Chapter 119: Chapter 107 A Wave of Witchcraft (Part 1)

The puppet’s movements paused, then it slowly lowered its head. Although the beautifully painted face of the puppet showed no human emotions, the tiny threads connected to it began to vibrate with a certain rhythm, and the aura that radiated from its body started to collide with the spiritual field released by Lucien.

Boom—

The spiritual fields of the two Formal Wizards began to crash into each other, producing a special noise on a spiritual level that caused several Wizard Apprentices to immediately cover their ears in pain. A few of the weaker apprentices even felt waves of dizziness under the continuous assault of the noise and soon lost consciousness.

"Such formidable spiritual power," the consciousness of Wizard Heli remarked from within the Mysterious Puppet as he felt the surging spiritual power emitted by Lucien, shocked in his heart.

Before, he had been thinking about temporarily pushing back Lucien and taking Carly back alive before "digesting" the Pureblood Fairy. Then, he would deal with the newly-promoted Lucien. However, after the clash of spiritual power with Lucien, Wizard Heli started to panic.

Because in the just recent collision of spiritual power, he was actually at a slight disadvantage!

This meant that Lucien’s spiritual power had already surpassed the one he had been constantly refining for over a hundred years in terms of quality. If it weren’t for the fact that he had a slight edge over Lucien in terms of the accumulation of spiritual power, compensating for the lack in quality with quantity, the outcome of their first collision could have ended in his defeat!

The problem was that the "quality" of spiritual power was the most important aspect, related to the promotion on the path of a wizard, while the quantity of spiritual power was just a matter of time or resource accumulation.

Having such quality of spiritual power shortly after being promoted, Lucien would definitely have an easier path as a Formal Wizard in the future, and could even be called an absolute genius among Formal Wizards!

With the spiritual power displayed by Lucien, once he returned to the interior of Greybone Academy, he was destined to draw the attention of other Formal Wizards.

If Lucien were a Third-level Wizard Apprentice, then with his backgroundless identity, he might be dreaded by these Formal Wizards and then jointly eradicated. But Lucien had become a Formal Wizard, so the other Formal Wizards with no enmity towards him would definitely try their best to court him.

Some wizard families would even very thoughtfully send over their carefully trained female Wizard Apprentices to Lucien, offering him a wealth of resources and paying a great price to tie Lucien to their war chariot.

And if it were known that Lucien had a grudge against him, some Formal Wizard circles with poor relations with him would accept Lucien without hesitation, even sponsoring him with resources and knowledge at the Formal Wizard level; even some neutral Formal Wizards would tend to side more with the young, promising Lucien...

After a brief shock, Wizard Heli’s eyes turned exceptionally fierce.

He might not know how bright Lucien’s future was going to be, but he knew that the best choice for himself was to take advantage of this opportunity to snuff out Lucien, who had already offended him, in the bud.

"If I can’t beat him on the level of spiritual power, then let’s try this." With his seasoned combat experience, Wizard Heli quickly came up with Lucien’s current combat weakness.

Soon, his hands moved.

Like a skillful musician, Wizard Heli began to pluck the tiny threads in the void with agility.

With his manipulation, some rocks, trees, and even some bodies that had lain on the ground for who knows how long, began to slowly rise up, and even the ground itself started moving in a regular pattern.

First-level Witchcraft [Heli’s Puppet Abode]

This was Witchcraft that Wizard Heli himself had developed. Using this witchcraft along with some setups, he had steadfastly worn down two Formal Wizards within his Puppet Kingdom!

Wizard Heli had already seen Lucien’s biggest current flaw: he had not yet transitioned from being an apprentice to forming a combat system belonging to a Formal Wizard.

And what he was doing now was to use this flaw of Lucien’s to attempt to trap him to death within this high-level domain-type witchcraft.

"Going straight for Formal Witchcraft?" Lucien watched quietly as the manipulated plants, rocks, and some bodies rushed towards him. His eyes, however, did not show much disturbance. Instead, he viewed the encounter as a rare opportunity to experiment with witchcraft.

Whish—first, a huge red bud enveloped Carly and the others, successfully blocking the invasion of the threads that surfaced from the ground.

Zero-level Witchcraft [Guardian Flower·Modified]

Boom, boom, boom—

Lucien waved his hand, and instantly numerous plant seeds he threw out, which had been infected with witchcraft models, grew rapidly upon hitting the ground. In the blink of an eye, they turned into tree people puppets with longbows on their backs, and began fiercely shooting at the encroaching Kuilai.

Zero-level Witchcraft [Summon Treant Archer·Modified]

Although the Zero-level Witchcraft cast by Lucien was less powerful than the Formal Witchcraft constructed by Wizard Heli, Lucien, relying on his robust spiritual power, was always able to quickly unveil the most suitable witchcraft spell, managing to counter Wizard Heli’s Formal Witchcraft with one or two Zero-level Witchcraft spells.
