Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 473 I'm not good at fighting?

Half an hour later, the ninth, eighth and seventh place teams were also eliminated, and their three Soreas Legions were completely wiped out.

Currently, only the sixth, fifth, third, second, and first place rankings remain.

The voting results were also in, and the final audience vote showed that Edgar did not violate the rules.

Yennefer's face turned grim.

For the past half hour, no matter how she attacked, her Mushroom King was unable to pinpoint the location of the mechanical fortress.

Edgar can now use the Tree of Life clones to attack, which is undoubtedly a huge disadvantage for her.

At the same time, the True Sight Crystal reappeared in mid-air. "After discussion, the tournament committee concluded that although Wizard Edgar's actions did not constitute a violation, they still hindered the fairness of the competition."

"Therefore, the tournament committee added a special rule: in this Cloudze Tournament, each participating team can send one wizard into the battlefield to participate in person."

Yennefer's expression softened.

Because if that's the case, then the situation is definitely not too bad.

Although Edgar can use his Force avatar to descend onto the battlefield, she is not too weak because she can also join the battle, which somewhat offsets some of Edgar's advantages.

Of course, Yennefer immediately realized something and looked at Locke.

Of the five remaining teams, only Locke's team lacks a single wizard at the first stage of crystallization, making this new rule completely disadvantageous for them.

Of course, this also benefits Yennefer, as it eliminates a strong contender for the championship.

'Diana...Edgar, they are both formidable opponents. I must think of something, or I'll miss out on the championship.'

Yennefer pondered. 'Based on the past champion records of the Cloudze Cup, my magical plant creation has actually reached champion-level status.'

The problem is that three of the participants this time are breeders who exceed the normal level of the Yunze Cup.

'The problem isn't with me, it's with them. They shouldn't have brought magical plants of this level to participate in the Cloud Swamp Cup.'

The wizard Edgar sneered, glancing at the witch Yennefer. "Since you're so fond of reporting on others, if I'm not mistaken, it's because your ladybug raiders are trying to steal my data, isn't it?"

All eyes immediately turned to Yennefer.

Yennefer smiled, realizing there was nothing left to deny. "So what if it is? So what if it isn't!"

"Edgar, everything depends on results. The past is irrelevant. Whoever can destroy the Vengeance Machine Soul is the champion."

A terrifying magical pressure emanated from Yennefer. "The game of making a living is finally over... I enjoy fighting in person."

"White wizards, you flock of sheltered lambs, do you dare to truly fight me on the battlefield?"

Yennefer curled her lips into a smile. Her white wizard robes, seemingly made of a photosensitive material, immediately turned black upon sensing the undisguised magical pressure emanating from her.

She was wearing a black, fitted wizard's robe.

Edgar the wizard's expression changed. "A black wizard?"

The next moment, the witch Yennefer snapped her fingers, and a mushroom hammer appeared in her hand. Locke recognized it as a petrifying hammerhead mushroom, the same type as his execution hammerhead mushroom. Both required the power of a first-ring wizard to advance and become adults.

The witch Yennefer walked directly out of the town at the forefront of Kalimala, transformed into a black mist, and soared into the sky, flying towards the other side of the sky.

Meanwhile, Diana the Witch and Alaric the Wizard also quickly used their respective abilities to join the war.

The wizard Edgar looked at Locke and said, "Locke, aren't you going?"

"Or are you scared?"

Locke glanced at the wizard Edgar and said, "Edgar, why aren't you leaving either?"

Wizard Edgar pointed to the dome screen. "My avatar is already on the battlefield, so I don't need to get involved myself. Besides, you're the only one among us at the first stage of liquefaction."

"Although the True Knowledge Academy only requires you to reach the liquefaction stage before a certain age to apply, generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to enter the advanced True Knowledge Academy before reaching the crystallization stage."

"After all, there are many competitors."

The wizard Edgar said, "However, since you can create something like Hydra, I'll have to think highly of you. Locke, the current situation is very unfavorable for you, and I want to see how you handle it."

Locke glanced at Wizard Edgar, and behind him appeared the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow. The immense magical pressure transformed into dragon might and was released. In that instant, all the wizards in the entire theater, except for Wizard Edgar, felt their minds being suppressed.

"A disadvantage against me? Edgar, you must have misunderstood something." Locke's eyes flashed with abyssal energy. 1500 abyssal energy plus 7030 magic pressure brought Locke's current magic pressure to 8530. This magic pressure was indeed not yet at the level of a crystallized wizard with 9000+ magic pressure, but after Locke transformed this magic pressure into dragon's might, even a crystallized wizard would feel a sense of dread.

Locke used the Plant Mimicry Technique: Green Dragon. Instantly, magical winds surged from all directions, like flowing water, making a mess of the entire theater. Then, with a loud bang, Locke flew out of the theater, soaring into the sky like a real green dragon, its immense dragon might enveloping the entire battlefield.

'Roar~'

It was as if a true dragon had descended; whether they were wizards, people of Suryas, or people of Mekanis, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts.

All beings with souls are suppressed by the magic of the Mind School: Dragon's Might.

The instant he flew into the air, Locke used the two drops of true blood in his body to activate Berserk twice in succession, squeezing out the mysterious dragon bloodline and the three-eyed tiger cat bloodline within him.

Instantly, his magic pressure rose from 8530 to over 9000. Under the effect of second-stage berserk mode and the squeezing of the magical creature bloodline within his body, Locke's mental power briefly broke through the limit, breaking through the crystallization stage, and his mana was compressed into crystals.

His dragon might grew even stronger, like a real green dragon. Wherever the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow flew, the Mekanis and Suryas people hurriedly avoided it. Locke headed straight for the steel fortress.

On the battlefield, the witch Yennefer, who had just entered the fray, looked up and, in a flash, seemed to see a green dragon appear on the battlefield from the outskirts of Kalimra.

"how is this possible?"

“That’s… the magical pressure of breeder Locke Augustine…”

"Green Dragon?"

She shook her head, only then noticing the magical plant behind Locke that mimicked the wings of a green dragon. "Plant mimicry?"

"He actually has this trick up his sleeve. Oh no! Under his simulated dragon might, he seems like a real dragon, with an incomparably high status. Those Mekani people have a soul-like structure within their bodies; they are the masterpiece of the prosthetics masters."

“Those Mekani people suffer mental pressure when they get close to him, so they subconsciously avoid him. Damn it, he’ll go straight to that steel fortress.”

On the other side of the battlefield, the Witch Diana looked back at the sky above the battlefield, her brows furrowing slightly. "Locke?"

"Green Dragon?"

“This is a magic pressure of over 9000…” A look of admiration flashed across Diana’s face. “To be able to find a way to temporarily increase one’s magic pressure to this level during the liquefaction stage, and to be able to transform magic pressure into dragon’s might, even a crystallized wizard would have their soul suppressed when facing this dragon’s might, and would be unable to exert 30 or 40% of their strength.”

"Locke, I knew I couldn't underestimate you."

"Alright, I will defeat everyone in this competition no matter what." The witch Diana raised her two laurel leaf swords, which were wrapped in the fragrance of laurel blossoms. The combination of the two ice-type magical plants amplified their power.

A full moon appeared behind the witch Diana.

Its power was even greater than Locke's Dragon Might. Diana the Witch also made a move, slashing forward with her sword. Instantly, a huge frost that stretched across the sky and earth pierced through the battlefield, heading straight for the Steel Fortress.

Yennefer, the witch, was utterly startled, thinking that Diana had unleashed some powerful magic. "Is this magic that a first-ring wizard can cast?"

On the other side, the wizard Edgar used his natural avatar to summon a natural storm that enveloped the steel fortress.

In an instant, a storm of natural force, the laurel leaf blade with its strong magical characteristics, and Locke's mental dragon's might enveloped the battlefield, completely dominating the minds of everyone on the battlefield.

As for the other two contestants, Alaric thought it over and decided to give up after seeing this. "Those three are too freakish. I don't have much hope of competing with them. And Yennefer's overall strength is also stronger than mine. At present, it seems that I can only get fifth place."

Alaric grinned. "I was fifth in the qualifiers, and now I'm fifth in the finals, which is expected, so I'm not disappointed."

"This is actually quite good."

Alaric said to Yennefer, who was not far away, "Hey, why don't we just accept the rankings? I'll be fifth, and you'll be fourth. Let those three freaks fight over the top three."

Meanwhile, Yennefer's expression changed repeatedly. She glared angrily at Alaric. "Unambitious and without a future, am I the kind of wizard you are?"

Yennefer jumped onto the head of her Mushroom King. "Mushroom King, let's go. At least I can compete for third or second place. As long as I can get into the top three, I will have a chance to enter the Academy of Truth. Even if I don't have a chance to get first place, I should at least make it into the top three and then second."

"Those three freaks shouldn't have participated in this level of competition. We need to think of another way."

At this moment, Locke fanned the Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow, and with his Green Dragon rank, he forcefully suppressed the Mekanis and caught up with the rapidly moving Steel Fortress without much effort.

At the same time, Diana's two Ice Moon Blossoms also came down, cutting two gaps in the steel fortress.

The witch Diana shouted, "You'd better get out of the way, Locke, or you'll be caught in the crossfire when I attack the Iron Fortress."

Locke looked at the Ice Fang that was suspended in mid-air, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned one end of the Hydra that was being controlled and powered by eight Suryas on the battlefield. A chain immediately locked onto his right hand, and in an instant, nine layers of permanent defensive force field enveloped his body.
