Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 501 The Power of Mister
Locke crushed the memory fragment in his hand, and instantly the memory fragment of that second-circle wizard fell into his mind, along with his understanding of magic.

Locke closed his eyes, carefully digested the fragment, then opened them, revealing a hint of surprise. "I'm so lucky. This memory fragment happens to be part of this second-circle wizard's understanding of ultimate magic. Although it's fragmented, just obtaining it is enough to enhance my understanding of magic, saving me several years of accumulation and comprehension."

"No wonder wizards are all pursuing wizarding realms. With a wizarding realm, one can skip countless years of accumulation and learning."

"Wizard's Realm can greatly accelerate the progress and growth of wizards."

"It saves wizards from many of the time-consuming parts, allowing them to focus on the areas that truly require their attention for research and study."

After digesting the memory fragments, Locke learned that the wizard Basil was a wizard skilled in using bloodline poisons. He had developed the magic spider to a new level and researched many bloodline poisons.

He is a master of bloodline toxicology.

The original spiders were artificial magical creatures with a bloodline that leaned towards melee combat. However, after the wizard Basil, the Basil family's style completely changed, and they all became masters of poison.

Although the ancestors of the Six Towers Land included some Third Ring Wizards, their ancestors were far too distant. The Second Ring Wizard, Basil, was the closest to them, as they were essentially descendants of Basil. Therefore, the power structure of the Basil family underwent a significant change after Basil.

"Blood food?" Locke looked at the poison well and walked forward.

He walked for about half an hour, encountering along the way those familiar races hiding in the poison wells, attempting to attack him.

However, before those subordinate races could even react, they would be smashed to pieces by his mushroom hammer.

I collected some fragments of memories along the way.

After obtaining these memory fragments, Locke gained considerable knowledge about second-circle wizards.

Locke discovered that the more powerful the monster in this secret realm, the more powerful the memory fragments he could obtain after killing it.

He soon arrived at a crater area. After entering the crater, Locke realized that there were no familiar races living inside the poison wells on the ground nearby.

Locke frowned slightly and walked to the side of the largest poison well on the other side of the crater. That poison well could no longer be called a well; it was more like a small lake.

“There must be something beneath this lake, otherwise there would be no other poison wells around it without any of their own kind.”

Locke walked along the poisonous lake. He stepped onto a pebble, and at that moment, the lake water suddenly surged and a huge whirlpool appeared in the middle. In the whirlpool, an enormous serpent appeared. There were some strangely colored snake scales on the serpent's forehead. When they combined, they became an eight-legged spider.

After the giant snake appeared, it laughed loudly, and its body actually had the magical pressure level of a wizard who had reached the first stage of liquefaction.

It spewed a large amount of poison gas at Locke. This poison gas was of the same origin as the mysterious bloodline toxin in the air. Although its energy intensity was completely insufficient, it still managed to erode a huge gap in Locke's life force field.

Even the Permanent Defense Field, a defensive magic with super-long endurance, was completely suppressed by this giant venomous snake.

The venomous snake burst into laughter. "What do I see? Hahahaha... It's been so many years, almost ten years since I last ate a person."

"Unexpectedly, I've encountered another wizard who's courting death. I'm going to have a good taste of you. Wizard! Useless. Your permanent defensive field is worthless before my eight-legged death poison."

"I am not as gentle as Lord Basil. The toxins in the air have not been mixed with bloodline regulating factors. My toxins are completely genuine. Unfortunately, your trial ends here."

The venomous snake opened its blood-red maw and bit into Locke's defensive force field.

Locke subconsciously mobilized abyssal energy to strengthen his permanent defensive field, which made the venomous snake feel as if it were biting into an extremely hard eggshell, unable to advance an inch.

The venomous snake sneered. "So hard, so hard."

"But it's okay, I'll just eat you up. In the past, there were also wizards' permanent defensive fields that were quite troublesome."

"I'll just eat you up. My stomach is full of the poison of the Eight-Legged Reaper. No matter how high your magic pressure is or how strong your permanent defensive field is, once I eat you, it's only a matter of time before I digest you." The venomous snake opened its mouth wide, expanding it to at least ten times its original size. It bit directly at Locke's permanent defensive field, preparing to swallow Locke whole.

"Eat, eat!"

Locke frowned, took out the Hydra from his Astral Ring, and simultaneously wrapped chains around his body.

He had already infused the Hydra with magical pressure beforehand, so he could use it for half an hour without much pressure.

At this moment, Locke borrowed the Hydra and merged his three defensive force fields—the Life Force Field, the Decay Force Field, and the Harvest Force Field—into a Natural Force Field. At the same time, he highly compressed the Natural Force Field into an axe. Locke held this axe and with just a slight movement, the arrogant venomous snake screamed in agony. Its scales shattered and fell off piece by piece, and a huge gash appeared on its body.

The venomous snake screamed in agony, writhing in pain in the poisonous lake, causing its venom to splash out like waves.

"You... what did you do? My snake scales are comparable to your wizards' permanent defensive field. How could your axe possibly split my snake scales in one go!"

Locke glanced at the snake's scales. Each scale was engraved with some kind of special rune. Having already mastered a large number of fragments of the wizard Basil's memories, Locke immediately realized that the snake's scales must have been specially treated by the wizard Basil, thus forming scales with defensive power comparable to a permanent defensive force field.

However, the most powerful aspect of the Permanent Defense Field is its endurance and recovery ability.

Therefore, merely having comparable hardness for a short period is not very meaningful.

Locke raised his left hand and swung the giant axe formed from the power of Mister. The venomous snake looked up and saw this scene. Its pupils suddenly shrank, and it tried to shrink into the depths of the poisonous lake, but it was too late. One of its heads was chopped off by Locke's axe, which was formed from the compressed power of Mister.

The snake's head, filled with resentment, spewed poison gas at Locke, attempting to kill him before it died.

However, due to the power of the natural force field, its so-called eight-legged death god poison is completely unable to penetrate.

Five minutes later, the snake died. Its body quickly decomposed into a pile of bones, and inside its skull was a poisonous bead.

Locke waved his hand, and an enormous memory fragment and a poison bead fell into his grasp. "So the Five Poison Beads were inside these powerful subordinate races."

"Although I still don't understand the principle of the unknown toxin wizard's defense, fortunately it seems that it cannot break through the natural force field. After all, both the natural force field and the toxin have the characteristics of the second ring, and the two belong to the same level."

"Moreover, weapons formed from natural force fields seem to possess the characteristic of specifically breaking through defensive magic." Locke frowned as he looked at the axe in his hand, which was formed from highly compressed and condensed Mister's power. "Mrs. Mister's power is extremely strong and domineering."

"I just don't know if she advanced to the second-circle wizard level through some unconventional method."

……

In the distance, a woman with a spider's mark on her forehead and silk glands on her wrists exclaimed in amazement, "That wizard is so powerful! Even the venomous snake Barbar of the crater is no match for him!"

"He killed the guardian so easily. Do you think we can ask him to help our clan escape this cage?"

“Our clan has been the guardians of the graves of the Basil wizards for far too long.”

Another spider woman said, "Don't be silly. Those wizards will kill us as soon as they see us."

"The Guardian needs a year to regenerate. I think we should wait for it to regenerate, and then try to kill it and obtain the poison pearl inside it."

"Unfortunately, only one person can be sent out with five poison beads. Apart from the fact that a poison bead will definitely appear inside the guardian, the probability of a poison bead appearing when killing other poisonous creatures is very low, and it is all random."

“We who are trapped in this cage are truly pathetic. We have never even seen the so-called Basil the Wizard; we have only heard from our ancestors that we are a descendant of the Basil the Wizard…”

"Freedom! When will we have freedom?!"
