Chapter Three Hundred Fifty-Seven:
The black cube was engraved with dense runes, which were arranged in a way that vaguely formed the shape of a Black Two-Headed Dragon.
Glancing at one of the ash-colored green Rune Stones on the Control Panel, Freya lightly snapped her fingers.
The ashen green remnants immediately floated up and then cleared away.
Once the Control Panel was completely cleaned, Freya pressed the black Rune Stone she held back into its previous position.
With a 'thud!'
The Rune Stone was directly embedded, and then Freya took out a black magic Crystal, about the thickness of a finger, from her waist and slowly inserted it into the adjacent energy interface.
With a slight hissing sound, the dense runes on the black Rune Stone began to move rapidly. The Black Two-Headed Dragon emblem in the center gradually dispersed, and then thin black lines spread around the Control Panel, releasing a faint sticky aura from the Rune Stone.
Watching the Rune Array operate normally, Freya narrowed her eyes slightly.
"The Corruption Toxicity Array, the Largest Poisonous Array of Level Three. Although its attack power isn't very strong, it can slowly transform the terrain into vast toxic swamps. Additionally, the spread of neurotoxic substances can coalesce into a year-round lingering poison fog. I can also plant some plants suitable for this area to use for defense, which is much more practical than the Secondary Thorn Barrier. I suppose this will deter any unwary wizards or others from entering here."
After a pause, she walked to the window and looked outside. In her view, a circle of purple ripples was slowly spreading from the estate's center.
Faint strands of purple mist were gradually gathering, and the surrounding plants were changing color under the influence of this Purple Mist, forming vegetation infused with the same toxins.
Meanwhile, in the distance, aquatic creatures that had previously died were slowly decaying into liquid and sinking to the bottom due to these toxic mists.
"It should take about a week to complete the transformation of the terrain."
Satisfied, Freya withdrew her gaze and returned to the Control Panel. The second Rune Array, while not broken, was covered in cracks, indicating that it was close to being damaged.
However, Freya did not replace it. Instead, she took out a Test Tube filled with Light Blue Liquid, removed the stopper, and slowly poured it onto the Rune Stone.
As soon as the Light Blue Liquid made contact with the Rune Stone, it quickly seeped into the cracks, filling them in.
Freya quietly waited for the repair liquid to completely restore the Rune Stone before taking out her silver rune carving knife to begin modifying the runes on its surface.
"The Crystal Barrier has the strongest defense among Second Level Rune Arrays and can automatically replenish energy through sunlight. Even among Third Level Rune Arrays, nothing is more suitable unless those two wizards are somewhat special. An ordinary wizard would never be able to break through."
As Freya modified the runes on the Rune Stone, she recalled the two wizards who had just fought.
The wizard with the Corrupted Spider Bloodline was formidable; his full-strength attack was nearly on par with Third-Level Witchcraft. His corrupting aura had a troublesome ability to weaken biological resistance and corrupt internal organs. Although the Crystal Barrier belonged to a Rune Array, it was still affected by this aura.
As for the wizard under Nick, besides his powerful abilities, his armor was unusual. According to Freya's assessment, he had not fully utilized its functions yet. It seemed that he lacked sufficient level or rank, and it concealed a strong Bloodline Power—likely a family heirloom.
These two wizards were undoubtedly elite figures wherever they went. If they had encountered an ordinary wizard instead of Freya in this situation, even a wizard from Blood Eagle Territory would probably have to endure in silence.
Soon, the repair of the Rune Array was completed under Freya's hands. In addition to further enhancing the Crystal Barrier, she also added reflective attack-type Rune Arrays inside it. She carved over thirty of these type Rune Arrays, ensuring that unless they were struck down all at once, there would be no way for them to develop numerous cracks as before.
After resolving the two damaged Rune Arrays, Freya briefly checked the last one before leaving the Control Room.
Although this time the battle between the two wizards nearly breached the estate's outer defense system, having spent several years in this place meant that Freya's defenses were not limited to just these three large Rune Arrays.
Even if they managed to break through three outer Defensive Rune Arrays, they would likely find it impossible to enter through the estate's main gate recklessly.
The various rune traps, curses, and illusions set by Freya were enough to exhaust or instantly kill any wizard below dawn level.
Sure, the defense strength of Lakefront Manor is equivalent to that of a medium-sized Wizard Organization.
After leaving the Control Room, Freya briefly inspected some important areas and the botanical garden.
Then, she directly walked into her laboratory. The black Experiment Table was illuminated by a faint glow from the Rune Array, which was covered with Promotion Resources wrapped in Black Boxes.
Freya placed the box containing the Estate Armor Sphere into the drawer beneath the Experiment Table and then opened one of the boxes within the Rune Array.
Inside was a red crystal-like Test Tube, in which faint particles were vaguely visible.
Picking up the Test Tube, Freya gently shook it, causing the liquid inside to emit a rainbow of colors.
Her face was reflected in the liquid, looking very beautiful.
"The solution has reached a perfect state. In about ten minutes, its efficacy will likely begin to fade. The Empowerment Spell has also been tested. Although it differs slightly from what I imagined, it is close enough that I should prepare for promotion."
After standing expressionlessly for a moment, she reached out and directly uncorked the potion, drinking the liquid inside in one gulp.
The colorful liquid flowed down her throat, and Freya tossed aside the bottle, softly murmuring a word in Ancient Elvish Language.
"Wind."
A massive Azure airflow rapidly spread from her feet, dense wind Energy Particles swirling around her body like a whirlwind.
Freya slightly squinted her eyes and extended her hand to gently stroke the thick airflow in front of her.
"For this promotion, I am combining the King Cobra Legacy. If my reasoning is correct, there should theoretically be a seventy percent success rate. If successful, I could be the first wizard to combine the paths of Ancient Wizard and Modern Wizard. However, if I fail..."
As she murmured to herself, she gently closed her eyes and suddenly clenched her palm amidst the dense Wind Element Particles.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, Freya suddenly opened her eyes.
Her Azure Blue Eyes gradually transformed into a rich green. They were as clear and bright as crystal, and within those crystalline eyes, a pair of Azure Symbols was spinning rapidly.
As Freya prepared for her ascension, a translucent beam of light shot up into the sky above Lakefront Manor, then burst apart with a loud bang.
In an instant, the aura and energy fluctuations around the manor completely vanished.
A wisp of black clouds slowly gathered in the air above the manor, and soon, fine raindrops began to fall alongside the purple mist rising from the ground.
The entire manor was faintly shrouded in this hazy area formed by the rain and Purple Mist.
As time passed, the hard ground began to soften, and some purple plants started to grow rapidly. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees surrounding the manor, producing a soft "sobbing" sound, like a woman weeping.
Two hours later.
Freya in the laboratory appeared as if petrified, her entire body motionless.
Only her green crystal-like eyes sparkled with countless Azure streams.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Suddenly, Freya's still body trembled. She slowly lowered her head to look at several Black Boxes on the Experiment Table.
She extended her finger and gently flicked it, causing the box in the center to pop open with a 'snap'.
Inside, the Spiritual Orb immediately emitted a hazy White Light.
Freya slightly parted her lips and gently inhaled, as the light from the Spiritual Orb flowed out like water and was drawn into her mouth.
A faint glow emanated from Freya's eyes.
In her perception, all the matter in the world transformed into countless colorful particles. Everything tangible appeared clearly in her sight.
"Is one hour enough?"
After a pause, Freya lifted her foot and stomped down forcefully.
'Bang.'
Under her foot, a large Blood-colored Rune Array suddenly spread out, with countless red mists emanating from the Rune Array, drifting in the air.
Immediately after, a gentle voice, like a hymn, began to spread with the expansion of the Blood-colored Rune Array.
The sound fluctuated in distance, as if many people were chanting together; the words were indistinct, but Freya could hear them clearly.
'Source of life in the swamp of the God of Wind and Rain, King Cobra, God of Hope, Life.'
Hearing the meaning of this hymn made Freya's heart stir slightly.
"This is resonance; it actually produces resonance."
However, feeling the passage of time, Freya also knew that this was not the moment for contemplation. She closed her eyes and began to attempt to condense the third Mental Crystal.
The Crimson Mist on the Rune Array automatically flowed towards Freya's body, accelerating her condensation process.
Several other boxes placed on the Experiment Table opened automatically, beginning to pour their contents into the Blood-colored Rune Array in the order Freya had previously set.
The originally diluted Crimson Mist immediately became exceptionally dense.
The hazy hymn in the air seemed to clarify in an instant, as these ancient thoughts coalesced in the atmosphere, resembling a natural phenomenon that lingered throughout the estate.
In Freya's sea of consciousness, countless silver mental energies mixed rapidly with the red Bloodline Power, compressing together.
Some areas of rejection were quickly corrected and arranged by incoming White Light.
Time here seemed to slow down, and Freya vaguely felt her senses becoming somewhat dull.
She understood that this was the effect of the Spiritual Orb gradually weakening.
However, because her current advancement was fundamentally different from a normal promotion and was intertwined with the King Cobra Legacy, the originally ample time now felt subtly insufficient.
"Then let's try this."
With her eyes slightly closed, a sense of determination flashed through Freya's mind. A tender green leaf from the Tree of Life floated up from her waist.
The leaves of the Tree of Life emitted a strong life force, with strands of green energy directly entering her body.
Although Freya's senses were still diminishing, under the enhancement of this life force, the condensation speed increased as the Bloodline Power rapidly became active.
The power of the King Cobra drove its own spiritual fragments, mingling with specks of green life energy converging within.
In the entire Mind Sea, a massive chaotic Blood Cocoon rapidly formed.
Until a crisp sound echoed.
The Blood Cocoon slowly cracked open, and countless fragments transformed into particles that scattered and fell. Among the falling particles, a grain-sized Crystal floated in Freya's mind, emanating an inexplicable aura.
This Crystal was not sharp-edged like the other two; instead, it was very rounded and had a color reminiscent of blood.
Circles of patterns spread from the base of the Crystal, forming unique runes.
These runes intertwined and arranged themselves into special designs.
As the last rune was embedded into the entire pattern, silver flames ignited within the design, deeply branding the Crystal.
Freya, who had kept her eyes closed, slowly opened them.
At this moment, all the previous colors of her pupils faded away, returning to their original deep blue hue.
She gently lifted her head and looked around the laboratory. The once familiar lab now seemed to be filled with thick plasma, and the air was saturated with a strong metallic scent of blood, as if each breath felt like swallowing blood.
The crystal clock on the wall continued to move, and upon seeing the time, Freya paused slightly.
"Has it been two weeks? That's three days later than expected. Is this the path I have chosen?"
She gently raised her right arm.
‘Crack’
The sleeves on her arms instantly turned to dust and fell away.
On the back of her right hand, the King Cobra mark had changed its appearance; the coiled King Cobra began to stretch its body, and on its back, two distinct Azure Wind Flows slowly moved.
"I can smell the breath of the wind over there."
Freya gently grasped with her hand, and a strand of dark blue wind immediately condensed in her palm.
Feeling the information from this wind, a strange expression flashed in Freya's eyes.
"My mental energy hasn't been consumed, and my Bloodline Power hasn't been activated. This is my inherent ability, a primal ability like breathing. So what am I now, a Third-Rank Wizard? Or a King Cobra Legacy bearer?"
Though it was a question, she already had an inkling of the answer in her heart.
On the surface, her current status was that of a Third-Rank Wizard, but her true power had already far surpassed that of an ordinary Third-Rank Wizard. Even low-level Dawn Wizards might be comparable to her.
"The Dawn Wizard is an important stage of soul transformation, while the first form of the King Cobra's condensation signifies a physical change. Perhaps I can expedite my journey to hell now." (To be continued.)
