Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems
Chapter 466: Finals Begin
Three days later, ten Sureyas military legions assembled outside Kalimra Town. The Sureyas people wore tight-fitting military uniforms modified from wizard robes, each rubbing their fists and palms together, eager to try.
At the same time, Locke's voice appeared beside the commanders of the Sureyas Unit 3 that his team commanded, "Is communication all normal?"
The eight mages equivalent to First Circle wizards within Sureyas Unit 3 immediately collectively indicated that they could clearly hear Locke's voice.
At this time, Locke and the others, along with all the contestant teams, sat inside the viewing hall within Kalimra Frontier Town.
Inside the viewing hall was a connection to Azure Mist Silk, Cloud Marsh Wetland's communication system, which consisted of patches of water hyacinth magical plants growing on Cloud Lake's surface. Borrowing Cloud Lake's amplification effect, the Azure Mist Silk system's functionality far exceeded the southeastern quadrant's astrology system.
At this moment, Locke held a lingzhi mushroom, speaking as if into a microphone. "Unit 3, according to the predetermined plan, begin advancing. Montgomery, Barbara, Tacitus, Leopold, we need to provide technical support from the rear."
"In five minutes, attack toward the predetermined target, the Mekani people's steel fortress. War objective: destroy the machine spirit's physical body, the photonic quantum computer."
This was also this competition's nominal objective, though Locke knew the Cloud Marsh Cup Competition Committee probably wouldn't let such a thing happen.
The other teams were also instructing the Sureyas people, issuing them orders one after another.
In the viewing hall, True Sight Orbs appeared, then in an instant, vanished and disappeared.
The finals officially began!
At that time, the Sureyas people at the apprentice stage commonly used several types of magical vines as attack magical plants, along with a type of pumpkin shield as a defensive magical plant, plus some legion-specific personal magical plants.
For example, the Sureyas Unit 3 that Locke chose possessed a type called Wind Walker Bellflower, carried at the waist. Using the accompanying 0.5 Circle plant magic, it could increase movement speed.
The First Circle wizards among the Sureyas people generally used a type called Golden Sword Bamboo as their plant matching magic.
Because Cloud Marsh Wetland, as wizard civilization, only taught plant magic to the Sureyas people and never taught the critical breeding studies, the Sureyas people's overall level lagged behind Cloud Marsh Wetland wizards by at least three hundred years.
Moreover, the types of permanent defensive fields they could choose and the number of magical plant types they could select were limited.
This also meant that during these three days, the Sureyas mages of Unit 3, the moment they encountered the Hydra magical plant, were astounded and fell into deep shock at wizard civilization.
Locke's Hydra magical plant, even in the eyes of native wizards, was extremely shocking, let alone the Sureyas people who had knowledge lagging three hundred years behind the wizard world, had extremely incomplete disciplines, and had almost only been taught plant magic.
It could be said that Locke's Hydra once again left an indelible memory imprint on those Sureyas people.
It increased their reverence for wizard civilization.
At this time, the Sureyas people charged toward Cloud Lake. All ten competing teams watched this scene in the viewing hall, observing to understand the combat performance of the magical plants they developed.
The Sureyas people using plant magic collided with the mechanical cyborg Mekani people. The Sureyas people's magical vines cleaved through Mekani person after Mekani person, while the Mekani people's missiles and artillery also fell like raindrops on those Sureyas people.
Next was the Mekani people's customary first wave of attack. Hypersonic missiles loaded with large amounts of fire magic potion as explosives descended from the sky, attacking the eight First Circle wizards of Unit 3 where Locke was, implementing decapitation tactics against the Sureyas legion.
This was a common tactic of the Mekani people, attacking from beyond visual range to decapitate the enemy's important targets in the first wave.
Locke said unhurriedly, "Commanders, according to the training content from the past three days, use the Hydra magical plant to deploy an eight-fold permanent defensive field shield to block all of the opponent's attacks."
Locke glanced at the other teams in the viewing hall. They were also guiding the Sureyas people from behind.
On the battlefield, the Sureyas Unit 1 chosen by Wizard Edgar David, its eight First Circle wizard level mages, took out a life tree person from their astral rings. That life ancient tree person released such incredible magical pressure toward the surroundings. Its body was so massive that with it as the center, life energy almost condensed into liquid form. Its spiritual liquid nourished all the troops. Anyone injured was rapidly recovering.
In the judges' section, numerous high-ranking wizards discussed among themselves. The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council said, "Interesting, is that the Ancient Life Tree's Life Spring Water?"
"Legend has it that life ancient trees can nurture life and strengthen living races. Special springs can be born around them that rapidly restore every life form's vitality and mana. I didn't expect that the younger generation surpasses the older. Edgar David at this age can actually achieve this level."
The Third Circle wizard from the Rose Council said, "If he wins the championship, our Rose Council's Origin Academy is in need of such a talent."
The Third Circle wizard from Root Crown Court, Wizard John, also nodded. "I didn't expect he could complete the project proposal to this extent. He actually really created a life ancient tree. In my view, this type of tree person should be one of the most powerful tree people in the First Circle stage."
Dean Richie said with a smile, "In my view, that life ancient tree is still not complete. If it were a completely traced life ancient tree, it should naturally possess the power of a Second Circle wizard."
"Hmm... It should equal the power of a second transcendent. However, this transcendence is according to our wizards' conventions. Most races among us wizards, before learning magic, their individual power basically won't reach the degree of the first transcendence, but in the vast void, there are also races that are naturally equal to one transcendence, or even two transcendences. Life ancient trees should naturally equal the second transcendence, so the life ancient tree Edgar created is either not completely positioned yet, or that life ancient tree is still in juvenile form."
Dean Richie, as the president of Bonifacius University, had extraordinary knowledge. "This point is the same as the situation with dragon creatures. Of course, Witch Yekaterina naturally understands this better than I do. The true dragon race is naturally third transcendents. For them, growing to the Third Circle wizard level only requires sleeping."
Witch Yekaterina glanced at him and didn't speak.
Dean Richie turned his head to look at the screen in the theater, seeing the second-place team, Witch Diana's Sureyas legion also summoning a tree person, with eight wizards standing on the tree person's branches to control it.
That tree person was precisely the Luna Laurel Treant.
That was a completely new type of tree person, with no precedent to follow. This laurel tree person was extremely cold. The laurel tree person lightly waved its branches and created a frost stretching several thousand meters.
Large numbers of Mekani Gundams were enveloped by this frost and fell from the sky one after another.
