Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 835

Chapter 832 The Seasons Revolve, Powerful Life Magic! Leaf of Power!

Twelve ice plum blossom wheels struck the Blood Ancestor True Bodies transformed from the two-ring wizards. In the next moment, the massive bodies of these three Blood Demon Gods were shattered into pieces by the ice plum blossom wheels.

The surrounding sea of blood froze, halting its act of absorbing spiritual energy from mortals.

At the same time, the three two-ring wizards were surprised by Locke’s sudden attack.

Even in the world of dark wizarding, such vicious individuals were rare.

After all, the world of dark wizarding was cruel, and everyone feared injury and having their weaknesses exposed by the enemy.

The three two-ring wizards chanted incantations simultaneously, and their blood, falling to the ground, transformed into blood tentacles that attacked Locke. However, before these blood tentacles could touch Locke, they were pierced by a emerald green spear formed from a two-ring sea gold sand.

The massive blood tentacles transformed into a rain of blood, and the cursed power hidden within them fell with the rain.

Hussein’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

“Locke, be careful. These wizards are masters of blood curse magic. This blood flows from their wounds. They just tried to use the [Holy Blood Hand] spell on you. Anyone caught by the Holy Blood Hand will be injected with a massive amount of curses, but you just dispersed the hand. However, the Holy Blood Hand’s blood contains powerful curse energy. If it turns into blood rain and scatters throughout the city, it will instantly create a large number of cursed vampires.”

“Then, they can draw blood from those vampires to heal their own injuries and launch attacks against you.”

The three second-ring vampire wizards sneered, their eyes filled with mockery.

Using blood curses to summon blood curses is the philosophy of the Pale Pilgrimage’s Blood Demon Palace.

Locke glanced at Hussein. “Don’t worry.”

“Because it’s impossible.”

The large glass Winter Green Plum in Locke’s hand released a unique winter dormancy power. This dormancy power, a mixture of ice and snow magic and plant life magic, is one of the components of true winter magic.

Instantly, the blood that rained down, before even reaching the city, froze into ice upon landing on the faces of the mortals and on all the livestock within.

Ice shards fell over the city, startling the mortals into closing their doors and windows.

Little did they know that if this blood rain hadn’t turned to ice, and had instead dripped into the city, they would have instantly become pitiful sacrifices under the blood curse.

The three black wizards, who had initially sneered with mockery, now froze, their expressions hardening. They had almost exhausted the life energy they had obtained from the Life Stealing Instrument, casting a [Holy Blood Sacrifice Hand] imbued with powerful magic runes.

They had originally intended to retaliate against Locke, and if that failed, they planned to first massacre the million-strong mortal city below, then use their blood as sacrifices to curse Locke.

But who would have thought that Locke only needed to wave a plum branch once at the blood rain from the sky, and all the blood would turn into ice shards.

Even more bizarrely, the curse energy, which should have been active, instantly ceased to react. It was as if ice could truly seal away the cursed energies.

The three dark wizards were horrified to discover strange ice shards appearing on their wounds, sealing their immortality and preventing their bodies from healing themselves.

What kind of power was this?

Hussein also looked at the Winter Green Plum in Locke’s hand with astonishment.

“Such a method exists within life magic? In just an instant, all the cursed energies entered a dormant state. That means that magical plant possesses the ability to put the energy of all things into a dormant state. Is this winter magic?”

Strictly speaking, seasonal magic is a very high-level form of life magic.

Therefore, it’s not commonly seen by dark wizards.

Hussein, due to his work at the law firm, had seen more and knew more wizards, and only now could he recognize the clues to the magic Locke was casting.

It wasn’t a simulation of winter magic; it seemed to be the true prototype of winter magic. He hadn’t expected Locke to have progressed so much in such a short time

!

The three second-ring dark wizards’ expressions changed drastically. They could only channel all the life energy they had obtained from the Life Stealing Instrument into their bodies to recover from the severe injuries Locke had inflicted on their bodies and souls.

Furthermore, they discovered that Locke’s winter magic had not only harmed them but had also placed a portion of their power into a strange state.

It couldn’t be said that it was sealed,

as they could still use it.

However, while they could use it, its effectiveness was extremely weak. The same magical pressure was somehow weaker than before,

as if that portion of their magical pressure had fallen asleep.

This was the unique effect of winter magic—the stiffening effect.

Their power was partially frozen.

“Slightly more resilient than I expected. But that’s about it,”

Locke said, looking at the three. He had just used the Lunar Cultivation Method to comprehensively enhance his Great Glazed Winter Green Plum.

His magical pressure had now reached over 19,100, while theirs was only around 15,000. His Great Magic’s energy dissipation, instantaneous magical pressure multiplication, and energy compatibility were all superior to their Great Magic’s.

Furthermore, winter magic is a very advanced spell, so Locke almost killed the three of them in an instant. However, thanks to their vampire immortality, they miraculously recovered from their near-death state, though about one-tenth of their power was frozen.

The three vampire dark wizards exchanged glances. They could sense that Locke’s winter magic had indirectly reduced their magic pressure by about 750.

Their frozen magical power was about one-tenth of their total magical power.

With this calculation, they immediately understood that Locke’s Great Glazed Winter Plum Blossom spell effectively had the ability to halve their magic pressure.

Who could withstand that?

They didn’t know if being struck again by Locke’s twelve Ice Plum Blossom Strike would drop their magic pressure below 10,000.

The three dark wizards immediately attacked Locke, attempting a second counterattack. They chanted incantations, casting three vampire second-circle spell models infused with powerful magic runes.

Two of the spell models were the vampire second-circle curse spell, [Crimson Blood Blade]!

One of the spell models is the vampire’s second-circle curse spell, “Life and Death Pact”!

This is the second joint attack by the three dark wizards. The Crimson Blood Blade uses its own forbidden immortality as its energy source, transforming the curse power that originally needed to be sustained into instantaneous damage attack power to launch an attack on the enemy.

Moreover, if a wizard is struck by a crimson blood blade, all the cursed power accumulated within him will erupt instantly, transforming the continuous damage into a brief, instantaneous burst of damage.

It can be used for ranged attacks, close combat with the blood blade, and even imbuing the blade with cursed magic to attack others.

It can be said to be perfectly suited to their vampire magic combat system.

One after another, crescent-shaped blood blades, as large as mountains, attacked Locke.

Simultaneously, a vampire demon god, a blood whip appearing in his left hand, swung it at Locke. This blood whip was also a manifestation of cursed power; once it successfully broke through the enemy’s soul defense, it could forcibly establish a bloodline connection with the enemy, usurping the connection between bloodlines and mutating it.

In this way, however much he suffered, Locke would also suffer the same amount of damage.

Similarly, however much Locke suffered, he would suffer the same amount of damage.

Clearly, the three were quite experienced in combat; those crimson blood blades were merely feints, and they didn’t truly intend to defeat Locke with these spells.

What they were truly gambling on was the Life-and-Death Pact, which would allow them to connect with Locke, enabling one of them to share damage with him.

However, the problem was that second-circle vampire dark wizards could heal their injuries with blood packs and lower-level blood servants, and could use the Life-Stealing Instrument to sweep through their medium-sized plane a second time to restore their souls.

Therefore, the Life-and-Death Pact spell was advantageous to them but disadvantageous to Locke.

The three dark wizards watched the blood whip, concealed behind a blood blade, attack Locke, and looked at the spell with hopeful anticipation, hoping it would hit him.

The greatest advantage of the Life-and-Death Pact was that it could generally be effective against enemies of the same level, as long as the difference in magical pressure did not exceed ten thousand.

Of course, this spell also had a drawback: the distance between the caster and the cursed could not exceed one thousand meters.

Once it exceeded one thousand meters, the curse would automatically expire.

Therefore, only one of the three chose to add a large amount of magical runes to the spell’s model.

After all, the Crimson Blood Blade had a wider range of applications.

Although Hussein was somewhat worried about Locke, he glanced at him but, seeing that Locke had no intention of asking for his help, did not join the battle.

Locke looked at the three’s combined magical attack and immediately said, “Child’s play.”

He took out a second magical plant with his left hand, a summer magical plant, an Araceae magical plant, Pinellia!

Among the Araceae magical plants were a bunch of special magical plants that could heat the surrounding temperature.

At this moment, Pinellia swung forward, and the Summer Grass Mars magical model appeared at the top of Pinellia, turning into a magical spark. This magical spark absorbed all the blood blades with its gravitational pull, and then forcibly attracted the blood whip.

Then, all the energy was reflected back, rebounding onto the three of them.

Because Pinellia is a summer magical plant, possessing the power of fire, the three spells were not simply reflected back; the power of the three spells, plus the magical power of Pinellia Mars itself, all boiled and became active, and continued to rise due to the fire.

A deafening ‘bang!’

Energy exploded from the throats of the three, shooting towards their heads. A surge of intense magical power erupted from their bodies, erupting into three pillars of fire.

All the mortals in the capital could see these three enormous fiery tornadoes soaring into the sky.

Then, they dissipated into fiery clouds, the energy vanishing into the heavens.

For some reason, the mortals no longer felt the tightness and discomfort they had experienced before.

The Emperor in the Imperial Palace and the second-class wizard apprentice of the Eternal Radiance Hall also felt much better, their bodies filled with a cool, refreshing sensation.

At the edge of the battlefield, Hussein placed his finger beside his right eye. A scar above his right eye instantly split open, flowing with blood stained with cursed power, forming a blood-stained monocle that covered his right eye.

Hussein observed Locke’s power. “Just as I suspected. It seems his research into the magic of the seasons has deepened considerably in the past few months. Is it because he’s been working on a few projects lately?”

“The magical pressure of several second-circle wizards, and the magical power they exuded in the air, were all drawn to the energy of that summer magical plant, causing it to boil as if ignited, the energy turning into a wisp of rising smoke.”

“That summer plant firefly was even more powerful than the one I saw a few months ago. It seemed to have reflected the energy back, but in reality, it utilized the characteristic of upward-boiling magic and energy to guide it back to the caster, causing chaos in the caster’s own magical power.”

“It’s like shooting themselves in the foot.”

“The mortals around must feel quite relieved. After all, the magical pressure that originally covered the capital city was all ignited by Locke’s life magic, turning into rising smoke.”

“With the magic pressure gone, those mortals will naturally be relieved.”

Hussein, as expected of a genius, immediately thought of more.

“Life magic is closely related to the health of all things, and seasonal magic seems to be essentially different states of life energy.”

The three second-circle dark wizards emerged from the three pillars of fire, their bodies tattered and severely injured.

They exchanged glances, all sensing Locke’s overwhelming power over them.

This was a power they couldn’t withstand even when they joined forces.

The three immediately made a decision: they couldn’t fight anymore.

They had to escape!

If they didn’t escape now, they might lose the ability to flee.

At this moment, the three used the Life Stealing Instrument to once again exhaust the resources of their medium-sized world, activating it for the second time in a short period of time to intercept life energy and heal their injuries.

However, this meant they were overdrawing a great deal of their magical power, entering a stage of borrowing to repay debts.

The valuation of their assets would decrease, so their magic pressure each dropped by 500,

from 15,000 to 14,500.

The three exchanged glances again and quickly began to communicate.

“This is bad. If this continues, we’ll all die at the hands of this researcher from Golden Crown Mountain. He’s too ruthless, his magic too powerful, suppressing all three of us single-handedly. Every time our magic is deflected.” “In

this critical moment, we must do everything in our power and help each other. Otherwise, we’ll all die. I suggest one of us offer our blood to the other two, and the other two use their ultimate magic, ‘Life Stealing Instrument,’ to absorb his energy, enhancing their physical abilities. Then, the other two can escape with him.”

“Good idea! This is the best solution to our current predicament. Mutual help is the only way to achieve a win-win situation.”

After agreeing on their plan, the three turned and fled without looking back, showing no intention of sacrificing one’s blood to enhance the other two’s blood curse magic.

What a joke!

Wouldn’t the person whose blood was drained be doomed?

If two were enhanced and one weakened, wouldn’t the other two simply leave the person whose blood was drained behind and escape the clutches of that ruthless white wizard?

All three were dark wizards, accustomed to the ugliness of humanity during their Pale Pilgrimage. They wouldn’t be foolish enough to risk their lives trusting their companions would uphold morality and save them!

Better to die for their friends than for themselves.

The three exchanged glances as they fled. If they could outrun their companions, they could draw the attention of the bewitching archmage.

Therefore, they quickly decided that their true enemy wasn’t Locke, but their fleeing companions.

Two of the dark wizards immediately targeted their chosen one—the one with the weakest magical pressure and the most weakened body—and chanted spells upon him, unleashing curses that forced him to remain rooted to the spot.

The vampire demon struggled within the blood tentacles, cursing his two companions in anger.

“Damn it. You two bastards.”

He looked at Hussein and said, “Hussein, you are also one of our vampire wizards. After that white wizard killed me, he will also attack you. You and I had better join forces!”

Hussein gave him a cold look, knowing that this was just him desperately trying to spout nonsense.

How could he fall for such a narrative trick?

Locke looked at the three of them, “No need to run.”

At this moment, a large number of spores of Lygodium spores burst forth from the bodies of the three of them, and the spores began to transform into gametes.

Botanical Second-Circle Magic: Generational Alternation!

Those spores were those that he had secretly scattered in the air with Second-Circle Lygodium spores, and parasitized the bodies of the three of them while they were not paying attention.

The Lygodium spores frequently transformed between the spore body and the gametophyte, and the transformed attributes corresponded to the summer attribute of Pinellia ternata and the winter attribute of Prunus armeniaca.

In this way, the vampire true bodies of the three Second-Circle Black Wizards began to enter the seasonal transformation.

Hussein glanced at Locke and immediately understood Locke’s plan.

Locke’s spell wouldn’t actually be very effective, as he only used some infertile spores from second-ring sea gold sand. Even with generational changes and seasonal shifts, it wouldn’t be of much use.

However, Locke used this move to directly clash his ultimate spell with the opponent’s three ultimate spells simultaneously—a collision of magical pressure against magical pressure.

This would create the environment for the [World War].

Because the opponent’s vampire true form definitely wanted to interrupt the seasonal changes in their bodies, preventing Locke from directly interfering with the seasons of the plane behind them, thus weakening their power through seasonal changes.

Hussein instantly understood Locke’s plan.

“Using the World War to expand your forest? Since you helped me once, I’ll help you in return.”

Hussein cut his right index finger, and three drops of blood fell downwards, each drop instantly transforming into a blood tentacle.

Holy Blood Sacrifice!

The three blood tentacles wrapped around the bodies of the three black wizards, simultaneously injecting cursed power into them, weakening their magical pressure!

The three black wizards roared in anger.

“Hussein, you are also a descendant of the progenitor wizards, why are you helping an outsider who uses life magic?”

Hussein sneered. The three of them had changed their attitudes very quickly.

He naturally wouldn’t be swayed by such trash talk.

Hussein said to Locke, “You weakened their magical pressure twice before, and with them activating the Life Stealing Ritual twice in a short period of time, their ultimate magic has fallen into decline.”

“Now I’m cursing them again. It will be easier for you to force a world war with them, and you’ll win even more easily.”

Locke turned around, gave Hussein an ‘OK’ sign, and then looked at the three dark wizards. His seasonal magic flow clashed with the opponent’s Blood Ancestor True Form. The two sides were competing in pure magical pressure, and soon it became a direct magical pressure clash between the three ultimate spells and Locke’s own ultimate spell, Evolution Moon. At

this moment, a medium-sized world began to appear behind the three of them.

The three of them were actually sharing a medium-sized world.

Locke was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. A slightly larger medium-sized world could indeed provide several wizards with the ability to construct ultimate magic at the same time.

This should be the norm.

The reason the previous Louis plane only had one second-circle wizard and only one burial ground was because Morgan was a genius among dark wizards in his youth, but he was later crippled by someone who stood in his way.

At this moment, the three dark wizards’ expressions changed drastically.

“Oh no, he’s started the World War!”

“But does he really have the confidence to suppress all three of us at the same time with just one powerful spell?”

Locke took a step forward, and the world shifted, the moonlight of the Evolutionary Moon directly piercing into the world behind them—the Heidelberg Plane.

A full moon appeared in this plane.

The Heidelberg Plane is a standard medium-sized life plane, its civilization stuck in the feudal era. Everywhere are feudal manor lords, and there are numerous kingdoms. There is also a Church of Light, which claims to have received an oracle from the God of Light and established itself in the mortal world.

The mortals of this world have no extraordinary abilities; they are just ordinary nobles and kings.

Within this world, however, lurks three vampire clans, disguised as nobles, parasitizing human society, locked in a centuries-long struggle with the Holy See, and gradually cultivating a large number of apostles transformed into vampires.

Locke glanced at this world; his true form was blocked outside the world’s crystalline system, but he noticed that most of the world’s elite were vampires.

These vampires, cloaked in human skin, secretly ruled over mortals, while simultaneously conducting life-stealing rituals for three second-circle dark wizards.

The recent two consecutive life-stealing rituals had already put pressure on the various nations of this plane, causing too many mortal deaths, thus the plane’s society was beginning to collapse.

Locke’s Moon of Evolution, upon entering, attracted a large number of mortal plants to form an ecological community.

“Hmm? Only mortal plants, no magical plants?”

Locke’s gaze swept across the entire plane.

“There should be three centers of rituals, where are they?”

He could see a river of blood at the edge of the Heidelberg plane’s world.

It seems that the three vampire wizards’ construction of the Great Magic here has also brought the power of the Blood River Plane to this world, allowing the Blood River to flow through it.

Locke’s gaze fell on the highest peak in this world, Mount Light.

“So that’s how it is. This church is actually the location where the three dark wizards secretly held the Life Stealing Ritual. All three ritual centers are on a mountain. They’ve been operating in this world for many years, investing their main resources in this church.”

The core of the World War lies in the direct clash of Great Magic.

Locke’s moonlight shone on the ecosystem. “Just follow the same approach as the previous World War. First, grant the mortals of the resistance organizations in this world the power of Rangers.”

Locke’s Ranger system this time is more complete.

This is because his Ranger system has been developing for some time in the Louis Plane and has been continuously developing under the guidance of his disciple, Nicholas Shaw.

“The more numerous and of higher quality my ecosystem—those trees and leaves blessed by the moonlight—the more power it grants the Ranger.”

Leaves imbued with special power appeared on the treetops of the Heidelberg plane.

Locke called these leaves [Leaves of Power].
