Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems

Chapter 618: Twin Demon Realm Descends! Resistance from the Black Factory!

In the Land of Six Towers, within the White Dragon Tower, Alicia heard from Locke's master's side about him participating in the Spell Combat Tournament, so she asked other wizards to purchase the Spell Combat Tournament livestream for her.Alicia gazed at a basin of water hyacinth before her, watching the scene within where Locke and Antoine fought in a perilous battle, and slightly frowned.

"I hope Locke can win. But the opponent is also very formidable, so Locke may not necessarily win."

"But I still hope Locke can win."

The soul of Grand Wizard Sulla, looking at the scene above the water hyacinth, found it somewhat unbelievable that this was Locke Augustine from the Land of Six Towers three years ago.

Grand Wizard Sulla said, "Now, the power of these two wizards in this match has already surpassed me at that time."

"I didn't expect Locke's growth would still exceed my expectations."

"At this growth rate, he should be very close to becoming a Second Circle wizard. However, Alicia, you're not bad either. You truly deserve to be a genius of our Plutarch family..."

"Of course, from this perspective, the relationship between you and Locke is indeed a very valuable investment."

"The return rate will be very high."

"I was very optimistic about him back then."

Alicia frowned and said nothing.

...

On Arena No. 1, Locke frowned. Antoine had already changed from his previous fighting style. That uncomfortable feeling of being spied on was gone.

That previous fighting style was completely a Third Circle wizard's prediction of him.

That feeling of maggots clinging to bones, following like a shadow, was truly uncomfortable.

From just now, Antoine's fighting style had completely changed. The battle between the two also became closer to frontal combat.

Although that was the case, he was still at a disadvantage.

Due to the existence of No-Thought Crushing Fist, Antoine partially freed himself from dependence on his eyes, so he could dodge his attacks.

Under the enhancement of Kineticist School spells, his fists and feet were all weapons—Crushing Fist and Hundred Splitting Kicks combined to attack.

Moreover, he could still manipulate eighteen magical artifact iron balls to form a killing formation, summoning the Wind-Thunder Twin Wheels and magical artifact wires to launch sneak attacks from the side.

Of course, he himself was using his magic eye's insight power to the limit, simultaneously perceiving all attacks. He could always use high mobility to dodge while using Tyrant Fern Spear to attack when opportunities arose.

Antoine's eyes became increasingly serious, his speed increasingly fast. At the same time, a pebble shot from his left hand, penetrating Locke's left shoulder like a cannon.

"This speed..." Locke quickly retreated backward, pulling distance from him. The speed of that magic just now was so fast that even though Locke saw it, his body couldn't dodge.

Locke looked at the bloody hole on his left shoulder. 'He used alchemy to strengthen an ordinary stone's hardness, then used Kineticist School magic to increase the stone's high-speed kinetic energy.'

Antoine looked at Locke. A rare trace of excitement appeared in his eyes, along with seriousness toward Locke as an opponent. He showed a completely different attitude from before. "Locke, even if you can see this speed, you can't dodge it, right?"

"This is Impulse Ejection Curse. It can convert the time I hold the stone into kinetic energy. The Kineticist School believes 'force' is this world's most fundamental core form. All things in the world are composed of force."

"Although ordinary kineticists probably wouldn't have such formidable inheritance."

Antoine once again placed a pebble in his hand.

At the same time, he looked at Locke seriously. The power he had originally prepared to reserve, he now no longer reserved and began fully deploying.

He rushed toward Locke. The moment his fist approached Locke, his spiritual fluctuation suddenly transformed into kinetic energy. In an instant, a blast of air attacked Locke.

The next moment, another Hundred Splitting Kicks was launched.

Spiritual fluctuations were continuously transformed into kinetic energy.

At the same time, eighteen iron balls surrounded Locke and attacked.

Because Locke had been injured just now, his movements became increasingly slow. At this moment, Antoine seized the opportunity to use [Impulse Ejection Curse], shooting the second pebble toward Locke's chest. Immediately, that Impulse Ejection Curse penetrated the Immortal Dragon Scales' defensive layer and injured his abdomen.

Antoine went further, standing still and assuming a punching stance, while gripping a third pebble in his hand.

He just continued using eighteen magical artifacts to besiege Locke.

Seeing this scene, Locke continuously tried to break through with Tyrant Fern Spear, while realizing why the opponent would stand still.

"He can use No-Thought Crushing Fist to convert spiritual changes into kinetic energy. He can also use Impulse Ejection Curse to convert holding time into kinetic energy. This way, Antoine is accumulating kinetic energy every moment using holding time and spiritual changes. Although I don't know its upper limit value, if I continue letting him charge up, my situation will become very dangerous."

"Moreover, he can probably use Impulse Ejection Curse to convert all his charged time into kinetic energy."

Most critically, as an object controller, Antoine could still manipulate eighteen magical artifacts to besiege Locke while charging on the side without contact.

Locke looked at Antoine and frowned. 'What a terrifying combination attack. So I can't casually attack or approach his attack range.'

'But continuing to delay has little meaning. If he can transfer all the kinetic energy of his charged attack to that pebble, that would be bad.'

'He's forcing me to make a choice.'

Locke looked at Antoine and frowned.

But the most important thing now was still to figure out why this guy's total magic pressure was so large.

The opponent's total magic pressure had reached an extremely outrageous level.

If the opponent's total magic pressure wasn't so large, he couldn't use this combination magic either.

No-Thought Crushing Fist itself seemed very consuming of magical power.

Moreover, if his observation was correct, the charging process of Kineticist School magic required consuming his magical power. It wasn't a perpetual motion machine.

It still obeyed the law of conservation of energy.

The reason Antoine's No-Thought Crushing Fist and Impulse Ejection Curse could be so formidable, like his object controller abilities, the core mechanism was all because his total magic pressure was so large.

'To break this mystery, I actually still have a method. For an archaeologist.' Locke thought.

...

At the judges' seats, the Fischer family's Throne Wizard looked at Wizard Fischer and said, "I didn't expect Antoine could actually skillfully use No-Thought Crushing Fist. I previously thought he hadn't fully mastered our Council of Elders' inheritance."

Wizard Fischer was also surprised, "Actually, before this match, he also couldn't fully master No-Thought Crushing Fist. He never knew why his use of No-Thought Crushing Fist sometimes worked and sometimes didn't."

"Probably Locke Augustine is a rare peer who can give him pressure. So in battle with him, he thoroughly mastered No-Thought Crushing Fist. However, I told Antoine before the match that no matter what, he must learn to hide his abilities and not show his excellence."

"After all, there's still the Plane Conquest Competition. To deal with Locke, he only needs to use one of Impulse Ejection Curse or No-Thought Crushing Fist. But I don't know why he exposed his trump cards, exposing all his magical inheritance."

"And he's so serious..."

"This is probably the first time I've seen him treat something so seriously."

Witch Yekaterina glanced at them and sneered disdainfully. "Look at that child's eyes and you'll know what his real thoughts are. Being a shrinking turtle has no promise."

"He's actually very happy to truly fight with Locke."

Wizard Fischer said awkwardly, "Throne, how can you speak so crudely?"

The Fischer family's Throne Wizard snorted coldly. "Better manage your own student. Yekaterina."

"He's about to lose."

Witch Yekaterina looked at him coldly. "What, do you want to compete with me too?"

The Fischer family's Throne Wizard was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and looked toward a direction in the Cloud Arena.

The White Elephant Group member who had fought Locke yesterday was walking in a daze. His pupils revealed deep despair, like a walking corpse.

"You geniuses have never known the pain of us wizards living at the bottom. For some resources, we can only sell our time and lives, enduring enormous magical pollution, all for a tiny bit of resources..."

"This arena is your geniuses' place to make names, your wizards' place to climb upward, but it's the graveyard of us 'failures' without enough talent. White wizards, I'm unwilling!"

The Second Circle demon hunter wizard responsible for watching him immediately used the demon hunter earring to notify most demon hunters to watch that wizard.

"The Twin Demon Realm wizard's state is very abnormal. Pay attention!"

"However, under our surveillance, nothing should go wrong. Also watch all other suspicious targets discovered before."

That wizard who walked unsteadily step by step walked before Arena No. 1, mumbling unclearly, "Steal the sky and swap the sun, call a deer a horse, Twin Demon Realm, fire stealers are eternal..."

At the same time, his face began to blur.

"Ahahaha..."

"What the Twin Demon Realm wants, they can always get. You white wizards systematically oppress and exploit us, forcing us to black factories to live for your glamour. Then we black wizards will simply overturn your chessboard. What can't be traded, we'll rob; what can't be earned, we'll steal..."

"Twin Demon Realm is wizard civilization's hope..."

Immediately, the sun in the sky suddenly experienced an eclipse, as if a dark hand grabbed the sun and stole... the sun away.

At the same time, this black wizard's facial appearance and spirituality all transformed into another person.

Simultaneously, traces of magic formations appeared throughout the Cloud Arena.

Hidden magic potions in various corners suddenly shattered and emitted abnormal fragrance, spreading throughout the venue.

A card, one side completely black and one side completely white, appeared in the center of the Cloud Arena ground.

However, facing such a shocking change, Golden Crown Mountain's Third Circle wizards either sneered, showed indifference, or ignored it, as if having cards up their sleeves.

As that card appeared, world power descended. Twin Demon Realm's world power was summoned here through ritual magic.

The wizard world and Twin Demon Realm's world powers merged. With Third Circle wizards on both sides, they automatically merged into a world battlefield, entering the [Demon Realm War] state.

...

On Arena No. 1, Antoine glanced at the suddenly darkening sky around them, then said to Locke, "Locke, I don't know what happened. It seems black wizards attacked the arena."

"But we're fighting so happily. Look, we're still at the deciding point."

"Maybe the next moment you'll lose."

"How about..."

At this moment, at the Cloud Arena, a Throne Wizard's voice appeared. "All matches are currently suspended. Some disturbance has occurred, but we will end this temporary demon realm war as soon as possible."

"The match is temporarily interrupted. After ending the war, it will continue."

"The livestream won't stop."

Antoine said regretfully, "It's suspended. I was just getting excited. In that case, then we'll..."

Locke continuously shuttled between eighteen magical artifacts with Tyrant Fern Spear. "It's fine. Don't stop. Let's just keep fighting like this."

Locke's eyes revealed dragon pupils, full of battle intent, and his face showed madness. "There are Third Circle Throne Wizards here. We don't need to worry at all. Antoine, I won't take advantage of you. Let's continue fighting."

Antoine froze, then laughed heartily. "You're really interesting. Alright, I'll end the battle quickly."

Locke looked at him coldly. "You want to end quickly? That line should be mine to say."

He took out a porcelain moon from his star realm ring.

At this moment, the venue was chaotic. Black wizards and white wizards were fighting. White wizards were rioting and fleeing. Twin Demon Realm fire stealers had unclear motives.

Moreover, an eclipse appeared. Darkness surrounded them.

But in this darkness, a bright moon appeared. The devoured light appeared again.

Moonlight fell. Each of Locke's magical plants was strengthened. The porcelain-like moon had a smooth, perfect surface.

Under this porcelain moon's illumination, Locke's power received comprehensive strengthening again.

Antoine froze. "You actually still reserved such a trump card. I originally thought you'd use Peach Bow Thorn Arrow."

Beside Arena No. 1, a Second Circle wizard from the Tower of Transmutation looked at Locke's porcelain moon in astonishment. For an instant, he even thought it was Grand Magic.

That moon already possessed the embryonic form of Grand Magic, containing Locke's understanding of botany and ecology.

That moon also illuminated the surroundings.

At the same time, beside Arena No. 1, that White Elephant Group wizard showed a terrified expression, because at this moment his face had completely become Wizard Shirley from Golden Crown Mountain's Elm Garden.

Wizard Shirley looked confused, struggling to break free from the demon hunters' control. "How am I here? Why are you arresting me?"

At the same time, beside Arena No. 1, the original Shirley's face became the face of that White Elephant Group wizard.

His face dark, he looked at Locke and Antoine still fighting, his expression grim. "Damn it, these two are too arrogant. During demon realm war, they actually still dare to continue competing."

"Simply don't put us fire stealers in their eyes."

A Third Circle wizard wearing black robes came behind him, palm pressing on his shoulder. "Hehe, Cole, why be so angry?"

That palm held a card, one side white, one side black.

The voice was gentle, like a woman's, yet was a man's voice.

Wizard Cole respectfully looked at this black wizard. "Fire Saint Wizard, you've come. According to the plan you formulated, this is our Twin Demon Realm's first attempt at stealing white wizard geniuses' talents."

Twin Demon Realm's Fire Saint Wizard extended that jade-white finger. "Dong... dong..."

Those Second Circle demon hunters trying to approach him discovered in terror that their walking distance had been stolen. No matter how they approached, they couldn't advance a single step.

The Fire Saint Wizard, having stolen their movement distance, appeared before Witch Yekaterina the next moment.

Witch Yekaterina said impatiently, "It's you again, thief. What are you planning to steal today?"

"Can Twin Demon Realm go one day without stealing?"

Twin Demon Realm black wizards' stealing power came from Twin Demon Realm's world power. All Twin Demon Realm black wizards were essentially extensions of that world's puppets.

Extremely harmful.

The side effects were also great. Twin Demon Realm routinely devoured its own black wizards to supplement world power. After all, its scope was too large.

If someone was talented enough, they would be devoured early by the greedy Twin Demon Realm.

Therefore, choosing to become a Twin Demon Realm black wizard was truly choosing a path of self-destruction. Even the possibility of retirement and stable life was gone.

A path of no return.

Fire Saint Wizard looked at the three Golden Crown Mountain Third Circle wizards surrounding him and curved his lips. "Don't despise theft so much. Theft can balance wealth, letting money from rich people's pockets fall into poor people's pockets."

"I prefer to view theft as a form of sharing."

Fire Saint Wizard had his hands in his pockets, as if feeling no pressure. "Just recently, I discovered a new stealing technique. I came here to practice it."

Fire Saint Wizard said, "I discovered how to use Twin Demon Realm's world power to steal others' talents."

Wizard Fischer said, "Absurd. That's impossible!"
