Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 739

Chapter 736, Fifth Product: Second-Ring Magical Plant: Blood Wave Pineapple Wizard Shoes!

Locke turned and chased after the Crimson Deep Court black wizard. The black wizard, seeing Locke pursuing him, gritted his teeth, and another crimson river appeared behind him.

That river stretched out like an eight-thousand-mile-long Tongtian River,

rushing towards Locke.

In an instant, Locke found himself seemingly shrunk, appearing in the river of blood, surrounded by churning blood like a raging torrent, threatening to plunge him to the bottom.

Locke took out the Wish-Giving Ganoderma from his Astral Ring, then activated the Water Hyacinth System, entering the simplified digital library of the Golden Crown Mountain within it.

That library was only built in the last ten years; it didn’t have much information, but it was free and quick to access.

Locke entered the library and immediately accessed the Crimson Deep Court’s information.

The next moment, a crimson, monstrous wave crashed towards Locke, his ears filled with countless sounds—extreme screams and savage cries, the sound of hammers shattering bones.

“The Crimson Deep… its unique magical realm is divided into three rivers: the River of Pain, the River of v*olence, and the River of Blood, corresponding to pain, injury, and savagery. These three rivers converge and flow into what they call the Ocean of Truth. That is the abode of their so-called Supreme God. These madmen worship an evil entity they themselves have fabricated.”

Locke noticed that the free electronic library specifically mentioned that due to the Five Great Wars, many wizarding academies in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands had established research programs on the Crimson Deep, and many wizards were trying to determine what the dark wizards of the Crimson Deep worshipped.

Opinions varied widely.

Some wizarding articles believed it was a demon god from another dimension, possessing a soul essence equivalent to that of a Truth Wizard.

Some wizards’ writings suggest that the Crimson King is an ultimate being created by the holy wizards of Hoffman University, the predecessor of Crimson Deep, and is not a deity, thus having no connection to gods.

On Mount Golden Crown, some third-ring wizards suspect that the so-called Crimson King is actually a wizard, assuming he is a “Crimson Wizard.”

If so, his actions would be quite evil.

The wizards on Mount Golden Crown hold this assumption because their research in the School of Life is very in-depth, and through tracing the Crimson King’s spirituality, they discovered traces of multiple reincarnations.

In short, research on the Crimson King worshipped by Crimson Deep has never stopped, and even now, white wizards cannot fully determine what the Crimson King truly is.

The quality and quantity of information in the digital free library are limited, and this is a last-minute effort, so Locke only glanced at it to understand the enemy before him.

After all, for wizards, information is power.

Locke glanced at the description of the Crimson Rivers and confirmed that the river before him was indeed the River of Tyranny. All the water flowing within it was a special spiritual torrent, imbued with various forms of v*olence and martial worship.

It was a realm formed by combining three-dimensional spatial coordinates with one-dimensional spiritual coordinates.

This river would engulf all living beings, dragging them into the Land of Tyranny. In this place, the sacred weapon spells, sacred servant spells, and sacred discipline spells of the Crimson Deeper Garden would all be enhanced.

Furthermore, ordinary wizard apprentices, upon entering this river, were easily overwhelmed by the spiritual energy of the eight-thousand-mile-long River of Tyranny, rendered senseless and dazed, swept into the River of Tyranny and plunged into the deeper regions of the Crimson Deeper Garden.

Even first-ring and second-ring wizards entering would have their souls gradually tainted by the River of Tyranny.

In short, for formal wizards, this river was a filthy river that would pollute their power and soul.

Locke, through research, confirmed one thing: the other party summoned the River of Tyranny not just to escape, trap him, and buy time, but because, theoretically, this river was part of the Crimson Deeper.

Being part of it meant the other party could use it to return directly to the Crimson Deeper!

Clearly, the dark wizard wanted to summon the River of Tyranny and return to his homeland.

Locke smirked and used the first-ring spell, Sound of Plants, to amplify his voice.

“Sir, since you’re here, why rush to leave? You are a guest from afar, and as your host, I have something I wish to borrow!”

The next moment, the second-ring Sea Gold Sand transformed into a bolt of lightning, piercing through the towering waves.

For other magical plants, the River of Tyranny might cause spiritual pollution, suppressing and contaminating their power, but for the Sea Gold Sand, which had been exposed to the Moon of Evolution and experienced a backflow of dimensional information, this was also its home ground!

Therefore, after Locke locked onto the dark wizard using the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat’s pupil magic, he decisively used the botanical spell “A Lone Tree Cannot Support It.”

The second-ring sea gold sand shot out like a bolt of crimson lightning, cleaving through the blood waves and striking the second-ring dark wizard.

Just as the second-ring dark wizard was about to escape the area along the river, he felt himself locked onto by a magical pressure. Looking back, he was terrified.

“His magical plant is in the River of Tyranny, why is it completely unaffected?”

“In fact, it has become even stronger!”

The second-ring dark wizard only had time to summon a shield covered in rivets, inlaid with a piece of dwarven skin, but the next moment, the shield was pierced, and he himself was pierced by the Fern Spear.

Locke frowned, sensing a strange, sticky spiritual contamination through his Fern Spear. No wonder the Crimson Deep’s dark wizards were called mad by the white wizards, who also called them “dog shit.” Good heavens, the biggest difficulty in defeating these guys lay in the [Deep Garden Contamination].

Their ultimate magic was essentially Crimson Deep, which wasn’t unusual, as the ultimate magic of the Holy Wizards of the Holy School was generally part of their collective divine kingdom.

A Holy Wizard’s ultimate magic was always affiliated with their collective divine kingdom.

Crimson Deep was simply a rare example of Holy School magic that had fallen into corruption.

Therefore, it was the same as ordinary Holy Wizards.

However, once the Crimson Deep’s dark wizards were harmed or attacked, they would uncontrollably radiate the magic and spirituality within them. Because they were so extraordinary, and the Crimson Deep, which they had collectively constructed over thousands of years, was even more extraordinary

, attacking them would also severely contaminate one with the Deep Garden’s spirituality.

If his magical plants hadn’t undergone adaptive evolution, they would likely have suffered a significant drop in power and some peculiar distortion the moment they pierced through that dark wizard due to contamination.

Right now, he’s become unusually violent, likely due to the river’s tyrannical spirituality polluting him.

Fighting these guys is like swatting dog shit.

This was the most disgusting part.

Locke immediately gave chase, preventing his prey from escaping.

Meanwhile, the dark wizard continued his brutal prayers, “Just Crimson King, grant grace to the blind in this world.”

“Inflicting pain is the only way to awaken the foolish, anger is the eye of the insightful, v*olence is the best way to discover truth.”

The second-circle dark wizard chanted a spell, his eyes fanatical.

“Locke Augustine, you underestimate me.”

This was the Deep Garden Holy Magic: Summoning Angel of Pain.

A blood angel descended before Locke, but the angel was terrifying; its limbs were severed, as if its tendons had been severed, and most of its body was devoid of skin.

This Deep Garden angel was practically a specially corrupted version of a special angel!

Nevertheless, this was still a second-circle angel king!

The angel king raised a blood-red crucifix three times its own size and slammed it down on Locke’s head, causing the blood-red river of tyranny to surge with terrifying waves.

The second-circle dark wizard, wielding a priest’s dagger, slashed his left wrist, thus strengthening the second-circle angel king he had summoned.

In this River of Tyranny, v*olence was amplified; all the blood obtained through v*olence enhanced his magic.

Locke glanced at him, gradually understanding how to utilize the River of Tyranny’s properties.

Locke subtly adjusted the spell model of [One Tree Cannot Support], and the next moment, the second-circle dark wizard was horrified to see blood continuously oozing from the wounds in his heart, pierced by Locke, and his severed right arm.

The blood converged on the second-circle Seagold Fern Spear, increasing its magical pressure.

The dark wizard swallowed hard; he immediately realized that Locke’s magical plant had also utilized the rules of the River of Tyranny.

For a moment, he thought he was fighting a dark wizard from the Crimson Deep.

What the hell was going on? With

a ‘bang,’

the Second Ring Sea Gold Sand Fern Spear pierced through the angel once more in an instant, destroying both the sacred weapon in its hand and the angel itself, a divine servant, directly within the River of Tyranny.

The fallen angel symbolized the violent creed of the Crimson Deep Court’s black wizards.

But the Sea Gold Sand, possessing 16,000 magic pressure and having undergone adaptive evolution using the Moon’s Nurturing Method, was far more fitting for the definition of v*olence than the angel, thus destroying it in a very short time.

The Sea Gold Sand Fern Spear didn’t stop; it continued its journey through the River of Tyranny, like a straight line suddenly changing direction, transforming into a bolt of lightning that pierced his chest again, this time striking directly at the permanent defensive field of his soul structure.

Locke frowned. This black wizard’s combat power was actually much stronger than the bare-footed Jesse Witch of Solas.

The Jesse Witch was truly weak, quickly defeated by him.

But this black wizard was different.

When he used 2.5 times the generational shift, he directly shattered Jesse’s powerful magic, leaving her with virtually no ability to resist.

The dark wizard before him, in that attack, only had an arm broken—not even considered an injury for a wizard.

Just now, he had pierced his heart, briefly testing the instantaneous magical pressure output required to destroy his permanent defensive field.

His second attack, piercing his abdomen with the Golden Fern Spear, was a second strike targeting his soul.

Yet, his soul was only severely damaged, not instantly destroyed by the destruction of his permanent defensive field and magical pressure structure.

Compared to this, Jesse was a joke.

This was understandable, given that Jesse was arguably the weakest second-ring wizard, and she was constantly burdened by debt, having mortgaged everything she could.

Therefore, she was extremely weak,

like a patient bedridden for years.

The dark wizard before him, on the other hand, was a fully-fledged, ordinary second-ring wizard, making him far more difficult to deal with than Jesse.

The second-ring dark wizard seemed to realize the gap between himself and Locke, and instead of continuing the fight, he turned and tried to run into the deepest part of the River of Tyranny to cross the river and return to his homeland.

But in that instant, Locke’s tiger eyes lowered, his powerful insight having already pierced through his opponent’s strengths and weaknesses in previous encounters.

The next moment, the energy of the second-ring Fern Spear concentrated intensely once more, and the red crescent moon behind Locke transformed into a black full moon—the very same Fallen Moon that Georgina had woven using the Loom of Fate and the [Heavenly Garment Hunt] technique during her previous fight with Locke.

Locke’s sea gold dust also transformed into a green heart-shaped leaf, and then back into the spore-like form of the Sea Gold Dust Fern Spear.

At this moment, the Fern Spear’s instantaneous magical pressure increased by 50%, and it regained its Abyssal Devouring Cell Organ. The next instant, a bolt of black lightning descended from the sky, piercing the second-ring dark wizard in the waist.

Like a bolt of black fire suddenly crashing to the earth, scattering in all directions, the black wizard’s soul was also instantly destroyed.

A bronze cauldron fell into the depths of the tyrannical river, absorbing the opponent’s disintegrated body and soul.

During the previous exchange, Locke had discovered a problem.

The black wizards of the Crimson Deep Court were like a cesspool; their magic, even their souls, were filled with illusions. Therefore, ordinary wizards attacking them were like trying to inject orderly power into a cesspool.

Naturally, it was inefficient and ineffective.

The more you tried to bring order to that cesspool, the more powerless you felt.

Therefore, ordinary life magic was at a disadvantage in fighting them in this tyrannical river.

His own botanical magic had only just adapted; its attack power was still somewhat lacking. So, after inflicting serious injuries on the opponent several times, the opponent was even able to catch his breath.

This was because life magic would inexplicably weaken when it struck him.

But!

He had just used the Cycle of Generations and the Moon of Evolution to grant Haijinsha the Abyss Devourer Body, transforming him into an Abyss-attribute being.

Abyss power, however, is even more chaotic than the power of the Crimson King. These Deep Court Holy Masters already possessed chaotic power; adding a bit of Abyss power would completely reverse it,

making their soul structures even more chaotic.

He had just tested it, and it worked.

Locke watched with satisfaction as the bronze cauldron flew back. Simultaneously, he rode on the Golden Fern Spear, moving across the eight-thousand-mile-long River of Tyranny, surveying it once but finding nothing to plunder.

Then, he looked at his bronze cauldron with satisfaction.

He directly used the Reverse Refining Magic Potion technique here, and instantly, complex spell models appeared on the bronze cauldron. Then, the spirit of a ‘human’ appeared within the cauldron, and within this spiritual body in human form, three spiritual wheels and two meridians emerged.

Locke forcibly extracted the corrupted spirit of the dark wizard and threw it into the River of Tyranny. He then preserved the purest form of spirit, ignited a primordial fire, and began refining the Zero Potion according to its recipe.

After a short while, the second Zero Potion was complete!

“Now I can evolve a second magical plant.” Locke used a special potion-making technique to transform the Zero Potion into a mist, which he then dispersed into the Moon of Evolution. Next,

he took out ten pairs of large snow-capped pineapple shoes from his astral ring and shone the Moon of Evolution upon them.

He followed the same method as with the Evolution Sea Sands, but this time it was much faster. Locke was more skilled at using the Moon of Evolution than the first time, and he also possessed the Fire Tree Silver Flower Charm, which served as an enchanted blade, cutting through dimensional information and using botanical knowledge to avoid potentially conflicting plant essences.

Therefore, he completed a second-ring level large snow-capped pineapple wizard shoe in just half an hour.

Furthermore, due to the Fire Tree Silver Flower Spell – Enchanted Blade, this wizard’s shoe has undergone preliminary design and is no longer entirely a wild magical plant.

It’s somewhere between a wild magical plant and an artificially designed magical plant.

This is thanks to the Fire Tree Silver Flower Spell exchanged with Wizard Edgar.

At this moment, this Great Snow-Capped Pineapple Wizard’s Shoe has become a second-circle magical plant, and a Imaginary Root has grown on its surface.

I obtained a large number of Imaginary Roots from the Time Shadow Fern; I only need to take one and graft it onto the Great Snow-Capped Pineapple Wizard’s Shoe.

Of course, Imaginary Roots also have grades; this is the most common sparse Imaginary Root, the most primitive Imaginary Root.

My understanding of Imaginary Roots is still relatively rudimentary, but Imaginary Roots take root in special spiritual sea worlds. Basic Imaginary Roots can only take root on the surface of the spiritual sea, while higher-level Imaginary Roots take root deeper.

Theoretically, all planes should have spiritual seas.

This is similar to how all planes possess space and time; the spiritual sea is one of the inherent attributes of a plane, and the magical plant, in order to further evolve, developed the ability to absorb the spiritual sea.

If the mortal world is like the leaves on a tree, then the spiritual sea is like the vascular bundles, veins, and so on of that tree…

However, Locke hasn’t yet figured out why wizards and other creatures themselves are not very able to utilize the energy of the spiritual sea.

At this moment, this large snow-capped pineapple still resembles a pair of ice skates, its leaves retaining the spiral horns of a mythical creature, and its core still consists of ice-blade-like storage roots. Moreover, some glandular root sacs have grown on these storage roots, converting energy into agave ketone bodies, which are then temporarily stored as energy.

Because it used the plane information of the River of Tyranny, it obtained a set of [Blood Information Plant Essence], which includes—

[Gilded Pineapple Vascular Network Heart Factor]

[Blood Magic Plant Factor]

[Compound Blood Liquid Crystal Cluster Plant Factor]

Thus, his second-ring Snow-capped Pineapple retained the appearance of a red ice skate, with a red gemstone-like heart at the tip, and blood-formed armor appeared on both sides of the skate.

After Locke put it on, he could immediately walk on the River of Tyranny as if on flat ground, because it was completely adapted to the River of Tyranny’s dimensional environment. It could even utilize the river’s properties to form a blood liquid crystal cluster under its feet, allowing it to glide on the flow of blood.

Blood Magic Plant Factor is a relatively common second-ring magical plant that some magical plants actively synthesize.

It is the core of blood magic’s power, greatly enhancing its strength, and is considered by some wizards to be the foundation of blood magic’s existence.

Locke said, “These wizard shoes can be the fifth pair of wizard shoes under my Augustus Wizard Shoes brand.”

“Let’s call them the Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes.”

However, he wasn’t sure if there was a difference in quality between these shoes and the second-ring wizard shoes designed by the magic weavers, or what level they would fall within the current second-ring wizard shoes of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands.

He estimated they wouldn’t be very good.

After all, the Pixiu horn and glandular root sacs wouldn’t offer such a significant advantage at the second-ring level, and the Great Bloodwave Pineapple hadn’t been meticulously designed by him; it wasn’t a powerful second-ring magical plant to begin with.

But at this moment, Locke took a clever approach. Holding the only remaining wizard robe of the Black Wizard, he walked on the surface of the Tyrannical River, returning to everyone’s sight.

The Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes possessed the special ability to walk on the surface of the Tyrannical River as if on flat ground—a special result of the surging evolution, allowing the Great Bloodwave Pineapple Wizard Shoes to directly adapt to the Tyrannical River’s growth environment!

Meanwhile, wizards from various academies who were observing the situation in the nearby mountains all turned to look at Locke.

“He’s out. He really killed that dark wizard. Dark wizards from Crimson Deeper Garden are not easy to kill. The Beholder Wizard, who just became a second-circle wizard, has already swiftly killed two second-circle wizards. Another ruthless figure has emerged from Cloudswamp Wetlands!”

“Dark wizards from Crimson Deeper Garden often escape along their divine river, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.”

“Wait a minute, look, the Beholder Wizard’s wizard shoes seem to have changed. They look like a new pair of wizard shoes, seemingly made of second-circle magical plants. Could it be the fifth product of Augustus’s wizard shoes? I wonder how effective they are.” “

Those wizard shoes seem to allow one to walk on the River of Tyranny. That alone is enough to prove the powerful magical plant properties of those wizard shoes! Hmm? Has Arthas not yet put these wizard shoes on sale? I’ll order his previous product first.”

At this moment, Locke’s image of walking on the River of Tyranny as if it were flat ground left a deep impression on the wizards.

The wizard shareholders and agents of the two shop alliances, who were secretly watching the battle from a distance, shook their heads and sighed. Many wizard shareholders even chose to leave immediately.

The second-ring supervisors of Solas’s Lightfoot and Melochy’s Magic Step anxiously cried out, “Don’t go, everyone, don’t go!”

“Everyone, please trust Solas’s Lightfoot (Melochy’s Magic Step)!”
