Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

This giant plant is the 'Lovira Astronomical Disc' that Serafina cultivated herself.

It has a very strong adsorption capacity, but it is too weak because it has no other special abilities besides adsorption. Therefore, Serafina made some improvements to it.

Serafina subtly channeled her mental energy, and the Lovera Star Chart reacted as if receiving a command—a vine rapidly sprouted from its roots.

The vine was as thick as a bowl, and its tip was not only sharp and conical but also had a hard thorn similar to that of a cactus, making the vine even more aggressive.

Under Serafina's control, the vine slowly aligned its hard thorns at the top of the light shield, as if it wanted to pierce the solid light shield in front of it.

At the same time, propelled by the pale green airflow, Serafina quickly approached the vines, then reached out and pulled a small bottle, about the size of a palm, from the storage bag at her waist.

As soon as Serafina's fingertips touched the bottle, a burning sensation shot from her fingertips to her palms. She gripped the bottle tightly, adjusting the silver-white runes around the bottle's opening.

A spark floats quietly inside the bottle, its entire body burning with a dazzling crimson gold. Though it is only the size of a fingertip, it is as if a small sun has been sealed within it.

The sparks made the transparent bottle walls glow slightly red, and even the little air inside was distorted and deformed by the heat. Waves of heat floated on the transparent bottle walls, as if they were about to break free of their restraints at any moment.

This small yet terrifyingly hot spark was formed by Jon Snow compressing a massive amount of raging fire element to its extreme.

With a twist of her fingertips, Serafina uncorked the bottle, and a stream of scalding heat burst forth, rising into the sky with a suffocating pressure.

Thick white steam instantly rose from above the bottle, swirling and almost solidifying. The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell and a constant hissing sound.

Serafina lightly traced a line on the surface of the vine with her fingertip, and a crack slowly opened along the grain, revealing the veins inside that glowed with a faint green light.

She quickly aligned the bottle opening with the crack, and as soon as her fingertips steadied the bottle, the runes engraved on the bottle opening lit up with a light. The next moment, the spark began to slowly slide towards the bottle opening, finally disappearing steadily into the crack in the vine.

As soon as the spark entered the vine, the crack closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving not a single scratch.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of fire suddenly ignited inside the vines and spread rapidly to both sides like wildfire. The next second, several heavy thuds came from inside the vines.

As the muffled sound subsided, the vines began to bulge outwards segment by segment, and the surface of each bulging segment simultaneously lit up with brilliant flames, as if a group of flames were rapidly moving along the veins of the vines.

Serafina stared intently at the vine struggling to adapt, her heart filled with anxiety, fearing that the vine would succumb to the surging heat within it and burst open before her very eyes.

Meanwhile, the frost-skinned dwarves inside the city walls were focusing almost all their firepower on the petals and leaves of the giant plant in front of them, launching an attack that was more concentrated and fierce than before.

How could mere war tools used to deal with wizard apprentices possibly destroy a plant carefully cultivated by a formal wizard?

Even with the fiercest attacks, they could only leave some charred marks on a few leaves or barely break off one or two tentacles, without damaging the plant's roots at all.

Outside the battlefield, the wizarding apprentices of Everfrost Spire were greatly relieved of the crisis thanks to the protection of the Lovira Astrolabe.

Only a few directions still saw sporadic bursts of energy blasts and crossbow bolts, but these posed no real threat.

As the white mist completely dissipated, the wizard apprentices in the camp gradually withdrew their defensive spells and began to recover their own magic power, while looking up at the great power of the official wizards.

As for the official wizards inside the light shield, seeing that the number of enemy official wizards outside was no less than theirs, none of them were willing to expend magic to destroy the plants in front of them.

They just wanted to preserve their magic to last until Dulink arrived.

Thus, the wizard inside the light barrier conserved his magic and did not attack, while the wizard outside the light barrier could not break through the barrier. The two sides remained deadlocked, watching the giant plant stick to the light barrier.

Meanwhile, Mars continues to radiate energy, which travels along the vines, making the swollen segments even tighter.

In some places, cracks even began to emerge and molten lava flowed out, as if the place was about to shatter at any moment.

Seeing this, Serafina stroked the vine with both hands in the air, and the green light emanating from her palms poured down like water, flowing through the entire vine and then gradually seeping into it, infusing the vine with even greater power.

With Serafina's blessing, the vines did not break. Instead, they began to tremble slightly under the continuous energy impact, and their surface slowly stretched out, as if gradually adapting to this power.

After a moment, the trembling of the vine gradually subsided, and the bright flames began to fill the entire vine. The swollen segments slowly contracted, finally settling steadily to contain all the energy.

At this moment, the vines had also changed their form. Their surface had lost its vibrant emerald green and was covered with an extremely fiery orange-red, as if they were burning with an inextinguishable flame.

Then, the surging energy in the vine's veins began to slowly flow towards the top and into the hard thorns. As this energy was slowly injected, the sharp thorns were quickly stained with a layer of fiery orange-red.

The next second, the hard spikes, glowing with orange-red light, suddenly stabbed into the light shield. The moment the spikes made contact with the light shield, a large amount of blue ice mist exploded, and the two energies collided continuously, producing a constant "sizzling" sound.

The surface of the spikes was incredibly hot, scorching the surrounding air and distorting it. Sensing the threat, the light shield immediately sent icy blue patterns rising along the contact surface, seemingly trying to shatter the spikes as it had done before.

But the moment it touched the hard thorn, the pattern melted into tiny specks of light by the scorching heat.

Meanwhile, the frost-skinned dwarves inside the protective barrier didn't think much of it. In their eyes, this giant plant was nothing more than a "barrier" to defend against attacks from war artifacts.

They seized this rare break to quickly regroup, while simultaneously planning how to deal with the Everfrost Spire's next move.

Finally, several astute formal wizards noticed something was wrong; they all sensed the intense fire element.

Pease is a newly promoted official wizard. He and several other official wizards were sent by the Elstein family to guard the front line. Among them was Peeley of the Elstein family.

Looking up at the towering plants above, Piss turned to Pili beside him and asked:

"Lord Pili, shall I go and investigate the source of that fire element?"

"Okay, then go ahead," Piri said.

"Yes." Piss said and then got to work.
