**Chapter 707: The True Enemy and Calling for Reinforcents**
After retracting her hand, Viola remained standing in the void for a long ti.
Her Law solidification domain spread out to its maximum perception radius. Pale-gray runes of the Law of Pain slowly rotated in the void beneath her feet, scanning every inch of the surrounding space.
On the other side, Jie Ming repeatedly swept the All-Purpose Eye across the direction where the entity had appeared.
Within his pale-golden vertical pupils, countless streams of data refreshed at waterfall-like speeds.
The gravitational paraters of three stars, radiation frequency bands, spatial curvature, trajectories of material residue, fluctuation frequencies of the elents in this region… everything within the entire area was being analyzed by him.
Yet the result remained the sa as before—nothing was found.
Since even after its death they could not detect it, this ant the entity was not rely well-hidden, but “did not exist within the observable range.”
Monts later, Viola finally slowly withdrew her Law domain.
The pale-gray runes flowed back into her body like a tide. Her light-green eyes remained fixed on the empty void ahead, her expression carrying a rare trace of seriousness.
“I can’t find it either,” she said softly.
“As expected, this thing should not be in the sa dinsion as our current world. That’s why conventional thods cannot detect it no matter what.” Jie Ming turned to look at her upon hearing this.
Viola raised her hand, her fingertips gently tracing through the air.
“The reason I could injure it earlier was because it actively generated a pain response after being stimulated by you. Pain belongs to ntal activity, and ntal activity… exists on the sa plane as its form of being.”
She paused. “But once it died and stopped emitting pain reactions, I could no longer perceive it.”
The surroundings fell into silence once more.
In the distance, stellar storms churned. Large streams of high-energy particles dragged blazing light tails through the void.
Fragnts of Divine Armants were captured by gravity, slowly rotating within the sea of light like a silent heavy snowfall.
Jie Ming gazed at those remnants and asked in a low voice, “From what you’re saying… you know what this thing is?”
Viola tilted her head. The familiar dangerous smile reappeared at the corners of her mouth. “I have a guess.”
Jie Ming looked at her with so curiosity. “What is it?”
“Although I’ve never seen the real thing, its characteristics are too distinct: cannot be observed by conventional ans, formless and traceless, capable of directly erasing matter and energy, and only specific Laws can affect it.”
Viola stroked her smooth chin thoughtfully. “This is actually information that only high-level wizards normally know. But since you’ve already encountered it, there’s no harm in telling you early.”
As she spoke, Viola raised three fingers. “Haven’t you always been curious about what kind of enemies the wizards’ main forces are actually facing? In truth, within the Endless Chaotic Void, our wizard civilization has three primary enemies.”
“The Multiracial Alliance.”
“The Sentience Calamity.”
“And… the Reflection Dinsion.”
Her tone noticeably slowed when she uttered the final two words.
Jie Ming narrowed his eyes, realizing that the last one was likely the enemy they had just encountered. “The Reflection Dinsion?”
“Mhm.” Viola nodded gently.
“The one you faced earlier is most likely a being from the Reflection Dinsion.”
She fell silent for a mont, seemingly organizing her words.
Clearly, even for a Sixth-Ring Wizard, the “Reflection Dinsion” was not a topic to be discussed lightly.
“The so-called Reflection Dinsion, as the na implies, is the reflection of the main world. However, what the Reflection Dinsion reflects is not matter… but the mind.” She raised her hand and lightly tapped her fingertip against her temple.
“In the Endless Chaotic Void, every conscious lifeform produces ntal activity at every mont.”
“Hope, despair, imagination, thought, inspiration… once these things appear in the consciousness of living beings, they do not disappear. Like shadows, they are projected into another dinsion.”
“That place is the Reflection Dinsion.”
Jie Ming pondered for a mont. “So this thing itself does not exist within the Endless Chaotic Void?”
Viola tilted her head. “Good question. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the Reflection Dinsion and the main world is like the two sides of a coin. So it should be said… the Reflection Dinsion exists within the Endless Chaotic Void that we cannot perceive.”
Viola spread her hands.
“Because they reside in a different dinsion, the vast majority of thods from the main world are aningless against them. They cannot be seen, touched, or hard.”
She smiled. “The only reason I could identify it is because the Law of Pain happens to step right on their sensitive spot.”
“The fact that the thing was beaten into that state by yet we still cannot find any trace of it… aside from a Reflection Dinsion creature, I can’t think of any other possibility.”
Jie Ming remained silent for several seconds.
Multiracial Alliance.
Sentience Calamity.
Reflection Dinsion.
The three nas slowly arranged themselves within his spiritual sea.
“What about the other two enemies?”
“There’s not much to say about the Multiracial Alliance.” Viola’s tone grew lighter.
“They’re simply civilizations in the Endless Chaotic Void that have been robbed, beaten, threatened by wizard civilization, or are simply afraid of being robbed or beaten in the future, so they banded together for warmth.”
“Essentially, they are still normal civilizations. They can be seen and can be fought through.”
At this point, she suddenly paused.
“As for the Sentience Calamity…”
She frowned slightly. “The intelligence lockdown level for this one is very high. I only know the na. The specific details require at least Eighth-Ring Wizard authority to access.”
Jie Ming nodded, showing no intention of pressing further.
The wizard civilization’s intelligence classification was extrely strict.
If a piece of free information was deliberately withheld, it only ant the matter was truly dangerous.
His thoughts returned to the current plane. Countless clues rapidly assembled in his spiritual sea.
The situation was now clear. This universe-type plane had evidently been ho to another, far more powerful civilization before the Tentacle Tree Civilization was born. And that civilization had encountered an invasion from the Reflection Dinsion.
The Divine Armants were products of that war. The so-called “life force absorption during activation” chanism was never a simple power supply system, but a specialized interference technology targeting Reflection Dinsion beings.
Thinking of this, Jie Ming grew curious again. “So Reflection Dinsion creatures also possess the concept of life force? Absorbing life force can harm them?”
“More accurately… it’s life will.”
Viola corrected him.
“For Reflection Dinsion creatures, what they truly need from life force has never been the energy itself, but the ‘instinct for survival’ contained within it.”
“The so-called life force extraction technology does not affect Reflection Dinsion creatures by extracting life force, but by disturbing the life will within that mass of life force.”
“As the saying goes, excess is just as bad as deficiency. When massive amounts of life will are mixed together…” The corners of her mouth curved up. “To a Reflection Dinsion creature, it’s like soone pouring molten iron into their ears.”
Jie Ming imdiately recalled the abnormal reaction the entity had shown toward his sorcery earlier.
He said in a deep voice, “So the sorcery I created earlier was essentially generating this kind of life will noise.”
“Correct.”
Viola nodded. “That’s why this technique has significant limitations. It can only display its effects when there is a massive amount of life force present.”
Jie Ming nodded. “However, for wizards, once we understand their nature, killing them isn’t actually difficult.”
Viola extended her hand. A wisp of pale-gray Pain Law embers still lingered on her fingertips.
“Yes. What’s truly difficult has never been killing them. It’s finding them.”
“In many cases, only a few Seventh-Ring Wizards who specialize in relevant Laws can locate Reflection Dinsion creatures within the main world.”
After listening, Jie Ming’s expression gradually grew solemn.
He suddenly spoke, “So… I need to call for reinforcents now?”
After all, the core of this plane still contained vast numbers of unchecked stars. Jie Ming did not believe there would only be one such sealed location here. If those Reflection Dinsion creatures were foolish enough to keep attacking him, that would be fine. But if he was unlucky and encountered one that fled directly, it would be disastrous.
Viola blinked, then couldn’t help laughing. “Correct.”
She returned to her usual lighthearted deanor, twirling a strand of her hair around her fingertip.
“But you don’t need to worry about the reward. As you know, Seventh-Ring Wizards have always been very honest when it cos to knowledge.”
“Normally, asking them for help would indeed co at a huge cost. But if you tell them… that there are living Reflection Dinsion creatures here, then it won’t be asking for help anymore.”
She gently spread her hands.
“Believe it or not, once the news spreads, the number of Seventh-Ring Wizards willing to co could line up from Noren 147 Academy all the way outside the plane barrier.”
Jie Ming nodded without objection. After all, he had earned his rewards the sa way back in the Strange plane.
With that thought, Jie Ming directly pulled up the magic network terminal.
After a mont of consideration, his first communication was sent to ntor Clark.
He quickly wrote the situation in the Tentacle Tree Plane into the ssage.
Finally, he added: ntor, if you can end your seclusion early, please co imdiately.
The communication was sent.
Imdiately after, he connected to the private line of the Dean of Noren 147 Academy.
Pale-blue runes flowed across the surface of the crystal terminal.
Monts later, a light screen unfolded in the void.
Within the light screen, a wizard slowly raised his head. It was Avery Knight, the Dean, whom he had not seen in a long ti.
“Jie Ming?”
Dean Avery’s brows furrowed slightly.
“What is it?”
Jie Ming wasted no words and quickly explained his current situation.
As he spoke, Avery’s expression began to change little by little.
First a frown.
Then, those deep brown eyes suddenly lit up.
Even through the light screen, Jie Ming could clearly sense the excitent of Dean Avery Knight.
He slowly rose from his chair. The bookshelves behind him stirred without wind, and nurous tos fluttered their pages slightly under invisible force.
“No problem.”
Dean Avery’s voice remained low and deep, but the excitent in his tone could no longer be suppressed.
“I’ll bring people over right away.”
