Chapter 187: Burrow Battle (Part 5)

This Tier 3 lava giant that Jie Ming was fighting was not an ordinary lava giant general.

At the beginning of its birth, besides scorching magma, mixed but unique energy flowed in its body.

From the moment of birth, the lava giant Haier Alvarez Alex Atkinson knew from its inherited information that it was a rare "Prophet" variant in the lava giant population.

"Prophets" had an unusual status in the lava giant population; they could predict what was going to happen in the future to a certain extent.

This kind of prediction was not a clear picture, but a fuzzy energy flow and trend prediction, allowing them to avoid danger or grasp opportunities in advance.

According to the lava giants, this was the prophets receiving revelations from their ancestors.

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

So it could view the information database of the plane origin unconsciously, thereby "predicting the future" to a certain extent.

This time, the reason this lava giant prophet ambushed at the entrance was precisely because it vaguely predicted that enemies would break in here.

However, its predictive ability was not omnipotent either.

It initially predicted that the human power breaking in here shouldn't be too strong, thinking that the existing lava giants in the "nest" were enough to cope, so it didn't choose to seek reinforcements from other more powerful gathering places.

At the beginning of the battle, the direction of the battlefield was still within its expectations—a arrogant wizard squad, a few low-level existences that could be easily crushed, and itself waiting for a rabbit.

But what it didn't expect was that this small bug that had been blasted away by it just now, looking like it was only at the "low-level soldier" level, would be so tricky!

Relying on that terrifying turret-like firepower and its almost "undying" defensive posture, this wizard clearly didn't have a strong power level, yet could still hold it back firmly!

What was even more troublesome was that during the battle, its predictive ability gave a warning again at this moment.

More dangers were approaching here at an unimaginable speed.

The power of one of the enemies had even reached the level of a "high-level general"!

It couldn't drag on like this anymore.

If the wizards' reinforcements arrived, it... would die!

The lava giant prophet tried several violent close-range breakthroughs, all of which were blocked by Jie Ming's continuous barrage and solid shield.

Its roars became more and more manic, and the magma in its body churned endlessly, but it just couldn't break through the obstacles in front of it.

Anger and anxiety filled its huge body.

"Damn! Must solve him immediately!"

Under huge pressure, the lava giant prophet quickly searched the knowledge stored in its soul.

Suddenly it paused, and a strange light flashed in its eyes.

"Got it!"

It suddenly thought of a certain relatively special secret technique; that was a special ability that every prophet automatically learned at the beginning of its birth.

To put it plainly, this kind of secret technique was not any special magical power, but a simple mental and cognitive curse.

It could interfere with the opponent's judgment and cognition to a certain extent, making the target produce brief confusion and hesitation.

Under normal circumstances, the most important role of this secret technique for the lava giant prophet was to allow those simple-minded lava giant soldiers who lacked thinking ability to firmly and unconditionally obey its orders and prophecies.

As for facing those high-level lava giants, it could also use this secret technique to make them believe its prophecies more.

Simply put, a technique dedicated to charlatans.

Within the population, this ability was rarely used directly in battle.

After all, as a prophet who was a special variant of the lava giant, it possessed stronger combat power itself.

They could manipulate the power of the earth's veins more, borrow the majestic energy deep in the volcano to strengthen themselves, and their melee ability and elemental manipulation power were all stronger than ordinary lava giants of the same level.

Usually, they didn't need this kind of crooked interference.

However, today, used during battle as a means to interfere with the judgment of the weird wizard in front of it, it was very likely to be useful!

As long as he hesitated for an instant, it would have enough confidence to break through this guy's defense line and tear the other wizard to pieces!

Thus, during the next full-force charge, the lava giant prophet condensed all its energy and anger, and its huge body rushed forward with huge momentum.

At the same time, a trace of invisible and intangible mental curse fluctuation shot toward Jie Ming silently!

It was perfectly hidden under the scorching energy fluctuations of the prophet, making it difficult to detect.

The curse fluctuation, like an invisible poisonous snake, made contact with Jie Ming immediately relying on vision.

But just at the moment it was about to take effect, the power of this curse touched a layer of barrier.

That was the "Xuan Xuan Gang Hong Chen Barrier" that had been circling Jie Ming's body all along.

This protective treasure, refined from massive amounts of Red Dust Qi and Gang Sha Qi, had always been attached to Jie Ming's body surface silently.

The moment the curse struck, the massive amount of evil spirit and Red Dust Qi stored inside erupted suddenly like a prehistoric beast that had been angered!

The guiding power of the curse instead became a channel for the Xuan Xuan Gang Hong Chen Barrier to vent its power.

Just in a flash, most of the evil spirit and Red Dust Qi stored in the protective treasure followed the connection of the curse, along the invisible mental veins, and surged back like a violent tide in an even more violent way!

This was not just a simple spiritual power rebound, but an impact from the depths of the Red Dust, the chaotic emotions of thousands of living beings; that was the most essential pollution and shaking of the soul!

Jie Ming himself didn't expect that the timing he had never looked forward to would appear in front of him so inexplicably.

Jie Ming only knew that the lava giant that was originally churning with magma and roaring crazily while charging at him suddenly stopped its movements weirdly in the middle of the charge, as if it had been grabbed by the throat by an invisible hand.

Its two huge eyes lost all focus and luster at this moment, becoming abnormally blank!

As if its consciousness had been completely emptied by some incomprehensible power at this moment.

Only the hollow shell remained, standing still, and the magma that was originally violent around its body also became stagnant, as if frozen in the air.

Although Jie Ming didn't know exactly what had happened, and didn't know why such a weird change suddenly appeared in the lava giant's body.

But the instruction he had given before was perfectly executed by the "Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror"!

Even faster than Jie Ming himself realized that this was absolutely the best opportunity.

Almost at the same instant the lava giant prophet fell into a blank state, the metal floating cannon carrying the Tier 2 "Magma Annihilation" behind Jie Ming erupted with dazzling light!

The oval crystal on the short staff was activated instantly, and an energy ray that was twice as fast as that released by ordinary wizards, carrying a clearly visible rune spiral, shot out from the cannon muzzle like lightning.

Its target was precisely the lava giant prophet's most fragile energy gathering point—the magma cavity in the chest!

Click!

A precise sound that only Jie Ming and the "Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror" could capture rang out, representing that the rune ray had hit the lava giant prophet's most fragile energy gathering part without any obstruction!

The powerful "Magma Annihilation" wizardry exerted its effect instantly!

After the ray hit, the lava giant's huge body did not crack, but instead began to show fine cracks from the inside out starting from the energy gathering point!

Those originally flowing magmas became grayish-white as if their essence had been drained, then quickly solidified, and finally turned into countless tiny sand dust, collapsing powerlessly from the cracks!

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

Its body turned into scorched black sand dust flying in the sky, and together with that blank head, it also collapsed, finally dissipating into nothingness, leaving only a small puddle of pure mineral residue smoking white on the spot.

Those huge eyes also lost their activity at this moment, becoming dim and lusterless, falling onto the scorched black ground.

This Tier 3 lava giant prophet, which was a huge threat, was killed instantly just like this!

Silence descended at this moment, as if even the flow of magma around it had solidified.

The other Tier 3 lava giant that was fighting with the Tier 2 wizard also seemed to have sensed something, and let out a roar of anger suddenly, the magma around its body surging, as if it was brewing power.

However, Jie Ming didn't give it any chance to react.

"Kill!" Jie Ming's eyes lit up instantly.

With a thought, the torrent of talisman seals of the huge "Great Light Aspect" behind him turned direction instantly.

Thousands of crystal-like talisman wizarding tools originally used to suppress the lava giant prophet surged toward the other Tier 3 lava giant like a tide.

At the same time, the attack-type talisman wizarding tool on his wrist that had Tier 1 "Magma Annihilation" recorded also erupted with dazzling light, and strands of precise and sharp energy blades blasted directly toward that Tier 3 lava giant like a storm!

That Tier 2 wizard was in a desperate situation at this moment; his spiritual power was more than half consumed, and the shield on his body was crumbling.

"Good opportunity!" Seeing the situation reverse, the Tier 2 wizard roared, squeezing out the last bit of potential in his body.

His staff emitted dark green light again, and a powerful Tier 2 "Magma Annihilation" wizardry was precisely guided toward the Tier 3 lava giant in front of him.

Unlike Jie Ming's attacks that were so fast they were almost instantaneous, his spellcasting process, although delayed, had no deviation in the choice of the hit part—pointing directly at the lava giant's chest energy gathering point!

Bang!!!

Jie Ming's and the Tier 2 wizard's attacks hit simultaneously!

Jie Ming's dense energy bullets and light blades exploded on the surface of the Tier 3 lava giant; although they couldn't cause fatal damage, they effectively delayed its huge body, making it unable to effectively avoid.

And the "Magma Annihilation" that condensed the Tier 2 wizard's full strength took this opportunity to precisely hit its relatively fragile energy gathering area!

The light of the wizardry erupted inside the lava giant, and it let out a painful wail, its huge body trembling violently!

The magma around its body began to become disordered, and the color of its body gradually became dim from the scorching crimson.

It tried to struggle, tried to absorb the surrounding magma to make up for the damage.

But its body also began to disintegrate from the inside out rapidly and irreversibly like a sandcastle, finally turning into dust in the sky, and it didn't even let out a complete wail before it completely dissipated in this underground space!

Two Tier 3 lava giants, all fallen!
