Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 832 The Seasons Revolve, Powerful Life Magic! Leaf of Power!
The twelve ice plum blossom wheels struck the Blood Ancestor True Body, which was transformed from the Second Ring Wizards. The next moment, the massive bodies of these three Blood Demon Gods were smashed to pieces by the ice plum blossom wheels.

The surrounding sea of ​​blood solidified, and the act of drawing spiritual energy from mortals ceased.

At the same time, the three second-ring wizards did not expect Locke to make such a sudden move.

Even in the world of dark wizards, there are relatively few people as vicious as him.

After all, the world of dark wizards is cruel, and everyone is afraid of getting hurt and giving the enemy an opportunity to exploit their weakness.

Three second-ring wizards chanted incantations simultaneously, and the blood they dropped on the ground transformed into blood tentacles that attacked Locke. However, before these blood tentacles could touch Locke, they were pierced by a turquoise spear formed from a second-ring sea gold sand.

The enormous blood tentacles transformed into a rain of blood, and the cursed power hidden within them also fell with the rain.

Hussein's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

"Locke, be careful. These wizards are masters of blood curse magic. This blood flows from their wounds. They just tried to use the [Holy Blood Hand] spell on you. Anyone caught by the Holy Blood Hand will be injected with a massive amount of curses. You just dispersed the hand. But the blood of the Holy Blood Hand contains powerful curse energy. If it turns into blood rain and scatters throughout the city, it will instantly create a large number of cursed vampires."

"Then, they can draw blood from those vampires to heal their own injuries and launch an attack on you."

The three second-ring vampire wizards immediately sneered, their eyes filled with mockery.

Summoning the Blood Curse with the Blood Curse is the core concept of the Blood Demon Palace in the Pale Pilgrimage.

Locke glanced at Hussein. "Don't worry."

"Because it's impossible."

The large glass winter green plum in Locke's hand releases a unique winter dormancy power. This dormancy power, which is a mixture of ice and snow magic and plant life magic, is one of the components of true winter magic.

Instantly, the blood that fell like raindrops froze into ice before it even reached the city, landing on the faces of the mortals and on all the livestock in the city.

Ice crystals fell over the city, startling ordinary people into closing their doors and windows.

Little did they know that if this blood rain didn't turn into ice shards, but instead dripped into the city, they would instantly become pitiful sacrifices under the blood curse.

The three black wizards, who had been sneering and mocking, now had stiff expressions. They had almost exhausted the life energy they had obtained from the Life Stealing Instrument to cast a [Holy Blood Sacrifice Hand] imbued with powerful magic runes.

Originally, they wanted to retaliate against Locke, but when that failed, they planned to first massacre the mortal city of a million people below, and then use the blood of those million mortals as a sacrifice to curse Locke.

But who would have thought that Locke only needed to wave a plum branch once at the blood rain from the sky, and all the blood would turn into ice shards.

Even more bizarrely, the curse energy that should have been active suddenly stopped reacting, as if the ice could truly seal away that curse energy.

The three dark wizards were horrified to discover that strange ice shards had also appeared on their wounds, sealing their immortality and preventing their bodies from healing themselves.

What kind of power is this?
Hussein also looked at the winter green plum in Locke's hand with surprise.

"Such a technique exists within life magic? In just an instant, all the cursed power went into a dormant state. In other words, that demonic plant possesses the ability to induce dormancy in the energy of all things. Is this winter magic?"

Strictly speaking, the magic of the four seasons is a very high-level life magic.

Therefore, black wizards are not commonly seen.

Because of his work at the law firm, Hussein had seen a lot and knew many wizards, which is why he was able to recognize the clues of the magic Locke was casting.

That wasn't a simulation of winter magic; it seemed to be the prototype of true winter magic. He hadn't expected Locke to achieve this in such a short time…

This is progress!

The three second-ring dark wizards' expressions changed drastically. They could only fill their bodies with all the life energy they had obtained from the Life Stealing Instrument to restore their bodies and souls that had been severely injured by Locke.

Furthermore, they discovered that Locke's winter magic not only harmed them but also put some of their power into a strange state.

It cannot be said that it has been sealed away.

Because it can still be called.

Although it can be invoked, its effectiveness is too weak. Even though it is the same magical pressure, it is weaker than before.

It's as if this part of the demonic pressure has fallen asleep.

This is precisely the unique effect of winter magic – the freezing effect.

Their power has partially succumbed to a state of rigidity.

"It's a little more durable than I expected. But that's about it."

Locke looked at the three of them, because he had just used the Moon Cultivation Method to comprehensively enhance his Great Glazed Winter Green Plum.

His magic pressure had reached over 19,100, while theirs was only around 15,000. His maximum magic energy dissipation, instantaneous magic pressure multiplication, and energy compatibility were all superior to their maximum magic.

In addition, winter magic is a very advanced spell, so Locke almost killed the three of them in an instant. However, the three of them managed to recover from their near-death state thanks to the vampire's immortality, although about one-tenth of their power was frozen.

The three vampire black wizards exchanged glances. They could sense that, due to Locke's winter magic, their magic pressure had actually decreased by about 750.

Their frozen magical power is about one-tenth of their total magical power.

With this calculation, they immediately understood that Locke's Great Glazed Winter Green Plum Blossom was equivalent to having the ability to indirectly reduce their magical pressure by half.

Who can bear this?

They had no idea whether their magical pressure would drop below 10,000 if they were hit again by Locke's twelve Ice Plum Blossom Slashes.

The three dark wizards immediately attacked Locke, attempting a second counterattack. They chanted incantations and cast three vampire second-circle magic spells infused with powerful magic runes.

The two spell models are the vampire's second-circle curse spell, [Crimson Blood Blade]!
One of the spell models is the vampire's second-circle curse spell, "Life and Death Pact"!
This was the second joint attack by the three dark wizards. The Crimson Blood Blade used its forbidden immortality as its energy source, transforming the curse power that originally needed to be sustained into an instantaneous damage attack.

Moreover, if a wizard is attacked by the Crimson Blood Blade, all the curse power accumulated in his body will erupt in an instant, transforming the continuous damage into a brief, instantaneous damage.

It can also attack from a distance, wield a blood blade for close combat, and imbue the blood blade with curse magic to attack others.

It can be said that it is very suitable for their vampire magic combat system.

Suddenly, crescent-shaped blood blades, each the size of a mountain, attacked Locke.

At the same time, a vampire demon god, a blood whip appeared in his left hand. He swung the blood whip at Locke. The blood whip was also a manifestation of the power of curse. Once it successfully broke through the enemy's soul defense, it could forcibly establish a bloodline connection with the enemy and usurp the connection between bloodlines, thus mutating it.

In this way, however many injuries he suffers, Locke will also suffer just as many injuries.

Similarly, Locke will suffer the same amount of injuries as he does.

Clearly, the three were quite experienced in combat; those crimson blood blades were just feints, and they didn't really hope to defeat Locke with these spells.

What they were really betting on was that by sharing a life-and-death bond, they could form a connection with Locke, so that one of them could share the damage with Locke.

The problem is that second-ring vampire black wizards can recover from injuries using blood packs and lower-level blood servants, and can use the Life Stealing Sphere to sweep through that medium-sized plane a second time to restore their souls.

Therefore, the magic of the life-and-death bond is advantageous to them but disadvantageous to Locke.

The three dark wizards watched as the blood whip, concealed behind the blood blade, attacked Locke. They looked at the spell with hope, wishing it would hit Locke.

The greatest advantage of the Life and Death Pact is that it can have an effect on enemies of the same level, as long as the difference in magic pressure does not exceed 10,000.

Of course, this magic also has a drawback: the distance between the caster and the victim cannot exceed one kilometer.

Once the distance exceeds one kilometer, the curse will automatically become ineffective.

Therefore, only one of the three chose to add a large magic rune to this spell model.

After all, the Crimson Blood Blade has a wider range of applications.

Although Hussein was somewhat worried about Locke, he glanced at Locke but, seeing that Locke had no intention of asking for his help, did not join the battle.

Locke glanced at the three's combined magical attack and immediately said, "A mere trick."

He took out the second magical plant with his left hand, which was the Summer Magical Plant, a magical plant of the Araceae family, Pinellia ternata!

Among the magical plants of the Araceae family, there are a number of special magical plants that can heat up the surrounding environment.

At this moment, Banxia swung forward, and the Xiacao Yinghuo magic model appeared at the top of Banxia, ​​turning into a magical spark. This magical spark absorbed all the blood blades with its gravitational pull, and then forcibly attracted the blood whip to it.

Then, all the energy was reflected back, hitting the three of them.

Because Pinellia is a summer magical plant with the power of fire, the three spells were not simply reflected back. The power of the three spells, plus the magical power of Pinellia itself, all boiled and became active, and continued to rise due to the fire.

'Boom~'

Energy exploded from the throats of the three and headed toward their heads. A scorching magical power erupted from their bodies, shooting into the sky and transforming into three pillars of fire.

All the mortals in the capital could see three enormous fiery tornadoes soaring into the sky.

Then, it turned into fiery clouds, and the energy dissipated in the sky.

For some reason, these mortals no longer felt the tightness and discomfort in their chests.

The emperor in the imperial palace and the second-class wizard apprentice of the Yonghui Hall also felt that their physical condition was very good, and their whole bodies were filled with a cool and refreshing feeling.

At the edge of the battlefield, Hussein placed his finger next to his right eye, and a scar above his right eye immediately burst open, flowing out blood stained with cursed power, which transformed into a blood-stained monocle that covered his right eye.

Hussein observed Locke's power. "I was right. It seems his research into the magic of the four seasons has deepened in the past few months. Is it because he's been working on a few projects lately?"

"The magical pressure of the several second-circle wizards and the magical power they exuded in the air were all drawn to the magic of the summer magical plant, causing their energy to boil as if they had been ignited, and the energy turned into a wisp of smoke rising upwards."

"That summer grass fire was even more powerful than the one I saw a few months ago. It seemed to be reflecting the energy back, but in reality, it took advantage of the characteristic of the fire power to make magic and energy boil upwards, guiding it back to the caster himself and causing the caster's own magical power to fall into chaos."

"It's like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot."

"The mortals around here should feel much more relaxed. After all, the magical pressure that originally covered the capital city was ignited by Locke's life magic and turned into upward-rising wisps of smoke." "With the magical pressure gone, those mortals will naturally feel more at ease."

Hussein, true to his genius, immediately came up with even more ideas.

"Life magic is closely related to the health of all things, and the magic of the four seasons is essentially the different states of life energy."

Three second-ring dark wizards emerged from the three pillars of fire, their bodies tattered and battered, all severely injured.

The three exchanged a glance, all realizing Locke's overwhelming power over them.

This is a force that they cannot contend with even if they join forces.

The three immediately made a decision: they could not fight anymore.

To escape!
If they don't run away soon, they might lose the strength to escape.

At this moment, the three of them used the Life Stealing Instrument to once again exhaust the resources of their medium-sized world. In a short period of time, they activated the Life Stealing Instrument for the second time in their world to intercept life energy and heal their injuries.

However, this would mean overdrawing a huge portion of one's magical power and entering a phase of borrowing to repay other loans.

Their own asset valuations will decrease, so the magic pressure of each of the three of them will drop by 500.

It dropped from 15,000 to 14,500.

The three of them looked at each other again and quickly began to communicate.

"This is bad. If this continues, we will all die at the hands of this researcher from Golden Crown Mountain. He is too ruthless, his magic is too powerful, and he is suppressing the three of us all by himself. Every time our magic is used, it is deflected."

"In this critical moment, we must do everything in our power and help each other. Otherwise, we will all die. I suggest that one person donate his blood to the other two, and the other two use their ultimate magic, the Life Stealing Instrument, to absorb his energy to enhance their physical functions. Then the other two can escape with him."

"Great idea! This is the best solution to our current predicament. Only by helping each other can we all achieve a win-win situation."

After the three of them finished discussing their plan, they turned around and ran away without looking back, showing no intention of sacrificing one person's blood to enhance the blood curse magic of the other two.

Are you kidding me?
Wouldn't the person who gets sucked be doomed?
If two people are strengthened and one person is weakened, then the two people only need to leave the person whose blood has been drained on the spot, and they can successfully escape from the clutches of that vicious white wizard.

All three were dark wizards who had become accustomed to the ugliness of humanity during the Pale Pilgrimage. Naturally, they wouldn't be so foolish as to risk their lives to believe that their companions would abide by morality and save them!

A dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist.

The three exchanged glances as they fled, hoping that if they could outrun their companion, the lone one could draw the attention of the bewitching wizard.

Therefore, the three quickly made a decision: their real enemy was not Locke, but their fleeing companions.

The two dark wizards immediately turned to the person they had chosen, who was currently the weakest in terms of magical pressure and physical condition. They chanted spells on him, and curses rained down on him, forcing him to remain in place.

The vampire demon struggled within the blood tentacles, cursing at its two companions.

"Damn it. You two bastards."

He looked at Hussein and said, "Hussein, you are also a vampire wizard. After that white wizard killed me, he will also turn against you. We'd better join forces!"

Hussein gave him a cold look, knowing that this was just him desperately trying to spout nonsense.

How could he fall into such a narrative trick?

Locke looked at the three of them, "No need to run anymore."

At this moment, a large number of Lygodium spores burst forth from the bodies of the three people, and the spores began to transform into gametes.

Botanical Second Circle Magic: Generational Change!

Those spores were secretly scattered into the air by the user using the second ring of sea gold sand, and took advantage of their inattention to parasitize the three people's bodies.

The spores of Lygodium japonicum frequently transformed between the sporophyte and gametophyte, with the transformed attributes corresponding to the summer attributes of Pinellia ternata and the winter attributes of Prunus mume.

This caused the vampire forms of the three second-ring dark wizards to begin the seasonal transformation.

Hussein glanced at Locke and immediately understood Locke's plan.

Locke's magic effect is actually not very obvious, because Locke only used some infertile spores from the second-ring sea gold sand. Even if there is a generational change and seasonal change, it will not be of much use.

But Locke used this move to directly clash his own ultimate magic with the opponent's three ultimate magics simultaneously—that is, a collision of magical pressure against magical pressure.

This will create an environment conducive to the [World War].

Because the opponent's true form as a vampire definitely wanted to disrupt the seasonal changes in their bodies to prevent Locke from directly interfering with the seasons of the plane behind them, in order to reduce their power through the seasonal changes.

Hussein immediately understood Locke's plan.

"Using the world war to expand your forest? Since you helped me once, I'll help you out in return."

Hussein cut open his right index finger, and three drops of blood fell downwards, each drop instantly transforming into a blood tentacle.

Holy Blood Sacrifice!

Three blood tentacles wrapped around the bodies of the three black wizards, injecting cursed power into them to weaken their magical pressure!

The three dark wizards roared in anger.

"Hussein, you are also a descendant of the primordial wizards, why are you helping an outsider who uses life magic?"

Hussein sneered; these three really changed their attitude quickly.

He would naturally not be swayed by these trash words.

Hussein said to Locke, "You weakened their magical pressure twice before, and with them activating the Life Stealing Ritual twice in a short period of time, their great magic has fallen into decline."

"Now I've cursed them again. It will be easier for you to force a world war against them, and you'll win more easily."

Locke turned around, gave Hussein an 'OK' sign, and then looked at the three dark wizards. His own seasonal magic flow clashed with the true form of the Blood Ancestor, and the two sides were competing in pure magical pressure. Soon, it turned into a direct magical pressure clash between the three great spells and Locke's own great spell, Evolution Moon.

At this moment, a medium-sized world began to appear behind the three of them.

The three of them were actually sharing a medium-sized world.

Locke was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized that a slightly larger, medium-sized world could indeed provide several wizards with the opportunity to construct massive magic at the same time.

This should be the norm.

The reason why the previous Louis plane only had one second-circle wizard and only built one burial ground was because Morgan was a genius among dark wizards when he was young, but he was later framed and ruined by someone.

At this moment, the three black wizards' expressions changed drastically.

"Oh no, he's started a world war."

"But does he really have the confidence to suppress all three of us at the same time, with just one powerful spell?"

Locke took a step forward, and the world changed. The moonlight of the Evolution Moon rushed directly into the world behind them [Heidelberg Plane].

A full moon appeared in this plane.

The Heidelberg Plane is a standard medium-sized life plane where the civilization is stuck in the feudal era. Everywhere there are feudal manor lords and kingdoms. At the same time, there is a Church of Light that claims to have received an oracle from the God of Light and established itself in the mortal world.

The mortals in this world have no extraordinary abilities; they are just ordinary nobles and kings.

However, within this world, three vampire clans lurk, disguised as nobles, parasitizing human society, engaging in a battle of wits and courage with the Holy See for hundreds of years, and gradually developing a large number of apostles who have been transformed into vampires.

Locke glanced at the world, noticing that his physical body was blocked outside the world's crystal system, and that most of the world's powerful and wealthy were vampires.

These vampires donned human skin and secretly ruled over mortals, while also secretly performing life-stealing rituals for three second-ring dark wizards.

The two recent life-stealing rituals have put pressure on the various countries in this plane, as they have caused too many deaths of mortals, and the society of the entire plane has begun to collapse.

Locke's Moon of Evolution: As soon as you enter, the moonlight draws in a large number of ordinary plants to form an ecological community.

"Hmm? Only ordinary plants, no magical plants?"

Locke's gaze swept across the entire plane.

"There should be three centers for the ceremony. Where will they be located?"

He could see a river of blood at the edge of the Heidelberg plane.

It seems that the three vampire wizards' act of constructing a massive magical barrier here also brought the power of the Blood River plane to this world, allowing the blood river to flow through it.

Locke's gaze fell upon the highest peak in the world, Mount Bright.

"I see. This church is actually the location where the three dark wizards secretly hold the Life Stealing Ritual. All three ritual centers are on a mountain. The three of them have been operating in this world for many years, and their main resources have been invested in this church."

The core of the World War lies in the direct clash of ultimate magic.

Locke's moonlight shone on the ecosystem. "Just follow the same approach as the previous World War. First, grant the mortals of the resistance organizations in this world the power of the Rangers."

Locke has built a more complete Ranger system this time.

Because his Ranger system had been developing for some time in the Louis plane, and had been continuously developing under the guidance of his disciple, Nicholas Shaw.

"The more numerous and of higher quality my ecological community, that is, the more leaves and trees blessed by the moonlight, the more power it can give to the forest ranger."

Leaves imbued with special power appeared on the treetops of the trees in the Heidelberg plane.

Locke called those leaves the "Leaves of Power".
