Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 245 The Truth About the Black Wizard
Inside the research institute's core control room, Rashid Tahrir faced the approaching Sophia witch and continuously unleashed various curse spells. In an instant, hundreds of minor curse spells, as well as various powerful blood curses, were released from his hands.

Rashid Tahrir's pupil, which resembled an observation mouth on his forehead, kept squeezing out, revealing expressions of doubt, shock, horror, and impotent rage.

"Why...why aren't you afraid of...our magic?"

Sophia the Witch plucked a white flower from her hat, bent down, and placed it on the ground. The roots of the white flower quickly sprouted and grew vigorously on the ground.

At the same time, all curses and magic around this flower failed.

Rashid Taliel retreated continuously while unleashing his blood curse. Suddenly, he opened his right palm, and the zipper in his palm automatically opened, revealing a bright red tongue. A poisonous fire dragon stained with the corrupting blood curse flew out from his palm and crashed towards the witch Sophia.

Sophia frowned. "This is... Andy's magic?"

"So that's how your pupils came about."

The next moment, before the poisonous flame dragon could even get close to the witch Sophia, it shattered on its own.

Rashid Tahrir was utterly astonished; he couldn't understand the witch Sophia's methods at all.

"how did you do it?"

"How can you ignore the magic of me, the High Curse Master, the inventor of the Corruption Curse, the great wizard Rashid Taliel? This is impossible, this is unrealistic."

"Don't think you can kill me."

Rashid Tahrir said, sounding like a madman.

The witch Sophia casually deflected one of his curse spells and sighed. "How pathetic, Rashid Taliel. Have some class, will you?"

"Accept death peacefully, and you can still retain some dignity."

“Rashid Tahrir, you should understand. In a battle between wizards, when one wizard cannot understand the other's magic at all, it can only prove that there is a huge gap between the two sides.”

"You are no match for me."

Sophia the Witch said, "After entering your research institute, I read all the relevant research materials you stored and understood your magic in a short time."

“Rashid Taliel, your curse magic has a fundamental flaw. This is because you have turned from traditional blood curse magic to a microscopic cursed creature system that is technically immature in the southeastern corner of the region.”

The witch Sophia extended her right hand, and countless cursed particles appeared behind Rashid Taliel. These particles suddenly absorbed the scattered cursed energy around them and then self-destructed one by one.

Rashid Tahrir was horrified to discover that the very foundation of his curse magic was collapsing automatically under the skillful manipulation of the witch Sophia.

The results of his research over more than a decade now seem like a joke.

"The southeastern corner region isn't mature? Then where is it mature?"

“This is my own original research direction,” Rashid Tahrir roared, a furious pupil bulging from the eye on his forehead. “I will not allow you to slander me.”

Sophia the Witch sneered. "Your research direction comes from the Star Sea, where there are many similar research projects with more advanced technology and a longer history than yours."

"Moreover, this Cursed Erosion Particle is not a research area of ​​the first ring in the Starfield Sea, but mainly a research area of ​​the second ring. This is the root cause of the systemic collapse of your curse magic."

"You said this is a research direction you created yourself, so where did the initial idea come from?"

Rashid Tahrir was about to tell the witch Sophia in a defiant manner that it came from the Blood Lord of the Blood Curse Court, but he suddenly remembered something and froze on the spot.

Although the idea was given to him by the Blood Lord, it is very likely that the Blood Lord came up with this idea after reading some articles from the Starfield Sea, and then told him about it, wanting to use him to improve it.

“Blood Lord…you have caused me so much suffering,” Rashid Taril whispered.

Rashid Taliel wanted to manipulate the defensive magic array in the central control room and use the curse energy reaction pool at the bottom of the curse magic research institute to obtain powerful magic to resist the witch Sophia and resolve the disadvantage of his curse magic system being destroyed by Sophia.

However, he discovered that the research institute's defensive magic array and energy core had already been destroyed by the white wizards in their previous actions.

Moreover, he didn't have a single wizard by his side to help him. Rashid Tahrir felt a pang of regret. "Sefrin...where are you?"

"Your teacher is in danger, and you don't even come to help me. This feeling of loneliness, no, no, no, I am not me, I... am us."

On the verge of a mental breakdown, pupils kept emerging from the eyes on his forehead. The targets killed by the Corruption Blood Curse could be assimilated into his soul, so these pupils originated from those he had killed.

This would resolve Rashid Taril's lifelong, unique fear of loneliness.

In this way, Rashid Tahrir will no longer be just one person, no longer just me, but us!

Rashid Tahrir kept thinking about solutions to the current situation, but each solution required at least one person to help him, and he had no one by his side at the moment.

In the end, 'I' am still 'I', not 'we'.

He was still alone in the end.

Under this mental pressure, the pupils on Rashid Tahrir's forehead began to collapse, one after another, they began to dissipate.

This was also because the foundation of his curse magic was destroyed by Sophia, causing him to be unable to maintain his own curse magic.

In the end, Rashid Tahrir was left with only one yellow pupil, which was his original self.

Rashid Taliel was utterly bewildered. He swallowed hard, looked at the witch Sophia, and said, “Wait. Don’t kill me. I have some very interesting news to offer you, something that most of the high-ranking black wizards in our southeastern corner know, but that your official white wizards don’t.”

"Why do white wizard associations exist in every wizarding land, but black wizard alliances don't necessarily exist? In some places, black wizard alliances exist, but they are weak; in other places, black wizard alliances are as powerful as in the southeast corner region; and in some places, there isn't a single black wizard."

“You are a wizard, don’t you want to know the truth? I can tell you all of this.”

Sophia the Witch stopped in her tracks and frowned.

At the same time, Lady Morgana's voice, transmitted through the Nibelung astrological system, reached the ears of the witch Sophia. "Wait a minute, Sophia, although I know you may have a different opinion. I don't recommend you listen to what he has to say next."

Sophia the Witch frowned. "Teacher, why?"

"I'm already a certified wizard, my spiritual power has crystallized, and I'm just one step away from the second ring. Why can't I know the truth?"

Mrs. Morgana said, “Sophia, you are very talented. But you are leaving soon. You are not afraid of trouble, but you must think about your students.”

"This is the only time you have to listen to me."

"Don't listen to anything that person says next."

In reality, Rashid Tahrir retreated to his limit and crashed into the wall. He swallowed hard and shouted to the witch Sophia, "Sophia, I have a secret to tell you."

"you……"

The next moment, Lady Morgana manipulated the Nibelungen Astrological System, in conjunction with the Feather of Digo, to reverse the Sixfold Curse Barrier.

In an instant, Rashid Taliel felt the cursed magic power within his body combine with the sixfold holy energy. His entire body was filled with a large amount of holy magic, causing him to swell up. At that moment, his soul and body simultaneously stepped onto the edge of death.

Sophia frowned. According to the mission requirements, she had to kill Rashid Tahrir herself, so she couldn't ask any more questions. Helpless, she had no choice but to take action and use a first-level plant spell to kill Rashid Tahrir herself.

“Teacher…” the witch Sophia whispered.

Thousands of miles away, in the control room of the Nibelungen Astrological System, Lady Morgana fell into deep thought. "This is for your own good, Sophia."

"The truth is always the most dangerous thing."

"These black wizards in the southeast corner region are getting more and more arrogant. It seems we must carry out a major purge against them, just like we have with other wizards."
