Where the dazzling light converged, a massive mountain giant knelt on one knee.
Its colossal nine-zhang-tall body created a vast space, shielding Yu Shen'an, Irene, and even Doman, who was wrapped in a ball of plants and submerged underground, from the Heavenly Punishment strike!
Laymen watch the spectacle, while experts observe the intricacies.
While the citizens of Willis City were shocked by this mountain giant, which was a third larger than the lava giant, the mages were already pale with fright!
Summoning a lava giant was already terrifying.
Who would have thought that Ajieff had also contracted a mountain giant?
How vast must his soul power be?
Even more unbelievable was that the lava giant, which had been blasted into a pool of magma, quickly reformed and returned to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye as everyone watched.
This scene exceeded the cognitive limits of all mages regarding lava giants.
One must know that lava giants are born from and inhabit magma, and their combat power within magma is equivalent to that of a demigod, making them nearly immortal.
Of course, this does not mean that lava giants are invincible.
If they suffer a powerful attack that causes their bodies to instantly collapse, they will still die.
Even within magma, relying on the lava's protection to preserve a wisp of a remnant soul, it would take hundreds or thousands of years of gradual effort to successfully recondense a body.
Thus, let alone a lava giant that has left the magma.
This is a certain death situation!
Yet, Ajieff's lava giant forcefully crushed their magical knowledge!
"Roar--"
The lava giant roared at the sky, opening its mouth to spew a scorching flame towards March, who was still suspended in the air.
March quickly dodged, looking at Yu Shen'an with a terrified expression.
As a Archmage, the most powerful magic he mastered was a sixth-level spell, and there was only this one technique: [Heavenly Punishment]!
Even Heavenly Punishment couldn't do anything to Ajieff, what else could he do?
Rely on an endless stream of three-to-five-level spells to create an opportunity?
March gritted his teeth, about to decide to engage in the most dangerous close-quarters combat, when his legs suddenly felt cold!
He subconsciously controlled the levitation spell, flashed to the side, and looked down to check, only to discover with horror that his legs were broken, and the severed limbs fell straight down from the air.
In the place where he had been standing, a shadow demon with a ferocious expression licked its blood-stained claws, its figure gradually disappearing into the air.
"No--"
March rushed towards his severed limbs in panic, trying to pick them up.
Unexpectedly, just as he approached the severed limbs, his world suddenly went dark.
A gigantic palm, like a pillar reaching the sky, slapped down from the air, slamming him fiercely into the ground.
In the eyes of outsiders, they only saw the mountain giant, which had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly raise its kneeling knee slightly, adopting the starting posture of a sprint.
In an instant, it charged out, then leaped high, and slapped March down with one hand!
"Bang!"
March was slammed hard into the ground, leaving a human-shaped crater.
A shadow demon appeared beside the human-shaped crater and lifted him out of it.
At this moment, March had already fainted, his head hanging low, his body limp like a rag doll, clearly with thoroughly shattered bones.
If it weren't for the Archmage's abundant soul power and magic power supporting him, he would have died long ago.
The wind swept across this corner of the world, bringing a touch of heat.
That was the heat emanating from the lava giant.
The world fell silent.
Countless people looked at this scene in terror, gaining an intuitive understanding and clear knowledge of the power of an Archmage.
When they looked at Ajieff again, they were also filled with dread!
Especially the members of the [Willis Magic Plantation Association].
They realized that if they couldn't achieve a one-hit kill on Ajieff, then with his terrifying summoned creatures, below the level of a God of Magic, no one would be his opponent!
And yet, they had offended such a terrifying figure?
They wanted to cry but had no tears; their feelings were simply indescribable.
"Ajieff, spare him where you can. The mistakes he made have already been atoned for with the plantation. Let him go!"
A faint voice drifted over.
Everyone was surprised to find that at some point, the God of Magic, Dandare, had appeared on the parapet of the city wall, his black robe rustling in the strong wind.
Everyone looked on in disbelief.
Ajieff had not only destroyed someone's plantation but also beaten them to the brink of death.
Most importantly, he had violated the Willis commandment against "private duels." As a result, Lord Dandare's tone was gentle as he asked him to release the person?
Are you the God of Magic?
Or is Ajieff the God of Magic?
Yu Shen'an glanced at Dandare, pondered for a moment, and with a flick of his thought, a magic circle immediately lit up beneath the feet of his summoned creatures beside him. Their figures gradually disappeared with the brightening light of the magic circle.
March was also casually tossed to the side of the road by the shadow demon, like garbage.
After the mountain giant and the lava giant disappeared, everyone slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting everything else aside, just the visual impact brought by the enormous size of the two giants was enough to make people feel extremely oppressed.
Having done all this, Yu Shen'an was too lazy to reply, turning and walking towards Willis City.
Seeing this, Irene quickly followed.
Wherever Yu Shen'an walked, the crowd automatically parted to create a path, and everyone looked at this young face with reverence, various emotions flickering in their eyes.
Reverence, admiration, fanaticism... and so on.
After Yu Shen'an walked past, the wood elemental magic apprentices of the Forest of Magic also quickly followed behind.
Facing the gazes of the citizens of Willis City, they subconsciously straightened their backs, lifted their chins, and wore expressions of pride!
Thanks to the internet, the members of the Forest of Magic walked through the city almost entirely surrounded by a sea of onlookers.
Those reverent eyes made their faces flush with excitement!
Look, we are members of the Forest of Magic.
When they returned to the Forest of Magic, many magic apprentices still felt a sense of lingering excitement.
When Irene came to assign tasks, many people were still immersed in the previous shock, discussing animatedly while cultivating plants.
Without a doubt, this incident would cause a sensation in Willis!
Even in the Kvir Empire!
"Mr. Ajieff, the experimental tasks have all been assigned," Irene said respectfully as she walked up to Yu Shen'an, her eyes filled with not only reverence but also a touch of fanaticism.
"Okay, you keep an eye on things. I'm a bit tired, don't disturb me if there's nothing important," Yu Shen'an said.
"Yes!" Irene nodded quickly, thinking, how could he not be tired after commanding two giants in battle?
Little did she know, Yu Shen'an wasn't tired at all.
Those summoned creatures were summoned through the power of the contract; the only thing he needed to expend was some Source Matter.
The reason he made an excuse to leave was that the lava giant had sent him a plea!
Yu Shen'an left the underground laboratory and sat cross-legged in the side hall of the Forest of Magic, beginning to meditate.
In reality, his consciousness had returned to his main body, and using the divine perspective, he looked at the lava giant who had achieved great merit for him—Church.
In a volcano in the Abyss, Church knelt on the edge of the viscous, semi-solidified magma, praying in a low voice to the God of the Internet.
"Great God of the Internet, your divine power is so mighty, your strength is so unfathomable. Church is willing to open up territory for you and let your light shine upon the Abyss!"
As an elemental creature, Church's intelligence was not low.
It was just that living in the Abyssal volcanoes for a long time, their overly "simple" lives made their intelligence seem somewhat rigid.
But rigid didn't mean stupid.
No one knew that the scene that unfolded today had completely ignited its ambition.
Speaking of which, when Church was inexplicably summoned to a small dark room, brutally beaten, and forced to sign an unequal contract, it was both afraid of and hated Yu Shen'an!
Of course, the hatred only dared to be buried deep within its soul.
But everything that happened today transformed that hint of hatred into ambition!
When that terrifying lightning pillar blasted it into pieces, Church's powerful soul struggled and survived.
However, being alive was sometimes not a good thing.
Great terror eroded its soul.
It knew it was going to die.
Despair, annoyance, anger, regret, pain, powerlessness... countless negative emotions tormented it!
At that moment, it hated Yu Shen'an intensely!
If it weren't for Yu Shen'an, how could it have died?
Unexpectedly, just as it was sinking into absolute negative emotions, a surge of powerful life force suddenly poured in from Yu Shen'an through the mysterious contract.
It was resurrected.
It was resurrected on the spot, far from the magma!
And at that moment, surprise filled its body and mind, and the near-death experience also activated the ambition buried deep within its heart!
