Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 747 Rejuvenation and the Twists of Fate
As Locke deciphered the prophecy of the Tower of the Black Sun and resumed the broken path, he also crossed the broken road and raised his bloodline power to the second level.

In reality, within the flesh and blood passage of the Death Dragon's tail, Locke's body completely transformed into the juvenile form of the three-headed World-Destroying Demon Dragon, emanating the true dragon's might.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Locke gazed ahead and saw a smooth, wide road stretching out before him, beyond which the gap lay a narrow and slippery path.

This means that all I need to do is fill this dragon bloodline with other bloodline powers to help it continuously increase its power level.

To become a star-ring level, lunar-ring level existence...

However, in the far distance, Locke noticed that the road was still broken, because even from a great distance, he could still see a gap, and the road ahead was still broken.

This indicates that the Black Sun Tower's blockade of the dragon's bloodline occurred at every crucial juncture.

Logically speaking, the Tower of the Black Sun seems to reject the generation of a fully formed dragon bloodline. Therefore, the closer the dragon bloodline is to a higher level, the greater the backlash it may suffer.

Locke looked at the road ahead and fell into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, simply helping his teacher with a personal task would complete his Demon Dragon Bloodline to the second level, and even trigger a direct attack from the Black Sun Tower.

It is foreseeable that if I continue down this path, and if the Tower of the Black Sun still exists somewhere, I will likely encounter not the annihilation that the other party placed in the bloodline of the demonic dragon in the past, but the pursuit I am in now.

Locke recalled that his mortal father had once said that the original owner's mother was a witch being hunted by the Tower of the Black Sun. Could it be that the Tower of the Black Sun still exists?
Locke pondered, "That fracture isn't between the second and third rings. Based on this length, a rough calculation suggests it's more likely a fracture exists between the lunar and solar rings. In other words, the current upper limit of my bloodline is the lunar ring, but because of the missing crucial bloodline essence, my three-headed dragon bloodline cannot become a solar ring-level bloodline."

"To push the three-headed dragon's bloodline to the upper limit of the lunar ring, I first need to use the most primitive method of consumption, taking various magical potions, magical plants, and magical creatures to push it towards the lunar ring. Alternatively, I could use archaeological methods, transplanting some ancient creature bloodlines into my body to merge with the dragon's bloodline, which would both complete the dragon's bloodline and accelerate its evolution. I don't know how many resources this would consume, but at least before reaching the solar ring, there is still a way forward."

"But during the circumference phase, we will encounter another circuit breaker like the one we just saw."

Locke's expression was not good.

The shock I just experienced still leaves me feeling lingering fear.

If it had been just a little off, my life would have been lost, the spell model would have been completely destroyed, and I would have had to start all over again from the first-class wizard apprentice stage.

Fortunately, with the help of Celtic wizards and archaeological magic, he survived this ordeal.

However, this will have to happen again during the annular phase.

This time, thanks to the factor of time, the prophecy of the Tower of the Sun was avoided. What about next time?

If the conditions for lifting the prophecy next time are not met, then I will really die!
Locke pondered, "Is there any value in continuing to explore the path of the World-Destroying Demon Dragon bloodline?"

Locke quickly chuckled.

“What am I thinking? As a researcher at Mount Golden Crown and the champion of the Silent Grail, the idea of ​​‘whether or not to excavate’ has never been a question I should have considered from the beginning.”

“Any ambitious wizard would not let go of this project that clearly hides a huge secret. After this project, I can see if there are any suitable funds to apply for, and use the association’s money, people and equipment to do my own thing.”

"We can also see if there are any relevant awards we can apply for."

"Not to mention that you can publish a lot of high-quality journal articles and papers afterward."

Locke thought to himself, "If all else fails, it won't be a waste."

Locke sneered.

"If we can keep digging, we might be able to uncover the great truth hidden in the Age of Stars, the secrets behind King Otto and Princess Loom, and win the second-level Istoria Archaeology Award."

"If I encounter an insurmountable danger or hurdle, I can simply turn the Demonic Dragon bloodline into firewood to fuel the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline and find a path for my Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline to advance to the third ring. That way, it won't be a loss, and it can also instantly resolve the trouble caused by the Demonic Dragon bloodline."

In reality, the Death Dragon sensed the aura of a true dragon from its own tail. It immediately trembled, an instinct from the depths of its genes—fear, distancing, and awe. Then, the Death Dragon shook its tail, forcefully squeezing its muscles, and flung Locke and the others away.

Its original plan was to use the parasites on its body to eliminate Locke's ability to resist, then use the muscles in its tail to block Locke's movement space, and gradually squeeze the muscles to crush Locke to death in its tail, and then directly digest the Shepherd Dragon and the wizard with its muscles.

At this moment, the Death Dragon sensed the aura of a true dragon. Although it was still weak, it was still the dragon's might of a true dragon.

The Death Dragon completely abandoned its plan to linger around and try to pick up any leftovers. After flicking its tail and sending Locke and the Celtic leader flying, it flew away without looking back.

The Death Dragon is ultimately just an elite member of the dragon race, possessing the potential to defeat a three-ringed true dragon, but dragons are still restrained by the dragon's might.

In addition, this place has become too dangerous.

So it simply left.

Locke, along with the Celtic leader, was smashed into a hill. When Locke crawled out of the pile of rocks, he used his dragon claw to pull the Celtic leader out of the pile of rocks.

The Celtic team leader coughed incessantly. "Cough cough cough..."

He looked at his greatly enhanced magic and was overjoyed.

He gained a lot this time.

The Celtic leader looked at Locke, who had changed so much, and was slightly amazed, his pupils shrinking slightly.

"Hmm? This isn't the dragon's might."

"What level of dragon might is this?"

"What exactly is this three-headed dragon?"

The Celtic leader pondered for a moment, then said to Locke, "I am Celtic, the wizard mentor of Golden Crown Mountain. Brother Dragon, it was a pleasure working with you just now. You seem to have completed your bloodline transformation."

The Celtic leader looked up at Locke's forehead, where the black, radiant cross had disappeared.

"Brother Long, if you don't mind, you are welcome to visit my Golden Crown Mountain. My Golden Crown Mountain has Dragon Viewing Peaches, which can grant dragons 'humanity' and a human soul after they consume them!"

“If magical creatures eat the Dragon View Peach King, then they can call themselves human.”

Locke glanced at Celt, ignored him, and flew to the side.

The Celtic wizard frowned upon seeing this.

Did you refuse?

That's fine.

Anyway, it was just a whim of his. Perhaps the dragon was just using him from the beginning. Now that everyone has gotten what they wanted, there is really no need for a trade.

Celt licked his lips as he recalled the black wind that had emerged from the depths of Locke's body.

That thing greatly improved him.

On the other side, Locke gave a wry smile.

The Tower of the Black Sun!

Absolutely amazing.

The black wind arising from within the body is already terrifying.

The moment the transformation is completed, if the road suddenly collapses, it is even more terrifying, as the prophecy from the Tower of the Black Sun strikes like a curse.

But now, the Tower of the Black Sun has left behind a third dark hand!
At this moment, the black wind had disappeared, and the prophecy had been broken, but countless insects still emerged from the depths of his dragon bloodline.

It seemed to be some kind of ancient ritual magic, but I didn't understand it.

These tiny black insects appeared in every cell of his body, constantly gnawing and devouring his flesh and blood, consuming many in the blink of an eye.

In other words, anyone whose dragon bloodline advances to the second ring will definitely die.

Locke suddenly understood.

The Tower of the Black Sun left behind numerous backup plans to ensure that the bloodline of the Demon Dragon would not leak out. He had been considering how to cross the broken path at the Sun Ring level, but he never expected that he had never crossed this broken path at the Second Ring.

'However, fortunately, this body is merely a form of the World's Rare Species, the Dragon-Eating Beast. Therefore, these tiny insects will only kill this body, and they cannot penetrate the soul level. In other words, they only need to ensure the destruction of the dragon body possessing the bloodline of the demonic dragon.'

In this way, he wouldn't be trapped in the predicament where the special black wind would scatter his numerous spell models, massive magic, and permanent defensive field. The Tower of the Black Sun probably didn't anticipate that his body was merely obtained through an item.

Locke peered into his body. 'The worms are gradually decreasing. These worms, which emerged from the dragon's bloodline, seem to be limited in number. According to this calculation, they probably can't even destroy the dragon's body, let alone completely kill it; they can only leave the dragon severely injured and potentially dying at any moment. The bloodline is extremely weak, but interestingly, these worms seem to be able to devour the bloodline.'

In other words, this should be a type of insect that the Tower of the Black Sun specifically used to deal with bloodline wizards during the Age of Stars.

What's even more interesting is...

What is the main power of the Tower of the Sun?
Possessing the bloodline of the Demon Dragon!
The Black Sun Tower possesses these bloodline-devouring insects, and their greatest purpose is probably not for the witch kings of the 300 million magic kingdoms, but for those who possess the bloodline of the demon dragon.

Locke tried several methods, but none of them worked against these insects, which seemed to be able to ignore all his magical attacks.

Realizing he couldn't stop the insects, Locke had no choice but to give up.

Anyway, if I lose my life, so be it.

As long as it doesn't affect your own spell models.

Locke turned to look into the distance, where he saw the Rose Witch and the Catherine Witch still battling each other from afar.

However, the situation seems to have changed.

Under the suppression of two major third-circle spells, the magical pressure shell on Esther's body was covered with cracks. At this moment, Ekaterina the Witch made her move again, pointing her finger forward, and Esther's face continued to grow younger.

Her age seemed to regress to that of a young woman. Before long, her face became fair and beautiful, with delicate and smooth skin—the kind of skin that only a young girl would have.

In the blink of an eye, Esther the Witch continued to transform, turning into a little girl with loose, baggy clothes.

At this moment, Esther the witch's expression changed drastically, because not only had her body turned into a little girl, but her state had also changed to that of a little girl.

She's free from magical pressure!

Just like an ordinary person.

The Rose Witch's eyes lit up slightly, and she said with a smile, "Isn't this the third-circle botanical spell I developed, 'Rejuvenation'? Katya, you just love copying me."

The witch Catherine sighed. "This is a botanical spell I developed on my own, called 'Rejuvenation.' Anna, you just wanted to learn it from me, so please don't get it wrong."

"I remember your [Rejuvenation] is not a permanent effect, while my Rejuvenation is a permanent effect magic."

The Rose Witch's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to be deep in thought for a moment.

"In this respect, you do have a slight edge over me."

Because she can't do it.

Or it's just a fantasy.

It's just incredible.

But the Rose Witch immediately remembered that the Catherine Witch had recently obtained the special resource [Red Spider Lily] along the Tianjiang River because of the Three Kings Tournament.

With the help of that three-ringed magic plant, achieving this doesn't seem like a big deal.

The next moment, Catherine the Witch raised her finger and swept it across the air.

Esther the witch opened her mouth. “Your Majesty the Throne…”

The next moment, her throat was slit open.

Killing a Sun Ring Wizard is incredibly difficult, but killing a mortal girl is as easy as a flick of the wrist.

Esther is dead.

The Celtic team leader closed his eyes, unable to bear to look.

The Sith wizard scoffed. "Traitor."

The other wizards of Golden Crown Mountain closed their eyes, but they all understood that this was the fate that betrayers deserved.

The moment she secretly fled into the lawless Dragon Mountains, she was almost equating herself with the dark wizard.

If you're outside, it's not so easy to mess with a Sun Ring Wizard.

She narrowed her own path.

Locke's dragon eyes widened at the sight.

No way, they really killed him?

This……

Locke was surprised to see the Rose Witch curling her lips into a smile, seemingly in a good mood.

and many more……

Why is the Rose Witch pleased instead of angry? Is there something I don't know about?

The next moment, the Rose Witch suddenly appeared in front of Locke.

Locke's pupils suddenly contracted.

At this moment, he faced the full terror of the Third Ring Wizard.

Most importantly, he still couldn't sense any magical pressure emanating from this third-ring wizard.

Locke instantly realized that in everyone's eyes he was a dragon, and that he was now completely isolated and helpless.

No one will come to save me or stand on my side.

Locke was about to fly upwards, but the next moment, the Rose Witch pressed her palm against her forehead.

The Rose Witch mused, "What a pity. That Sun-Shepherd Dragon was so cute; I really wanted to take it home as a pet. But now it's so ugly. Ugly things don't need to dart around in front of my throne."

Locke was about to protest, but before he could even react, a hand was already pressing down on his dragon's head.

Locke was horrified to discover that not only was he unable to move, but every inch of his flesh and blood was turning into a plant.

What kind of magic is this? It can actually turn the flesh and blood of a two-ringed dragon into plants!
A blood-red dragon rose bloomed in the same spot.

The Celtic leader was indignant. He had only just begun to build a relationship with that silly dragon, and perhaps if he managed to fool it a few more times, he could get a decent mount.

At worst, they could be sold to a wizard mentor specializing in beast taming magic at Golden Crown Mountain in exchange for research funding.

But now...

That silly dragon has turned into a... flower.

The Rose Witch turned to look at the Ekaterina Witch and smiled, "This is a spell I recently developed called 'Flower-Making Trick'."

"what do you think?"

The power of a third-ring wizard is unbelievably high!

The Rose Witch, with her hands behind her back, smiled and said, "The timing of this dragon's appearance is too coincidental. So I decided to give it a try. But since no one stopped me, it means that it is either not an important thing for your Golden Crown Mountain, or it has nothing to do with your Golden Crown Mountain at all."

"Now that he is dead, all my doubts have vanished. Ladies and gentlemen, our dispute has ended. The Rose Council welcomes you all to give open lectures or seminars at our university."

"Katya, I'll be going now. Don't bother seeing me out."
