Chapter 205 Intelligence
A white rainbow light, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
The Five Elements Transformed into a Rainbow Mirror carried Benjamin's will to survive, and he fled madly towards the outline of the wizard camp in the distance at a speed beyond the normal limit.
Wherever the light passes, time and space seem to become blurred.
However, just as he was about to approach the camp's defense circle, a powerful and irresistible repulsive force suddenly acted on him!
That was the camp's outermost protective magic circle, which automatically triggered a forced repulsion mechanism after sensing an abnormal energy body approaching at high speed.
This magic circle is designed to resist ultra-high-speed physical or energy impacts. At this time, Benjamin's whole body was in a state of light, and the terminal could not send friendly signals normally, so it was identified as an enemy attack by the magic circle.
"puff--!"
Under the terrifying repulsive force, Benjamin was forced to exit the state of light transformation.
His body, which had originally merged into the light, was like being thrown out from a high-speed train. It was instantly restored, and the energy and blood in his body surged backwards like crazy!
He only felt as if he was hit head-on by an invisible mountain, his internal organs were dislocated, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
His condition at the moment was quite bad, almost half dead.
The light-transforming technique he had used up all of his true essence and mental strength, and his body had been squeezed to the limit.
At this moment, he was forcibly knocked out of the state of light by the brutal power of the protective magic circle.
The conflict between the two forces was like a bomb exploding in his body, causing him serious injuries.
This was all thanks to the fact that he had also practiced physical training and was strong enough, otherwise this blow would have been enough to send him away.
But Jemin's condition is not good now. He has even lost the most basic ability to maintain flying.
The whole person was like a kite with a broken string, falling straight down from the sky helplessly.
The wind was whistling in my ears and my consciousness was quickly fading.
"Fortunately... I won't fall to my death from this height..."
However, just as he was about to fall to the ground in a mess, Benjamin felt that the downward trend of his body changed rapidly.
The irresistible gravity was offset by a gentle yet powerful force, and his falling body soon became suspended, only a few meters away from the ground.
However, at this time, Benjamin's condition was so bad that he was on the verge of coma.
Even if it was the simplest levitation spell, he was powerless to break free.
I could only let that force lift me up and slowly descend.
In a trance, Benjamin used up his last bit of strength and struggled to open his eyes, trying to see clearly who saved him.
Through the blurred blood-red vision, he vaguely saw a calm and majestic face.
He was an old man wearing a simple gray robe, with a temperament as steady as a rock. His eyes seemed to contain the sea of stars.
It was Master Alvin, one of the three level five wizards stationed in the camp!
"I have...urgent...information..."
Benjamin forced himself to squeeze out these words from his throat.
He tried to raise his voice, but found that his voice was already so small that it was almost like mumbling to himself, so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Fortunately, the perception ability of a fifth-level wizard is sharp enough. Master Alvin narrowed his eyes slightly and easily understood what Jemin wanted to express.
He had no expression on his face. He just stretched out a hand and conjured up a bottle of green potion that exuded the breath of life out of thin air. He gently but irresistibly poured it into Benjamin's mouth and signaled him to continue with his eyes.
As soon as he swallowed the magic potion, a gentle yet powerful life energy instantly spread throughout his body, like a dry riverbed welcoming spring rain, quickly repairing his broken meridians and damaged organs.
Benjamin felt that his condition had improved a lot, at least the weak feeling of dying was temporarily suppressed.
However, after escaping the most immediate danger to his life, his willpower, which had been tense to support his escape, quickly collapsed as if his spine had been pulled out.
An irresistible feeling of fatigue and sleepiness came over him, and he felt like he might pass out at any moment.
But Jieming knew that now was not the time to faint.
He used up his last bit of strength, forcing himself to keep his consciousness from sinking. He spoke quickly and clearly to Master Alvin before him, condensing the information he knew into three sentences:
"The Yeti and the Lava Giant have teamed up!"
"Monsters possess...strategic-level time-related abilities!"
"The frontline node has been breached!"
At the moment when he performed the Light Escape Technique, Benjamin's perception of time fell into a strange state of chaos.
Everything in the outside world became extremely slow in his eyes, like a frozen picture.
It was precisely because of this unique perspective that he could clearly see everything that had happened in that front-line node area before.
The peculiar phenomenon of even the dust standing still in the air showed that there was no doubt that the advancing army of lava giants was surrounded by some kind of terrifying "time-suspension field".
In fact, there are many abilities that can achieve similar situations, such as large-scale mind control, or field witchcraft that changes the rules of physics.
But the reason why Benjamin could guess so confidently that it was a time-stopping effect was mainly due to the special circumstances of this plane.
As mentioned before, the four basic elements of the wizarding world, in addition to representing their own attribute powers, also represent four different high-level concepts.
The element of fire represents "energy".
The water element represents "time".
The Flame Frost Plane is a special world that is projected and illuminated by the fire and water elements all year round.
The life born here will inevitably be branded with the characteristics of these two high-level concepts.
Lava Giants, as the darlings of the fire element, the biggest difference between them and elemental creatures in other planes is that the energy reserves contained in their bodies are extremely exaggerated!
Every adult lava giant is like a mobile source of energy, and they release their energy in an almost wasteful manner when fighting.
It can be said that this is also the fundamental reason why the lava giant's strength is significantly stronger than the same type of elemental creatures in other planes.
Moreover, lava giants are born with the ability to move earth veins and mobilize energy on a large scale.
The so-called "strategic weapons" they had previously demonstrated in battle were, in essence, actually releasing a massive amount of energy to the target area in an instant, causing the temperature to rise sharply, achieving the effect of burning the city and destroying the earth.
Lava giants all have talents that are deeply tied to the concept of "energy". Then, the snow monsters that have always been at odds with lava giants, as creations of the water element, naturally also have their own exclusive talents.
There is no doubt that the talents of the Yetis are related to "time"!
However, under normal circumstances, the Yeti's core and physique can only afford the time talent to accelerate themselves.
The external manifestation is that the snow monsters are extremely fast and have excellent reactions, which often makes it difficult to guard against them.
Although this characteristic is powerful, it is not particularly eye-catching. Many wizards attribute it to the Yeti's unique talent without delving into its essence.
But this time, the situation is completely different!
This "time" talent has evolved to the terrifying level of being able to pause the surrounding time.
What's even more bizarre is that the one who activated this ability was not the Yeti, but the Lava Giant!
Therefore, Benjamin could come to the conclusion of the two pieces of information mentioned above with such certainty!
It is obvious that the lava giant provides massive and almost endless "energy" as fuel and amplifier.
The Yeti's innate talent for "time" has been amplified and amplified to the limit!
The two originally opposing forces were perfectly combined through some unknown means, creating such a terrifying strategic-level capability.
When Benjamin had used up his last bit of strength to say these three crucial pieces of information, he could no longer hold on, his eyes went dark, and he completely fainted.
Master Alvin, who was standing before him, had a barely perceptible solemnity in his eyes.
He nodded calmly, as if he was mentally prepared for the arrival of this information.
He casually handed the unconscious Benjamin to Viola who had arrived at some point.
Viola took Jermyn and looked at his miserable appearance, half dead and covered in blood. A strange and excited light flashed in her silver-gray eyes.
The wizards who came over after hearing the news were all in an uproar after hearing Benjamin's three pieces of information!
"What? Time pause?! Are you kidding me?"
"Damn it! The frontline node was breached so quickly!"
"The lava giant and the snow monster have joined forces... That's not surprising."
After the initial shock and panic, the wizards' strong psychological qualities allowed them to calm down quickly.
Deep down, most people were feeling grateful.
Fortunately, this wizard risked his life to bring back this information!
For wizards, time-related abilities are indeed mysterious and difficult to handle in unknown situations, and they are often wiped out in one encounter.
But once we know its existence and principles, it is easy to protect ourselves from it.
"Everyone on alert!"
Master Alvin's voice was not loud, but it reached every wizard's ears clearly, instantly suppressing all the noise.
His eyes swept across the entire audience with unquestionable majesty:
"Activate the 'Temporal Stabilization Anchor'! All defense nodes, switch to anti-time warp mode immediately!"
"Order the Potions Department to immediately mass-produce 'Time Freezing Potion'!"
"Notify all combat teams to replace their Time Delay Rune equipment!"
Master Alvin gave out orders one after another in an orderly manner.
Under the command of this fifth-level wizard, the entire wizard camp, like an activated precision war machine, began to operate at high speed to deal with the upcoming enemy.
