Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 721

Chapter 718 Disc-shaped Creatures and Terrifying Assimilation Abilities

Locke saw a familiar blue ring in the man’s pupils, but the shape of this blue light was different from the perfect blue ring of the disc Gromdal; this blue light ring was incomplete,

resembling an Ω pattern.

Suddenly, a blue light burst forth in the middle-aged man’s eyes, as if that blue light had become eternal.

‘Beyond humanity, there are even more profound mysteries.’

‘You and I come from the same place; we have come seeking the aura of the wizarding world. Express your submission to me; I am the wizarding world!’

‘Beyond wizards, there are even more profound mysteries!’

Beside the Silent Throne, in the audience seats of the three fourth-ring wizards, the Truth Wizard, the Silent Witch, showed no change, seemingly unsurprised by the appearance of this disc creature revealed in the competition.

The astral projection avatar of the Truth Wizard from Green Steel City let out a sneer. “Every time I see the discs, I think they’re adorable.”

Meanwhile, many wizard viewers were now realizing that the Silent Throne had been unlocked of its secrets.

“In previous Silent Grail Wars, the participants fought while the disc-shaped creature amassed power on the sidelines. By the time the participants discovered it, it had become incredibly powerful and irreversible. Thus, in many Silent Grail Wars, the disc-shaped creature devoured everything, even the participants. Therefore, we don’t even know the name of the disc-shaped creature in each tournament; it seems to be an entity that has never interacted with the Wizarding World.”

“It’s probably the kind of disc-shaped creature that searches for things related to the Wizarding World in the endless void, rather than one that seeks to return to the Wizarding World. These disc-shaped creatures track things related to the Wizarding World. Its appearance in that world now is likely due to the seed of civilization sent there during the Enlightenment.”

“Not necessarily. After all, it couldn’t directly smell the location of the seed of civilization. Something in that plane must have summoned it for it to discover this plane.”

“Because of the magic of the Silent Witch, Truth, we didn’t realize the existence of the disc-shaped creature in this tournament.”

“The abilities of the disc-shaped creatures are quite complex, but generally speaking, the more decayed a world is, the stronger the disc-shaped creatures become. Typically, by the time they appear in a competition, several participants have fought to the very end, and the world is already shattered. Therefore, at that time, the disc-shaped creatures can easily invade the Silent Dimension and become exceptionally powerful, far surpassing the strength of an ordinary second-ring wizard.”

“Especially this disc-shaped creature; its true form seems to be at least at the lunar ring level. To an ordinary second-ring wizard, it’s like a colossus. The difference between the two is at least the difference between intermediate and minor divine power.”

“However, this time, the appearance of the Silent Grail Plane seems much more complete than the previous one. Moreover, the total magical pressure of this Silent Grail Plane has successfully doubled! Therefore, after the appearance of the disc-shaped creatures this time, it did not lead to the kind of irreversible situation that existed in the past.”

In the viewing area of Kungudin Academy, Wizard Mike looked up at the disc-shaped creature in the Silent Grail Plane that appeared in the pupils of mortals, and said in astonishment, “This is the first time I have seen creatures formed from the extreme ecological fragments abandoned by the wizarding world, disc-shaped creatures. Are those disc-shaped creatures?” “They

actually appeared directly on the retina of mortals. This… method is indeed bizarre. That strange light seems to penetrate everywhere, and seems to be full of destructive power.”

Wizard Mike felt uncomfortable all over. Just seeing that blue light made his scalp tingle, as if all the magic power in his body had become extreme under the reflection of that light, and the degree of energy dissipation would increase out of thin air.

The disc-shaped creatures originate from the wizarding world, representing an extreme form of natural ecology abandoned by that world.

A great catastrophe occurred in the wizarding world, and in the long afterward, nature became extreme and repulsive to life, resulting in the disc-shaped creatures.

Wherever this extreme ecology appears, it invades and erodes that environment.

The strength of the disc-shaped creatures is directly related to their own physical strength and the current state of the world they inhabit.

At this moment, because the Silent Grail Plane has been essentially strengthened, the disc-shaped creature Locke encountered was not the despair-inducingly powerful one seen in previous Silent Grail Tournaments.

Nevertheless, Locke felt that under the blue light, the dissipation of his magical power was constantly increasing.

All his magical power seemed to have lost its control; even his spell models were becoming uncontrollable due to the increased dissipation.

‘This disc-shaped creature seems even more troublesome than the one I saw before,’ Locke frowned.

Gromdal is a grassland covered in inorganic matter, but its aggression shouldn’t be this strong. The disc-shaped creature before him, for some reason, seems to possess an unusual influence on everything in the Silent Dimension.

Locke summoned a Golden-Eyed Grass, holding it in front of him to block the blue light halo.

The Duke of Westminster, upon seeing the blue light, seemed extremely panicked. “Your Majesty Zoro, is that you? You’ve returned?”

Locke frowned, and through the connection of the mental network, saw the scene appearing before the Duke of Westminster.

It was an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

Surrounded by an eerie blue light, he stood expressionless before the Duke of Westminster, coldly staring at him, as if silently condemning him.

The Duke retreated repeatedly. “Your Majesty Zoro, you’ve finally returned. Don’t misunderstand me; I was merely safeguarding your throne before your return. You will always be the only emperor in this world.” The

next moment, Locke acted, and the illusion resembling Zoro instantly shattered into pieces.

A ring leaped from the fragment.

It was an eerie blue light.

The Duke of Westminster immediately realized what it was. “It’s the illusion mentioned in the report. This blue light could never have affected me before. How could it… now affect my mind!”

Locke glanced at him. “Duke, you’re actually affected by it?”

This is strange.

The disc-shaped creatures represent an extreme natural ecosystem over a long period. Even with powerful possession abilities, it’s impossible for a second-ring creature to fall into an illusion. This is

because their possession abilities are essentially the erosive power of an extreme natural ecosystem, a manifestation of ecological erosion.

Strictly speaking, this isn’t even an ability from the Mind School or the Enchanting School, but rather the concept of [Ecological Erosion] within the Life School!

Moreover, the Duke of Westminster used the Mind Network, leaning towards the Mind School to become a second-ring.

The entire Gene Lock system is a power system biased towards the Mind School!

How could it corrupt a second-ring being skilled in manipulating mental power?

Locke instantly thought of many things. ‘This disc-shaped creature can influence the Grand Duke; this can’t be explained simply by its power surpassing Gromdal.’

The Grand Duke of Westminster bowed to Locke. ‘My Majesty.’

‘Originally, it shouldn’t have been able to influence me, but I don’t know why, this thing can. Perhaps my power has recently declined too much.’

‘It’s not just your problem,’ Locke said. ‘The more the homeland declines, the more deaths occur, the stronger the negative energy becomes, and the stronger the disc-shaped creature becomes.’

‘It must be because of the previous clash between the five of us second-ring beings. In the process, too many disasters were caused, leading this disc-shaped creature to take advantage of the opportunity to secretly grow stronger.’

Especially the battle between Edgar and the Emperor, which resulted in too many deaths.

This undoubtedly allowed the disc-shaped creature hiding in the shadows to develop significantly.

The Grand Duke of Westminster murmured, ‘It has quietly grown so large.’

Locke frowned as he looked at the blue light.

But even so, it couldn’t explain its ability to influence the Grand Duke’s power.

Similarly, this disc-shaped creature’s power even attempted to influence him.

It tried to influence him the moment they met.

Could it influence other second-ring wizards?

Could it possess other wizards, or even himself, as it had possessed Albert?

What would happen if this disc-shaped creature succeeded?

At this moment, the eerie blue ring Ω rose into the air, continuously emitting strange blue light, approaching Locke.

The Golden Eye Grass in front of Locke reflected all the strange blue light back.

In the sea of eerie blue light, a golden ray of light remained unmoved, like a pillar stabilizing the sea.

Locke chanted a spell: “First-Circle Botanical Magic – Photosynthesis!”

The Golden-Eyed Grass absorbed the eerie blue light from the disc-shaped creature and then reflected it back, forcing the Ω-shaped blue light ring to retreat half a step.

Under the enhancement of the ultimate magic, Moon of Evolution, its own first-circle magic, Photosynthesis, was also greatly strengthened.

The Grand Duke looked at Locke with suspicion. “Your Majesty, why didn’t you use your true power?”

He was probably referring to the fact that Locke had deliberately avoided using Moon of Evolution, instead using ultimate magic to enhance his ordinary first-circle defensive botanical magic.

He had intentionally avoided using ultimate magic on the eerie blue light.

Locke pondered, “This thing’s influence on the Silent Plane seems to exceed the disc-shaped creature’s capabilities. Until I figure that out, it’s better to avoid using ultimate magic on it directly.” “

Actually, the best time to deal with it was at the very beginning. That should be when it’s at its weakest.”

“Trying to deal with it now is too late.”

Of course, he couldn’t be too hard on himself.

Because when everyone first entered this plane, they were all suppressed by the Emperor, and each of them risked being expelled from the plane by the Emperor.

By the time they finally unleashed their ultimate magic and were no longer threatened by the Emperor, they had already entered a stage of mutual struggle, and every participant was at risk of elimination.

For example, Wizard Smith had already been eliminated.

Therefore, at that time, no one had time to care about the disc creatures.

Could it be that the disc creatures were the cause of this world’s inevitable destruction?

Locke fell into deep thought.

The disc creatures did indeed have the ability to destroy a world.

That made sense.

But wouldn’t the Silent Witch have the ability to deal with the invasion of a disc creature?

Regardless, he had finally found the reason why the people of this world couldn’t leave the light source at night.

At this moment, the blue halo seemed to be provoking him, continuing to appear before Locke, mocking: ‘You can’t destroy me.’

‘I am a higher mystery than a wizard.’

‘You cannot destroy me.’

At this moment, the Duke of Westminster suddenly attacked, a psychic shockwave shattering the blue light.

“Provoking His Majesty deserves death.”

The next moment, the middle-aged man in the prison also fell to the ground, dead.

With the death of the possessed man, the blue light disappeared.

But soon, a blue halo reappeared in the prison.

‘You cannot kill me.’

The Duke of Westminster roared in fury. “Provoking His Majesty deserves death. Die, all of you!”

He used his telekinesis to kill them one by one; whenever the blue light appeared in the retina of a monster prisoner, he would twist their neck with his telekinesis.

But the blue halo continued to appear.

‘As long as someone’s retina detects my presence, they will be assimilated by me.’

‘Guess how many people I’ve assimilated right now?’

‘You cannot kill me.’

‘I am destined to win; conquering this world is only a matter of time!’

The Duke of Westminster, his eyes bloodshot, continued to use his telekinesis to twist the necks of the prisoners.

At this moment, he was shocked to discover that Locke was actually attacking him. “Your Majesty, I am a loyal subject. I was upholding your dignity. Why did Your Majesty attack me?”

Locke said. “Grand Duke, you have already killed all the monster prisoners in this tower.”

The Grand Duke of Westminster’s eyes widened. “Impossible. If you killed them all, then what is this blue halo that appeared before Your Majesty, and what is this lively prisoner?”

“Wait…”

The Grand Duke immediately realized something.

At this moment, all the illusions before his eyes disappeared. There were no prisoners, no blue halo, and the person standing in front of him was Locke.

In other words, he had just mistaken Locke for a prisoner and was about to attack him.

But there were no prisoners here, so why did he still see illusions?

“Your Majesty, I did not mean it.” The Grand Duke of Westminster immediately knelt on one knee before Locke.

Locke looked at the Grand Duke, lost in thought.

The disc-shaped creature had just demonstrated an ability that violated the principles of soul science.

Assimilate a soul?

That’s impossible.

That violates the basic principles of soul science.

The mind can be guided, intentions can be enchanted, thoughts can be influenced, but a soul cannot be assimilated.

Besides, the opponent could also manipulate a second-circle being whose power system leaned towards the psychic school using mental power.

This was too bizarre.

Therefore, such incredible abilities meant the opponent was definitely playing tricks, lying.

For this reason, it was best not to use ultimate magic in front of it until he understood why it possessed these abilities.

Locke pondered, “I’m afraid that in the latter half of the Ultimate Magic Modeling Competition, as is customary, the enemy of all participants will be this already developed disc-shaped creature.”

“But I don’t believe anything it says. Disc-shaped creatures couldn’t possibly have the ability to assimilate others.”

“Why is it that this disc-shaped creature can simultaneously influence both me and the Emperor in front of me?”

Locke glanced at the Golden Eye Grass in front of him.
