Cultivating in the Wizard World-Chapter 201 - 185: Cave Battle (4)

Watching the Magma Giant fall into the magma pool, Jeming panted slightly, and the light of the "Great Light Appearance" behind him dimmed somewhat.

The consumption of these three predictive precision strikes with the Talisman Witchcraft and energy reserves was not significant, mainly because of excessive heart power consumption.

The troublesome nature of the High Level Magma Giant far exceeded his expectations. Not only was it powerful in strength, but its combat intelligence, strategy, and adaptability were also quite exaggerated.

Jeming’s cold gaze fixed on the bubbling magma lake surface, showing no sign of letting down his guard.

He knew that for such elemental creatures, falling into the magma pool was no different than falling into a resurrection spring; the damage it took just now wasn’t severe, and it could launch an attack again at any time.

However, during the time before it reemerged, Jeming could deal with "other" enemies.

In fact, even previously, while engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Third Level Magma Giant, Jeming’s focus wasn’t entirely on the Third Level Magma Giant in front of him.

The Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror’s current spirituality was too rigid, unable to autonomously fight on a battlefield of this level; at most, it assisted Jeming in momentarily mobilizing more power or resolving some harassing counterattacks.

But in another level of battlefield, the spirituality of the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror was sufficient.

So during the previous battle, while fighting the Third Level Magma Giant, Jeming also used high-frequency sound waves for suppression around.

The spreading high-frequency sound waves were enough to cause the low-level Magma Giants around the two Wizards to become temporarily rigid. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Most importantly, Jeming also had the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror mobilize the Talisman Witchcraft on his wrist, using a downgraded version of "Magma Annihilation" to clear out the gathering First Level and Second Level Magma Giants!

The goal was singular—to ensure that the other two Wizards wouldn’t be besieged to death by a swarm of Magma Giants!

Jeming did this not out of a sudden great kindness, but purely a rational calculation.

He knew very well that even if he focused all his attention on battling this Third Level Magma Giant, he couldn’t defeat it in a short time.

This opponent was situated inside a high-temperature, high-pressure underground cave, surrounded by a constantly replenishing magma lake, with seemingly infinite energy supply.

Trying to take down a Third Level Magma Giant, whose strength was already greater than his own, under such circumstances, was almost impossible, and he couldn’t even outlast it in consumption.

What he could do was buy time, waiting for reinforcements from the Wizard Camp to arrive!

Under such strategic premises, there was also an important problem to solve: the reinforcements from the Magma Giant’s side were also continuously increasing.

And as luck would have it, the Fourth Level Shield on Jeming allowed him to ensure he wouldn’t encounter any safety issues in the short term.

Rather than allowing the situation to deteriorate gradually, letting the other two Wizards fall into desperation or even get killed, thus causing a total collapse of their frontline.

It was better for him to simultaneously deal with the Third Level Magma Giant and allocate some of his focus to clear the surrounding Magma Giants, thereby helping the other two Wizards relieve pressure!

This was undoubtedly an indirect way to maintain the overall battle situation, preventing himself from falling into a position of being completely besieged.

From the scene, it was apparent that only he had the leeway to do so.

After all, the Second Level Wizard on the other side was already struggling to deal with that Third Level Magma Giant, having pushed the downgraded Second Level "Magma Annihilation" witchcraft to its limits.

But aided by the Second Level Magma Giants that suddenly emerged from who knows where, that Third Level Magma Giant hadn’t sustained any substantial damage.

As for the other First Level Wizard, it was even worse.

He was almost struggling on the edge of death, barely maintaining the Defense Spell, constantly evading the swarming First Level Magma Giants and the residual attacks from that Third Level Magma Giant.

If it weren’t for Jeming’s persistent fire support and clearing out the external riffraff, he might not have held on by now.

Before Jeming could clear much, the magma lake not far away erupted again, and that Third Level Magma Giant emerged unscathed.

"Tsk!"

Looking at the Magma Giant with no significant losses, Jeming’s expression displayed some impatience, but he perked up and rushed forward again.

Before long, Jeming once again blasted the Third Level Magma Giant in front of him away.

The massive magma body rolled through the air, crashing into the stone wall with a thunderous boom.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Jeming replenished his spiritual power with potions and began to think more deeply about the current situation.

Though he had already crushed the Magic Network Terminal, sending out a distress signal.

Jeming also knew that such a rescue mission would take time, and he couldn’t place all his hopes on reinforcements.

He began considering the possibility of taking down this opponent.

In this situation, what he needed was a thunderous blow to turn the tide or even decide victory or defeat!

He indeed still had quite a few Fourth Level Attack-type Witchcraft artifacts he had purchased.

Each of these artifacts was a fine piece, containing powerful witchcraft internally, and if the attack could land precisely, it could indeed annihilate the Third Level Magma Giant in one shot.

However, the issue remained.

The gap between his current level and the witchcraft artifact was significant, and merely activating it consumed an enormous amount of his spiritual power, which would directly affect his control over the Great Light Appearance.

Moreover, with his current strength, trying to activate a Fourth Level Witchcraft would have an activation delay of nearly a second.

For ordinary people, this might seem instantaneous and negligible, but for Transcendents, a second is far too long!

Even a First Level Wizard like Jeming could operate several hundred different Talisman Witchcraft in a second using spiritual power.

Not to mention the transcendent existence of a Third Level Magma Giant in front of him.

Despite its massive size, due to the peculiarities of its ecological structure, this creature’s straight-line sprinting speed was incredibly fast.

Although it lacks agility in maneuvering or evasion, if it’s just a straight charge, it could be even faster than a Second Level Wizard using the Flying Skill.

If Jeming dared to activate a Fourth Level Attack Witchcraft, which takes nearly a second to fire, in this narrow underground hollow in front of everyone, it would be suicidal!

The intense energy fluctuation upon activation and the brief pause before the attack would be enough for the Magma Giants to seize the opportunity to anticipate, evade the attack easily, or even counterattack!

Then, is there a way to ensure a faster attack speed while delivering a fatal blow to the Third Level Magma Giant in front of him?

"There is, brother, there is..." Jeming suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but smile.

As his thoughts raced, a short staff-style witchcraft artifact appeared in his hand out of thin air.

The short staff was entirely black, with a dull, oval crystal embedded at its tip.

This was a witchcraft artifact inscribed with the Second Level "Magma Annihilation."

This item came from Viola, made for him with her help, half sold and half gifted.

However, after acquiring this artifact, Jeming also believed Viola’s statement at the time.

She claimed her Alchemy skills were poor, and it wasn’t humble, but the truth!

Jeming had secretly analyzed the artifact, its internal Rune Link coarse and rudimentary, with energy flow haphazard and chaotic, all forcefully cobbled together by Viola, a Third Level Wizard, using her vast spiritual power in a manner akin to "Great Strength Bricks Fly."

The manufacturing technique was so rough that even Jeming, a First Level Wizard well-versed in Alchemy, found it hard to look at.

But no matter what, this thing could indeed release a Second Level Magma Annihilation.

The theoretical power of the Second Level Magma Annihilation was certainly enough to inflict lethal damage on a Third Level Magma Giant.

Of course, since the witchcraft level is relatively low, to kill a Third Level Magma Giant with Second Level Magma Annihilation, it must accurately hit relatively core parts of the Magma Giant.

In other words, it at least needs to hit critical parts like the Magma Giant’s chest or head.

If it merely hits the limbs or the fringe of the torso, it can cause significant damage but won’t be a one-hit kill!

This is why the nearby Second Level Wizard, although also mastered the downgraded version of "Magma Annihilation," still fought exceptionally hard against the Third Level Magma Giant.

In such intense combat, trying to precisely hit the core weak points with insufficient firepower is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Jeming knew very well that if the target was not effectively restrained, even if it’s released, there’s a high possibility it could be dodged by the Magma Giant, thus wasting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"So, I can only wait for the opportunity." Jeming weighed in his heart.

He needed a perfect timing, a moment when the Magma Giant couldn’t dodge, or better yet, was in a state of rigidity.

Watching the Magma Giant climb back up in the distance, he prepared for battle while casually tossing the short staff behind him.

A silver light flashed, and the Floating Cannon that had been hovering behind him automatically flew over as if it had a spirit.

Under Jeming’s control, the Floating Cannon used the side of its metallic base to catch the short staff steadily.

The moment the Floating Cannon’s side made contact with the short staff, the surface of the metal base automatically opened and closed, instantly forming a side interface that perfectly secured the short staff next to the metal base.

Jeming had granted the authority to activate and fire this witchcraft artifact to the "Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror" hidden deep in his body.

In the previous battles, Jeming had already discovered that although the "Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror" lacked complex strategic judgement due to insufficient spirituality, it far surpassed his flesh and blood in pure computational ability and reaction speed.

It could instantly process massive amounts of combat data and identify the most perfect activation timing.

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

The next step was to stay vigilant and continue stalling, waiting for that unknown timing or for reinforcements to arrive.

But Jeming was also very aware that this so-called timing might never come.

After all, during the earlier battles, the Magma Giant had already demonstrated an extreme ability to manipulate its body in a liquid state.

Relying on such a witchcraft artifact to turn the tide was nearly impossible.
