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

Chapter 260 War begins

Faced with this sudden change, the other recruited wizards were initially shocked and panicked.

But they are all formal wizards, and they do not lack the necessary intellect and will.

They quickly suppressed their instinctive emotions, forced themselves to calm down, and cold rationality instantly regained the upper hand, allowing them to quickly analyze and understand the current situation.

The group's gazes sharpened instantly, as they cautiously scanned their temporary companions out of the corner of their eyes, wary of any potential second betrayal.

On the one hand, they tacitly focused most of their vigilance and surging killing intent on Levin Mills and Jack's group, who were high above them in mid-air, with a mocking smile like a cat playing with a mouse.

On the field, only Jeremy appeared unusually calm, as if everything before him was already within his expectations.

This uneasy feeling had been planted in his heart as early as when Jack approached him in the camp square to chat and invite him to talk.

If it's understandable for people to greet each other after a long separation, then the other person's behavior of taking the initiative to start a conversation in the square is a bit too enthusiastic.

At first, he didn't think much of it, but after learning the details of the so-called "rescue mission," a question arose in his mind:

If the only requirement is manpower to assist in the search and expand the scope of reconnaissance, hiring a small number of level-two wizards is the most suitable option from the most basic "cost-effectiveness" perspective.

However, whether it was Jack, Levin Mills, or the others in their team, they made no secret of their dissatisfaction with the "number" of the recruited wizards—it seemed that from the beginning they needed not just searchers, but... a sufficient number of "prey".

The second thing that alarmed Jemin was the absence of a contract.

While there are unspoken rules for wizards to temporarily form teams, it is surprising that no one proactively proposed signing a binding soul contract for a collaborative mission like this, which would last for at least a month and was quite dangerous.
This in itself is extremely unusual.

Seeing Jemin's unusually calm, even knowing, expression, a barely perceptible surprise flashed in the eyes of both Jack and Levin Mills.

Jemin still had many questions in his mind, but now was clearly not the time to ask them.

He abruptly turned his head, his gaze meeting that of a level four wizard who had clearly been attacked not far away.

The moment their eyes met, a silent exchange was completed:

"cooperate?"

"cooperate!"

Without any unnecessary words, the level four wizard had clearly suffered a similar loss before, and his reaction was astonishingly fast.

He roared and without hesitation separated a spiritual contract that shimmered with brilliant golden light from the very essence of his soul!

The contract, as if it possessed a life of its own, instantly flew to Jemin and the other ten recruited wizards.

The terms of the agreement are simple and straightforward: a temporary alliance, united against a common enemy, and no attacking each other!

Without hesitation, Jemin and the other survivors quickly imprinted their mental mark on it.

Once the contract was formed, an invisible binding force briefly united the loose will of the group.

While trust is far from being established, at least there's no longer the constant worry of being attacked from behind, allowing us to focus all our efforts on dealing with the current predicament.

And it was at this moment...

Crack... Boom!

The massive energy shield that Jemin had erected earlier finally shattered into countless points of light under the combined onslaught of Jack and the others, letting out a mournful cry of despair!
Looking at the level-four protective magical artifact in his hand that was rapidly losing its luster, Jemin expressionlessly sent it back into his internal space.

Although the level 4 shield was destroyed faster than expected, they had already adjusted their situation and had completed their mission.

There is no room for maneuver between the two sides. The seeds of hatred have already been sown and can only be washed away with blood!

"Levin Mills! I'm your opponent!"

The unknown level four wizard's hair and beard stood on end, and he roared like thunder. A surge of energy emanated from his body as he actively sought out the strongest level three wizard on the other side, Levin Mills, and entangled him tightly.

The two tacitly escaped the area below, and a huge energy collision sound instantly exploded in the sky.

But the remaining situation is still utterly hopeless for Jemin's side!

Apart from Jemin, all the surviving recruits were only level one wizards.

On the other side, including Jack, there were a full twelve powerful and well-coordinated level two wizards!

To make matters worse...

The usually taciturn and emaciated wizard (originally a fat wizard) gave a sinister smile and suddenly clenched his thin, claw-like hand into the void!
puff! puff! puff! puff!
In an instant, all the "Fireflies" released by the recruited wizards for reconnaissance and surveillance, no matter how far apart they were, spontaneously exploded at the same time without warning!
These fireflies are connected to the host's mind. This sudden backlash on the soul is like countless red-hot iron needles piercing the owner's brain!

"what!!"

A chorus of piercing screams immediately filled the air.

More than seven first-level wizards had no time to mount any effective defense. Blood immediately flowed from their seven orifices, their eyes dimmed instantly, and they plummeted straight down from the sky like puppets with broken strings, losing their fighting ability for a moment! In the blink of an eye, only four wizards, including Jemin, remained standing!
But the remaining three wizards were all pale-faced, their souls injured, causing them splitting headaches and greatly reducing their strength.

Although Jemin had taken precautions and had not revealed his special abilities to outsiders, the viciousness and ferocity of this soul-shaking attack still exceeded his expectations.

Fortunately, the body-tempering method not only gave him a strong physique, but also extremely strong resistance to mental attacks.

Moreover, over the past few days, thanks to the adaptive evolution of the body tempering method, he has developed a great resistance to this type of mental impact.

Jemin felt a sudden dizziness, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, but his strong physique allowed him to endure the excruciating pain. He shook his head and regained his senses in an instant.

In that brief moment of confusion, the enemy's attack was already upon them.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jemin reached out and beckoned.

"Roar!!!"

Five black giants, each over ten meters tall, with skin as black as cast iron, roared and charged out of his body!

Their massive, savage, and powerful bodies instantly blocked most of the attack route!

Under Jemin's precise command, the five black giants fearlessly stood at the forefront, using their broad backs and powerful bodies to barely protect everyone.

At the same time, three other first-level wizards, enduring excruciating pain in their souls, also roared and began to fight desperately.

They spared no effort in burning their spiritual energy and unleashing their strongest sorcery, working together with the black giant to barely hold back seven ordinary level-two wizards.

Meanwhile, Jemin's gaze was fixed coldly on the remaining five people opposite him—the strongest combination among the enemies: Jack, the gaunt wizard, and three other second-level wizards whose auras were clearly more ferocious!
"Kill!" Jack shouted, and the five of them launched an attack at the same time, their energy instantly engulfing Jemin.

however……

Jemin's counterattack was more ferocious than any of them had imagined!
The ten "spell artifacts" floating on his wrists immediately burst forth with dazzling light, and high-frequency energy rays, like the net woven by the Grim Reaper, densely sprayed towards the five people.

That wasn't all. With a wave of his hand, several level-four attack artifacts were activated without hesitation!
In an instant, the Frost Ring froze space, the Disintegration Ray pierced through the void, and the Twisting Aura deflected attacks...

A series of bizarre and powerful level four witchcraft effects exploded instantly, catching Jack and his group of five off guard and leaving them in a sorry state. They were completely suppressed in place by the terrifying firepower unleashed by Jemin alone.

"Level four magical artifacts?! How could he possibly have so many?!" a level two wizard exclaimed in shock.

Even before the attack landed, the shield he had erected was already fluctuating violently in the torrent of energy.

Jack and the others were veterans of the expeditionary force after their initial shock, and they quickly recovered and roared as they pulled out their best level-four defensive or offensive magical artifacts to fight back.

Rumble…

The power of several level-four magical artifacts collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar and a destructive energy surge!

The brief advantage that Jemin gained through sheer numbers was quickly neutralized by his opponent using equal tactics within seconds.

However, this bought Jemin enough time.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his mind raced once more.

In an instant, thousands of spare "talismanic artifacts" roared out from his body space, quickly combining and circling with his original ten talismanic artifacts.

Taking advantage of the clash between level four sorcery, a massive, intricately structured halo, resembling the halo behind Buddha's head, formed behind him.

hum...

The moment the "Great Light Phase" was activated, a terrifying energy wave that sent shivers down one's spine swept across the entire area.

That halo seemed to transform into a black hole that devoured everything, or like the core of a sun about to erupt!
In the next instant, an incredibly thick, scorching torrent of pure destructive energy erupted from that "Great Light Phase"!

Wherever this stream of light passed, space seemed to distort and dissolve. The layers of shields hastily constructed by the enemy wizard were easily torn apart and evaporated like paper!
Jemin single-handedly brought most of the enemies on the battlefield, including five level-two wizards, into his attack range!
The destructive beam of light seemed to have a life of its own, relentlessly firing at Jack's team, forcing them to dodge desperately and leaving them no time to spare!
The three first-level wizards and the black giant, who were on the verge of collapse under the siege of the other seven second-level wizards, suddenly felt relieved.

They looked up in shock, staring at the back of the man who had single-handedly turned the tide of battle and forcefully suppressed half of the enemy with his unparalleled firepower. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and awe.

With the help of Jemin and the Black Giant, the wizards who had previously lost their fighting ability managed to muster their strength and forcefully suppress their injuries to join the battle.

However, their souls had already been severely damaged by the attack, greatly reducing their combat power. Their arrival only delayed the rate of death for everyone.

In just a few breaths of combat, the recruited wizards had suffered heavy casualties, with only five remaining clinging to life.

Two of the black giants summoned by Jemin were also lost in the battle.

However, the remaining three black giants, with their immortal tenacity and innate talents, managed to kill two weaker level two wizards.

The battlefield was forcibly dragged into a brutal stalemate because of Jemin's irrational outburst.
