Chapter 490 Heart palpitations
At the same time, about 800 kilometers away from the lava basin, there was a rugged area of rocky mountains.
Jemin, who was stealthily moving, suddenly stopped.
He subconsciously looked to his left, where intense energy fluctuations were emanating from the back of the rocky mountain, 300 kilometers away.
He concealed his presence and quietly approached, quickly discerning the situation: three Norn Workshop wizards were besieging a gray-robed wizard from the Tower of Annihilation.
Despite being outnumbered three to one, the Norren Workshop wizard did not gain the upper hand.
The wizard from the Tower of Annihilation moved with unpredictable speed, his feet creating ripples of gray-white energy that propelled his figure to shift and become ghostly.
The energy beams released from his hands were incredibly powerful. Combined with his ghostly movement speed and formidable shields, the three Norn Workshop wizards were unable to break through his defenses, and the battle reached a stalemate.
"Interesting." Jemin observed from the shadows. "This guy's combat skills are much better than those thirteen from before."
After observing for a while, Jemin was just about to take action and eliminate the enemy.
A chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from the space on the left!
fast!
It was so fast that Jemin didn't even have time to react!
Fortunately, the Guixu Armor instinctively activated, and the transparent armor instantly covered its body.
Almost simultaneously, a crystal dagger, completely transparent and surrounded by spatial cracks, pierced out from the void and aimed precisely at Jemin's left temple!
Sizzle!!
A piercing, electric shock-like sound exploded!
The dagger stopped a millimeter in front of the skin, firmly held back by the Guixu Armor.
The chilling killing intent emanating from the armor sent shivers down Jemin's spine!
He didn't even turn his head; his left hand had already swung backward with lightning speed!
But the attackers are faster.
The attack missed, and the dagger retracted as if it were alive, along with the figure that disappeared into the ripples of space.
Jemin grabbed nothing with his left hand.
"Space jump?!"
His pupils contracted sharply, and he clenched his right hand tightly over the area where the ripples had not yet subsided!
"Space—Stable!"
The space within a kilometer instantly froze, and all jumping, folding, and concealment were forcibly interrupted and suppressed.
A figure was "squeezed" out of the void.
The opponent's body had a translucent, crystal-like texture throughout, indicating that it was not wearing armor, but rather that its entire body had undergone some kind of biological and mineral modification.
He remained kneeling, holding a dagger in his right hand, while a light shone from his left hand, presumably indicating that he was attempting a second jump, but the solidified space had locked down all his spatial magic.
He slowly raised his head.
The crystal face has no facial features, only two pitch-black holes that devour light as "eyes".
His gaze was cold and indifferent, looking at Jemin as if he were sizing up prey.
The Chaos Cult, "Crystal Modification System".
Jemin immediately recognized the extent of the other party's technical skills.
My heart was still pounding, and my inner lining was soaked with cold sweat.
If the Guixu Armor hadn't automatically protected him so quickly just now, he might have already died!
The Causal Tracing Technique quickly traced back, revealing that the other party had been lurking in the spatial interlayer before he arrived in this area to observe the battle, presumably waiting for an opportunity to eliminate the enemy, but instead discovered that Jemin was a more suitable prey.
"I was careless." Jemin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
That's why he came out to gain experience.
No matter how thorough the simulation is, it can't compare to the life-or-death sense of crisis in real combat.
It forces you to confront your weaknesses, reaction limits, and shortcomings in life-or-death struggles.
Just as he confronted the Crystal Wizard, the three-on-one battle next to him had stopped at some point.
The four wizards stared in disbelief, their faces etched with shock.
Although the exchange that just happened was brief, the danger and skill involved made the onlookers' hearts pound.
More importantly, the four of them had no idea that there were two other people hiding next to them!
The crystal wizard slowly rose, his dark hole devoid of any emotion.
He raised his left hand and pressed it lightly against the frozen space...
Click.
A soft sound like glass shattering.
Jemin felt his "spatial stability" begin to crumble, as if it had been redefined by some more sophisticated spatial technique. "What kind of witchcraft?" Jemin's pupils contracted slightly.
As the Crystal Wizard loosened his restraints, his form faded once more.
Clearly, after realizing his assassination attempt had failed, he decided not to pursue the matter further and prepared to leave.
Jemin's eyes turned cold, and he raised his right hand, intending to continue releasing spatial stabilization.
But just as the light was about to fully form, the Crystal Wizard's figure vanished completely, and even the Karma Tracing Technique could only capture a blurry trace that was rapidly dissipating.
"gone?"
Jemin remained vigilant, scanning the area three times with his Causal Tracing Technique to confirm there were no other ambushes before slowly exhaling.
He raised his hand to touch the back of his head, his palm was covered in cold sweat.
"That brief moment just now..."
My heart still pounds as I recall the image of the dagger stabbing me.
This unexpected turn of events abruptly extinguished the pride that had unconsciously arisen in Jemin after he had just instantly killed more than ten wizards of the same level.
“Still…not strong enough,” Jemin murmured.
The four wizards beside him remained rooted to the spot, their gazes shifting between Jemin and the Noren Workshop badge on his chest, a mixture of wariness and shock in their expressions.
After all, there are quite a few enemies on the battlefield who are disguised as friendly forces, and they dare not relax until Jemin seriously reveals his attitude.
However, still shaken from the assassination attempt, Jemin had no desire to continue entangled with these people.
He turned to look at the wizard of the Tower of Annihilation.
The other person noticed the gaze, stiffened slightly, and subconsciously took a half step back.
Jemin, too lazy to waste words, raised his right hand and extended his index finger.
Dark golden light gathered at the fingertips.
hum...
The surrounding atmosphere and light began to distort.
The face beneath the wizard's mask in the Tower of Annihilation turned deathly pale instantly; he felt the chilling premonition of being locked onto by the Grim Reaper.
"Do not!!!"
He roared and activated all his defenses, with light and dark energies intertwining to form dozens of layers of shields. His figure blurred as he tried to blend into the environment, and he even burned a part of his soul to release a terrifying beam of energy.
But all methods were ineffective.
A dark golden light swept across.
The shield shattered layer by layer, the ethereal body was forcibly fixed, and the beam of light was directly bounced back.
The light fell on his chest.
A soft "poof" sound.
The wizard froze instantly, looking down at his chest.
A smooth, mirror-like void is rapidly expanding, and everything within it is "extinguishing": flesh, bones, energy, soul... like an erased portrait, disappearing inch by inch.
In the blink of an eye, only a cloud of gray dust remained.
Jemin stopped, and the light faded.
Without even glancing at the three Norren Workshop wizards, he turned and stepped into the air, using the Void Step technique again to conceal his figure and speed towards the defensive line.
The three wizards stood there, frozen in place, for a long time.
Finally, one of them spoke hoarsely, "Just now... that was..."
The other person swallowed hard: "I don't know..."
The third person slowly turned his head, his eyes still filled with shock: "If he wanted to kill us just now...the three of us..."
Before they could finish speaking, all three knew they couldn't withstand even one blow, and they all involuntarily swallowed.
"Fortunately...it's one of our own..."
