Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 20 Fury Spell and Obtaining the Heart of a Knight's Squire

The wolves swarmed forward. The soldiers, who were fully armed, were not afraid of the wolves at all. However, before they could be dealt with, some soldiers infected with wolf venom began to show symptoms, disrupting their formation.

The werewolf messenger, who had been hiding in the jungle, was no longer concealed under Su Nan's command through the wolf pack effect. He appeared directly in front of everyone and began to attack the soldiers, inflicting wounds on them and infecting them with wolf venom.

Valen and the militia captain stared at the monstrous, wolf-like creature that grotesquely lurked in the daylight, and were so terrified that they held their breath for a moment.

Valen's eyes widened; he hadn't expected that such inhuman monsters actually existed in this world.

"By the Lord of Storms," ​​Valen prayed, placing the hilt of his sword on his forehead. "Scatter, scatter quickly."

He quickly realized that forming a square formation was the right thing to do when facing ordinary knights and squires.

However, if the opponent is a powerful monster with venomous claws, then piling all the soldiers together would be a serious strategic mistake.

With just a flick of its claws, that monster could infect two or three soldiers with wolf poison.

Moreover, that monster could command ordinary wolves to charge into the formation and create chaos.

The militia captain sensed something was wrong and tried to escape, but just as he turned his horse around to flee, the monster charged straight at him, crashing into his warhorse and his body.

A man and his horse were knocked over and thrown off balance.

Valen's squire immediately tried to urge his horse forward, but the werewolf messenger brutally raised his head, revealing scarlet eyes, which startled Valen's horse, causing it to neigh and rear up in fright.

Valen gripped the reins tightly, but found that his warhorse refused to move forward. "Damn it."

The next instant, the werewolf messenger pounced on him, but Valen abandoned his warhorse and rolled on the ground to dodge the werewolf messenger's attack.

At the same time, he quickly got up from the ground and fired two arrows at lightning speed behind him. Both arrows pierced through the werewolf messenger's body, causing the werewolf messenger, who had just collapsed onto his warhorse, to fall before he could even get up.

The arrows, from the veteran knight squire Valen, each contained immense power, like bolts fired from a small ballista.

Valen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the monster fall to the ground, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank as the werewolf messenger got up from the ground.

It appeared extremely angry.

He bared his teeth at Valen and let out a dangerous roar.

At the same time, it gripped the two iron-tipped arrows in its chest with its wolf claws, howling as it pulled the two arrows from its body.

Valen watched this scene, his face covered in blood, his brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly. "Damn it."

"Is this monster immortal?"

"How is this possible? How could such a monster exist in this world?"

Meanwhile, Su Nan, who was standing by the attic window, witnessed this scene through the wolf pack effect.

"I see. The essence of the wolf-controlling potion is the data I obtained by having the AI ​​scan the body of the Guardian of Or. Therefore, it is essentially commanding the wolf pack at the soul level."

"Therefore, I specifically had the werewolf messenger use [Manipulate Wolves] on that knight's squire's warhorse, so the warhorse was terrified and unable to move, and launched an attack on my werewolf messenger."

"Because my werewolf messenger, while unable to control it on a spiritual level, intimidated it."

"But this level of intimidation shouldn't have any effect on the knight's squire. I had the werewolf messenger use [Manipulate the Wolf Pack] a second time on that knight's squire, but it only angered him and even pushed him into a more combative state."

"For beings with advanced intelligence like humans, this level of soul-based magic can at most only serve to provoke and enrage them."

Essentially, this ability to manipulate wolves can be considered an additional spell-like ability.

Su Nan not only resurrected werewolves that had disappeared and only existed in ancient books and miscellaneous books through artificial intelligence, but also continuously improved and strengthened the original werewolves through artificial intelligence and magic potions.

Su Nan observed that the enemy on the battlefield was almost completely wiped out.

Now, only the final experimental project remains.

Send a werewolf messenger to directly confront a veteran knight's squire and collect relevant combat data.

Using the wolf pack mentality, Su Nan commanded, "Go! My loyal servant."

Su Nan looked at the arrow bearing the Pasha family crest on the manor gate at the edge of the castle. "I want his life."

In the jungle battlefield more than a thousand meters away, after Valen Pasha dismounted, he used his secondary weapon, a dagger, to clash with the werewolf messenger's claws.

He was pleasantly surprised to discover that his opponent's strength was far inferior to his own.

Su Nan had already used the wolf pack effect to have the AI ​​scan his relevant data—

【Strength: 2.3】

【Speed: 1.9】

[Physical Fitness: 2.3]

This level of skill is already considered very high for a knight's squire, placing him among the strongest.

In any case, Robert's data is far inferior to his.

Even the previous Horned Rat Knight attendants were far inferior to him.

Most knight squires have stats between 1 and 2, but Valen has two stats that exceed 2, and his agility is also very close to 2.

Therefore, the werewolf messenger was absolutely suppressed in close combat with him.

After Valen overwhelmed the werewolf messenger in melee combat, he quickly retreated, took out his bow and arrows from his back, and shot the werewolf messenger in the head with another arrow.

This arrow caused a penetrating wound.

It went straight through the werewolf messenger's eyes and into its brain.

Generally speaking, when a battle reaches this point, it can be considered over.

The Valen Knights' squires achieved a complete victory.

But under the expectant gaze of the Valen Knights' squire, the werewolf messenger grasped the arrow piercing its skull and slowly pulled it out again.

Valen, the knight's squire, felt his heart sink to the bottom.

What kind of monster is this?

Does this mean that only those weak-bodied priests in churches can kill this monster?

By the God of Storms, he had fought on the battlefield for so many years and had never encountered such a monster.

"Could it be that the person behind the attack on Maple Leaf Town is really the Little Baron? Is this monster... kept by the Peter family?" Valen Pasha was already thinking about escaping. He felt that at least his physical abilities were enough to suppress the monster, so escaping was possible.

He simply cannot find a way to kill the other party.

This monster didn't die even after its head was shot through.

Perhaps he should run to the church of the Storm God; maybe, as the priest said, the church can banish all the monsters.

However, Valen did not notice that the werewolf messenger's golden circle pupils had turned into a golden-red color, and the golden-red circle pupils suddenly shrank.

All the wounds on the werewolf messenger's body are healing at an even faster rate.

It roared, and its blood seemed to boil.

It became faster, stronger, less afraid of injury or death, and enjoyed pain more.

This is... unleashing rage!

The werewolf messenger pounced suddenly, this time using a trade-off strategy, and Valen struggled more and more as he fought, realizing that his opponent was getting stronger.

After all, the maximum strength value of the werewolf courier when he activates Fury is 3!

About three minutes later, the heavily injured Valen was sent flying by a claw from the equally injured werewolf messenger, landing on a tree. The tree, unable to bear the weight, snapped in two.

The werewolf messenger leaped forward, followed up with an attack, and stomped on his chest with a claw, killing him.

One of the Pasha family’s key pillars died at the hands of a werewolf messenger—a hunting dog owned by Sunan.

The werewolf messenger who killed Valen listened intently, and then, at Sunan's command, tore Valen's chest open with the claws of his hind legs, ripping out his heart.

Inside the attic, Su Nan said to the AI, "So, it can be assumed that the knight's squire had an abnormality in his heart. Could this be because he was close to a full-fledged knight, causing a mutation in his heart?"

Yes. Obtaining this heart, which has already undergone some mutations, might be very beneficial for us in developing new potion formulas.

After all, in this world, besides wizards, the most unusual thing is knights like these.
