Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 210: Pharaoh Mask Tomb Spirit

What Locke held in his hands was exactly the Rapid-Fire Peas he had synthesized earlier.
During these two weeks, Locke had not only synthesized the special synthesis formula for Large Green Leaf Banana, but had also synthesized three sixth-level Rapid-Fire Peas into [Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas].
Of course, because of this, the magical plant seeds obtained from the germplasm repository had all been used up, either consumed in synthesis or failed to grow successfully.
As for the Thunderbolt Electric Potatoes obtained earlier, no special formula appeared temporarily in synthesis. The 7th-level synthetic item Thunderbolt Electric Potatoes were only slightly more powerful than the original version but this was only minor improvement.
Unlike [Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas] and [Large Green Owl Banana], which had undergone massive breeding mutations and positive trait upgrades.
At this moment, Locke was chanting the incantation for the rapid-fire spell from the Metal Torrent series. After hearing vampire Howard's plea for mercy, Locke frowned and stopped his attack.
Locke maintained his flight in mid-air using [Plant Mimicry: Bird of Prey], looking at vampire Howard who was also in the air. After thinking carefully, he spoke, "You want to submit to me?"
"That's not impossible. But you must seriously cooperate with my experiments. After my teacher leaves Lilith's Cottage, you'll be my experimental subject alone. As long as you cooperate well with my experiments, when I become a formal wizard, I'll return your freedom."
Locke would do this because if vampire Howard actively cooperated with his experiments, it could improve the quality of his experimental data.
It would also improve his current combat methods and provide combat reference against Blood Curse Court vampire apprentices.
Locke said, "Of course, you'll need to leave the black wizard organization then."
Hope arose in Howard's heart. Although in his view, he didn't know how long he'd have to wait until Locke became a formal wizard but this was hope nonetheless.
Howard immediately agreed, "Yes, master. I'll tell you everything I know and work hard to cooperate with your experiments."
"Relax your concentration." Locke gently recited the [Summon Tomb Spirit] incantation. In an instant, vampire Howard felt an extremely cold, energy-filled object appear above his head, pressing heavily on his shoulders.
Locke looked in surprise at the tomb spirit he had summoned.
The current tomb spirit was neither transparent nor invisible.
Instead, it was massive, topped with a tombstone that had decorations resembling a pharaoh's mask, with a magic eye appearing in the center of that mask.
The image and energy of summoned tomb spirits would change according to the caster's current state and mana.
Obviously, after Locke performed ancient creature bloodline transformation on himself, his mana had changed to some degree, causing even this tomb spirit's appearance to change, seemingly becoming more powerful.
That pharaoh mask tomb spirit directly pressed down on vampire Howard, nearly causing him to fall from the air. The moment Howard released his soul magic pressure structure, it immediately forcibly possessed vampire Howard.
"The Summon Tomb Spirit spell was actually strengthened by the ancient creature bloodline in my body." Locke thought, "Of course, I've just completed bloodline transformation and can't perfectly control this power, so the summoned tomb spirit's appearance and abilities have been affected."
With a thought from Locke, the tomb spirit's appearance changed again after completing possession, returning to something similar to the tomb spirit that old McCarthy had summoned, with its body in a semi-transparent invisible state.
'An invisible tomb spirit is still more suitable for lurking in others. The possessed person can't even detect the invisible tomb spirit's existence. I can strengthen tomb spirits I've placed on others with ancient creature bloodline energy when necessary, transforming them into pharaoh mask tomb spirits to enhance the possession effect.' Locke quickly thought.
'The pharaoh mask tomb spirit seems to have gained some active attack abilities.' Locke considered. 'I can have the pharaoh mask tomb spirit physically attack Howard.'
'If I can do this to Blood Curse Court's first-class wizard apprentice Howard, I can do the same to that second-class black wizard apprentice I planted a tomb spirit on before.'
'I just need to be close enough to him.'
He was just beginning to learn archaeological spells. He could only say that archaeology, originating from black wizard territories, was indeed mysterious and changeable.
A single [Summon Tomb Spirit] could actually have so many variations.
Under the enhancement of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline in his body, the [Summon Tomb Spirit] spell had been strengthened to at least 0.7-circle level!
However, since his ancient creature bloodline was transformed through archaeological methods, such chain reactions seemed to be within his expectations.
After Locke planted the tomb spirit in vampire Howard, Howard immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In his view, Locke had placed some kind of restriction on him.
According to black wizard rules, he was now Locke's slave, his property.
Since he was Locke's property, he seemingly no longer had to fear that Locke would suddenly attack him.
Vampire Howard actually flew closer to Locke unusually, "Master, the curse magic on me has already been cleared once by your teacher. So I now belong completely to you."
Locke gestured somewhat disgustedly for him to stay farther away, "Now I want to use you to test vampire baron basic combat power, as well as the power of my plant-type spells."
"Spar with me."
"Stand still first."
Vampire Howard immediately stood in place.
These people who grew up in black wizard territories had different values from others.
They had an instinctual obedience to their masters.
This didn't even require Enchantment School spells using mental state alteration methods to control them.
Locke raised the Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas with both hands, recited the rapid-fire spell, and with a thought, three steel pellet peas immediately shot out from the trumpet mouths like bullets, firing toward Howard.
Two burning flame steel pellets passed by his side, falling to the ground and creating fist-sized craters that continued burning with flames.
One flame steel pellet hit vampire Howard's shoulder area, collapsing his left shoulder and igniting the area around his left shoulder.
Locke looked at the True Sight Orb floating over to record this scene.
This would allow him to carefully and repeatedly replay these scenes later to observe, learn, and improve his combat techniques.
"A single burning steel pellet pea doesn't do that much damage to a vampire apprentice with 200 mana." Locke thought, while the trumpet mouths of his Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas simultaneously burped, shooting out sparks.
"However, ordinary Rapid-Fire Pea main stems store 600 steel pellet peas, and my synthesized Rapid-Fire Pea main stems store 1,200 steel pellet peas."
"Moreover, after using [Rapid-Fire Spell], each head of the Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas has a full-speed firing rate of 200 rounds per minute."
"Half-speed firing rate is 100 rounds per minute."
"Slow-speed firing rate is 10 rounds per minute."
"And like the burst fire just now, each mouth can fire about 3-4 times per minute."
"As long as there are enough burning steel pellet pea bullets, they can still kill these first-class wizard apprentice vampires."
The 0.8-circle rapid-fire spell had four modes total: 1, full-speed firing mode; 2, half-speed firing mode; 3, slow-speed firing mode; 4, burst firing mode.
These four modes were suitable for different situations.
Therefore, Locke needed to use this vampire to test his combat modes to improve his combat ability using rapid-fire spells, split spells, and Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas against vampires.
Locke looked at vampire Howard and commanded, "Now start trying every way to escape, whether you're flying in the air or running on the ground, whether you're using curse magic or other spells."
"All are allowed."
"I want to use you to rapidly improve my shooting accuracy over these five days."
The Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas in Locke's hands simultaneously burped with sparks.
