Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 855

Chapter 851 The Truth Wizard Makes His Move!

In the Dark World, the Nameless Wizard seemed to remember something. He picked up the Ganoderma lucidum plant, now stained with intense darkness, and attempted to use it to contact Locke.

But the next moment, the plant repelled his power.

“Damn it.”

The Nameless Wizard realized that the power of the Dark Evil King had invaded the Ganoderma lucidum plant and might have found Locke Augustine, whom he had previously contacted.

“If my junior brother gets hurt because of this, how can I explain to my teacher?”

The Nameless Wizard frowned.

“Is the Dark Evil King forcing me to return to his kingdom?”

Only then could he possibly regain his own name.

The Nameless Wizard was caught in a dilemma, because he couldn’t determine how much power the Dark Evil King had invested in the Wizarding World. The Dark World was located on a new shipping route, and much information about it was still incomplete, in the exploratory stage.

Thus, he found himself in a difficult situation.

…

In the Dune Plane, in the underground research institute of Group 2, within the dark space.

Locke looked at Zachary Potter, the monstrous figure before him. Seeing Locke’s fearless expression, even looking at him with curiosity, Locke grinned maliciously.

His dark face had vanished, leaving only eyes, a mouth, and a forehead; the eyes and mouth were like black holes.

He was laughing maniacally.

He was like a shadow stretched and distorted under the light, mocking Locke’s ignorance.

As a monstrous figure from the Seven Realms, he had already dragged seven worlds into the Dark World.

And now, he could sense the power of the Wizarding World, a power even greater and more vast than the Dark World itself.

As the lord of the Seven Realms, even his actions in the Dark World caused fluctuations, because his power was so immense.

Yet, in this Wizarding World, the Wizarding World treated him as if he were merely an ordinary being!

This meant that this world possessed an unbelievable vastness far beyond his imagination.

Although the power of the wizarding world terrified him—this was the first time he had seen a world even more powerful than the Dark World—his current goal wasn’t to drag a portion of this world into darkness, but rather to drag the wizard before him into darkness.

If he died in this dark space, the other would be forced into darkness.

Zachary Potter, the Demon King, vanished amidst laughter, his clothes falling to the ground. Simultaneously, countless dark flies swarmed from all directions.

His magical pressure steadily increased.

15,000, 16,000, 17,000, 18,000, 19,000…

Since the Dark Lord had sent him here, he was certain there was a way to make this guy’s magical pressure surpass Locke’s.

Therefore, this guy’s magical pressure rose from 19,000 to 19,999.

This was the first time Locke had encountered an enemy at the limit of a normal second-circle level.

The next moment, countless flies swarmed towards Locke.

The flies crashed into Locke’s permanent defensive force field, which only lasted for about three seconds before shattering.

‘My permanent defensive force field shell seems to have degenerated into a permanent defensive force field in this dark space.’

‘Similarly, I can’t use ultimate magic.’

Locke rode the Rose Dragon backward, its three flower buds and dragon heads unleashing Dragon Fire Shadows at the swarm of dark flies, but the endless flies swarmed in from all directions.

Simultaneously, countless demonic sounds filled his ears.

Locke glanced at the back of his hand; for some reason, black spots had appeared on his right hand. The darkness from the other side clearly had some way of influencing him.

The other side had pulled him into this strange space, preventing him from using ultimate magic and his permanent defensive force field shell. Furthermore, while the other side’s original magic pressure was only ten thousand, in this space, for some reason, it had jumped from ten thousand to nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

This means that the opponent likely has the backing of a high-ranking being from a dark world, and this dark space might not even have been created by the opponent.

No wonder the Dark King was so confident in sending this guy to his side, believing he must have the ability to pull him into darkness.

A magic pressure of 19999—that’s indeed difficult to fight.

Locke, just as he was about to consider how to deal with the enemy, felt dark spots appear on the back of his hand, and then it seemed as if he could see a vast dark world before him.

It seemed that world was calling him.

If he completely fell into darkness, he would probably be pulled into that world.

The next moment, Zachary Porter’s magic pressure suddenly seemed to deflate, continuously dropping from 19,999 to 18,000, 17,000, and then plummeting all the way down to around 11,000.

Only because of this dark space did it barely increase by 1,000 magic pressure.

Zachary Porter clearly hadn’t expected this change; he screamed in agony, his wails filling the entire space, and countless flies buzzed around like headless flies.

Locke was astonished to find a Ganoderma lucidum plant automatically floating out of his astral ring.

This plant was constantly dripping a black liquid.

The liquid landed on the ground, took root, and transformed into three pine cones.

Locke stared in amazement at the Ganoderma lucidum plant floating in mid-air, sensing the immense power behind it.

Ganoderma lucidum plants were standard equipment for wizards in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands. Because they required communication with other wizards, they were provided by breeders from the White Wizard Association. Only specially authorized breeders possessed the ability to cultivate this plant and the necessary seeds.

“Wait, behind the Ganoderma lucidum is the Truth Wizard of Yunze Wetland. It’s the wizard who built the water hyacinth network.”

“The Dark World has infiltrated the Ganoderma lucidum with its power. While this proves that world possesses immense potential, it also means they will anger the Truth Wizards of the Wizarding World.”

“Is it the Truth Wizards who are making their move now?”

…

In Yunze Wetland, above Cloud Lake, amidst the continuous mist, a small boat, a straw raincoat, a bamboo pole, two or three lotus flowers, an old man stands on the boat, using the bamboo pole to propel himself, while smiling as he looks at the water hyacinth ecosystem floating on the surface of Cloud Lake.

These water hyacinths form the foundation of the Yunze Wetland’s communication system

and are one of its most important infrastructure projects.

The old man is the maintainer of the water hyacinth system and also a gardener in this aquatic botanical garden.

The old gardener chuckled, “Honestly. What are these youngsters up to? They finally found a comfortable retirement job, and now they have to work.”

“They actually let the power of the colonial world enter the water hyacinth system.”

The old gardener said with a smile, “This generation of young wizards is really useless.”

“If our generation had encountered this situation…”

The old gardener’s smile carried a coldness that could destroy planes with a casual remark, a terrifying style left over from a bygone era.

“We will never let any entity that provokes our civilization get away with it. Unfortunately, since the Enlightenment, the cost of humanitarianism has been rising higher and higher. Those lunatics on the Ethics and Morality Review Committee are not to be trifled with.”

“Besides, wizards today are different from those of the past. Old guys like me, remnants of an era, don’t have many years left to live. It’s better to stop causing trouble and not waste my lifespan.”

“I’m just falling behind the times. My magic is far behind the times.”

“Let this living dead lie here in this water hyacinth garden. I only need to manage this garden; I don’t want to concern myself with anything else.”

He extended a finger and pointed slightly forward. A spell, traversing time and space through the water hyacinth system, forced out all the dark power hidden within it. He then used the fourth-circle spell [Rooting] to transform the power into three special magical plants.

…

In the research institute, Locke’s dark space was cut off by the intervention of the Truth Wizard, severing the power lurking within the water hyacinth system. This prevented the Dark King from supporting Zachary Potter with his power.

Zachary Potter’s expression changed drastically, as this was the first time he had encountered a situation where the Dark King was unable to bestow his Dark Blessing upon him.

The Nightmare Legion…

this place was different from other worlds.

At the same time, the entire dark space, deprived of the Dark King’s Dark Blessing, could not maintain its balance, and the phase of the entire space began to tilt.

In that instant, Locke immediately realized something was wrong.

He finally understood why he couldn’t use powerful magic and his permanent defensive force field shell in this dark space.

It was simple.

First, this dark space wasn’t created by his opponent, but by the Dark King.

That’s why he was at a disadvantage.

However, the sudden intervention of the unfamiliar Truth Wizard from the wizarding world changed the situation.

Second, the entire dark space wasn’t real.

It was like a parallel space, a shadow play venue.

Like the shadow of an object projected onto a white cloth under a light source.

His current situation was similar.

He wasn’t his true self; he had been pulled into the dark space, falling into the white cloth of the shadow play, his body reduced in dimension.

His permanent defensive force field shell was a four-dimensional structure.

Reduced by one dimension, it was just an ordinary permanent defensive force field.

If other civilizations or power systems from the endless void were to fall into this world, even a permanent defensive force field that could maintain a three-dimensional structure wouldn’t be able to be used in this dark space. The fact

that he could unleash a permanent defensive field in this space was already quite powerful.

Essentially, it was the Dark King who, through the intervention of that demon, had simultaneously lowered both him and the Dark King by one dimension, pulling them into a two-dimensional world to fight.

However, because the Dark King’s connection had been severed by the Wizard of Truth, it was as if the light source of the shadow play had been overturned, causing the phases of this dark space to reverse and vibrate. This was why he could perceive this through his Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline.

At this moment, Locke looked towards the very center of this dark space, where he saw a dark egg absorbing the energy emanating from his magical radiance, nurturing something.

Locke instantly realized that if he had continued fighting Zachary Potter, he wouldn’t have been at a disadvantage due to not realizing he had been lowered by the Dark King by one dimension, becoming entangled in a battle with Zachary Potter. Moreover, Zachary Potter’s true purpose seemed to be to hatch that dark egg.

Only when that dark egg successfully hatched would Zachary Potter be truly certain of victory.

The methods of the Dark World are indeed astonishing.

No wonder it’s the world of the New Horizons.

If it weren’t for the wizards of his own wizarding world, other worlds would likely be utterly defeated.

Zachary Potter, the Demon King, unleashed countless black flies at Locke. In this shadow play, all beings are merely shadows within the puppets.

Therefore, if Locke stays here long enough, he will be assimilated by the dark power.

Zachary Potter was clearly very nervous after Locke discovered the dark egg. He hadn’t expected that what he considered a sure thing would turn out this way so quickly.

The wizarding world is too dangerous!

He has to make one last gamble.

That Dark Soul must be protected; if it can successfully hatch, he can still win.

This young wizard before him clearly lacks the ability to resist the energy of that Dark Soul.

But the next moment, Locke summoned a Sea Gold Sand and used the “One Tree Cannot Support” technique. A bolt of lightning struck, piercing the dark egg in an instant.

The unhatched dark egg was extremely fragile, shattering into fragments in an instant.

Locke seized the opportunity to cover the dark egg with his bronze cauldron.

“Hmm? This is actually a second-ring level spiritual essence, and the magical pressure has even reached the limit of a normal second-ring.”

“This spiritual essence can be used to make two Zero Potions?”

Locke fell into thought, clearly realizing he had indeed been in danger. If this dark egg had successfully hatched, who knew what would have happened?

Zachary Potter, seeing this, immediately tried to flee.

The wizarding world was too terrifying!

But the next moment, Locke summoned a Golden Wheat plant, countless magical rays converging on it. Locke used the “One Tree Cannot Support” technique, and the Golden Wheat lashed out like a whip, cleaving Zachary Potter in two.

Severely injured, Zachary Potter’s body transformed into a swarm of flies, now several orders of magnitude smaller, trying to escape.

But the next moment, Locke picked up a pine cone that had sprouted from the three drops of dark power that had fallen to the ground, and used the Peach Blossom Thorn Arrow to transform it into an arrow, striking the monster’s body fiercely.

In an instant, the pine cone transformed into a beam of light, then completely pulverized the monster’s body.

Zachary Potter screamed, “No, am I the one to be buried in darkness?!”

The next moment, he was pulverized.

His seven small-scale dark worlds were all destroyed in an instant.

His spirituality was absorbed into the bronze cauldron by Locke.

Locke clicked his tongue in amazement.

“The methods of the Wizard of Truth are indeed powerful. This pine cone seems to completely suppress the power of the dark worlds.”

“However, the power of the dark worlds is also very peculiar. It turns out that a second-ring creature pulled worlds into the greater dark world, and then the greater dark world gave all the power of those worlds it pulled into the darkness to this second-ring creature.”

“The essence of this second-ring creature is those seven small-scale worlds.”

Locke instantly realized that this biological characteristic meant that even if he had killed Zachary Potter, Zachary Potter would have been reborn within the seven smaller Dark Worlds of the Great Dark World.

But now that was impossible.

Because of the fourth-circle spell cast by the Wizard of Truth, rebirth was no longer possible.

Locke pondered, “It seems the lords of the Dark Worlds possess powerful regenerative abilities. They are difficult to kill completely. Oh well, this is irrelevant to me right now. I don’t plan to go on the new route for now; it’s only safer if we go through the Moon Ring.” Even his senior

brother Trajan’s journey there was so dangerous; one can imagine how much more perilous it was.

At this moment, the Dark Space shattered, and Locke returned to the mortal world. He needed to immediately refine the Zero Elixir and then complete the growth of the second-circle Great Azure Leaf Dragonfly before him, verifying the results of his finite element cultivation method combined with spiritual cultivation!
