Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 713

Chapter 710 At this moment, there are only two things I don’t understand!

Locke stepped out of the magic realm and bumped into the Emperor, Wizard Smith, and Wizard Edgar.

The three had already made peace and were united against a common enemy.

They exchanged glances, all feeling immense pressure, because at this moment, Locke possessed the most powerful magical pressure in the world.

His advantage was even greater than the Emperor’s at the beginning.

In fact, it was much greater.

If the three of them couldn’t join forces now, they would be completely helpless.

But even if they joined forces, they might not be a match for Locke.

Locke smiled at the three who had joined forces and said directly, “Have the three of you decided to unite? Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”

“Although I can’t give you first place, I can decide who is second, who is third, and who is last.”

“I can decide when you will be eliminated by me.”

“Are you sure you want to join forces with a bunch of rabble instead of with me, the strongest?”

Locke’s words were like a thunderbolt, making this newly formed alliance precarious.

The Emperor’s gaze was resolute, his eyes seemingly spitting fire. He stood rooted to the spot, with tens of thousands of inspectors behind him.

Everyone in the alliance had a way out, but he had none.

Edgar the Wizard, upon hearing Locke’s words, didn’t even hesitate; he didn’t consider it at all, because his goal was the championship.

What was second place?

In his eyes, second place was meaningless.

He would fight for first place if he could.

But after hearing Locke’s words, Smith the Wizard immediately wavered. Smith’s

resolve wavered; he was almost convinced by Locke, but then he suddenly remembered the backup plan Medea the Witch had given him, and he suddenly felt reassured.

‘Although second place is acceptable to me, I haven’t reached the end of my rope yet. I still have two backup plans, and I think Edgar will have one too. I wonder if that native emperor has one.’

Smith the Wizard pondered, ‘So, I can still take a gamble. If I listen to Locke, he’ll probably immediately make me transfer my ultimate magic into his magical realm and submit to his control.’ “

I’ve completely lost hope of turning the tables. And there’s a problem.”

“Georgina Witch’s Fate Weaver – Great Magic is more important to him than my Great Magic – Meteor from Outer Space.” “

Even his magic realm shares some similarities with Edgar’s Great Magic.” Wizard Smith pondered, “If I surrender now, not only will I lose face in front of all the wizards in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands, but more

importantly, I might not have a good outcome.” “I don’t want to

end up at the bottom. So, I can’t surrender now. I need to be tough for a while and observe the situation. If things don’t look good, I’ll prove my worth to Locke and make him accept my surrender.” “

Smith pondered, ‘Moreover, Locke only has a large total magic pressure right now. The key is how well his Great Magic is constructed; nobody knows. While total magic pressure is important, the true determinant of strength is the construction of Great Magic. His magic pressure is only around 16,000, which is just three Great Magic Runes.’ ‘

But he’s only just become a Second Ring member; how many suitable Second Ring spell models does he have? He can’t fully unleash the power of 16,000 magic pressure. And if his Moon’s construction isn’t good, the combined strength of the three of us might be enough to defeat him.’

Smith thought, ‘So surrendering now isn’t the best time.’

Although Locke’s words hadn’t successfully divided them, they had already planted a shadow among the three.

Smith was wavering and decided to wait for a better offer.

The Emperor looked at Smith and Edgar with suspicion. In his eyes, these people were all from the Otherworld, and the possibility of them switching sides and uniting was very high.

After all, from what he had seen and heard, even that Smith wizard had switched sides countless times.”

Even the Emperor doesn’t know which side this Wizard Smith is on.

Edgar, however, doesn’t seem to care about Smith or the Emperor at all.

Edgar asked, “No need to say more. We’re all here to compete. We don’t have cowards who only want second place and not first.”

“No one would come to the Silent Grail Competition, in front of so many high-ring wizards and the entire Cloud Marsh Wetland, just wanting a mere second place. Locke, I ask you, what did you do to the witch Georgina?”

Wizard Smith also wanted to ask.

Since Locke summoned a world-class magic realm in this world, the map of this world has doubled in size.

But after the witch Georgina entered that magic realm, they couldn’t sense her magical pressure.

The magic realm and the real world are, after all, two different worlds.

So both of them had doubts.

Locke smiled and said, “Georgina is doing well in the magic realm. If you two want to know about her situation, you can go in and see for yourselves.”

A magic realm gate unfolded behind Locke. As long as the two of them entered it, they could immediately leave the real world and enter the magic realm.

Wizard Smith sneered, “Who doesn’t know that’s your territory? If we go in, do you think we’ll survive?”

Locke said, “This realm is public. Just like the real world, it belongs to everyone. The amount of territory you occupy determines how much of it is yours. I’ve occupied a large portion of it, so that realm can be called Locke’s Realm.”

“You can occupy territory there, and you can also occupy a portion of the realm,”

Locke said generously, spreading his right hand to indicate they could enter. “You can go in and try,”

Wizard Smith said, looking at Locke warily. ‘If it were me, I would have already taken over that special world. There must be a trap set inside; as soon as my enemies walk in, I’ll capture them.’

‘Locke keeps trying to get us in; there must be some trickery involved. I absolutely won’t go in unless absolutely necessary.’ The

Emperor looked at Locke and said, “You’ve gone through so much trouble to create such a vast realm, and you’re telling me you’re going to make it public? Do you think the three of us are three-year-olds?!”

Locke replied, “Why not?”

“The right thing only works when it’s in the right hands. Even in a direct competition, you’ll only lose to me.”

“Why wouldn’t I make it public?”

Edgar looked at Locke and said, “Enough with the nonsense. I’m not interested in your Dharma Realm. Because I have one too, and I think mine is better.”

The wizard Edgar chanted a spell, and instantly, the thousand-meter-tall Shadow Fern appeared behind him. Simultaneously, the Land of All Spirits descended, merging with the mortal realm.

Instantly, a ghostly aura filled the air, and countless magical vines stretched out from the Land of All Spirits, attacking Locke.

[Nether Armor Vines], [Soul-Eating Vines], [Wailing Thorns], [Soul-Slaying Vines], [Humus-Entangling Vines]…

But before these apprentice-level or first-ring magical plants could even get close to Locke, Locke’s Moon of Evolution shone upon them.

In an instant, the veins of these magical plants’ leaves and flower buds glowed with a blue-silver gradient of magical light.

The magical plants receiving the light of the Moon of Evolution were essentially integrated into its ecosystem.

Therefore, Locke could control these magical plants in turn.

The wizard Edgar laughed heartily, manipulating his ultimate magic. “Is that all? These magical vines are guardians of the Land of All Spirits. Even after joining your ecosystem, they will still guard the Land of All Spirits.”

“Your ultimate magic isn’t a forceful control type of magic; that’s not your nature. So, it’s useless.”

Locke smiled. “I just wanted to observe, because there are only two things I don’t understand about this world.”

“First, why haven’t you summoned your helpers?”

“Second, why is this world destined for doom?”

The next moment, Locke’s Evolution Moon mixed the spirituality of Tyrant Essence No. 2 into the moonlight, shining it upon the magical vines. These magical vines instantly became Tyrant Essence, and because they lacked the cell complex of the Clear Sky Birch, they were all poisoned by Tyrant Essence No. 2.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of magical vines died.

Tyrant Essence No. 2, Abyss Potion, and Zero Potion—he had already placed these three potions into the Evolution Moon.

Essentially, the core magical energy of the Evolution Moon is only one: the [Connection] ability of the Moon Mirror.

He could connect the spirit of one thing with the spirit of another magical plant, that is, he could bestow something upon a magical plant with moonlight.

At this moment, he bestowed the No. 2 Overlord Essence upon the magical vines in Edgar’s Land of All Spirits, and as a result, those magical vines began to die violently within a very short time.

After their death, these plant spirits returned to the Land of All Spirits with the No. 2 Overlord Essence, which then polluted the Land of All Spirits, causing a large number of plant spirits and magical plants within the Land of All Spirits to die violently.

Edgar the Wizard’s expression changed slightly.

He had long known that Locke was so powerful; otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly joined forces with his rivals.

Within the Land of All Spirits, the most powerful guardian of the Land of All Spirits, the most powerful in the ecological community, the [Eight Buddha Claw Vine], was a second-ring magical plant.

It was enormous.

Lying quietly within Edgar the Wizard’s Land of All Spirits, it was a magical plant spirit that Edgar the Wizard had summoned from the Emerald Dream and planted during a rare moment of leisure after entering this world.

The Land of All Spirits gradually blurred the lines between the plant spirits and the plant itself.

The Eight-Clawed Vine, resembling an ancient serpent, stretched across the Land of All Spirits. Each of its eight massive main vines resembled a hidden serpent within the Land.

Wizard Smith hadn’t realized that Wizard Edgar had been keeping this a secret all along.

The Eight-Clawed Vine was a powerful plant within the second ring, said to only appear at the boundary between life and death.

Its core ability was to absorb life force and transform it into seven uses. For example, it could convert the absorbed life force into high-intensity magical pressure on its surface, forming Vajra Vines. Other uses included

healing itself, transferring the absorbed life force to others, or giving it to plant spirits to revive certain plants.

In short, the Eight-Clawed Vine was an extremely powerful second-ring plant.

This plant extended eight main branches towards Locke, but the moonlight passively emanating from Locke’s Evolution Moon shone on it, completely ignoring it.

The passive moonlight of the Evolution Moon was insufficient to directly control and pull a second-ring magical plant into its ecosystem.

The No. 2 Tyrant Essence sent by the passive moonlight of the Evolution Moon was insufficient to inflict Tyrant Toxin on the Eight-Buddha Claw Vine.

Locke said, “The biggest difference between us is the difference in the total amount of magical pressure.”

At this moment, the full moon behind Locke gradually rotated, and then the Moon Peach on the full moon transformed into a large bow, a beam of moonlight descending upon the Eight-Buddha Claw Vine.

In an instant, the entire Eight-Buddha Claw Vine was bathed in a blue-silver gradient magical radiance, and Locke pulled the Eight-Buddha Claw Vine into its ecosystem!

The inherent characteristics of the Moon Plane—the Dark Side of the Moon—combined with magical plants, could create Moon Plants, which in turn allowed Locke to combine the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow with the spell model of the Evolution Moon.

In this way, the Evolution Moon effectively had two modes.

The positive side of the Moon was passive moonlight, a gentle moonlight that did not forcibly control or evolve magical plants.

The dark side of the moon actively uses ultimate magic, unleashing moonlight like cannons, employing Peach Blossom Thorn Arrows to gather and shoot forth a massive amount of moonlight. Once it hits, even a second-ring magical plant will be affected and controlled by its ultimate magic.

Of course, for an ordinary second-ring, using ultimate magic once is essentially equivalent to depleting their total magical pressure.

This is also true for Locke, because his ultimate magic is still in the initial forging stage, not the second forging stage (Star Ring), and he cannot freely control the amount.

Therefore, he cannot achieve the perfect balance, and each release results in an overdose.

But at this moment, the Moon of Evolution illuminates the entire Dharma Realm, and in just one breath, it completely restores the magical pressure depleted by using ultimate magic.

The Eight Buddha Claw Vines, due to the moon cannon earlier, contained too much No. 2 Tyrant Element, and began to produce Tyrant Toxin, constantly struggling in place, causing the entire Land of All Spirits to begin to collapse.

At the same time, Wizard Smith suddenly attacked him, directly using one of his two trump cards. A massive meteorite was hurled down from the demiplane cluster of the Celestial Meteor, upon which crawled a beetle the size of a small mountain. This was an Astral Worm, one

of the second-ring level Astral creatures [Astral Beasts] summoned from the Astral Plane by the Celestial Meteor!

Because the main structure of the Great Magic Celestial Meteor, which Wizard Smith had constructed for this Silent Grail War, was the Worm constellation structure, it could summon numerous insect-like Astral Beasts from the Astral Plane.

His Starlight Projection, infused with Great Magic Runes, amplified this projection effect.

Furthermore, the essence of the Celestial Meteor wasn’t simply dropping meteorites from the sky, but rather summoning Astral Beasts from the Astral Plane and using meteorites to transport them from the Astral Plane into a world.

Locke, witnessing this, was not surprised. “Smith, you finally used it. I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

Wizard Smith looked genuinely surprised.

Had Locke already calculated that his ultimate magic possessed this ability?

How did he know?

If he had, had he already prepared a countermeasure?

Had he fallen into a trap again?

For a moment, Wizard Smith was in turmoil, his vision blurred, and he became as timid as a mouse.
