Chapter 260: War Begins
Faced with this sudden change, the other recruited wizards' eyes first flashed with shock and panic.
But they are all official wizards after all, and they do not lack the necessary intelligence and will.
They quickly suppressed their instinctive emotions and forced themselves to calm down. Their cold rationality instantly took over and they quickly analyzed and understood the current situation.
The eyes of several people became sharp in an instant, and they cautiously scanned the actions of other temporary companions on the field with the corner of their eyes, guarding against possible second betrayal.
At the same time, they tacitly focused most of their vigilance and surging murderous intent on Levin Mills and Jack and his group, who were looking down from above in mid-air with playful smiles like a cat and mouse.
On the court, only Jay seemed unusually calm, as if everything before him had already been expected by him.
The seed of this feeling that something was wrong had been planted in his heart as early as when Jack took the initiative to come up and invite him to talk in the camp square.
If it is understandable to say hello to each other after meeting again after a long time, then the other party's behavior of taking the initiative to talk in the square is a bit too enthusiastic.
He didn't think much about it at first, but after learning the details of the so-called "rescue mission", a question came to his mind:
If you simply need manpower to assist in the search and expand the scope of investigation, from the most basic "cost-effectiveness" consideration, hiring a small number of second-level wizards is the most appropriate.
However, neither Jack, nor Levin Mills, nor anyone else in their team concealed their dissatisfaction with the "number" of wizards they recruited - it seemed that from the very beginning they needed not just searchers, but... a sufficient number of "prey".
The second thing that alarmed Benjamin was the lack of a contract.
There are certainly tacit unspoken rules when wizards temporarily team up, but for a collaborative mission like this that would last at least more than a month and was somewhat dangerous, why didn't they take the initiative to propose signing a binding soul contract?
This in itself is highly unusual.
Looking at Benjamin's unusually calm expression, which even showed a hint of understanding, Jack and Levin Mills both had a subtle flash of surprise in their eyes.
Benjamin actually still had many questions in his mind, but now was obviously not the time to ask them.
He turned his head suddenly, and his eyes met in mid-air with the fourth-level wizard who had obviously been attacked not far away.
The moment their eyes met, they had already completed a silent communication:
"cooperate?"
"cooperate!"
Without any nonsense, the fourth-level wizard had obviously suffered a similar loss before and his reaction was astonishingly fast.
He growled and without hesitation separated a spiritual contract that shone with brilliant golden light from the origin of his own soul!
The contract seemed to have life and instantly flew in front of Jemin and the other ten recruited wizards.
The content of the contract is simple and direct - a temporary alliance, united against external threats, and no attacks on each other!
Without any hesitation, Jemin and the other survivors quickly left their spiritual mark on it.
The contract was formed, and an invisible binding force temporarily consolidated the loose spiritual will of everyone.
Although it is far from trust, at least we don’t have to worry about the hidden arrows from behind all the time, and can focus on dealing with the current deadlock.
At this moment...
Click...Boom!
The huge energy shield that Benjamin had previously erected finally let out a wail of being overwhelmed under the violent joint bombardment of Jack and others, and completely shattered into light spots all over the sky!
Looking at the fourth-level protective magic weapon in his hand that was quickly losing its luster, Jieming put it back into his body space with an expressionless face.
Although the speed at which this level 4 shield was destroyed was a little beyond their expectations, they had already adjusted their status and had completed the mission.
There is no room for maneuver for either side. The seeds of hatred have already been planted, and only blood can wash them away!
"Levon Mills! Your opponent is me!"
The unknown fourth-level wizard's hair and beard stood on end, he roared like thunder, and the energy around him surged like a wave. He took the initiative to find the strongest third-level wizard on the opposite side, Levin Mills, and entangled him tightly.
The two of them tacitly left the area below, and a huge sound of energy collision instantly exploded in the sky.
But the remaining situation is still hopeless for Benjamin's side!
Except for Benjamin, all the surviving recruits were only first-level wizards.
Including Jack, there are twelve powerful and well-coordinated second-level wizards on the opposite side!
To make matters worse...
The wizard who had been silent and haggard (originally a fat wizard) smiled sinisterly, and clenched his skinny hands like chicken claws into the air!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
In an instant, all the "fireflies" released by the recruited wizards for reconnaissance and surveillance, no matter how far away they were, collectively exploded at the same time without any warning!
These fireflies are connected to the host's spirit. This sudden backlash of the soul is like countless red-hot iron needles piercing into the owner's brain!
"ah!!"
Suddenly, there was a chorus of shrill screams.
More than seven first-level wizards had no time to make any effective defense. They immediately started bleeding from all seven orifices, their eyes dimmed instantly, and they fell straight from the air like puppets with their strings cut, losing their combat effectiveness for a moment!
In the blink of an eye, only four wizards, including Benjamin, were left standing!
But at this moment, the remaining three wizards all looked pale. The damage to their souls gave them splitting headaches and their strength was greatly reduced.
Although Benjamin had been prepared and did not reveal his uniqueness in front of outsiders, the viciousness and fierceness of this soul attack still exceeded his expectations.
Fortunately, the body-building method not only gave him a strong body, but also gave him strong resistance to mental shock.
Moreover, over the past few days, thanks to the adaptive evolution of his body-building method, he has developed a great resistance to this type of mental shock.
Benjamin's brain suddenly felt dizzy, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, but his strong physical fitness allowed him to endure the severe pain. He shook his head and regained consciousness in an instant.
In just a moment of trance, the enemy's attack is approaching.
Without any hesitation, Benjamin stretched out his hand.
"roar!!!"
Five black giants, more than ten meters tall and with skin as white as cast black iron, roared and rushed out from the space inside his body!
Their huge bodies, full of savagery and power, instantly blocked most of the attack routes!
Under Jemin's precise command, the five black giants stood fearlessly at the forefront, using their broad backs and strong bodies to barely protect everyone.
At the same time, the other three first-level wizards, who were enduring the severe pain in their souls, roared and began to fight desperately.
They burned their mental strength at all costs, cast their strongest magic, and cooperated with the black giant to barely restrain the opponent's seven ordinary second-level wizards.
As for Benjamin himself, his eyes were fixed coldly on the remaining five people on the opposite side - that was also the strongest combination among the enemies: Jack, the skinny wizard, and three other second-level wizards with obviously more ferocious auras!
"Kill!" Jack shouted loudly, and the five of them attacked at the same time. The energy light instantly submerged Jemin.
However……
Benjamin's counterattack was so violent that it exceeded all of their imaginations!
The ten "Talisman Magical Weapons" suspended on his wrists immediately burst out with dazzling light, and high-frequency energy rays were like the web of death, densely splashing towards the five people.
This is not over yet. With a wave of his hand, several level 4 attack magic weapons were activated without hesitation!
For a moment, the frost ring froze the space, the fission ray pierced the void, and the twisting halo deflected the attack...
All kinds of strange and powerful fourth-level witchcraft effects exploded instantly, catching Jack and his four companions off guard and making them look extremely miserable. They were suppressed in place by the terrifying firepower unleashed by Jemin alone.
"Fourth-level magical weapon?! How could he have so many?!" a second-level wizard screamed in horror.
Even before the attack hit him, the shield he held up was already fluctuating violently in the torrent of energy.
After all, Jack and the others were veterans of the expedition. After being startled, they immediately reacted and roared as they took out their most powerful fourth-level defensive or offensive magic weapons to fight back.
Rumble...
The powerful forces of several fourth-level magical weapons collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a roar loud enough to rip the eardrums and a destructive energy tide!
The brief advantage that Benjamin gained through numbers was forcibly offset within a few seconds by the opponent using means of the same level.
But this has bought enough time for Benjamin.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his mind moved again.
In an instant, thousands of spare "talisman magic weapons" whizzed out from the space inside his body, quickly combining and surrounding his original ten talisman magic weapons.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the fourth-level witchcraft bombardment, a "big light image" of incomparable size, with a complex and precise structure, like the halo behind the Buddha's head, formed behind him.
Buzz...
The moment the "Great Light Phase" was activated, a terrifying energy wave that made one's soul tremble swept across the entire venue.
The halo seemed to have turned into a black hole that swallowed everything, or like the core of the sun that was about to erupt!
The next moment, an incredibly thick and fiery torrent composed purely of destructive energy gushed out from the "great light"!
Wherever this beam of light passed, the space seemed to be distorted and dissolved, and the layers of shields hastily constructed by the enemy wizards were easily torn and evaporated like paper!
Benjamin actually single-handedly brought most of the enemies on the battlefield, including five second-level wizards, into his attack range!
The destructive stream of light seemed to have life, chasing Jack's team and shooting wildly, forcing them to dodge desperately and have no time to care about anything else!
The pressure on the three first-level wizards and the black giant, who were in danger and on the verge of collapse under the siege of seven second-level wizards, suddenly eased.
They looked up in horror, looking at the back of the man who had turned the tide of battle single-handedly and suppressed half of the powerful enemies with his brutal firepower, their eyes filled with incredible shock!
With the help of Jemin and the Black Giant, several wizards who had previously lost their combat effectiveness were able to cheer up, suppress their injuries and join the battle.
However, their souls had already been severely damaged by the attack, and the combat effectiveness of these people was greatly reduced. Their joining only slowed down the speed of their death.
In just a few moments of fighting, the recruited wizards suffered heavy casualties, with only the last five surviving.
Two of the black giants summoned by Jemin were also killed in the battle.
But the remaining three black giants, relying on their immortal tenacity and their own innate characteristics, managed to kill two weaker second-level wizards.
The battlefield was dragged into a brutal stalemate because of Benjamin's unreasonable outburst.
