Chapter 1147

Chapter 1124 Shatter the Gate of Doomsday!

In the audience, the Rose Witch crossed her legs, sprayed some specially concocted perfume on herself, and then looked up at the sky with a strange expression.

“Katya, it seems that in this confrontation between us, you have been at a disadvantage.”

“You are too nosy.”

“Teacher, you should make a choice for the academic lineage, and decide who you should fully support to become a fourth-circle wizard.”

In the sky, the Witch Catherine looked at the Lightning Great Demon behind her, only to see that the Lightning Great Demon was using its full power for some unknown reason.

Remember the original website domain: 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

Under the full power of this great demon god, the laws of all planes in the sky seemed to transform into lightning. He alone suppressed the three throne wizards of the Senate, while the remaining nine third-ring dark wizards besieged the four throne wizards on Golden Crown Mountain. On the ground, the native third-ring wizards of Rainswamp seemed to have realized they couldn’t just stand by and watch, but due to the anti-dimensional forced summoning array set up by the Maupassant family, they were unable to get there for the time being.

Moreover, the dark wizards had actually summoned the Ancient Velociraptor King on the ground. This Ancient Velociraptor King was currently fighting against the third-ring and second-ring wizards of the local White Wizarding Association of Rainswamp.

Meanwhile, the most powerful enemy in the sky was still the Ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex King, one of the three ancient kings summoned by the Maupassant family’s Grand Elder.

Catherine the Witch had a wound on her abdomen, sustained in the battle against the Three Ancient Kings. Even someone as powerful as her could be injured when facing the Three Ancient Kings.

After all, they were former rulers of the world!

The scene that the three-ringed witch from the Starfield Sea had shown Locke earlier wasn’t entirely an illusion.

At the same time, Jinx produced an illusion screen showing Locke Augustine bound by magical chains. The Gate of Doom had opened, and the Abyss Legion pouring out was heading towards Locke.

Jinx bowed to Ekaterina and said, “Your Majesty, please allow my teacher to assist you. If you are willing to compromise, we can completely pin the blame on the dark wizards. We can say that the dark wizards are deceiving the emperor and creating discord. As for the previous video evidence, the magic of the illusion school is now very advanced. My teacher has already ordered a wizard from the Solar Illusion school to commit suicide. This person was originally a dark wizard, and using him as an excuse will explain everything.”

“From a legal standpoint, we can do this without breaking the law.”

“As long as you agree to compromise, we can help you immediately. You and your students will be safe and sound, and Mount Golden Crown will suffer no loss.”

The Maupassant family elder looked at the witch Jinx with a sinister gaze. “The nameless emperor, is this a break with our Dark Wizard Alliance?”

The witch Jinx looked at him coldly, remaining silent.

To that powerful figure in the Starfield Sea, these Dark Wizards were nothing more than kept dogs. Now that the dogs were disobedient, acting on their own and even endangering their master, there was no need for these dogs to continue existing. Besides, even if they broke off relations, the current relationship of mutual benefit remained.

The Dark Wizards still needed the special, prohibited trade channels provided by that powerful figure.

They were merely elevating a few more obedient Dark Wizards; these third-ring Dark Wizards, for the sake of profit, had no choice but to comply.

Jinx the Witch looked at Ekaterina the Witch, and at the same time, all four Dragon Thrones looked over, each somewhat surprised by the hesitation in Ekaterina’s eyes.

The Green Dragon Throne said strangely, “It’s just a student. This is the first time I’ve seen Katya hesitate over the safety of a student.”

The Blue Dragon Throne set up a magical barrier, then called out to Ekaterina, “Red Dragon Throne, things have come to this point. Don’t hesitate, don’t risk your life for great things!”

Ekaterina turned to look at where the Bitterwood was.

In the world of Bitterwood’s memories, facing the Third Ring Holy Mage who suddenly realized she herself had fallen into some kind of scheme, Locke suddenly looked at the Holy Mage and said, “My lord, your Doomsday Gate was set up in Despair Valley sixty years ago. And if you have a deep cooperation with the dark wizards and are an unnamed emperor of the underworld, then the Maupassant family is also your power.”

“This Doomsday Gate exists for the purpose of creating gods?”

The witch Asanos looked at Locke and sneered, “Can you understand such profound knowledge as I’m telling you?”

Locke said, “My lord, although you are a Third Ring Wizard, I always feel that your academic level seems to be superficial. I don’t need to understand; I can already see it.”

Locke pointed to the sky above Bitterwood. “That must be the result of the Maupassant family’s forty years of research in Despair Valley.”

Above Bitterwood, there was a complex magic circle, and the souls of abyssal creatures after their deaths drifted upwards.

Locke boldly speculated, “Although I don’t understand that magic circle, based on the information I currently have, this Gate of Doomsday was prepared by you for your Asanos God-Making Technique. I think the souls of the abyssal creatures and the wizards’ souls will combine in this God-Making Technique, and the key to your God-Making Technique lies in the Bitter Tree, the dominant representative species of the Bitter Love Tree genus.” “

I have complete information on Mr. Probus, and I’m quite certain that he didn’t have the resources or conditions to obtain something so extremely precious even to the Sun Ring Wizards, something they could consider a family heirloom for their research group. Therefore, I boldly speculate that the Bitter Tree is the key to the Asanos God-Making Technique.” “

The Gate of Doomsday is also part of it.”

“This is indeed some kind of astonishing experiment.”

Locke looked at the witch. “This also explains why your avatar is here, because this experiment is so important. But I think this experiment should have been initiated by Probus back then, but you yourself didn’t foresee what would happen later.” “

This led to this laboratory falling into the hands of the Maupassant family, and they, or rather the Crimson Deep Court behind them, carried out the subsequent experiments. And you, in effect, lost control of this place. Over the years, the Maupassant family has been openly and covertly opposing you, which is why the current situation has arisen.”

The witch Asanos glanced at Locke with surprise. “Although you are only a Moon Ring Wizard, your judgment is good. Although there are some discrepancies, the general idea is correct. That bitterwood is the key to my God-Making Spell. Bitterwood has a special natural magical structure that can replicate the completion of my God-Making Spell. Of course, this spell model is still not perfect.”

“Lock Augustine, your research intuition is quite good.” “

I continued to feign compliance with the Maupassant family and reached an agreement, so this situation remained at a stalemate for the time being.”

“Until your appearance. You are a good person, why did you betray me?”

The witch Asanos looked at the nine wizards standing behind Locke. The eleven contestants of the second round of the Tianjiang River competition had actually gathered here.

“Then, I encountered you all. Hahaha—does this mean all the younger wizards in the world are going to oppose me?”

“How absurd!”

“So there are actually people in this world who dare to be my enemies?” “

So many at once? Are you all going to fight me?”

The avatar of the Witch Asanos sneered at the ten wizards standing before her, saying, “Are you sure that in the current situation, you must offend me?”

Some of the ten wizards present, even those with their own ulterior motives, kept their eyes flickering and remained silent, showing their attitude. For them, this competition along the Tianjiang River, which was extremely important to them, was the most important thing. The wizards who had entered the second round were all the most talented young talents in the Eastern Region, so how could they be swayed by a few words from the avatar of this third-ring witch?

Locke said to the avatar of the Witch Asanos, “My lord, your era has passed.”

The avatar of the Witch Asanos gradually disappeared without a trace.

After she disappeared, countless legions of abyssal creatures raised their battle banners and attacked Locke and his companions.

“Kill the wizard, gain control of the magical plant, and open the passage to the wizarding world!”

“Once we conquer the wizarding world, we can avenge those traitors!”

A massive abyssal army surged towards them.

Edgar’s treant army was gradually overwhelmed by the hordes of abyssal demons.

Meanwhile, the wizards of the White Wizarding Association in the Rain Swamp were unable to enter due to Locke’s barrier, so they contacted Locke through the Water Hyacinth System. However, Locke quickly discovered that the Abyssal Queen’s obstruction prevented him from removing the barrier restricting the Moon Ring Wizards’ entry.

Locke glanced at Wizard Karl and said, “Hello, Wizard Karl. Many unfamiliar faces have arrived this time.” Locke

glanced at the wizards present. Except for Rose, everyone else was there. Some familiar faces were missing, while others were unfamiliar. Ramses, Appian, Sera, Karl, and Chaos, along with Rose, had all advanced to the second round. The four unfamiliar faces seemed to have emerged as dark horses, fighting their way out of the re-ranking process. This

was understandable.

The Tianjiang Riverbank had long been the focus of attention in the Eastern Boundary, and it was clear that four of the wizards who had participated in the March meeting had failed.

Locke felt a slight pang of sadness for those wizarding geniuses he had only met once,

especially Georgina.

When Locke’s gaze fell upon the wizard Sera, Sera smiled, revealing a provocative look. “Before Lady Georgina fell into a coma, she mentioned you during our match. She seemed to admire you quite a bit, Mr. Locke Augustine. It’s a pity her skill was too mediocre; she fell to my hands, and her soul is now permanently damaged.”

Sera’s smile was mocking. He held up his palm, revealing a spell model, which Locke immediately recognized as a spell model from the New Textile School: the Celestial Garment Hunt.

Clearly, the witch Georgina had fallen to his hands, and something seemed to have gone wrong; she had been harmed by him. Even her most important ultimate spell and some spell models seemed to have fallen into this wizard’s hands, and there was something about Sera that made Locke extremely uncomfortable.

Locke suddenly remembered a category he had seen in an ancient magic book, a type of ancient necromancy: necromancy.

It was a type of magic that summoned a spirit through necromancy to gain the spirit’s abilities.

This magic is listed as a forbidden spell by the White Wizarding Association because, although it can grant the user some of a wizard’s magical abilities through spirit possession, the understanding is superficial and incomplete.

However, many wizards have studied this magic and used it to publish articles. If this magic is used to summon the spirits of powerful wizards, it’s possible to gain their abilities, making the user appear as a genius.

From Locke’s current perspective, this is a form of psychic magic that absorbs the other party.

Locke asked, “Spirit possession?”

Spirit possession is part of ritual magic, and Locke, with his astonishing talent for ritual magic, is extremely sensitive to it. Seeing Wizard Sera showing off what he obtained from the witch Georgina, he immediately and instinctively spoke.

Wizard Sera was startled, then sneered, “What spirit summoning magic?”

Locke glanced at him, then said, “Wizard Sera, I’ve met your senior sister, the Frost Witch. She seems to have suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of my predecessor, Mr. Probus of Golden Crown Mountain. Mr. Sera, are you going to repeat your senior sister’s fate?”

Wizard Sera’s face was incredibly ugly, his eyes flashing with jealousy and greed for Locke’s talent.

He would never have the ability to construct universal truth in his life, but if he could defeat Locke and devour Locke’s form—

Wizard Sera thought of the Lich God’s suggestion.

“Lock Augustine, the White Frost Witch is my senior sister, the wizard who guided me onto the path of magic. She is of immense significance to me, extremely important in shaping my personality. To me, she is like a teacher and a mother. And you speak of her like that in front of me. You’d better watch out.”

Sera’s words had barely left his lips when everything went blurry. Before he could react, Locke had grabbed his throat, lifting him into the air. The surrounding wizards watched with amusement, offering no assistance. He felt Locke’s grip on his throat.

He could barely breathe.

Sera chanted a spell, trying to cast a “Stop Breathing” spell to stop himself from breathing, but the next moment, Locke snapped his throat with his left hand.

Locke looked at Sera with icy eyes.

Sera sensed something was wrong; sweat poured down his forehead. Locke was now a Moon Ring Wizard, while he was only a Star Ring Wizard, and Locke possessed overwhelming magical pressure.

“Ugh~”

Locke glared at Sera with a savage gaze.

“I’m seething with anger towards your sect right now, but for Mormodius’s sake, I’ll spare your life. Don’t try to outsmart me, you stray dog. You’re nothing but a walking corpse, a dead man. If you dare provoke me again, I’ll kill you.”

Locke unleashed the Infinite Evil Path, now possessing formidable hand-to-hand combat abilities. His ferocity was on full display, and the wizard Sera’s pupils constricted sharply. In that instant, he felt an unprecedented, profound fear.

Locke threw Sera out.

At this moment, in the minds of all the wizard contestants, their perception of Locke’s danger had risen significantly.

Locke then turned around. “I almost forgot, I once created my ideal world in Despair Valley. That barrier became a domain, preventing wizards above the Moon Ring level from entering the Rain Swamp. But your Doomsday Gate can also be considered part of the outside world, right?”

A barrier appeared before the Doomsday Gate.

Immediately afterward, as the barrier rapidly expanded, all beings in the Abyss Legion reaching the Moon Ring level were instantly repelled back into the Abyss upon touching the barrier’s power. Meanwhile, the even more powerful ancient demons behind the Gate of Doom clung to the frame, unable to advance an inch.

An ancient crab appeared behind the Gate of Doom.

Behind Locke, the phantom of an Abyss Dragon appeared, and the two stared at each other.

Locke, by invoking the planes of the Abyss, learned the other’s identity: the Ancient Crab Demon [Alina Crab Demon Clan].

A demon clan exiled to the depths of the Abyss by a group of younger demons in ancient times, this Alina Demon seemed to want to reclaim everything his clan had lost by invading the Wizarding World.

The Alina Crab Demon Clan originated in an era when [exoskeletal animals] were the dominant life form in the endless void.

These demons all possess incredibly hard crab shells and claws capable of cutting through anything. They have terrifying defensive capabilities and generally the ability to pollute water sources; wherever they go, the water turns black and foul. Of course, their movement is almost identical to that of crabs.

At this moment, the Crab Demon King [Alina] behind the Gate of Doomsday stares at Locke.

“So it’s the Child of Chaos.”

“Another newly born demon. The demons of the Abyss are changing too quickly; I can hardly recognize your demonic features anymore. Does this mean that the demons of the Abyss no longer need any demonic energy to call themselves demons?”

Locke confronts Alina, unmoved, even though the other party is likely a third-ring level being, or even a throne level being.

But with the barrier empowered by the Abyss Queen, the other party won’t be able to pass unless he kills him.

Demon King Alina gives the order to kill Locke with all her might and seize control of the Bitterwood.

Locke said to Karl and Chaos, “Gentlemen, the current situation has both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that because of my barrier, neither our Moon Ring Wizards nor their Moon Ring Demons can cross over.”

“The advantage is that we are the most powerful Star Ring Wizards in the Eastern Region.”

“Therefore, we only need to destroy the Doomsday Gate to resolve this event that would otherwise have required the deaths of many wizards. Gentlemen, since the Star Sea and the March Council have already made arrangements, let’s work together to resolve this Doomsday Gate. This is also our duty as wizards. Karl, how exactly did the March Council and the Star Sea’s competition committee arrange our ranking order for the second round of the competition?”

Chaos asked. “It seems they’ve cast a special prophetic magic on us.”

“This magic can count the number of demons we kill. We’re ranked according to the number of demons killed, and then grouped according to the ranking. The top-ranked wizards will be placed into four groups, avoiding early matchups. The bottom four will also be distributed among the four groups.”

Locke instantly understood this point-based grouping method.

Wizard Karl looked at Locke and said, “Locke, I knew you were my only opponent in this competition.”

“Chaos may have great potential, but he still needs to grow. Only you are my true opponent. Although when I first met you, your magic pressure wasn’t even 25,000.”

Everyone looked at Wizard Karl in surprise, then at Wizard Locke.

Locke smiled. “You knew all along.”

Wizard Karl crossed his arms and said, “I’m not so blind. Ramses told me about your strength, and I was skeptical at the time. After interacting with you, my doubts only grew. I investigated what happened that day, and I believe that that high-level spiritual energy was more like something a high-level wizard bestowed upon you from the outside.”

“But seeing you today, I realize I underestimated Ramses.”

Ramses, amidst the crowd, wiped his nose.

The wizard Karl said, “Others only saw your surface, but only the wizard Ramses saw your true power. And now your strength truly proves the correctness of his judgment.”

At this moment, the other wizards looked at the wizard Ramses with suspicion and apprehension.

Ramses proudly puffed out his chest, quite pleased with himself.

Locke said to Wizard Karl, “We need to deal with this Doomsday Gate. I believe its biggest weakness lies with the Witch Rose. If the Doomsday Gate only requires three Star Ring-level beings as sacrifices, then the Witch Rose could be considered as having two: the Witch Rose herself and the Goddess Rose.” “

The Goddess Rose’s divine essence and total magical pressure are far greater than the Witch Rose’s, but she simply can’t unleash her power. Therefore, the Doomsday Gate likely prioritizes sacrificing the Goddess Rose, not the Witch Rose. If we can pull the Witch Rose out, we might be able to destabilize the Doomsday Gate. Because the true sacrifice condition for the Doomsday Gate is—”

Wizard Karl began, “three Star Ring Great Magic. I’ve read that article, so if we can extract the Witch Rose from inside the Doomsday Gate, then the Doomsday Gate will collapse on its own.”

Edgar said anxiously, “Then let’s hurry! Those demons are charging in!”

His Mountain and Forest Spell had been broken.

Countless Crab Demons attacked from afar.

Sera the Wizard rose from the ground, feeling utterly humiliated. He glared angrily at Locke, his eyes filled with fear, unease, and extreme resentment. The hatred for the White Frost Witch, the animosity between his sect and Golden Crown Mountain, all erupted at the moment Locke had humiliated him, along with a tremendous desire for Locke’s form. Now, suppressing his greed, he looked at Locke with apprehension. “

Locke is too strong. In a direct confrontation, I might die instantly at his hands. Only in the debate might I be able to win through a necromancy ritual and obtain his form. His power is so great, I estimate I can’t absorb all of it, unlike Georgina the Witch, heh, but even a portion will be enough.”

Sera the Wizard greedily licked his lips.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Benjamin the Wizard raise his hand, making a gun-like gesture. “Gentlemen, you want to stop the Gate of Doom? That won’t work.”

He pointed the gun at Locke’s back.

The next moment, his finger twitched, but nothing happened.

Benjamin looked at his finger in surprise, then he chanted the incantation for the Blazing Flame Spell, trying to strengthen his magic. He fired at Locke again, but this time it had no effect.

Benjamin saw Karl turn around.

Karl said, “The Invisible Flame is a special magical flame optimized through numerous spell models, specifically designed to burn the composite particles that make up the body. It ranks 231st on the overall fire list. It’s an extremely powerful magical flame. The fact that you, as a Moon Ring Wizard, can use it shows you’ve put effort into the Evocation school.” “

But you don’t need to show off such petty tricks in front of me.”

17.

Benjamin the Wizard saw Wizard Karl walking towards him.

But upon closer inspection, Wizard Karl was clearly still standing in the same spot!

Benjamin the Wizard seemed to see before him a highly advanced fire civilization, a civilization whose entire world was ablaze with flames. This civilization was incredibly brilliant, producing many magnificent achievements that even he, a Grand Wizard of the Moon Ring of the Evocation School, could not fully comprehend.

The next moment, the phantoms of every individual within this civilization began to dissipate, and finally, Wizard Karl appeared before him.

An invisible flame appeared in Wizard Karl’s hand. “I also know the spell model for the Invisible Cursed Fire. Perfect, I can create it too.”

Benjamin the Wizard’s two shoulders instantly disintegrated, and in the instant of disintegration, invisible sparks appeared.

“Who exactly are you?”

asked the wizard Benjamin. “I don’t recall ever hearing of you among the younger generation.”

Wizard Karl replied, “I come from the Black Earth, a forgotten wizarding land. I’ve seen plenty of people like you. You underestimate ordinary wizarding lands, thinking they have no talent.”

Three flames appeared in his hand again: an invisible cursed fire, a thunderous divine fire, and a ghostly sea fire. Under his incantation, the three flames slowly merged.

A flame with three layers of different colored crowns appeared in his palm.

Wizard Karl smiled, “This is a spell model I developed myself, called Samadhi Demonic Fire.”

“Please, have a taste.”

Before Benjamin could escape, the Samadhi Demonic Fire engulfed his entire body. In just a moment, his Great Magic and Permanent Defensive Field were completely engulfed in flames, and he vanished without a trace.

Locke and the other wizards all looked at Wizard Karl warily, silently assessing the strength of his spell.

Locke and Edgar exchanged a glance. They both noticed that Wizard Karl had just unleashed a Moon Ring-level magical pressure.

They just didn’t know his background or

what methods he used .

Locke pondered, “Professor Ekaterina is right. This competition along the Tianjiang River may seem like a Star Ring-level competition, but if it’s truly a Star Ring-level competition, then participating in it will inevitably lead to defeat, because it’s essentially a Moon Ring-level competition where the weak are used to deceive the strong

.” Wizard Karl laughed, “He truly is a Moon Ring Grand Wizard. Although I destroyed his physical body, his extremely powerful magic at the ‘False Forging’ level is incredibly difficult to destroy. He still managed to escape. Truly impressive. Monster-like strength indeed.”

Benjamin’s wizarding voice lingered in the air. “Karl of the Black Earth, I will avenge the destruction of my body you committed today. This is the oath of the Musketeer Wizard!”

Wizard Karl sneered, completely unconcerned. Instead, he unleashed a ball of Samadhi Demonic Fire upon the Abyss Demons. The fire possessed a powerful corrosive ability, quickly forming a massive conflagration. Wizard Karl seemed to be able to extract magical energy from the Samadhi Demonic Fire.

At this moment, all the wizards attacked the Abyss Demon army. Locke, wielding the great demon sword Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow in his left hand and the White Tiger Sea Gold Sand in his right, fought his way through the fray.

Locke glanced at Wizard Karl’s methods. “This guy must also be a potion master. His Samadhi Demonic Fire is refining various magical materials from the demons. I can see potion-making techniques in his methods.”

At this moment, Locke, Wizard Karl, Edgar, and Chaos were among the top kills.

First place belonged to Wizard Karl; the spread of his Samadhi Demonic Fire was incredibly fast, refining countless demons within its flames.

Second was himself, third was Edgar, and fourth was Chaos.

Chaos seemed to be a wizard of the Mind School; his magic bordered on superpowers. Wherever his finger pointed, a black hole-like area would appear, sucking in magical creatures. This typical Mind School magic ability made his battlefield kills extremely swift.

The other wizard contestants also cast their own special spells.

Locke noticed many wizards; each of them possessed an overall skill level no lower than Ramses, which meant no lower than the average level of the final round participants in the Probus Truth Unveiling Competition he was hosting. Each one could be described as unfathomable.

These people each had their own unique magic.

Not to mention, this was only their combat level, not their academic level.

They were all formidable opponents.

It’s worth mentioning that Locke noticed that Sera currently had the lowest kill count.

Locke pondered for a moment and understood the key to the problem.

The points ranking affected the grouping for the second round of the Tianjiang Coastal Competition, and the academic defense in the second round was in groups of three. I’m currently second in points, so if he stays second to last, we’ll definitely be grouped together. And since Rose the Witch can’t participate in the points rankings, if he maintains his current position, he’ll be second to last. “

Is this guy really hoping to be grouped with me in the second round?”

Locke, wielding two types of jungle swords, unleashed a single strike, slicing through countless crab demons. Simultaneously, the White Tiger Sea Sands traced a massive arc across the sky, slaying a minor crab demon leader at the Star Ring Limit.

Locke plucked the Tree of Prosperity from his collar and swung it forward. The White Tiger Sea Sands split into three, then, like three flying swords, pierced the battlefield, passing through three crab demons at the Star Ring Limit, pinning them to the bronze threshold of the Doomsday Gate.

Chaos glanced at Locke. “I need to help you; only then can I fulfill Teacher Link’s request.”

He closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and continuously sensed the black hole’s primal force in the void. The next moment, a massive black hole unfolded, and a large number of demons fell into it.

In an instant, Chaos’s kill count reached first place, while Locke ranked third.

In that instant, Wizard Sera gritted his teeth, then chanted a spell, summoning a gigantic undead creature combining the characteristics of various undead prosthetics. This undead arm swept downwards, instantly draining the life force of countless demons, reducing them to bones.

Wizard Sera mentally calculated, “This should put me third to last.”

“The hatred of my sect, the hatred of my senior sister, and the power of Locke Augustine—I must be in the same group as Locke in the second round. I must obtain his power at the defense.”

Just then, Ramses used a summoning spell, summoning a vast dragon army from the distant Dragon World.

Other wizards chanted spells that caused an earthquake throughout the world; illusionists used magic that created realistic illusions; and powerful wizards used immense magic to petrify large numbers of demons, then enchanted them, turning them into golems.

The witch wielding an enchanted pen hailed from the Deer Ridge of the Mountains and Rivers. She was a new addition to the wizarding community along the Tianjiang River, having eliminated the original participants.

Turning to Locke and Karl, she said,

“I’ve heard that our renowned swordsmith wizard from our wizarding lands lost to the great demon sword, Tiger Orchid Dragon Sparrow, bred by Locke Augustine, on his journey to the Rain Swamp. I wonder if my enchanting magic will catch Locke Augustine’s eye?”

She waved her enchanted pen, and a group of ancient petrified demons, under her command, attacked the Gate of Doom.

Simultaneously, Edgar used the Forest Mountain Sea Spell again, summoning a massive legion of treants. Clearly, he also needed mana. Locke flew atop Edgar’s treant army, glanced at Edgar, and then waved the Tree of Prosperity.

Edgar: “Cooperate?”

Locke nodded.

This time, he wanted to secure first place.

He wouldn’t lose face, even if he lost; since the rankings were based on kills, he naturally wanted to be number one and overpower everyone else!

Locke raised the Tree of Prosperity in his hand. “Edgar, unleash our two Great Magic Ecosystems!”

The Tree of Prosperity wand in Locke’s hand released golden light, like a sun soaring into the sky. In an instant, their Great Magic Ecosystems merged, and the number of Treants under the Tree of All Things system increased from one to eight. The massive second-ring Treant army even pushed back towards the Gate of Doom.

The ancient Crab Demon King inside the Gate of Doom roared in unwilling anger.

With the swing of the Tree of Prosperity wand, which was as bright as the sun, demons were sent flying towards the Gate of Doom. The Demon King Alina was extremely incredulous behind the Gate of Doom. As an ancient demon king who had never fought in the wizarding world and was exiled to the deepest part of the abyss, he could not believe that they had opened the Gate of Doom and rushed out with great momentum, only to have his army collapse in a very short time.

A crab demon was struck in the Demon King’s crab eye, and the Demon King used his crab claws to knock the demon off.

Then, he saw Locke plunge a wizard’s sword into the Doomsday Gate and attack it with a five-headed rose. Five special spiritual energies engulfed the Doomsday Gate, and Locke then used the Tree of Prosperity Wand to strike it down, delivering the final blow.

“Witch Rose, follow my magical pressure and leave the Doomsday Gate.” A

golden sun enveloped the Doomsday Gate.

A witch Rose’s hand emerged from the Doomsday Gate.

The golden sunlight penetrated the Doomsday Gate, causing cracks to appear everywhere. The sunlight refracted from the Doomsday Gate into the sky above Bitterwood, causing the divinely created spell array in the sky above Bitterwood to tremble continuously. Wizard

Sera calculated the number of demons Locke had killed in this wave, and he immediately realized that Locke was now in first place, Edgar was in third,

and he was now third from last.

According to the points-based grouping system, he would have to be ranked last to be a match for Locke.

However, because of the Witch Rose, he couldn’t possibly be last.

Wait a minute.

In his anxiety, Sera came up with a plan. He chanted a spell, forcibly resurrecting the undead creatures from the Abyss Legion one by one. This way, while others were killing demons, he was resurrecting them, contributing nothing but negativity.

The Witch Rose at most failed to kill one demon

, but he directly resurrected a whole bunch.

Meanwhile, Wizard Karl stopped his killing spree. He hadn’t been interested in ranking; he’d only killed a few demons casually.

Anyway, it was extremely unlikely he’d encounter Locke in the second round, and for him, the second round was as easy as drinking water or eating—he could easily pass it.

The wizard Karl pondered, “Anyway, the only opponents I truly need to take seriously, besides Locke, are Chaos.”

“Edgar and Ramses are a bit lacking, and while the others are formidable, I don’t know their academic level. Appian’s academic level, however, is certainly not a concern.”

Meanwhile, seeing the Doomsday Gate shatter and Rose the witch almost emerging from it, Chaos ceased his attack.

Inside the Doomsday Gate, the demon king Arina’s crab claws gripped the frame.

“No, we abyssal demons have never left someone else’s world after entering it. No!”

The next moment, the Doomsday Gate shattered.

He and his demon race were sucked in, forced back to the depths of the abyss.

Above Despair Valley, the witch Catherine saw golden light erupting from the Bitterwood Tree. Although the competition screen was destroyed, preventing her from seeing the interior, she felt the immense magical pressure surge from the shattering of the Doomsday Gate. Simultaneously, a massive magical wind descended upon Despair Valley due to the gate’s collapse, whipping up dust and stones. The surrounding wizards shielded their eyes with their hands.

Catherine looked at Jinx with a mocking expression. “Is this what you meant by my student being in danger?”

“Is this the Doomsday Gate you relied on to threaten me?”

“Why did the gate shatter?”

Jinx swallowed hard, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The Maupassant Elder, standing nearby, also had an incredulous look in his eyes. “The Gate of Doom shattered? How did this happen? Impossible! How could a few Star Ring and Moon Ring wizards possibly destroy the Gate of Doom? Logically, even a Throne-level wizard facing the Gate of Doom directly would have a question of whether they could destroy it. How did he do it?”

The next moment, the Elder’s abdomen was pierced by the wizarding swords of three Maupassant summoners.

The Elder looked back at the three behind him in horror.

At this moment, all the wizards present fell silent in astonishment at this scene.

The Red Dragon Witch, Catherine, looked at the ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex King and said, “Just a manipulated puppet.

If I wanted to destroy it—”

“Elder, a leader possesses three kinds of power that command the respect of his subordinates. First, the power of his position; second, the power of his magic; and third, the power of his wisdom. But you possess neither wisdom nor outstanding power, and your position is merely that of the head elder.” “

I don’t think the Maupassant family will listen to you. If you had any self-awareness, you should have realized this sooner.”

“Your family is not of one mind with you; they don’t want to resurrect any ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex King. Elder, you are blocking your family’s path.”

The three third-ring wizards then looked at the Red Dragon Witch and said, “Lady Catherine, our Maupassant family has never participated in this operation. Let’s proceed according to the agreement we previously reached.”
