Chapter 310: Building the Eye Demon Wizard's Reputation
This witch was hammered by Locke with one mushroom blow into the floor. Her sister immediately screamed and used a First Circle spell Ice's Sorrow. Immediately an ice ring self-destructed around Locke's body, but was blocked by the Oak Armor on Locke's body.
Locke chanted the All Plants Are Soldiers spell again. The handle of the Executioner's Hammer Mushroom in his hand automatically extended, the mushroom head rapidly enlarged, becoming as big as a carriage, and fiercely smashed onto the other witch's body. At the same time, a gravity sphere similar to a shadow ball surrounded her body, attempting to break her in half at the waist with twisted gravity.
The wall beneath this witch directly formed a huge crater.
However, many ice rings protected her body. Those ice rings shattered piece by piece, but ultimately there were still one-third of the ice rings surrounding her body. After Locke stopped attacking, the permanent defensive field rapidly restored the number of ice rings around her body to their original state.
Therefore she wasn't smashed into two sections by Locke's one hammer blow.
She screamed once, ignored her sister who had fallen behind, her body transformed into a ghost again, passed through the wall, and fled elsewhere.
Locke glanced at her.
Permanent defensive fields were just this troublesome. Two First Circle wizards with permanent defensive fields fighting was like two medieval knight lords wearing full plate armor comparing martial skills. After fighting for several hours, ultimately they could only win by exhausting the opponent's stamina.
Locke returned his attention to the witch he had hammered into the corridor floor.
At this time, that witch had already climbed up from the corridor floor. She used magic to grow another head from her neck, looking at Locke with a flushed face. She saw her sister escape and immediately became extremely anxious. "Sister?"
"Damn it, when disaster struck you flew away yourself."
The witch looked at Locke, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes, "Don't think I'm easy to bully. I'm already over two hundred years old this year. I've stayed at the formal wizard stage for at least two hundred years. Everyone in the world fears me, dreads me, calling me Brittany Potter the Infant Spirit Witch."
The Infant Spirit Witch chanted a spell. "Don't think I'm easy to bully."
"At critical moments, students are still more reliable. What sisters? They're fundamentally not as reliable as these students of mine who've become ghosts."
Brittany summoned the infant spirit ghost from the side and stuffed it into her own soul. At the same time, she chanted a spell again, once more using the First Circle spell Fetal Spirit Ghost. This infant spirit was slightly different from the previous one. Although both had large heads and wore red clothes, this one wore a gold lock made by its mother around its neck.
At this time, the Infant Spirit Witch similarly dragged this infant spirit into her own soul. Three souls merged with each other, transforming into an unprecedentedly powerful infant spirit ghost.
This infant spirit ghost wore three skulls around its neck, while white wraith spirits swirled around it. Each wraith spirit was screaming, which was precisely Brittany's permanent defensive field magic Wraith Scream.
The Brittany witch transformed into an infant spirit and fought toward Locke, "I am the black wizard Infant Spirit Witch. My spells all have combinations!"
Witch Brittany swung the infant spirit's massive palm. Along the way, the walls were damaged into ravines by her, and frost condensed in the ravines.
Ghosts naturally had low temperatures and couldn't approach the living. The more powerful the ghost, the lower its temperature.
Moreover, she had Wraith Scream around her body. Staying near her meant enduring the mental attacks of wraith screams every moment, while also facing infant spirit attacks that simultaneously had physical damage, frost damage, and mental damage.
No wonder she, an ordinary formal wizard, could kill her way to fame among black wizards in her two-hundred-plus-year life.
But Locke was already impatient. A trace of abyssal energy flashed through his eyes. His magic pressure increased from 3000 to 3500. Using Oak Armor, he came before Brittany and smashed down with one hammer blow.
"Be a proper person!"
"You two sisters put together can't even piece together one person's brain."
A gravity sphere the size of a house appeared on the Infant Spirit Witch's body. The entire corridor was destroyed by the gravity field, transforming into blocks of stone and shattered magic alloy that Locke hammered into midair with one blow.
Locke chanted the All Plants Are Soldiers spell again and smashed another hammer blow onto the Infant Spirit Witch's belly. Her swollen ghost belly, like a balloon, was fiercely struck by Locke. She spat out countless soul energies and her entire body shrank somewhat.
Then, without waiting for her reaction, Locke smashed another hammer blow up. At the same time, he activated more ancient creature bloodline. A gravity field the size of a house enveloped her body, smashing away all the wraith spirits on her body. At the same time, the two infant spirits she had merged with were also forcibly hammered out of her body by Locke.
"You!" Before Witch Brittany finished speaking, her cheek was struck by Locke again. A basketball-sized gravity field enveloped her face. The abyssal energy and the Executioner's Hammer Mushroom's gravity magic formed some kind of linkage, actually strengthening this gravity magic.
The gravity magic transformed into an abyssal sphere, once again enveloping Witch Brittany's head. Then with a 'bang' sound, it exploded and twisted her body, trying to suck it in.
Even though Witch Brittany used the First Circle spell [Ghostly Transformation], she still couldn't escape this abyssal gravity sphere combined with abyssal energy.
'Bang~'
Her entire body was squeezed. Amid screaming sounds, she chanted a spell, split her soul, and made her soul transform into a soul serpent, slithering along the corridor.
'Too terrifying. This white wizard is too terrifying.'
Witch Brittany hadn't expected that in such a short time, she would be beaten by Locke from a complete person into only a wisp of soul serpent.
If she weren't a ghost school wizard very knowledgeable about the soul domain, she would have already been directly killed by Locke by now.
'I need to escape quickly. This is also good. Now I've been beaten into only a wisp of soul. He may not be able to figure out I'm still alive. After I leave, I'll find a newborn infant and directly use the First Circle spell Ghostly Possession to possess his body. I'll start over from scratch, just right to change my permanent defensive field to defensive magic.'
Locke stepped on the tail of this soul serpent with one foot, terminating all of Witch Brittany's fantasies.
Having consumed large amounts of Beholder Lord Potion, Locke's perception far exceeded ordinary formal wizards. The abyssal energy at his eye locations was no joke.
At this time, a magic eye appeared on Locke's forehead, "Does this remaining soul have magical protection behind it?"
Witch Brittany was extremely frightened. "Wait, wait. My soul is protected by a First Circle magic item Soul Torch from our Ghost Sacred Order headquarters. I can't completely die."
"Stop... don't you white wizards make deals? I want to negotiate a deal with you. I have many ghosts made from the souls of my first-class wizard apprentice students and second-class wizard apprentice students. I can sell them to you. As long as you select an infant with good wizard aptitude for me, preferably a Child of Elements, let him be my student. I..."
The next moment, Locke's innate magic eye on his forehead opened wide. A geomagnetic force beam released. This geomagnetic force beam seemed to produce some special change due to the primordial rune panel's bonus. It was no longer a beam of light but a rotating sphere that could be large or small.
At this time, this sphere compressed enormous energy to the size of a grain of rice and fell into this soul serpent's body. The next moment, the entire soul serpent was destroyed by an incomparably terrifying geomagnetic force beam.
At the moment of destruction, the symbol representing the Calamity Beast appeared on its surface, a claw mark burning with flames.
In this instant, Locke's magic pressure... was 7000.
An ordinary First Circle wizard's mana was 1000-3000. A vaporization wizard's mana was 3000-6000. A liquefaction wizard's mana was 6000-9000. A crystallization wizard's mana was above 9000.
That is to say, using the Calamity Beast panel, Locke's magic pressure had substantively reached the level of a liquefaction First Circle wizard. Therefore, for an instant, his mana even underwent qualitative change, transforming from a mist state to a liquid state.
At the same time, the Infant Spirit Witch Brittany completely died.
This witch who had dominated the southeastern quadrant for over a hundred years, notorious and infamous, died in Locke's hands.
Locke rapidly sealed his Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline. The reason he used primordial runes in battle had two causes. First, he hadn't expected this thing's soul would be so difficult to kill. It could only be said that ghost school wizards indeed had deep research in the soul domain.
Second, during battle, because the energy was chaotic, he had already disconnected from the Nibelung System. No one could see his battle footage, and the surrounding magic traps had all been destroyed by his Executioner's Hammer Mushroom.
So using it for just an instant, the problem wasn't big. No one would discover it.
During the battle, Locke actively contacted the Nibelung System.
In the Nibelung System, Witch Gabriel asked worriedly, "Locke, how are you?"
"We couldn't contact you starting from just now. The magical energy on your side was too chaotic."
Other people's worried voices also rang out in the Nibelung System.
Locke said calmly, "Mm, I'm fine. I killed a formal wizard from the Ghost Sacred Order. She said she was the Infant Spirit Witch Brittany."
The Nibelung System suddenly became completely silent.
After a long while, Old Witch Forbes smiled and said, "What an Eye Demon Wizard. You've built the illustrious reputation of our Lilith's Cottage."
"That Infant Spirit Witch Brittany has dominated the southeastern quadrant for a long time. She's cruel and often collects the souls of newborn children. The human experiments she's done are outrageous. It's just that she's truly cunning and her methods are indeed effective, so all along, no one has been able to catch her."
"I didn't expect that today she would die at your hands."
"Your reputation will spread throughout the entire southeastern quadrant with her death. According to black wizards' terms, this is Dread."
