Chapter 376 Mutual Understanding
The defeated level 5 wizard also focused his attention on the light screen, carefully observing Jemin's movement in the phase space.
Upon seeing this, he immediately understood why he couldn't sense Jemin's approach and why the other wizards were so surprised.
As the energy outline representing Jemin moved through the phase gaps within the light screen, a thin, almost imperceptible layer of silver-gray radiance covered his body—the effect of the [Spatial Stabilization] spell!
"He... he's actually multitasking, maintaining two spatial magic spells simultaneously?!" The level five wizard gasped, instantly realizing, "He used a concealment-type spatial magic spell to hide himself, while simultaneously using a space-stabilizing spell to 'pin the' the space within a very small area around him, thus perfectly masking the spatial fluctuations caused by his movement! That's why I couldn't sense anything unusual!"
wrong!
He suddenly remembered the decoy-like spatial fluctuations he had sensed in another direction before the attack!
"It's not multitasking...it's triplet!" An even more horrifying thought surfaced: "He was also simultaneously creating a false spatial fluctuation to mislead me?!"
What terrifying mental control and computational power would that require?!
Simultaneously, it allows for the precise manipulation of two or even three different effects, all involving complex spatial rules, and is a high-level form of sorcery that can deliver tactical deception and a fatal blow in the blink of an eye...
"This computing power?! Is this guy really a level three wizard?!"
The level-five wizard watched the figure in the light screen moving with ease in the spatial crevices, quietly searching for its next prey, and was filled with endless shock and bewilderment.
...
...
While everyone was discussing, Jemin resorted to his old tricks again, using a spatial slash to kill another wizard.
Unfortunately, this wizard was not a level five wizard.
Jemin was able to do this because he relied on his innate magic weapon—the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror!
After nearly a thousand years of careful nurturing and the subtle influence of worldly affairs, the spirituality nurtured within the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror has grown stronger day by day, and its connection with Jieming's soul has become increasingly close.
Today, it can serve as an independent "external computing unit" to alleviate the enormous computing burden on Jemin.
When Jemin simultaneously casts [Phase Shift] and [Spatial Stabilization] while preparing [Spatial Slash] or creating spatial fluctuation decoys, the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror can not only handle most of the real-time calculations for maintaining [Spatial Stabilization], but also take over some of the dynamic calibration tasks for [Phase Shift].
This allows Jemin to focus his main attention on tactical choices, timing, and the decisive blow, thus achieving the miracle of multitasking!
Other wizards, such as Rex, also have similar auxiliary methods.
The intelligent chip "Weaver" implanted in his body possesses powerful parallel computing capabilities, which can assist him in constructing complex sorcery models and even provide optimization solutions in battle.
However, for spatial magic that empowers itself and continues to operate, this "chip-assisted" mode faces an insurmountable obstacle—information transmission delay.
The data calculated by the "weaver" needs to be "transmitted" to Rex's main consciousness via a neural interface or soul link.
After receiving this data, Rex needs a very brief process of "understanding" and "confirmation" before he can translate it into precise control over witchcraft.
Even if this "transmission-understanding" process is fast, it is still too slow for continuous spatial magic that needs to constantly respond to its own movement, external energy disturbances, and subtle changes in spatial structure!
This slight delay is enough to cause phase coordinate drift, ripples in the stable force field, thereby revealing one's whereabouts, or even triggering a spatial backlash!
The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, with its core and most fundamental ability as a "natal magic treasure"—mind connection—perfectly solves this problem.
The so-called connection of minds is not a simple spiritual connection, but a deeper level of fusion and sharing between the spirituality of the magical artifact and the soul of the host.
The massive computational data required to maintain the spatial magic was shared and processed in parallel directly between Jemin's soul and the spirit of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror from the very beginning, without any "transmission" step.
The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror is like a natural extension of Jemin's soul, and its calculations are part of Jemin's "instinct".
This seemingly insignificant "zero latency" advantage has become a decisive key in the application of high-end spatial magic!
It was precisely because of this that Jemin was able to accomplish what seemed almost impossible to others, transforming himself into an invisible grim reaper wandering in the crevices of space.
...
...
Within the competition area, relying on this special skill, Jemin moved like a top predator across the chaotic battlefield.
He repeatedly used the same trick, using the shuttle's positioning to lure the enemy with false fluctuations, and then launching a deadly attack from the most unexpected angle with lightning speed.
Unfortunately, good fortune doesn't always favor us.
Of the wizards hunted later, only two were level five, while the rest were level four or level three.
As he sensed the elemental storms erupting in the distant sky, far more intense and prolonged than before, Jemin frowned slightly.
"Has it started yet..." he thought to himself.
Since then, the number of wizard traces that can be found in the area has decreased significantly, and in their place are several larger-scale, higher-level direct conflicts.
This means that the surviving wizards have gradually abandoned their initial strategy of hiding and waiting for an opportunity, and have begun to actively seek out opponents for head-on confrontations, trying to clear the battlefield as soon as possible and reduce variables.
His previous hunting of multiple wizards, especially his swift and decisive elimination of two level-five wizards, and the strange spatial abilities and formidable attack power he displayed, must have already aroused the high vigilance of the other survivors.
His tactical characteristics, attack patterns, and even some habits that might be revealed will be repeatedly analyzed and pondered by his opponents.
In this level of chaos, intelligence is in constant flux.
Any effective tactic will be greatly diminished once it is exposed.
The problem is that, in this situation, intelligence cannot be concealed.
Even without on-site investigation, the spatial and elemental fluctuations he caused the instant he made his move were enough to provide a wealth of information for analysis.
It is foreseeable that the enemy will be more heavily guarded and its countermeasures against space attacks will be more comprehensive.
His hunting difficulty is increasing dramatically.
“However… judging from the intensity of the energy fluctuations erupting from these places, the remaining level-five wizards should also be unable to hold back and have begun to personally enter the arena to clear the field.” Jemin sensed the powerful auras that were like the core of a storm and quickly assessed in his mind, “The number of level-five wizards remaining on the field… should be less than five.”
This number, while still putting immense pressure on them, does not mean they are without the ability to fight back.
"If we handle it properly, we might have a chance to eat them all before the Black Giant Priests run out!" Various thoughts flashed through Jemin's mind.
Having determined the next tactic, Jemin's eyes narrowed as he locked onto an area where the energy fluctuations of a level-five wizard had just subsided but still lingered.
There, a battle has just ended, and the victors may not have had time to catch their breath or make any preparations.
His figure subtly shifted in the phase space, and like a shark diving into the deep sea, Jemin sped toward his new target.
