Chapter 522 Trap and Completion
Let's go back to a short time ago.
Just as the lava and rocks beneath his feet were seized by an invisible force and condensed into a gigantic fist that blotted out the sky, closing in fiercely from all directions, the alarm bells in the black-robed wizard's heart rang.
This is a trap!
But he wasn't referring to the current trap, but rather a deeper one.
The key lies in the fact that the wizard civilization chose "wasteland" as the battlefield for this massive interdimensional war, where resources had long been exhausted and only inert gray-white rock layers remained.
In this land, not to mention metal deposits, even decent organic matter is almost extinct.
The fact that the other party can use magnetic fields to manipulate these non-metallic lava and rocks is by no means a simple "magnetic manipulation"!
This means that the fifth-level witch, known as the "Goddess of War," has reached a threshold of qualitative change in her understanding and application of magnetic fields.
She accomplished what is usually only possible for a level six magnetic field specialist wizard—to directly interfere with and manipulate the structure and movement of non-metallic matter using pure magnetic fields!
This is not just about expanding the scope of manipulation.
The more terrifying implication is that if a magnetic field can affect non-metallic substances with such precision, then theoretically, it can also directly act on the interior of living organisms, interfering with nerve currents, affecting biomagnetic fields, and even tearing cell structures at the microscopic level!
"Interference—did it already begin?"
The black-robed wizard's mind raced, and the extreme sensitivity to "real-world variables" granted to him by the [Fiction] Law immediately fed back information.
He clearly "perceived" that his biomagnetic field and the mental field used to perceive external signals were experiencing extremely subtle but real disturbances and delays.
Although the interference was very weak due to the absolute difference in strength between the two sides, and far from being able to directly affect his movements or defense, it was like a thin mist, causing some of his senses to experience slight "double vision" and "dislocation".
"Not only that—she also amplified and distorted certain characteristic wavelengths of her own magnetic field, creating a false signal that seemed to enhance attraction—the combination of these two successfully, in that instant, subconsciously drew my attention more to her and the torrent of matter she controlled!"
In a flash, the black-robed wizard completely understood the opponent's tactics.
The imposing, endless array of metal giants, the drill bombardment, and even the seemingly trap-like suppressive force field and lava fist—all of these are merely feints and cover-ups!
The real killer move was the silent, pervasive magnetic field interference and manipulation targeting his sensory system across the battlefield!
The fact that the other party went to such lengths to distract him clearly reveals their purpose.
Naturally, this was to make him temporarily "ignore" or "underestimate" another person!
That little wizard, Jemin, who had been a headache for him from the very beginning and continued to evolve in battle!
"A feint—she's buying time!" A sharp glint flashed in the black-robed wizard's dark red pupils, and he no longer hesitated.
In the final instant before the massive lava fists crashed down from the sky and closed in, his figure vanished like an erased stroke of a pen, disappearing directly from the area of strongest magnetic interference.
The next instant, he appeared high in the sky, extending his mental energy to send out his message: "Well done, found you!"
After that, he used the [Fiction] Law to successfully capture the subtle mental fluctuations on the battlefield caused by his words.
However, he did not appear next to the metal drill where Augusta was hiding. Instead, taking her location as the origin, he followed the law of [fiction] to trace the "root of attention shift" and reverse the analysis of the "attraction" signal that was cleverly distorted and amplified. In an instant, he locked onto a seemingly calm void area in the distance that was actually deliberately "painted" by layers of weak magnetic fields.
His gaze pierced through the magnetic field disguise, landing on the target that Augusta was desperately protecting—
Jemin!
At this moment, Jemin's state is completely different from before.
He hovered quietly in the low air thousands of meters away, his eyes closed, and there was no longer any violent energy fluctuation leaking out from his body. Instead, he showed a strange "restraint".
His entire body seemed to transform into a "human form" composed of pure light.
But this light is extremely unstable, fluctuating violently, flickering, collapsing and expanding, like the core of a supernova that could explode at any moment!
Each flash of light caused subtle folds and tremors in the surrounding space, and even faint spatial cracks appeared and disappeared on his body.
The moment the black-robed wizard's gaze fell upon Jemin, a sense of impending danger arose within him!
"Don't even think about finishing it!"
His heart was burning with murderous intent, and he was ready to disregard everything, mobilize the remaining quota, and directly "define" the result of "Jermin's energy structure collapsing" or "the space in which it is located being completely annihilated"!
However----
Buzz!
A deep, resonant hum, seemingly emanating from the depths of the ancient starry sky, suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
Accompanying this buzzing sound was a terrifying magnetic field that seemed to twist and crush the entire sky!
The moment Augusta heard those words and felt a slight mental fluctuation, he knew something was wrong.
Realizing her core tactics had been figured out, the black-robed wizard refocused her attention on Jemin and launched her ultimate attack, which she had reserved for this diversionary tactic, without hesitation.
High in the sky, the clouds were violently torn apart and pushed aside by an invisible force!
A huge ring, thousands of meters in diameter and with perfectly smooth edges, slowly emerged from the gray clouds!
The ring was a dazzling, pure, azure blue that seemed to contain endless energy.
But this blue color is not a physical color; rather, it is a radiant phenomenon caused by an extremely powerful magnetic field in the material world!
It is a magnificent halo produced by a magnetic field strong enough to deflect visible light and excite the ionization of air!
Through the dense blue magnetic light, one can vaguely see that the inside of the ring is not hollow.
It was filled with metallic fluid heated to a fully plasma state!
These scorching plasmas are accelerated wildly, circle after circle, layer after layer, within the extremely complex multi-magnetic field orbits inside the ring!
Speed up! Speed up! Speed up again!
With each cycle, the speed of these plasma metals increases dramatically, and the strength of the magnetic confinement field inside the ring also increases exponentially!
In order to restrain the extremely violent energy and speed inside, the structure of the entire magnetic ring was strengthened to an unbelievable degree, and the blue light it emitted became increasingly intense, as if it had bound a condensed star surface into a ring!
This is Augusta's trump card, hidden until now, combining the essence of her ultimate understanding of magnetic fields: [Celestial Magnetic Track - Annihilation Ring]!
In theory, given enough acceleration time and energy, the speed of the hundreds of tons of high-temperature plasma metal inside this magnetic ring can be pushed infinitely high, until it approaches the speed of light!
At that time, what will be ejected will no longer be a jet of metal, but a destructive torrent powerful enough to evaporate and penetrate the star's core!
At this moment, time was of the essence, and Augusta only had time to accelerate it to a "mere" ten thousand times the speed of sound.
But that's enough!
"Annihilation—Launch!"
Augusta's spirit and cry resounded throughout the battlefield!
At her will, the enormous magnetic ring that hung in the sky, radiating a blue light that made the world pale in comparison, suddenly trembled!
Inside the ring, a beam of intensely concentrated light, only as thick as an arm, yet radiating a dazzling blue-white brilliance that seemed capable of burning through space itself, silently shot out!
That beam of light is too fast!
Its speed is so fast that it exceeds the dynamic visual capture limit of most wizards!
Wherever the beam of light passes, its extreme kinetic energy and high temperature directly evaporate and annihilate the air, dust, and even the smallest spatial structures in its path.
It left behind a straight, dark, and void-like trail that could not be healed for a long time!
It was as if the sky had been gouged out of a scar by this light of judgment!
The black-robed wizard's face beneath his hood became extremely solemn, even showing a rare hint of shock and anger.
The power, speed, and the pure, extreme physical destructive intent contained within this strike have reached a level that is enough to truly threaten the life of a sixth-level wizard!
More importantly—there's no escaping it!
Just now, he was disturbed by the Augusta magnetic field again.
The other person guided his thoughts, making him focus most of his attention on Jemin.
At this moment, having been overwhelmed by Jemin's attention, there was no time to dodge.
"hateful!"
He cursed under his breath, forced to abandon his immediate attack on Jemin, and forcibly used most of his already limited "quota" to deal with the annihilation that had fallen from the sky!
boom!!!
The blue-white beam of light struck the location where the black-robed wizard was!
There was no earth-shattering explosion because the sound could not travel as fast as the energy was released.
A blindingly bright light, so intense that even Augusta, watching from afar, had to squint, burst forth, accompanied by a destructive shockwave that ripped away tens of meters of rock from the ground below!
A massive crater, over a kilometer in diameter, where everything inside was instantly vaporized, appeared at the point of impact of the beam.
The rocks at the edge of the pit exhibit a vitrified crystalline state, with wisps of heat rising and distorting the air.
As the intense light and dust dissipated, the figure of the black-robed wizard remained suspended in its original position, seemingly unharmed.
But the black-robed wizard's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
Almost at the same moment the annihilation beam ended, Augusta and the black-robed wizard both turned their gazes toward Jemin in the distance!
The Annihilation Ring's attack may have bought her only a fleeting moment.
But this moment is enough!
In the distance, the intense, volatile light emanating from Jemin's body had completely subsided and stabilized.
The color of the light was fixed as a deep, restrained, yet seemingly containing endless destruction and vitality dark gold.
Moreover, this dark golden light is no longer just a halo of energy emission, but a physical entity forged by the most skilled forging master using light as material and after countless hammerings!
From a distance, Jemin looked as if he had transformed into a perfect human-shaped statue cast from a pure, dark gold, unknown metal!
A deadly sense of threat, so intense that even the muscles around the black-robed wizard's eyes twitched uncontrollably, instantly coiled around his soul like a cold, venomous snake!
His intuition, that fighting instinct honed through countless life-and-death experiences, was screaming wildly—
Danger!
Extremely dangerous!
In this state, Jemin is capable of killing himself!
This was the first time since the start of the battle that the black-robed wizard had truly and uncontrollably felt the shadow of death.
