Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

50 second……

"Gurgle gurgle—"

Seeing the other party rushing towards him, the Cold Cave Worm King merely rolled its icy blue eyes a few times, showing no sign of panic on its face.

"Eek—!"

The next moment, the hissing sound rose again, and the sound waves, compressed into cannonballs, roared out and slammed into the chest of the rock giant like an invisible giant hammer.

"Boom—Crack!!"

Instantly, the patterns on the part of it that was hit lit up, but even with the protection of the earth's power, spiderweb-like cracks spread across its chest in an instant.

But then, the second and third shots followed in quick succession.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

Dense sonic projectiles bombarded the rock giant's body, and the cracks in its chest gradually widened. In an instant, its once indestructible rock body was riddled with wounds.

But it did not back down. Its glowing arms slammed into the ground, instantly creating shockwaves that neutralized the incoming sonic blast.

Finally, it arrived in front of the Cold Storage Worm King.

40 second……

"roar--!!"

The next moment, its thick arm swept out fiercely, and the heavy fist formed from a single block of rock slammed solidly into the worm king's head, creating a loud bang.

"Thump—!!!"

The worm king merely tilted its head slightly, as if it had only been bitten by a fly; not a single scratch was left on its glossy white carapace.

This is level two.

The sheer physical strength alone has created an insurmountable chasm at the first level.

30 second……

In an instant, the offensive was reversed.

Seeing that its opponent was closing in, the Cold Cave Worm King stopped releasing shockwaves.

Its massive body writhed and then lunged forward, slamming hard into the giant rock spirit.

"Thump—!"

A dull, loud bang exploded instantly; the force of the impact was so great that it was like a small building flying at high speed crashing straight down on us.

But the giant rock only roared and dug its legs deep into the earth, using its mountain-like body to withstand the worm king's charge.

Even so, it was dragged back several meters, its legs even carving two bottomless furrows in the hard ground.

Suddenly, Digpaggi's voice came from behind:

"Hit...where it's injured."

At this moment, his breath had already weakened, and his face was as pale as paper.

However, the reason he was in such a weak state was not because he summoned the Rock Giant, but because of his previous "communications" with the rock wall.

Summoning the Stone Giant was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Upon receiving the summoner's command, the Rock Giant immediately changed its attack method, thrusting out its fists and slamming them hard into the cracks in the opponent's shell.

"Pfft—splash splash!"

As expected, a large amount of azure blood gushed out from the wound of the Cold Cave Worm, and it immediately let out a mournful hiss.

"Eek—!"

20 second……

However, just as the giant rock spirit withdrew its fist, intending to throw another punch,

The giant mouth of the Cold Cave Worm King, filled with mandibles, suddenly opened, and the bottomless darkness in front of it instantly swallowed its vision.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible suction force came from its mouth, and the clumsy boulder was sucked into the abyss's maw before it could even react.

Fortunately, its rocky body was large enough that half of its body was stuck in the mouth of the Cold Cave Worm King, thus preventing it from being swallowed.

but--

"Snap—! Snap snap!!"

Suddenly, a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds came from the worm king's mouth.

At this moment, countless sharp teeth shaped like ice blades were frantically gnawing at the body of the rock giant, and the hard rock body was crumbling layer by layer as if it were made of paper.

The giant rock began to struggle violently. It raised its heavy arms and, with its last bit of strength, slammed its enormous fists into the worm king's head again and again.

"Thump...thump! thump!"

However, this attack was like a tickle.

The Cold Cave Worm King first squinted its eyes contentedly, and then—it suddenly exerted force with its jaw!

"Crack—Bang!!"

The next moment, the giant stone spirit abruptly stopped moving.

Its body—completely shattered.

Inside and out... from the patterns on the surface to the elemental crystals formed deep within, everything shattered and turned into dust.

"roar--!"

The giant stone spirit let out a final, unwilling roar, then its eyes dimmed and it fell into complete silence.

"Splash... splash..."

Its body was completely absorbed into the belly of the Cold Cave Worm King, turning into a rich feast.

"..."

Finally, the Cold Cave Worm King slowly closed its mouth and mouthparts, seemingly digesting this hard-won delicacy.

10 second……

In less than two minutes, the Cold Cave Worm King had dealt with the Rock Giant, a creature that most professional wizards found quite troublesome.

There are no elaborate or ornate witchcraft techniques, only a simple numerical crushing victory.

Only 10 seconds remain.

But now, the Cold Cave Worm King has arrived before everyone.

"Gurgle...gurgle gurgle..."

Seemingly aware of Clotilde's relentless approach, Clotilde was closing in on him.

The Cold Cave Worm King decided to stop delaying and opened its massive maw once more, unleashing a terrifying suction force as it attempted to drag everyone into its bottomless abyss.

"Ah... Ahhhhh!!!"

No one had any power to resist. Their bodies were instantly lifted off the ground and dragged little by little into that terrifying maw.

At the critical moment, Hughes stretched out his hands forward.

"Buzz—!"

The next moment, the slow space instantly unfolded in front of everyone, forming a huge ripple barrier in front of the giant mouth.

"Buzz...buzz buzz buzz..."

Instantly, pulled by the suction force, everyone flew straight into the slow space that Hughes had created.

An eerie sense of stillness instantly spread throughout their bodies, yet at that moment, it made everyone feel incredibly at ease.

Their bodies froze instantly in mid-air, suspended in an almost static position before the abyssal maw of the Cold Storage Worm King, no matter how much they were sucked in and pulled.

However... there was one exception.

"Aaaaaah!!! Help! Help me!!"

Jaeiro was standing at the very front of the group and was the first to be pulled off the ground by the suction.

Therefore, just before Hughes set up the slow-motion space, this unfortunate creature was pulled out of the slow-motion space's coverage area and continued to be pulled by the suction force into the abyss above.

Hughes was powerless to help, and could only silently reinforce the slow space around himself to avoid suffering the same tragedy as his opponent.

"..."

Jaeiro was quickly pulled into the giant mouth, his figure instantly disappearing into the shadows within, and his voice vanished as well.
