Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 875 Searching for the Half-Body, Constructing the Second Great Magic!
In the Demon Wolf Hell, the demon wolf avatar gazed at the sea boundary in the Imaginary Sea River outside the crater, his eyes gloomy. "That bastard of the Persepolis gods actually miscalculated."

He thought of the past.

Back then, he also led people into this strange world and discovered that the Three Caves World was undergoing dimensional ascension. So he led an expedition team composed of wizards from the Southern Witch Capital into this world.

At first, he fought and schemed against the Persepolis gods, and he also achieved remarkable results.

But then a problem arose. The Persepolis gods clearly understood the personalities of the wizards. They manifested themselves beside the various wizards in the expedition, tempting them with benefits, which led to the expedition's crew secretly organizing a rebellion against them.

Although he eventually succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, his physical body was destroyed in the process, and his immense magic was severely damaged. Most importantly, that bastard from the Persepolis gods possessed a special secret technique for creating higher planes.

The result of that battle was the creation of two upper planes: the Celestial Realm and the Demon Wolf Hell. Together with the original half of the upper plane of this world, namely the Sea Realm, three upper planes were formed.

In other words, the Celestial Realm was indeed conceived by this world itself, but it was only a prototype. It was the Persepolis gods who used the immense magic of two second-circle wizards as the foundation to build the Celestial Realm as it is today, while the Demon Wolf Hell relied on his immense magic.

Now, even though the situation is exactly the same, the Persepolis gods are unable to seduce the wizard named Hussein, nor the pirate named Henry.

A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the demon wolf avatar.

It was a mixture of jealousy and resentment.

If he had noticed the expedition's unusual behavior earlier, if the people on the expedition had been from his own lineage instead of the wizards he had hired, things might have been different.

The body of the demon wolf avatar vanished from the Demon Wolf Hell in an instant, and reappeared at the outer edge of the Demon Wolf Hell, namely the Demon Wolf Plain.

The sky here is ablaze, the earth is ablaze, and countless demonic wolf creatures are besieging the pirate.

The Demon Wolf Hell is a strange realm created by the combination of the plane attributes of the Three Caves World itself, the special power of the Persepolis gods, and the great magic of wizards.

Neither wizards, nor the Persepolis gods, nor the world will of the Three Caves World can completely control this place.

However, this place has long served as the final resting place for the souls of the dead from the Three Caves World.

There were enough demonic wolves formed from the vengeful spirits of the dead here. These demonic wolves obeyed his and the demonic wolf giant's commands. So, under the siege of these countless demonic wolves formed from the spirits of the three past worlds, the old pirate Henry was temporarily delayed here.

The old pirate Henry pierced the neck of a wolf with his poisoned blade and lifted it up.

"Neurotoxins have no effect on these undead creatures. Ugh, I hate encountering these undead the most."

He manipulated the three bracelets on his arm, which immediately expanded to the size of bicycle wheels and were wrapped with lightning, fire, and ice respectively. These were the three magical artifacts he, as an enchanter, had brought for this trip.

It's a set called the Sphinx Ring.

All three magic rings are second-ring magical artifacts. Once activated with magic power, they can transform into three magic wheels that appear behind the wizard and automatically attack enemies alongside him.

Each of the magic wheels has a magic circle enchanting it.

It is important to know that there are two main ways for a magical artifact to become stronger. The first is to strengthen its alchemical aspects and enhance the magical power it contains.

Secondly, it enhances the enchantment array on its surface.

The surface of the Vanguard has eighteen layers of second-level enchantments. The more layers of enchantments there are, the higher the number of rings in the enchantment circle, and generally, the higher the quality of the magical artifact.

An enchanter who can enchant more layers of the same ring level also demonstrates their skill level.

These three magic rings are typical weapons used by enchanters, because each magic ring has only one layer of enchantment, but each has a slit.

If an enchanter of sufficient skill manipulates it, the enchantment arrays on the three magic rings can be superimposed to form a triple enchantment array, turning an ordinary second-ring magic weapon into a tactical-level enchanted magic weapon.

The Sphinx Ring has very high requirements, but it is indeed a very useful weapon for enchanters.

At this moment, the three Sphinx Rings combined and enchanted each other, and the triple enchanted rings swept across the Demon Wolf Hell Plain, destroying all the vengeful spirits of the demon wolves that came near.

Second Ring Super Effect Lightning Ring with Magic Circle, Second Ring Super Effect Fire Orb with Magic Circle, Second Ring Super Effect Ice Stream with Magic Circle.

The three magic circles combine to form the Sphinx Triple Enchantment Magic Circle, with remarkable effects.

Three demonic wheels appeared on the Demon Wolf Plain like a raging storm, wantonly shattering countless vengeful spirits of demon wolves.

The demon wolf transformed into a wisp of black smoke, swirling in the sky above the Demon Wolf Hell. Then, it suddenly vanished from the sky and appeared behind the old pirate Henry.

"In the Demon Wolf Hell, the living can hardly move an inch, while the dead can walk on flat ground."

"Even you wizards must abide by this rule of the world."

The wolf transformed into a black wolf as large as a mountain, sat on the ground, and looked at the old pirate Henry with unparalleled majesty.

The old pirate Henry snorted coldly and turned around to see the wolf in disguise.

"Hmph, the wizards of the Southern Witch Capital... are they so spineless? Have they been beaten into native status by the natives of this world?"

Henry looked down at his lower body and saw that the land of the Demon Wolf Hell was a sea of ​​hellfire that had submerged up to his knees, constantly corroding the double second-ring enchantment array and permanent defensive field on his body.

These energies were constantly eroding his body.

In that case, he has no choice but to leave this Demon Wolf Hell.

Otherwise, the sea of ​​fire would erode his body, and if he went too deep, he wouldn't even have enough strength to return to the present world of the Three Caves Plane, and he would die here.

'This place is just too difficult to settle down in.'

Old Henry mused, "I was wearing the black hummingbird pineapple wizard shoes Locke gave me, and they didn't last long before the hellfire burned through them. If only I'd spent a million magic stones on a pair of bloodwave pineapple wizard shoes."

'I should have known better than to try to save that money.'

The demon wolf transformed and stared at the old pirate.

"Void pirates, what honor do you have to speak of? You rarely get to enter the Wizarding World in your lives, spending most of your time in the near-Earth orbit of the Wizarding World. So how dare you laugh at me? How much time do you actually spend on the ground of the Wizarding World?"

“Void Pirate, why did you refuse the invitation from that divine eye before? Was it because he wasn’t a wizard? Now, I propose a collaboration with you. Can you accept it? After all, you’re just a pirate. Betrayal is commonplace for you, and you have no sense of honor.”

“The Three Caves World is rich in spiritual energy. If you help me kill those two second-ring wizards, I will hand over the spiritual energy mine that the Demon Wolf Hell has accumulated for hundreds of years to you.”

The old pirate Henry sneered, as the magic wheel behind him continuously cleared away the vengeful spirits of the surrounding demon wolves.

“You’re all insane! You actually want me to betray Locke Augustine.”

“You obviously don’t know how ruthless his methods are.”

The demon wolf avatar let out a soft "Eh."

"Oh?"

Old Henry threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Leaving aside the fact that neither you nor that 'God-Eye' are good people, just consider their ruthlessness. Against you, I only need to consider the possibility of failure; no matter what, I can protect myself. But if I offend Locke Augustine..."

A flicker of apprehension crossed old Henry's eyes, for he recalled the horrific scene of Locke killing the black wizard pirate right before his eyes and using him to concoct the Zero Potion.

"If I offend him, I need to worry about being turned into a potion by him."

The pupils of the demon wolf avatar suddenly shrank.

'Huh? Is that white wizard so ruthless? Even this black wizard pirate is wary of him. What did he do to leave such a deep psychological scar on this pirate, making him afraid to betray him?'

The wolf avatar immediately realized that it was impossible to win over this pirate.

"In that case, leave the Demon Wolf Hell. This place does not welcome the living."

The Demon Wolf Avatar resonated with the Laws of Hell, which possessed almost all the world laws of the Demon Wolf Hell, far surpassing any single world law. Moreover, this place was the Demon Wolf Hell itself.

Therefore, the hellfire swept towards old Henry, intending to burn him completely.

Old Henry immediately felt the scorching heat of the hellfire and its rejection of the living. Strictly speaking, this higher plane was in serious conflict with the plane principles of life and the wizarding world.

The double enchantment array on Old Henry's body even developed tiny cracks, threatening to shatter.

Left with no other choice, he had to control the three demonic wheels to cleave through the waves of hellfire, then jump onto the demonic wheels and use them as small flying vehicles to forcibly leave the Demon Wolf Hell.

The wolf in its avatar looked up as they left, a shrewd glint in its eyes.

'The Demon Wolf Hell rejects the living; as long as I remain within it, I can at least remain invincible.'

'However, I must speak with that being of the Persepolis gods. We now have a common enemy.'

The Demon Wolf incarnation forcibly summoned a being from the depths of Hell using the principles of Hell.

A divine eye appeared behind him.

"You contacted me?"

Gregory Newman.

The wolf avatar turned its head. It was not surprised that the Divine Eye could appear in front of it, because this higher plane was originally created under the control of the Divine Eye.

Of the three worlds, only the present world and the sea eye exist, and they are completely unrelated to the divine eye.

Under the current circumstances, the Divine Eye can no longer interfere with the mortal world and the sea realm; it has been completely conquered by the second wave of wizards.

The wolf in disguise said, "Persepolis, we've been fighting for hundreds of years. You don't want all your achievements to be taken away, do you? So we need to cooperate."

Divine Eye said, “Cooperation is possible. But I need the immense magic of those three second-circle wizards, and you must help me implant my divinity into their souls.”

The wolf avatar's eyes flickered; he finally understood what he and his exploration team had encountered hundreds of years ago. So that's how it was—the Persepolis gods' method of planting the Seed of Godhood required implanting divinity into the soul of a high-energy entity?

It seems we'll have to kill the soul's owner as well. Because hundreds of years ago, this god didn't completely kill him, so the Demon Wolf Hell never fully became the god's realm.

Currently, there is only one celestial realm in this world that is an incomplete realm of the Persepolis gods. This may be related to the fact that the Persepolis gods are incomplete.

The wolf in disguise said, "Alright. But with our current strength, we are no match for three second-ring wizards at their peak. What's your idea?"

The two looked at each other.

Clearly, the two of them couldn't trust each other at all.

The Divine Eye spoke, “Lend me a portion of your Hell Principles and place them into my Divine Immortal Spark, which is my own divinity, and you can sever the connection between the Demon Wolf Hell and the mortal world.”

"This is consistent with the principle that the celestial realm is separated from the celestial beings of today."

The wolf avatar's eyes flickered; he immediately realized what the other party's purpose was in doing this.

Only two upper planes of the Three Caves World have truly taken shape: the Celestial Realm and the Demon Wolf Hell. If these two upper planes were to completely sever ties with the present world of the Three Caves World, almost all the magical tides of the Three Caves World would flow towards these two upper planes.

Instead, it will not flow into the present world through the two higher planes.

In this way, the entire world would fall into absolute poverty.

Most of the spiritual energy in the mortal world has already been dug up into the crater, so once they adopt this strategy, they can seal off the mortal world and those wizards, forcing those wizards to return.

wrong……

The wolf avatar immediately realized that the Divine Eye not only wanted to force the wizards to return, but also to trap them in the Three Caves World.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Divine Eye continued, "At first, I wanted these outsiders to back down. Even if they obtained the coordinates, they probably wouldn't tell outsiders. You and I both know how precious an unexplored plane is in your wizarding world."

"But later, I failed to stop them from entering this world, and now the power they have invested in this world is growing stronger. It is now a matter of life and death between me and these wizards."

"I want them to run out of supplies and power in the mortal world. I want their true forms to enter the mortal world, then become trapped in shallow waters and die there."

"I've set my sights on their immense magic. I want to use it to create a divine realm. With enough divine realms, I'm sure I can be resurrected—fully resurrected. Unlike now, where I'm barely clinging to life, with only a phantom eye!"

“Gregory Newman. After this is done, I can give you a divine seed, making you a divine being and a candidate seed for my Persepolis gods.”

“You must understand that there are some among my Persepolis gods who were once your wizards.”

The wolf incarnation sneered inwardly.

What the other person said sounded very nice.

But is it possible?

As long as this divine eye grants him the divine seed of the Persepolis race, he is confident that he can utilize the resources he originally intended to accumulate within the Demon Wolf Hell to become a Star Ring Wizard and instantly break through to become a true juvenile form of the Persepolis race.

The problem is, Divine Eye clearly won't give him that chance.

His real goal was simply to use the Divine Eye.

He currently only lacks the resources to become a Star Ring Wizard.

During his hundreds of years in the Wolf Hell, his power system had become sufficient to become a Star Ring Wizard, and his avatar even entered the Wolf Shapeshifter system, becoming a second-ring being.

His hell priests in the Demon Wolf Hell were all Demon Wolf shapeshifters.

'I can either become a Star Ring Wizard, using the moment of breakthrough to restore my missing physical form and allow it to be reborn deep within the Demon Wolf Hell; or I can completely follow the path of the Persepolis gods. If I can trick the seed of divinity from this divine eye, that would be good too.'

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the demon wolf avatar. Now, there was only one question he hadn't figured out in this world.

That's why the dimensional laws of this world are so strange, able to respond to individuals.

This is clearly related to the secret of the Divine Eye, and the former Nicholas figured it all out, but unfortunately, because of his deliberate betrayal and sudden treachery, Nicholas can never come back.

The half of the wizard named Locke Augustine has been exiled to a place from which he can never return.

The demon wolf avatar actively summoned the Law of Hell, which immediately responded and entered the inner pupil of the divine eye, penetrating its divine core.

In an instant, the divine core inside the Divine Eye began to rotate, and a voice appeared throughout the Three Cave Worlds.

"From this day forward, the Demon Wolf Hell will be connected to the mortal world's absolute heaven."

Within the Demon Wolf Hell, the Divine Eye said to the Demon Wolf avatar, "Heh, it's been a pleasure cooperating. Remember, they are now sealed off by us. As long as we have enough patience, they will eventually be sealed off completely. Remember, never withdraw your Hell Principles."

The wolf incarnation said, "I'm fine on my end. The problem is with your wolf giant."

Divine Eye said, "With his limited understanding of the principles of hell, he can't shake your control. In the end, he's just a native, isn't he?"

The demon wolf avatar chuckled and asked, "We've been here for so many years. Why haven't you come to regard this place as our homeland yet?"

The figure of the Divine Eye gradually disappeared into the Demon Wolf Hell.

"If we could return to our true homeland, who would stay in this desolate wilderness? Wizard, don't you think so?"

……

In the Three-Dimensional Plane, within the present world, the voice of the Divine Eye resounded throughout the entire present world.

At this moment, the magical tides that the present world received from the two higher planes were completely cut off, and since the Sea Eye was only an unformed higher plane, it was unable to replenish the present world of the Three Caves World with energy.

Hussein created an anchor point to the mortal world by cursing the wind giant, and then entered the sea realm. In the vortex of spacetime ripples, he captured two three-headed demon sheep living in it, and also took away the five sea spirits that were born from them.

These are all the spiritual energies that have been nurtured within this unfinished upper plane.

Hussein's true form as the Blood Ancestor emerged from the sea realm. His body was tattered and covered in wounds, and different parts of his body showed varying degrees of aging.

Locke's eyelids twitched at the sight.

The Blood Ancestor's true form actually possesses greater defensive capabilities than his normal self.

It seems that the spacetime ripples within that sea boundary are indeed troublesome.

Hussein shared the five spiritual breaths with Locke and chanted a spell to lift the curse on the wind giant.

Locke said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hussein was panting heavily. The usually elegant man was now somewhat disregarding his image and dared not even stop maintaining the Blood Ancestor's true form, fearing that if he did not, his body would collapse in an instant.

"The sea is extremely dangerous."

“If I hadn’t used the Primal Werewolf Transformation Curse to strengthen the Blood Ancestor’s true form, I would probably have died in it. Locke, your half-body entered the Sea Realm and crossed the timeline, most likely returning to the past, and it’s probably impossible for him to return to the normal timeline from the Sea Realm.”

"I estimate that he lived all the way back to the present from ancient times. But there's a question: was his lifespan long enough?"

Locke said, “A second-ring wizard’s lifespan is probably not enough. But this world has complex divine power pathways, and my half-body is deeply integrated with these chaotic divine power pathways. I estimate that he survived by using the divine power pathways of this place.”

Hussein nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the present world, his brow furrowed.

"It seems that the Celestial Realm and the Demon Wolf Hell have joined forces and are working together to blockade us. After realizing that they could not drive us away, they blocked the two most valuable planes of the Three Cave Worlds, intending to wear us down in this way."

Old Henry also used the Ganoderma lucidum plant to contact the two and reported the situation inside the Demon Wolf Hell. He said that the Demon Wolf Hell was filled with hellfire, and that magical artifacts could not remain intact for long after entering it, and their durability would drop rapidly.

Moreover, at this moment, the dimensional principles of the Demon Wolf Hell have been blessed by divinity, and the two are like diesel fuel meeting a fuel engine, which can unleash incredible power.

Old Henry had a few worries among the Ganoderma lucidum plants.

"I think we should start collecting spirit ore from the present world. The Vanguard Explorers have the ability to burn spirit ore, or other magical ores, as magical energy. But we'd better examine the energy sources in this world first."

"This is a matter of accounting."

"After all, mining and transportation both consume energy. If the energy reserves in the present world are insufficient, and we are unable to penetrate the two upper planes blocked by the Persepolis gods... then we must consider whether we have the energy to return."

"We need to set a red line."

The old pirate clearly had extensive sailing experience.

"We need to calculate our remaining energy. If we consume too much and cross the red line, we'll need to consider turning back. Otherwise, we can only gamble that we can find a way to enter the higher plane."

“Exploit their energy and return to the Golden Route. Don’t forget, opening the Golden Route also requires energy. I’m afraid we won’t have enough energy left to open the Golden Route by then.”

"We must take into account the magical energy we have on hand when navigating through the void. Everything must be carefully planned."

Locke, speaking through the Ganoderma lucidum plant, said, "Actually, I have a way to open the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Wolf Hell, which are under the blockade of the Persepolis gods. This is related to the second great magic I have conceived."

"The current Three-Dimensional System, because of my half-body, is essentially an intertwining of my and that god's thoughts. This is the birthplace of my power."

Hussein looked at Locke in surprise.

"This works? The combination of the Peach Heart Spell and the Demon Dragon Bloodline is truly amazing and enviable."

Locke continued speaking to the two of them simultaneously through the Ganoderma lucidum plant: "I can feel the traces left on my half of my body all over this place, which is telling me that this is the best place he has prepared for us to construct the second great magic."

"But I must find my other half before I can begin to build the second great magic."

Old Henry, amidst the magical Ganoderma lucidum plant, asked, "Then how do we find your other half?"
