Chapter 186: Burrow Battle (Part 4)

Looking at the lava giant falling into the magma pool, Jie Ming panted slightly, and the light of the "Great Light Aspect" behind him also looked slightly dim.

These three predictive precision strikes did not consume much of the talisman wizarding tools and energy reserves; it was mainly the consumption of mental effort that was too much.

The difficulty of the high-level lava giant far exceeded his expectations, not only in terms of strength, but also in combat wisdom,

strategy, and adaptability, which were all quite exaggerated.

Jie Ming's cold gaze stared fixedly at the boiling magma lake surface, without any intention of relaxing his vigilance.

He knew that for this kind of elemental creature, falling into a magma pool was no different from falling into a resurrection spring; the damage the opponent received just now was not serious, and it could launch an attack at any time.

However, taking advantage of the time before the opponent came out, Jie Ming could deal with "other" enemies.

In fact, even while fighting a life-and-death battle with the Tier 3 lava giant just now, Jie Ming's mind was not completely focused on the Tier 3 lava giant in front of him.

The spirituality of the Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror was too rigid now, and it couldn't fight autonomously on this level of battlefield; at most, it could assist Jie Ming in mobilizing more power in an instant or solve some harassing counterattacks.

But on another level of the battlefield, the spirituality of the Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror was already enough.

So in the previous battle, Jie Ming was fighting the Tier 3 lava giant while using high-frequency sound waves to suppress the surroundings.

The diffusive high-frequency sound waves were enough to make the low-level lava giants around the two wizards fall into a brief stiffness.

Most importantly, Jie Ming also let the Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror mobilize the talisman wizarding tool on his wrist to clear away the Tier 1 and Tier 2 lava giants that were gradually gathering with a downgraded version of "Magma Annihilation"!

The goal was only one—to ensure that the other two wizards would not be surrounded and killed by a group of lava giants!

Jie Ming didn't do this out of kindness; it was purely a rational calculation.

He knew very well that even if he focused all his attention on fighting this Tier 3 lava giant, he couldn't defeat the opponent in a short time.

The opponent was in this high-temperature, high-pressure underground cavern, surrounded by endless magma lakes, and its energy replenishment was almost endless.

It was almost impossible to kill a Tier 3 lava giant that was originally stronger than himself in this situation, and he couldn't even win a war of attrition.

All he could do was drag time and wait for the wizard camp's support to arrive!

Under such a strategic premise, there was another very important problem to solve, and that was that the reinforcements on the lava giant side were also constantly increasing.

And coincidentally, the Tier 4 shield on Jie Ming's body could ensure that he wouldn't have any safety problems in the short term.

Instead of letting the situation gradually worsen and letting the other two wizards fall into a desperate situation or even be killed, causing his own battle line to collapse completely.

It was better to divert part of his energy while dealing with the Tier 3 lava giant to help clear the lava giants that were surrounding them,

so as to help the other two wizards relieve pressure!

This was undoubtedly indirectly maintaining the entire battle situation, not letting himself fall into a disadvantageous situation of being completely surrounded.

Judging from the scene, it was indeed only he who had the spare capacity to do so.

After all, the Tier 2 wizard on the other side was already extremely struggling to deal with that Tier 3 lava giant; he had already exerted the downgraded Tier 2 "Magma Annihilation" wizardry to the limit.

But with the assistance of the Tier 2 lava giants that popped out from nowhere, that Tier 3 lava giant didn't suffer any substantial damage at all.

As for the other Tier 1 wizard, it went without saying.

He was almost struggling on the line of death, barely maintaining his defensive spell, constantly avoiding the Tier 1 lava giants swarming up and the aftermath attacks of that Tier 3 lava giant.

If it weren't for Jie Ming's continuous fire support and clearing of the peripheral miscellaneous soldiers, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Before Jie Ming could clear much, the lava lake not far away erupted again, and that Tier 3 lava giant rushed out again unscathed.

"Spit!"

Looking at the lava giant that had suffered no losses at all, Jie Ming's expression was somewhat impatient, but he still lifted his spirits and greeted it again.

Not long after, Jie Ming blasted the Tier 3 lava giant in front of him away again.

The huge lava body rolled in the air and hit the stone wall, making a deafening loud noise.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Jie Ming took medicine to replenish his spiritual power while starting to think more deeply about the current situation.

Although he had crushed the magic net terminal and sent a distress signal.

But Jie Ming also knew that this kind of rescue mission took time, and he couldn't place all his hopes on support.

He began to consider whether there was any possibility of killing the opponent.

In the current situation, what he needed was a thunderous blow to reverse the disadvantage or even decide the outcome!

He did have quite a few Tier 4 attack-type wizarding tools he had purchased.

These wizarding tools were all high-quality goods, condensing powerful wizardry inside; if the attack could hit precisely, it could indeed kill this Tier 3 lava giant instantly.

However, it was still that problem.

There was a not-so-small gap between his own level and the wizarding tool; just activating it required consuming his extremely massive spiritual power, which would directly affect his operation of the Great Light Aspect.

Moreover, with his current strength, wanting to activate a Tier 4 wizarding tool would have a delay of nearly one second.

This might be fleeting and negligible in the eyes of mortals, but for transcendents, one second was really too long!

A Tier 1 wizard like Jie Ming could operate hundreds of different talisman wizarding tools with spiritual power in one second, let alone a transcendent existence like the Tier 3 lava giant in front of him.

Don't look at the lava giant's huge size, but due to the particularity of its ecological structure, this kind of thing's straight-line sprinting speed was exaggeratedly fast.

Although it was a bit worse in flexibility, and turning or avoiding was inconvenient, if it was just a straight-line charge, it was even faster than a Tier 2 wizard's flight technique.

If Jie Ming dared to activate a Tier 4 attack wizarding tool that required nearly a second of hovering before firing in this narrow underground cavern, under the eyes of everyone, that was simply looking for death!

Just the violent energy fluctuations during activation and the brief pause before the attack were enough for the lava giants to seize the opportunity to predict, thereby easily dodging the attack, and even taking the opportunity to counterattack!

Then, was there such a possibility: a wizardry that could guarantee a faster attack speed and also cause a one-hit kill to the Tier 3 lava giant in front of him?

"Yes, brother, yes—" Jie Ming suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but pull up a smile.

With the movement of his thoughts, a short-staff-like wizarding tool appeared in his hand out of thin air.

The short staff was pitch black, with only an oval crystal that was dim and lusterless embedded at the top.

This was a wizarding tool with Tier 2 "Magma Annihilation" recorded inside.

This thing came from Viola and could be considered a wizarding tool she helped him manufacture, half-sold and half-given.

However, after getting this wizarding tool, Jie Ming also believed Viola's statement at the time.

She said her alchemy level was poor; it wasn't self-deprecation, but really true!

Jie Ming had secretly analyzed this wizarding tool; the rune links inside were rough and simple, the energy diversion was mixed and disorganized, and it was completely piled up by Viola, a Tier 3 wizard, using massive spiritual power to "force it through with brute strength."

The manufacturing technique was so rough that even Jie Ming, a Tier 1 wizard who was well-versed in alchemy, couldn't bear to look at it.

But no matter what, this thing could indeed release Tier 2 Magma Annihilation.

And the theoretical power of Tier 2 "Magma Annihilation" was indeed enough to cause fatal damage to a Tier 3 lava giant.

Of course, after all, the wizardry level was relatively low; wanting to kill a Tier 3 lava giant with Tier 2 Magma Annihilation required precisely hitting the relatively core parts of the lava giant.

That is to say, at least hit the lava giant's chest or head, these key parts.

If it only hit the limbs or the edge of the torso, it could only cause huge damage, but couldn't kill it instantly!

This was also the reason why the Tier 2 wizard next to him, although he also mastered the downgraded version of "Magma Annihilation," still fought extremely hard when facing the Tier 3 lava giant.

In such an intense battle, wanting to precisely hit the core vital parts with insufficient firepower was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Jie Ming knew very well in his heart that if the target was not effectively restricted, even if it was released, it was very likely to be dodged by the lava giant, thereby wasting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"So, I have to wait for the opportunity." Jie Ming weighed in his heart.

He needed a perfect timing, a timing that could make the lava giant unable to dodge, or even in a state of stiffness.

Looking at the lava giant crawling up again in the distance, he prepared for battle while throwing the short staff behind him casually.

A silver light flashed, and one of the floating cannons that had been hovering behind him flew over actively as if it had spirituality.

Under Jie Ming's manipulation, the floating cannon used the side of its metal base to hold the short staff firmly.

The moment the side of the floating cannon touched the short staff, the surface of the metal base automatically opened and combined, instantly combining a side interface, perfectly fixing the short staff firmly beside the metal base.

Jie Ming was giving the authority to activate and fire this wizarding tool to the "Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror" hidden deep in his body.

In the previous battle, Jie Ming had already discovered that although the "Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror" was insufficient in spirituality and could not perform complex strategic judgments and respond to various unexpected unknown problems.

But because of the particularity of its own raw materials, it far exceeded his own flesh and blood in terms of pure computing power and reaction speed.

It could process massive amounts of combat data in an instant and find the most perfect activation timing.

Therefore, letting the "Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror" manipulate the short staff was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

What to do next was to lift his spirits and continue to delay, waiting for that unknown timing or the arrival of support.

However, Jie Ming also knew very well in his heart that that so-called timing might not appear.

After all, in the battle just now, the lava giant had already shown extreme body operation ability in a liquid state.

Wanting to reverse the situation with such a wizarding tool was almost impossible. ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
