Chapter 186: Cavern Battle (Part 4)
Looking at the lava giant falling into the magma pool, Benjamin breathed slightly, and the light of the "big light" behind him also dimmed slightly.
These three predictive and precise strikes did not consume much of the talismans, magic weapons, and energy reserves, but mainly consumed too much mental energy.
The difficulty of dealing with the high-level lava giant was far beyond his expectations. Not only was it powerful in strength, but its combat wisdom, strategy, and adaptability were also quite exaggerated.
Jemin stared at the boiling lava lake with his cold eyes, showing no intention of relaxing his vigilance.
He knew that for this kind of elemental creature, falling into a lava pool was no different from falling into a resurrection fountain. The damage it had just suffered was not serious, and it could continue to attack at any time.
However, before the other party comes out, Benjamin can deal with the "other" enemies.
In fact, even when he was fighting a life-and-death battle with the third-level lava giant, Benjamin's mind was not completely focused on the third-level lava giant in front of him.
The Five Elements Transformation into a Rainbow Mirror is currently too rigid in its spirituality and cannot fight independently on this level of battlefield. At most, it can assist Benjamin in mobilizing more forces in an instant, or resolve some harassing counterattacks.
But on another level of battlefield, the spiritual power of the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror is enough.
So in the previous battle, while fighting the third-level lava giant, Benjamin was also using high-frequency sound waves to suppress the surroundings.
The diffuse high-frequency sound waves were enough to cause the low-level lava giants around the two wizards to become temporarily stiff.
Most importantly, Benjamin also let the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror mobilize the talisman magic weapon on his wrist and use the downgraded version of "Lava Annihilation" to clear out the first and second level lava giants that were gradually gathering!
There is only one purpose - to ensure that the other two wizards will not be besieged and killed by a group of lava giants!
Benjamin did this not out of kindness, but simply out of rational calculation.
He knew very well that even if he focused all his attention on fighting this level three lava giant, it would be impossible to defeat the opponent in a short period of time.
The other party is in this high-temperature and high-pressure underground cave, surrounded by an endless lava lake, and the energy supply is almost endless.
In this situation, it is almost impossible to kill a level three lava giant that is stronger than yourself, and you can't even win by competing in consumption.
All he could do was to delay time and wait for the support from the wizard camp to arrive!
Under this strategic premise, there is still a very important problem to be solved, that is, the reinforcements from the lava giant are also increasing.
Coincidentally, the level 4 shield on Benjamin's body can ensure that he will not have any safety problems in the short term.
Rather than letting the situation get worse and worse, and letting the other two wizards fall into despair or even be killed, thus causing the complete collapse of their own front line.
It would be better to devote some energy to helping clear out the surrounding lava giants while dealing with the third-level lava giant, so as to relieve the pressure on the other two wizards!
This undoubtedly indirectly maintained the entire battle situation and prevented him from falling into a disadvantageous situation of being surrounded from all sides.
Judging from the situation, he was indeed the only one who had the energy to do so.
After all, the second-level wizard on the other side was already struggling to deal with the third-level lava giant. He had already used the downgraded second-level "Lava Annihilation" spell to its limit.
But with the help of the second-level lava giant that came out from nowhere, the third-level lava giant did not suffer any substantial damage at all.
As for the other first-level wizard, there is no need to mention it.
He was almost struggling on the brink of death, and could only barely maintain the defensive spell, constantly avoiding the swarming first-level lava giants and the aftermath of the third-level lava giant.
If it weren't for Jieming's continuous fire support and clearing of the outer miscellaneous soldiers, he would have collapsed long ago.
Before Benjamin could clean up much, the lava lake not far away erupted again, and the third-level lava giant rushed out of it intact again.
“Tsk!”
Looking at the lava giant that suffered no damage at all, Jemin looked a little impatient, but he still cheered up and went forward again.
Not long after, Jemin blasted the third-level lava giant in front of him away again.
The huge body of lava rolled in the air and hit the stone wall, making a deafening noise.
Taking advantage of this brief respite, Benjamin took drugs to replenish his mental strength while beginning to think more deeply about the current situation.
Although he had crushed the magic network terminal and sent out a distress signal.
But Benjamin also knew that this kind of rescue mission would take time, and he couldn't put all his hopes on support.
He began to consider whether it was possible to kill the other party.
In this situation, what he needs is a thundering blow that can reverse the disadvantage and even decide the outcome!
He did have quite a few level 4 offensive magical weapons that he had purchased.
Each of these magical weapons is a masterpiece, and they contain extremely powerful witchcraft. If the attack can hit the target accurately, it can indeed kill this level 3 lava giant in seconds.
However, the problem remains.
There is a big gap between his own level and the magical weapon. Just activating it will consume a huge amount of his mental power, which will directly affect his operation of the Great Light Phase.
Moreover, with his current strength, there would be a delay of nearly one second when he wanted to activate a fourth-level magical weapon.
This may seem fleeting and negligible to mortals, but for extraordinary people, one second is too long!
A first-level wizard like Jemin can use his mental power to operate hundreds of different talismanic magical tools in one second.
Not to mention the extraordinary existence like the third-level lava giant in front of him.
Although the lava giant is huge in size, due to the special ecological structure of its ecological structure, its straight-line sprint speed is extremely fast.
Although it is less flexible and has difficulty turning or evading, if it is just charging in a straight line, it is even faster than the flying spell of a second-level wizard.
If Benjamin dared to activate a fourth-level attack magic weapon that could only be launched after staying in the air for nearly one second in this narrow underground cave in full view of everyone, he would be courting death!
The violent energy fluctuations at the start-up and the brief pause before the attack are enough for the lava giants to seize the opportunity to predict, thereby easily avoiding the attack and even taking the opportunity to counterattack!
So, is there such a possibility: to ensure a faster attack speed and at the same time to inflict a one-hit kill on the third-level lava giant in front of you?
"Some brothers, some..." Benjamin suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but force a smile.
As his mind turned, a short staff-shaped magical weapon appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The short staff was completely black, with only a dull oval crystal embedded on the top.
This is a magical weapon with the second level "Lava Annihilation" engraved on it.
This thing came from Viola, and it was a magical weapon that she made for him at a discount.
However, after getting this magic weapon, Benjamin also believed what Viola said at the time.
When she said her alchemy skills were poor, it wasn't just modesty; it was the truth!
Benjamin had secretly analyzed this magical weapon. The rune links inside it were crude and simple, and the energy flow was chaotic and disorganized. It was completely built by Viola, a third-level wizard, with her huge mental power.
The manufacturing method was so crude that even Benjamin, a first-level wizard who was well versed in alchemy, couldn't stand it.
But no matter what, this thing can indeed release secondary lava annihilation.
The theoretical power of the second-level "Lava Annihilation" is indeed enough to cause fatal damage to the third-level lava giant.
Of course, after all, the witchcraft level is relatively low. If you want to kill a level 3 lava giant with level 2 lava annihilation, you must accurately hit the relatively core part of the lava giant.
In other words, at least hit the lava giant's chest or head, which are key parts.
If it only hits the limbs or the edge of the torso, it can only cause huge damage but cannot kill with one blow!
This is also the reason why the second-level wizard next to him, although he also mastered the downgraded version of "Lava Annihilation", still had a very difficult time fighting against the third-level lava giant.
In such a fierce battle, it is almost impossible to accurately hit the core vital points when the firepower is insufficient.
Benjamin knew very well that if the target was not effectively restricted, even if it was released, it would most likely be avoided by the lava giant, thus wasting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"So, I can only wait for the opportunity." Benjamin weighed it in his heart.
He needed a perfect timing, a timing that would make the lava giant unable to dodge or even freeze him.
Looking at the lava giant climbing up again in the distance, he prepared for battle and casually threw his short staff behind him.
A silver light flashed, and the floating cannon that had been floating behind him flew over on its own initiative as if it had a spirit.
Under Jemin's control, the floater used the side of its metal base to firmly catch the short staff.
The moment the side of the floater touches the short staff, the surface of the metal base automatically opens and closes, instantly forming a side interface that perfectly fixes the short staff firmly next to the metal base.
This gave Benjamin the authority to activate and launch the magical weapon, giving him the "Five Elements Transformation into Rainbow Mirror" hidden deep within his body.
In the previous battle, Benjamin had discovered that although the "Five Elements Transformation into Rainbow Mirror" lacked spirituality, it was unable to make complex strategic judgments and deal with various sudden and unknown problems.
However, due to the special nature of its raw materials, its computing power and reaction speed far exceed his own flesh and blood.
It can process massive amounts of combat data in an instant and find the perfect time to launch.
Therefore, letting the "Five Elements Transformed into Rainbow Mirror" control the short staff is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.
What we need to do next is to cheer up and continue to delay, waiting for the unknown opportunity or the arrival of support.
However, Benjamin knew very well that the so-called opportunity might not come.
After all, in the battle just now, the lava giant has demonstrated his ultimate body manipulation ability in liquid state.
It is almost impossible to turn the situation around with just such a magical weapon.
