Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 877

Chapter 872 Fenrir the Wolf and His Encounter with a Transfiguration Wizard (102w) (Two Chapters Combined)

Locke stood on the Cave Garden. The Cave Garden’s energy could only exist for one magical plant, so Locke directly mobilized all the energy, pouring it into his Forest Sanctuary.

Ordinary wizards cannot use Cave Gardens for support, but they can use higher planes to support themselves, increasing their standing height.

However, Locke’s permanent defensive field was a forest, so he could use this Cave Garden to support his Forest Sanctuary, thus indirectly allowing the Cave Garden to support him.

Although this support was not as strong as the Root Realm, and the principle of support was different,

it was indeed possible to create this rudimentary version of the game through this alternative method. It’s like using a yoga ball as a chair; it’s uncomfortable and not very comfortable, but you can still use this method to simulate the Root Realm.

Countless verdant spiritual energies from within the Verdant Nursery Garden converged upon him, rapidly restoring the magical pressure he had previously lost. They also nourished his Forest Sanctuary, restoring it to full vitality, even surpassing its former glory, after many trees had perished there. The ancient

tree of life at the center of his Forest Sanctuary continuously absorbed these spiritual energies, its vitality growing ever stronger. These

spiritual energies represent hidden life force, and this Garden Garden, as a higher plane, channeled all the hidden life force that magical plants couldn’t utilize into a single magical plant, according to a specific power.

Standing atop this garden garden, Locke felt it wasn’t actually that large.

It was more like standing on a magnificent building, a vast palace.

Calling it a higher plane wasn’t quite accurate, which is why wizards called this kind of garden a Magical Plant Cave Heaven or a Magical Plant Secret Realm.

This small higher plane was essentially a disposable flowerpot for a second-ringed plant breeder.

At this moment, Locke heard a soft “Eh?” echo through the world, seemingly questioning whether a second-ring breeder could accomplish such a feat.

Locke then looked at the giants and dire wolves. In the next instant, he waved his hand, and Du Mu Nan Zhi, controlling the Golden Wheat, transformed it into a golden whip, lashing it upon the Earth Giant. With a “bang,” the Earth Giant turned into a cloud of blood mist.

At the moment of attack, the Earth Principles on his body dared not respond, forcing him to retreat. This meant he wasn’t actually using his true second-ring rank to withstand the blow, and he lacked the Wizard’s enduring defensive field, so he was instantly killed.

After his death, no energy dissipated, as all the radiance had been absorbed by the Golden Wheat.

The Golden Wheat was an autumnal magical plant, possessing the destructive power of autumn. All the surrounding giants felt their power continuously diminishing, and the dimensional principles that resonated with them were becoming increasingly chilling.

One strike killed a giant.

The dire wolves finally reacted and tried to attack Locke, but Locke watched them with interest, waved his hand, and a full moon instantly enveloped the wolves. They howled and rolled on the ground.

Locke had poured a bottle of apprentice-level dispelling potion, [Dispelling Revealing Potion], onto them using the moonlight.

He had bought this potion casually while researching Spiritualism at Golden Crown Mountain to broaden his knowledge,

but its effect was unexpectedly good .

The seven dire wolves looked at their pack of thousands behind them.

The pack was rolling on the ground, switching between human and dire wolf forms.

These dire wolves were all human.

Seeing this, Locke confirmed his guess.

“So that’s it, these dire wolves are all followers of a second-circle wizard’s ultimate magic, right?”

Followers are subordinate units of ultimate magic from the Transfiguration school.

Locke looked at the seven largest dire wolves.

“You are also Servants. No, one of you… has received proper wizarding training, because you possess a characteristic unique to wizards—a permanent defensive field.”

Locke waved his hand, and a surge of magical pressure suppressed a massive, first-ring crystallized demonic wolf.

The wolf howled and collapsed to the ground, its fur automatically transforming into three wolf heads that swirled around it, the three bronze wolf heads devouring the magical pressure Locke was releasing.

Locke smiled slightly at this sight.

“It really is a permanent defensive field. I remember this is the famous permanent defensive field from the Southern Wizarding Capital, the Fenrir Wolf Head. It requires a casting medium; it can transform magical items on your body into three Fenrir Wolf Heads, which can devour enemy attacks.”

Locke transformed the magical pressure into dragon’s might, instantly suppressing the Fenrir Wolf Heads’ spinning speed to its limit.

The other five crystallized demonic wolves howled in agony. They didn’t have Fenrir Wolf Heads as a permanent defensive field; blood flowed from their bodies, their bodies teetering on the brink of collapse.

The second-ring level dire wolf was clearly the avatar of that second-ring wizard.

If Locke’s guess was correct, a star-ring level second-ring wizard was trapped in the Dire Wolf Hell.

This second-ring dire wolf leader should be his will incarnation, the one who had just uttered a soft exclamation, wondering why a breeder could stand on his own created grotto garden and support himself.

A flash of anger appeared in the eyes of this second-ring dire wolf.

“Stop. This is my beloved disciple.”

“This wizard, we are brethren…”

The next moment, the golden sacred peach behind Locke, as a spring magic plant, suddenly bloomed with peach blossoms. Spring magic plants are spring-blooming magic, and under Locke’s overwhelming power, these peach blossoms, under the influence of spring’s power, transformed into countless rose-gold peach petals, attacking the dire wolves.

In an instant, the dire wolves suffered heavy casualties, and five crystallized level dire wolves were immediately beheaded.

The dire wolf with the permanent defensive force field, however, continued to exert its power with its Fenrir wolf head, and was not killed by Locke immediately.

The two-ringed demon wolf avatar was clearly furious. “No. Wizard, let’s talk this out. It was all a misunderstanding. I didn’t know who you were before.”

Locke sneered; even such a lie was being told.

The two-ringed demon wolf avatar opened its mouth, spewing out a stream of black mist that collided with the petals.

The power of spring could stimulate the growth of magical plants, increasing the number of petal blades that the golden peach tree naturally produced several times over in a short period of time.

The black mist collided with the peach petals.

Locke then took out the third magical plant—the summer magical plant: Pinellia.

The two-ringed demon wolf said, “My wizard friend, give me some face. I am a two-ringed Grand Wizard from the [Hornoch Academy] in the Southern Wizarding Capital. That’s a medium-sized wizarding academy, you…”

The next moment, Locke wielded Banxia, using [Summer Grass Firefly]. A magical spark struck the demon wolf, shattering its permanent defensive field. The wolf was engulfed in the spark, instantly killed.

Locke raised an eyebrow.

Holnoch Academy? Never heard of it.

And just a mid-sized wizarding university. Why should he give it any face?

He was a senior researcher at Golden Crown Mountain, and he believed that a researcher from a wizarding university of this caliber would be even more arrogant.

Especially Edgar.

The second-ring demon wolf was enraged.

“You don’t even give me a shred of face! Do you really want to force everyone to become your enemy?”

At this moment, the giants attempted to summon dimensional power to attack Locke.

Locke simply took out a six-branched, twelve-flowered Winter Green Plum in his left hand.

Twelve ice crystal flowers appeared on the Winter Green Plum, transforming into the power of winter’s sealing, and the twelve ice crystal flowers slashed towards the giants.

In an instant, the wolf giant was decapitated by its own hand, its body turning into ice crystals.

The war giant, who wanted to settle scores with Orion, had no chance anymore; its body was directly sliced in two by the plum blossom ice wheel.

The victory giant was a special case; its body shone with the radiance of victory, echoing the principles of victory in the sky. Thus, it successfully blocked one ice plum wheel, only to be sliced in half by the second.

The wind giantess flew into the air, using her ability to gather and disperse into form and fly at high altitudes to transform herself into wind, thus narrowly avoiding being sliced in half by the ice plum wheel.

However, twelve ice plum wheels surrounded the wind she had transformed into, circling around her like cutting through space, until the wind giantess was directly sealed by the power of winter’s sealing.

She became a giant block of ice.

A cylindrical block of ice.

Because she had become wind, she no longer had a specific form.

Ordinary people would mistake this cylindrical block of ice for just another piece of ice, but it actually concealed a giant king within.

The Wind Giantess attempted to use the Law of Wind to escape her predicament, only to be horrified to discover that Locke, having sealed her with Winter Magic Plants, had also sealed the Law of Wind with Winter Magic.

The Law of Wind of the Three Cave Worlds could not respond to her,

as it had been hidden away by Locke.

In an instant, the five giants were instantly annihilated by Locke, who stood atop the Verdant Nursery and Cave Garden.

While they were indeed no match for Locke at his peak, escape was still possible.

However, before engaging them, Locke had already devised a battle plan targeting all their abilities the moment they appeared.

The five giants had a chance of escape, and the probability was not low.

That was, the Earth Giant, upon seeing Locke, could immediately use the Law of Earth, causing it to respond to him, then open a fissure in the earth and head towards the earth’s core to temporarily hide from him.

He could then lead the other giants to hide deep within the plane.

The Three Hole Worlds weren’t small, being quite close to a medium-to-large-scale plane. If Locke tried to stop them, the Victory Giant among them could force a victory using the Law of Victory, preventing him from acting instantly.

Based on this, their chances of escape were quite high.

Therefore, Locke’s first target was the Earth Giant,

eliminating their only possible escape route.

At this moment, the entire area was littered with corpses, except for the second-ringed demon wolf avatar.

The second-ringed demon wolf avatar’s magic pressure was only ten thousand, ordinary, but it was actually manipulated by a second-ringed wizard, making it more troublesome than the giants.

The second-ringed demon wolf opened its mouth, and the black smoke it exhaled transformed into a swarm of bees, rushing towards Locke.

However, before they could get close, they were frozen into ice blocks by twelve large, large, glazed winter green plum blossom wheels.

“Sir, have you been out of wizarding civilization for too long? You’re still using this level of Transfiguration magic.”

Locke made his judgment. He had initially assumed Locke was a Star Ring Wizard when he saw his power system had given rise to a second-ring being, but after their exchange, he realized his mistake.

Locke was likely just an ordinary second-ring wizard.

His power system had met the requirements for Star Forging, but while Great Magic could achieve it, he didn’t seem to have enough resources to push him to Star Ring Wizard.

He was stuck here.

Moreover, he was probably trapped in the Wolf Hell.

Otherwise, given his situation, his first reaction upon seeing Locke wouldn’t have been to set a trap, but rather to try and make a deal, asking Locke to take him back to the wizarding world.

If he couldn’t leave this plane and return to the wizarding world because he lacked a Void Warship,

then this meant he was either blinded by greed and had gone mad trying to monopolize the world

, or he was trapped in a higher plane of this world, unable to leave and completely assimilated into it.

Locke guessed the latter.

The demonic wolf avatar gritted its teeth.

“Nicholas, the moment I saw you, I knew you were a menace. You’ll destroy everything we have sooner or later.”

A pair of black, fleshy wings resembling human hands appeared on the back of the demonic wolf king, each fingertip bearing an eye.

Locke glanced at it.

‘The transformation magic of Holnoch Academy, it seems, back then, leaned towards the transformation of magical creatures.’

That is, transforming oneself or some magical material into a magical creature, or combining the bodies of multiple magical creatures to create an ultimate composite magical creature.

Compared to bloodline magic, wizards of the transformation school, if they were to pursue the magical creature transformation route, would certainly not simply transform into a single magical creature.

That would lose the wizard’s greatest advantage.

Transforming from human to beast is generally not an advantage, but rather a disadvantage.

But transforming from human to a human-beast hybrid, or a [Mixed Beast] combining the advantages of multiple beasts, is different.

Locke saw the demonic wolf king’s five fleshy wings flap gently, and then it instantly disappeared from its original spot, appearing before him.

“Huh? Time stopped?”

The dragon head bud of the Dragon Rose in front of Locke proactively spewed dragon flames at the claws of the Demon Wolf King that had appeared before him. The

Demon Wolf King gritted his teeth, looking at Locke’s Dragon Rose, but couldn’t recall any relevant information.

‘Is this a newly developed magical plant by the wizarding civilization? Which bastard developed it? So troublesome.’

The Demon Wolf King’s claws collided with the dragon breath spewed from Locke’s Dragon Rose bud.

The next moment, in the blink of an eye, he appeared to Locke’s left, swinging his claws towards Locke’s cheek. The claws were modeled after the Nether Tiger, transformed into the Undead Tiger Claw, possessing terrifying death energy. If struck and piercing a wizard’s permanent defensive force field, it could instantly take a wizard’s life.

However, the second dragon head bud of the Dragon Rose still spewed dragon breath at him, forcing him back.

Locke’s eyes met the amber pupils at the tips of the five fleshy fingers on his back. He blinked again, and the Demon Wolf King’s avatar appeared behind him.

*Bang!*

The Necromancer’s Claw collided with the dragon breath emitted from the dragon head bud of his third Demon Dragon Rose.

The intense magical fluctuations caused Locke’s wizard robes to flutter wildly.

The Demon Wolf King was about to teleport again, but Locke activated his Innate Demon Eye on his forehead, meeting the eyes on the Demon Wolf King’s wings.

‘It can’t be teleportation or time-stopping,’

Locke thought. ‘Time is the foundation of the world; neither can manifest as a principle of the world.’

‘A second-circle wizard, unless they’re from the Conjuration school, probably doesn’t have such an ability. So it’s probably…’

Locke’s Innate Demon Eye met the eyes on his five-fingered wings.

The next moment, he reappeared before him, but before the Demon Wolf King could attack again, a Sea Gold Sand Flowing Gold Fern Spear appeared like lightning.

‘Bang!’

The Demon Wolf King’s avatar screamed in agony. He could only temporarily use shapeshifting magic to transform into a demon monkey, thus dodging the fatal blow originally aimed at his heart.

Through the transformation, he changed the location of the Demon Wolf King’s heart into the demon monkey’s leg.

The demon monkey’s leg, however, had already been pierced through by the Second Ring Sea Gold Sand.

Locke used his innate magic eye to discover that the opponent’s so-called teleportation ability was actually just using eye magic to alter others’ perception of the flow of time, creating the illusion that he could teleport instantly.

This was merely a kind of innate magical ability of magical creatures, a magic similar to the illusion school.

As long as one was stared at by the eyes on the opponent’s wings, one’s perception of the flow of time would be instantly distorted.

But he had just pre-set the attack direction of the Second Ring Sea Gold Sand to be in front of him.

Therefore, the opponent’s move failed.

“You don’t even have a permanent defensive field anymore?”

Locke didn’t expect that just a single Golden Fern Spear could beat such a powerful Second Ring Wizard so badly.

But he quickly realized that this was because the opponent didn’t have a permanent defensive field.

It seemed the opponent’s condition was worse than he had imagined.

The demonic monkey transformed from the Demon Wolf King wore a complete set of priestly robes, a green band around its forehead, and a priestly hat. Locke remembered reading about this type of demonic monkey in a magazine.

This was a priestly monkey.

It possessed a special bloodline talent, allowing it to seek out people with high-level bloodline power. It also possessed a natural spell called “Degeneration Claw,” which could cause the victim to degenerate some of their innate abilities if struck by it.

For example, bloodline talent, soul aptitude, and so on.

At this moment, after the Demon Wolf King transformed into a Demon Monkey, he was immediately stunned, because no one knew better than him just how high-level Locke’s bloodline was.

“This is…” “

A World-Destroying Demon Dragon? This is impossible. Even if there are World-Destroying Demon Dragon bloodlines in the wizarding world, they are at most at the first ring level. How could there be a second-ring World-Destroying Demon Dragon?”

“I have read Holnoch’s monster atlas and have not found any monster subspecies with the second-ring World-Destroying Demon Dragon bloodline.”

The priest monkey dragged his injured leg, trying to escape from the place.

Locke immediately followed, and a long dragon appeared from his left sleeve. It was the Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern. Although Locke’s efforts to control it alone made it somewhat difficult to control this ancient magical plant, as a second-ring universal botanical spell model developed by modern wizarding civilization, he could still barely control this ancient magical plant.

The Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern transformed into a wooden dragon, suddenly extending forward and attacking the priest monkey.

The priest monkey, dragging his injured leg, staggered and limped. Suddenly, he turned, his right hand swelling and enlarging, enveloped in white magical light. He swung a claw behind him. This

was a magical creature’s magical talent: Degenerate Claw.

He had only pretended to flee, intending to strike at Locke the moment he attacked, giving Locke a chance to escape.

The Overlord n*ked Fern collided with the Degenerate Claw, a surge of [Wild Surge] erupting from it.

The instant they met, the Overlord n*ked Fern viciously bit into the claw.

“Ah~”

the Demon Wolf King’s avatar screamed.

“What happened?”   Locke glanced at him;

the right degenerate claw of the demon monkey he had transformed into showed signs of being bitten off.   The Priest Monkey is a second-circle magical creature species improved from the Beast Taming sub-direction of the Summoning School, and this second-circle wizard from Holnoch Academy had clearly dissected a Priest Monkey.   However, since it’s a product of modern magic, it means the Priest Monkey’s bloodline essence must have been meticulously designed.   The Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern, as an ancient magical plant, can fish for the Imaginary Sea with its imaginary roots, occasionally yielding a wisp of Wild Surge Spiritual Breath with the spiritual energy it catches.   It has already accumulated a wisp of Wild Surge Spiritual Breath.   This Wild Surge energy has a unique characteristic: it specifically destroys intricate and delicate things.   Spell models can be destroyed, as can carefully designed bloodline essence blueprints.   The Degenerate Claw is also a product of the wizard’s meticulous design, so it wasn’t the Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern that was degenerated, but rather the Priest Monkey’s Degenerate Claw that was degenerated.   The Priest Monkey opened its mouth wide in pain; it immediately realized that the Mountain Dragon n*ked Fern was attempting to inject a wisp of spiritual breath into its body.   This was surprisingly a rare offensive type of spiritual breath.   He instantly chanted a spell, opened his mouth wide, and the hole connecting his mouth to his digestive tract moved directly inside his body. Through a series of transformations, he cast three extremely difficult transformation spells in a short time. Then, using the homotopic equivalence transformation of his mouth to the opening between his digestive and excretory tracts, he transferred it to the location of his right arm, which had been bitten by the hymenopterus.   In this way, the hymenopterus missed its target.   He freed himself from the hymenopterus and immediately transformed again, transferring the hole to his leg, causing the second-ring sea gold dust to fall from his legs.   This was a second-ring transformation spell—[Body Hole Transformation Charm]!   He could use this spell repeatedly, under the rules of transformation, to rearrange and redistribute the holes inside his body.   After all, the human chest cavity is not a sealed structure, containing two major passageways: the digestive and respiratory tracts. He could use these two holes to continuously move within his body, enlarging or shrinking the holes to evade certain attacks.   Moreover, this was the foundation of his immense magic.   The avatar of the Demon Wolf King only wanted to escape.   Locke summoned the Golden Peach, the Spring Demon Plant, preparing to use the “One Tree Cannot Hold Its Own” technique again, but he frowned.   Suddenly, a principle of death floated from the corpse of the demon wolf giant he had killed. Under its influence, the giant’s body, which he had severed in two, rapidly revived, crawling on the ground with its hands and forcibly sewing itself back together.   Locke saw the demon wolf giant rise from the ground, still panting.   The demon wolf giant had also resurrected two other giants: the Victory Giant and the War Giant.   ”Hmm? Not resurrecting the Earth Giant?”   Locke pondered in a flash. “If he resurrects the Earth Giant, he can have it tear the earth apart and return to the Demon Wolf Hell through it.”   ”Oh, right, resurrecting the Victory Giant is necessary. The Law of Death in this world isn’t that strong; it’s difficult for him to fully resurrect himself. But combining the Law of Death with the Law of Victory can strengthen his Law of Death, allowing him to resurrect.”   ”Because his power increased, he casually resurrected the War Giant? But he definitely made the wrong choice. If he had replaced the War Giant with the Earth Giant, it would have significantly increased his chances of escaping my clutches.”   Locke saw the Demon Wolf King’s avatar transform into a ghostly deer, charging directly into the earth and disappearing into the ground.   Because of his ghostly deer form, and the fact that he had been operating in this world for hundreds of years, Locke hadn’t had time to capture him.   Originally, Locke had his eye on his avatar.   After all, the spirituality of these giant natives was nowhere near as pure as his, a second-circle wizard’s.   Unfortunately, he still managed to escape.   The moment the second-circle wizard of Holnoch Academy, the Wolf King, successfully escaped into the underworld, Locke immediately changed his strategy. He decided not to kill the wolf giant for now.   Of the three giants, the War Giant glared at Locke, preparing to attack again, but unfortunately, his War Principles showed fear towards him, refusing to respond and attacking Locke instead,   because he deemed the difference in strength too great.   The Victory Giant encountered a similar situation; even if they wanted to attack Locke, they couldn’t.   Locke glanced at the wolf giant who had already turned and fled towards hell, casually waving the Golden Peach of Spring, and countless rose-gold peach petals rained down, instantly killing the two giants who had just been resurrected by the wolf giant.   Locke glanced at the fleeing wolf giant and did not continue the pursuit.

His eyes gleamed as he calculated, “This way, there are essentially three players in this world. One is me, one is that second-ring wizard from Holnoch Academy, and the other is the Eye of the Ring. That second-ring wizard is my biggest threat.”

“He’s been operating here longer than me. I can’t underestimate any second-ring wizard; I need to go all out.”

“Moreover…”

Even if the second-ring wizard couldn’t defeat him, he had various ways to make him lose. For example, he could easily corrupt the World Stone, injecting a portion of his will into it, drastically reducing its value.

Therefore, when Locke discovered that there was another second-ring wizard immigrant in this world, he immediately understood that this person was his greatest threat.

Thus, Locke decided not to pursue the Wolf Giant.

The Wolf Giant was clearly used by the Eye of the Ring to control the second-ring wizard. If he killed the Wolf Giant, the second-ring wizard would obviously gain complete control of Wolf Hell.

He would be doing the wizard a huge favor.

Conversely, if he didn’t kill the wolf giant he had driven mad, the wolf giant’s escape back to the Wolf Hell would actually do him a favor, preventing the second-ring wizard from having a peaceful environment.

Locke snapped his fingers, and instantly the bronze cauldron bound to his soul appeared, inverted in the air, using the reverse refining method to transform the bodies of the three giants, thousands of wolves, and six crystallized wolves below into spirits, and immediately began refining the Zero Elixir. Locke

immediately refined three and a half portions of the Zero Elixir.

He drank one portion of the Zero Elixir, closed his eyes, and the spirit within his soul rapidly transformed into spiritual light.

In a short time, the losses incurred from using the Spirit Breath Cultivation Method were completely compensated.

Locke opened his eyes and saw that the morale of the city-state alliance army had plummeted due to the giants’ defeat, and in a short time, they began to turn and flee in disarray.

An alliance had completely turned into a farce.

Seeing the wolf giant about to flee, Orion surprisingly abandoned the pursuit of the mortals and prepared to chase after the wolf giant instead.

Locke stopped him.

“Orion, there’s no need to chase.”

Orion looked at Locke in confusion.

“Teacher Tree Man, but we clearly won, why not take this opportunity to kill him?”

Locke glanced at Orion; the situation was far more complicated than Orion had imagined.

Locke looked at the Wind Giantess he had sealed with the Great Glazed Winter Green Plum.

‘That divine eye probably knows that this ambush to kill me is likely to fail.’ Locke

pondered, “So he sent down five giants, partly as a gamble, but also for a second purpose: to eliminate the problematic giants.”

“Two of the five giants he sent are problematic. They’re using me to kill. Those who fight me are likely loyal to the Eye of God. This Wind Giant’s first reaction was to turn into wind and escape; she’s probably closely related to Nicholas.”

“And that Wolf Giant also chose to flee. His stance is probably problematic too. The Eye of God is using me to kill.”

Locke thought, “That guy is cunning and treacherous. He’s a slippery old eel that’s been burrowing in the mire of this world for thousands of years. Although weak, he’s struggling in my hands, and I haven’t found an opportunity to crush him yet.”

Locke sensed the principles of this world.

“So that’s how it is. I’ve killed too many people who resonate with the principles of the world. The more I kill, the more debt I owe to this world.”

“The worse the world’s recognition of me becomes. The harder it is for me to get a response from the world’s principles. The fact that he specifically sent five giants down for me to kill is probably related to my other half, Nicholas.”

“He doesn’t want me to prove the world’s principles left by Nicholas.”

Locke looked at his captives, but his other half definitely had close contact with the Wind Giant. If he captured the Wind Giant, he should be able to obtain information related to his other half.

Suddenly, cracks began to appear on the garden cave beneath Locke’s feet. His ancient tree of life extended countless imaginary roots, frantically absorbing the verdant spiritual energy within the cave, causing his ancient tree of life to grow continuously.

‘Bang~’

The cracks on the surface of the Verdant Nursery Garden Cave increased.

Locke deliberately stepped down. Although this garden cave was already half-damaged, it had never actually been used to cultivate a single magical plant, so it could still maintain its existence.

By stepping down now, he could use it once more in the future.

Locke had nowhere to put it, so he temporarily suspended it in the sky above the mortal realm of the Three Caves World.

“We still need to refine the Garden Cave Heaven three more times. The pure spiritual energy exposed on the surface of the Azure Spirit Ore isn’t enough. I used ten strands of Azure Spirit Energy to complete this cave heaven.”

Locke pondered for a moment, then manipulated the Garden Cave Heaven, releasing the energy of the Azure Spirit Energy within.

With the support of this higher plane’s energy, Locke helped the two descend into their Saintly incarnations, Hussein and Old Henry.

Meanwhile, except for a first-ring witch from the Prophecy School who stayed behind as the exploration vanguard, the other six first-ring wizards donned wizard robes and masks, entering this world.

Six shooting stars appeared in the sky above the Three Caves World.

Immediately afterward, two Saintly incarnations pierced the long night, descending directly into the mortal realm of the Three Caves World!

These people quickly converged on Locke.

Orion looked at the group of wizards with some unease; he could sense that each of them was stronger than him, and none of them were easy to provoke.

Yet these wizards appeared before him in droves.

Hussein crossed his arms and said, “Locke, you’re really efficient. One fishing trip and you’ve figured out all the enemies in this plane.”

“What’s your next move? Are you going to attack the crater, or enter the afterlife of this world?”

Old Henry rubbed his nose. “Who would have thought that wizards have already set foot in this world?”

His eyes were filled with greed.

“This world belongs to us… no, it belongs to the captain. No one can take it from us.”

Locke knew that Old Henry, as a stubborn pirate, just felt that at this moment, he, as a pirate, had to be stubborn and show his greed, otherwise he felt it wouldn’t be right.

At the same time, on the crater, after seeing Locke summon his companions to descend, a deep worry appeared in his pupils.

But he quickly thought of something, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

“Finally, this moment has arrived. Almost all the wizards have landed, which isn’t good for me;

it’s like they’re handing over the entire mortal realm to me.” “But actually, I’ve been waiting for this moment too. These wizards are too powerful. Just like the last batch, I only have two stages to defeat them. The first is to destroy the power they’ve deployed before they land.”

“The second is when they land en masse.”

…

Three-hole world, the mortal realm.

Locke crushed the sealing stone, releasing the illusionist wizard at the vaporization stage, and said, “First, mining this Verdant Spirit Essence Mine is very important to us. I need you, the official wizards, to help me establish a mining plant here.”

“I can use the rangers I’ve trained.”

“I need your help to mine the Verdant Spirit Essence here.”

The seven official wizards exchanged glances. Having witnessed Locke’s methods, and being wizards hired by Locke, they naturally had no reason to refuse.

Only one of the crystallized wizards from the Protection School asked in a low voice, “Lord Augustine, there’s just a small problem.” Locke said

, “Speak.”

The crystallized wizard whispered, “The concentration gradient of the magical tides in the present world is too low. If we stay here for a long time, our magical pressure will decline and our spiritual light will be depleted, without any replenishment…”

Locke pointed to the cave above their heads. “You don’t need to worry about that. This cave can draw energy from the verdant spiritual energy, that is, the power of the verdant spiritual energy used to construct it can all be called upon.”

“Very efficient.”

“I can use the cave to convert the concentration gradient of the magical tides, releasing a massive amount of magical power every day, and set up a magic array nearby to lock the magical tides. In this way, we can create a localized area of medium magic. You can stay in it without worry.”

The crystallized wizard bowed to Locke.

“Then I have no more questions, Lord Augustine.”

The other six wizards also nodded.

Locke said to Hussein and Henry, “We have plenty of manpower now. You two can each choose a higher plane to launch a probing attack. The connection between the crater and the heavens has been severed, but I have a way to deal with them, so we don’t need to worry about it. Now, you only need to help me launch probing attacks on the Sea Realm and the Underworld.”

“Besides, the planes of this world are very special. I believe that finding my half-body will immediately unravel the mystery.”

“Therefore, I need to deal with this female giant prisoner in my hands first and ask her about my half-body.”

The old pirate Henry was impatient.

“Then I choose to attack the Wolf Hell. I want to see what level that second-circle wizard from the Halloch Academy is at.”

Hussein glanced at him, then said to Locke, “Then I’ll go find the Sea Realm.”

Locke nodded. “Then I’ll leave it to you two.”

Locke’s gaze fell on the Wind Giantess.

“The Iron Giant doesn’t know the inside story, but this Wind Giantess seems to have spoken with Nicholas and knows a lot of inside information.”

Otherwise, the Divine Eye wouldn’t have wanted to use him to kill her.

Locke was about to ride the Demonic Dragon Rose away to interrogate the giant when a n*ked blacksmith suddenly appeared from the direction of the city-state of Delius.

He approached Locke and abruptly knelt before him, but was helped up by a rapidly growing bush.

“Master Augustine, please… don’t kill her…”

“Eleanor… she was forced. She herself is confused.”
