The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Sweating profusely, Glette emerged from Wizard Tower Number Three, clutching a black bead in his hand. It was a device Allen had crafted to collect dark energy, meant to aid his cultivation. Glette felt a sense of comfort; his teacher did care about him after all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder when Dolai would finally leave. The Empire's recent troop movements were frequent, suggesting war was imminent.

The O'Neill family, besides the high-ranking members serving in the military, had also organized a private army of about three thousand men to join the fray, all for the sake of gaining merits. He was originally supposed to go with the family, but after hearing that Dolai had allowed him to control the Wizard Tower, the family elders never mentioned it again.

This made Glette somewhat smug. 'I have a Wizard Tower, you guys can step aside. I'm a hot commodity now.'

…

In the Rhine family's backyard, amidst the icy landscape, the last white crystal near Aisi turned into mist, vanishing into the air.

Shortly after, she opened her eyes.

Thanks to the family's resources and her own efforts, her meditation technique had reached its peak. To advance further, she needed to go to extremely cold places to comprehend the Domain of Ice, and initially master the use of the Ice Aura. In the North, this was only possible for a few months during winter; the rest of the time it wouldn't work.

While this icy courtyard was also an option, it was, after all, man-made and not part of the laws of nature, so it had some flaws.

The wondrous use of advanced meditation techniques lies here. At the fifth level, one can comprehend a portion of the aura's wondrous uses and transform it into a rudimentary domain. This is also a huge dividing line between high-level and low-level wizard forces. Even at the same fifth level, wizards with special meditation techniques can instantly crush ordinary wizards.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand, and streams of water vapor condensed around her, turning into hundreds of Qian-style snowflakes around her body. These snowflakes were actually constructed from tiny magical model constructs, each snowflake being a complete piece of witchcraft.

She tried to control these snowflakes, making them dance around her, quickly forming a vortex of snowflakes.

She wanted to use her own method to create the Ice Spears that Dolai used. Before long, these snowflakes condensed in her hand, forming a crystal-clear ice pillar.

Sweat appeared on her forehead. She then released the ice pillar, throwing it in a certain direction.

A white figure appeared in front of the ice pillar, her robes fluttering, indescribably ethereal.

It was Lauren.

As soon as she appeared and saw the ice pillar, feeling the extremely compressed power within, her heart stirred slightly.

'Not bad, not bad. This power is already close to a fifth-level spell.'

She pointed her finger, and a ripple of water emerged from her hand, quickly transforming into a mirror of light, its diameter quickly growing from half a meter to a meter.

The ice pillar was extremely fast, and Lauren's reaction was also extremely quick. The moment the mirror formed, the ice pillar came into contact with the mirror surface.

Bang, bang, bang.

Several pleasant sounds of shattering glass rang out as the ice pillar broke apart inch by inch, forming thousands of randomly bursting energy fragments that shot out in all directions, while the mirror surface was also dented.

As the last bit of the ice pillar disappeared, a few cracks appeared on the mirror surface.

Suddenly, the mirror surface shattered, scattering into a sky full of ice crystals.

In the distance, Aisi frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the power.

At this moment, Lauren walked over and floated in front of Aisi, smiling slowly, "This power is already very good, breaking my casually condensed fifth-level spell. Why are you still frowning?"

Aisi sighed and said, "I thought I was the most powerful genius in Wassonburg, but I didn't expect someone to be even more talented than me. Alas, this spell, if placed in that person's hands, would probably be condensed in an instant. Unlike me, after working so hard for so long, it still takes at least five seconds to condense successfully. Five seconds, if facing an enemy…"

Lauren's expression froze. She also thought of that young man. Indeed, there were few wizards among his peers who specialized in control.

She thought for a moment and said, "Don't be discouraged. He is an alchemist, and he has been working hard on control since he was a child. You can also do it if you cultivate for a period of time. Moreover, the Ice Goddess's meditation technique does not require too high a level of control. As long as you form a domain, within a certain range, even if it takes ten seconds to condense this kind of single attack, others are still lambs on the chopping block. This is the advantage of our meditation technique."

Aisi shook her head, "If I were to face an expert like Dolai, who possesses great power and extremely strong single attacks, I'm afraid he could easily kill me without even leaving his domain. What's more, he also possesses many poisons. This person, now that I think about it, is simply invincible in the same realm."

Facing Dolai, she suddenly felt particularly powerless.

Lauren's expression froze again. She thought about ways to deal with Dolai, but in the same realm, there really wasn't much she could do, unless she used alchemical equipment to directly bombard him. A direct fight was definitely impossible, but if she used large-scale alchemical equipment, he also had a Wizard Tower. In a head-on confrontation, ordinary wizards would definitely be completely defeated. How could anyone play against that?

She thought for a moment and slowly comforted, "You should reach the fifth level first. After the fifth level, there are many methods. As long as the domain is not destroyed, we are immortal. If he wants to defeat you, he must first find you in the domain. Although poisons are strong, they cannot exert much effect in low-temperature environments."

Aisi thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

She turned her head, her eyes firm, "Father won't be able to leave for another month. I want to leave now."

Lauren nodded and said, "That's fine. Coincidentally, that kid's Wizard Tower is almost completed. It's always better for you to have a Wizard Tower to stay in than to use a magic tent."

She was a little envious of Aisi. When she was promoted to the fifth level, she didn't have such good treatment. She pitifully stayed alone in the ice and snow for a full three years before successfully entering the fifth level. Those three years were simply a nightmare.

Those three years were also the darkest three years of her life, filled with despair, loneliness, and solitude. Nothing in the world is more painful than that.

Lauren's eyes were filled with a trace of icy death.

…

Time passed quickly, three days.

Dolai walked out of the room, looking radiant. He felt refreshed, and his mental power limit had increased a little.

He had issued a notice a few days ago that he would be going out to practice, so his lectures would be suspended until he returned. As a result, the entire Wassonburg alchemist industry suffered a huge blow, and countless people wailed.

But there was nothing they could do. If they wanted to improve, they could either come and listen to lectures or join an organization and learn from others' methods. But now it seemed that the only organization without special and powerful restrictions was Dolai's Wizard Tower.

According to the wizards who had recently been reviewed and joined Dolai's Wizard Tower, this place was simply a paradise on earth. If there was anything they didn't know, they could just ask someone. As long as they paid a certain amount of gold coins and time, they could always find the answer. This was the true paradise for alchemists.

After hearing the news that the lectures were suspended, many people had the idea of joining Dolai's Wizard Tower.
