down from the sky.

The wind whistled in my ears, and my consciousness was rapidly fading.

"Thank goodness... this height won't kill me..."

However, just as he was about to crash to the ground in a sorry state, Jemin felt his falling trajectory change rapidly.

The irresistible gravity was counteracted by a gentle yet powerful force, and his falling body quickly became suspended, only a few meters above the ground.

However, at this point, Jemin's condition had deteriorated to the point of near unconsciousness.

Even with the simplest levitation spell, he was powerless to break free.

They could only let that force lift them up and slowly descend.

In a daze, Jemin mustered his last bit of strength and struggled to open his eyes, trying to see clearly who had saved him.

Through his blurred, blood-red vision, he could vaguely make out a calm and dignified face.

He was an old man dressed in a simple gray robe, with a calm and steady demeanor like a rock. His eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea.

It was none other than Master Elwin, one of the three level-five wizards stationed at the camp!

"I have...urgent...information..."

Jemin forced out those words.

He tried to amplify his voice, but found that it was already so soft that it was almost like muttering to himself, so faint that it was barely audible.

Fortunately, a level 5 wizard's perception is sharp enough. Master Elwin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he easily understood what Jemin wanted to express.

He remained expressionless, simply extending one hand and conjuring a bottle of green potion radiating life force. With gentle yet irresistible movements, he poured it down Jemin's throat and gestured for him to continue.

As soon as the potion was swallowed, a gentle yet powerful life energy instantly spread throughout his body, like spring rain on a parched riverbed, rapidly repairing his broken meridians and damaged organs.

Jemin felt much better; at least the near-death weakness had been temporarily suppressed.

However, after escaping the immediate danger to his life, the willpower he had been holding together to sustain his escape collapsed as if his spine had been ripped out.

An overwhelming sense of fatigue and drowsiness washed over him, and he felt as if he might faint at any moment.

But Jemin knew that now was not the time to pass out.

With his last ounce of strength, he forced himself to stay conscious and, speaking rapidly and clearly to Master Elwin, condensed the information he knew into three sentences:

"The Yeti and the Lava Giant have joined forces!"

"The monsters possess... strategic-level time-related abilities!"

"The frontline node has been breached!"

At the moment he cast the Light Escape Technique, Jemin's sense of time fell into a strange state of chaos.

Everything in the outside world seemed to slow down in his eyes, like a still frame.

It was precisely through this unique perspective that he was able to clearly see everything that had happened in that frontline node area.

The extraordinary phenomenon of even dust particles seemingly frozen in mid-air undoubtedly indicated that the advancing legions of lava giants were surrounded by some terrifying "time-stopping field." In fact, many other abilities can achieve similar results, such as large-scale mind control or field magic that alters the laws of physics.

But the reason why Jemin was able to guess with such certainty that it was a time-stopping effect was mainly due to the special circumstances of this plane.

As previously mentioned, the four fundamental elements of the Wizarding World, in addition to representing their own attribute power, also represent four different higher-level concepts.

The element of fire represents "energy".

The element of water represents "time".

The Frost Plane is a special world that is constantly illuminated by the projections of fire and water elements.

Life born here will inevitably bear the characteristics of these two higher-level concepts.

Lava giants, as the darlings of the fire element, are different from other elemental creatures in other planes in that the energy reserves contained within their bodies are extremely exaggerated!
Each adult lava giant is like a mobile energy source, and they release their energy in a near-extravagant manner during battle.

This is arguably the fundamental reason why the lava giant is significantly stronger than other elemental creatures of the same type in other planes.

Moreover, the lava giants are naturally able to move the earth's veins and mobilize energy over a wide area.

The so-called "strategic weapons" they displayed in the battle were essentially just releasing massive amounts of energy into the target area in an instant, causing the temperature to rise sharply and achieving the effect of burning the city and destroying the land.

Lava giants possess a talent deeply intertwined with the concept of "energy," so the Yetis, who are constantly at odds with lava giants and are creations of the water element, naturally also possess their own unique talents.

Without a doubt, the Yetis's talent is related to "time"!
However, under normal circumstances, the Yetis' core and physique can only support time-related talents that allow them to accelerate themselves.

Their outward manifestation is that Yetis are extremely fast and have superb reflexes, often making them impossible to defend against.

This trait, though powerful, is not particularly remarkable. Many wizards attribute it to the Yeti's innate talent without delving into its true nature.

But this time, the situation is completely different!

This "time" talent has evolved to the terrifying level of being able to pause the surrounding time.

What's even stranger is that the one who activated this ability wasn't the Yeti, but the Lava Giant!

Therefore, Jemin was able to arrive at those two pieces of information with such certainty!

Clearly, the lava giant provided a massive, almost inexhaustible amount of "energy" as fuel and amplifier.

The Yetis' innate talent for "time" has been amplified and magnified to near its limit!

Two originally opposing forces have been perfectly combined through some unknown means, creating such a terrifying strategic capability.

After using his last bit of strength to finish reciting these three crucial pieces of information, Jemin could no longer hold on, his vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

Master Erwin, standing before him, had a barely perceptible hint of seriousness in the depths of his eyes.

He nodded calmly, seemingly prepared for this intelligence.

He casually handed the unconscious Jemin to Viola, who had arrived at some unknown time.

Viola took Jemin from her, and looking at his half-dead, blood-soaked, miserable state, a strange and excited light flickered in her silver-gray eyes.

The wizards who rushed over upon hearing the news immediately erupted in chaos after hearing Jemin's three sentences of information!

"What?! Time stop?! Are you kidding me?!"

"Damn it! The frontline node was breached so quickly!"

"The lava giant and the yeti have teamed up... That's not surprising."

After the initial shock and panic, the wizards' strong mental fortitude allowed them to quickly calm down.

Deep down, most people felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, this wizard risked his life to bring back this information!

For wizards, time-related abilities are indeed unpredictable and extremely difficult to deal with when the situation is unknown; often, they can lead to total annihilation in a single encounter.

However, once its existence and principles are known, protection becomes much easier.

"Everyone on alert!"

Master Elwin's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every wizard, instantly silencing all the noise.

His gaze swept across the entire room, carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"Activate 'Time Sequence Stabilization Anchor'! All defense nodes, immediately switch to anti-time warp mode!"

"Order the Potions Department to immediately begin mass production of 'Time Freeze Potion'!"

"Notify all combat squads to change to 'Time Delay Rune' equipment!"

Master Erwin methodically issued a series of orders.

Under the command of this level-five wizard, the entire wizard camp was like a sophisticated war machine that had been activated, and it began to operate at high speed in preparation for the approaching enemy.
