“Roar!!”
After the brief shock of Jie Ming’s entrance, the first third-level magma giant let out a deafening roar, its massive body charging toward the second-level wizard with terrifying heat waves.
The second, heavily bombarded third-level magma giant roared again, locking onto Jie Ming.
The cavern battle instantly turned white-hot!
Facing the towering third-level magma giant, Jie Ming didn’t retreat but advanced.
Each crystal rune in his “Grand Radiance Form” erupted with dazzling light, shining like stars.
Thousands of light bullets formed a torrent, pouring down on the second third-level magma giant!
Under the precise algorithms of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, they formed a three-dimensional crossfire, aiming to maximize damage.
A pre-cast fourth-level shield blocked all ranged attacks from the third-level magma giant, allowing Jie Ming to attack freely.
While holding off the giant, the rune artifact on his left wrist never stopped.High-frequency sound waves poured endlessly from it.
“Clear the field first!” Jie Ming shouted coldly!
Handing temporary control of the “Grand Radiance Form” to the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, he unleashed an attack on the controlled lower-level magma giants.
The downgraded “Magma Annihilation” still dealt devastating damage to second-level magma giants.
Combined with the slowing effect of the high-frequency sound waves, the surrounding second-level giants fell like wheat under a scythe!
Seeing Jie Ming single-handedly hold off a third-level magma giant while clearing second-level elites, creating space for them, the two wizards’ despair and exhaustion gave way to boiling blood.
Suddenly, they felt they might actually survive!
The magma giants’ roars, the explosions of spells, and the dazzling glow of Jie Ming’s “Grand Radiance Form” turned the cavern into a hellish battlefield.
The scorching magma mingled with the restless elemental energy of runes, explosions echoing endlessly.
The third-level magma giants’ roars shook the stone walls, but Jie Ming’s radiant “Grand Radiance Form” outshone their presence.
The third-level magma giant he’d blasted away climbed slowly from the magma pool, its fully molten body rapidly healing, eyes burning with bloodthirsty rage.
No longer underestimating this “insect,” its massive body, like a moving volcano, charged at Jie Ming with terrifying heat.
This was a grossly uneven yet brutally intense war of attrition.
The battle took on a bizarre asymmetry.
The small, two-levels-lower Jie Ming stood like a rock, a fixed turret.
His “Grand Radiance Form” unleashed a relentless barrage, weaving a net of death with astonishing firing speed to block the giant’s approach.
The massive magma giant, however, was forced into high-speed maneuvers.
Displaying agility belying its size, it dodged through bullet gaps, spewing magma projectiles and summoning earth spikes, bombarding Jie Ming’s barrage to deplete it and find a close-range opening.
Jie Ming suppressed the giant with extreme firepower, preventing it from closing in.
Even when the giant was occasionally overwhelmed, its molten surface blasted apart or sent crashing into walls, it quickly rose.
Magma responded to its call, surging from cracks to let it absorb earth vein energy, healing damage instantly.
Each repair made its flames burn brighter, returning with greater pressure!
“Roar!!!”
A furious roar shook the cavern!
The magma giant’s eyes flashed with resolve, its flames surging as it stopped dodging, charging head-on through the destructive energy torrent!
Boom!!!
In the critical moment, Jie Ming, ignoring the cost, joined the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror in channeling mental energy.
The “Grand Radiance Form” erupted with unprecedented light, thousands of runes activating in unison, a massive energy torrent slamming into the giant!
The giant’s upper body disintegrated in the light, its charge halted, letting out a pained roar.
But it didn’t stop!
A giant claw of the hardest magma tore through the torrent’s edge, carrying space-ripping force and world-melting heat, slashing down at Jie Ming!
“Hmph!”
Facing such a mighty blow, Jie Ming didn’t budge.
At the moment the claw descended—
Buzz…
An invisible fourth-level barrier materialized.
Boom!!!
A muffled explosion rang out!
The magma claw slammed into the pale golden barrier, the violent shockwave stirring the magma, whipping Jie Ming’s hair back.
But the barrier held firm.
Behind it, Jie Ming’s cold eyes met the giant’s shocked and enraged gaze through the light.
Silent yet deadly.
The standoff lasted only an instant.
The giant’s fury unquelled, its claw pressed harder—not to break the unbreakable barrier but to borrow its force!
Its mountain-like body executed an impossibly agile backward leap, pulling itself from the energy torrent and barrier’s grip!
This sudden retreat made Jie Ming’s barrage miss, exploding into a boiling magma pit where the giant had stood.
The giant landed, shaking the ground, but didn’t pause, raising its right arm—not to attack Jie Ming but to smash the nearby rock wall!
Boom!
The solid wall shattered like brittle biscuits under the force.
Countless millstone-sized jagged rocks, carried by violent force, rained down on Jie Ming’s area like cannonballs!
This was no longer precise ranged attacks but an environmental, area-of-effect physical assault!
Simultaneously, the giant’s left arm swung, three burning magma pillars erupting like vipers from the molten ground beneath Jie Ming, sealing his lower defenses.
Abandoning a direct charge, the giant used the environment to create chaos, seeking a breakthrough in the barrage’s gaps!
Jie Ming’s pupils narrowed, instantly grasping its intent—it wanted to bypass him and target the second-level wizard!
“Can’t let it go!”
Facing the dual assault, he instantly commanded the “Grand Radiance Form” to react.
The dense barrage split, most still locking onto the giant to prevent its advance.
A smaller portion, under the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror’s control, precisely intercepted the most threatening rocks.
Energy bullets collided with stones, exploding into countless fragments and sparks, like a rain of destruction.
Simultaneously, without moving, Jie Ming’s energy shield flared, withstanding the three searing magma pillars erupting beneath!
The magma’s impact sizzled against the shield, which flickered, its light dimming faintly.
Seeing this, Jie Ming felt his teeth ache.
Blood angels couldn’t even shake the fourth-level shield, yet the magma giant could drain its energy.
Even with the local earth vein’s power boosting it, how could the gap between third-level beings be so vast?!
The impact sank the ground beneath Jie Ming, but he stood like a divine pillar, maintaining his fire suppression on the giant.
Seeing its disruption fail, the giant roared, charging again as the dust settled!
This time, it chose an arcing charge, its massive body hugging the cavern’s edge, using the winding path and rock cover to minimize exposure to the barrage.
Jie Ming’s eyes were cold as iron.
The moment the giant shifted, he reacted with the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror and “Accelerate” bracelet.
The rune artifacts of the “Grand Radiance Form” flared with blinding light, the evenly spread fan-shaped barrage morphing instantly!
The torrent vanished, replaced by three highly condensed energy barrages, forming spear-like beams from afar!
They didn’t aim at the giant’s current position but at three critical nodes in its arcing path—unavoidable choke points its massive body had to pass!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The beams tore through the air with piercing shrieks!
For the first time, a flicker of shock crossed the giant’s crimson eyes, quickly turning to greater rage.
Its massive inertia prevented an instant direction change at high speed.
The first beam nailed its raised left knee, the explosion shattering the molten knee.
Magma splattered, and the giant’s charge faltered!
The second beam grazed its raised right arm, carving a deep gash!
The third, most lethal beam shot toward the giant’s exposed, vulnerable waist core as it stumbled!
“Roar!!!”
The giant roared in pain and fury. At the critical moment, its massive head jerked upward.
Its molten body displayed exaggerated plasticity, its torso splitting open with a massive gap as the beam passed through!
Boom!!!
An explosion brighter than any before erupted behind the giant!
Burning rocks scattered like meteors, the giant’s massive body slammed forward by the force, crashing into the magma lake, sending up towering crimson waves!
The lake churned violently, the giant’s form temporarily swallowed by the scarlet magma.
“Damn! Monster!”
