Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 205 Mechanical Spirit
"I'm really not suited for fighting."

Ronan still refused the wizard from the mechanical spirit.

Edmund sneered upon hearing this, "Dorifa, your people blocked my way, but I did not take action. This shows my sincerity. You are just giving me the runaround."

"Let me put it this way: if you don't go, mechanical spirits will definitely come to this continent and plunder all your resources!"

As soon as he finished speaking, steam suddenly billowed from beneath Edmund's wizard robes.

Then, he flew out to sea at an extremely fast speed.

Ronan listened to Edmund's words, his face expressionless, but a murderous intent lurked within him.

He flicked his finger.

A bolt of divine lightning, resembling a giant dragon, shot out into the sky!

"you!"

Edmund's mechanical spirit body is a wizarding school that integrates witchcraft, body refinement, and mechanical body modification.

His head had also been modified.

Mechanical compound eyes are installed on the scalp at the back of the head, allowing the person to see in all directions behind them.

He was furious when Ronan suddenly attacked him from behind.

boom!
Ronan's Wood Divine Thunder shattered Edmund's protective force field.

Following that, in addition to Edmund's protective power, his wizard robes also had protective magical arrays.

With another crack, the Wood Divine Lightning shattered the magic array as well.

Then, the divine lightning of the Wood element struck Edmund squarely.

Edmund's wizard robes were completely shattered, revealing his peculiar body, which was half flesh and half machine.

The divine lightning of the Wood element blasted Edmund's body into a charred black. Strands of lightning, like small snakes, crawled across Edmund's mechanical body, and a hissing sound came from within the machine.

'A combination of machine and flesh? That'll be interesting!'

Ronan could still sense a faint presence emanating from Edmund's body, so he reached out and grabbed at the air.

Edmund, who was falling downwards, was caught by him.

He planned to take him back to study how the machine merged with the flesh.

Perhaps he can use this to reform the knights within the kingdom.

While training wizards, Lyon also began training the kingdom's knights.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to this.

However, at this moment, he thought that after these knights were trained and modified by him, they could also become a decent fighting force.

Carrying Edmund, Ronan flew back to land.

On land, wizards from local wizard councils, wizard families, and wizard organizations stared in disbelief at everything that was happening.

They didn't expect that Ronan would kill this legendary wizard from Wizarding Isles with just one strike.

Ronan looked down at the crowd and said, "Don't tell anyone else that I killed this wizard. If word gets out, you will all die."

Upon hearing Dolifa's command, the other wizards immediately nodded.

After Ronan brought Edmund's body back to the Wizard's Tower, he placed him on a confinement device.

This device is an iron plate engraved with intricate magical formations. By inputting magical power into it, a force can be generated to control the wizard on it.

Ronan imprisoned it, intending to study it later.

He had to impersonate Edmund and travel to the Wizarding Isles to spread the message.

What he wanted to spread was the news that "Dolifa" was not very strong.

Let those wizarding organizations on Wizards' Islands stop thinking about him.

However, it cannot be said that there isn't a single capable person on this continent.

'If that's the case, then it's possible that some wizarding organizations will launch an attack.'

"I've got it."

Ronan came up with a solution.

With this in mind, Ronan first woke Edmund.

They used cruel witchcraft to force Edmund to reveal the location of the Wizarding Isles.

He deliberately pressed Edmund several times, demanding to know if Edmund had set a trap for him with his words.

To avoid Edmund telling him about a dangerous location.

After several rounds of questioning, it turned out that Edmund had indeed set a trap for him.

The first route Edmund mentioned would lead to three extremely powerful groups of sea monsters.

Even legendary wizards would find it difficult to escape once trapped in this horde of sea monsters.

The second route, as mentioned, leads to a wizard's ruins.

This wizarding ruin is coveted by several powerful wizarding schools.

If he gets too close, the wizarding schools that covet this ruin will attack him.

After asking several times, Ronan finally found a safe way back to the Mechanical Heart.

He then drank the transformation potion and transformed into Edmund's appearance.

However, Edmund's mechanical and fleshy body cannot be created using a transformation potion.

Fortunately, Edmund's face was not fitted with mechanical parts.

So, after Ronan changed his appearance, he immediately put on a black wizard's robe to cover his body.

Once everything was in place, Ronan used the Wood Immortal Escape Technique to head towards the Wizarding Islands location Edmund had mentioned.

……

A streak of dark green light sped across the sea.

This is Ronan.

Edmund's final route for him was circuitous, but safe enough.

At sea, in addition to encountering hordes of monsters and wizard ruins, you will also encounter severe weather.

This route will only encounter thunderstorms.

This thunderstorm poses a threat to the true-knowledge wizard.

However, those above the rank of Grand Wizard are immune to the effects of this thunderstorm.

Soon, he arrived at a sea area that Edmund called the "Devil's Sea".

Why is it that wizards from other continents have difficulty finding the Wizarding Islands?

That is the Wizarding Islands, surrounded by the "Devil's Sea".

This sea area has a peculiar and strange magnetic field.

People who enter it will lose some of their sense of direction.

This makes it very easy to get lost at sea.

Ronan possessed extremely strong mental power. After flying into the sea, he sensed a magnetic force attempting to influence his mind, but to no avail.

He followed Edmund's instructions and flew toward the island where the mechanical spirits resided.

……

After flying for quite a while, Ronan finally spotted an island.

This island is barren, with a mechanical-looking base on it.

Several wizards stood guard beside the base.

The wizard's face was inlaid with iron devices.

Some wizards have mechanical eyes that flash red light from time to time.

"Lord Edmund is back!"

Upon seeing Ronan, the wizards immediately spoke.

At this moment, Ronan had completely concealed his aura.

Although the wizards sensed that Edmund's energy fluctuations had disappeared, they wondered if this was perhaps a new invention of Lord Edmund.

Therefore, there was not much doubt.

Soon after Ronan landed, the base opened, revealing an iron gate.

Ronan then went inside.

He also learned about the personnel configuration of the base from Edmund.

He released his divine sense, taking in everything in the base. Based on the magnitude of the energy fluctuations, he quickly matched the names of the great wizards with those mentioned by Edmund.

He first walked toward Edmund's meditation room.

As he was walking through the iron passageway, a great wizard approached him.

"Lord Edmund, what was the result? Did that legendary wizard from the continent agree to come?"

Ronan, disguised as Edmund, shook his head upon hearing this:

"Don't say anything more. That legendary wizard from the continent is a white wizard, and his combat power is very weak."

"I beat him half to death and then came back."

The great wizard, whose right eye was a gear, said upon hearing this:

"So, the Death of the Fire Dragon has arrived, what should we do?"

Ronan learned from Edmund that the Dragon's Lament was a wizarding organization that fought against mechanical spirits.

It is a wizarding organization composed of body-refining wizards.

Because they coveted the resources of mechanical spirits, and because of the technology by which mechanical spirits fused with physical bodies using inanimate objects like machines, they planned to attack them.

Ronan said, "Don't worry, I've developed some new witchcraft that makes me unafraid of the Fire Dragon's calamity even without external forces."

The great wizard was immediately relieved.

Then, as if remembering something, he said again:

"Then, Lord Edmund, since you say that the legendary wizards on that continent are weak in combat, why don't we attack that continent and make it a branch of our mechanical spirits?"

"If we get into danger on the Wizarding Isles, we can still go to that continent after we escape."

Ronan shook his head again: "No, that continent has a powerful force behind it."

The great wizard looked puzzled.

Ronan continued, "The power behind this continent is the Elf Kingdom."

The high wizard's face showed even greater confusion: "Hasn't the Elven race declined?"

Ronan shook his head: "Although it has declined, it still possesses mysterious elven magic."

"Otherwise, with the power of the white wizards on that continent, the families on that continent wouldn't have been able to control that continent for so long."

As he spoke, the great wizard nodded.

Edmund was, after all, his leader, so he naturally wouldn't doubt what "Edmund" said.

Because Edmund had no reason to lie about these things.

While the great wizard was still pondering, Ronan entered Edmund's meditation room.

He planned to stay here for a few more days, make contact with more wizards, and tell them the "true" situation of the Kingdom of Valant.

Then, these wizards were allowed to spread throughout the Wizarding Islands.

However, as soon as he sat down in Edmund's training room made of cold steel, he heard the alarm blaring from the base.

Although Edmund hadn't told him this, he knew that something was most likely going to happen at this base.

Soon, a wizard ran to the outside of the training room: "Lord Edmund, the wizard of the Dragon's Lament has arrived!"

Ronan never expected the tragedy of the fire dragon to come so quickly.

He thought that since the Fire Dragon's Lament could fight against the Mechanical Spirit, its strength structure was probably comparable to that of the Mechanical Spirit.

Edmund sought help, and it's possible that the Fire Dragon's Lament is slightly stronger than the Mechanical Spirit.

There must have been a legendary wizard.

If he leaves now, the mechanical spirit might be destroyed by the Fire Dragon's Lament.

The mechanical spirit wizard had not yet helped him spread the news of the Kingdom of Valant.

'Let's go out and take a look first.'

Ronan walked out of the training room, out of the base, and floated upwards into the air.

He immediately saw red dots flying towards him in the distance.

As they drew closer, they entered his perception range.

He immediately sensed that a legendary wizard, three great wizards, five true-knowledge wizards, and many wizards below the elite level had arrived.

It seems that the calamity of the fire dragon has come in full force.

"Ready to fight!"

He shouted in Edmund's voice.

Then, the iron plates of the base opened one by one, and wizards filed out from them.

With his strength, coupled with the mechanical spirit wizard, he has nothing to fear when facing the Fire Dragon's Lament.

Ronan waved his hand.

A bolt of divine lightning, made of wood, shot out into the sky like a giant dragon traversing the void, heading towards the wizard of the Fire Dragon's Lament.

Lightning is a form of magic that mechanical wizards can also use, so Ronan isn't afraid of being exposed when he uses the Wood Divine Lightning.

If he were to use the Taiyi Heavenly Wood Sword Formation or something similar, it would definitely make the mechanical spirit wizard feel unfamiliar.

The wizards of the Fire Dragon's Lament immediately conjured a protective shield to block Ronan's Wood Divine Lightning.

At this time, the other wizards of the mechanical spirit also arrived one after another.

Each used their sorcery to unleash lightning, flames, frost, and other magical forces, heading towards the demise of the fire dragon.

Fire Dragon's Lament, however, charged forward despite the protective shield.

boom!
Ronan unleashed another bolt of Wood Divine Lightning, shattering the protective shield.

The wizard of the Dragon's Lament wore a blood-red wizard's robe.

The leading wizard, the legendary wizard of the Fire Dragon's Lament, was over two meters tall.

He was bald, with bright red markings on his face.

Even though he was wearing a wizard's robe, you could still feel the strong physique hidden beneath it.

Edmund said that the Dragon's Lament was a body-refining wizard who used the blood of dragons to transform himself.

The modified body possesses extremely strong offensive power and magical defensive capabilities.

After the protective shield broke, the legendary wizard of the Fire Dragon's Lament pounced on Ronan.

He wanted to fight Ronan hand-to-hand.

Although mechanical wizards who modify their bodies with machinery also possess a certain level of melee combat ability.

But this legendary wizard clearly felt that his bloodline fusion was superior.

The legendary wizard threw a punch at Ronan.

Ronan immediately unleashed a bolt of Wood Divine Lightning.

The fist collided with the divine thunder of the Wood element.

Instantly, one of the legendary wizard's arms vanished into nothingness.

The legendary wizard, who had been furious, suddenly froze.

'As expected, he's a body-refining wizard!'

Ronan just used Hongmeng to analyze this person.

I know this person has decent strength.

Therefore, he felt that a single bolt of Wood Divine Lightning was not enough to kill this person.

As expected, a bolt of divine lightning struck, shattering only one of the man's arms.

As his thoughts raced, Ronan unleashed another divine lightning bolt!
Upon learning of the power of lightning magic, the legendary wizard immediately fled.

A broken arm is nothing to him.

He is an expert in bloodline fusion and physical modification, and can find other people's arms and reattach them to himself.

All that needs to be done now is to escape from Edmund's clutches.

He realized that he had completely misjudged Edmund's strength.

I never imagined Edmund would possess such powerful lightning magic.

The legendary wizard dodged Ronan's divine lightning.

However, Ronan's Wood Divine Thunder was already perfected, and he could control it at will.

Ronan's heart skipped a beat, and the divine lightning changed direction, heading straight for the legendary wizard.
