Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 183 Mental Power 100, All Members Undergo Four Sublimations!

The war in the underground world then lasted for another three months.

The Rye Queen completely abandoned her duties, directly taking control of the Rye capital and no longer issuing any orders other than a full-scale attack.

Now, the one leading the army in the Rye Underworld is her son, the arcane mage, Rooftop.

The combined forces of the dungeon army and the Zerg swarm engaged in hundreds of large-scale battles over three months.

Neither side cares about population or the economy.

If this scale of war were to occur in the Storm Kingdom on the surface, it would likely require the descent of the Storm God's holy spirit.

But underground, this brutal war continues unabated.

The scarab swarm has just occupied five towns and established hives today. It's possible that the underground coalition forces will wipe out all five hives tomorrow.

However, while the swarm was pushing over these five nests, it may have developed five more nests elsewhere.

The scarab swarm's greatest strength lies not in anything else, but in its reproductive capacity.

The larger the swarm, the more its reproductive capacity increases exponentially.

Over the past three months, the scarab swarm has suffered countless casualties, causing the hive consciousness to become increasingly enraged and facing a growing survival crisis.

In order to survive and cope with what it perceives as a survival crisis, the hive consciousness begins round after round of new evolution.

Exploring possible paths of evolution.

Meanwhile, Sunan ordered the Wizard Hand to constantly move across the battlefield on Sunday, taking advantage of the gaps before the Rye Matriarch had extracted all the power to refine the essence into dragon-like blood.

Therefore, during this process, Su Nan continued to feed the insect swarm with the abundant blood of magical creatures, accelerating the swarm's evolution.

At that time, in front of the largest insect hive in the underground world, the arcane mage led his five-colored lizardman army to this "insect capital" covered with fungal carpet, with countless flying scarabs flying in the sky and countless excavating scarabs digging underground.

The person on the roof turned pale. "Damn it. Have these insects from the surface already grown this large?"

"I've tried to attack this insect city seven times already. But every time I manage to wipe out most of the insects, they all recover within a week."

"We must wipe out this worm completely today."

He crushed a piece of purple ether in his hand. "This is a gravitational ether mixed with dark energy, crafted by my mother!"

"It can unleash a full-scale gravity spell equivalent to 0.9 ring on this area."

Suddenly, gravity enveloped the entire insect capital.

Countless modified scarabs were forced to fall from the sky, and then the five-colored lizardmen rushed in and began spewing jets of the five elements.

On the roof, incantations began to be chanted, and arcane blinks were used to charge into the swarm. With a katana, one slash after another, the swarm's hidden node scarabs and the scarab queens that were still incubating their eggs were killed.

Also, destroy the eggs that are hatching larvae.

Therefore, Su Nan, who had already returned to the surface and was in Maple Leaf Town upgrading the Sacred Stone Core for the Fortress Knight Golem, sensed the anger and plea for help from the Hive consciousness.

Su Nan uttered four words to the insectoid consciousness: "Continue to evolve!"

During these days, after the scarabs' exaggerated reproductive capacity led to rapid generational changes, Su Nan discovered that the insect hive, under the pressure of the underground army, had begun to develop towards the fourth sublimation.

The Hive adopted a completely different upgrade path from the werewolf's demonic shell body. Under the evolutionary strategy of continuous mutation of a large number of individuals, some individuals in the swarm under the rule of the Hive consciousness began to develop into Hive organs that gave up the ability to move.

This is due to the emergence of these swarm nest organs, coupled with Jinx's corresponding evolution.

Hive consciousness began to evolve accordingly.

This is an evolution of collective consciousness!

While the individual members of the swarm generally have low mental strength, and almost all of them are far below the standard of human mental strength, the vast number of individual swarm members have concentrated their consciousness on the collective consciousness of the hive.

Thus, the collective consciousness of this swarm, or the mental power of the Gaia consciousness of the swarm, exceeded 80 and, after forming magical pressure, soared all the way to 100 before being trapped by the 100-fold soul limit of the living organism.

Based on this situation, Su Nan fed Jinx the Scarab High Sun Mark potion that he had already calculated, which further enhanced the current fertility of the Scarab swarm and completely stabilized the life essence of the hive consciousness, which belongs to the fourth sublimation.

Although the swarm has completed four ascensions, it will still take some time for the swarm to be renewed and replaced.

Some of the swarms have already reached the fourth level of ascension, but the majority are still at the third level.

The swarm of insects is actually different from an ordinary individual life form.

Under the pressure of war, the insect swarm embarked on a path of collective evolution.

All scarabs are part of the scarab swarm, including Jinx herself.

Therefore, they must evolve together and fight together!

The various soldier scarabs are essentially just bullets fired by the swarm, the lord scarabs are the swarm's nervous system, and Jinx is the swarm's brain.

Sunan is the master of the swarm.

During these three months, Su Nan also raised his mental strength to 100 by taking three kinds of magic potions that increased the amount of aetherite, which is the limit for a first-class wizard apprentice.

Furthermore, he developed three new Potions spells of 0.7 level—

[Wolf Pack Effect Injection Charm], [Potion Enhancement Charm], [Removal Charm].

The Potion Enhancement Charm is a spell that, when used, increases the effect of consumable potions by an additional 10%.

The Wolf Pack Effect Injection Charm allows Su Nan to inject potions over a very long distance using the weak magical connection of the Wolf Pack Effect.

The Removal Spell allows Su Nan to extract consumable potions from the target's body, removing either the negative or positive effects of the potion.

Interestingly, this spell works on all potions and elixirs, meaning that with this spell, essentially no enemy can take any buff potion in front of Su Nan.

Unless the potion is of such a high level that it renders the removal spell ineffective.

This, in addition to the remote potion injection charm and the potion throwing charm.

Su Nan now possesses five Potions spells with a 0.7 ring, and his mental strength is already at 100.

He is now closer than ever before to becoming a full-fledged wizard.

All that's missing is a wizard tower and a first-circle potion-making skill to meet the basic requirements for becoming a full-fledged wizard!

Meanwhile, in Maple Leaf Town, Su Nan was placing the High-Grade Sacrificial Stone Potion into Alexander's chest.

In the darkness, the stone statues of the fortress knights began to move, and a powerful soul energy drifted above them, capturing and absorbing the soul fragments in the surrounding air.

Su Nan had made preparations in advance. In the underworld, there were plenty of soul fragments. Even if he didn't collect them, some of the matriarchs would absorb them anyway.

Therefore, Su Nan had ten super werewolf messengers open the ten bottles containing fragments of soul energy in their claws.

A large number of fragments of soul energy entered the body of the fortress knight Alexander, and the marble statue began to emit a faint green light.

At the same time, Sunan ordered his lizardmen, who wore slave collars around their necks, to put a large amount of still iron into the body of the fortress knight Alexander.

Medium-grade Stone Golem Potions can bring life to the golem and increase all attributes by 7 (speed by 1.5), while high-grade Stone Golem Potions increase all attributes by 10 (speed by 2.5), but at the same time, they will form a special magical shell made of gathered soul energy.

After all, this was created by Su Nan, and its life essence is very close to that of a formal wizard.

In the eyes of the church, a legitimate wizard is an evil being who has usurped the power of the gods!

With the Magic Suppression Shell, everything from Alexander's Gravity Blade to Gagui and Mario's magic will be enhanced, and Brown's Shield will also be strengthened, with its duration greatly increased.

Now, it can operate at full power for three minutes continuously!

It is three times the previous full-power continuous deployment time.
