Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 186 High Death Knight

The next day, Peterhof Castle.

At this moment, Peter Castle has undergone tremendous changes due to the presence of 325 golems and the golem life forms that have undergone four ascensions.

The effect of [Rejuvenated Land] increases again.

The spiritual energy above Peter Castle was increasing every day. When Su Nan accidentally detected that a newborn baby in a commoner's family in his territory had some very minor wizarding talent, he suddenly realized that babies born in spiritually rich areas could even have some wizarding talent bonuses.

If Peterhof Castle continues to develop in this way, it may very well become a unique entity.

Meanwhile, Su Nan also kept ordering about five hundred ordinary lizardman slaves from underground to renovate the city walls for him at night.

After two months of renovation, a section of Peterhof Castle's wall has been transformed into a wall of metal bricks, and even some key parts have been made of still iron.

Sunan has decided to transform the castle into a steel fortress!

Meanwhile, he had the lizardman slaves build one hundred-meter-high metal tower after another in the castle at night. Bronze gargoyles would be placed on the top of these towers, and werewolf warriors, who were expected to appear in the future, would be responsible for the defense inside the towers.

In the future, there will be more and more gargoyles and ground golems inside the castle.

The main reason why the slave laborers in the underground world had to work at night was that these lizardmen had terrible eyesight during the day.

To be honest, even Su Nan is starting to think that the idea of ​​the underworld invading the surface world is a joke.

First, every lizardman must wear cotton clothes in the surface world to maintain their work efficiency.

Secondly, their daytime vision is so poor that even if they adapt, it is still not comparable to that of humans.

Su Nan felt that unless there were arcanists who could magically modify them, these underground races would really have a hard time adapting to life on the surface.

……

In the drill grounds of Peter Castle, Vasilyan is fighting Warwick.

Su Nan observed from the sidelines.

Vasilyan and Warwick fought back and forth, but Warwick was clearly more competitive, as he had gradually activated Shadowblood Charge and three rounds of Fury.

Vasilyan, on the other hand, relied on the Barrier of Death and the Black Blade to continuously defend and retaliate.

In the past three months, Vasilyan has increased his mental strength by more than 80 through a large number of mental potions. After Sunan gave him a high-level death knight potion, he quickly pushed his mental strength to 100.

It's not that he has amazing talent.

It's entirely because Su Nan, who obtained the Etherstone Mine, along with three types of spirit-enhancing potions, is simply too powerful.

As long as you have a basic talent, roughly enough, then you can start taking drugs...

The more you drink it, the better it feels, and the better it feels, the faster you improve.

Having obtained a large amount of data and magical resources from the underworld, Su Nan was able to easily overcome the problem of improving the mental strength of a first-class wizard apprentice, from 20 to 100.

Su Nan is wondering if he should go to the witch gathering soon and fry some fish at that gathering.

I imagine I should be able to obtain a considerable amount of magical resources.

At that time, Vasilyan had already mastered the Glacial Sleep meditation technique to a very high level, and he had learned the five accompanying spells.

And on a horse-drawn carriage, they created the Glacier Tomb.

It was just a battle in the training ground, a friendly sparring match with Warwick, which is why I didn't summon the undead or raise an undead army.

At that moment, Vasilyan made a horizontal slash, forcing Warwick to retreat. Warwick, seemingly influenced by his werewolf nature and too eager to win, actually activated Boiling, Second Boiling, and Third Boiling.

Vasilyan realized that Warwick was going all out, so he immediately focused all his mana on converting it into a Death Coil and tried to control Warwick with Death Coil.

Su Nan used his magical power to control the two people amidst the wolf pack effect.

Stop.

"Don't go beyond the necessary scope of sparring and testing. Although you are both immortal."

Warwick snapped out of his daze and reverted to his human form. He blinked and said to Vasilyan, "I'm sorry, Mr. Vasilyan."

"I was too focused on winning or losing just now."

"Luckily, my little master scolded me away."

Vasilyan seemed completely unperturbed, simply stating, "It's alright."

Su Nan said to Warwick, "It's the werewolf potion that's been enhanced four times, which has made Mr. Warwick too excited lately. This means there are still some of the potion's effects that haven't been fully absorbed."

Warwick said with deep shame, "I'm sorry, young master."

Su Nan said, "I accept your apology."

Su Nan looked at Vasilyan; the Death Knights had exceeded his expectations.

Firstly, the four ascensions of the Death Knight potion granted Vasily an increase of +3 to his Safety attribute and +20 to his Spirit attribute.

In other words, Vasilyan's strength is already 10, and his speed is also 10.

This character has a slightly higher base strength than werewolves, but werewolves have various abilities that amplify physical strength, so the fight is quite different.

Death Knights don't have that much increased melee power; instead, they are essentially typical magic knights.

Skills are balanced, and stats are balanced.

After becoming a High Death Knight, all of Vasilian's Death Knight skills were enhanced, except for the Glacial Sleep meditation system he had learned himself.

The Death Barrier has transformed into a Tier 3 Death Barrier infused with etheric elements. Its current strength has increased to an astonishing 200. Su Nan predicts that even spells below the first level of magic might not be able to break through this Tier 3 Death Barrier.

Because the Death Barrier is modeled after the energy shell of an energy being, if a Death Knight ascends to the fifth level, the Death Barrier could potentially grant immunity to first-level common spells.

Become a true wizard killer!

The black blade was also upgraded after the addition of etherstone.

Shape elements can enhance the power and quality of all magic.

Therefore, Vasilian's Black Blade can now provide a more powerful output of death and frost energy.

The Ghoul Token can summon four ghouls from a single corpse;

The Skeleton Centurion's command can summon eight skeleton warriors from a corpse;

The Ghost Scholar's Summoning ability can summon four Ghost Scholars from a single corpse.

High Death Knights also possess a Death Aura, which automatically regenerates all undead creatures and enhances their power.

Besides that, the biggest improvement is to [Second-Order Death Coil].

The second-order Death Coil, after being modified by the Etherstone and using the technique Su Nan obtained from the Shadow Wizard to infuse the body and soul with magical energy, has been completely transformed.

Death Coil is a very versatile skill; it can provide control, damage output, and healing.

Death Coil, when cast on an undead creature, can heal the undead creature and strengthen it.

This allows the Death Knights' undead forces to begin posing a threat to opponents of the same level.

When Death Coil is cast on an ordinary life form, it will deprive it of its life force and mobility. Weaker individuals will die instantly, while enemies of the same level will lose a portion of their life force and be temporarily trapped.

The Death Knight's ultimate ability, Blade of the Dead, has been upgraded to Advanced Blade of the Dead, which can provide higher damage output.

Basically, a High Death Knight is a fully enhanced version of a Mid Death Knight, but with the added benefits of Death Coil and the three major necromancy spells.

A change in combat style has already occurred.

It is now possible to raise a considerable undead army during battle.

The key is the death entanglement.

This magic was also used by Su Nan to scheme against the matriarch of the main city of Rye.

With all their legions having undergone four ascensions, even the Zerg swarm has found its direction and is basically in the stage of completing its fourth evolution. Even the direction of the fifth ascension is beginning to become clear.

Under these circumstances, Su Nan no longer needed to maintain the medium-intensity war that he deliberately controlled in the underground world.

He was going to get serious about the underworld, seizing all the magical resources of the Rye Underground Domain to prepare for his advancement to a formal wizard and the construction of a wizard's tower.

So, the rye matriarch is a problem.

In particular, the Rye Matriarch herself had a small plan to advance to the rank of Archmage.

Su Nan led Vasilyan into the underground world, where the organizational structure of the swarm, which had undergone four ascensions, changed once again.

Sunan and Vasilyan found a town of lizardmen slaves belonging to the Rye Matriarch.

These lizardmen launched a direct attack on Sunan and Vasilian.

Vasilyan stood at the entrance to the lizardman town in the underground world and said, "Death has come."

He used Death Coil directly on the twenty-odd lizardmen soldiers who were charging towards them with spears.

One after another, black tentacles rose from the ground.

The lizardmen soldiers were terrified.

"What is this?"

"It's wrapped around me, I can't breathe..."

"My heart won't beat... Ah!"

One lizardman soldier after another was directly stripped of their lives by these death tentacles.

One Death Coil wiped them all out.

Su Nan speculates that the current strength of Vasilyan's Death Coil is around 0.9 rings.

Because Vasilian not only possesses the power of a high-ranking death knight, he also has the ability to cultivate his own Glacial Sleep meditation technique.

At the same time, as these lizardmen soldiers fell, the energy generated by their deaths, along with their own energy, all transformed into blue raindrops that headed towards the distant Rye City.

Sunan and Vasilyan exchanged a glance.

That counts as a success.

Those killed by Vasilian's second-order Death Coil were just like those killed by his black blade. Therefore, all the energy in those lizardmen's bodies, including their souls and the faint energy generated at the time of their death, was corrupted by Vasilian's death magic.

And this energy, which has been contaminated by Vasilien, is now being absorbed into the ritual center of the Rye Mother!
