Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 233: Curse Worm Modified Ghoul Legion

"Found them! Hmm? There are quite a lot of little monsters following behind Senior," Locke said while flying. He drank another bottle of Spirit Spring Soul Surge Potion to restore the massive amount of mana needed to maintain his flight ability.
The moment he drank the Spirit Spring Soul Surge Potion, waves of mana rose from the depths of his soul, automatically filling up like a pool, restoring his mana to its peak state.
At the same time, Locke located Albert through two invisible tomb spirits.
Albert was currently being harassed by a group of ghouls, and behind him was a first-class wizard apprentice from Lilith's Cottage who had been infected with special microscopic curse creatures.
Clearly, Albert had taken the risk to rescue a good friend he was familiar with, which resulted in a large number of ghouls escaping from the advanced isolation room and beginning to besiege them.
At that moment, Albert was battling numerous ghouls.
After those ghouls escaped from the advanced isolation room, they actually split off some of their forces to specifically destroy other advanced isolation rooms and release the ghoul legions inside.
These ghouls had obviously been modified by the senior curse master Rashid Tariel. Each ghoul was actually quite formidable.
However, they were all failed experimental products with their own problems, so they were still far from being successful products.
At first, Locke was somewhat worried about whether Albert, having come into contact with the first-class wizard apprentice from Lilith's Cottage that he had rescued, would be infected with those specially made microscopic curse creatures.
However, it was clear that Albert was not only a potion master's assistant like himself, but also had deeper accumulation in the field of potion studies than he did, very close to becoming a First Circle potion master.
Therefore, through the tomb spirit, Locke observed that he himself showed no traces of infection from any microorganisms.
Albert threw a bottle of Wormwood Potion toward the ghoul group behind him and used the potion vaporization technique. A green mist rose up among the ghoul group.
Wormwood Potion could dispel inauspiciousness and negative energy particles. Therefore, after a large number of ghouls inhaled it, the potion components formed resistance against the curse energy inside them.
Electric sparks appeared on their body surfaces one by one, then they fell to the ground but this could only delay things for a little while, because soon these ghouls climbed up from the ground again.
Wormwood Potion could dispel undead, but the problem was that these ghouls had a large number of microscopic curse creatures inside them that could continuously provide new curse energy to these ghouls.
Therefore, the more traditional potion master's assistant methods for dealing with ghouls were no longer effective here.
Albert's eyes darkened. "What the hell, the curse magic inside these ghouls seems to have some special medium."
"And these ghouls aren't ordinary ghouls either. I can only use spells."
A small and slender bamboo sword appeared in Albert's left hand. The base of the bamboo sword was black, wrapped around his left hand like chains.
Using the matching plant-type spell, the 0.9-circle [Blade Bamboo Sword Dance], he cut a ghoul covered entirely in white bones in half with one strike.
"So hard," Albert said, holding another first-class wizard apprentice with his right hand and gritting his teeth. "How did these ghouls manage to have such abnormal bone proliferation throughout their bodies, with even the ribs in their chest growing together and merging into a bone plate?"
He used [Blade Bamboo Sword Dance] again, cutting an approaching bone-armored ghoul in half.
Sisyphus, the first-class wizard apprentice being supported by Albert, coughed violently and spat out some blood clots. His eyes were full of guilt. "I'm sorry, Albert."
"I should never have let you rescue me. If this ruins Lady Sophia's plan, that would be terrible."
"Those black wizards used microscopic curse creatures to invade those creatures' bodies. Those damned curse creatures made those corpses develop diseases that ordinary people get, like abnormal bone growth and organ expansion, using these pathological characteristics to strengthen these ghouls."
"They want to use this method to strengthen curse ghoul legions, even vampires, but this should only be one of their research sub-directions."
"But what they really want to do, I don't know either. I originally wanted to pass this information back to the academy, but who knew those black wizards would discover me. As a result, they performed human experiments on me and turned me into what I am now... cough cough cough..."
A ghoul whose entire body was parasitized by curse worm mutated cells, with its mutated cells hijacking the biological body's normal operation, maintaining a body temperature of 60 degrees Celsius at every moment, having no skin and emitting blood steam all over, nimbly pounced toward Albert.
Because its bodily functions had been developed to the extreme by the curse worm-parasitized mutated cells, its movements were extremely fast. Albert missed with his strike twice.
Sisyphus warned Albert, "Quickly put down this burden that I am. I have no value anymore!"
"You should go."
Albert raised his eyebrows. The black chain sword bamboo wrapped around the base of his left arm suddenly moved. He softly chanted an incantation, and these black chain-like sword bamboo roots suddenly wrapped around the ten ghouls around him.
0.8-circle [Bamboo Root Chains]!
At the same time, Albert swung the Black Chain Sword Bamboo and cut all ten ghouls in half.
Albert said, "Naturally, I'm a wizard. If I felt I couldn't save you and would suffer myself as well, I would definitely abandon you."
"But currently, it's far from reaching that point."
Albert released him and used his right hand to take out two bottles of [Troll Excitement Gland Potion] from his astral ring.
He drank one bottle himself, then tossed the other bottle into the air behind him.
"Sisyphus, another friend of mine has arrived."
After drinking the Troll Excitement Gland Potion, Albert's entire body was wrapped in red magic power. His mana suddenly became dangerous. Although the quality and quantity hadn't changed, the nature of his mana became extremely attack-specialized. This caused the Black Chain Sword Bamboo in Albert's left hand to be tinged with a hint of red.
Albert could now kill three or four specialized ghouls with one strike.
He continuously swung the rare magical plant Black Chain Sword Bamboo in his hand. For a moment, the ground beneath his feet was covered with corpses of ghoul experimental subjects.
At the same time, six bottles of black and white potion were thrown from a direction in the air into the middle of the ghoul group. Three portions of Black and White Flame Potion exploded simultaneously.
Three black and white flame mushroom clouds burst forth from among the ghouls.
Sisyphus sensed magic pressure with extremely high mana quality rapidly approaching. "This magic pressure is?"
"I have no impression of it at all. This doesn't seem like the magic pressure of those first-class wizard apprentices from our academy's top clubs."
Albert said, "Oh, that's my new friend."
Albert shouted toward the sky, "Locke, you came. Sorry, I made too much commotion here."
Locke caught the Troll Excitement Gland Potion that Albert threw to him in midair and directly drank it down, increasing his mana's attack power.
Locke descended from the air, grabbed the two of them, and taking advantage of the gap when the ghoul group was being bombarded by the magic potions, pulled the two up into midair, breaking free from that group of ghouls and flying back along the original route.
"No problem, I've already controlled my black wizard spy to to their research institute's core control room that their experimental subjects have lost control on a large scale. So you just happened to help me complete the last part of this lie. This way, when they check which areas have experimental subject leaks, they'll be able to find something and truly believe it's simply experimental loss of control."
"Those ghouls aren't our enemies. Just let those black wizards solve the monstrosities they created themselves."
"The muddier the waters, the better!"
