Chapter 110 Formidable Enemy
Its eyes burned with earth fire, radiating a scorching, ferocious light. In its hand, it gripped a warhammer constructed from solidified lava, each swing generating waves of scorching air and billowing dust.
The aura emanating from this being was clearly at the level of a second-level being!
The battle erupted almost instantly!
Without uttering a single word, the underground demon elder swung his massive lava warhammer, unleashing a devastating force that seemed to shatter the earth, and slammed it down on the three of them!
Hot lava dripped from the warhammer, instantly scorching the rock walls in its wake.
"Watch out!" Victor shouted, swiftly waving the staff-shaped magical artifact in his hand, and a solid earthen wall instantly rose up.
However, the warhammer, carrying terrifying kinetic energy and fiery power, instantly tore through the earthen wall, forcing Victor Wolf Fox to retreat and causing his defensive magic to teeter on the brink of collapse.
Amy also took the opportunity to unleash a spell, bombarding the demon elder with several fireballs in quick succession.
However, when these fireballs landed on the demon elder's rock-like skin, they were like pebbles thrown into a lake, only creating a tiny ripple and failing to effectively break through his defenses.
The demon elder roared, the ground beneath his feet trembled, and several spikes made of rock and fire shot out from the ground.
Amy was forced to dodge.
The elder demon's strength and defense far exceeded their expectations; Amy and Victor's attacks were unable to inflict any effective damage on him!
Although both of them were only first-level wizards, wizards are generally much stronger when facing extraordinary entities from other planes.
In particular, since they have independently constructed offensive magic, the attacks they unleash should be sufficient to cause some damage to ordinary level two beings.
"This guy's acting strange, I'll take over!"
Only after the other party got close did Jemin realize that the "vibration" of the Demon Elder and the "vibration" of the surrounding mineral veins had a strange resonance.
This indicates that the opponent's power should be connected to the surrounding mineral veins as a whole, and can no longer be calculated as an ordinary level two creature.
Just before the Demon Elder's warhammer fell, Jemin stepped over Amy and the other two to meet it, while simultaneously activating all four layers of defense on his body!
The multi-layered defenses made the underground demon elder's attacks extremely inefficient; each strike was like hitting cotton, unable to truly reach Jemin.
While defending, the rune artifact on Jemin's wrist did not stop, unleashing a torrent of energy projectiles at full power.
Each energy blast precisely struck the subterranean demon elder's relatively vulnerable areas, such as his joints and neck.
The energy blast was slightly more effective than Amy's fireball.
Although each energy blast could cause damage, the Demon Elder's physique was too strong, and his injuries were healing rapidly at a visible speed, as if these injuries were just a tickle.
The time that Amy and Victor bought for Jemin allowed them to readjust their attack strategy, trying to find the Demon Elder's weakness, but the results were still unsatisfactory.
"This can't go on!" Victor gritted his teeth. "Its recovery speed is too fast!"
A glint of light flashed in Jemin's eyes.
"Restrict his movements!" he shouted in a deep voice, while taking out a magical artifact that radiated a cold metallic luster from his robes.
This magical artifact is a level four offensive magical artifact that he specifically purchased at the academy.
Without the slightest hesitation, Amy and Victor activated alchemy and offensive witchcraft simultaneously. With their mental energy replenished without reservation, the power of the witchcraft instantly reached its maximum!
Victor's wind blades gathered together, transforming into a giant hammer that struck the underground demon elder's leg joints and arms with tremendous force.
Amy, having already tested the demon elder before her and learned that he seemed to be immune to fire, simply focused on using alchemy to control the surrounding rocks, turning them into stone walls that pressed down on the opponent.
"Roar!!" The demon elder roared in pain.
Restricted by the powerful impact and the thick rock wall, its massive body swayed slightly, making it difficult to move nimbly.
The moment it was restricted, Jemin was already ready to finish.
A powerful surge of mental energy flooded the level-four magical artifact in his hand, instantly locking onto the subterranean demon elder's vital chest.
[Focused energy rays].
At the tip of the level-four magical artifact, blinding light instantly condensed, forming a crimson ray carrying a destructive aura.
The red light pierced the dim air of the mine and, in the blink of an eye, accurately struck the hard rock chest of the underground demon elder.
There was no roar, no explosion.
There was only a chilling "sizzling" sound.
The crimson ray instantly burned through the rocky skin of the underground demon elder, piercing through its flesh and bones.
With a difficult maneuver by Jemin, the red ray swept up and down before disappearing.
The demon elder's massive body stiffened abruptly, and the earth fire in his eyes instantly went out.
Boom!
The massive lava hammer slipped from its grasp and slammed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The three-meter-tall giant body of the underground demon elder was split in two and crashed to the ground, lifeless.
Its two broken "pieces" still had white smoke and black charred shells rising from them, showing the terrifying power of the ray just now. Amy and Victor breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but they were startled when they turned around and saw Jemin's condition, and immediately became alert.
While using investigative magic to explore the surroundings, they also stood guard guarding his side.
"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted."
Jemin put away the level-four magical artifact, his face slightly pale.
Using a level-four magical artifact did consume a lot of mental energy, but it wasn't enough to make him this tired. The real major drain was on the final fine-tuning of the spell.
Given the power of that demon elder and its demonstrated symbiotic relationship with the mineral vein, a single ray wound would be unlikely to be fatal unless it hit the head directly.
In desperation, Jemin could only forcibly control the fourth-level witchcraft to "sway" up and down slightly.
Ray-based witchcraft is the most difficult type to control, and forcibly manipulating an already formed offensive witchcraft is much more difficult than controlling a type of witchcraft like "soul search".
After taking a vial of potion, Jemin's complexion improved significantly.
"Thanks to your magical artifact, otherwise we would have been in real trouble this time." Victor breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Jemin shook his head: "With our current strength, activating a level four magical artifact is still too slow. Be careful."
This thing is clearly a demon elder, yet it didn't bring any subordinates with it.
"Reconnaissance indicates that there is an energy cluster not far ahead; judging from the energy fluctuations, it appears to be something resembling an altar."
"That must be why this guy went berserk." Amy pointed to the depths of the mine not far away.
Before the words were finished, the altar deep in the mine, guarded by the demon elder, suddenly trembled violently!
