949 Subtraction Replication! The Power of Star Forging Great Magic! The Origin of the Witch King Lagmamon...
Bolts of lightning flowed around Locke and the wizard from the Badachria royal court. Locke attacked the wizard by launching Attila's Lightning Chains from the fifteen Great Green Leaf Dragonflies behind him, while the wizard chanted a spell and retaliated with fifteen ordinary lightning spells.
Each bolt of lightning annihilated the others, because he used just the right amount of lightning magic to neutralize all of Locke's lightning attacks.
"As expected, Your Excellency is unable to unleash the true power of Attila's Lightning. You are not worthy of possessing this spell model. Your illegal acquisition of our Badachrian Royal Court's secret heritage is already disrespectful, and you have dared to offend the Tower of the Black Sun. You are a sinner and should surrender to the authorities instead of continuing to resist."
The young witch king spoke in a gentle and refined manner. With each word he spoke, a Great Green Leaf Dragonfly would shoot out a Chain of Attila through the part of the plant that mimicked the head of a green dragon, but all of them were blocked by the lightning magic he used casually.
He truly lived up to his reputation as the Witch King of the ancient school of energy manipulation. With every gesture, he could unleash powerful lightning magic. The spells were incredibly powerful, with short casting animations and fast casting speed. One lightning spell followed another as smoothly as flowing water. He was a master of lightning magic.
A skilled lightning magic user will not allow their attacks to be interrupted for even a moment.
The next moment, the fifteen Great Blue Leaf Dragonflies surrounding his head split into two, making a total of thirty Great Blue Leaf Dragonflies surrounding his head. At the same time, they cast Attila's Chain Lightning thirty times on him. These Great Blue Leaf Dragonflies were already enchanted with the Attila's Chain Lightning spell model, so at this moment they were essentially like a magical artifact, simply using the Attila's Chain Lightning spell model in a fixed manner.
It was only because it was a magical plant that it was able to split into two under the influence of the Tree of Prosperity.
"it's useless."
The wizard raised his little finger.
"Our Badachria Emperor is the most powerful magical kingdom since the Age of Stars. We rule over one-fifth of this world. We have the fastest casting speed. I can cast thirty spells in an instant by simply raising a little finger."
"And if I cast spells with both hands, my maximum casting speed is seventy-eight spell models per second."
"You are no match for me. Sinner."
"Indeed, how could a sinner like you be a match for someone like me, a descendant of the Badakhyan royal family? We started from different places."
The young wizard king seemed unwilling to soil his magnificent wizard robes, which is why he didn't act immediately.
The next moment, the thirty large green-leaf dragon sparrows hovering above his head suddenly recombined, their magical pressures overlapping and surging violently. Furthermore, the auras of these fifteen magical plants were connected, their magical pressures completely gathered in one place, and at the same time, their immense life force mixed into the Attila's lightning chain spell model.
The core principle of Attila's Chain Lightning lies in the fact that the caster must possess powerful life force. This is because Attila's Chain Lightning requires life energy to compress lightning energy and can convert life energy into lightning energy; therefore, the more life energy, the better. So, while Locke may not understand the Emanationist school of lightning magic like the ancient wizard king, the problem is that he also doesn't understand life magic.
Under the infusion of immense life force, a massive and exaggerated bolt of Attila's lightning suddenly descended from the sky.
Surprised, the young witch king hurriedly raised his hands and cast the spell model seventy-three times in a row, but all these lightning bolts were swallowed up by the Attila Lightning, which was filled with terrifying life energy. The next moment, he was struck by the incredibly thick lightning bolt.
"Ah... impossible..."
He was blasted away by the lightning.
When the Witch King rose from the ground again, his pupils suddenly contracted. "Could he have obtained the complete inheritance of Attila's Chain Lightning? And it's the uncut version, without any omissions. He even has the part that transforms life magic into lightning magic. Who is he?"
The witch king subconsciously expanded his kingdom's domain, which was a world of lightning. The sky was filled with lightning, and countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky and descended upon the earth.
A second-ring level kingdom possesses certain characteristics, including the ability to establish rules. Therefore, all lightning magic within this young wizard king's lightning magic kingdom would be enhanced. However, the problem was that the young wizard immediately realized that Locke was also using lightning magic!
The next moment, a lightning chain resembling a thunder dragon descended upon him from afar.
He quickly raised his right hand and summoned a Thunder Beast Shield. A thunder lion made of lightning appeared in front of him, but the Attila lightning was too powerful and actually sent him flying again.
He was sent flying.
Locke noticed something, "Hmm? I know that the magic pressure multiplication factor in the Kingdom's Domain is not high, so the instantaneous damage output ceiling of your ancient witch kings is relatively low. But the solidity of your magic pressure is also so low."
As soon as the young witch king stood up, he realized that Locke was directly slamming his magical pressure into him.
Locke's magical pressure seemed to transform into a solar storm, while his magical pressure automatically protected its master. However, under the blow of this terrifying solar storm, it quickly shattered. As a result, the kingdom domain around him was suppressed by Locke's star ring-level magical pressure and kept retreating. He himself was left with only a permanent defensive force field protecting his soul, preventing him from falling under Locke's magical pressure.
The young witch king gritted his teeth and endured Locke's storm of magical pressure. He looked up at the Tree of Prosperity behind Locke and the Moon of Evolution in the sky.
"The magic of this era... What is this? Why does my kingdom's domain crumble the moment it touches your two spells?"
A ring of gold and blue stars appeared behind Locke. "It's a powerful spell. Your description is accurate."
Even though it's a powerful spell at the Star Ring level, after the second forging, the magic pressure solidifies. Because of the core of the power system—this currency—not only does the magic pressure solidify, but the speed at which magic power is mobilized and the rate at which magic pressure multiplies are both higher, faster, and stronger.
In contrast, the moment his magical pressure collided with the opponent's, the opponent's magical pressure dissipated as if it were a normal, extremely powerful spell of the first level.
Although both are Star Ring level, their combat power is incomparable.
One thousand and one leaves of power appeared behind Locke.
These leaves of power meticulously described his power; he described all his power in his own language, and thus at this moment, the power was so free and completely under his control.
Unable to hold on any longer, the young witch king retreated repeatedly, his kingdom's domain also retreating further and further. Lightning bolts shot out from his kingdom's domain toward Locke, but before they could get close, they were all blocked by Locke's Spring Return Spear, formed from the second ring of sea gold sand.
The golden peaches transformed into bows and arrows, and the jujubes hanging from the Sky-Supporting Jujube became arrows. Now, the Sky-Supporting Jujube has finally achieved a magical grafting relationship with him as he becomes a Star Ring Wizard.
A bolt of spring thunder struck in his direction, and the young witch king's pupils suddenly shrank. The next moment, the thunder passed through his body.
"Cough cough..."
The young witch king spat out blood, but the blood did not fall; instead, it turned into the ashes of an era, becoming snow-white but useless ash that flew away into the distance like swirling snowflakes in the wind.
"So that's how it is. I am, after all, just an ember."
The young witch king's eyes held a complex expression. "Was that spell just now inspired by Attila's Chain Lightning? Could you tell me which lord gave you the model of that spell?"
Locke said, "A friend named Lagmamon."
While the Thunder Arrow did indeed draw inspiration from Attila's Chain Lightning in some ways, it's difficult to say there's a direct connection because it involves its own complex system of spell design models.
The reason I was able to turn the tide and win was because I used my ultimate magic, the Tree of Prosperity.
After completing its second forging, the Moon of Evolution was strengthened in both the Moon Cultivation Method and the Ancestral Evolution. All related spell models with added massive magic runes were also enhanced, resulting in a comprehensive improvement in its overall capabilities.
After the Tree of Prosperity is forged twice, the first Prosperity Fruit is obtained by forging a mirror image of a magical plant based on the circulation of the four seasons' energy.
The effect of the second Prosperity Fruit is to reverse summer to spring, transforming the fiery magic of summer into the burgeoning magic of spring, thus achieving something similar to subtraction replication.
The reason he was able to do this was because the Witch King was not mistaken; he had indeed taken inspiration from the Spring Thunder Arrow.
The Spring Thunder Arrow can ignite life energy into lightning magic, and lightning magic can be transformed into life energy. It flows between life energy and lightning. Therefore, during the two hundred years he spent in the Three Cave Worlds developing this spell model, he actually unintentionally mastered a spell model that could transform the excessively expanding life force into a state of infinite possibilities under the spring.
This could be a coincidence.
It could also be something done subconsciously.
Regardless, the Spring Thunder Arrow is based on Attila's Chain Lightning, which is the core spell model of the Lightning Gate school. It is like the general outline of the entire school's magic. Once you learn Attila's Chain Lightning, what difficulty is there in learning other Lightning Gate spells?
Therefore, Attila's lightning chain contains the inversion of the five elements of the Lightning Gate.
It's the same permanent defensive force field that Douglas used to have.
Locke took a step forward, and a clone appeared behind him. That's right, the reason he was so powerful now was because he used his Tree of Prosperity and subtraction replication to briefly reunite his clone with himself, so that the power of the two would be greater than 1+1.
In other words, in a short period of time, one can effectively gain twice the magical pressure of 20,000.
This can significantly boost one's strength in a short period of time.
Meiosis can be used on all copies; that is, all copies created by the Tree of Prosperity can be meiotically split, merged into one, and begin to increase their power.
This is why the magical pressure of the fifteen Great Green Leaf Dragonflies doubled after I used meiosis.
Moreover, at that time, he used the "Twin Branches" spell, which was his fifth spell model with a large magic rune added to the Tree of Prosperity.
Using the "Twin Branches" technique can enhance the meiotic replication of one's own Tree of Prosperity, strengthening this meiotic replication so that it can briefly allow magical plants that are not one's own Great Magic to combine their energy. Of course, this can also be seen as the "Twin Branches" technique being strengthened by one's own Great Magic playing a role in this process.
This is why, having just advanced, he possessed combat power far exceeding that of an ordinary Star Ring Wizard.
The young witch king was thunderstruck upon hearing this. "You mean Lagmamon? Impossible, isn't that my son's name?"
Locke said, "Hmm? King Lagmamon is your son?"
The young Witch King's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in utter terror, "Within the Badachrian Royal Court, only one family of wizards holds the title of Witch King. We don't call ourselves Witch Kings; instead, we lower our rank and call ourselves Wizard Earls. You say that King Lagmamon is a descendant of a later generation, which means my son usurped the throne of the Badachrian Royal Court. With the Tower of the Black Sun above, and you who control the sacrificial rites, how could you allow my son to inherit the Badachrian Royal Court?"
"If the burnt offering cannot be performed... then how did he become king? Does this mean that in my son's time, the world's etiquette had already collapsed? How can this be? My son is a traitor! No... no... I do not acknowledge this. The Badakria Royal Court has only one king, the king recognized by the Tower of the Black Sun. There is no other king!"
Just as the young witch king was about to ask more questions, his body suddenly collapsed into the ashes of the era.
At the same time, a tremendous force suddenly pressed down on him.
Locke looked up and saw a fat, ring-ringed wizard king walking towards him from a distance, a triumphant smile on his face. "Oh. You've never fought against a proper, second-ring level magic kingdom domain, have you? While you were fighting, I set up my entire kingdom domain. Once the kingdom domain is successfully set up and merged with the earth, its suppressive power over a region will far exceed that of the Great Magic of your era. Within my gravity kingdom domain, any wizard who doesn't use gravity magic or isn't recognized by me will be crushed into mincemeat by gravity."
"These are the rules for the kingdom's territory that I have established."
"This place is filled with the embers of an era, and your perception has been suppressed to its limit..."
The fat witch king was polite. "Sinner, you..."
But the next moment, the man was stabbed in the chest by a tree-man's branch.
He turned his head stiffly, but his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw Edgar, whose right hand had transformed into a tree-man.
"You..." The fat witch king turned into ashes.
Edgar gripped a cane with his other hand to support himself, and sneered at the fat witch king.
"The weak."
"You poured all your power into Locke, yet you had no magic to protect yourself. This so-called Kingdom Domain completely separated the wizard from his own power. Your physical body is so fragile, yet I was able to find an opportunity to ambush and kill you."
Edgar's palm is the palm of the Tree of Perfection, and he was already very close to becoming a Star Ring Wizard. Although the fat Wizard King was Star Ring level, he was not a real Star Ring Wizard and was still using the Kingdom Domain. Therefore, apart from having higher magic pressure than Edgar, no one else was higher than him.
Of course, that's why he was ambushed and killed.
This is mainly because Edgar's Perfect Tree's treant transformation has extremely high instantaneous attack power.
Secondly, due to the flaws in the Kingdom Domain, the wizard's power lies in the Kingdom Domain. When the opponent sets up the entire Kingdom Domain under Locke's feet and suppresses Locke, it does have a very good effect. However, his true body is essentially only protected by the first-level Permanent Defense Field.
Because he lacked powerful magic, he did not possess a permanent defensive force field shell, and the permanent defensive force field was merely a first-level product.
In other words, wizards who use the Kingdom's Domain all have the problem of low defense.
This is fine during normal matches, but if you get ambushed, it's bad.
Locke looked at Edgar in surprise.
"Edgar, you didn't leave? You actually refused the teleportation. You're not a wizard from Golden Crown Mountain, why get involved in this mess?"
Edgar laughed, "Locke, let's have a fight right here. I'm serious."
Locke frowned.
Edgar said, "I am serious. I also want to advance to the Star Ring Wizard level, especially now that it's so dangerous here. If you help me become a Star Ring Wizard, I will do everything in my power to help you fight them. Your ultimate magic combined with mine, if both are at the Star Ring level, will be incredibly powerful. So, I want to fight you now. I need to figure out what I'm still lacking."
"This is a necessary move to increase combat strength. My friend—Locke."
Locke hadn't expected this guy to be so obsessive.
"What?"
