Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 309

Chapter 307 Life’s Counterattack

In the potion resource storage of Lilith’s hut, Wizard Francis looked at the five dark wizards who had stopped attacking with confusion.

At the same time, he saw three ghost brides wearing exaggerated black wedding dresses standing behind the dark wizard.

Wizard Francis tried to use plant magic to attack the three brides, but the Bell Flower King’s [Cannon Fireworks] passed through their bodies without any effect.

Wizard Francis’ eyes widened. “How is that possible?”

“What is this thing? It’s neither an undead nor a cursed creature. It ignored my magical attacks.”

The three ghost brides paused for a moment around the life force field, and then, in front of Consultant Francis’ shocked gaze, they actually raised their legs, took a step, and walked straight in.

The three ghost brides’ behavior of passing through the life force field almost shocked Senior Advisor Francis so much that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

“How does this work? The life force field has its own anti-undead force field. It’s impossible for it to have no effect on undead creatures. Cursed creatures will also be repelled by the life force field. The life force field is formed by stimulating life energy. This energy exists in the body of a certain life form. It’s just a matter of the strength of these life forms.”

Wizard Francis quickly stepped back and ordered several of his students to also step back and not approach the three ghost brides. “Stand back, stand back.”

“What on earth is this? The Blood Curse Tribunal actually still has something like this in its possession.”

“No, they can’t precisely control this thing either. It seems they can only give crude commands, so these ghost brides can only move in one direction. Even after entering the barrier, they neither attacked me nor took the opportunity to destroy the life force field generator, allowing the three dark wizards outside to enter.”

“If I’m not mistaken, these ghost brides were simply given the order to move in a certain direction. If that’s all, then there’s still some fun to be had.”

The three dark wizards outside the small life force field all laughed.

“Francis, don’t be so stubborn. With your abilities, why not just abandon these students and resources and run away?”

Advisor Francis looked at them and snorted. “Even if I tell you, you dark wizards won’t understand.”

Advisor Francis was anxious and said, “Locke, now it’s up to you. As long as you can reopen the barrier, all problems can be solved.”

…

On the other side, the old witch Forbes looked at the ghost brides who had broken into the alchemy hut protected by the life barrier, her eyes widened, “How is this possible?”

“What are these things?”

She atomized a bottle of emerald green potion and injected it into the body of a ghost bride. Immediately, the ghost bride’s body began to twist and her face began to swell, but after a while, it returned to its original shape and continued to move forward, walking in a mechanical pace.

As the official potion master, the old witch Forbes looked serious. “What kind of thing is this? It can actually ignore the Emerald Green Potion.”

“Calm down. No one attacked me immediately anyway.”

Old Witch Forbes looked at the various first-ring potions piled like garbage in the alchemy hut behind her and said, “I’ll try them one by one. I don’t believe there’s no potion that can work on this thing. Even if I have to use exhaustive methods, I’ll find a potion that works on you.”

…

Inside the underground defense facility, after entering, Locke followed the direction indicated by Witch Gabriel and went to the lowest level of the defense facility.

Witch Gabriel briefed Locke on the situation outside. “This is the current situation, Locke.”

“Now there is a ghost bride who has also passed through the magic door and entered this underground facility and is searching for you.”

“Since it can ignore life fields, I don’t know if it can harm official wizards.”

“Currently, there is no record of the Ghost Bride engaging in battle with any of our wizards.”

Locke entered the core control room of the facility. Surprisingly, he saw Angron here.

At this time, Angron was sitting in the corner with red eyes and holding his head. He was frightened when he saw Locke, and became even more emotional after feeling Locke’s magic pressure.

“Don’t come over here!”

“It’s not my fault, it’s not my fault!”

Angron roared, his eyes red. “Locke Augustine, do you know how it feels to be the center of attention?”

“When I first started school, Mr. Harun Vera looked at me like a horse breeder spotting a brilliant horse.”

“No matter what I did, he always looked at me with a smile in his eyes. But after you came, everything changed. Teacher Harun looked at you with the same eyes he used to look at me.”

Angron gritted his teeth and roared, “This situation has become like this because of you.”

“I just want to regain the affirmation of Teacher Harun Vera, that’s all. So I can only go to those dark wizards and hope they can share some data with me.”

“Again and again. Originally, I only wanted to try it briefly, but at that time, you became a student of Master Harun Vera.” Angron said madly, “You drove me crazy.”

“I just want to be excellent, better than everyone else. I just have to be better than you all. Why can’t you all let me do what I want?”

“Why!!!”

Locke frowned. “Are you seeking the truth just to gain the approval of others?”

“But I’m just doing it out of my own interest.”

“This is your own problem. It has nothing to do with me. What does it matter to me whether you are good or not? I only care about whether I can explore what I want to know.”

There was a flash of madness in Angron’s eyes, and he actually rushed directly towards Locke, wanting to fight with the official wizard, but the next moment, Locke directly launched the life force field permanent defense magic, knocked him away, and knocked Angron out, causing him to faint on the ground.

Locke didn’t look at him, but at the device in front of him that was full of buttons. Angron had managed to destroy some of the devices, but he was just a wizard apprentice with limited knowledge. Witch Gabriel said in the Nibelungen system that the destroyed buttons were unimportant.

Witch Gabriel said, “First, place your palm on the core crystal ball of the life force field.”

That was something Angron had no power to destroy.

Locke walked up and placed his palm on it. Suddenly, his consciousness was infinitely elevated, as if he could overlook the land and the entire ecology of the port city of Lilith Cottage.

He could see that those ecosystems were converging their own life energy towards this large life force field generating device, but this large life force field was turned off.

But at the same time, he found that it was impossible to start it directly now, because the original life force field relied on the life energy flow of the ecosystem created by Lilith’s cottage to expand the force field, but now the plants in the entire ecosystem are on strike, and the entire earth has been cursed to become a cursed land. The dead souls have been twisted into cursed spirits, and the ghost brides are all over this cursed land, running around as if they were in an empty land.

At this moment, the life force of the entire land was suppressed to the lowest point!
“Hmm, that’s not right.” Locke said in surprise: “I thought the curse power had completely suppressed the natural ecology of this land, but I didn’t expect there would be a turning point.”

“This is……”

Through the crystal ball, Locke noticed that the ecology of the entire Lilith Hut had indeed been completely suppressed, but at this moment, there were actually some moss plants that were trying hard to resist the torrent of cursed energy.

They were simply too weak, their forces in disarray, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However, because these mosses were numerous and scattered, their vitality was strong, and their small size made them difficult to target. Consequently, they slipped through the Blood Curse Tribunal’s previous curse attacks and became a functioning part of the ecosystem.

“It’s fine if they’ve dodged the curse, but didn’t the Blood Curse Court bribe this land before? How come these mosses aren’t affected?” Locke fell into thought. “Wait a minute, I know why. The Blood Curse Court’s model missed something.”

“In an ecosystem, the plants that are most likely to gain energy are trees, followed by herbs, vines, and ferns. Plants like mosses and lichens simply can’t compete with other types of plants, so they probably didn’t gain any energy from their previous bribes.”

Locke’s expression became odd, and his understanding of ecology became more diverse. “The ecosystem created by Lilith’s cabin is much more resilient than I imagined.”
