Chapter 613 - 521: Trap and Completion
Chapter 613: Chapter 521: Trap and Completion
Back to a short time ago.
Just as the lava and rocks beneath his feet were seized by an invisible force, condensing into a sky-covering giant fist, closing in from all directions, the alarm in the Black Robed Wizard’s mind had already exploded.
This is a trap!
But what he spoke of was not the current trap, but a deeper one.
The key lies in this: the Wizard Civilization chose battlegrounds for this super-large Plane War that had their resources long depleted, leaving only inert grey rock layers as "wasteland."
On this land, forget about metal deposits, even decent organic matter is nearly extinct.
The opposing side’s ability to manipulate these non-metal lava and rocks with a magnetic field is far from simple "magnetic manipulation!"
This implies that the one known as the "Martial God," a Fifth Level Witch, has reached a transformation threshold in her understanding and application of magnetic fields.
She accomplished what normally only Sixth Level magnetic field specialized Wizards can achieve—interfering directly with the structure and movement of non-metal substances with pure magnetic fields!
This isn’t merely an expansion of manipulation range.
The more terrifying implication behind it is that if a magnetic field can so finely affect non-metal substances, then theoretically, it can also act directly on the interior of living organisms, disrupting neural currents, affecting biological magnetic fields, and even tearing cell structures from a microscopic level!
"Has the interference... already begun?"
With lightning-fast thoughts, the Black Robed Wizard utilizes the Law of Fabrication to grant him extreme sensitivity to "real-world variables," immediately feeding back information.
He distinctly "senses" a subtle yet true disruption and delay in his body’s biological magnetic field and the spiritual force field used for external perception.
Although, due to the absolute disparity in strength between the two sides, this interference is still very weak, far from directly affecting his actions or defense, yet it’s like a thin mist causing part of his perception to have slight "double vision" and "misalignment."
"Not only that... she also reversed it, amplifying and distorting certain characteristic wavelengths of her own magnetic field, forming a fake signal similar to ’enhanced attraction’... the combination of these successfully, for a moment, subconsciously locked my main focus more on her and the material torrent she’s controlling!"
In a flash, the Black Robed Wizard comprehensively understands the entirety of the opponent’s tactics.
On the surface, the imposing, endless metal giants, drill impacts, and even the seemingly trapping force field and giant lava fists... are all merely feints and disguises!
The real killing move is the silent magnetic field interference targeting his perception system deployed across the battlefield!
Such elaborate efforts to disrupt his attention have a clear purpose...
It’s naturally to make him temporarily "ignore" or "underestimate" another person!
The young Wizard, Jeming, who has been a thorn from the start and constantly evolving in the battle!
"A diversion tactic... she’s buying time!" The Black Robed Wizard’s dark red eyes sparkled with fierce intensity, hesitating no more.
In the last moment before being enveloped by the falling lava giant fist, his figure disappeared from the most strongly interfered area as if wiped away.
The next instant, he appeared high in the sky, spreading out his spiritual power, sending out his message: "Well done, found you!"
Afterward, leveraging the Law of Fabrication, he successfully captures the subtle spiritual fluctuation on the battlefield that occurred due to his words.
However, he didn’t appear beside Augusta’s hiding place in the metallic drill, instead using her location as a focal point, following the Law of Fabrication’s trace of "attention shift origin," and the reverse analysis of the cleverly distorted amplified "attraction" signal, instantly locking onto a seemingly calm, yet layered with weak magnetic field deliberately "smudged" void area in the distance.
His gaze penetrated the magnetic field disguise, seeing the target Augusta was frantically trying to shield...
Jeming!
At this moment, Jeming’s state is entirely different from before.
He floats quietly in low air thousands of meters away, his eyes closed, with no longer any intense energy fluctuations leaking, instead presenting a bizarre "restraint."
His whole body seems to transform into a "humanoid" formed by pure light.
But this light is highly unstable, intensely vibrating, flickering, collapsing and expanding, like a supernova core ready to explode at any time!
With each flicker of light, the surrounding space experiences subtle folds and tremors, even faintly fragmented space cracks appear on his surface.
The Black Robed Wizard’s gaze just landed on Jeming, and a sense of crisis capable of threatening him suddenly surged!
"Don’t even think about completing it!"
With a boiling intent to kill, he was about to indiscriminately mobilize the remainder limit, directly "define" results like "Jeming’s energy structure collapse" or "complete annihilation of his surrounding space!"
However...
Buzz!!!!!
A low hum as if from the depths of the ancient starry sky suddenly resonated through the earth!
Accompanied by this hum is a terrifying magnetic field seemingly capable of distorting and collapsing the entire sky!
Augusta knew things were bad the moment she felt the subtle spiritual fluctuation caused by those words.
Realizing her core tactical plan had been seen through, the instant the Black Robed Wizard re-targeted Jeming, she unhesitatingly activated the ultimate attack reserved for this distraction battle.
High above, the clouds were brutally torn apart, parted by an invisible force!
A gigantic ring with a diameter of thousands of meters, with incredibly smooth and neat edges, slowly fully emerged from the gray clouds!
The entire ring presents a dazzling, pure blue color that seems to contain endless energy.
This blue is not an actual color, but the luminous phenomenon induced in the material world by an extremely powerful magnetic field!
It’s a magnetic field strong enough to bend visible light, ionizing the air to produce a magnificent halo!
Through the thick blue magnetic light, the interior of the ring, which is not hollow, can be vaguely seen.
The place was filled with metal fluid heated to a complete plasma state!
These scorching plasmas were frantically accelerated inside the immensely complex multiple magnetic field tracks of the ring, layer by layer and circle by circle!
Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate again!
With each cycle, the speed of these plasma metals skyrocketed, and the intensity of the magnetic confinement force field inside the ring also rose exponentially!
The structure of the entire magnetic ring was strengthened to an incredible degree to restrain the energy and speed, which were violent to the extreme, and its emitted blue glow becoming even more intense, as if a condensed stellar surface was forged into a ring!
This is Augusta’s secret card, combining her ultimate understanding of magnetic fields, a lore: [Heavenly Sky Magnetic Track·Annihilation Ring]!
Theoretically, as long as there is enough acceleration time and energy, the speed of the hundreds of tons of high-temperature plasma metal inside this magnetic ring could be infinitely elevated, approaching sub-light speed!
By then, what would erupt would no longer be a metal jet but a destructive torrent capable of evaporating the nucleus of a star!
At this moment, time was short, and Augusta only had time to accelerate it to a mere thousand times the speed of sound.
But it’s enough!
"Annihilate... Fire!"
Augusta’s mental shout echoed across the battlefield!
With her will, the gigantic magnetic ring suspended in the sky, emitting a blue light that eclipsed the world, trembled suddenly!
From the inner side of the ring, a beam condensed to the extreme, only as thick as an arm, but so intensely bright that it seemed capable of burning through space itself, silently and swiftly shot out!
The beam was too fast!
Its speed surpassed the dynamic vision capture limit of most wizards!
Wherever the beam passed, its extreme kinetic energy and high temperature completely evaporated and annihilated the air, dust, and even the finest space structures in its path.
Leaving behind a straight, lingering dark void trace!
It was as if this light of judgment had carved a scar into the sky!
The face beneath the hood of the Black Robed Wizard turned extremely grave, even showing rare fury.
The power, speed, and the pure intent for physical annihilation contained in this strike were enough to genuinely threaten the life of a Sixth Level Wizard!
More importantly... it was unavoidable!
Because just now, he was once again interfered with by Augusta’s magnetic field.
The opponent guided his thoughts, focusing most of his attention on Jeming.
And being overly entranced by Jeming at this moment, there was no time left to dodge.
"Damn it!"
He cursed silently, forced to abandon the immediate attack on Jeming and redirect most of his already scarce "quota" to deal with the descending annihilation!
Boom!!!
The blue-white beam hit squarely where the Black Robed Wizard stood!
There was no ear-splitting explosion, as the speed of energy release far outstripped the spread of sound.
Only an extreme bright light exploded, so dazzling that even Augusta watching from afar had to squint, accompanied by a destructive shockwave scraping tens of meters of rock layer off the ground below!
A massive crater, over a kilometer in diameter, where everything inside was instantly vaporized, appeared at the point of the beam’s impact.
The rocks at the edge of the crater crystallized into a glass-like state, with hot air waves distorting the rising air.
When the intense light and dust somewhat subsided,
the silhouette of the Black Robed Wizard still hovered in its original position, appearing completely unscathed.
But the Black Robed Wizard’s face was so grim, it seemed as if water could drip from it.
And almost at the very moment when the annihilation beam ended, both Augusta and the Black Robed Wizard’s gazes uncontrollably turned towards the distant Jeming!
The annihilation ring’s attack, perhaps, bought her just a fleeting moment.
But that moment, was enough!
From a distance, the once violently fluctuating and extremely unstable blazing light around Jeming had somehow entirely calmed and stabilized.
The color of the light had also settled into a deep and restrained dark golden hue, seemingly containing endless destruction and vitality.
Moreover, this dark golden light was no longer just the energy’s external halo, but an entity, forged as if the most top-tier master craftsman had used light as the material, hammering it to perfection!
From afar, Jeming appeared as if transformed into a flawless humanoid sculpture cast from pure dark golden unknown metal!
A deadly threat, causing the muscles at the corners of the Black Robed Wizard’s eyes to twitch uncontrollably, coiled around his soul like a cold, venomous snake!
His instincts, honed through countless life-and-death experiences, were frantically screaming...
Danger!
Extreme danger!
This state of Jeming... could kill him!
For the first time since the battle began, the Black Robed Wizard truly and uncontrollably felt the shadow of death.
