I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 515 [Fiction]

The sky was filled with dark gray bullets, like an inexhaustible rain of death, continuously washing over the airspace where Jemin was located.

Each barrage of comments was accompanied by the sound of at least one layer of the Guixu Armor field shattering like fragile glass.

But at this moment, a rare sense of relief rose in Jemin's heart.

I'm glad I did some research on those two "reward" technologies out of boredom.

Although the "Multi-layer Barrier Nesting Optimization Algorithm" did not help him supplement his combat system, it played an unexpected and crucial role in the current extremely passive defensive battle.

Thanks to the algorithm optimization, he was able to activate multiple Guixu Armor artifacts almost simultaneously.

Through the algorithm's built-in "conflict resolution" and "energy flow bridging" modules, these hastily formed layers of similar defense fields can barely maintain an unstable "multi-layer superposition" state within milliseconds.

This is far from a perfect multi-layered defense.

The energy flow is not smooth enough, the superimposed defensive effects are significantly weakened and interfered with, the overall structure is extremely fragile, and it consumes a huge amount of Jieming's mental computing power.

If it weren't for the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, his natal magic treasure, which greatly amplified his mental stability and calculation efficiency, such operation would be difficult to maintain in high-speed combat.

But at this moment, this accumulation of "imperfections" has become a lifeline.

It can consume the endless barrage of destructive attacks from the black-robed wizard in layers.

With each wave of intense attacks, the outermost layer of the Void Armor shattered, but the inner layer still provided a buffer, giving Jemin a tiny window of time to activate a new layer of defense.

He was dancing on the edge of a knife, pushing the Tai Xu Step to its limit, making all sorts of incredible evasive maneuvers in the gaps between the dense barrage of bullets, while continuously controlling the floating cannons to retaliate and probe.

Dark golden divine light shot at the black-robed wizard from different angles and in different patterns, sometimes targeting him, sometimes scattering it, and sometimes illuminating him briefly.

Instead of aiming for a decisive blow, Jemin frantically collected data through attack feedback.

"As expected... it can't truly react to the speed of light." A look of realization flashed in Jemin's eyes.

After dozens of rounds of probing shots from different directions and in different modes, he gradually figured out the pattern of the opponent's strange "defense".

Any attack that directly targets the black-robed wizard's body will trigger an "automatic response" just before it hits.

This response was not a subjective "reaction" from the black-robed wizard, but rather a passive "phenomenon" based on some pre-set rules.

Its outward manifestation is that the black-robed wizard's body or limbs always "meet" or "block" the trajectory of the attack in just the right posture, and then the attack disappears as if it has crashed into nothingness.

"It's not about increasing reaction speed, it's more like... distorting the 'time' between the attack and myself?" Jemin analyzed rapidly in his mind. "No, it could also be that it changed the 'connection' between the two, forcibly synchronizing the attack with the result of his 'completed defensive action' at the moment of 'about to hit'? Is it a time-related or fate-related law?"

However, he immediately ruled out the possibility of time-related or fate-related laws.

If the opponent truly possessed profound mastery of time or fate manipulation, the battle would never have been a "mutual attack" situation like it is now.

Moreover, in terms of defense and attack, the opponent's attack was clearly not similar to elemental purification or dispel; it was more like the attack was directly erased.

Moreover, the opponent's attack methods clearly reflect a different set of rules.

Defense and attack exhibit three different law-level characteristics.

Could it be that the other party is studying multiple laws simultaneously?

Or is it... some kind of special law?
The civilization of wizards is vast and complex, with tens of thousands of unorthodox rules recorded.

Based on all the details he observed, Jemin began to rapidly sift through and compare them in his memory bank.

The "synchronization" of defense is as if it presupposes that "the attack will inevitably be intercepted".

The defensive "method" is like directly "erasing the existence of the attack".

The attack's "breaking the law" is like forcibly defining a state where "the defense will inevitably be breached".

Among these, the types of laws that can erase attacks are the fewest, even rarer; only tens of thousands have been discovered throughout the entire wizarding civilization.

Jemin quickly reviewed the effects of the relevant laws in his mind, constantly comparing them with the current situation.

Suddenly, Jemin's eyes lit up!
"It's very likely...this is it!"

Although it cannot be confirmed with 100% certainty, this conjecture is sufficient to explain most of the strange phenomena we are witnessing!

Just as he was preparing to conduct further tests to see if his guess was correct...

A sudden change has occurred!

Just as Jemin's mind was slightly stirred by the new discovery, the black-robed wizard, who had remained as steady as a rock and mainly suppressed and wore down his opponent with barrages of bullets, made a move!
Using the visual cover provided by the bullet comments, the black-robed wizard vanished from his spot without warning!

There were no ripples from any spatial jump, no afterimages of high-speed movement, and not even any signs of violent energy fluctuations.

It was as if the fact that he was "standing a hundred miles away" was erased in an instant, while the new fact that he was "appearing three feet beside Jieming" was forcibly written into reality!

When Jemin turned around in horror, relying on his body tempering technique's sense of danger and his combat intuition, those eyes burning with dark red embers were already inches away!
A hand covered by a black leather glove, with clearly defined knuckles, was moving towards his chest with a seemingly slow but actually swift motion! Quick!
Incredibly fast!

It's not about physical speed, but rather the revolutionary speed brought about by the complete omission of the process of "going from non-existence to existence" and "going from far to near"!
The pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinhead!
My heart almost stopped beating!

But in that life-or-death moment, extreme fear gave rise to extreme clarity.

The opponent's completely illogical "flash" close-range attack, and his straightforward, deadly killing stance, did not panic Jemin. Instead, it was like the last piece of the puzzle, instantly and perfectly matching his astonishing conjecture!
In the blink of an eye, the hand had already touched Jemin's body.

The outermost layers of the Guixu Armor, maintained by a multi-layered boundary algorithm, vanished instantly like a punctured soap bubble.

The hand that looked definitely wrong was about to press down...

A ruthless glint flashed in Jemin's eyes!
Instead of futilely dodging or defending, he made a move that made the black-robed wizard's dark red eyes flicker slightly!

In an instant, he channeled all his strength into his right arm, advancing instead of retreating, and threw a punch at the incoming palm!

Strangely enough, as the fist was thrown, the opponent's hand, which should have been incredibly fast, actually "slowed down"!

A hint of joy flashed in Jemin's eyes; he knew he had guessed correctly!
The reason the opponent's attack was so fast is because it was designed to "make contact with my body"!

As the fist was thrown, the Void Armor activation artifact, which had been prepared in Jemin's body, was simultaneously activated!

In the blink of an eye, fists and palms collided.

call……

There was no earth-shattering collision, no explosive energy collision.

Jemin's fist automatically "dissipated" the moment it touched the black-robed wizard's palm.

It was as if his fist was merely a delicate phantom made of smoke, which could be easily shattered with a casual slap.

Moreover, this eerie dissipation rapidly spread upwards along his wrist.

It looked as if the black-robed wizard's palm strike had easily "shattered" a humanoid figure formed from smoke, starting from the point of contact!
The black-robed wizard's eyes, hidden beneath his hood, remained completely calm, for this was simply the expected outcome.

But the next moment, the dark red flame in his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

Because the unstoppable "dissipation" abruptly stopped when it reached the junction of Jemin's arm and shoulder!

A slightly dim Guixu Jia field appeared at the last moment, like the strongest dam, firmly resisting the erosion of "dissipation"!

Click!

This layer of the Void Armor shattered in response, but it did indeed help Jemin stop the erosion.

"Ugh!"

Jemin let out a painful groan, and taking advantage of the weak force of the collision and the recoil from the shattered Guixu Armor, he unleashed the full power of his Taixu Step, which had been ready for a long time!
His body was as if pulled by an invisible force, turning into a twisted afterimage, and he retreated wildly backward in a disheveled manner!

It wasn't until he retreated to a relatively "safe" distance that Jemin managed to regain his balance.

His face was deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

The right shoulder was empty, the cut was a bloody mess, but a powerful life force had begun to surge.

The ruptured blood vessels and muscles twisted and stretched like living things, rapidly building the rudiments of a skeleton, which were then covered with newly grown flesh.

Soon, a brand new, slightly pale arm grew at a speed visible to the naked eye!

He stared intently into the distance without immediately giving chase, seemingly scrutinizing his black-robed wizard, the intense pain from his severed arm intertwined with the tingling sensation of his newly formed tissue.

But none of this was as clear as the almost certain conclusion churning in his mind.

The inevitable interception in defense.

The attack's "structural collapse".

The moving "fact jump".

And the terrifying effect of that instant contact, which directly "dissipated" part of his body's "existence"...

All these characteristics point unequivocally to that extremely rare and bizarre law.

It's not simple energy manipulation, nor is it spacetime distortion; it's a more fundamental force that acts on the levels of "reality" and "concept."

Jemin stretched out his newly grown right hand and clenched his fist tightly.

His attention, however, was completely elsewhere. Instead, he stared intently at the black-robed wizard, his voice hoarse yet carrying a certainty born of a profound understanding of the truth:
"What terrifying power. What you used must be the origin of the Fictional Law, the Law... [Fictional], am I right?"

The black-robed wizard stood silently in place, his dark red eyes beneath his hood flickering slightly, revealing for the first time a hint of seriousness in his gaze.
