Chapter 187: Cave Battle (V)
The third-level lava giant fighting against Jemin was not an ordinary lava giant general.
At the beginning of its birth, in addition to the hot magma, there was also a complex but unique energy flowing in its body.
From the moment of its birth, the lava giant Haye Alvarez Alex Atkinson knew from his inherited information that it was a rare "prophet" variant among the lava giants.
"Prophets" have an extraordinary status among the lava giants. They can predict what will happen in the future to a certain extent.
This foresight is not a clear picture, but a vague prediction of energy flow and trends, which enables them to avoid danger or seize opportunities in advance.
According to the lava giants, this was a revelation received by the prophets from their ancestors.
However, wizards believe that this special variant should be born with the ability to communicate with the origin of the plane to a certain extent.
Therefore, one can unconsciously view the information database of the plane's origin, and thus "predict the future" to a certain extent.
This time, the reason why the lava giant prophet ambushed at the entrance was because he vaguely predicted that an enemy would break in here.
However, its predictive ability is not omnipotent.
It initially predicted that the human force that broke in here should not be too strong, and believed that the existing lava giants in the "nest" would be enough to deal with it, so it did not choose to seek reinforcements from other more powerful gathering places.
When the battle began, the direction of the battlefield was within its expectations - a group of arrogant wizards, several low-level beings that could be easily crushed, and itself waiting for an opportunity.
But what it didn't expect was that the tiny insect in front of it, which looked like a mere "low-level soldier" and was blown away by it, would be so troublesome!
This wizard, relying on his terrifying artillery-like firepower and his almost "immortal" defensive posture, was able to hold him back even though his power level was obviously not strong!
What's more troublesome is that during the battle, its predictive ability once again gave a warning.
There are more dangers approaching here at an unimaginable speed.
The strength of one of the enemies has even reached the level of a "senior general"!
We can't delay this any longer.
If the wizards' reinforcements arrive, it... will die!
The Lava Giant Prophet attempted several fierce close-range breakthroughs, but was blocked by Jemin's continuous barrage of bullets and solid shield.
Its roar became more and more frantic, and the lava in its body churned endlessly, but it just couldn't break through the obstacle in front of it.
Anger and anxiety filled its huge body.
"Damn it! He must be dealt with immediately!"
Under tremendous pressure, the Lava Giant Prophet quickly searched for the knowledge stored in his soul.
Suddenly it stopped abruptly, and a strange light flashed in its eyes.
“Got it!”
It suddenly thought of a special secret method, which was a special ability that every prophet automatically learned at birth.
To put it bluntly, this secret technique is not actually a special magical power, but a simple mental and cognitive curse.
It can interfere with the opponent's judgment and cognition to a certain extent, causing the target to have brief confusion and hesitation.
Under normal circumstances, the most important function of this secret technique for the Lava Giant Prophet is to enable those simple-minded Lava Giant soldiers who lack the ability to think to resolutely and unconditionally obey his orders and prophecies.
As for facing those high-level lava giants, this secret method can also be used to make them believe in their predictions more.
Simply put, it is a technique used exclusively by charlatans.
Within the tribe, this ability is rarely used directly in combat.
After all, as a special variant of the Lava Giant, the Prophet possesses stronger combat power.
They can manipulate the power of the earth veins more and use the tremendous energy deep in the volcano to strengthen themselves. Their melee ability and elemental control are slightly stronger than ordinary lava giants of the same level.
Normally, they don't need this kind of unconventional interference.
However, today, it is very likely to be useful as a means to interfere with the judgment of this strange wizard in front of you during battle!
If he hesitated for just a moment, it would be confident enough to break through this guy's defense and completely tear the other wizard apart!
So, during the next all-out charge, the Lava Giant Prophet gathered all the energy and anger in his body, and rushed forward with his huge body and enormous power.
At the same time, an invisible and intangible spiritual curse wave shot towards Jemin silently!
It was perfectly hidden under the prophet's fiery energy fluctuations, making it difficult to detect.
The curse wave was like an invisible poisonous snake, and it immediately touched Benjamin's body through vision.
But just as it was about to take effect, the power of the curse touched a barrier.
That was the "Xuan Gang Red Dust Barrier" that had always surrounded Benjamin.
This protective treasure, made from a vast amount of mortal energy and evil energy, has been silently attached to Jieming's body.
At the moment the curse struck, the vast amount of evil spirit and worldly energy stored inside it suddenly erupted like an enraged prehistoric beast!
The guiding power of the curse has become a channel for Xuan Gang Red Dust Barrier to vent its power.
In just a moment, most of the evil spirit and worldly energy stored in the protective treasure, along the connection of the curse and the invisible spiritual veins, instantly backfired in a more violent way like a raging tide!
This is not just a simple rebound of mental power, but also an impact from the chaotic emotions of thousands of living beings in the depths of the mortal world. It is the most essential pollution and shaking of the soul!
Benjamin himself did not expect that the opportunity he had not been looking forward to would appear before his eyes so inexplicably.
All Ben knew was that the lava giant in front of him, which was originally surrounded by lava and charging towards him with a mad roar, was suddenly grabbed by the throat by an invisible hand when it was halfway through the attack, and all its movements came to a strange halt.
Its two huge eyes lost all focus and spirit at this moment, becoming extremely confused!
It was as if its consciousness was completely drained away by some incomprehensible force at this moment.
Only the empty shell remained, standing there, and the originally violent lava around it became stagnant, as if frozen in the air.
Although Jemin didn't know what exactly happened, he didn't know why such strange changes suddenly occurred in the lava giant's body.
But the instructions he had issued before were perfectly executed by the "Five Elements Transforming into Rainbow Mirror"!
Even faster than Jemin himself realized that this was definitely the best opportunity.
Almost at the same moment when the Lava Giant Prophet fell into a dazed state, the metal floating cannon behind Benjamin, which was carrying the second-level "Lava Annihilation", suddenly burst out with dazzling light!
The dull oval crystal on the short staff was instantly activated, and a ray of energy twice as fast as that released by an ordinary wizard, with a clearly visible rune spiral, shot out from the muzzle like lightning.
Its target is the lava cavity, the energy gathering point in the empty and confused chest of the Lava Giant Prophet!
Click!
A precise sound that could only be captured by Jemin and the "Five Elements Rainbow Mirror" was heard, indicating that the rune ray hit the most vulnerable energy gathering part of the Lava Giant Prophet without any hindrance!
The powerful "Lava Annihilation" spell took effect instantly!
After the ray hit, the huge body of the lava giant not only did not break, but fine cracks began to appear from the inside out from the energy gathering point!
The originally flowing lava seemed to have lost its essence at this moment, turning grayish white, then quickly solidifying, and finally turning into countless fine sand and dust, collapsing powerlessly from the cracks!
In just a few seconds, the entire huge body of the lava giant prophet completely disintegrated from the inside out like a weathered sculpture!
Its body turned into flying black sand and dust, and along with its dazed head, it collapsed and eventually dissipated into nothingness, leaving only a small pool of pure mineral residue emitting white smoke in its place.
The huge eyes also lost their vitality at this moment, became dim and fell to the charred ground.
This threatening Level 3 Lava Giant Prophet was killed instantly!
Silence fell at this moment, as if even the flow of magma around it had solidified.
The third-level lava giant who was fighting with the second-level wizard on the other side seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly let out an angry roar, and lava surged around him, as if he was brewing strength.
However, Jermyn did not give it any chance to react.
"Kill!" Benjamin's eyes lit up instantly.
With a thought, the huge torrent of "Great Light" talismans behind him instantly changed direction.
Thousands of crystal-like talismanic magic weapons that were originally used to suppress the lava giant prophet now surged towards another level three lava giant like a tide.
At the same time, the offensive magic weapon with the first-level "Lava Annihilation" engraved on his wrist also burst out with dazzling light, and a series of precise and sharp energy blades bombarded the third-level lava giant directly like a storm!
The second-level wizard was in danger at the moment. He had consumed more than half of his mental power and his shield was crumbling.
"Good opportunity!" Seeing the situation turn around, the second-level wizard roared and squeezed out the last bit of potential in his body.
His staff emitted a dark green light again, and he accurately directed a powerful second-level "Lava Annihilation" spell towards the third-level lava giant in front of him.
Unlike Jemin's almost instantaneous attack, although there was a delay in his casting process, the choice of the hit point was accurate - directly at the energy gathering point on the lava giant's chest!
BANG!!!
The attacks of Benjamin and the second-level wizard hit almost at the same time!
Jemin's dense energy bombs and light blades exploded on the surface of the third-level lava giant. Although they could not cause fatal damage, they effectively delayed its huge body, making it unable to effectively evade.
The second-level wizard's "Lava Annihilation", which condensed all his strength, took this opportunity to accurately hit its relatively fragile energy gathering area!
The light of witchcraft erupted in the body of the lava giant, it let out a painful wail, and its huge body trembled violently!
The lava around it began to become chaotic, and the color of its body gradually changed from blazing red to dim.
It tried to struggle, attempting to absorb the surrounding magma to repair the damage.
But its body also began to disintegrate rapidly and irreversibly from the inside out like a sand castle, eventually turning into dust all over the sky. It couldn't even let out a complete wail before it completely dissipated in this underground space!
Two level three lava giants, all fallen!
