The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 88 Advanced Rune Gem

If when Heb faced Sunan before, he still had a sense of superiority when a third-level wizard apprentice faced a second-level wizard apprentice, then now he has completely suppressed the contempt in his heart.

He vaguely realized that Sunan was no ordinary second-level wizard apprentice.

The opponent's strength was much stronger than he expected.

Containing the greed in his heart, Herb began to concentrate on dealing with Sunan. Accompanied by the strange chanting sound, two-ring spells were launched one after another.

The dazzling magic brilliance instantly filled the entire courtyard.

Although Herb has not yet mastered the silent casting of spells and the quick casting of spells, he has already mastered sentence-spelling.

This is a spellcasting technique similar to using magical items, which can release previously prepared spells in a short and quick way. Just recite a fragment of the mantra.

It is equivalent to a castrated version of silent spell casting.

It is also a necessary prerequisite skill for mastering silent spell casting.

Sequence casting is very demanding on mental strength, and basically only third-level wizard apprentices can master it.

And wizard apprentices who have mastered sentence segmentation can cast spells two to three times faster than before.

Sunan now had the illusion of facing a spell storm.

If it weren't for the powerful defensive power of the Ring of Ultimate Protection, he would have been beaten into a honeycomb long ago.

"One second-level spell can knock out nearly 100 points of defense of the Ring of Ultimate Protection. A 1,000-point defense can only resist eleven second-level spells at most, so we have to fight quickly."

"Sure enough, we can only rely on that."

Sunan took a deep breath, turned her wrist, and there was a sparkling rune gem between her index finger and middle finger.

The next second, he threw out the rune gem.

Herb saw it but didn't take it to heart.

Su Nan has thrown several rune gems before, and their power is similar to that of energy runes. He doesn't even need to activate protective magic items, he can resist them with only energy runes.

At this time, seeing Sunan performing his old tricks again, Herb didn't care. He glanced at it and continued to cast spells.

But the next moment, he was horrified to see the gem suddenly explode in mid-air, turning into thunder as thick as a bucket and crashing down!

The terrifying power suddenly enveloped Heb's body, and a chill ran straight up his back.

In fear, Herb had to interrupt the spell, endure the severe pain caused by the mental backlash, and immediately release the energy runes.

boom!

In the blinding lightning, the necklace around Herb's neck and the ring on his left index finger suddenly lit up, then quickly dimmed.

The protection of the two magic items was torn apart almost instantly!

Then there were three layers of earth energy runes, which only lasted for a blink of an eye before being torn apart!

The lightning then swept through the whole body, scurrying around Heb's body like an electric snake. The intense pain made the latter couldn't help but let out a shrill scream!

Fortunately, he was a third-level wizard apprentice after all, and his spirit was extremely tenacious. Heb endured the pain and mobilized energy particles to disperse the electric light on his body in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, green light lit up and spread all over the body. Plant energy particles rushed in crazily, quickly healing the wounds on the body.

While undergoing treatment, Herb stared at Sunan in horror.

What was that gem just now?

Why is it so terrifyingly powerful?

At this time, Sunan had already taken out the second rune gem and threw it out.

After learning that there was a wizard apprentice behind Marquis Jinyan, he had the idea of ​​synthesizing rune gems to use as a trump card.

And these high-level rune gems are the result of his actions.

Each one is composed of eighteen rune gems, and its power is twenty to thirty times that of ordinary rune gems!

It's not that Sunan doesn't want to use more rune gems for synthesis, but eighteen is already the limit.

If there are more, the synthesized high-level rune gems will not be controllable by him, and he will accidentally injure himself when using them.

It's like a three-year-old kid shooting a pistol, unable to withstand the recoil of the firearm.

Wow!

The rune gems turned into blazing waves of flames in mid-air, crushing towards Heb like a mountain.

Herb's expression changed, and he stepped back continuously, mobilizing energy particles to block it while casting spells.

【Elemental Protection】!

A glimmer of light emerged from his palm and spread throughout his body in the next second.

As soon as he finished casting the spell, Herb was drowned by the raging waves of flames.

As the name suggests, [Elemental Protection] can reduce various elemental damage suffered by the caster.

But even so, Heb, who rushed out of the flames, was still seriously injured, with many black wounds on his body. He looked extremely embarrassed, completely losing his previous calm demeanor.

"Damn it!"

Herb's face was distorted with anger.

He was a dignified third-level wizard apprentice, but he was beaten into such a miserable state by a second-level wizard apprentice. If the news spread, he would not be laughed at to death.

The key is that he just put down his cruel words not long ago and wanted to give Sunan a taste of death, but now he is beaten to a standstill and in a state of embarrassment. Don't be too ironic.

"I must kill you!"

Amidst the sharp shouts, Herb's thin body expanded rapidly as if it was inflated.

In just a blink of an eye, Herb's height swelled to more than three meters, thick black hair grew all over his body, and his limbs became extremely thick and burly. His exaggerated muscles were full of explosive power, making people feel weak at first glance.

In addition to retaining human-like facial features and being able to walk upright, Heb now looks like a giant bear.

"Transfiguration?"

"No, that's not right. Transfiguration is a fourth-level spell, and it is impossible for a third-level wizard apprentice to master it."

"It should be physical transformation. This guy has merged the blood of the beastman into his own body!"

Sunan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that Herb has done a lot of research on the lycanthropic bloodline.

At this time, Herb's eyes had turned a strange dark red, and a fishy smell was emitting from his **** mouth.

He roared, took heavy steps, and charged toward Sunan like a tank charging.

Boom!

The rune gems turned into thunder in mid-air and struck down.

This time Herb did not dodge, but chose to resist the lightning bombardment.

Strengthened by the blood of the beastman, his physical fitness has reached an astonishing level. Even with the electric snakes scurrying about his body, he can still maintain the momentum of sprinting, and in the blink of an eye he is within five meters in front of Sunan.

Looking at Sunan's 'thin' body, a ferocious smile appeared on Heb's face.

At this distance, even low-light protective magic items cannot resist him!

This kid is dead!

Herb's heart surged with murderous intent, and strong excitement filled his chest.

But when he got closer, he was shocked to find that there was no trace of panic on Sunan's face, but instead a hint of a smile.

Inexplicably, Herb felt uneasy deep in his heart.

The next second, a bone-chilling cold air suddenly burst out from Sunan's body, sweeping in all directions like a storm!

Click! Click!

A large number of ice crystals quickly condensed in the air, and a thick layer of ice quickly spread along the ground.

Herb didn't even have time to react, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on his body.

The huge body seemed to have pressed a slow-motion button, and its movements were visibly sluggish.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sunan quickly retreated and distanced himself. At the same time, the ring on the **** of his right hand flashed with light.

In an instant, countless black mist emerged from the void, quickly condensing into a huge claw, and fiercely attacked with a strong aura of death.

Claws of Calamity! Facing the fiercely attacking giant claw, Herb's body was covered with frost and his movements were sluggish. He had no way to dodge and could only watch as the giant claw hit his body hard.

Shit!

There was a sound like the tearing of cloth, and several **** wounds appeared on Heb's body.

The strong aura of death penetrated along the wound, constantly corroding his flesh, and blood flowed down like a spring.

"ah!"

A shrill howl came from Herb's mouth.

Although it was not visible from the outside, the strong negative energy attached to the Claw of Disaster was already violently attacking his internal organs and flesh and bones.

The intense pain made Heb's eyes become redder and redder, and the whole person seemed to be in some kind of violent state. Both eyes turned faint blood red, as if the pupils had melted in the eyeballs, and the eyes glowed faintly. light.

Tsk tsk tsk!

A large amount of dense blood mist suddenly escaped from Hebu's skin and steamed up.

The extreme high temperature caused the ice on his body to melt quickly.

"Is it similar to the ability to transform into a beast?"

Sunan curled her lips.

Although this state can greatly improve combat effectiveness, sanity will inevitably be affected.

For a wizard, maintaining a clear mind at all times is the most important thing.

Sure enough, after regaining his mobility, Herb immediately roared and charged at Sunan, transforming into a ferocious beast.

Sunan looked calm. He turned his palm and found three more rune gems between his fingers.

The next moment, three rune gems flew out of their hands, turned into lightning in mid-air, and struck Herb head-on!

Boom!

Deafening thunder echoed over the courtyard.

The dazzling lightning was like a giant ball, completely submerging Hebb!

Fine arcs of electricity spread around, almost sweeping across the entire courtyard. The lycanthropes, giant bears, and hidden dragons who were fighting were swept by the arcs, and their bodies were all paralyzed and stiff for a moment.

Only the steel golem was immune to the paralysis effect and took the opportunity to smash a lycanthrope into a pulp with his fist.

When the lightning dissipated, there was a huge hole four to five meters deep in the center of the courtyard.

Herb was lying in the middle of the pit. His huge body had returned to its original appearance. His whole body was scorched black, and there was almost no intact skin left.

There were five long **** wounds on the chest and abdomen, and the skin and flesh were rolled outwards, which was shocking.

After breaking away from the beast-like state, he seemed to have regained consciousness. There was panic in his eyes. He struggled to raise his head and made a strange whooshing sound in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But Sunan, who was well aware of the dangers of the sorcerer's apprentice, did not intend to give him this opportunity, and directly shot a lightning beam through his eyebrows, throat and heart to ensure that this guy would never die again.

With eyes full of unwillingness and despair, Herb stopped living.

Sensing that Heb's soul aura gradually dissipated, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief.

Even after a battle, he was barely injured, but in fact he had exhausted all his cards. If he still couldn't kill Herb, he would have to consider escaping.

"All the high-level rune gems have been used up." Su Nan felt a little hurt.

A high-level rune gem costs more than three hundred gold coins.

During this time, he spent all the gold coins on hand and only synthesized six.

The three just now were the last high-level rune gems in his hand.

Fortunately, the last blow finally solved Herb.

At the same time, as Herb died, his giant bear demon pet also whined, and its body disintegrated piece by piece, turning into fly ash and dispersing in the air.

Without their controller, the two lycanthropes fell into chaos and were killed by the Hidden Dragon and the Steel Golem not long after.

Seeing that the enemies had been dealt with, Sunan felt relieved and walked to Heb's body and squatted down.

"A battle cost almost two thousand gold coins. I hope you have something that can make up for my loss."

Su Nan stretched out his hand and began to touch the body.

Due to the thunder bombardment, most of the things on Heb's body had been damaged, including two suspected offensive alchemy-level magic items.

Only protective and space-type magic items with relatively stable properties have been preserved and have not been damaged.

The two protective magic items were both alchemy-grade and of little use to Sunan, so he put them away and prepared them for the students to redeem.

But the last space ring has a lot of things stored in it.

Gold coins, gems, books, various materials and sundries.

There were more than a hundred gems alone, which was more than enough to make up for Sunan's consumption in this battle, making him feel better all of a sudden.

But this is not the place to count the loot. Sunan put the things away and prepared to go back to the base and slowly count them.

Standing up, Sunan caught a glimpse of several guards poking their heads at the courtyard door from the corner of his eye.

But people outside heard the noise in the courtyard disappear, so they sent people over to find out what was going on.

Seeing Su Nan standing in the center of the courtyard, all at ease, several guards showed joy on their faces. They turned around and shouted excitedly: "Your Excellency Su Nan has won!"

Not long after, a group of people rushed into the courtyard.

Key, the leader, walked a few steps quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sunan was unharmed.

Then he glanced at the messy courtyard, which looked like it had been swept by a storm, and he couldn't help but secretly gasp.

The battle between the sorcerer apprentices was indeed terrifying. Dozens of great knights fighting together wouldn't be so destructive.

"Where is the wizard apprentice?" Key asked after coming back to his senses.

"It's been solved." Sunan pointed to the charred corpse lying in the pit.

Key's expression suddenly became happy when he saw this.

During this time, he was worried about the existence of hostile wizard apprentices.

But I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to kill me. Now I have no worries at all.

"In the war after spring, we suddenly lost one of our biggest threats." Key grinned.

Sunan smiled and said nothing.

Under normal circumstances, Herb's approach was correct.

Generally speaking, for his dignified third-level wizard apprentice to deal with a second-level wizard apprentice, it was completely easy, and there wouldn't be any surprises at all.

It's a pity that he happened to bump into someone like himself, and was smashed to death by equipment and props that were one level higher than him.

I can only say that I was unlucky.

Shaking his head secretly, Sunan did not explain to Keyi, but just asked him to burn Heb's body as soon as possible.

After all, looking at Heb's appearance, he was probably fused with the blood of the original lycanthrope. Who knows if his corpse was contagious? If it wasn't handled properly, someone might be infected with lycanthropy.

Key soon figured out the connection, immediately agreed, and turned around to arrange for people to dispose of the body.

Sunan put away the steel golem and left the lord's mansion.

He couldn't wait to see what was in Herb's space ring.
