Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 244: The Death of a First Circle Wizard

A cobalt blue and silver iris flower fell upon the neck of senior curse master Rashid Tariel. In an instant, Rashid's eyes widened.
This blue standard iris was a high-grade magical plant, a First Circle level magical plant. The magic Witch Sophia used just now was an even more powerful spell model among First Circle spells.
The First Circle permanent defensive field that Rashid had engraved on the magic pressure structure layer of his soul surface was Fear Blood Curse. Its damage was very high, the curse's range of effect was very broad, but its defense was insufficient.
This was a serious error resulting in a defect caused by his insufficient knowledge when he became a First Circle wizard, blindly pursuing more powerful curse damage.
Once a First Circle wizard's permanent defensive field was engraved on their magic pressure structure, it couldn't be greatly changed, only patched up. This resulted in Rashid always having severely insufficient defense among those of the same rank.
This was also because Rashid's teacher, the Blood Master, liked to hold back when he was still at the apprentice stage, not telling him the relevant knowledge, leading to his unstable foundation.
Rashid felt his flesh and soul rapidly shattering under the magic power of the blue standard iris.
His body's elemental structure lost balance. His flesh, skin and bones, as well as his soul, were all being rapidly injected with excessive ice element particles by the blue standard iris. This caused all his mana to become tainted with excessive ice element magic.
For a First Circle wizard, this was very serious damage. His entire soul structure experienced severe elemental imbalance in a very short time, and then the spell model photons in his consciousness sea shattered one after another.
In his mind, all sorts of black magic knowledge flashed by. Parts of knowledge related to spell models began to shatter and be forgotten due to the unstable soul structure.
'This is... after the high-grade magical plant destroyed the magic pressure structure on my soul surface, it's injecting excessive elemental magic into me. This is a common self-defense mode of high-grade magical plants. When utilized by wizards of the Life School, it becomes the most formidable weapon for killing.'
Madness and joy showed in the eye on Rashid Tariel's forehead. "I still understood it, Witch Sophia."
"Witch Sophia, I understood how you killed me."
"At least, I understood your last magic! I, Rashid, am a senior curse master, a formal wizard of Blood Curse Court. I possess power and prestige, respected by my peers..."
Within the reversed six-layered curse barrier, Rashid staggered forward a few steps, his body turning into ice crystals, then suddenly shattering.
Rashid's magic pressure rapidly declined. That nearly ten thousand magic pressure, after rapidly declining, caused the surrounding magical tide to begin collapsing toward his direction, so much so that the magical tide in a section of space experienced a vacuum phenomenon.
The magical vacuum caused more surrounding magical tide to surge toward the vacuum. A chain reaction produced a magical vortex, drawing everything nearby toward it.
In the fierce wind, Witch Sophia calmly watched this scene, letting the corners of her wizard robe flutter loudly in the wind.
Every formal wizard possessed massive amounts of magical power within their body, as well as incredible magic pressure. Their death was like a whale dying in the sea, like a great mountain collapsing, like the sun setting, like a demigod bleeding.
Therefore, when formal wizards died, at least in medium magic environments, two special phenomena would occur: one was [Magical Vortex], the other was [Reverberation].
Magical vortex meant triggering massive magical tide backflow, forming a magical vacuum in one area, causing discomfort to apprentice-level wizards. If apprentice-level wizards remained in it for long, it would seriously harm their bodies.
In another area, excessive magical tide convergence would form, likewise causing casualties among weak wizards.
Reverberation was this formal wizard's final swan song before death. His spell will, his spell models and magical knowledge, along with his rapidly declining magic pressure, would have one moment of final radiance due to excessive magical tide convergence.
At this moment, from Rashid's shattered body, quite a bit of curse magic sprayed outward.
Because Rashid was a curse master in life and learned curse magic, when he died, he would randomly spray outward the black magic from his lifetime.
Lady Morgana's voice appeared in everyone's ears at the Curse Ritual Research Institute. "Congratulations to you all, the operation was a perfect success."
"The death of a formal wizard will certainly be detected by the Wall of the Faithless. Blood Curse Court will be furious, so you need to retreat quickly."
"Additionally, as Rashid is a formal wizard at the gasification stage, his death will cause magical vortex phenomena and reverberation phenomena. It's estimated that after fifteen minutes, the reverberation phenomenon on him will reach its peak, and the entire research institute may become eternally cursed as a result."
"Evacuate as quickly as possible."
"I'm now using the Nibelung Astrology System to guide your evacuation route. All first-class wizard apprentices, fully assist me in operating this system."
Albert's voice appeared in everyone's ears. "Wait, Lady Morgana. We have another objective, which is to obtain Tartarus Cave Worm Spinal Fluid. We finally made it here, we should at least take some before leaving."
"Locke, give us the approximate location..."
Through the astrology system, Locke said, "Alright."
Next to the central control room, Witch Sophia turned around, bent down, and picked up from the ground the flower she had inserted there. That flower rapidly shrank from adult form to seedling. She once again inserted that flower into the magical vines on her wizard hat.
Witch Sophia walked a few steps toward the door, furrowed her brows, turned to glance at Rashid, frowned slightly, then left without looking back.
At this moment, Rashid, who was already in the process of death, knew things were irreversible. Once magical vortex phenomena and reverberation phenomena occurred, it meant this formal wizard was already dead.
Before his eyes appeared scenes passing by like viewing flowers from horseback. He saw how he was selected from the mundane world as a wizard seedling, captured by Blood Curse Court's vampires on the wizard ship, then how he continuously studied and fought in black wizard territory, finally surpassing his peers and catching the eye of the Blood Master, who was then just an ordinary wizard mentor at Blood Curse Court.
Then came his more than forty years at Blood Curse Court, throwing his weight around as a wizard mentor.
At this moment, Rashid suddenly felt a flash of regret. 'For decades as if a single day, I never once left Blood Curse Court. Perhaps I should have tried going out to see the world...'
'What is the outside world like? Maybe it would be worse than Blood Curse Court.'
The next moment, his consciousness completely dissipated. His memories and shattered magical knowledge and spell models, mixed with the magical wind caused by the magical vortex, continuously vibrated, forming a... curse magic storm that combined fragments of all his curse magic knowledge from life, continuously expanding and spreading outward.
At the same time, the abnormal situation at this Curse Ritual Research Institute was finally detected by Blood Curse Court's five sets of Wall of the Faithless.
