Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 310 Strange Ring-Shaped Creatures
Locke looked at the strange blue ring and blue light. He saw that at this moment, the blue ring completely ignored his permanent defensive force field and shone on his body in a particularly strange way.

But soon, Locke frowned, because he realized that this strange blue light had actually penetrated his physical body and was shining towards the core of his soul.

The power of this curse seemed to originate from something extraordinary, existing only in the form of magic. However, at the last moment, whether it was suppressed by the restored earth or because Locke's soul surface had a life force field barrier at the core of a permanent defensive force field, the blue light was blocked on Locke's soul surface.

The being behind the Ghost Bride seems extremely unwilling. It is about to descend, just a little short of being truly born into this world, using the magic of that first-ring crystallization wizard.

But at this moment, Locke manipulated the ecosystem and created a counterattack with a torrent of life energy, causing his plan to completely fail.

Even at this final moment, it attempted to attack the wizard's soul, but the wizard's soul, protected by a perpetual defensive field, was exceptionally resilient.

Therefore, a first-ring wizard is extremely difficult to kill because of this permanent defensive field. Even without a physical body, only the soul can exist independently for a long time.

To kill a formal wizard with a permanent defensive field, you must kill him at least twice: first by destroying his physical body, and second by destroying his soul, which possesses that permanent defensive field.

If one is proficient in necromancy or is a formal wizard who has learned special magic, one can usually separate a part of one's consciousness from one's soul, just like Dean Levi, the first-ring crystallization wizard mentioned earlier.

Of course, this requires a first-level crystallization wizard to do.

The requirement for using the Ghostly Shadow Charm is that the user must be a formal wizard whose mental energy has crystallized.

Locke placed his palm back on the core crystal ball, and instantly, projections of magical runes appeared in mid-air. Locke chanted an incantation, and the plant magic runes and Ogan tree runes began to change their combination order to adapt to the current ecological environment.

A scream emanated from the eerie blue halo, as if some force was trying to crawl out from it. "Stop!"

The next moment, an invisible life force field, centered on the crystal ball in Locke's hand, swept out in all directions, broke through the underground defenses, and attacked the entire port city of Lilith's Hut.

In that instant, the immense ecological energy, guided by Locke himself transforming into a forest ecosystem, combined to form an incredibly powerful force field, far exceeding the life force field possessed by an individual wizard.

Countless skeletons, ghosts, ghouls, and vampires on this land felt an invisible anti-negative energy field sweeping towards them at an incredibly fast speed in an instant.

This was a huge disaster for undead creatures.

Many undead, such as ghosts, skeletons, and ghouls, that were near Locke and his group vanished the moment their bodies touched the invisible force field.

Some slightly stronger undead are trying to race against the expanding life force field, turning around and running or flying away in an attempt to escape.

However, the vast majority of them were unable to escape in time and were purified and vanished the moment Locke deployed his life force field.

Before Locke, the ring-shaped creature emitting an eerie blue light let out a scream as its light grew dimmer and dimmer.

"Once I appear, I will not disappear."

“Wizard, I have remembered your soul aura.”

The ring-shaped creature, emitting an eerie blue light, grew dimmer and dimmer until it vanished completely. All the cursed spirits and ghost brides on this land disappeared in an instant, the entire cursed land was completely reversed, and the ecosystem regained most of its vitality. The undead army that was originally going to destroy the forest was also prevented from doing so because Locke timely deployed a massive life force field, blowing them away.

Locke, who was controlling all of this, let out a slight breath. As a newly promoted first-ring botanical wizard, it was a real test to preside over such a large-scale ecological transformation project.

Fortunately, by using the potion master's way of understanding the process of healing this land, I actually managed to solve the problem by accident.

This is the benefit of having interdisciplinary thinking.

Within the Nibelungen Astrological System, congratulations and praises rang out from the eight official wizards of Lilith Hut besides himself. Senior Advisor Francis still tried to take the opportunity to invite him, promising him various benefits, hoping that he would stay and develop Lilith Hut.

Francis, the senior advisor, said, "Locke, I didn't expect it to actually succeed. It's rare for a botanical wizard to be able to successfully oversee such a large-scale ecological transformation so soon after advancing to the first level."

"At the first level of botanical knowledge, the focus can no longer be solely on magical plants, but must extend to ecology, observing ecosystems of different scales and levels, in order to better develop one's botanical magic."

Wizard Francis promised, "Locke, as long as you stay at our Lilith Hut as a teacher, I will gradually hand over the ecological management of Lilith Hut to you so that you can make full use of your talents."

"It's good for you to stay at Lilith Hut and develop your career. Don't be fooled by the magical resources in some places; there's a lot of competition there. And in some areas, teaching positions aren't even permanent. They're five-year contracts. If you don't produce enough articles, or if you don't lead enough projects, your contract will be terminated."

Advisor Francis seemed to be very considerate of Locke. "It's really too difficult for someone your age to go to such a big place. Why don't you develop in our Lilith Hut for thirty years first, and then consider whether to go to a better platform after you've matured? That wouldn't be bad either."

Advisor Francis felt that history was somewhat cyclical. As he spoke, he recalled that more than a year ago, he had also advised... the Sophia Witch in the same way.

Old Forbes Witch interrupted Francis's long-winded speech. "Alright, Francis, put away your little schemes. Locke is an outstanding wizard who graduated from our academy; isn't that enough?"

“It is our honor to have outstanding students.”

"Don't twist the students' thoughts at will, and I'm afraid Harun Vera will hold you accountable. Locke, you have successfully deployed the life field, and most of the dark wizard apprentices and undead creatures have been cleared from the city."

"You did a great job. You bought us time."

The old Forbes witch said, "It's truly remarkable that you thwarted the Dark Wizards' Alliance's plot."

Locke shook his head slightly; he knew his own limitations. "I only borrowed the academy's large-scale defensive equipment and received help from my colleagues. How could I possibly break this curse on my own?"

The old Forbes witch's voice came into Locke's ears. "You solved this yourself. Some people, even if you give them resources, will only make things worse, so there's no need to be modest."

"Just be careful. I don't think those dark wizards will give up so easily. They've mobilized a large force, and if they suffer a crushing defeat, their own power structures will collapse."

Old Forbes Witch said, "The logic of dark wizards is different from that of us white wizards. We only need to calculate gains and losses and weigh economic losses. We can bear failure. But dark wizards cannot. If they mobilize so much troops but cannot obtain further spoils, the dark wizards will rebel on their own."

Suddenly, the witch Gabriel warned, "Locke, be careful, two ordinary formal wizards are attacking."
