Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 142 A Special Hidden Bloodline

Howard quickly turned around, wanting to fly away with his wings, but he froze as soon as he turned around. He saw a crystal palm fire lotus being thrown at him from behind him, to his left, and to his right.

Locke's ominous mandrake vines, using invisibility, had somehow spread out in all four directions around him. Using the principle that magical pressure can be transmitted through magical plants, the vines used magical scorched earth bombs four times at medium to long range.

They surrounded him from five directions.

Of course, all of this is based on Locke's current powerful magic of over 400; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to use Scorched Earth Bomb five times in the same amount of time.

Howard felt a surge of despair. "Damn it, his attack speed is too fast, I didn't have a chance to use any curse magic at all. Is this really a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice? Senior Hussein, this is different from the information you gave me!"

The next moment, five scorched earth bombs exploded around him.

It even formed a certain phenomenon of "lava conduits", where fire element was highly concentrated and drops of magma fell from the sky.

Howard, his body mangled, flew out of the blast radius. "Damn it, he only just became a first-class wizard apprentice, less than half a year ago! Wasn't he just like me, a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice? The difference in magical power and spell library is so huge."

"Run away!"

But the next moment, his left wing was severed by Locke using the leaf blades controlled by the "seeing grass and trees as soldiers" technique.

Howard turned around in mid-air in horror and saw Locke following right behind him. Locke was being lifted into the air like a spider by the reaction force of the magical vines.

At this moment, a look of fear appeared on the face of this terrifying-looking vampire.

The leaf blade in mid-air, under the influence of the paranoid atmosphere, spun lightly and then cut open the vampire's other wing.

Howard didn't even have time to react. He had just started chanting the paralysis spell when Locke grabbed his face and forcefully stopped him from chanting.

The mark of the Orkni ancient bloodline on Locke's left hand began to flash, and his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a small giant in mid-air. He then grabbed the vampire's head and squeezed it hard, just as the vampires had grabbed Pierre's head.

Howard let out cries of pain and terror.

Is this still a battle with the White Wizard?
It's like he's fighting against the upperclassmen from his own academy!
When Locke saw that he still wanted to chant the spell, he simply used his other hand to crush his throat, completely depriving him of the ability to chant.

Then, Locke looked down at him with a cold gaze. "You do have combat experience, but you lack the talent for it."

"You're still not dead? Interesting. I'm going to take you back."

"You're not qualified to kill me."

At this moment, Locke had already transformed into a small giant more than two meters tall in mid-air.

Under the influence of the ancient bloodline of the Orkney Bear, his body seemed to resonate with a certain bloodline that was originally latent in his body.

This resulted in the bloodline ability, which was originally just meant to expand the body and enhance defense, now seemingly increasing Locke's physical strength, transforming him into a muscular giant warrior.

Locke's pupils were now a pair of golden vertical pupils, his gaze filled with ominousness and ruthlessness.

A faint, golden force field appeared around him.

Locke looked at Howard and judged that, at present, neither fire magic nor wood elemental magic could completely kill this so-called vampire baron. Locke placed a little emerald potion on him, and Howard immediately felt immense pain, and the cursed power on his body began to dissipate.

'I see.' Locke pondered. 'While elemental magic cannot kill you, it can harm and weaken you. Furthermore, ultimately, what sustains your immortality is a blood curse, so using a lesser Emerald Potion, which counters curse magic, can kill you.'

"There are still many ways to kill you. I'm afraid you have other weaknesses, so I'll capture you and study you carefully."

Locke landed back on the ground and used iron wire and wild grass to completely seal Howard, who had been severely injured by himself and had drunk a little bit of the minor emerald potion, making him very weak.

The vampire struggled on the ground amidst terrified gazes, but was eventually completely enveloped by the iron wire grass, forming a cocoon-shaped object the size of a person.

Locke looked at Gabby, who was hovering in the air at the edge of the battlefield, observing the situation for him, and said, "Alright, Gabby, I want to thank you this time."

Gabi was also seeing Locke fight at full strength for the first time, and she was somewhat stunned.

The battle just now was so intense, the back-and-forth of offense and defense was so fast that she couldn't keep up and couldn't react at all.

The terrifying scene of Locke unleashing his full power also shocked her understanding.

Gabby thought to himself, 'Is this the magical power of my senior, a first-class wizard apprentice?'

Gabi landed back on the ground, reverting to human form. "Senior Locke, I've really learned a lot by following you this time."

"I should be thanking you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything next time."

She happily accepted the 70 magic stones from Locke's hand, her face immediately lighting up with a smile. "Thank you, senior."

Locke, on the other hand, relinquished his bloodline abilities and returned to his normal form.

At the same time, he looked at the Orkni ancient giant bear bloodline mark on his left hand. 'This ancient bloodline is actually triggering a chain reaction with the unknown bloodline within me.'

'Where did my witch mother come from, and what kind of bloodline did she possess...?'

'This needs to be studied carefully.' A determined glint flashed in Locke's eyes. It seemed that studying archaeology was now an urgent matter.

The hidden bloodline within one's own body forms a unique chain reaction with the bloodline of ancient creatures. And in the southeastern corner region, the most in-depth research on the bloodlines of ancient creatures comes from archaeologists.

Therefore, he really needs to study archaeology to figure out what exactly happened to his body.

There was also that instinctive desire for battle, something that seemed to be hidden deep within his genes.

Perhaps it is also related to this special bloodline.

Locke said to Gabby, "Let's go back and find my two friends."

"I must take this first-class wizard apprentice of the Blood Curse Court back to me immediately and inform my wizarding mentor."
