Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 483

Chapter 481: The Decline Before Advancing to the Second Ring

The face of the Great Wizard Sura appeared in the True Vision Crystal. Apparently, the Great Wizard Sura had once placed his face against the True Vision Crystal and whispered something. “Is Locke looking at this crystal?”

“I’ve been getting increasingly fearful and uneasy lately. I always feel like I’m missing something. As my demonic pressure continues to impact my soul, my advancement is urgent.”

“But the more this happens, the more uneasy I become. I always feel like there’s a hostile gaze watching me from a corner I can’t see.”

The Great Wizard Sura clutched his hair, seemingly in extreme mental distress. “I suspect my paranoia has intensified to the point of causing hallucinations.”

Locke realized through the True Vision Crystal that there were probably two reasons why the great wizard Sura was in so much pain.

First, the magic of the prophecy school was interfering with the great wizard Sura, trying to weaken his condition and weaken his mind.

But originally, even if this prophecy magic could gather the luck of the entire wizard plane, it could never have such a serious impact on a transcendent, or a wizard who had reached the extreme state of a transcendent.

The second reason is the most important.

That is, after the soul of the great wizard Sura reached its limit, his magical power continued to impact his soul, and his soul had been severely weakened.

For those who have reached their limits, power is no longer an accessory on the road to pursuing truth, but a heavy burden.

It’s like a three-year-old child wearing a heavy crown. If he’s not careful, he’ll fall down, and the crown will pierce his throat, crush his skull, cut his skin, and kill him.

The power of the great wizard Sura has seriously exceeded the limit of what his soul can bear. Under the suppression of that power, his soul has become extremely fragile and is in danger of collapsing at any time. Therefore, even the great wizard Sura, who has a very strong mind, began to waver in mind due to the weakening of his soul itself.

In addition, under the influence of the prophetic magic, the great wizard Sura began to completely doubt himself.

Locke frowned. “This situation is very wrong.”

“If Great Wizard Sura wants to advance to the second ring in this state, he will have already lost half of his battle before he even succeeds.”

“After reaching its limit, does continuing to grow become just a burden? If that’s the case, then no matter who you are, your condition before reaching the second ring won’t be very good. After all, humans are made up of both material and spiritual attributes. If your soul power is damaged, your character will naturally be damaged as well. With a damaged character, all your choices will be wrong, and you’ll always be one step behind others.”

“If this happened at any other time, it would be fine, but it had to happen at this crucial moment of advancement to the second ring.”

“In other words, before advancing to the second-ring wizard, the wizard’s power will decrease instead of increase, entering a period of decline.”

Locke immediately realized that the enormous difficulty of advancing to the second ring was different from the advancement of the three small levels in the first ring stage.

The promotion to these three small levels is a journey of rapid progress, accumulating strength all the way and moving forward.

However, when advancing to the second ring, the wizard’s condition is often not very good. Even the wizard’s most proud wisdom will be affected by the soul reaching its limit.

The wizard needs to overcome the greatest difficulty when he is in the worst condition. This is completely different from all previous breakthrough logic.

This shows how great the danger of secondary transcendence is.

That would be the second time he surpassed the limits of his own race’s soul, reaching an impossible level of magic pressure for an individual, possessing magic pressure comparable to the level of natural phenomena.

Of course, the situation of the great wizard Sura was particularly serious, because before he was promoted, he used the Dark Cave Scorpion Girl to absorb the magic tide and gather it into his own soul, which further aggravated the phenomenon. As a result, from the perspective of the True Vision Crystal, his soul was already full of cracks.

In the True Vision Crystal, the great wizard Sura ordered his thirty-two mages to search for the demons, and through the thirty-two native mages who could cast various elemental magics of the first-ring Shaping School and possessed “territory”, they continuously wiped out the demon clan, narrowed the scope of the demonic energy, and finally determined the location of the demon clan.

It was at the bottom of a crater, where the twisted earth energy was nurturing a magma-like egg.

The surface of the golden magma egg’s shell was covered with lava cracks, and the magma fell drop by drop. As it landed on the rock, it immediately burned out bursts of thick smoke.

The great wizard Sura thrust a silver dart with blood vein patterns directly into the eggshell.

In the scene, the Great Wizard Sura was overjoyed. His previously calm demeanor was now broken, and now that his soul was riven with cracks, he could no longer contain his joy. “Uriel, I won after all.”

“In the end, I won.”

“I win!”

“Your egg, meant to spawn the Ultimate Demon, is only about 99% complete. What a shame! You’re just one step away from spawning the body of a Second Ring Demon. That’s your masterpiece as a prosthetics master. Twist the elements of the earth to form the Children of the Fallen Earth, reverse the cycle of life energy, and intercept the flow of life and death. Place the twisted earth between life and death, becoming the underworld you envision for gathering all wronged souls. This is your true purpose in creating the Twisted Earth Demon race.”

The demonic energy behind the egg loomed, forming the appearance of a middle-aged man. “Sura, have you read my article published in Spiral?”

The Great Wizard Sura couldn’t suppress a smile. “I’ve read every article, every word. I was happy for you forging your own path, then I was terrified, then angry, and now it all turns to joy.”

“Without the demon race, there is finally no one to interfere. I will attract the attention of the world’s power.”

“And this embryo of yours, the ultimate demon, can be used by me.” The great wizard Sura brushed his right hand over the embryo with the dart stuck in it, and immediately, streams of blood energy essence gathered towards his body.

“Although at this point, no matter how much I strengthen my body, it will be difficult to increase my upper limit. But as long as I can absorb the blood energy of you, the ultimate demon, it should be able to alleviate my symptoms.”

“That’s a bargain for me.”

Uriel chuckled. “It’s hard to believe that a cunning fellow like you could be so frank right now. Don’t get too excited, Sura. Such high emotions don’t mean you’re strong. On the contrary, they’re proof of your weakness.”

The Great Wizard Sura coldly observed his demonic aura. “Uriel, I’ve already won. Whatever grudges we have, they no longer matter.”

“While I don’t want to kill you yet, take your soul and leave this body.”

“This is the last mercy I will give you.”

Uriel looked at the Great Wizard Sura with cold eyes. “Have you forgotten something?”

“Um?”
