Chapter 112

This ring, composed of thousands of rune wizarding tools, rotated slowly, light flowing and rune halos flickering between each rune, like a high-tech war machine emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

During the preparation process of the rune ring, Jie Ming gave Amy and Victor a subtle look.

The two understood, and taking advantage of the Blood Angel's attention being completely drawn by the astonishing scene behind Jie Ming, they quickly huddled together.

They tacitly performed alchemy, pushing aside the underground rock to dig a deep tunnel, fleeing toward the deeper, safer underground of the mine.

The Blood Angel naturally noticed the movement on the other side, but he couldn't be bothered to deal with those two little guys for the moment.

Because his perception told him that the enemy in front of him, who was currently charging up, was becoming more dangerous at a speed visible to the naked eye!

And he had no way to stop it.

On Jie Ming's side, after several seconds of preparation, he finally entered the final stage.

Three disc-shaped metal plates, bearing profound runes, slowly overlapped and hovered in the center of the huge ring behind him.

After reaching a predetermined position, they integrated with the ring like parts embedded into a machine, the flowing light of the entire ring immediately stabilized, emitting a low hum as if it were a prehistoric beast about to be unleashed!

【Full Power Form · Great Da Guang Xiang】!

This was Jie Ming's trump card, the final armament that integrated all the knowledge and research he had accumulated over the years!

The moment the "Great Da Guang Xiang" was fully activated, the Blood Angel's vision was suddenly completely submerged by a dense torrent composed of thousands of energy projectiles!

These energy projectiles were no longer just precision shots, but formed an energy barrage tens of meters wide, overwhelming and without any blind spots.

Like a brilliant river of white light, it poured down toward the Blood Angel in the narrow space of the mine with the momentum to destroy everything!

Jie Ming adjusted the power of every energy projectile to the "highest" level, which meant each one was equivalent to a proper Level 1 wizard spell.

Just one would be enough to blow up an entire stadium!

And now, thousands of such projectiles were covering the Blood Angel every second like a tsunami, the continuous roaring sound instantly resounding through the entire mine, making his eardrums ache!

Firepower suppression!

The incandescent light completely swallowed the Blood Angel's figure, and the terrifying energy shockwave expanded in all directions with Jie Ming as the center.

The rock walls of the mine, unable to bear the burden, began to groan, large chunks of rock were shaken loose, and dust filled the air.

The Blood Angel's figure moved at high speed within the torrent of light.

After all, he was a Level 3 living being with extremely fast speed; even such an overwhelming energy barrage found it difficult to truly lock onto his position.

His figure twisted and flickered, turning into afterimages as he tried to avoid the almost endless attacks.

Jie Ming's eyeballs twitched violently, trying his best to lock onto the Blood Angel's figure.

He manipulated the ring composed of rune wizarding tools, chasing the Blood Angel's figure at a slightly slower speed, bombarding him with endless energy projectiles.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!

In just a short moment, the entire mine, and even the mountain range above it, could no longer withstand this destructive energy impact.

Huge cracks spread across the mountain's surface, accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound, as if the mountain's skeleton were breaking inch by inch!

Boom!!!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the entire mountain range suddenly exploded violently from the inside out, with rubble and dust shooting into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud!

The mountain range collapsed, and rubble splashed everywhere.

At the center of the explosion, two figures—one blood-colored, one shimmering with flowing light—rushed out of the collapsing mountain with astonishing speed, one after the other, toward the vast Elosia sky!

Jie Ming and the Blood Angel, two figures like arrows released from a bow, broke through the smoke and dust and soared into the sky.

The Blood Angel's speed was astonishingly fast; every flap of his wings carried afterimages, and every flicker was accompanied by divine power fluctuations. He drifted in the air like a ghost, causing Jie Ming's exaggerated barrage of energy projectiles to miss by a hair's breadth every time.

Seeing that his attacks could never precisely lock onto the opponent, Jie Ming knew that the gap in speed between the two sides was too large, and conventional means would not be effective.

He hardened his heart and pulled out another inconspicuous-looking rune wizarding tool from his internal space.

The design of this thing was completely different from the other crystal-like rune wizarding tools; it looked more like a streamlined metal bracelet, its surface covered with ancient and complex runes, emitting a faint white light.

This was the final link in Jie Ming's years of research to push his "Full Power Stance" to the limit.

Originally, it was just a crude mobile rune wizarding tool, and its function was limited to releasing flight spells.

Later, as Jie Ming refined the "Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror," he intended to improve the mobile rune wizarding tool by studying it.

However, as his research time on the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror increased, he gradually discovered that the flight function of the mobile rune wizarding tool was becoming increasingly useless.

In the end, the flight-related runes even became the biggest obstacle in the improvement process of the mobile rune wizarding tool.

Eventually, he simply removed the flight runes and transformed it into a completely different kind of rune wizarding tool.

Slamming this metal bracelet onto his left wrist, Jie Ming whispered in his heart: "Accelerate!"

An invisible energy surged into his body along the bracelet.

At the same time, Jie Ming felt as if the world around him had been pressed with a "slow-motion" button in that instant!

The Blood Angel's rapidly vibrating four wings became clearly visible in Jie Ming's eyes, and the vibration trajectory of every feather became distinct.

The divine power flowing around the Angel also became slow and sluggish, as if trapped in thick syrup.

Even the dust in the air seemed to be solidified, floating slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time seemed to have been stretched several times around him, bringing him incredible perception and reaction speed!

This was the function of the "Acceleration Rune Wizarding Tool," born from studying the technology in the "Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror"!

It could buff the user, increasing their "perception and reaction" speed by dozens of times!

However, the price of this powerful ability was also extremely high.

Every use would crazily accelerate one's own cellular metabolism, effectively accelerating the consumption of one's lifespan.

Moreover, the excessive information shock and the load brought by controlling this acceleration would also cause uncontrollable, intense pain in the brain and soul.

But all these shortcomings were for one single effect—to let Jie Ming break through his current reaction speed limit!

After using the "Acceleration Rune Wizarding Tool," as Jie Ming broke through the reaction speed limit of a Level 1 wizard, he could finally see the Blood Angel's movement trajectory clearly.

It was no longer a blurry afterimage, but a clearly discernible flash and turn every time!

Even with the boost of the "Acceleration Rune Wizarding Tool," even the flight spell he cast was much faster, able to barely keep up with the Blood Angel's astonishing speed.

Now that he could see the opponent's actions clearly, Jie Ming could finally fight the Blood Angel in the true sense!

Enduring the pain in his brain and soul that felt like it was deep in his marrow, Jie Ming locked onto the Blood Angel's position and even predicted his actions.

The dense barrage turned instantly, submerging him in the blink of an eye.

"Despicable heretic!" the Blood Angel roared in the rain of energy projectiles.

Although the destructive power of each energy projectile was insignificant to him, if he were hit by so many attacks simultaneously in an instant, even he, as an Angel, would die on the spot.

Forced by necessity, he could only dance his long sword into an impenetrable sword net.

Every swing carried bloody divine power, attempting to block or pierce through the endless energy projectiles.

At first, the Blood Angel could use exquisite swordsmanship to block while finding opportunities in the gaps of the barrage to launch counterattacks against Jie Ming.

However, Jie Ming was like an indestructible aerial fortress.

Every attack from the Blood Angel was steadily blocked by the shield constructed by the Level 4 wizarding tool on his body, causing ripples to splash.

Although the shield's light dimmed slightly under every impact, it never showed signs of collapsing.

"Want to kill me? You're still far from it!" Jie Ming's mocking voice, with the help of the acceleration rune, clearly reached the Blood Angel's ears.

He manipulated the rune ring behind him, and endless energy projectiles continued to pour out, completely shrouding the Blood Angel.

The Blood Angel gradually fell into a desperate situation.

His attacks could not break the defense, while Jie Ming's continuous energy barrage kept him running for his life, forcing him to constantly block and dodge.

Every time he flapped his wings and moved, it was accompanied by the tracking strikes of thousands of energy projectiles, and the bloody energy shield on his body was constantly shattered, revealing his rough skin.

Although these wounds recovered quickly under the effect of divine power, the mental exhaustion was constantly accumulating.

For a time, the two fell into a war of attrition.

The Blood Angel's expression became increasingly ugly.

He had been fighting for nearly an hour, and the divine power in his body was being consumed at high speed, but the wizard's energy barrage on the opposite side showed no signs of stopping.

Most importantly, this wizard's shield was still there!

"This attack, why can it continue?!" the Blood Angel roared in his heart.

He had already understood the release principle of Jie Ming's rune wizarding tools—this thing absorbed energy from the surrounding atmosphere to release attacks.

But with such large-scale consumption, even if the mental power were sufficient, the "magic power" around the opponent should not be enough at all.

He could not understand why Jie Ming could maintain such a terrifying barrage.

"It doesn't matter, the duration of his shield is almost up! By then—by then—" The Blood Angel's inner monologue could not continue; just as he thought Jie Ming's shield had disappeared and was preparing to find an opportunity to counterattack, Jie Ming calmly pulled another identical Level 4 defensive wizarding tool from his space!

As his mental power surged in, the old shield shattered completely at almost the same time, and a more solid and bright Level 4 shield was instantly applied to his body surface.

"Th-there's more?!" The Blood Angel almost vomited blood.

This was not a fair fight at all!

He was already feeling a bit anxious in his heart.

If this continued, the divine power in his body would sooner or later be completely exhausted, and by then, he would really be ground to death by this "monster" at the Level 1 wizard level!

In fact, Jie Ming was also quite anxious in his heart.

Behind him, among the three overlapping metal discs, the luster of the outermost one was slowly fading, becoming dim—this was the main reason he could maintain such a terrifying barrage.

These three metal discs were another type of rune wizarding tool, "Energy Storage Rune Wizarding Tool," which he had newly developed by researching the "Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror" combined with an elemental pool.

Each disc was equivalent to a small elemental pool, continuously providing an endless supply of energy for Jie Ming's rune wizarding tools.

But the manufacturing and charging of these discs were extremely difficult.

Even with Jie Ming's wealth, he had only saved up three over so many years.

Once these three discs were completely exhausted, he would have to rely on the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror to run away!

Although both were anxious in their hearts, neither could show it.

On the contrary, they were still hurling trash talk at each other in the air.

"Is that all you've got? The great and noble Blood Angel?" Jie Ming's tone was relaxed, carrying extreme mockery. "This little bit of divine power isn't enough for me to warm up! I said it before, I have plenty of time, and I can spend the whole day with you!"

Divine power surged around the Blood Angel, and he roared while hard-tanking the bombardment of an energy barrage: "Arrogant heretic! This Angel will tear apart your turtle shell sooner or later! By then, you will pay the price for your stupidity!"

"Heh! You're quite arrogant with your words, but aren't you still struggling hard just to stay alive right now?!"

"Heretic!"

"Is that all the words you know?!"

"Damn heretic!"

"Damn it, I'm trying so hard, why are you still alive?!"

In this prolonged and intense battle, the huge commotion naturally attracted a steady stream of indigenous people who came to support or check the situation.

However, these indigenous people, with a maximum strength of only Level 2, whether they were orc warriors on the ground or giant eagle knights in the air, were completely annihilated in the torrent of light before they could even struggle when facing Jie Ming's exaggerated barrage composed of thousands of energy projectiles, leaving not even bones behind.

By the end, no one dared to come and check this area anymore, and it had become the exclusive battlefield for Jie Ming and the Blood Angel; such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the gods.

However, the rules of the Elosia plane had extremely strict restrictions on creatures with strength above a certain level wanting to enter the mortal world—not to mention that there was a group of wizards lurking outside the world.

Even if those gods were furious, they dared not descend easily, fearing that taking action in the mortal world would cause the wizards to take the opportunity to invade, or expose their weak side.

For a time, the situation persisted in such a bizarre way.

A Level 3 living being was being dragged here by a Level 1 wizard using a method that was almost like cheating, unable to break free.

And Jie Ming and the Blood Angel were both waiting for the other to exhaust their power first in this endless war of attrition.
