A magical pressure as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea rose from Locke's body. As his originally suppressed magical pressure increased, the amount of negative energy combining within the six-fold curse barrier also increased. Countless negative energies concentrated toward Locke from afar.

The concentration reached a degree visible to the naked eye. Even the eyes of ordinary people could actually see the degree of negative energy concentration.

Heavy pressure, like a mountain, pressed on the shoulders of every black wizard seed present. The mocking expressions that had originally been on the wizard seeds' faces all froze. Then their pupils involuntarily dilated, their breathing became heavy, their body muscles began to spasm, the magical pressure structure on their soul surfaces began to become disordered, which in turn caused the spell models stored in their consciousness seas to continuously malfunction, causing continuous magical power disorder.

And the magical pressure Locke released from his body surface was still rising.

The six black wizard seeds were already unable to bear it.

The black wizard apprentice with the pointed head widened his eyes, "His magical pressure... how can it exceed 1000?"

"That's formal wizard level magical pressure!"

"My god, the Eye Demon Wizard is already a formal wizard."

The fat vampire apprentice's face showed complete terror. Black wizards had confidence in killing above their level during the apprentice stage, but they absolutely had no confidence in killing above their level at the formal wizard stage.

The combat logic at the formal wizard level was completely different from apprentice level combat logic because of the existence of permanent defensive fields.

Sneak attacks, underhanded tactics, backstabbing, the premise for these was built on wizard apprentices not having permanent defensive fields.

Only then could they be established.

But because formal wizards had permanent defensive fields, ordinary combat experience was no longer applicable. No matter how poor a wizard was at combat, they were like wearing a turtle shell that was difficult to break through, possessing enormous margin for error.

Then during combat, the focus of competition was no longer instantaneous combat experience, but the depth of theoretical research and the practical combat application of theoretical research.

The vampire Laurie screamed. Her face changed drastically, "The intelligence didn't say the Eye Demon Wizard was on the critical edge of breaking through to formal wizard. He actually became a formal wizard!"

"The barrier... we still have the six-fold curse barrier. Within the six-fold curse barrier, so what if he's a formal wizard? Formal wizards still can't cast white magic... We at least... can escape!"

Locke chuckled lightly, "I think you seem to have misunderstood something."

"The principle of the six-fold curse barrier is that for every one part of white magic from me, it combines six parts curse energy to enter my body to neutralize and suppress my white magic. In other words, the six-fold curse barrier must be established on the existence of enough black magic energy to be valid."

"So is your black magic power sufficient?"

Locke released 3000 magical pressure. Immediately, the surrounding negative energy was insufficient to combine with his magical pressure. His highly condensed magical pressure power was like a black hole, conversely forcing the surrounding negative energy to concentrate toward him.

The negative energy in the surrounding air wasn't enough, so the result was conversely drawing negative energy magical power from these six black wizard apprentices but this still wasn't enough.

Thus, the small six-fold curse barrier on the ground developed crack after crack.

Without the energy supply from the curse technique research institute, this mere six-fold curse barrier posed no threat to him.

Then, under the terrified gazes of these black wizard apprentices and the delighted gazes of Sebastian and the others, the six-fold curse barrier shattered with a crash.

At this instant, Sebastian and the others also regained their magic and began using their own magic to clear the Spore Curse wrapped around them.

At the same time, the expressions on all six black wizard apprentices' faces changed dramatically. They immediately scattered and fled in six batches, fleeing in six directions.

"Run quickly! Only formal wizards are absolutely our match."

"Formal wizards have permanent defensive fields. We're absolutely no match."

All six black wizard apprentices' eyes flashed with cunning. On the surface they were reminding each other to flee, but in reality, during the fleeing process, they cast Paralysis Curses and Stupor Curses on others one after another.

In their view, escaping from a formal wizard's hands was extremely difficult, but if Locke first went to pursue and kill others, they would have one more chance of escape than others.

These black wizard seeds had all killed their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They were ruthless, sinister, cunning, and extremely treacherous.

Locke looked at them coldly. At this moment, the Omen Mandrake Vines that had been keeping invisible suddenly manifested on them. It turned out that from the very beginning, they had already been caught by the Omen Mandrake Vines.

Locke reached out and grabbed. All six people were forcibly yanked back from a hundred meters away in reverse.

"The gap between formal wizards and apprentices is far greater than you imagine. Want to escape from my hands? Pipe dream."

Locke deployed his Life Force Field. Immediately, emerald green crystal wall barriers expanded in all directions. Life Force Field rejected all negative energy, and these black wizard apprentices were being yanked by magical vines in his direction.

They were like cars traveling at high speed, crashing into a wall. On the spot, of the six black wizard candidate seeds, four died.

Locke glanced at Laurie and Hussein who were still alive. Laurie was already severely injured. She had collided with the crystal wall barrier formed by the Life Force Field, and half her body had been shattered by the Life Force Field.

Hussein was more special. At the last moment, he seemed to have activated some special power, broke free from his restraints, and escaped.

Laurie lay on the ground, her pupils unfocused, "How could this be..."

Locke glanced at her and snapped his fingers. Immediately, the Life Force Field barrier expanded again in her direction. Laurie was like a water balloon squeezed in a hand. All the black magic in her body was being compressed by the Life Force Field.

She let out a scream. Advanced curse patterns appeared on her face one after another. Then those curse patterns broke one by one, and thus the vampire curse on her body was also destroyed by Locke's Life Force Field barrier.

"I see. Using First Circle magic, a Life Force Field barrier formed from life energy, can directly kill them without breaking the vampire's immortal body."

Locke suddenly understood, "Perhaps it's because I have an absolute level gap with these vampire apprentices."

"Therefore, the immortal body formed by the curse on them has also lost its effect."

Locke looked in Hussein's direction. The Large Green Owl Banana appeared behind him. Like an arrow leaving the bowstring, he pursued in reverse, gaining the initiative by striking second, arriving ahead of Hussein's flight trajectory and waiting there.

Locke said, "This feeling is very strange. Hussein, do you still remember our second meeting, when you used curse magic to make me look disheveled?"

"Now, it seems our positions have reversed."

A trace of solemnity appeared on Hussein's face. He stopped his movement. The bat wings behind him immediately doubled in size and changed from black to blood-colored, covered in curse energy. Then he flew in another direction.

Hussein smiled bitterly, 'This guy Locke really holds grudges.'

'However, he seems not to be going for the kill against me.'

'That's right. He must continuously pursue and kill me, otherwise... I really can't explain this to my mentor. But he truly does hold grudges.'

Locke glanced at Hussein. He indeed wasn't going for the kill against him.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Hussein was, he wouldn't be a match for a First Circle wizard but from the very beginning, he had detected that the six-fold curse barrier had a loophole, and that loophole was in Hussein's direction.

In other words, before knowing he had become a formal wizard, Hussein had secretly opened a way out for him in the ambush. That's why Locke hadn't killed Hussein.

The several attacks on him were just to avoid exposing the fact that Hussein had secretly gone easy on him.

If he didn't do this, the surveillance left on Hussein by Hussein's black wizard mentor from the Blood Curse Court side would immediately observe the anomaly.

At that time, Hussein would truly die.

Locke took out the Three-Headed Rapid-Fire Peas and aimed in Hussein's direction, the corners of his mouth curving up.

Hussein looked back and felt the vast magical pressure condensing on Locke's side. He was so frightened that his heart rarely beat once, "Bad."
