Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 313 Holy Magic: The Seal of the Holy Sword of Crosslight

After Locke killed the Brittany witch, above Lilith's Hut, standing on the blood stake before the Dark Gate, among the many dark wizards, one of the eighteen dark wizards from the Ghost Holy Church, the torchbearer responsible for preserving the Soul Torch, suddenly spoke: "Brittany is dead."

"Master, the infant spirit witch Brittany is dead. The soul fire within her torch has vanished; she must have been attacked by an excessively powerful force in an instant to die."

The Firelinker did some mental calculations. "Logically, the opponent would need at least 6000 magic pressure to do this, which means the opponent would need to be a wizard whose mental energy is liquefied."

"Moreover, this is only a possibility. Our Ghostly Holy Church wizards have incredibly strong survival abilities, and under normal circumstances, they cannot be killed. But this time, the Brittany witch did not escape."

Leader Stephania looked rather unwell. Although Brittany was just an ordinary official wizard in their Ghostly Holy Church, she was still considered a veteran member, and yet she died here.

This is a significant blow to the Ghostly Holy Church.

The Infant Spirit Witch and the Ice Soul Witch, this pair of sister witches, are quite famous in their Ghostly Holy Cult.

With their alliance broken, Leader Stephania felt that their Ghostly Holy Cult had suffered a great loss this time.

So far, they haven't gained much.

Leader Stephania's face was grim. "Who killed her?"

The torchbearer whispered a spell, and a magical torch appeared in his hand. A ring of enchanted items can be called a magical artifact, and the Soul Torch is such a magical artifact.

The torchbearer lightly touched the flame burning on the torch, and then a pale, soulful flame appeared at his fingertips, within which the image of a person emerged.

It is the image of Locke Augustine.

Stanley, the wizard who had returned from the Blood Curse Court, exclaimed upon seeing the figure, "It's the Bewitching Wizard, Locke Augustine, the one who just advanced in rank."

"By the way, his spiritual energy has already vaporized. I don't know how he did it."

The Blood Lord glanced at him. "Mental energy transformation? He just became a formal wizard, how could he possibly transform his mental energy?"

"This wizard is no ordinary person."

Leader Stephania frowned and glanced at Stanley, who looked like a stray dog. "Even so, a first-level wizard who is merely a manifestation of spiritual energy cannot possibly kill Brittany."

"Although Brittany's talent is average and she has taken the wrong path, the wizards of my Ghostly Holy Church have their souls protected by the Soul Torch, making them difficult to die from."

"Moreover, ghost magic has many life-saving abilities."

Chief Priestess Stephania still couldn't understand what had happened, a flash of anger crossing her eyes. "Give me the soul aura of the man who killed Brittany."

"I need to make a note of this."

"And what do we do now? The enemy has already activated their life field. Should we retreat?"

The morale of the Black Wizard Alliance is now low.

Lilith's Hut has activated a large life field, preventing their magic and undead forces from being projected onto it.

Because part of the life force field's properties is an anti-negative energy field, the numerical advantage of the undead sea is meaningless in the face of the life force field.

No matter how many undead hordes surge forth, they will be utterly destroyed in an instant by the life force field.

Everyone looked at the commander of this operation, the leader sent by the Black Wizard Alliance, the wizard Hammerk.

Wizard Hammerk said, "Yes, everyone, don't panic. We've already anticipated this situation."

“I anticipated this from the very beginning. Of course, as I expected, the Blood Curse Tribunal should have caused more damage to Lilith's Hut. At the very least, we could have taken over their potion resource storage warehouse and obtained a large amount of Sacrifice Potions.” Wizard Hammerk glanced at the Blood Curse Tribunal members. At this moment, whether it was the Blood Lord or the others, they all felt their faces turn red with embarrassment.

But unlike before, the wizard Hammerk no longer upholds the reputation of the Blood Curse Court.

With the Bride's Blood Curse broken, the Blood Curse Court has lost both face and substance.

Dark wizards are very pragmatic; whoever has the bigger fist speaks the loudest.

Hammerk said, "The reason our undead forces from the Relic Court didn't join the destruction of Lilith's Hut before was because they took the opportunity to carve a large summoning circle on the ground of Lilith's Hut city."

At this moment, nine magic circle patterns the size of basketball courts appeared on the ground of Lilith's Hut port city. One magic circle after another shot into the sky and transformed into nine pillars of light.

These beams of light transformed into nine pivots in mid-air, outlining an inverted pentagram pattern. Then, a gigantic body without limbs or a head appeared above Lilith's cabin.

Strange magical runes were visible on the limbs of this giant's body.

The wizard Hammerk said, "This is the true killing move that our Court of Corpses has prepared for this war: the Holy Flesh Punishment."

"As you all know, our Royal Academy is a comprehensive black wizarding university, but our greatest strengths lie in two major categories of magic. The first category is bone magic, a sub-direction of the Necromancy school; the second category is prosthetic body synthesis magic, a sub-direction of the Necromancy school."

"Our Skeleton Court..." Wizard Hammerk curled the corners of his skeletal lips, a dangerous glint in his eyes, "One of our biggest goals is to use necromancy to create a flawless prosthetic body."

"The sacred flesh is a byproduct of this process."

"That is the result of the painstaking efforts of countless wizards in our Imperial Relic Court," said Wizard Hammerk. "Therefore, whatever the outcome of the previous battles is not important; setting up the magic circle to summon the holy flesh is the most important thing."

A humiliating glint flashed in the Blood Lord's eyes. Hammerk meant that the curses their Blood Curse Court had previously unleashed were irrelevant; what mattered most was providing cover for their true plan for the Corpse Control Court.

At this moment, countless torrents of negative energy emerged from the broken limbs of the strange, synthetic life form in the city, attacking the life force field of Lilith's cabin.

In just a moment, the life force field was shattered.

The entire city was shrouded in countless negative energy bombardments, like meteors, while the sacred flesh activated its negative energy attraction, drawing in the surrounding negative energy before launching another attack.

Francis, the advisor, was somewhat incredulous within the astrological system. He asked, "An attack of that level doesn't require a pause?"

The old witch of Forbes said, "What can the Mummy Court produce? They have been pursuing synthetic life forms that can withstand more powerful negative energy, and that should be one of their achievements."

"However, it's not a big problem anymore. The scale of the dark wizards' attack this time did exceed our expectations, almost causing us to collapse... but Locke successfully bought us time. So..."

Inside the alchemy hut, the old witch Forbes grinned. "Dark wizards, you underestimate us white wizards."

"War is never about who is stronger, but about the methods. That's the most cost-effective way to fight!"

"Do it!"

The next moment, a giant wooden spear descended from the sky, pinning the Holy Flesh Punishment to the ground.

At the same time, beams of light, each bearing a cross, appeared above the heads of the dark wizards, locking onto the wooden stakes and the Dark Gate, sealing off the space and enveloping them.

Wizard Hammerk's expression changed drastically. "This is from the University of Verdandia... a first-circle Holy Magic of the Holy School, a Holy Magic—[Seal of the Holy Sword of the Cross]."

"When was this set up? Oh no, we were so focused on fighting the wizards at Lilith's Hut that we didn't pay attention to our surroundings."

"Could this be... a trap?"
