Fluctuations and the Undying Luo
Chapter 919 Fluctuations and the Undying Luo
On the seventh floor of the Castle of True Knowledge, when the wizard Trajan heard that Locke had successfully published three articles in the second-circle, first-zone journal, he was taking a sip of wizard tea and suddenly almost choked.
"Cough cough..."
"All three are by Yun Ze?"
Trajan immediately contacted his editorial friend Yunze to confirm, and asked another question on the Water Hyacinth system.
Locke said, "Two chapters on cloud and marshland, and one chapter on the boundary of all things."
Trajan looked at Locke with a complicated expression and said, "Then I must congratulate you in advance. Three articles in Zone 1, it's really impressive to publish so many in such a short time."
"So you want to get the reward ahead of time?"
Locke nodded and said, "I have a special agreement with the Senate. I need at least three thousand contribution points to complete the agreement and enter the Supernatural Purgatory."
When Locke mentioned entering the wizarding secret realm, the Supernatural Purgatory, the wizard Trajan frowned but said nothing.
Trajan the Wizard said, “Be careful. I understand. I will check whether you have received the reward. The distribution of contribution points is indeed managed by our Academic Committee. I cannot agree to anything else, but I am now acting on behalf of a teacher and can help you receive the contribution points a month in advance.”
"As long as no one reports it, it's fine. Even if someone does report it, it won't be a big problem because the items are all genuine. Moreover, since this matter involves a transaction with the Senate, it means that two of the three major factions on Mount Golden Crown have tacitly approved of what happened."
"It should be fine. I will issue the contribution points to you as soon as possible. You can check your contribution points at the library."
Locke bowed to him. "Thank you, senior brother."
Just before Trajan was about to leave his office, he called out to Locke, took a magic ring off his left hand, and tossed it to Locke.
Locke caught the magic ring and immediately felt a continuous flow of power being directed towards him. This power then manifested as fluctuations, and a special wave of energy enveloped his body.
Trajan said, “This is a Wave Ring. Look at Antoine’s hands, they’re covered in rings, many of them are Wave Rings. Power Mages can convert their magical power into waves. Later, skilled alchemists modified the Wave Ring, so it’s not just power Mages who can use it, ordinary wizards can use it too.”
"You'll need this in the supernatural purgatory. It's a sanity-fluctuation magic ring. Only when you maintain your sanity can you convert a portion of your magical power into a special fluctuation power. Normally, fluctuation power can only be used to enhance your physique and increase your physical mobility."
"Absolute rationality fluctuations can counter the magic of the Mind School."
"Consider it a loan to you. This is a high-level second-ring magic weapon, and I've used it for a long time, so some of my power is on it."
Locke said to the wizard Trajan, "Brother, if I am forever lost in the supernatural purgatory, won't your ring be permanently lost there as well?"
Trajan the wizard said, "That is precisely why I am giving it to you."
The wizard Trajan said, "Entering the Supernatural Purgatory without the Ring of Waves is far too dangerous. You'll understand why I gave you this ring once you're there."
"I will now tell you the incantation for using this ring, so that you can apply it more fully."
Locke nodded. After listening to Trajan's incantation, he began to chant it himself. His magical power surged and then transformed into waves, which rapidly enhanced his physical abilities.
This is similar to stimulating bloodline power and strengthening the body.
But this is magical power transformed into a special fluctuation, which is then superimposed on one's own body.
With a wave of his hand, the wizard Trajan unleashed a stream of peach blossoms that attacked him. Before the blossoms could even touch his mental fluctuations, the pale blue mental fluctuations reacted first, creating a tactile response that surpassed his senses of sight, hearing, and touch, causing him to retreat rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, the torrent of peach blossoms continued to attack him, but the peach blossoms suddenly disappeared in front of him.
Where did you go?
Locke's heart sank. The difference between a Sun Ring Wizard and an ordinary Second Ring Wizard was indeed like heaven and earth. Just a casual spell had left him with no way to counter it.
The next moment, Locke sensed the Peach Killing Curse appearing behind him through the fluctuations behind him.
He instantly turned around and dodged the attack that was heading straight for his back.
"I see, so this is the feeling of fluctuation."
Locke raised his right hand and looked at the layer of rational fluctuations covering his right hand.
"Is Antoine also skilled in wave theory?"
The wizard Trajan said, "You've adapted very quickly. Is it Antoine from the Senate? Of course. I remember he used some of the principles of wave theory when he fought you last time. However, wave theory doesn't offer much advantage at the first level. Only the immense magical pressure of a second-level wizard can support the conversion of such a large amount of wave theory."
Locke nodded.
It turned out to be the case.
Trajan the wizard said, "We ordinary wizards can also use the Ring to obtain some of the magic used by power masters. The Supernatural Purgatory is composed of waves. If you go there, without the power of these waves, you will find it impossible to move an inch. Alright, junior brother, then I wish you good luck."
Locke bowed to him, then turned and quickly left.
Trajan frowned as he looked at the closed office door. The composure he had been trying to convey vanished instantly, and he immediately wrote a letter to Catherine the Witch.
"Damn it, the Supernatural Purgatory is a wizarding secret realm where wizards can die and their souls will forever linger. How did Junior Brother end up there?"
"You should contact your teacher as soon as possible."
Trajan the wizard frantically tried to dodge the attack, then sighed.
"They're young after all."
"So young and impetuous."
Trajan wrote a letter and gave it to a special magical owl. Suddenly, green flames ignited in the fireplace in his office, and then an owl flew out from it.
Trajan quickly grabbed the owl and took a piece of paper from its feet.
"Huh? Don't interfere?"
……
A day later, after learning some basic information about the Supernatural Purgatory, Locke first obtained the historical atlas that Warwick had created, and then he went to the Peach Garden with Antoine.
Antoine led Locke to a teleportation array behind the Peach Garden. "This is the Supernatural Purgatory."
"After I open the Supernatural Purgatory, you will enter it via a floating staircase. If you die in the Supernatural Purgatory, you will be released. But remember, there are beings that trap souls in the Supernatural Purgatory. If you are killed by them, you will be lost inside forever."
"Secondly, if you die in certain special areas, your soul will be unable to leave."
"The only way to leave the Supernatural Purgatory alive is to hunt down the Demon Kings within it. Killing one of the Demon Kings will allow you to leave."
Antoine looked at Locke and said, "Because each wizard can only enter the Supernatural Purgatory once every five years, I can't go in with you even if I wanted to."
“Locke, you must understand, this is very dangerous. Even the wizards of our Senate do not like to enter the Supernatural Purgatory. The Supernatural Purgatory was not originally a wizarding secret realm, but a place where the souls of enemies were imprisoned on Mount Golden Crown.” “Long ago, Mount Golden Crown encountered a group of enemies whose souls could not be destroyed. These people were hired by the Pureblood Order to destroy us.”
"These people are called the [Undying Luo], beings from a special great world. We have been engaged in a long battle with the Undying Luo. In order to settle their souls, Golden Crown Mountain had our Senate create this supernatural purgatory."
"If you know all this and still choose to enter the supernatural purgatory... then so be it."
Locke said, "I understand. Open the entrance to the supernatural purgatory."
Antoine nodded, and dripped a drop of his blood onto the ground. Instantly, the stones on the ground, which seemed to possess a long and ancient history, absorbed his blood. Then, the stones formed by the teleportation array lit up one by one, and the teleportation array began to rotate. Then, Locke's figure disappeared into it.
Locke felt as if he hadn't been teleported there.
My body felt as if it were sinking into a swamp, and I had fallen in completely.
Locke looked up and saw a bright red sky, as if flames were burning endlessly in it.
This place is a scorching hell.
The earth was covered with black, withered stones.
"The wizards of Golden Crown Mountain...fight with us! Fight with us!"
"Fight! Fight!"
Locke stood atop the mountain and looked down. In the black, scorched stone hell below, countless people and objects were locked in battle—an eternal struggle.
A violent aura swirled in his heart.
Locke seemed to be looking down into the deepest part of the valley below, where there was a group of people who looked like rats. They had rat-like appearances, but their whiskers were long and thin, floating in mid-air like clouds. The rat whiskers seemed to be their tentacles. Their hands were small and weak, and they had no strength at all.
But the tentacles on their faces were full of power, like strong tentacles.
Locke had a hunch that those rat-men were the same rat-men, Immortal Locke, who had been hired by the Pureblood Order during the Pureblood Era to try and destroy Mount Golden Crown.
The group of immortal beings all looked at Locke, then silently lowered their heads and disappeared into the crowd of others in this supernatural purgatory.
At that moment, a colossal eagle with a wingspan exceeding 10 meters descended from the sky, shouting, "Fight! Fight! Fight for resources! No fight, no resources!"
It was a hawk-man, wielding a long spear from which a red wave emanated, followed by a terrifying killing intent that enveloped Locke.
The next instant, Locke realized that all his magical powers were being suppressed—life magic, potion magic, archaeology magic, and bloodline magic.
Yes, this is a world made up of fluctuations.
In this world, the power of fluctuation is supreme, so other powers are suppressed out of thin air and cannot exert their full power.
No wonder Trajan gave him a Ring of Absolute Reason Fluctuation before he even entered.
Although I already knew some of these things before reading the materials, the experience of being there in person is completely different from reading on paper.
The eagle-man's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he descended from the sky, wielding a spear crackling with killing intent, aiming to strike Locke.
Before he even got close, Locke's absolute rationality fluctuations detected his trajectory and automatically evaded the attack.
"So that's how it is. In the Fluctuating Hell, my true form is nowhere to be found. I am currently only a soul moving around here. Therefore, my permanent defensive force field shell will be reduced to a permanent defensive force field. And because the Fluctuating World suppresses other forces, my permanent defensive force field will be extremely fragile, like paper."
This gave the crystallized eagle-man before him the possibility of breaking through his permanent defensive force field and harming him. If he didn't control the fluctuations, he would truly find it impossible to move an inch into this supernatural purgatory.
The eagle-man let out a fierce cry, showing no sign of retreat, and continued its attack, flying horizontally toward Locke with its spear, intending to pierce Locke's eyeball and kill him with a single spear thrust.
But at that moment, Locke grabbed the spear in his hand and yanked him down from the air.
Eagleman: 'You…'
The next moment, the Demonic Dragon Rose behind Locke spewed out a burst of demonic dragon flames, engulfing the eagle-man and completely swallowing the eagle-man who had taken the initiative to attack him.
Locke looked down at the other creatures below the mountain. He saw that these creatures, seeing the eagle-man die tragically at his hands, not only showed no fear, but instead looked at him with great interest, wanting to fight him.
So that's how it is. This is the supernatural fighting hell.
Everyone within it is constantly fighting, constantly fighting...
Death after death... battle after battle...
This has been the mainstream of the times here since the pure-blooded era of Golden Crown Mountain, and the real culprit behind it all seems to be not only Golden Crown Mountain, but also those immortal Luo hidden in this supernatural fighting purgatory.
Those enemies that have long since vanished.
Although they were wiped out by the high-ringed wizards of Mount Golden Crown outside, their immortal power still maintains order here, creating an environment of perpetual battle.
'Boom~'
A man with six arms suddenly rushed towards Locke, delivering a flying kick, his legs also wreathed in killing intent.
"Battle...battle..."
Locke waved his hand, and a bud of the Demonic Dragon Rose behind him spewed a flame at him, instantly causing the six-armed figure to disappear into the Demonic Dragon's flames.
"Battle...battle..."
Waves of killing intent surged toward him like a tide.
Locke's pupils turned into golden vertical pupils, but he quickly suppressed this uncontrollable killing intent.
"Don't forget why I came to this godforsaken place."
“I didn’t come here to fight. I have travelogues and historical maps in my hands. If there is really a cause and effect related to Maxwell the wizard here, then those beings will inevitably come closer to me.”
……
At the Crown Court, Locke's clone entered the second lesson at the Sea Queen's Throne.
He saw four large characters written on the blackboard by the Neptune Queen—
