Locke left Zoina in a wasteland outside the manor, where there were fewer statue soldiers.
When Locke ascended again and flew back above the manor, he saw that on the roof of this manor at the boundary between life and death, where forbidden knowledge and power converged within the mory reverberation, the gargoyles opened their wings one by one, their eyes revealing red light.
A complex transmutation spell model appeared on the surface of their bodies.
These gargoyles flew toward the high altitude, pursuing him.
"After all, this is only the remaining power after a First Circle wizard's death. All First Circle magic has severely lost its original power." Locke concentrated his attention, took out the Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas from his hand, focused all his mana, and poured it into this magical plant. Imdiately, nine lines of fire sprayed out from the Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas, enveloping all the gargoyles.
The wings of the gargoyles were pierced by the burning pea steel bullets, their bodies began to shatter, turning into rubble that fell to the ground.
mory fragnts fell into Locke's mind one after another.
Locke flew in the sky, beginning to circle around the entire manor. Along the way, while shooting at the gargoyles pursuing him from behind, he also strafed the statue soldiers on the ground.
Massive statues turned into rubble under Locke's attacks. Transmutation energy shot skyward, transforming into pillars of light that dissipated. mory fragnts entered Locke's mind one after another.
"Using the Large Green Owl Banana and the Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas together, I simultaneously possess high mobility and high output." Locke thought, "Plus the Black Chain Bamboo Sword has raised my magic pressure to 800, along with the psionic network and Dryad energy comprehensively enhancing magical plant power. Currently my actual combat power is almost at the limit for wizard apprentices."
"If I keep this up, I can grind out a large number of mory fragnts."
Locke examined the mories in his mind. Although he had mined these mory fragnts from this reverberation, he still needed to rely on his own comprehension to understand and digest them. They could only accelerate his progress.
But just in this short ti, Locke had organized so unique insights through these mory fragnts, discovered various errors in his previous understanding of First Circle plant magic, and gained an overall concept of First Circle magic.
'I see. Essentially, I can piece together a First Circle magic spell using dozens of cantrip models. All cantrip models can be understood as parts that First Circle magic has been broken down into.'
'The wizard world intentionally designed it this way. The process of students learning cantrip models is the process of learning First Circle magic, so the more cantrip models learned, the better.'
Locke understood. "Not only that, First Circle spell models will be directly inscribed in the deep layers of my consciousness sea, having a greater connection with myself. Therefore, I can twist physical laws with my own will."
During this process, Locke rapidly used stones from other hills to polish his jade, quickly understanding what First Circle magic was.
'Bang~'
Locke used the Black Chain Bamboo Sword to pierce through an angel statue soldier's heart with one strike. Imdiately, the entire angel statue soldier's body was infused with Locke's black magic pressure, covered in cracks, and then quickly shattered. "According to the magical painting map Teacher Halen gave , killing this kind of angel soldier will give higher quality mory echoes."
"This is probably because this formal wizard had so preference for certain statues during his lifeti, so he was more likely to project important mories into this type of statue."
"Even though people are born with many identities, there's always the one identity they like most."
Locke looked at the manor. "I've been circling above the manor the whole ti. Let try approaching it."
When Locke approached the manor from the air, suddenly a bell tower in the center of the manor rang.
"Invading black wizard, you do have so ability. But you underestimate my magic. All innate identities are rely initial states that haven't been changed by magic!"
As the manor bell rang, a white light enveloped Locke's vision. When the white light disappeared, Locke discovered that all the damage he had created in the manor before had completely vanished.
All statue soldiers had returned to their original positions but it wasn't just that. Locke noticed that this ti the transformation energy possessed by those stone statue soldiers in this manor seed to have been strengthened sowhat.
Locke looked at the manor's clock and saw the clock had reset, returning to zero. At the sa ti, an angel statue soldier flew toward his back, raising the two-handed stone sword in its hands and slashing at him.
Locke raised the Black Chain Sword Bamboo, wanting to block the opponent's attack as before. But suddenly the stone sword in the angel statue soldier's hands began to rapidly transform under the effect of transformation energy, actually becoming a stone spear.
A slash beca a thrust.
In this crisis, Locke quickly adapted, flying upward, barely avoiding the opponent's attack.
And when Locke wanted to use the Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas to attack that angel statue soldier, silver-blue lines actually appeared on the angel statue soldier's surface. Those lines divided it into square-shaped stone blocks.
These stone blocks quickly reorganized. This made the statue transform like a Transforr, changing from an angel into a falcon with better aerodynamic structure. This falcon's flight speed was at least twice that of the angel, completely avoiding all of Locke's burning pea bullets.
Locke looked down and discovered that all the humanoid statues below had actually all transford into various birds of prey and flown into the sky, creating quite a grand scene.
Locke frowned. "What is this? A second transformation? Previously they already used transmutation to change the form of these statues, giving them corresponding mobility by granting them continuous form changes."
"But this ti, a second transformation has been added on top of the first transformation."
Locke dodged a bird of prey's claw strike. "Each bell ring is a ti reset, but I don't know how this is achieved based on the principles of transformation magic."
"Perhaps I can find out from the mory fragnts afterward."
While fighting with this group of aerial statues in the air, Locke thought, "No wonder the guardian of this wizard secret realm said I don't need to consider the impossibility of death."
"As long as I kill enough, it will trigger the bell ring, raising the combat power of all transformation statue soldiers once."
"If I grind through several tis, the increased combat power will eventually cause my death. But..." Locke's pupils turned into golden vertical pupils due to his body's uncontrollable excitent. "Before that, I can mine as much as possible and grind out more mory fragnts!"
Locke looked at his feet and saw all those bird of prey statue soldiers following behind him. In this instant, Locke took out the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus from his astral ring and continuously used Scorched Earth Bomb. Imdiately, ten Scorched Earth Bombs spewed scorching fla pillars behind him. At the sa ti, Locke inserted three tubes of pea supplent potion into his Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas and sprayed fire continuously at his back.
mory fragnts entered his mind one after another.
Locke said, "As expected, the transformation statue soldiers with increased strength have higher quality mory fragnts on them. I roughly understand how to play this secret realm."
"The higher one's combat power, the more advantageous it is here."
"It's not just a simple matter of high or low combat power, one also needs to think." Locke aid his gun at those statues that were transforming. One burning pea bullet could completely shatter a statue that was transforming.
In an instant, countless stone statue soldiers in the manor were destroyed by Locke.
"The mont these statues undergo their second transformation is when they reveal their weakness."
"Statues that are transforming and reorganizing are very fragile. Just a slight external force can destroy them."
"By seizing this opportunity, I can easily kill these statues." Locke fought while retreating. In the sky, he destroyed a large number of statues. mory fragnts converged toward him one after another. At the sa ti, Locke activated his ancient creature bloodline. His natural magic eye flashed once and destroyed the statue closest to him.
At the edge of the battlefield, in the mist full of lantern grass, the guardian wizard's figure appeared at the edge of this wizard secret realm.
Holding a scythe and wearing a black wizard robe, the guardian's eyes revealed a trace of red light. "I didn't expect this student to be so skilled in combat. This is truly rare."
"There are very few white wizards who are so skilled in combat. In rapidly changing combat, while under a formal wizard's thods, he can still maturely discover the flaws within. This is truly..."
"Beyond my expectations."
"Although there is a permanent solidification array maintained by lantern grass in this reverberation that can restore the reverberation again and again, it consus enormous magical energy every mont. If I let him continue killing like this, the energy he alone consus from the secret realm is sowhat excessive."
"Moreover, the resources of this secret realm are limited renewable resources. If too many mory fragnts are plundered at once, the secret realm may not be able to regenerate and will shrink in scale. The academy leadership will reprimand ."
The guardian wizard hesitated. "Forget it, he's Halen Vera's student. I'll wait a bit longer."
