Digging to Survive: I Can See Hints - Chapter 274
Chapter 274: Life-and-Death Crisis, I’m Going All Out!
Klein’s mini man stood in front of the magic core of the tornado.
The core in front of him wasn’t big, but the rich elemental power was extremely terrifying.
This was also the mini man’s goal. By controlling the core in front of him, Klein could control the half-step natural disaster outside, the terrifying tornado, and resolve his life-and-death crisis.
But was it really that easy?
Standing in front of the tornado magic core, the wind elements entangled in it constantly collided, producing an even stronger wind force.
The terrifying wind force even changed the surrounding space.
It seemed to become unstable.
Even when standing in front of the magic core, he could feel his body trembling, as if it would be stripped off by the invisible wind at any moment.
“Quick!”
Klein increased his mana output once again.
Having received Klein’s mana output, the small figure finally had the capital to deal with the magic core.
It stood in front of the magic core with a grim expression, and the body formed from magic became even more solid.
Then, it opened its hands and slowly walked toward the magic core in a large font.
To enter the magic core, one had to first withstand the corrosion of the magic core.
And to do so, one had to have extremely solid magic. Only then would they not be scattered by the high-speed wind pressure of the magic core.
The mini figure resolutely walked forward under Klein’s will.
Feeling the wind pressure scraping against it, the mini figure took a deep breath and suddenly pressed down.
Instantly, the wind pressure erupted and sucked the mini figure’s hand in.
Being pulled by both hands, the mini figure could no longer control its body and was pulled inch by inch into the core by the wind pressure.
“No!”
Klein sensed the changes in the mini figure and immediately looked anxious.
Once pulled in by the wind pressure, in a few seconds, Klein’s mini figure would be torn apart by the wind pressure, and Klein would lose his last chance.
‘What should I do?’
Klein gritted his teeth and constantly controlled the mini figure to fight against the magic core.
However, Klein still underestimated the magic core.
Or rather, Klein had underestimated how terrifying a magic core that could produce a half-step natural disaster was.
That was why he had entered the magic core so carelessly and fought for control of the half-step natural disaster.
Once Klein lost control of the mini figure, or if the mini figure was scattered and absorbed by the magic core, all of Klein’s mana would completely disappear.
What followed was an even more terrifying magic backlash.
The strength of the magic backlash could be compared to the earth spike that the Armored Scorpion had released. When Klein blocked the Armored Scorpion’s earth spike spell, preventing the Armored Scorpion’s earth spike spell from being released, it triggered the magic backlash, and the Armored Scorpion’s pincers were directly blasted apart by the backlash.
And the magic that the Armored Scorpion had used was only one-tenth of what Klein had used this time.
Just one-tenth was already so terrifying. If Klein’s massive amount of magic was hit by the backlash, he would be blasted apart by the magic backlash before the Rogue Archer’s bow and arrow could even land on him.
The explosion wasn’t just a simple amputation of limbs. It would start from Klein’s source of mana and blast his entire body into smithereens!
This was something Klein hadn’t expected.
He thought that with the three laws of physics from his previous life and the explanation of magic in the anime, he would have a better chance of exploring the mysteries of magic than the natives. That was why he dared to be so bold and fight for control of the half-step calamity magic.
But clearly, he was careless!
And it was precisely because of his carelessness that he ended up dead for the second time.
There were eighteen bows whistling as they prepared to claim his life.
Then, there was the danger of the magic core. It could devour all of Klein’s magic at any time, causing Klein to die from the backlash!
The Rogue Archer in the distance seemed to have noticed something from Klein’s expression and the magic in the sky.
After all, as a long-lived immortal, he had seen many things.
But everything in front of his eyes refreshed his knowledge once again.
That was because in all of his knowledge, there had never been a single person.
Not just a sense of existence to challenge a half-step catastrophe!
And to do so in such a crude manner was simply courting death!
“This human is doomed!”
The Rogue Archer couldn’t help but shake his head.
He had seen people who liked to court death, but he had never seen someone who liked to court death as much as the person in front of him.
“However, this is good as well. There’s no need to continue attacking. The backlash from the magic will be enough to blast him to smithereens.”
The Rogue Archer was filled with mockery as he sentenced Klein to death for his suicidal actions.
And although Klein didn’t know what the Rogue Archer was thinking, he knew from the feedback from the imposter that he was already at a moment of life and death.
The pull of the magic core on the mini figure was extremely fast.
Even with Klein’s constant control, he could only slow it down by a fraction.
In front of the absorption speed of the magic core, this fraction was like a drop in the bucket. It could only delay his death by a few seconds.
Klein gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, I can’t do this anymore!”
However, there was nothing he could do at this moment. The magic power in his body had already been depleted by the research tornado, and now, he was using so much magic power to control the half-step natural disaster tornado.
Therefore, the magic in Klein’s body was already very depleted, and he couldn’t squeeze out any more magic.
Fortunately, Klein had a firm will. Otherwise, the depleted magic would be enough to make Klein fall into a short period of dizziness!
But even so, Klein’s situation was still not good. He could die from the backlash of the magic at any moment!
‘I can’t do this anymore. I have to take the initiative.’
Klein steeled his heart and knew that his chances were running out. As the mini figure got closer to the magic core, his control over the mini figure would also decrease.
In the end, even if Klein found a chance to turn the tables, it would still be difficult for him to fight against such a massive half-step natural disaster’s core.
With this in mind, Klein took out the extremely precious Earth Dew that could save his life.
[Earth Dew. Can recover 30% of HP and mana.]
Klein bit the bottle cap and stuffed it into his mouth as he gulped it down.
The restorative power of Earth Dew instantly spread out in Klein’s mouth.
It quickly followed Klein’s guidance and entered the source of magic that had long since dried up.
It was also constantly being injected with extremely pure magic.
Feeling the magic in his body gradually filling up, the pressure in Klein’s body lessened.
When the magic had accumulated to a certain extent, Klein once again increased the output of his magic power, continuing to fight for control with the half-step natural disaster tornado.
As for the mini figure of magic in the half-step natural disaster, with Klein’s magic power once again augmenting it, its body, which had been somewhat sluggish, trembled and burst out with a burst of light. After the light, its body instantly solidified, and it actually resisted the devouring of the magic core!
