Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 105 Witchcraft: Plant Frenzy!
After Ronan finished asking his question, Parna's hands and feet were completely withered and black.

His entire face was covered in tears and snot, and sweat.

From Parna, Ronan learned that withering magic counters wood magic.

Wanting to see how well the withering magic controlled his own magic, he cast a healing spell on Parna, tending to the withered black hands and feet.

The ancient tree's life-giving power transformed into healing magic, enveloping Parna's arms and legs.

The withered blackness on his hands and feet gradually dissipated.

The wrinkled skin gradually regained its elasticity.

'It seems the damage caused by this withering spell can be reversed by my healing spells, and quite quickly at that.'

Ronan thought that although withering magic counters wood magic, if wood magic is powerful enough, withering magic will be difficult to suppress.

'All forms of witchcraft are mutually restraining; there is no perfect witchcraft. If it is powerful enough, it cannot restrain anything.'

Ronan thought to himself.

After healing Parna's arms and legs to about 80%, he left them to heal on their own.

Then, after leaving the basement, a thought struck him, and he was transported back to the wizarding world.

……

The next day, Ronan went to Awen's bungalow early in the morning to find Awen to continue studying wood-based witchcraft.

Yesterday, he was supposed to have Awen teach him wood-based witchcraft, but he was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Withered Druid.

When they arrived at Awen's bungalow, they found that Awen, who was supposed to sleep in late, had already left early.

After meeting Ronan, Awen asked him to go with her to the Forest of Gurt to continue healing the trees damaged by Parna's Withering Light.

"Yesterday, that withered druid was constantly destroying nature before my eyes, causing my Heart of Nature to weaken."

Awen cast a "fast walking" spell on herself and Ronan, saying as they walked.

"Yes, me too."

Ronan listened and said.

In fact, his increase in the Heart of Nature did not diminish yesterday.

He felt that this was because he was a spirit of green wood, and was nature itself.

The heart of nature will never betray Him, no matter what.

Furthermore, as his natal tree of immortality ages, his green wood spirit body is transitioning into an yi wood dharma body.

The boost from the Heart of Nature to him was getting greater and greater.

With the boost of "fast walking", Awen and Ronan ran very fast.

After entering the Forest of Gurt, thanks to the blessing of the Heart of Nature, Awen's "Quick Walk" spell became even more powerful.

The two ran like the wind through the woods.

Before long, the two arrived at the site of Awen's battle with Parna the day before.

Most of the trees in this grove are withered and black.

“Yesterday, I treated these trees and saved most of them, preventing them from dying completely. My heart for nature has also recovered a lot.”

As Awen spoke, she began to cast a healing spell on the trees.

Ronan observed that Awen's healing skills were only at the peak of the proficiency level, not yet approaching the master level.

If he used his full power, the healing effect would be even better than Awen's. He thought to himself, controlling his magic output as he cast a master-level healing spell.

Moreover, the magical fluctuations were controlled to resemble those of a first-level wizard apprentice.

Awen nodded when she saw Ronan's healing spell: "Your healing spell is also very well mastered. I didn't expect that although your wizarding aptitude is a bit lacking, you have a good talent for learning witchcraft."

"I heard from my elders that as wizards progress in their training, their aptitude becomes less important, while their learning talent is the most crucial factor."

"However, the Kingdom of Valant only trains war machines; they place great importance on wizarding aptitude."

"When I was still in the South, I heard that the high-level formal wizards in various fields of the Kingdom Wizard Academy had already planned out the paths for their apprentices in the academy."

"These apprentices with good wizarding aptitude can quickly advance to become full-fledged wizards as long as they follow the path of training, thus becoming a useful fighting force for the Kingdom of Valant."

"Only a very small number of wizarding apprentices with exceptional talent for learning will be discovered by high-ranking formal wizards at the Kingdom's Wizarding Academy, and then reported to the royal family for further training."

“The high-ranking, officially certified wizards in all fields of the Kingdom's Wizarding Academy were originally wizarding apprentices.”

……

Ronan stayed with Awen for three days to treat the trees, and finally managed to heal all the trees in the forest that had not died.

During this time, Awen also talked to Ronan about a lot of knowledge about wood-based witchcraft.

For example, Ronan knew that, according to the Druid school's classification of wood magic, it was mainly divided into growth and withering, which corresponded to the two stages of plant growth.

Traditional druids, and indeed most druids, only practice wood-based magic that focuses on growth.

Techniques like Entangling, Wood Armor, and Healing all belong to the category of wood-based sorcery related to growth.

They only practice wood-based witchcraft related to growth, because the traditional beliefs passed down from the Druids make them feel that destroying nature is a sinful act.

Practicing withering magic is an extremely serious sin.

Therefore, the withered druid was unacceptable to the druidic school.

Moreover, the Withered Druid exists in a gray area between the White Wizard and the Black Wizard.

After all, witchcraft like the Energy-Absorbing Vine can not only absorb the life force of trees, but also the life force of living people.

If a withering wizard absorbs the life force of the living to restore himself, then he is a dark wizard.

“After learning the Withering Spell, the Heart of Nature will immediately disappear,” Awen said.

"If a Druid cannot receive blessings in the forest, it means he lacks a natural heart. Such a Druid may have practiced withering magic, or may be transforming into a withering Druid."

Ronan, however, believed that withering and death are also a natural phenomenon.

He felt that he was a green wood spirit, equivalent to a tree, and that his natural instincts had not diminished after learning the withering witchcraft, which was for this reason.

After the two healed the tree, Awen saw that Ronan had mastered the three major combat spells quite well, so she wanted to teach Ronan another spell.

"This spell is the most difficult first-tier wood-based combat spell to master in the Druid school; it's called 'Plant Carnival'," Awen said.

"Once you master it, the nearby magical plants can become your fighting aids, essentially creating a clone of you. You can use these magical plants to unleash the witchcraft you know."

As she spoke, Awen cast the "Quick Walk" spell on herself and Ronan, leading Ronan deeper into the forest, where they found a jungle of magical plants.

These magical plants, known as "Blackwater Trees," have dark brown trunks and can be used to make amplifying wands for water-based magic.

As Awen chanted the incantation, the magical plants in this magical plant forest seemed to suddenly come to life.

One after another, the black water trees pressed down on Awen and Ronan.

Several branches of the blackwater tree grew wildly, and the tips of the branches suddenly became as sharp as spears.
