Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 745 The Food Chain Laws of the Dragon Mountains!

Locke's dragon eyes widened!

Go against Tiangang!

The creditor dared to kill the wizard who lent him money!

Where is justice?

At this moment, he continued to fly backward. The dragons of the planes hanging upside down in the sky lowered their dragon eyes, looking extremely indifferent, and it was unknown what they were observing.

'There's no other way; I'll have to force my way into the sky and shake off Leader Celt.'

Locke pondered, 'There are flocks of dragons in the sky; if I could fly into their ranks, perhaps I could shake him off.'

Locke flapped his dragon wings, about to fly up, when suddenly a gust of black wind burst out from his dragon wings. Then, at least half of his body was being blown by a gust of black wind.

His skin, dragon flesh, dragon scales, and dragon bones were all blown apart by the black wind blowing from inside his body.

"what……"

Locke screamed and let out a dragon roar. The phantom formed from the essence of the demonic dragon bloodline behind him was only half a dragon, with the rest of its parts missing.

After Mu Rilong's bloodline was burned, the phantom of the demonic dragon gradually returned to its original form, which meant that the power of the bloodline was gradually being replenished.

The broken road is now revealing the path that should have appeared ahead.

Even so, the bloodline of this three-headed demonic dragon is still incomplete, consisting of only half of it.

At this moment, under the blowing of the black wind, half of the dragon's body returned to nothingness and was scattered by the black wind.

His current appearance was quite similar to the phantom of the demonic dragon behind him.

The Celtic leader was stunned, because his vetiver sword was about to pierce Locke's dragon heart, but at that moment, half of the dragon's body was suddenly blown away by the black wind, and it was exactly the left half.

The dragon's heart is on the left side.

The dragon's body was blown apart in an instant, and the dragon's heart floated directly in mid-air on Locke's left side.

The black wind blew directly towards the Celtic leader.

Faced with the black wind, the Celtic leader automatically activated the [Water Cloud Barrier], but the outer edge of the Water Cloud Barrier was directly blown away by the black wind.

Then, the black wind, like countless tiny blades that could penetrate anywhere, began to drill into his limbs and flesh.

"what!"

The Celtic team leader also screamed in agony.

The Celtic team leader was dumbfounded.

'what happened? ’

'Why are there so many pits on this dragon's body waiting for me to step on?'

The black wind was extremely terrifying, instantly destroying the Celtic wizard's body to a great extent. However, magical patterns resembling a water-cloud barrier appeared on his skin, protecting his body from collapsing instantly like Locke's dragon body.

At this moment, the Celtic leader's face was covered with a shell made of a mixture of water and cloud barrier spell models and spell patterns, but this shell was covered with cracks, behind which was his body.

'If it weren't for the Demonic Suppression Shell, I would have been blown away by that wind in an instant. No, that wind also has a powerful destructive effect on the soul; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to leave my Demonic Suppression Shell covered in cracks.'

Dark purple magical pressure leaked out from the cracks in the magical pressure shell on the Celtic leader's body and seeped into the air.

For a moment, the Celtic team leader sensed a life-or-death crisis.

Because the wind wasn't playing a joke on him; after blowing cracks into the surface of his magic pressure shell, it was still penetrating into those cracks!

We must penetrate his body and his soul, and utterly destroy his entire being.

The Celtic leader froze in terror. 'Could it be that the dragon is trying to take me down with it, and that's why it used this attack?'

'How can a human body compare to the hardness of a dragon's? Without the protection of the demonic pressure shell, my body would be destroyed much faster than that dragon's body.'

At this moment, Locke was also in a very bad situation. He fell from the sky and barely managed to stand on the ground.

Half of his body was destroyed in an instant.

If it weren't for the fact that this life is free, this would be the most dangerous moment for me in the wizarding world.

He was just one step away from death.

It's only thanks to the dragon's powerful vitality that it's barely surviving, but even now, it won't last much longer.

Because the strange black wind that inexplicably emerged from the pores on the surface of his skin was still emerging from his skin and blowing towards his dragon pearl, dragon soul, dragon bones, dragon blood, dragon flesh, dragon spirit, and dragon magic, trying to blow away all seven treasures of the dragon.

In other words, there is no trace of their remains.

Locke instantly realized something was wrong, and he immediately used meditation techniques to introspect and search for the origin of the black wind.

He searched his entire body, but could not find the source of the black wind.

The entire black wind seemed to originate from within his own body.

But in the end, Locke discovered through meditation and introspection that the black wind had actually appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Within his own sea of ​​consciousness, besides the spell model—the self-consciousness galaxy—a wind tunnel also appeared.

The wind tunnel was located beneath his own spell model—the Self-Awareness Galaxy—and a black wind erupted from it. This black wind not only blew away the Seven Treasures of the Dragon on his body, but also blew towards his spell model galaxy map.

If they succeed, even if I survive, all my magic levels will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

We have to start from scratch.

Start over as a first-class wizard apprentice!
Because in this star map, everything else is fine, but Jupiter, which represents the permanent defensive force field, and the extremely powerful magic at the location of the meteorite cluster, respectively represent the first and second ring levels of their respective abilities.

Once blown away, he would only have about the magical power of a first-class wizard apprentice at its peak.

The black wind was constantly impacting the galaxy map within his sea of ​​consciousness; it possessed the characteristics of being all-pervasive, all-inherent, and capable of blowing away everything.

Therefore, it is indeed possible to blow away one's own galaxy map.

'This is an attack targeting the sea of ​​consciousness,' Locke thought.

"This is... a shackle, a bloodline shackle, a demonic dragon shackle."

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the remaining half of the dragon's bloodline bore a peach-blossom thorn arrow on its forehead—the very arrow that the witch Catherine had lent to Locke.

Back then, after receiving the inheritance of the Holy Dragon, there was a situation where the incomplete Demon Dragon self-destructed when he was breaking through the first stage of the Demon Dragon bloodline.

It was his own teacher who shot an arrow of change into his dragon bloodline, which stopped the dragon bloodline within him from committing suicide.

At that moment, the arrow began to loosen.

The dragon's eyes flickered, as if it wanted to break free, yet also wanted to commit suicide again.

However, the divine dragon's power appeared on that jujube-shaped arrow, penetrating deep into the demonic dragon's forehead and suppressing its thoughts of self-destruction.

Locke said gravely, "I should have thought of that sooner."

'When the Demonic Dragon bloodline completed its first stage of cultivation, it exhibited a self-destructive tendency. At the time, I thought it was a characteristic of this bloodline—the Demonic Dragon race, which doesn't tolerate imperfection.'

"But looking back now, that was actually wrong. The black wind blowing from within me is a forbidden seal. It fundamentally prevents wild dragons, or any other being, from tracing back to the true, complete dragon bloodline!"

'This is not allowed; no one can become a true dragon.' No, this idea is wrong. It's not allowed for anyone to regain the dragon bloodline through bloodline tracing and independent evolution. Yet, they've gone to such lengths, setting traps where imperfect dragon bloodlines self-destruct at the first stage of advancement, and where dragon bloodlines unleash eerie black winds at the second stage of advancement.

'So, what's the point of such strict defense?'

Locke looked solemnly at the wind tunnel that had appeared within his soul. He knew that if he couldn't get through this hurdle, he would really have to start all over again.

Although I am only 23 years old, almost 24, and still young, starting over would still be very damaging to me.

Especially now, he is in the midst of the most intense commercial competition with the Wizarding Alliance, including Solas the Lightfoot.

Locke looked into the wind tunnel in his mind's eye and tried to construct a spell model to stop the wind blowing out of the wind tunnel.

But all of them were ineffective.

How to do?
At this moment, on the Dragon Mountains, the magic of the two third-ring wizards was still bombarding everyone, and the apocalyptic magical pressure was pressing down on everyone's heads.

The witch Catherine glanced at Mu Rilong with a slight look of surprise in her eyes, then looked at the Rose Witch expressionlessly.

The Rose Witch, however, wore a half-smile.

"How pitiful that dragon is. You see, it can't even see its own existence, whether it's a human or a dragon. If a person doesn't even know who they are, they will never do the right thing."

“Esther, you belong to me.”

Esther's lips were pale. At this moment, Momoyama was about to suppress her and seal her away, but the rose storm was about to block Momoyama and prevent her from being sealed away.

However, she herself was at the center of the magical pressure clash between the two Third Ring Thrones, which caused cracks to appear in her magical pressure shell and her great magic to become disordered.

The Rose Witch looked at the Catherine Witch provocatively.

"Katya, if this continues, Esther will die. If she dies, won't you regret it?"

Catherine the Witch showed no sign of stopping.

"There are only two possible outcomes today. One, she stays. Two, she dies."

“Anna, you know how I do things. I won’t let her leave alive. You can take her with you. I allow it. In the form of a corpse.”

The Rose Witch scrutinized the Catherine Witch, and seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, but instead smiled, she was completely relieved.

The Rose Witch looked at Esther thoughtfully.

“Esther, it seems that your long-standing friendship with the Red Dragon Throne could not save your life. The Red Dragon Throne is cold-hearted by nature, and everyone is just a pawn in her game.”

"I wanted to save you, but alas, she didn't give me the chance."

Esther's face turned pale. She summoned a peach tree, and under her magic, the peach tree quickly transformed from a young peach tree into an old one. The peach tree grew larger and larger, adding one growth ring after another.

The Rose Witch's eyes flickered for a moment, then she revealed intense interest. To her, Esther's greatest value lay in this one thing.

Tree rings!
That's right, Esther went to Golden Crown Mountain to study tree ring science. Her main task in Group Three was to research how to quickly increase the annual rings of tree-type magical plants.

One of the most important aspects of tree ring science is increasing the age of the magical plant by adding tree rings.

Because among the magical tree-like plants in the second and first rings, a large number of them require a specific number of years to mature. These years could be one hundred, two hundred, or even five hundred years for some second-ring magical tree-like plants to grow and mature before they can be used.

The main magical plant material used in the Rose Witch's Love Ring project is a peach tree magical plant from a specific year.

But the problem came again.

Compared to Mount Golden Crown, Rose Academy is not as good at annular geometry.

Therefore, she activated Esther as a backup plan, obtaining Mount Golden Crown by detonating it in advance, especially Esther, the ring-ring wizard whom Catherine the Witch had cultivated over a century.

Esther possesses cutting-edge ring-based geology at the forefront of Yunze Wetland.

From the very beginning, the Rose Witch had seen that she was very suitable to study at Golden Crown Mountain and had the potential to become the best genius at Golden Crown Mountain.

However, her position in the Rose Council would be neither high nor low.

The Rose Witch believes her greatest strength lies not in magical research, but in her ability to judge character.

She has the ability to judge people!
The Rose Witch smiled, but Esther had always grown up on Mount Golden Crown, so if Esther didn't defect and completely break ties with her old employer, she wouldn't dare trust Esther.

Of course, the fact that it was detonated prematurely was actually a passive response.

The main problem was that opportunist from the Crown Court, Wizard Jack. Seeing the power of the Golden Crown Mountain, he became greedy and betrayed her, leaving her caught off guard.

The witch Catherine looked at Esther with a cold expression and murderous intent in her eyes.

On the other side, under the intense collision of magical pressure, Lana the Witch and Nina the Witch were somewhat swayed and staggered.

The witch Nina said, "Does His Majesty the Red Dragon Throne really intend to kill Esther? Although I also dislike traitors, but..."

"That's right. No matter how many layers of armor the Rose Throne has layered, betrayal is still betrayal. If we kill her now, at most we'll just have to pay some money and that'll be the end of it."

"The White Wizard Association couldn't say anything either."

"It just means writing more reports and doing some troublesome things."

The witch Lana said, "Moreover, Esther is covered in wounds now, which is the best time to kill her. Otherwise, if she were in her prime, even the Throne of the Three Rings wouldn't be able to kill a Sun Ring wizard so easily."

Lana the Witch glanced in Locke's direction.

"Why does that dragon feel so familiar to me? What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like I know a dragon from the past when I'm walking down the street?"

"It's just a strange dragon from the Dragon Mountains."

The witch Lana pointed in Locke's direction and said, "That dragon is so strange. Not only is its bloodline mixed, but it also emits [whirlwinds] from its body."

"That's the wind from the Whirlpool Great World."

"The Vortex Great World is located in the far reaches of the endless void. How could the vortex of that world appear here?"

“The whirlwind is like a drop of water, and it blows onto everything. There was a wizard who fell into the whirlwind and was trapped for only an hour. In the end, his bones and soul all disappeared.”

"Whirlwinds are all-pervasive and can penetrate any hole. Once entangled, the body and soul will be corrupted by that special wind. No matter how powerful the spell or how ancient the bloodline power, it will all be reduced to nothing under the blow of that wind."

Lana the Witch sighed.

"As for that dragon, it was blowing whirlwinds out of its body, so it was definitely dead. If the whirlwinds weren't so dangerous, and if the battle between the third-ring wizards wasn't so perilous, I would have explored it myself."

However, she wasn't a wizard specializing in this area, so naturally she wasn't very interested.

The witch Lana said regretfully, "It's a pity that my garden is missing a pet. I really liked that dragon just now, and I felt a connection with it, so I wanted to take it back and put it in my garden. Now it seems that I won't have that chance."

Nina the witch said, "Lana, if you like, you can go to the market and buy one that looks similar."

On the other side, the Sith wizard also looked at the whirlwind and frowned immediately. "Oh no, it's a whirlwind. And Celt has actually been blown into the whirlwind."

The next moment, something even more worrying for the Sith wizard and the others happened, because the Sun Dragon actually grabbed the Celtic wizard's hand with its claws, preventing him from leaving.

The Sith wizards and the others were immediately startled.

However, due to the whirlwind's unique characteristics, they dared not approach it rashly for the time being.

At that moment, the Celtic leader's face twitched from the wind, and his magical armor cracked inch by inch. "You stupid dragon, let me go!"

"quick!"

His face was covered in layers of skin, which were deformed.

But how could Locke let it go? He realized that the black wind blowing out of the vent was limited.

The black wind has a special characteristic: it is "omnipresent". So as long as you capture the Celtic leader, a part of the black wind will automatically go to the Celtic leader.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

If it weren't for the Celtic leader shielding him from the black wind, he, as a Sun-Shepherd Dragon, would have been completely blown apart by now.

At this moment, most of the black wind in his body was actually transferring towards the Celtic leader!
Very good!
For some reason, the Celtic leader was much more resilient than himself, so the black wind kept shifting from himself toward him in order to destroy him.

Locke guessed that the wind had the property of destroying everything, and therefore would destroy everything that was connected to it within a system.

By capturing the Celtic leader at this moment, he was forcibly connected to him as part of a system.

Of course, some people might want to use the properties of this wind to ensure their own death during the process of advancing the dragon bloodline from the first ring to the second ring. However, they did not expect that precisely because this wind possesses the power and compulsion to destroy an entire system, it has saved them at this moment.

The Celtic team leader's expression also changed drastically.

"What kind of wind is this? You stupid dragon! Oh no, this wind is actually moving towards me!"

Locke let out a dragon roar, and surprisingly, he regained some of his strength as a result, thus regaining his ability to fly.

Locke let out a sound towards the Death Dragon, as if it were a distress signal.

The Death Dragon, which was about to retreat, turned to look at Locke under his astonished gaze, as if he was hesitating about something.

After observing Locke's miserable state for a while, he then did something that made Locke feel ashamed.

This death dragon actually responded to Locke's roar and then turned and flew towards Locke.

Locke was dumbfounded.

Could it be that true feelings exist in the Dragon Realm?
Does this work?
At this moment, the Celtic leader, with a dark face, stuffed all those whirlwinds into his vast magical tranquil grassland.

The Celtic leader was relieved to discover that his Tranquil Grassland was essentially a vast expanse of magical vegetation growing in a barren, almost waterless, and low-magic environment, gradually improving the surrounding moisture and magical tides—a great magic.

This immense magic utilizes the property of vetiver to generate magical resources using wind energy, and it is based on this property that this immense magic was completed.

Before entering Mount Golden Crown, the cycle of using wind power to convert into resources by this great magic was not very complete.

Because wind cannot be guaranteed to exist indefinitely, how can energy circulation be solved if there is no wind?
If it is placed in a place with constant wind, and if the wind there is kept to a relatively constant level, but the wind intensity fluctuates, the disruption to the entire energy system will be far too great.

The biggest problem that the Celts solved during their twenty years at Mount Corona was how to deal with the unpredictable winds, which came and went.

The Tranquil Grassland has planted more than a dozen kinds of magical herbs, which have a special combination that allows it to change various winds.

At the same time, when there is no wind, the tranquil grassland can still rely on the plants' natural function of photosynthesis to barely survive.

Even inside, there is a magical plant combination that utilizes photosynthesis to create a heat difference, resulting in a breeze that is the most basic wind needed to maintain the tranquil grassland.

At this moment, the tranquil grassland, blown into by the whirlwind, did not collapse instantly. Instead, after large swathes of grass withered, it gradually absorbed the wind, transforming it into energy and turning it into various precious magical resources for the tranquil grassland.

In fact, because the whirlwind was of a particularly high level, he actually gained some benefits.

The Celtic team leader was both happy and worried.

'The wind's level is so high that it has caused my Tranquil Grassland to produce the highest-grade imaginary soil—Spirit-Condensing Soil—that can currently be produced within this immense magical power.'

'Whatever, I've already borne the consequences. That damned foolish dragon actually wanted to die with me. He underestimated wizards. I've already transformed all this black wind into Breath Soil.'

'This way, I'll make a fortune. Moreover, the Spirit-Condensing Soil is the highest-grade soil I can currently produce, which can in turn enhance my powerful magic.'

Locke was delighted rather than worried when he saw this.

'I see. So, you can modify powerful magic like this, making it useful for both fighting and making money? No wonder you're a wizard from Golden Crown Mountain; you really know how to do things.'

'Good, now we have a way to get through this.'

Locke looked up and saw that the Death Dragon had turned around and opened its mouth towards him, as if it wanted to eat him.

Locke was immediately filled with alarm.

He suddenly realized that for the Death Dragon, its main food source was various dragons, although not including giant dragons.

But that only refers to the main food sources and does not include dragons.

If you encounter an extremely weak dragon...

But for the Death Dragon, it was a rare delicacy bestowed upon him by heaven. Good heavens, he turned around not because he was tricked into coming to save him, but because he wanted to eat him.

The law of the food chain in the Dragon Mountains is survival of the fittest!
Locke's eyes suddenly shrank, and he directly used the second-circle bloodline universal spell model [Burn to ashes], burning all his energy and sublimating it to the extreme in an instant, and then crashing headfirst into the tail of the Death Dragon.

Even the Death Dragon was startled by Locke's sudden resurgence.

Aren't they almost dead?
what happened?

The next moment, Locke used all his strength to bite down hard on the Death Dragon's tail, leaving a bite mark on it. Then, like a giant dragon burrowing machine, Locke, with his dragon head raised, bit a wound into the Death Dragon's continent-sized body and burrowed inside.

Death Dragon was furious. That damned, wounded, and dying stupid dragon had crawled into its tail like a parasite!

Ahhhhh!
