The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 290 Breakthrough, the Source of Five Rings Magic Power

In a faraway place, the Sea of ​​Death is famous for its endless horror and mystery.

The sea water here seems to be cursed. The dark blue waves appear gloomy and ominous in the sun, and are often accompanied by violent storms and strange currents.

Many brave souls have attempted to explore these waters, but most have vanished without a trace.

In the harbor, the taverns were filled with rumors of the deadly sea.

They tell stories of cursed ships:

Amid the howling wind, some people have heard whispers coming from the abyss. The sound was like the crying of the dead, which was creepy.

Whenever the breeze blows, the voices of the dead become clearer, as if calling for the lost to return.

There are also rumors that at night, when the moonlight shines on the waves, some people have seen strange human figures floating on the water.

They swayed and twisted like a nightmare, constantly waving at the approaching boat.

No one knew whether these shadows were the dead or evil spirits, but everyone who witnessed this scene vowed never to approach that horrible place again.

What's even more terrifying is that in the depths of the Sea of ​​Death, a phenomenon called "Black Tide" is quietly flowing. It is a force formed by ancient blood that can lure and devour any explorer.

Those who get lost in it will be tortured by hallucinations and nightmares. Some people will even see the faces of their deceased relatives, tempting them to gradually fall into despair and madness.

Some old sailors have spoken of a "ghost fleet".

A ghostly fleet of ships that never returned, wandering the dark tides, locked there by a spell to attack the boats of the living if they see them.

Once anyone sets foot on this fleet, they will become one of them forever and will never be able to escape.

In addition, there is a creature called "Fierce Fin" that only exists in the depths of the Dead Sea.

These creatures swim at an extremely fast speed, and every time they pass over the water, they bring a chill to the bone.

It is said that they are undead creatures that have been mutated by bloodline wizards' experiments.

They are bloodthirsty and will prey on humans who stray into their territory, and any prey they target will suffer a terrible fate.

Because of these horrifying rumors, people are in fear of the Sea of ​​Death and no one is willing to take the risk of getting close to it.

But according to rumors about the Sea of ​​Death, the only legendary wizard in the wizarding world who successfully broke through the seventh ring disappeared here.

He is known as the "Lord of Blood". He once ruled this area of ​​water with unparalleled power and mastered forbidden spells to control life and death, time and space.

People say that he can turn rain into blood, turn an ocean into a desert in an instant, and summon ancient beings from the abyss.

The wizard seals part of his soul in a place called the "Lifeline Altar", which is believed to be the path to the source of his power.

Those who have attempted to explore this altar have all spoken of its horror and ominous nature.

According to rumors, the altar is surrounded by invisible curses, and anyone who dares to approach will face life or death.

They will encounter the fear of disorientation, nightmares of hallucinations, and the despair of a black tide.

Some people claim that they have seen shadowy figures between the dark tides.

Those are the people who have tried to approach the power of wizards but failed. They wander here forever, endlessly crying out for everything they have lost.

Some even mentioned a mysterious rune engraved on the altar that was the method to unlock the secrets of the legendary wizard.

This rune is believed to be the key to a higher realm, but to obtain it one must accept challenges from the abyss, challenges that often exceed human limits, a duel of will and spirit.

Only those who emerge victorious in extreme pain and despair will have the opportunity to come into contact with that great power.

There are also rumors that in a hidden corner of the Sea of ​​Death, there is a ghost ship that was lost in the vast ocean while searching for the legendary wizard.

It is said that the ship is full of souls that cannot be liberated.

They seem to be guarding some secret. Once a living person approaches, they will attack them like a storm and drag them into endless darkness.

And whenever the moonlight shines on the heaving sea, some people claim to be able to hear whispers coming from afar, which are the low and creepy calls from the dead, the lost, or ancient creatures.

In that kind of atmosphere, people were in panic and naturally did not dare to act rashly.

And those who have successfully approached the path of the legendary wizard usually have a dazed look on their faces.

As if returning from another world, he was very secretive about everything he had experienced, leaving behind only vague and flickering words.

"That place is where eternity and destruction intertwine."

All these factors make the Sea of ​​Death an important forbidden area that explorers cannot calm down but cannot resist.

Deep in the ocean full of horror legends and unknown mysteries, wizards have always believed that there lies a way to break through the seven rings and become a legendary wizard.

That sea area is full of unknowns and fears for countless people.

And for those who pursue supreme power, there are endless opportunities.

David also didn't expect that the blood wizard might be hiding in the Sea of ​​Death.

"Besides the location, what else do you know?" David asked.

He understood that this information would likely directly affect their future courses of action.

As the topic deepened, the Morbid Witch Book recalled the past: "In my memory, the magic circle there was extremely complex, with various ancient and powerful protective mechanisms."

"Moreover, they are hidden deep inside the island. You need to find specific runes to enter the central area. If you make a mistake, you will be trapped and will never be able to escape."

"Then these runes... do you have any clues to find them?" David asked again.

The sick witch shook her head after hearing this.

"That's all I know. The bloodline wizards are receiving the goods outside and won't let us in."

David nodded after hearing this. It seemed that he would have to explore on his own from now on.

"Next, I need you to do me one last favor."

David looked up and down at the witch in front of him, feeling the energy fluctuations in her body.

"You want me?"

The sick witch was very sensitive to such looks and suddenly started to giggle.

David nodded and said, "I have mastered a special training method that can improve my strength through dual cultivation."

This was originally one of his purposes.

Now the sick witch is his indentured servant, there is no need to beat around the bush.

"Come on, everything I have is yours anyway."

The corners of the sick witch's mouth slightly raised, and a hint of provocation flashed in her eyes. She knew David's intention and was not surprised. Instead, at this moment, a strange feeling was aroused in her heart.

"bring it on."

She said softly, then took a step and walked towards the room.

The room is softly lit, creating a unique and intimate atmosphere.

David followed her in and held the sick witch in his arms.

But the sick female witch was very proactive and even took the initiative.

She began to twist her body gently, dancing gracefully in the air.

With waves of murmuring sounds, her body movements were as smooth as flowing water, showing a unique and attractive posture.

David was mesmerized by the sight.

Every move of the morbid witch was full of charm and mystery. Every turn and every stretch revealed unparalleled elegance.

As the sound grew louder, the sick witch began to try more bold and complex moves.

At that moment, she tried to throw away all the constraints of the past, truly immerse herself in this moment, and let every cell feel freedom and power.

"Is this okay?" she turned back to ask David.

At the same time, the body perfectly completed a difficult movement.

That confidence and charm all convey an invisible yet powerful attraction.

"Very good." David nodded in praise.

He could feel that this performance was not just a display of skills, but also a release of all the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time deep in his heart.

Such communication not only helps him improve his abilities, but also brings the relationship between the two closer.

At this moment, a strong and warm breath burst out from between the two of them.

The breath surged like a tide, making the air in the room even hotter.

David felt that the long-hidden power in his body was stimulated. He stretched out his hands and maintained a tacit understanding with the sick witch, allowing them to establish a deeper connection with each other.

"Keep going!" he encouraged.

This kind of dual cultivation is not only a form of cultivation, but also an integration of each other's energy.

In such an atmosphere, they can understand each other more deeply, starting from their respective positions, and explore new unknown realms together.

As the night deepened, the two were immersed in this wonderful and mysterious fusion.

David could feel that the source of his magic power was constantly being strengthened, and more power was constantly being integrated into it.

at the same time.

He could still feel the blood power left in the body of the sick witch and continued to explore.

In the following period of time, David would naturally not give up practicing.

He planned to raise his source of magic power to the fifth ring before completing this round of training.

Time passed little by little, and David also asked the Dragonborn wizards to look for information about Blood Shadow Island based on the information provided by the sick female wizard.

In the next few days, David's dual cultivation with the sick witch not only enhanced their strength.

During this time, David thoroughly mastered the benefits of dual cultivation. The source of his magic power gradually moved towards the fifth ring, and his strength continued to increase.

At the same time, the dragon wizards responded positively to David's instructions. Based on the information provided by the sick female wizard, they went in different directions to look for the location of Blood Shadow Island.

This mysterious and dangerous place is an important target for their next action.

As time went by, David and the sick witch continued their practice, and he found that the sick witch seemed to like this practice very much.

This further improved his training efficiency, and the source of his magic power finally reached the fifth ring soon after.

As time went by, David and the morbid witch's practice entered a new stage.

The two often sat in an open space in the forest at dawn, surrounded by lush trees and the sound of birds singing.

They immersed themselves in meditation and magical practice together, and established a deep understanding with each other.

On this day, when David felt the long-lost and strong fluctuation of magic power in his heart, he knew it was time to make a breakthrough.

He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the long-hidden energy in his body that was surging like a spring.

With every breath, he felt the magic power in his body gradually increase, like a warm and powerful current, rushing through his blood.

The sick witch also closed her eyes and immersed herself in it. She knew that David was about to undergo a major transformation.

David silently chanted some complex and familiar spells in his mind, trying to awaken the new power that had been suppressed for so long that was about to burst out.

He concentrated his mind, put aside all distractions, and only thought about that goal, the source of the five-ring magic power!
As he continued to meditate deeper, the magic power gradually gathered into a dazzling light.

Deep in his heart, a power as hot and yet gentle as fire began to burn, stirring his soul and guiding him to reach a higher level.

Everything outside seemed to become blurry. He could only hear his own heartbeat accelerating, and the rhythm of the magic power seemed particularly clear at this moment.

At this moment, a dazzling light burst out from inside out!

David felt a strong shock, and countless flashing runes emerged from the surface of his body, shining like stars.

These runes are mysterious and ancient. They seem to be the important key connecting the reality and the magical world!
The complex connections between all levels are interwoven into a magnificent picture, and an indescribable yet shocking new force is constantly expanding!
David's entire body was surrounded by that surge of force, and he could no longer control the surge in his body.

At this moment, an indescribable but hopeful atmosphere emerged all around.

In response to the natural elements of the four directions, the runes began to rotate and flicker, blending with the wind, interweaving with the earth, resonating with the water, and stirring with the fire...

They turned into a beam of light pointing straight to the sky, and in an instant the whole world seemed to be shocked!
The most important sign of a fourth-ring wizard is the elementalization of mental power. As the elementalization deepens, the connection with nature can be continuously strengthened.

Now, with the breakthrough of his magic source, he can feel that he is closer to the magic power transformed by the elements of the world.

All this is like a dream, and as beautiful as poetry, and at this moment——

"boom!"

With a loud bang, that powerful energy finally exploded completely!
It was as if the heaven and earth were suddenly torn apart, and countless stars descended, drawing brilliant tracks in the sky.

When the aftermath subsided, the entire space returned to tranquility, and David's source of magic power finally successfully broke through to the fifth ring.

This also means that David, with the help of the Five-Ring Magic Source and the Five-Ring Talent Mark, has been able to fully unleash the power of a Five-Ring Wizard!
