Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 416 - 246: Annihilated on the First Day

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The booming sound, like thunder, echoed high in the sky, occasionally mixed with the crisp sound of shattered bones!

Under the dense onslaught of black tentacles, Milton’s bone armor rapidly crumbled and shattered, turning into bone fragments that fell like rain.

The regeneration speed of the bone armor couldn’t keep up with the speed of its disintegration!

In just three or four breaths, the once solid bone armor had become tattered, and Milton’s figure could be seen through the numerous cracks.

"Damn it!"

Milton, overwhelmed with shock and anger, let out a fierce roar, and the remaining bone armor suddenly shattered, shooting countless fragments in all directions.

These bone fragments seemed to contain some kind of corrosive energy, managing to create dents on the hard metallic tentacles upon impact.

As the damage accumulated, the surrounding black tentacles were soon riddled with holes, and many even broke off completely.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The tentacles swiftly retracted.

Milton finally managed to catch his breath, and only then did he see the attacker’s form clearly.

They were four massive squid puppets, their black metallic bodies glistening with a chilling sheen under the sunlight.

"Master-Touch Puppets! How could the signature puppets of the Starfall Association appear here?"

Recognizing the origin of the puppets, Milton couldn’t help but be startled.

The Starfall Association supposedly perished two thousand years ago due to internal strife, with all their knowledge lost along with their Fallen Star City. How could there still be Master-Touch Puppets?

However, reality left Milton no time to ponder as the secret puppet maiden quickly attacked again.

The four Master-Touch Puppets also crawled out of the building, their tentacles somehow regrown, and shimmering with colorful magical auras.

Witnessing this, Milton’s heart sank to the bottom.

Five wizard-level puppets, even if there were two of him, would be no match!

...

Inside the Wizard Tower, beside the Elemental Pool.

Sunan sat cross-legged on the ground, holding an Elemental Crystal Core, absorbing and assimilating the divine energy within.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when he slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath, his eyes filled with joy.

"Finally broke through."

After nearly three hundred years, he finally advanced to the Crystallization Stage.

At this moment, deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the spiritual power around the second Talent Crystal had already condensed into crystal grains, encircling the Talent Crystal like a star belt, slowly flowing, breathtakingly beautiful.

"My spiritual power has increased significantly."

Sunan revealed a satisfied smile.

With this, the Engraving Gemstones and Witchcraft Artifacts could be further synthesized and strengthened.

[Talent Specialization] and [Spiritual Reservoir] could also continue to be synthesized and strengthened, or a third spiritual talisman could be engraved.

However, these were secondary; the most important thing since the beginning about advancing to Level 2 Crystallization was always only one.

"Now I can construct the third Talent Crystal Model!"

Sunan’s eyes sparkled with keen interest.

He had long planned for the third Talent Ability, aiming to design an ultimate attack talent ability.

He had been researching the corresponding Talent Crystal Model over the years.

After more than five hundred years, the new Talent Crystal Model was already developed.

It was derived from the higher-tier Talent Crystal Model ’Fallen Star’ of the Starfall Association, using ’Fallen Star’ as the original model and adding inspirations from other Talent Crystal Models and magical items, taking over five hundred years to complete the design.

Although the specific effects will only be known after successful construction, Sunan was certain that this talent ability would never disappoint him.

He named it ’Starfall Rain.’

As another super Talent Crystal Model, the complexity of the ’Starfall Rain’ model was no lower than that of ’Liquid Metal’ and ’Absolute Prohibition.’

However, with ample Construction Potion available, Sunan estimated it would take at most two years to construct the Talent Crystal Model.

The key was still the final step of spiritual power infusion.

The spiritual power required to fill the third Talent Crystal would undoubtedly far exceed the first two.

Even though the energy particle concentration of the Starlight Continent had already returned to normal, with the buff from the large Elemental Pool, Sunan estimated it would still take at least four to five hundred years, or even more.

"However, once the sealing of dimensions is lifted, I can trade resources with other wizard forces, perhaps finding items to accelerate the infusion of spiritual power, saving considerable time."

Sunan felt somewhat invigorated.

Calming the excitement from the breakthrough, he took a deep breath and prepared to start constructing the Talent Crystal Model.

But just then, there was a sudden shift in his expression, and he vanished from his original spot.

Reappearing, he was already in the study, his gaze falling on Lize behind the desk.

"What’s wrong, for you to summon me in such a hurry?"

Lize didn’t answer but scrutinized Sunan with a slight smile surfacing on her face.

"You’ve broken through?"

"Indeed." Sunan nodded, "I just broke through and received your message."

"Congratulations."

Lize wasn’t too surprised.

Her understanding of cultivation had been shattered and reshaped many times because of Sunan.

Sunan’s breakthrough at this time, in her view, seemed almost inevitable.

Collecting her thoughts, Lize proceeded to discuss the matter at hand.

"The wizards of the Dark Throne have arrived."

Sunan’s gaze instantly sharpened: "How many have come?"

"According to the monitoring by the Eye of the Star, there are fourteen energy particle fluctuations. The Witch Hunting Legion has already been dispatched to capture them, and there should be news soon."

No sooner had she finished speaking, Attila walked in from outside.

"Teacher, Master Xingyun." Attila bowed to the two of them.

Lize asked, "Is there any news?"
