Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 864

Chapter 860 The Saint’s Incarnation’s Beach Landing Operation!

Under Locke’s command, three vaporization wizards of the Illusion School stood on the exploration vanguard’s projection platform. Their wizard robes swirled, resonating with their respective permanent defensive fields.

Simultaneously, their bodies began to blur, splitting apart like writhing phantoms—from one to two, then two to four, then four to eight, and finally eight to sixteen.

This was a first-circle illusion spell model: [Phantom Clone]!

The characteristic of this spell model was that each clone had very low precision, easily identifiable by wizards, but its advantage was the large number of clones, specifically designed to deal with non-wizard enemies.

Locke had previously required all three recruits to learn this first-circle illusion spell model, as it was extremely useful during planar exploration.

Meanwhile, since all three of them were members of the medium-sized wizarding organization [Mind Corridor] in the Golden Crown Mountain region, they all chose the [Mind Corridor]’s standard permanent defensive force field [Reverse Thinking Barrier].

This permanent defensive force field provides a certain level of basic energy protection, but its main defensive power lies in its ability to forcibly reverse the thought processes of an intelligent life form attempting to attack, thus halting the attack.

In other words, it prevents wizards under this permanent defensive force field from being targeted.

It’s considered a unique magical inheritance within the [Mind Corridor], a rather distinctive spell.

Locke said to the three, “Alright. Now enter the Three-Hole Plane.”

After their permanent defensive force fields resonated with their wizard robes, they were immediately strengthened. Simultaneously, they donned wizard masks, filtering the plane’s principles and transforming the plane’s principles they breathed into the plane’s principles of the wizarding world.

Then, they activated their black hummingbird wizard shoes and jumped directly from the top of the void exploration area.

Three people fell into the mortal realm of the Three Caves World, transforming into 48 meteors. In an instant, the fire giant’s fire arrows shot towards the 48 meteors they had become.

The entire world trembled due to the fire giant’s rage, his fury manifesting in the world, causing the temperature to rise rapidly.

On the earth, thousands of mortal city-states felt unbearably hot due to the intense heat, praying to the gods on the mountains.

A fire arrow struck one of the meteors, and instantly the fire principles of the entire world crushed the illusory clone. The fire giant was the fire god of this world, so each of his attacks was equivalent to the entire world’s flames gathering energy to attack a single being.

This was why he was so powerful.

Even an illusory clone of a vapor wizard from the Illusion School could not withstand such worldly pressure.

In just an instant, the illusory clone shattered.

Locke knew this from the beginning, which is why he sent the three vapor wizards of the Illusion School to descend first and use illusions to create clones, deceiving the ‘gods’ of this world.

At this moment, the phantom clones were still being attacked by the sky domain, with bolts of lightning and the power of light raining down.

Forty-eight meteors were being rapidly destroyed.

Only seven meteors successfully fell to the earth.

Fortunately, due to their permanent defensive force field, none of the three were hit before landing.

Locke watched all this, his brow furrowing slightly. ‘The Law of Light, the Law of Lightning, the Law of the Void—the God-King possesses the most world laws.’ ‘

But he clearly pleaded for my help, yet now he’s unleashing his domain to attack my people. Why? Is he controlled by the being behind that eye? The being behind that eye concealed its true form the moment it saw me.’ ‘

But my potion-making skills are already very close to those of a second-circle potion master, so I immediately sensed that the other party was hiding its true nature.’

After all, as a potion master, one must possess the ability to observe the hidden true nature of all things. How could one allow an unknown being to successfully feign divine intervention before them?

‘If that God-King obtained the power of the World Tree leaf to become a god, then he shouldn’t be any of the false gods recognized by the wizarding world, nor should he be considered a true astral god. They should be considered nature gods directly authorized by the World Tree.’ ‘

But does such a thing exist? I don’t know. Because of the decline of the World Tree lineage, the wizarding world may not have touched the power of the World Tree lineage for a long time. So, this might be the first encounter between wizards and nature gods?’

Locke instantly realized that the giant gods here might be his kin in another sense.

After all, his power was also based on the World Tree leaf.

But the problem was, in his previous encounter with them, he hadn’t discovered that they were nature guardians or possessed similar characteristics. The fire giant’s attack method was both primitive and contrary to nature, completely following the path of replacing the world with his own mind.

Therefore, Locke couldn’t immediately determine whether these giants were friend or foe, but they were most likely enemies.

‘The problem must lie with the being behind that eye,’

Locke reasoned. ‘To understand the specifics, we need to find a way to enter this world.’

‘My other half should also be in this world.’

‘I must enter this world and make contact with my other half. As long as my main body or avatar sees my other half for the first time, I can reclaim this clone.’

‘Then, I can construct a second great magic.’

‘Because I will possess a dual soul. From a second-circle wizard’s perspective, the soul is merely the outermost shell, corresponding to the body’s level.’

At this moment, the seven falling meteors, upon touching the ground, split into seven different directions, darting wildly across the land, while the fire giant fired an arrow in one direction and simultaneously charged towards a target.

Meanwhile, three more giants descended from the crater: a mountain giant, a water giant, and a wind giant.

The purpose of these three giant kings descending the mountain was to hunt down the seven fallen meteors.

With each step the mountain giant took, she forced the laws of the world to conform to her, causing a mountain to rise from the ground with each step. Her magical pressure was around 12,000.

Locke glanced at her; theoretically, the laws of mountains in the three-planet should be very powerful due to the craters.

But her magical pressure was only 12,000.

This could only mean that, unlike the fire giant, the mountain giant could not fully control the laws of mountains.

Locke understood after a moment’s thought: the craters were the foundation of the three-planet; if she could fully control them, her magical pressure could very well reach the level of a star ring, or even a lunar ring.

Because the crater, the earth, the primordial lotus leaf, the great river, and the three caves—these are the fundamental structures of this world.

If a single being could control them, it would mean the entire world had fallen into their hands.

Clearly, these giants couldn’t do that.

Even if they could, the being behind them wouldn’t dare, because if such a thing happened, it’s uncertain whether that being could still control such powerful giants.

If that were to happen, giants of this level could even be a challenge for the being with their sheer magical pressure.

At this moment, the seven fallen phantoms had been reduced to three, and those three were moving rapidly within the present world of the three cave planes, temporarily unaware of being caught by any giants.

However, no matter how they used illusions, they were still tracked by the giants.

The three vaporization wizards of the [Mind Corridor] quickly contacted Locke through the Ganoderma lucidum magical plant.

“Lord Augustine, what should we do now? Why were our exquisite illusions so easily seen through by those natives?”

Locke replied through the Ganoderma lucidum plant, “It’s not that they saw through your illusions. Rather, these giants possess the power to directly control specific world principles of this world. The principles of wind, mountains, and earth—everything you step on corresponds to a specific world principle, and these world principles have likely already been mastered by these giants.” “

Therefore, they don’t need to see through your illusions to discover your location. However, your permanent defensive field is still effective against them.”

“If you were second-circle wizards, you could create realistic illusions, stepping on them to avoid direct contact with this world. This should be a way to deceive these natives.”

Locke said, “According to my plan, plant the Red Holly I gave you in the ground.”

“Then, you must immediately choose to seal yourselves.”

At this moment, the three vaporized wizards quickly bent down and planted the broken branch of the red holly in the ground. One chose to plant it in front of a city-state, one in a valley, and one on flat ground.

Meanwhile, the fire giant had caught up with one of the young vaporized wizards. He drew his battle axe and swung it at the ‘tiny’ outsider.

“The supreme god said that the beings that descend into our world are the so-called demon gods. I thought they would be incredibly powerful, but it seems they’re only this strong.”

The fire giant laughed loudly, raising his flaming axe to strike the young vaporized wizard. The fire element of the entire world surged with his excitement.

He originally thought that one axe blow would instantly kill the young vaporized wizard.

However, the fire giant let out a soft ‘huh,’ as his attack, originally aimed at the wizard, inexplicably deflected and struck beside him.

A look of confusion flashed in the fire giant’s eyes.

“What’s going on? You insignificant mortal?”

He hurriedly swung his flaming battle axe, hacking relentlessly at the wizard.

Because of the [Barrier of Reversal], his attacks against this wizard were deflected by logic, making them impossible to target.

The Fire Law of a world is indeed immense; if successfully applied to a first-ring wizard, it would instantly obliterate them.

But here’s the problem.

Because the fire giant actually influenced the world’s will with his own, the world’s law only attacked the wizard because he wanted to.

And when his personal will was deflected by the [Barrier of Reversal], the Fire Law struggled to target the wizard.

If it were a second-ring wizard, this would be unimaginable; he would be unable to hit a first-ring vaporization wizard.

But at this moment, the fire giant was like a child wielding a gun; he hadn’t even learned how to use it properly, so he was just wildly swinging it.

Even so, the vaporized wizard in the thought corridor was filled with immense fear, for under the onslaught of the vast magical pressure, he was like a small boat tossed about in a storm.

The magical pressure of the fire giant was simply too immense.

Each strike felt like the entire world’s fire principles crashing into him.

Although he dodged the attack, a single moment of being caught in the aftershock would instantly obliterate him.

Therefore, upon receiving Locke’s instructions, the wizard retrieved a stone from his astral ring, instantly sealing his soul and body within it.

The stone landed on the ground.

A massive magic circle shot into the sky, then automatically retracted towards the stone.

This was a first-ring sealing spell from the Protection School—the [Sealing Stone].

Locke had also wanted the Protection School wizard to cast an exile spell, but he couldn’t, and exile spells had too long a cast time, making it perhaps not the better choice.

The Sealing Stone could seal a person within it, and the stone’s own sturdiness equaled the seal’s strength; therefore, the Sealing Stone itself was a crystallized magical artifact, exceptionally hard.

Even the entire world’s Fire Law could not damage it.

It was a magical artifact specifically used by wizards to seal powerful enemies, difficult to destroy by brute force.

The other two vaporization wizards in the mind corridor, unable to escape the giants’ pursuit, could only activate their [Sealing Stones] one by one, sealing themselves, their souls and bodies encased within the stones.

Simultaneously, the three broken branches of red holly that had been planted in the ground immediately activated [Accelerated Growth]. In a short time, these three resource-poor magical plants, empowered by the magic Locke left on the branches, grew rapidly, quickly taking root, sprouting, and branching out, transforming into fast-growing versions of towering trees.

For a second-circle wizard, rapidly cultivating a first-circle magical plant without suitable resources was effortless. The

fire giant, wielding his flaming battle axe, turned his head, looking at the tree with a puzzled expression.

At that instant, the supreme god, unusually, directly entered his mind and commanded him, ‘Quickly cut down that tree!’

‘Quickly!’ On the

crater, the female giant among the eleven giants—the Forest Giant—suddenly rose in her palace. Her private palace collapsed madly, and her divine power waned.

In a short time, her beautiful attire became tattered, and the mortals in her palace, blessed with eternal life, grew old and frail in a very brief moment.

Those mortal lovers reached out to her.

“God, what have we done wrong? Are you abandoning us, forsaking our eternal companionship?”

Those kings and heroes who once dominated the mortal world now felt the end of life once more; death descended upon them.

But they could not wait for the Forest Giant’s response.

For the Forest Giant’s divine power was waning; she herself transformed from a young maiden into a woman, and then into a frail old woman.

The Forest Giantess looked down the mountain in terror. She could sense that, in an instant, some power had entered this world, shattering her title as the embodiment of the forest and the unique being of plants—the greatest source of her divine power.

This made her the first of the twelve Giant Gods to be affected.

The Forest Giantess cried out in terror, “No! I don’t want to become mortal again! God-King, Supreme God, please help me!”

“The Law of the Forest… no longer responds to me. Supreme God, if I die, my power will return to the God-King! You must help me!”

The next moment, a new Law of the World descended—the Law of Grass, weaker than the Law of the Forest. Having obtained the Law of Grass, the Giantess instantly gained the identity of the Lord of Grass in this world. Therefore, although her magic pressure decreased from 12,000 to 10,000, she still maintained her existence.

The Grass Giantess looked towards the crater below with suspicion and uncertainty.

On the other side, on the land of the Three Holes World, a full moon appeared behind three Red Holly bushes. It was a sliver of moonlight that Locke had stored within the three branches. As the three plants officially grew in this world, his Moon of Evolution also hung in this world.

Among the twelve giants, there were no Sun or Moon Giants.

It seemed that the Sun and Moon were also fundamental structures of this world and were not controlled by those giants.

The moment his Moon of Evolution appeared in this world, Locke immediately used the Moon Goddess Blessing Spell to transform the three fast-growing Red Holly bushes, downgrading them to First-Class Wizard Apprentice-level Tree People.

Because he used fast-growing plants, not true Red Holly bushes.

Then, Locke attempted to draw upon the power of his Forest Sanctuary, using these three Tree People as a foundation, and then directly descend his Saintly Avatar here!

However, from the upper plane above the crater, a divine light fell from nowhere. The terrifying power of that divine light, like an arrow, directly struck one of the Red Holly Tree People and destroyed it. This interrupted

Locke’s ritual of descending his Saintly Avatar.

Locke wasn’t surprised; he was just trying it out.

There are four ways to descend as a Saintly incarnation: the world itself, a large number of mortals within the world, or the world’s gods—one of these three can summon him, or he can transmit a massive amount of energy to forcibly summon him.

For example, through the Forest Sanctuary.

But regardless, he hadn’t yet gained the world’s approval, so this process was easily interrupted.

On the vanguard of exploration, the seven wizards, Hussein, and Old Henry were also focused on observing the results of this first landing battle.

Old Henry said, “Locke, think of something. You only have two treants left.”

Hussein said, “There’s no way. It’s already good enough that we could cast spells across the world and quickly enlighten three treants. There’s a crystal wall system blocking the way, and no dimensional portal for our power to enter.”

At this moment, on the earth, the instant Locke’s Evolution Moon descended, the full moon appeared behind the Fire Giant.

In that instant, although the Fire Giant had its back to the Evolution Moon, it sensed the terrifying magical pressure of over 19,600 from Locke after he activated the Beast Panel,

as well as the aura of the beast.

His pupils constricted sharply, as if sensing a nemesis behind him. For the first time, he felt the true meaning of terrifying power.

An overwhelming sense of dread welled up within his fearless heart.

He couldn’t allow that… demon god to descend upon this world.

Otherwise, they would perish.

Therefore, he had to cut down that tree.

He absolutely couldn’t let the demon god descend!

Fortunately, the demon god’s power was too immense to easily enter this world.

Filled with terror and unease, the fire giant raised his flaming battle axe, ready to fell the treant, whose power was laughably weak.

The treant spread its branches, and the power of Myster appeared between its fingers, temporarily resisting the full force of the fire giant’s attack with its first-class apprentice-level magical pressure.

The treant’s avatar spoke, “Fire Giant, Archimedes.”

“Your world shouldn’t be like this. Your God-King seems to be in trouble. Tell me, what exactly happened here?”

Upon hearing this, the fire giant seemed even more terrified. Its pupils suddenly shrank, and then it raised its giant flaming axe and launched a fierce attack on Locke.

“Demon God, I will never let you descend into this world!”

The huge flaming axe slashed at the treant’s avatar.

The fire element of the entire world converged and smashed towards the red holly.

At this moment, the treant, with only apprentice-level magical pressure, had no chance of withstanding it.

But at this moment, Hussein suddenly pressed his palm on Locke’s shoulder and then chanted a spell.

He wanted to curse Locke, and Locke’s bloodline was connected to the treant’s plant essence, because the treant was originally created by Locke.

Therefore, he could indirectly curse the treant from outside the world by cursing Locke’s bloodline.

The blood curse he cast was a second-circle spell, [Higher Treant Conversion Curse].

In an instant, the treant was forcibly demonized, the entire tree becoming eerie and ghostly, but the treant was directly strengthened into a liquefied, demonized treant.

Hussein directly usurped control of the treant.

Locke glanced at Hussein speechlessly.

“Higher Treant Conversion Curse? Isn’t that a spell specifically for botany? Without a specific enemy, you shouldn’t need to learn such an obscure curse spell…”

Hussein coughed.

“I have a habit of handling crises proactively. It’s not directed at anyone in particular. People should always consider relying on themselves at all times. Besides, haven’t I helped you now?”

“Your Moon Goddess Blessing Spell, combined with my High Tree Spirit Transformation Curse, can strengthen that tree spirit to the point where it can resist the power of that fire giant.”

Old Henry shook his head, saying, “I’m afraid it’s difficult. Look, all the giants have come down from the mountain.”

“They didn’t even give us a chance to unleash our power.”

Locke looked at the two and said, “It’s alright. The three tree spirits were just a smokescreen.”

Locke looked at the three-hole world.

‘The moment I unleashed my power, it seemed I seized the response to the principles of the world. It should be the principles of the forest. Is the principles of the world in this world open? Who can establish a response with it under certain conditions?’ ‘

If that’s the case, then there’s a fifth way to unleash the Saint’s incarnation: to use the power of the principles of the forest to unleash my Saint’s incarnation. It’s just a pity that the female giant didn’t die; it seems she was saved by that so-called supreme god.’ “

If that so-called supreme god hadn’t saved me, I could have used the Forest Law’s response to me just now to directly summon my Saintly avatar. Then I could have immediately launched a full-scale attack on them.”
