Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Finally, under their repair, those damaged nodes gradually regained their original stability, making the entire Four Elements Barrier calm once more.

Seeing this, David finally exhaled a heavy breath, but his expression remained very grave.

He was now relying solely on his own power to patch a small part of the Four Elements Barrier, certainly unable to restore the barrier to its original form.

As the Demon Tide within the Four Elements Barrier continued to assault, this patch would inevitably be easily breached, resulting in an even bigger rupture!

"We need more time." David opened his eyes and said to the witches, "The barrier is temporarily stable, but we must find a more fundamental solution. The Demon Tide won't stop just because of our efforts."

The witches nodded, knowing they needed to work harder to enhance their strength and also find a way to counter the Demon Tide.

"When we return, we'll continue researching the Elemental Array to see if we can find a way to reinforce the barrier," Hill said.

She mastered one of the Four Elements, the Earth Element, and was also a Tier Four Mage, so Hill was the main person responsible for researching the Elemental Array.

Lingnai nodded silently beside her, with a solemn expression on her face.

To successfully study the Four Elements Array, they must gather witches with the power of Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire elements. Currently, they lack the elements of Water and Fire.

"This is the energy contained within the Four Elements Barrier that I sensed," David said, then shared his insights with the witches through mind sensing.

The witches immediately displayed thoughtful expressions, then returned to the castle at once, planning to try out the ideas in their minds.

David did not leave; he sat cross-legged in front of the barrier, closed his eyes, and began further perceiving the energy contained within the Four Elements Barrier.

He could vaguely feel that after the energy of Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire had been fused into the barrier, it seemed to transform into a more powerful elemental energy.

David immersed himself in the power of the Four Elements Barrier, and his telepathy talent allowed him to deeply perceive the subtle connections between the elements.

In his consciousness, the elements of Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire were no longer independent entities but intertwined in the barrier to form a new equilibrium.

This harmony was not only an elemental balance but also a fusion of power, an existence that transcended ordinary elemental energy.

David began attempting to understand this power, his spiritual power roaming at the crossroads of the elements, trying to capture the mysteries of their fusion.

Time passed quietly under his concentration, and David's perception deepened. He began to capture some vague outlines.

It was the way elemental energy flowed within the barrier, converging at some points and dispersing at others, forming a dynamic balance.

This balance was not only a balance of power but also a cycle of energy, a ceaseless process.

A realization emerged in David's mind; he recognized that this cycle was the key to maintaining the Four Elements Barrier.

If this cycle could be simulated, perhaps the stability of the barrier could be strengthened.

David opened his eyes, his gaze shining with insight.

Then, he immediately returned to the castle to study this cycle with the witches, and from there, they set up the Elemental Array!

David and the witches sat around a spacious laboratory filled with ancient books, strange herbs, and various magic materials.

A complex elemental array map was spread out on the table before them, marked with symbols and energy flow paths of the four elements: Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire.

David's fingers gently traced the lines of the array, combining his perception of the Four Elements cycle to finalize the details of the Elemental Array.

Then, he led the witches in setting up the array, hoping it could simulate the energy cycle of the barrier and enhance its stability.

The witches followed instructions, placing various magic items and rune stones according to the array's layout.

David guided the flow of spiritual power to ensure that each part of the array was connected accurately and flawlessly.

As time passed, the array gradually took shape, its outline appearing in the center of the laboratory.

David took a deep breath and began to inject his spiritual power, activating the array.

The witches also cast spells, infusing the elements they controlled into the array.

The array began to glow, a gentle radiance spreading throughout the laboratory as it slowly rotated, forming a miniature energy vortex.

David could feel the energy in the array beginning to flow, simulating the cycle within the Four Elements Barrier. Though smaller in scale, the principle was the same.

As the energy cycle strengthened, the array's light grew brighter, and a sudden energy wave more potent than the Four Elements alone appeared!

This intense energy wave shook the air of the laboratory; David and the witches could clearly feel the power's strength and purity.

The pillar of light at the array's center grew more dazzling. It seemed not only to simulate the barrier's energy cycle but also to create a new form of energy.

"Such strong energy fluctuation."

"The Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire elements indeed achieved fusion."

David made this judgment in his heart.

After the fusion of the Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire energies, the intensity increased more than tenfold!

Legend has it that the world is made up of the elements Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire. Thus, the energy of their fusion is approaching the world's original energy!

After some thought, David temporarily named this energy Ether.

Ether Energy, meaning the closest to the origin!

Then, he began studying the properties and applications of this new energy, and guided it, attempting to connect it with the Four Elements Barrier.

"Ether Energy."

"If I gather the Elemental Spirits of Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire, and then fuse them, I wonder if I can obtain this Ether Energy."

An idea flickered in David's mind.

If this idea succeeded, his power would increase tenfold!

This was highly attractive to him, and David planned to give it a try.

Obviously, the first step was to acquire the talents of the four elements.

Currently, the talents of the Fire Element and Water Element were elusive, but a witch with Wind Element Talent was right beside him. He felt he could first try to win over Lingnai.

Additionally, Hill's strength had been improving very rapidly during this time, and he could find a way to help Hill break through to become a Tier Five Earth Mage.

Of course, Lingnai's breakthrough was equally important. Her current Tier Three Mage status provided too few experience points; she must advance to Tier Four as soon as possible!

"Wind element resources."

"It looks like it's time to attack the Western Territory."

David had some ideas in mind.

The Duke of the Western Border's Gale Divine Eagle possessed the Wind Attribute.

Due to the Western Territory's Wind Element environment, the majority of the nobility's bloodlines were related to the Wind Element, and naturally, there were Wind Element resources.

David had always been a man of action; he immediately gathered the Knight Order.

Simultaneously, a large number of soldiers were dispatched to the Western Territory. It was clear to everyone that Duke Frost Wolf finally intended to make a move on the Western Territory of the Silver Moon Kingdom!

...

Western Territory.

The face of the Duke of the Western Border looked very grim.

Not long ago, he received some bad news.

A section of the Black Forest bordering the Western Territory had a Wind Element Barrier.

Outside the Wind Element Barrier, a large number of demons were entering the real world through cracks in the barrier, and among them was a Tier Six Magical Beast!

A Tier Six Magical Beast!

And currently, the Western Territory only had one Tier Six Knight—himself.

Although he had already sent troops to combat these extraordinary magical beasts,

he still could not kill this Tier Six Knight. He could only temporarily confine it to a specific safe area, preventing these beasts from entering the interior of the Western Territory!

The Duke of the Western Border's expression was very grim.

The combat power of the Frost Wolf Knight Order was increasingly terrifying, and coupled with Duke Frost Wolf, this mighty knight with a record of glories in battle, it wasn't something the Divine Eagle Knight Order could resist. Even if Duke Frost Wolf took the field, the outcome would be quite certain!

The battle seemed to have lost all meaning, and even if he managed to withstand it, there was no way he could keep the entire Western Territory from Duke Frost Wolf!
