Chapter 273 Special Permanent Defense Field Magic

Locke was in the Garden of Eternal Twilight. He didn’t know how long the battle lasted. Even the [Cortical Charging Bolt], [Cycad Purple Tincture] and [Soul Spring Soul Surge Potion] that were left over from the last battle were all spent, but he killed so much that the front of the manor was filled with rubble.

 The memory fragments belonging to the first-level wizards all poured into his mind and became Locke's own.

 From these memory fragments, Locke even sorted out what the permanent defensive force field of this first-level wizard was during his lifetime. It was the first-level magic [Stone Legion] of the Transfiguration School.

 Hence, as long as he is in a place, the statues and stone statues in that place will automatically be given [continuously changing forms], thus gaining [action capabilities] that are enough to destroy any enemy.

Even if there is no stone statue in a place, this official wizard could use the spells of the Transfiguration School to easily use the surrounding materials to create the statue he wanted out of thin air.

 This is the power of the permanent defensive force field magic. Even if it is a one-ring magic, the permanent defensive force field occupies the magic pressure level, an important soul structure of the wizard, so its consumption is very small and the casting speed is very fast.

  The type of permanent defense field magic can often determine most of a wizard's combat effectiveness.

 Many wizards' spells after the first level are learned and developed to assist their own permanent defense magic.

 This is what Locke realized during the battle in this secret realm.

 When the clock tower bell rang for the third time, time was reset again.

The black-locked sword bamboo was once again driven by the spell model of [Every Tree and Plant Are Weapons], and collided with the two-handed sword in the hands of the expressionless angel statue soldier.

 Locke noticed that the other party's overall level had indeed improved a bit.

 This means that it takes some effort to deal with such a small stone soldier.

 But for now, these stone statue soldiers who have been reset for the third time are still within the range that they can deal with.

 Locke quickly stepped back, but for a moment, he was stunned. "This feeling is..."

   "These statues have transformed three times! Is there no upper limit to the strengthening of the permanent defensive force field [Stone Legion] of the First Ring Shapeshifter? 』

    Why can time in the secret realm be reset again and again? This secret realm follows the magic rules of the first-level wizard during his lifetime. This is not even his heyday. Calm down, the Transfiguration School should not have the ability to really change time. It should be possible to change time now because this is a secret realm. 』

    『You must think calmly in order to find a way to break the situation. This is the true meaning behind this secret realm. 』

  During the battle, in the ever-changing situation, the black-locked iron sword in Locke's hand had a layer of invisible mana stuck on it. That layer of mana was like a rubber band, connecting the rare magic plant in Locke's hand to the two-handed sword in the hand of the angel statue soldier, and began to stretch when Locke stepped back.

When it was stretched to the extreme, the invisible rubber band transformed by the transformation mana suddenly tugged and pulled Locke himself directly.

 At the same time, two stone soldiers who transformed into eagles attacked Locke's chest with their claws, trying to kill him.

 At the critical moment, Locke took out three rotten soil konjac kings from the astral ring, and used [Ephemera Fireworks] to let three rare magic plants bombard the statue soldiers repeatedly, and he used scorch bombs to blast away the stone statue soldiers who were attacking.

 Locke seized the opportunity, and the natural magic eye on his forehead swept over the statue soldier who locked himself with transformation magic, and bombed it into pieces.

 In this way, the super rubber band formed by the energy of transformation between it and itself will be able to break itself.

 Otherwise, it will be too troublesome to deal with it. You will either give up the magic plant in your hand, or you will be led by the opponent.

  A larger memory fragment fell into Locke's mind.

 Loke's eyes narrowed. "I see, I understand."

   "The strength of the stone soldiers driven by the transformation spell has a limit. The stone soldiers cannot always become stronger. Although three transformations may seem incredible, they cannot be that powerful. Therefore, the transformation The weak one is actually me. "

 Locke looked down at the manor and saw a huge magic circle of the transformation school rising from the ground of the manor. "The essence of transformation magic is [changing form], so even I am constantly changing my form."

“Time is very unique in transformation magic and occupies a very high status. Time is a [ruler] to measure whether an object is deformed.” Locke recalled the basic content of transformation magic through the All Things Class. "Everything changes under the scale of time. Without time, there would be no change."

   "Therefore, all the changes in time that I have felt before are all hints of the magic in this secret realm, and in this magic circle, it has quietly changed my perception of time."

"Similarly, my strength and speed have slowed down due to the continuous changes in my form caused by this magic circle." Locke thought: "This is an advanced application of transformation magic. It is a one-ring magic [weakening magic circle] that this one-ring wizard used to strengthen his permanent defense force field magic [Stone Legion] during his lifetime."

"It's a pity that even in this echo, this first-level magic is incredibly weak. Even I can't deal with it."

 Locke is very excited now. In this secret realm, it's like a first-level wizard is fighting with himself. During the battle, he inspires his thinking, forces himself to think, and opens up his wisdom.

  To a certain extent, this is the true meaning of this secret realm to the wizards.

  And Locke felt it unconsciously.

 The time of a first-level wizard is precious, and not everyone can enjoy it. A first-level wizard dissects his own magic and wastes so many resources on himself, just to tell himself the way of first-level magic.

Locke used the blood of ancient creatures to strengthen his flying magic plant and increase its flight speed. At the same time, he circled the manor three times and stopped all attacks.

 This unusual behavior made the watcher wizard who was observing in secret feel a little baffled.

  "What's the situation? What does that kid want to do again? Did he give up?"

  "That saves me some time."

  "I have transformed three times, and this time the wizard's secret realm consumes a lot of magic resources. Trouble, if it weren't for the sake of Harlan Vera, I should have kicked him out long ago."

"That little girl couldn't even survive the first round. This is like the fighting level of an ordinary white wizard. This guy's fighting level made me think he was an undercover agent from the dark wizard."

 Watcher Wizard , saw Locke spinning several times in the air, and the group of stone statues flying behind Locke were getting faster and faster, and when they were about to catch up with Locke and make Locke unable to avoid it, Locke suddenly made a sharp turn and crashed directly into... the center of the manor, the clock tower!

  The wizard wizard was shocked. "Oops, what does he want to do!"

 "Stop it!"

 At this moment, above the secret realm, Locke's eyes were firm, his pupils had completely turned into vertical pupils, and his combat IQ was turned to the limit.

While comparing himself with the one-ring wizard from a distance, Locke thought about the key to transformation magic - the ruler.

 All shape-shifters have a ruler to measure whether they are deforming. Without this ruler, they cannot tell whether they have deformed or not.

 As long as this ruler still exists, the transformation magic will not get out of control. A large number of shapeshifters have permanently transformed into some kind of magical creatures, just because their ruler disappeared.

  The invention of the ruler in transformation magic has greatly improved the combat effectiveness and safety of transformation magic. However, as long as the ruler is destroyed, the transformation magic will be seriously disturbed and even destroyed.

 Lock, during the battle, was constantly thinking about how to destroy the opponent's ruler.

 The opponent's ruler is most likely the clock tower in front of him.

  With your own attack power, it is very likely that it will not be enough to destroy the bell tower, so you can use this stone statue army that is no longer under the control of anyone and operates automatically.

 Locke's flaming pea bullets hit the bell tower, but were all blocked by a layer of magic defense cover on the surface of the bell tower. Locke saw that his magic attack was indeed unable to break through the bell tower, so he took the initiative to cancel the flying magic, which caused him to fall directly from the air and plummet to the ground.

  Like a meteorite.

 But because of this, he avoided the legions of stone statues in the air that were chasing from behind. Since Locke was very close to the bell tower, the raptors transformed by these legions of stone statues were unable to stop them, and with inertia and stone claws, they directly attacked the bell tower.

       
   The stone claws of the stone statue legion collided with the bell tower.

  The guardian wizard in the fog of magic was almost blind. "It's over. He is a student. Even if he damages the secret realm, do we really need him to compensate? Impossible. But I am the one who has to pay."

 "This kid, is he going to destroy the secret realm I guard?" Are you a white wizard who is stuck in a rut? "

  The guardian wizard quickly used magic to try to maintain this secret realm, and kept opening the magic circle, causing more magic power from the Sunflower Garden to be injected into the secret realm, trying to use a large amount of magic power to maintain this secret realm.

 The consumption of this moment almost made this guardian wizard go crazy.

At the same time, Locke instantly dispelled the flying magic at high altitude, so he was equivalent to falling directly from a height of 100 meters. He got up from the mud pit and rubbed his face.

 Because he has been transformed by the blood of ancient creatures, even if he falls from a height of 100 meters, he will not die, and he will not even suffer any fractures, just multiple soft tissue contusions all over his body.

  He raised his head and saw that the clock tower at the top of the manor had indeed begun to collapse.

 Locke watched this scene with interest. "What will happen?"

 h "This shapeshifter is officially a wizard, does he have any backup plans?"

 h "It's really interesting to compete with a first-level wizard. It greatly increases my knowledge."

I saw that the half-collapse of the bell tower caused a large amount of magic in the Stone Statue Legion to go out of control. The foundation of modern transformation magic is different from the foundation of ancient transformation magic. Ancient transformation magic did not have a ruler system, but now the transformation magic system has a [ruler].

 As soon as the ruler fell, the transformation magic began to collapse on a large scale.

 The individuals of these stone statue legions began to fragment one by one.

 I don’t know how many crystals exploded from the bodies of these stone soldiers. Some of these crystals are triangular, some are cubes, and some are polygons.

 At the same time, memory fragments poured into Locke's mind like they were free of charge. In a short period of time, Locke greatly improved his understanding of the first-level wizards.

 Even because the amount of information poured in so much at once, a lot of information was lost.

 Locke had an idea and took out the bottle of Beholder Lord potion from the astral ring and drank it directly.

  I have memorized all the formulas and heating techniques of the Beholder Lord potion, so there is no use in keeping it. Instead, it is better to drink it to improve my mental strength.

 Furthermore, the Beholder Lord Potion has a side effect, which can enhance one's mental sensitivity and mental perception to a greater extent than the Beholder Potion, and this can happen to play a role when one accepts these large amounts of memories.

In an instant, Locke suffered the huge side effects of the beholder lord potion. His perception of himself completely changed to that of a beholder lord floating in the air, and he quickly acquired all these memories.

 With the blessing of the beholder lord's potion, many tiny memory fragments that flashed by and could not have been captured by the wizard apprentice attracted Locke's attention.

  "Hmm?"

  "Is this a variable-ring permanent defense field research project? Lilith's cabin's special research project five hundred years ago?" Locke seized the fleeting moment and quickly captured the important information from this complicated and fragmented information.

  "This is really an unexpected surprise. I didn't expect to have such a harvest."

In the infusion of this huge memory fragment, Locke used the extremely enhanced perception of the Beholder Lord potion to supplement an abnormal memory fragment.

 Locke learned from this memory fragment that five hundred years ago, Foucault had studied a dangerous but interesting project with a ring crystallized wizard in Lilith's cabin, which was to develop a deformable permanent defense field for the ring wizard.

 Using the intersection of transformation magic and plant magic, trying to find a botanical permanent defense force field magic that can change oneself to a certain extent.

 This kind of project is very meaningful. As long as it succeeds, it will be an experiment to change the existing pattern of the southeast corner area.

  A ring of permanent defensive force field magic that can relatively change oneself is of such great significance that it is unimaginable. It can completely turn Lilith's cabin into a sacred place of botanical magic.

 But the experiment of this project failed until the end.

 Furthermore, that special project caused a huge ethical crisis.

 Because in that special project, Foucault and another first-level wizard Cliff Reeves actually used the souls of a large number of first-class wizard apprentices to conduct experiments, and even conducted experiments on the souls of some of their first-level wizard colleagues without their knowledge.

  Serious incidents led to the death of many wizards, and the laboratory was finally sealed.

 But Locke learned from Foucault’s memory that their experiment was very close to success at that time, but they could not solve the last problem [the problem of a closer connection between magic plants and wizards] until the end, so the experiment continued to fail.

 In addition, the serious ethical crisis at that time ruined both of their reputations, so they could only die in depression due to the failure of their research, which Foucault regretted until his death.

 Furthermore, his original memory of this experiment was to be erased by a wizard from the Psychic School using special magic in accordance with the requirements of the association.

 This is the punishment and requirement imposed on him by the association.

But Wizard Foucault, using a special ring of transformation magic, actually deformed and hid this part of his mind, and also hid the specific location of the research site of he and his colleague Cliff Reeves in this part of his memory.
