"Accelerate!"
Watching the white fur balls continuously gathering from the sea of clouds below, Jieming didn't hesitate. He decisively activated the "Acceleration" rune-imbued magical artifact.
Leveraging the enhanced dynamic vision provided by "Acceleration," Jieming observed the fur balls' movements while simultaneously assessing the wizards around him.
Although Levin Mills' earlier mental power-infused shout had momentarily freed everyone from the illusion, giving them a chance to react, among the group, only Jieming and Levin Mills—the third-tier wizard—were minimally affected.
Jieming couldn't discern Levin Mills' method of resisting the curse, but he surmised it was likely due to the laws the wizard had been researching.
The next most capable wizard was Jack.
Complex magical auras continuously flared around him, suggesting he had crafted a specialized spell artifact to resist "mind" and "curse" attacks.
Though his clenched jaw revealed the immense strain of his resistance, he managed to maintain combat effectiveness.
Apart from them, only one temporarily recruited wizard and a member of Jack's team remained.
Though both wizards had been severely affected and were no longer capable of effective combat, they could still cast basic protective magic to shield themselves.
Levin Mills, the strongest third-tier wizard present, raised his hands, and thick, tangible plumes of dark green poison mist billowed from his sleeves.
The moment the swarming white fur balls touched the seemingly ordinary mist, their bodies dissolved as if corroded by concentrated acid, and they died instantly.
But the sheer number of fur balls was overwhelming!
Millions of them surged forward relentlessly, attacking without fear of death.
Like moths drawn to a flame, they relentlessly devoured the seemingly boundless poison mist.
Moreover, each fur ball exploded violently upon death, releasing all the weak energy stored within.
Though each exploding fluff ball possessed only modest destructive power, their relentless, tidal-wave-like numbers relentlessly suppressed Levin Mills' deadly poisonous mist.
Meanwhile, Jack, having barely stabilized his mental state, immediately activated his alchemy armament, which resembled a suit of armor.
Endless streams of metallic, shimmering mechanical components surged forth from the seemingly slender alchemy armament, rapidly transforming him into a colossal humanoid construct dozens of meters tall—a towering war fortress of metal and magic.
"Die!"
The massive humanoid construct roared, leaping into the white "ocean" formed by countless fluff balls.
It swung its massive metallic arms with reckless abandon, flames erupting from its palms as it unleashed its berserk power.
Seeing this, Jieming first used his mental power to drag the surrounding wizards, who were now completely incapacitated, toward the rear.
He then tossed them like sacks of grain to the two wizards struggling to maintain their protective shields.
"Listen up! Ten thousand military merits each! We'll deduct it from these guys' rewards later!"
Jieming glanced at Levin Mills and Jack's situation before slowly raising his hand.
The ten crystal-clear rune-imbued magical artifacts on his wrist floated up under his mental command, forming a radiant band of light around his wrist.
"These guys are surprisingly fragile... Then let's use 'explosion' mode..."
After observing their combat, Jieming thought to himself.
Focusing his mental power ahead, he tentatively fired a compressed energy bullet.
A human head-sized energy bullet shot forward like a cannonball, effortlessly shattering every fur ball in its path.
Once the energy bullet had penetrated deep into the enemy ranks, Jieming detonated it with his mental control!
A visible shockwave tore a massive hole through the white "ocean," unleashing a terrifying blast of qi!
The fur balls caught in the blast were instantly pulverized by the overwhelming force!
Seeing the effectiveness of his attack, Jieming hesitated no longer. The rune-imbued magical artifacts on his wrist simultaneously blazed with blinding light.
The ten second-tier rune seal artifact he had crafted now unleashed their full might!
A relentless barrage of energy bullets erupted from the artifacts like a torrential downpour.
Under Jieming's precise control, the projectiles rained down evenly and densely upon the endless white ocean of fur balls.
second-tier rune seal artifact not only allowed for the instantaneous release of powerful second-tier spell, but also significantly increased their firing rate.
Each artifact could unleash dozens of devastating energy bullets per second.
The sheer destructive output Jieming demonstrated at that moment was so terrifying that even Levin Mills, a third-tier wizard fighting nearby, couldn't help but glance over in awe amidst the chaos.
On the other side, Jack, piloting his armored construct, stared in disbelief from the cockpit.
He had always believed his trump card alchemy armament possessed overwhelming firepower.
But compared to Jieming's seemingly endless "carpet bombing," it was like comparing a candle to the sun.
He had never imagined a second-tier wizard could unleash such an absurdly sustained barrage of firepower!
Under Jieming's relentless assault, the lone wizard cleared out all the visible fur balls in mere minutes.
After the battle, the group began collecting their spoils of war: the corpses of the slain fur balls, as well as those that had miraculously survived the bombardment.
The wizards, still shaken from their near-death experience, wisely agreed to Jieming's demand of ten thousand military merits each as "protection money."
Having survived such a perilous situation, ten thousand merits seemed like a bargain.
The three who had participated in the battle, along with the two who had provided protection, divided the military merits according to their respective contributions.
Levin Mills approached Jieming, genuinely impressed. "Your future prospects are limitless."
Jieming modestly replied, "It was just good luck."
"Heh, achieving such feats requires far more than luck," Levin Mills said, shaking his head. He left it at that.
Jack, however, was far more direct.
After deactivating his alchemy armament, Jack instantly darted to Jieming's side, clapping him heartily on the shoulder. "Impressive! I never imagined you were this strong! This far exceeds my expectations..."
Jack lowered his voice. "That spell artifact you used earlier... is it for sale? I'm willing to pay a high price—a price that will definitely satisfy you!"
"I'm sorry, but this involves my core knowledge. I can't sell it right now," Jieming replied, shaking his head.
He wasn't lying. The rune-imbued magical artifact was the core technology behind Jieming's fusion of the cultivation and wizard systems.
After Jieming's refusal, Jack could only sigh in resignation.
After all, he wouldn't dare pry into another wizard's core techniques.
Having regrouped and reorganized, the group cautiously resumed their exploration.
Guided by the Fat Wizard's directions based on the mosquito swarm, Levin Mills soon discovered the missing wizard's corpse within an unremarkable cloud of mist.
Strictly speaking, it was no longer a corpse, but rather the missing wizard's intact "skin."
Everything beneath the skin—flesh, bones, organs—had vanished completely.
When the group discovered it, the eerie skin was still twitching slightly.
Levin Mills stepped forward and gently sliced the skin open with a flick of his finger.
The sight that greeted them was enough to make their scalps tingle: the skin was densely packed with transparent, juvenile fluff balls!
The surrounding wizards frowned, their faces twisting with disgust.
Yet, without hesitation, they began collecting these highly valuable juvenile fluff balls, their expressions remaining impassive.
In truth, the other wizards had long anticipated this fate for their fallen comrade.
Such was the nature of the Void Domain Plane.
Here, material resources were scarce, and even many indigenous creatures existed in a semi-material, semi-energy state.
To these Void Domain natives, wizards composed entirely of solid matter were rare and irresistible "feasts"!
"Let's move on. Continue the search. Everyone, stay vigilant."
The wizards showed no grief over their comrade's death.
Following Levin Mills' command, they resumed their journey, flying along their predetermined search route.
