Chapter 237 The Eye of Perseus’s Counterattack

“Be careful~” Albert shouted.

The next moment, the first-ring-level cursed creature jumped onto the wall above Locke’s head, and the flesh on its right hand deformed into a sickle glowing with black light, intending to chop at the big blue owl Basho behind Locke.

Below the three people was a river of strong acid. Once they were knocked down, they would fall directly into the strong acid.

Albert used the 0.9-ring [Blade Bamboo Sword Dance] to forcibly cut the terrifying monster in half vertically, and then cut it horizontally, dividing it into four equal pieces.

The instantaneous speed of the Blade Bamboo Sword Dance attack is extremely fast. At the moment of swinging, it exceeds the attack speed and movement speed of this transformed zombie.

But after the monster was chopped into four pieces, not only did it not show any signs of death, but it used the remaining upper half of its body and one hand to transform into a flesh and blood sickle glowing with black light, and was about to chop at Locke and Albert.

“Wizard…death…”

At this critical moment, Albert shouted: “Locke, get out of the way!”

Sisyphus shouted, “Throw me out and distract him, Locke!”

Locke frowned. Most people would probably make a lot of trouble in such a panic.

But at this moment, not only was he not panicked at all, but he became even calmer, his mind was calm and not affected by any emotion at all.

His pupils slightly turned into golden vertical pupils.

“If I leave them behind, I can’t escape. This ghoul’s vitality and physical functions have been greatly enhanced by the curse. And it is full of hatred for all wizards. It is not hunting us, but hunting any wizard.” Locke thought quickly, “Wait a minute, no matter how it is strengthened, its foundation is curse magic.”

“The Curse Erosion is merely a carrier container; the high-level geometric curse pattern inside the container is what truly works.”

Locke immediately summoned the Eye of Perseus Lichen Shield from the Star Ring and used the 0.5 ring of [Moss Shield]. Suddenly, a green halo lingered on the surface of his Eye of Perseus Lichen Shield, forming circles of green haloes.

These green halos are the magical radiance emitted by the spell model of [Moss Shield]. Driven by this 0.5-ring spell, the Eye of Perseus shield stands between the monster and Locke and others.

“Bang~”

“Clang~”

The monster’s flesh and blood sickle rubbed against the surface of Perseus’s Lichen Eye shield, producing magical sparks and leaving two huge grooves on it.

However, the attack on the Eye of Perseus by the flesh sickle transformed from the Curse Erosion quickly lit up the eye pattern inside the Eye of Perseus, emitting a crystal green light wave.

Magic rebound!

“Bang~”

In just a moment, the monster let out an unprecedented scream. “Wizard…hateful wizard…”

“I hate you, I resent you…”

“One day, I will kill all of you…”

Under the magical rebound of the Lichen Shield of the Eye of Perseus, the body of the ghoul transformed by the Erosion began to collapse, and the flesh and blood decomposed bit by bit, revealing a large amount of black mycelium of the Erosion inside its body.

Under the magic rebound of the Eye of Perseus’ lichen shield, this guy’s body seemed unable to hold on any longer, and the mycelium of the curse-eating insect barely adhered to his remaining body cells, combining them all together.

Under this strange situation, this guy’s body actually swelled up and turned into a ball of flesh covered with fleshy tentacles.

The flesh tentacles surrounding the meatball waved like flagella and continued to chase Locke and the others, but this time their speed was much slower and they could not keep up with the plant mimicry technique used by Locke: the raptor transformation.

Locke even had time to pause and glance back at the monster. “The Eye of Perseus lichen still has enough power to counterattack against this kind of monster.”

“After all, the Eye of Perseus lichen, through the magical plant curse, has previously gained broad resistance to common curses of the Blood Curse Tribunal and the corresponding magical counterattack ability.”

“That monster seems to have been blown up by my Eye of Perseus lichen. It’s collapsed and is now completely out of control. As a result, its movement speed has slowed down considerably, and it can’t catch up to me at all.”

Locke frowned as he looked at the body behind him. Even though it had turned into a ball of flesh and blood, it was still waving its whip-like flesh tentacles, trying to keep up with his own Curse-Erosion transformed body.

These cursed creatures created by high-level curse masters are simply too disgusting.

If they really use the curse to research some weird stuff, then the battlefield will be full of these weird things.

Fortunately, the Eye of Perseus lichen that he had cultivated before performed very well and was able to perfectly rebound the curse energy from the monster.

No matter how things change, the essence remains the same. No matter how you change the curse spell, or what the carrier of the curse energy is, it is all curse magic anyway, and the Eye of Perseus lichen can bounce it back!

Locke checked his Eye of Perseus lichen and found that it was in a half-destroyed state and could probably only be used once more.

We still need to develop the matching spell for the Eye of Perseus lichen as soon as possible.

Even based on this, one could develop a basic spell model framework that could be continuously iterated, in preparation for the defensive magic plants of the Eye of Perseus lichen series after one becomes a first-ring wizard in the future.

Albert and Sisyphus breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were out of danger.

“Finally got rid of that damn thing.” Albert raised his eyebrows as he looked at the Eye of Perseus lichen hovering around Locke, swirling in mid-air around him. “Junior Locke, where did you get this rare defensive magic plant? It’s so effective against curse magic that it can even deflect a failed creation by a first-level advanced curse caster.”

“I’ve never seen such a powerful defensive magic plant before.”

“You have so many rare magical plants on you. You must be very wealthy.”

Sisyphus also rarely interrupted and said, “That’s right, Mr. Locke.”

“I’ve never seen this kind of defensive magical plant before. Could it be an unknown wild magical plant you discovered somewhere? No, that’s not right. It has obvious signs of magical modification. It doesn’t look wild, but more like… it was created in a laboratory.”

Locke glanced at the two of them in surprise, and said with a bit of surprise: “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 kind of magical plant!”

“I’ll also be selling it in the Li Jin Secret Language shop. If you want it, you can buy it. By the way, this is my entry for the Custom Magic Plant Competition. If you place in the top three and get the academy’s centralized procurement order, you won’t have to buy it. You can directly obtain this magic plant by performing military exploits on the front lines.”

Locke looked at the two of them with a strange expression. “Why? Do you think this is a rare magical plant?”

“Can this 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 and geniuses like you have nothing in common.”

Albert said, “Brother Locke, you are joking.”

Locke pondered. “It seems the rarity of magical plants is relative. This magical plant is currently not for sale to wizards other than me…”

Locke suddenly turned serious and said to the two of them, “You two, I think you all know some defensive plant magic. Any plant spells that can control fungi, mosses, and lichens will be enough.”

“I’ll give you two Perseus Eye lichen shields.”

Locke said, “Don’t refuse yet. This is part of the deal. After you two leave, you can endorse my Eye of Perseus Lichen Shield.”

Albert responded very quickly. “Of course.”

“I see. It’s for the competition, so you need an endorsement, right?”

Obviously, Albert, who also frequently participated in competitions, immediately understood what Locke needed and what situation he was in.
