Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 235: The Counterattack of Perseus Eye

"Watch out~" Albert shouted.
The next moment, that First Circle level curse creature leaped onto the wall above Locke's head. Its right hand flesh deformed, transforming into a scythe emanating black light, about to strike down at the Large Green Owl Banana on Locke's back.
Below the three of them was a strong acid river. Once knocked down, they would fall directly into the strong acid.
Albert backhanded a 0.9-circle [Blade Bamboo Sword Dance], forcibly cutting this terrifying monster vertically in half, then slashing horizontally again, dividing it into four equal pieces.
The instant attack speed of Blade Bamboo Sword Dance was extremely fast. At the moment of swinging, it exceeded both the attack speed and movement speed of this modified ghoul.
But after being cut into four pieces, this monster not only showed no signs of death, it actually used what remained of each upper half of its body, transforming one hand into a flesh scythe emanating black light, to strike at Locke and Albert.
"Wizards... die..."
At this critical moment, Albert shouted, "Locke, dodge quickly!"
Sisyphus shouted, "Throw me out to draw it away, Locke!"
Locke frowned. An ordinary person in such a panicked situation would likely make many mistakes but at this moment, he not only felt no panic, he became even calmer. His thoughts were like a still ancient well, unaffected by any emotion.
His pupils even slightly turned into golden vertical pupils.
'Even if I abandon them, I can't escape. This ghoul's vitality and bodily functions have been greatly strengthened by curse worms. And it's filled with hatred toward all wizards. It's not hunting us specifically, it's hunting any wizard,' Locke thought quickly. 'Wait, no matter how strengthened it is, its foundation should still be curse magic.'
'Curse worms are just a carrier vessel. The high-level geometric curse spell patterns inside the vessel are what truly take effect.'
Locke immediately summoned the Perseus Eye Lichen Shield from his astral ring and used the 0.5-circle [Moss Shield]. Instantly, green halos surrounded the surface of his Perseus Eye Lichen Shield, forming circles upon circles of green light.
These green halos were the spell radiance emanating from the [Moss Shield] spell model. Driven by this 0.5-circle spell, the Perseus Eye Shield blocked between the monster and Locke's group.
'Clang~'
'Clang~'
The monster's flesh scythe scraped against the surface of the Perseus Eye Lichen Shield, creating magical sparks and leaving two huge grooves on it.
But the attack from this flesh scythe transformed from curse worms against Perseus Eye also quickly caused the eye pattern inside Perseus Eye to light up, emitting a crystalline green light wave.
Magic reflection!
'Bang~'
In just an instant, this monster let out an unprecedented scream. "Wizards... detestable wizards..."
"I hate you, I resent you..."
"One day, I will kill you all..."
Under the magic reflection of the Perseus Eye Lichen Shield, the flesh of this ghoul modified by curse worms actually began to collapse. Its flesh decomposed bit by bit, exposing the large amount of black mycelium of curse worms inside its body.
Under the magic reflection of the Perseus Eye Lichen Shield, this creature's flesh could no longer be maintained. The curse worm mycelium barely connected its remaining body cells, combining all these cells together in one go.
In this bizarre situation, this creature's body actually swelled up, becoming a flesh ball covered with bloody tentacles.
The bloody tentacles around this flesh ball waved like flagella, continuing to chase after Locke and the others. However, this time the speed was much slower and could no longer keep up with Locke's Plant Mimicry: Bird of Prey Transformation.
Locke even had leisure time to stop and look back at that monster. "Perseus Eye Lichen still has sufficient counterattack power against this type of monster."
"After all, Perseus Eye Lichen had previously obtained broad-spectrum resistance to Blood Curse Court's common curses through magical plant curses, and gained corresponding magic counterattack ability."
"That monster seems to have had its body blown apart by my Perseus Eye Lichen. Its body has collapsed and is now in a completely out of control state. This way, its movement speed has become much slower and can't catch up with me at all."
Locke looked at the curse worm modified creature behind him that, even after becoming a flesh ball, still waved its flagella-like bloody tentacles trying to catch up with him, and frowned.
The curse creatures created by these senior curse masters were really too disgusting.
If they really researched something with curse worms, wouldn't these ghastly things be everywhere on the battlefield?
Fortunately, the Perseus Eye Lichen he had cultivated before performed very well and could still perfectly reflect the curse energy on that monster just now.
All changes stem from the same source. No matter how the curse spell pattern changes or what the carrier of curse energy is, it's all curse magic anyway, and Perseus Eye Lichen can reflect it all back!
Locke checked his Perseus Eye Lichen and found that this lichen was already in a half-destroyed state and could probably only be used one more time.
He still needed to develop supporting spells for Perseus Eye Lichen as soon as possible.
He could even use this as a foundation to develop a basic spell model framework that could be continuously iterated, preparing for the Perseus Eye Lichen series defensive magical plants after he advanced to First Circle wizard in the future.
Albert and Sisyphus, seeing that they had escaped danger, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally got rid of that thing." Albert looked at the Perseus Eye Lichen floating around Locke and rotating around him in midair, raising his eyebrows. "Junior Locke, where did you obtain this rare defensive magical plant? Its defensive effect against curse magic is so good that it can even reflect back the failed product made by a First Circle level senior curse master."
"I've never seen such a powerful defensive magical plant before."
"You really have a lot of rare magical plants on you. Your assets are very substantial."
Sisyphus also rarely interjected, "That's right, Mr. Locke."
"I've never seen this kind of defensive magical plant either. Could it be that you discovered an unknown wild magical plant somewhere? No, that's not right. There are obvious traces of magical modification on it. It doesn't look wild, but more like... something made in a laboratory."
Locke looked at the two of them in surprise and said somewhat strangely, "Oh, I cultivated this myself."
"It's not a magical plant obtained from somewhere else. It's not a rare magical plant either. I can mass produce this type of magical plant!"
"I'll be selling it at Lijin Secret Language Plant Shop in the future. If you want some, you can purchase them. By the way, this is also my entry for the custom magical plant competition. If I get in the top three and obtain an academy procurement order, you won't even need to buy them. On the front lines, you can directly obtain this type of magical plant in exchange for military merit."
Locke looked at the two with a strange expression. "What? In your eyes this counts as a rare magical plant?"
"This can be considered a rare magical plant?"
Albert and Sisyphus didn't know what to say for a moment.
Sisyphus smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes, I really feel that people like me don't have much common ground with you geniuses."
Albert said, "Junior Locke, you're joking."
Locke thought deeply. 'It seems whether a magical plant is rare or not is relative. This type of magical plant is indeed currently not for sale to wizards other than me...'
Locke suddenly became serious with the two, saying, "You two, you both know some defensive plant magic, right? Any supporting plant spells that drive fungi, moss, and lichen magical plants will do."
"I'll give you two Perseus Eye Lichen Shields."
Locke said, "Don't refuse first. This is part of a transaction. After you two get out, you can endorse my Perseus Eye Lichen Shield."
Albert reacted very quickly. "Of course."
"I understand. It's for the competition, so you need endorsements, right?"
Clearly Albert was also someone who frequently participated in competitions. He immediately understood what Locke currently needed and what situation he was in.
