Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 806 The Dragon Breath of the Demonic Rose

Henry the old pirate was furious when he learned that the goods that Solas the Barefoot sold them were unwanted stockpiles, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent toward Locke.

The next moment, the poisoned blade in his left hand attacked Locke.

Its speed was incredibly fast, and it was hopping on one foot like a spinning top. In just an instant, it stabbed Locke hundreds of times in the throat, eyes, and heart.

The poisoned blade clashed violently with Locke's permanent defensive force field and natural force field.

Sparks of magic appeared.

Locke used the "Lone Tree Cannot Support" technique to control the Demon Dragon Rose to retreat. He only intended to retreat 10 meters, but unexpectedly, in an instant, he retreated thousands of meters and flew directly out of the transport port into the void.

'Um? '

Locke saw some black text and patterns appear on his body, all of which were enchanted runes.

'He just moved quickly using the Enchantment Spell Model: Storm Step. And the one who attacked me was the Enchantment Spell Model: Swift Thrust.'

"And after attacking me with his left-hand artifact, he placed an enchanted spell model on me: Spell Control."

Locke's clone, aboard the wizard's airship, purchased Ackerman's consulting services for 5 magic stones.

However, according to Ackerman, the consulting fees for general education scholars can vary in price.

After all, it's just answering a few questions.

The price is lower for wizards you like and higher for wizards you don't.

At this moment, Wizard Ackerman directly told Locke the names of the three spells the other party was using, and Locke, as a second-circle wizard, immediately used the free library system within the Water Gourd Network to find information about the three spell models.

These are all combat spells from the Enchanting school.

However, these combat spells should theoretically not have such power in actual combat.

The old pirate sneered, his eyes glancing down at section C of the transport station.

The old pirate covered his face with his left hand, and the next moment, it was as if he was wearing a red and white mask. Then his physical functions were enhanced, and in an instant, he attacked Locke again.

He strok on Storm Steps Spell Model, moving as if on flat ground. The alchemical mechanism on his right leg made his legs even stronger. The poisoned blade in his hand stabbed towards Locke, enchanted with a powerful piercing magic—Enchanted Spell Model: Absolute Piercing.

"I originally intended to kill you cleanly and efficiently."

The old pirate wizard, Henry the Wizard, laughed loudly, "I never expected that you, this nobody, would be more capable than I thought."

"It actually withstood so many of my attacks."

Locke possesses the bloodlines of two ancient creatures, and the Demon Dragon Rose and the Demon Dragon bloodline reinforce each other. Therefore, with the Demon Dragon Rose protecting him, plus the protection of the permanent defensive force field and the natural force field, Locke was able to barely hold on against the old pirate's continuous attacks.

It was only because of the enchanted spell that the spell went out of control. He could move forward or backward hundreds of meters with the slightest movement, and he had no control over his body at all.

'This is a unique art of manipulating artifacts used by pirate wizards. Enchanters are normally not adept at direct combat, but this has changed thanks to artifact magic.'

Locke used the second-circle spell model [Burn to Ashes] to enhance his physical abilities, causing the poisoned blade that the pirate wizard Henry stabbed at his throat to miss his throat and instead grazed his face.

A fierce magical attack erupted between the Poison Blade and Locke's permanent defensive field. The permanent defensive field was damaged, with a gash appearing, and the attack also injured the flesh beneath it.

A spray of blood appeared on Locke's face.

'I see. The pirate possessed more than one magical artifact, and those artifacts weren't necessarily crafted by him personally; they were likely crafted by a more skilled enchanter.'

Locke understood why some of these second-ring pirate wizards were rather weak, while the wizard in front of him was so troublesome.

The reason is simple—it's a magical artifact.

These wizards transformed themselves into second-circle magical artifacts, becoming second-circle wizards who proved the truth of the wizard. Thus, their entire being was a magical artifact, and they could naturally use the concept of magical artifacts to completely assemble themselves into combined magical artifacts.

If the pirates wanted to enhance their combat power, they could have chosen to combine magical artifacts instead of the normal path of increasing magical pressure—the spell model.

The reason why those second-circle wizards are considered weak is because they are simply too weak within the normal spell model—the Great Magic—the Magic Pressure system.

The reason this dark wizard is so powerful is that his body is assembled with a bunch of powerful second-ring magical artifacts, turning himself into a powerful combination magical artifact.

Locke used the Primal Fire to burn his own body, breaking the enchantment spell model left on him by his opponent: Spell Out of Control.

The old pirate Henry glanced at the C area again, then caught up with Locke. "The bloodline science of Mount Golden Crown is indeed impressive. I didn't expect you could use bloodline magic to enhance your physical functions to this extent."

"It can actually keep up with my storm pace."

Stormsteps is, after all, a second-level enchantment spell model, and its enhancement to physical functions is truly immense.

Or rather, the spell originally didn't enhance physical abilities as much as it does now, but because he transformed his body into a magical artifact and installed another magical artifact on his right leg, his speed far exceeds that of a normal second-ring enchanter.

Henry the old wizard's poisoned blade pierced towards Locke's eyeball. Locke frowned as a huge wave of blood surged. His pineapple wizard shoes slid out an ice track, and he stepped onto this track, sliding forward.

Henry the old wizard immediately activated the pair of Archangel Boots on his feet, using the Light-Controlling ability to stay close to Locke and prevent him from shaking off.

The next moment, his poisoned blade stabbed towards Locke.

A malicious glint flashed in the eyes of the old wizard Henry, and at the same time, his gaze returned to the direction of the transport station.

'Boom~'

As the poisoned blade collided with Locke's eyeball, the permanent defensive force field on Locke's eyeball immediately collided with the magical artifact, sparking numerous magical flames, and cracks appeared within his permanent defensive force field.

The poisoned blade was highly toxic; once it pierced the skin, the poison would flow into the user's body through the blade.

Henry the old pirate thought to himself.

'Success! That little white wizard is finished.'

But the next moment, when the old wizard Henry looked down, he saw that the two buds of the magic dragon rose attached to Locke's back were biting his shoulders.

Locke dodged the attack just before the poisoned blade touched his eyeball.

Locke just used the ultimate magic, Evolution Moon, and the Moon Cultivation Method to strengthen his two magical plants: one is the Great Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoes, and the other is the Demon Dragon Rose.

Because the wizard Trajan had killed many dark wizards, and Locke had extracted their energy to refine the Elixir of Zero, the amount of lunar essence he had accumulated had increased at least threefold, enough to directly evolve three second-ring magical plants.

At this moment, Locke used the essence of the moon, which could evolve into two second-ring magical plants, to infuse the Magical Dragon Rose and the Great Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoes, respectively, to enhance their magical plant traits.

Furthermore, the Fire Tree Silver Flower enchanted knife was used to trim the void information within, ensuring that it only enhanced the void without allowing the surrounding void information to flow back in.

In this way, his final speed just now should have completely overwhelmed this Henry the Dark Wizard. His Storm Steps + Face Mask Enhancement + Magic Weapon Enhancement + Wizard Shoe Enhancement were not as powerful as the flight ability of his own Dragon Rose + Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoes + Evolution Moon amplification.

Therefore, he was slower than himself, so his final attack missed his own eyeball. Instead, he dodged it and used the Demonic Dragon Rose to turn the tables on his opponent.

At this moment, the three buds of the Demonic Dragon Rose resembled the three heads of a demonic dragon. Two of the three heads bit the opponent's shoulders, and the demonic dragon flames flowed down like liquid. The third bud of the Demonic Dragon Rose bit the opponent's chest, and then a burst of demonic dragon breath shot out.

Dragon breath is one of the dragon's most powerful weapons.

As Locke used the Dragon Rose, he gradually discovered that as long as he used the Dragon Bloodline and the Dragon Rose at the same time, he could make the three buds of the Dragon Rose simultaneously spew out the Dragon Breath.

That is, three times the dragon's breath.

Locke, meanwhile, had his jaws clamped down on the black wizard's three heads, and was simultaneously unleashing dragon breath upon him.

The black wizard screamed and was shot from the void towards the ground by flames.

But before he could escape, Locke swooped down, and the two dragon heads of the Rose Dragon quickly extended from behind Locke, each biting at his shoulder.

"Being a fraction slower than me means you'll take an extra hit. Your problem is, you don't have a good pair of wizard shoes. You're an enchanter yourself, yet you don't understand the ways of the magic weavers?"

Henry, the old pirate, tried to use the Archangel's War Boots to escape Locke's continuous attacks in order to find an opportunity to regroup. However, Locke did not give him a chance at all, and with his speed that was a level faster than him and the powerful perception of his Tiger Eyes, he came up behind him.

Two dragon heads bit the other's shoulders, and a third dragon head bit the other's chest, while a spell model appeared behind the dragon heads.

Immediately afterwards, the three dragon heads spewed out dragon flames once again.

Henry, the old pirate, was immediately subjected to Locke's attack once again.

At this moment, Locke's magical attacks actually relied on several spells from the Evolution Moon to enhance the combat power or adaptability of his magical plants, as well as the generational alternation to amplify them.

Locke's combination of the Dragon Rose, Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes, and the temporary multiplication trait from the Moon Cultivation Method just now created a state of high attack and attack speed.

This is also Locke's current assessment of the most effective fighting method to counter the pirate before him.

This pirate is characterized by high attack and high speed, but relatively average defense.

Although it's possible to increase defense by combining magical artifacts, he doesn't seem to have spent too many resources on this aspect.

However, his original defensive field was too weak, and his ultimate magic was still a human-made weapon. Therefore, once he encountered an opponent who was faster than him and had higher spell damage, he would be at a disadvantage in a battle where he was a lower-level opponent facing a higher-level opponent.

Henry, the old pirate, spat out a mouthful of blood. He opened his magic eyes, trying to track Locke's movements, but Locke's innate magic eyes were faster than his. The moment he opened his eyes, Locke sensed his movement and circled behind him.

His demonic eye shot out a rocket forward.

The rocket passed directly through the transport station and shot into the distant void, but it was unknown where it landed.

There are few obstacles in the void, so a spell can often travel a long distance before disappearing.

Locke, behind him, took out a Pinellia ternata plant. He infused the plant with the third portion of lunar essence, temporarily doubling all of its magical plant traits, and then used the Summer Grass Firefly.

A phantom magical planet, resembling Mars, appeared behind him and slammed into him.

In an instant, countless sparks flew up from the black wizard's body.

"what!"

Henry the pirate let out a scream.

Those sparks burrowed into his body, severely injuring him.

Locke then used the dragon head of the Demonic Rose bud to bite his shoulder, suspending him in mid-air, and asked the old pirate, "Tell me, what's in Section C of the transport station? Why are you so concerned about that location?"

Henry the old pirate coughed weakly.

"I'm so unwilling to accept that I lost to a mere brat like you. What are you talking about? I'm just here to kill you. After I kill you, I'll take your head to that executioner wizard and force him to negotiate with our captain."

"It's not easy for pirates to go out on an operation... If they return empty-handed, morale will collapse."

Locke sneered.

"When you fought me, you looked towards Area C twice. Moreover, you intentionally pushed me towards Area C to change your fighting position. Your real purpose was not to kill me; your real purpose was to destroy something in Area C."

"You are indeed cunning, you almost succeeded. It's a pity you underestimated that your strength is inferior to mine."

Old Henry's pupils suddenly contracted. He hadn't expected that this unknown white wizard would be so confident in the battle just now, completely seeing through his thoughts.

Old Henry the Wizard closed his eyes.

"Since that's the case, then kill me."

"We pirates are loyal."

"Don't try to ask me anything."

Locke pressed Banxia against his neck.

"The body of a demonic artifact does have many advantages, such as its strong vitality and defense. Even if your permanent defensive stance is not strong enough, your body is tough enough."

"Even so, at such close range, you should die from my enhanced Xia Cao Ying Huo attack, right?"

"After all, your great magic is one with your physical body."

Locke asked, "If you don't answer me this last time, I'll kill you right now."

"You should know I'm serious. What exactly is in Area C?"

Old Henry felt a chill run down his spine, because he sensed that this little killing god was actually preparing to kill him.

That wasn't a threat, that wasn't intimidation, but a death sentence if you disagreed.

Pirate Henry said, "Wait, there's a batch of plant seeds in Sector C that the Rose Council wants us to destroy. I don't know the specifics; you Golden Crown Mountain experts are the real experts."

"It seems to be called something like Silver Ring Green Sprout."

“Sometimes, we take on missions from employers in exchange for magical resources that cannot be obtained through plunder. This time, the Rose Council specifically requested that we destroy the Silver Ring Green Seedlings in Sector C of this transport station!”
