Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 710 At this moment, there are only two things I don't understand!

Locke stepped out of the realm of magic and ran into the Emperor, Wizard Smith, and Wizard Edgar.

At this point, the three had already stopped fighting and made peace, sharing a common hatred for the enemy.

The three exchanged glances, all feeling immense pressure, because at this moment, Locke possessed the most powerful total magical pressure in the world.

His advantage is even greater than that of the emperor at the very beginning of the game.

Moreover, it's much bigger.

If the three of them cannot join forces at this point, then they are truly beyond fighting.

But even if they join forces, they might not be a match for Locke.

Locke looked at the three who had joined forces with a smile and said directly, "Are the three of you determined to unite? Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"While I can't give you first place, I can decide who's second, who's third, and who's last."

"I can decide when you will be eliminated by me."

"Are you sure you want to join forces with a rabble instead of with me, the strongest?"

Locke's words were like a bolt from the blue, putting this newly formed alliance in grave danger.

The emperor's gaze was resolute, his eyes seemingly spitting out fury. He stood still, with tens of thousands of inspectors behind him.

Everyone in the alliance has a way out, but he has no way out.

When Edgar the Wizard heard Locke's words, he didn't even think about it; he didn't consider it at all because his goal was to win the championship.

What is the second thing?

In his eyes, second place was meaningless.

If you can be number one, then be number one.

But after hearing Locke's words, Wizard Smith immediately wavered.

Wizard Smith was wavering; he was almost convinced by Locke. But then he suddenly remembered the backup plan Medea had given him, and he felt much more at ease.

"While second place is acceptable to me, I'm not completely desperate yet. I still have two backup plans, and I think Edgar will too. I wonder if that native emperor has any backup plans."

Wizard Smith pondered, 'So, I can still take a gamble. If I listen to Locke, he'll probably immediately make me transfer my immense magic into his magical realm, placing me under his control.'

'I've completely lost hope of turning things around. And, there's a problem.'

'Georgina the Witch's Fate Weaving Machine - Ultimate Magic is more important to him than my Ultimate Magic - Meteor from Outer Space.'

'Even his magical realm shares some similarities with Edgar's immense magic,' Wizard Smith pondered. 'If I were to surrender now, not only would I lose face before all the wizards of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.'

The key issue is that I might not get a good outcome.

'Don't let things get to the point where I'm really at the bottom. So, I can't surrender now; I need to hold my ground a little longer and observe the situation. If things don't look good, I'll demonstrate my worth to Locke and make him accept my surrender.'

Wizard Smith pondered, "Moreover, right now Locke only has a large total magic pressure. The key is how the ultimate spell is constructed; nobody knows. While the total magic pressure is important, what truly determines the strength is the construction of the ultimate spell. His magic pressure is only at the level of 16000, which is just three ultimate spell runes."

"But he's only just become a second-circle spellcaster, how many suitable second-circle spell models does he have at his disposal? He can't fully unleash the power of 16,000 mana pressure. And if his moon construction isn't up to par, the three of us combined might be able to defeat him."

Wizard Smith thought to himself, 'So now is not the best time to surrender.'

Although Locke's words failed to divide them, they had already cast a shadow over the three of them.

Wizard Smith was wavering and decided to wait for a better price.

The Emperor was already looking at Smith and Edgar with suspicion. In his eyes, these people were all from the Great World of the Other Shore, and there was a high possibility that they had switched sides and joined forces.

Anyway, based on what he had seen and heard, that wizard Smith had already switched sides countless times.

Even the emperor doesn't know which side this Wizard Smith is on.

Edgar, however, paid no attention to Smith and the Emperor.

Edgar spoke up, "No need to say more. We're all here to compete. We don't have cowards on the field who only want second place and not first."

"No one would come to the Silent Grail War, in front of so many high-ring wizards and the entire Cloud Marsh Wetlands, just to get a mere second place. Locke, I ask you, what did you do to the witch Georgina?"

Wizard Smith also wanted to ask.

Ever since Locke summoned a world-class law realm in this world, the map of this world has doubled in size.

But after Georgina the Witch entered that magical realm, they could no longer sense each other's magical pressure.

The Dharma realm and the present world are, after all, two different worlds.

Therefore, both of them had doubts about this.

Locke laughed and said, "Georgina is doing well in the Dharma Realm. If you two want to know about her, you can go in and see for yourselves."

A portal to the Dharma realm unfolded behind Locke. Once the two of them entered it, they could immediately leave the mortal world and enter the Dharma realm.

Wizard Smith sneered, "Who doesn't know that's your territory? If we go in, do you think we'll survive?"

Locke explained, “This Dharma Realm is public. Just like the real world, it belongs to everyone. The amount of land you occupy inside determines how much of that land is yours. I occupy a large portion of the land inside, so that Dharma Realm can be called Locke’s Dharma Realm.”

“If you go in and occupy the territory, you can also occupy a part of the Dharma realm.”

Locke generously spread out his right hand, indicating that they could go in. "You can go in and try."

Wizard Smith looked at Locke warily. 'If it were me, I would have already made that special world my own. It would surely be a trap set up inside, ready to capture any enemy who enters.'

"Locke has been trying to get us to go in; there must be something fishy going on inside. I won't go in unless absolutely necessary."

The emperor then looked at Locke and said, "You went through all the trouble of creating such a vast Dharma realm, and you're telling me you're going to make it public? Do you think the three of us are three-year-olds?!"

Locke said, "Why not?"

"The right thing only works when it's in the right hands. Even if you compete against each other, you'll only lose to me."

Why shouldn't I make it publicly available?

Edgar looked at Locke and said, "Enough with the nonsense. I'm not interested in your Dharma Realm. Because I have one too, and I think mine is better." The wizard Edgar chanted a spell, and instantly the Time-Shadow Fern, a thousand meters tall, appeared behind him. At the same time, the Land of All Spirits descended and merged with the present world.

Instantly, a ghostly aura filled the air, and countless magical vines stretched out from the Land of All Spirits, attacking Locke.

[Netherworld Armor Vine], [Soul-Eating Vine], [Wailing Thorns], [Soul-Slaying Creeping Vine], [Humic Entangling Vine]...

However, before these magical plants, whether they were apprentice-level or first-ring magical plants, could get close to Locke, Locke's Moon of Evolution shone upon them.

In an instant, the veins of these magical plants and their flower buds were illuminated by a blue-silver gradient of magical light.

The magical plants that receive the radiance of the Evolution Moon are essentially integrated into the ecosystem of the Evolution Moon.

Therefore, Locke can, in turn, control these magical plants.

The wizard Edgar laughed heartily, manipulating his immense magic, "Is that all? These magic vines are the guardians of the Land of All Spirits. Even though they have joined your ecosystem, they will still guard the Land of All Spirits."

"Your ultimate magic isn't the type of magic that forces control; that's not your style. So, it's useless."

Locke smiled. "I just want to observe, because there are only two things left in this world that I don't understand."

"First, why haven't you summoned your assistants yet?"

"Second, why is the world destined to end?"

The next moment, Locke's Evolution Moon mixed the spirituality of Tyrant Element No. 2 into the moonlight and shone it on these magical vines. These magical vines immediately became Tyrant-like, and because they did not have the cell complex of the Clear Sky Birch, these magical vines were all poisoned by Tyrant Element No. 2.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of magical vines died.

I had already placed the three potions—No. 2 Overlord Elixir, Abyss Elixir, and Zero Elixir—into the Moon of Evolution long ago.

Essentially, the core energy of the Moon of Evolution's magic is singular: the [Connection] ability, which serves as the Moon Mirror.

One can connect the spirituality of one thing with the spirituality of another magical plant, that is, to bestow something upon a magical plant with moonlight.

At this moment, he bestowed the No. 2 Overlord Essence upon the demonic vines in Edgar's Land of All Spirits, and as a result, those demonic vines began to die violently in a very short time.

After their sudden death, these plant spirits returned to the Land of All Spirits with Tyrant Element No. 2. As a result, Tyrant Element No. 2 polluted the Land of All Spirits, causing a large number of plant spirits and magical plants within the Land of All Spirits to die suddenly.

Edgar the wizard's expression changed slightly.

He had known for a long time that Locke was so powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have joined forces with his competitors.

Within the Land of All Spirits, the most powerful guardian of the Land of All Spirits and the most powerful ecological community, the [Eight Buddha Claw Vine], is a second-ring demonic plant.

It is enormous in size.

Lying quietly in Edgar the Wizard's Land of All Spirits, it is a magical plant spirit that Edgar the Wizard summoned from the Emerald Dream and planted during a rare moment of leisure after entering this world.

The Land of All Spirits gradually confuses the spirits of the magical plants with the magical plants themselves.

The Eight Buddha Claws vines resemble an ancient giant serpent, stretching across the land of all spirits. At the same time, the Eight Buddha Claws have eight massive main vines, each of which is like a giant serpent hidden in the land of all spirits.

Wizard Smith had no idea that Wizard Edgar had been hiding this secret all along.

The Eight Buddha Claw Vine is a relatively powerful magical plant in the second ring, and it is said to only appear at the boundary between life and death.

Its main core ability is to absorb life force and transform it into seven applications. For example, it can transform the absorbed life force into high-intensity magical pressure on the surface of its magical plant, forming Vajra vines.

For example, one can transform life force into the power to heal oneself, or transfer the life force absorbed to others, or use it to give to plant spirits to revive a certain plant, and so on.

In short, the Eight Buddha Claw Vine is an extremely powerful second-level magical plant.

The magical plant stretched out eight main branches toward Locke, but the moonlight emitted by Locke's passive Evolution Moon shone on the plant and was completely ignored.

The passive moonlight of the Evolution Moon is insufficient to directly control and pull a second-ring magic plant into its own ecological community.

The No. 2 Overlord Element sent by the passive moonlight of the Evolution Moon was not enough to infuse the Eight Buddha Claw Hand vines with Overlord Toxin.

Locke said, "The biggest difference between us is the total amount of magic pressure."

At this moment, the full moon behind Locke gradually rotated, and then the moon peach on the full moon transformed into a large bow, and a beam of moonlight fell towards the Eight Buddha Claw Hand vines.

In an instant, the entire body of the Eight Buddha Claw Vine was bathed in a blue-silver gradient magical light, and Locke pulled the Eight Buddha Claw Vine into its own ecological community!
The inherent characteristics of the lunar plane, the Dark Side of the Moon, combined with magical plants, can create Moon Plants, which in turn combine the Peach Arch Thorn Arrow with the spell model of the Evolving Moon.

In this way, the Evolution Moon effectively has two modes.

The positive side of the moon is passive moonlight, which is gentle and does not forcibly control or evolve magical plants.

The dark side of the moon actively uses immense magic, with moonlight like cannons, employing Peach Arch Thorn Arrows to gather and shoot out a large amount of moonlight. Once it hits, even a second-ring magical plant will be affected and controlled by its immense magic.

Of course, for an ordinary second-level cultivator, using a powerful spell once is basically equivalent to depleting their total mana pressure.

The same applies to Locke, because his ultimate magic is still in the initial forging stage, not the second forging stage (star ring), and he cannot freely control the amount within it.

Therefore, it's impossible to release just the right amount each time, resulting in an overdose.

But at this moment, the Moon of Evolution shines throughout the Dharma Realm, and in just one breath, it fully restores the magical pressure that had been depleted by using great magic.

The Eight Buddha Claw Hand vines, due to the Moon Cannon attack earlier, contained too much No. 2 Overlord Element, and began to produce Overlord Toxin, constantly struggling in place, causing the entire Land of Ten Thousand Spirits to begin to collapse.

At the same time, Wizard Smith suddenly attacked him, directly using one of his two trump cards. A huge meteorite was thrown down from the demiplane cluster of the meteors, with a beetle the size of a small mountain crawling on it.

That was an Astral Worm, one of the second-level Astral creatures called the Astral Beast, summoned from the Astral Plane by a meteor from outer space!
Because the main structure of the massive magic, Celestial Meteor, that Wizard Smith constructed during this Silent Grail War was based on the constellation of the Insectoid, it could summon many insectoid astral behemoths from the astral plane.

He could enhance this projection effect by using the starlight projection that he had previously added with massive magic runes.

Furthermore, the main point of extraterrestrial meteors is not to drop meteorites from the sky, but to summon astral beasts from the astral plane and send them into a world using meteorites.

Locke, however, was not surprised to see this. "Smith, you've finally used it. This is the moment I've been waiting for."

Wizard Smith looked surprised.

Locke had already deduced whether his ultimate magic possessed this ability.
How could he tell?

If he figured it out, then didn't he have a plan in place?
Has he fallen into a trap again?

For a moment, Wizard Smith was in a state of utter confusion, his eyes glazed over, and he became as timid as a mouse.
