Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 221: The Dimensional Battlefield Two Thousand Years Ago!

The petrifying witch partially lifted the curse on the three wizard apprentices of the Thunder Ring, but the curse remained on them, only manifesting as petrified spots resembling a skin disease.

As soon as the petrifying witch notices these guys behaving abnormally, she will activate the petrification curse, turning them into stone statues.

Su Nan also sealed their magical powers.

Then, the three men, leading the three prisoners, each chose a path and walked into a canyon road indicated by a stone tablet.

As Su Nan walked through the canyon of the "Path to Knowledge," halfway through, a fog suddenly rose up ahead, obscuring Su Nan's vision.

Su Nan immediately grabbed Elvis Allison's hand. "What's going on?"

Elvis said somewhat flusteredly, "I'm not sure. Our school hasn't entered this secret realm for a thousand years. After all, once the secret realm is opened, the magical energy within it will be lost, and before, without the magical tides, we didn't even have the ability to open it. Even if we had opened it, there wouldn't have been enough magical energy to power the secret realm."

"Therefore, we know very little about the secret realm. It's already quite remarkable that we Forsaken have managed to preserve a portion of our heritage without the magical tides."

"In the long past, there were times when our entire school was completely unable to cast spells. During those years, we ourselves began to doubt whether magic truly existed and was merely a figment of our ancestors' imaginations!"

Elvis said, "But I suspect this phenomenon might be spatial movement within a secret realm."

Su Nan said, "It can't be spatial teleportation. This is... a secret realm. This secret realm is a combination of secret realms, so we've been transferred to a space formed by special magic that's half secret realm and half secret realm."

Su Nan immediately realized what was going on.

By the way, in the secret realm, the wizard's magical power is even stronger, and many spells that are impossible to achieve in reality can be cast in the secret realm.

Therefore, the secret realm is naturally suitable as a place for trials.

However, Su Nan sensed that the magic he could cast was roughly the same as what he could cast in the material plane. But the magical abilities of the wizards undergoing trials here were undoubtedly amplified dramatically due to the special nature of the secret realm.

Su Nan immediately thought to himself, "AI, analyze why my magic didn't receive the amplification from the secret realm, and find ways to make my magic receive this amplification."

When the fog cleared, Su Nan saw that the surroundings were still filled with aurora borealis, and the ground was still covered with strangely colored rocks.

But this is no longer a barren, rocky valley.

A small building outpost appeared ahead, and many green-skinned orcs were stationed in that tent-like building outpost.

There was a barbecue grill in the green-skinned orc camp, and on the grill was a third-class wizard apprentice who was on the verge of death. At the same time, a meaty aroma wafted from his body, and hundreds of green-skinned orcs waiting nearby drooled.

Su Nan narrowed his eyes. "This is..."

At the same time, a voice appeared in Su Nan's ear.

【Apprentices of the Ring of Thunder, who have entered the path of trials, there is no better way to test the truth than through practice. In the midst of war, our knowledge and magical abilities will grow rapidly.】

This is a world from the past, conquered by the Energy World, but spared destruction due to its ferocious fighting power. It is a vast world of orcs captured by the Energy World and turned into its minions.

The Orcs, once invaded our world and caused us much harm.

Ultimately, we destroyed the Orcish Great World. Its fragments were scattered throughout the void.

[This is a partial battlefield we recreated using the Flashback Spell, several formal wizards, and special artifacts, from when the orcish world invaded our world.]

This entire region has a high level of magical energy, and the entire area is imprinted with a permanent first-circle spell—a magical magnetic field.

Breaking through your soul's limits here increases the chances by 30%.

[Furthermore, killing the orcs reflected in the image will yield many treasures. These include Breakthrough Lightning that can help you break through limits, artificial souls, and even Grimm's Water.]

[Kill a total of one hundred orcs to obtain a Limit Break Lightning.]

[Killing a total of 300 orcs will grant you one artificial soul.]

[Kill a total of one thousand orcs to receive a bottle of Grimm's Water!]

Descendants of the Ring of Thunder, never forget the invasions of the energy world we suffered, and the wounds we inflicted upon the orcs.

Forgetting history means abandoning the past, and abandoning the past means losing sight of the present.

We, the wizards of the Ring of Thunder, shall use our invincible lightning to explore knowledge amidst war and forge our own path forward.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "Using war to sustain war, exploring knowledge in battle? It seems that the Thunder Ring was once a very warlike wizarding organization."

"The Ring of Thunder once made a great contribution to resisting the invasion of the energy world."

A look of reminiscence crossed Elvis's eyes. "The Ring of Thunder has never retreated."

"The Forsaken are not all forced to remain on this land because of their lack of magical skill. Some wizarding organizations did not leave because they love this land. Others were abandoned by other wizarding organizations because they suffered too many losses in the war against the energy world and did not have enough resources to leave."

Su Nan glanced at Elvis Allison, then bowed slightly to the Path of Trials.

Elvis asked Su Nan curiously, "Foreign wizard, what are you doing here?"

Su Nan said in a low voice, "It's nothing, just expressing basic respect to the wizards of the Thunder Ring organization back then."

Elvis gave a strange smile. "Foreign wizards, dying here is truly certain death. I'm tied to you now, so you'd better not die here. Otherwise, I'm doomed too."

"Those orcs corrupted by the energy world are all born warlocks. They combined their traditions with warlocks and became shamans."

"The shamanic system is a magical system that originated from large-scale warfare..."

"Remember to kill as many orcs as possible. The more orcs you kill here, the more breakthrough resources you'll obtain."

Su Nan heard excited sounds coming from the orc stronghold ahead.

"Why are there wizards over there? Their flesh tastes delicious."

"Bring him here right now!"

"One wizard isn't nearly enough for us to share. These wizards have powerful magic, but their bodies are too fragile to withstand the attacks of our great orc warriors!"

Immediately, all one hundred orcs in the orc stronghold frantically picked up the heavy hammers on the ground and charged towards Su Nan.

At this time, Su Nan also used the AI ​​to check and found that the physical fitness of these orcs was basically above 2.5, which means that they were all orcs close to the level of senior knight squires, close to the level of formal storm knights.

This is equivalent to a hundred senior knight squires charging towards you at the same time.

This was the level of the enemy he encountered as soon as he entered the path of trials.

Even an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice would be at a loss if faced with so many knights and squires.

After all, a senior knight's squire is to a first-class wizard apprentice what a small dog is to a human.

But even if they are weak, if there are many of them, they will still pose a threat to ordinary first-class wizard apprentices.

Of course, this level is still no match for a first-class wizard apprentice who has generated magical pressure.

only……

Su Nan looked into the orc stronghold and saw a green-skinned orc wearing an animal skin skirt. He had a totem on his back and was beating an animal skin drum with two huge wooden sticks.

The sound of him striking the animal-hide drum seemed to coincide with Su Nan's heartbeat, and Su Nan's heartbeat also became faster and slower due to the rhythm of his beating, which made Su Nan feel strange.

This caused Su Nan's blood to rush to his head, his face to flush, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, a magical aura that looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex lit up on the totem behind the orc priest.

The essence of that Tyrannosaurus Rex caught up with the hundred orcs who were running wildly, and then collectively possessed the bodies of these orcs.

Then, the strength of all these orcs was increased by more than 3!

Moreover, these orcs seemed to have received superpowers from the Tyrannosaurus Rex's essence; their weapons were enchanted with a layer of green flames.

From that green light, Su Nan sensed a power similar to the cold wind and furious fire of the energy world.

It's just unknown which of the seven kings of the Energy World these orcs have pledged allegiance to.

Su Nan frowned.

No wonder it's said that shamans are a magical profession that originated from war.

The warlocks of the Orcish world are quite interesting, transforming their energy into power that amplifies the Chapter's strength.

In this way, it would be as if every orc in the vast world of orcs were a rare type of magical warrior when they invaded their own homeland of wizards and gods.

The wizard must have been caught off guard at first when faced with this enemy.

only……

Their own werewolf group happened to follow the same route.

Looking at the orc legion before him and the orc shaman who was incessantly beating his drum, making his heart race, Su Nan snapped his fingers and said to the three mutated werewolf hound beside him, "Shamanic system?"

"War system?"

"This is ridiculous. Why should I confront your legion head-on? The three of you go and kill that shaman, and bring me his head and totem."

Su Nan wanted to study the totem to see if he could come up with anything.

Instantly, all three mutated werewolf messengers transformed from their hound form into werewolf form.

The mutated werewolf messenger has a strength and constitution of 5.5 and a speed of 6.5, making its overall ability, in its normal state, twice that of these orcs. Coupled with its immortality, it could practically fight its way in and out seven times over, even without considering the effects of the opponent's green flames.

At this moment, the mutated werewolf messenger activated its magic power boost, gaining +5 to all attributes in the high magic environment. It also let out a series of wolf howls, first-tier rage, second-tier rage, third-tier rage, followed by a boil and a second boil.

Blood magic caused their bodies to continue to grow larger, while their bodies were filled with fire magic blood.

Then a mutated werewolf messenger ran forward and struck out with its claw.

A claw strike, equivalent to a power level of 0.7 or higher, using a force-based magic, sent a screaming orc warrior flying.

Then, like a bowling ball, the orc warrior knocked down all ten running orc warriors behind him!

Bang bang bang.

All three rows of orc warriors were blasted into the air. Then, three mutated werewolf messengers attacked the orc shamans in the stronghold.

The orc shaman's eyes revealed confusion and fear.

He didn't understand why the fighting style of the wizard apprentices in this region had suddenly changed so drastically.

Previously, he only needed to hide in the back and let the orc warriors rush in front of the wizard who could cast magic waves.

Because of the large number of orc warriors, wizards who cast magic waves are often surrounded by a group of orc warriors and unable to escape.

He could simply take the opportunity to beat the drums from behind, boosting the orc warriors' power.

But when faced with the werewolf messengers who were good at agility, Su Nan simply ordered the werewolf messengers to kill the shamans in the rear!

At the same time, Su Nan took out a bottle of black and white flame potion and used an injection spell to create a ring of fire in front of him, making it impossible for the orc warrior to get close.
