Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 23 Storm Prayer

Gus Pasha spurred his horse toward the Maple Leaf Town military camp.

He took the lead, steeding his warhorse toward a werewolf messenger, while Knight Harlan and the other guards could only follow.

Although they could choose to run away now.

But both Gus Pasha and Knight Harun harbored a kind of arrogance.

They are Storm Knights.

They are the storm god's military representatives on earth, lords of the mortal realm. Every storm knight is a person of strong character.

Their ancestors crossed mountains and seas, and traversed many countries, to come to this land of the God of Law, to expand their territory and establish the Storm Kingdom that exists today.

No one who is a Storm Rider can be a coward.

Because the Storm God favors those who are exceptionally brave, only the brave can gain the Storm God's favor and become a formal knight through daily faith and training.

Su Nan also realized that his real enemy had arrived.

Storm Riders may not be good at governing their territories, and they may not be very bright, but they are all warriors.

Standing on the hillside, Su Nan said to Warwick and Pera, "It's almost our turn. Mr. Warwick, Ms. Pera, if you're scared, I can go alone."

With the combined power of the Sacrifice Hand and the werewolf leader, along with the Ghost Potion and the Sleep Potion, Su Nan was confident he could take down the two knights.

Warwick laughed and said, "Young master, what are you saying? Robert and I have been learning combat techniques for so long, all for this moment."

"If I don't go, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"I can finally deal with those two traitors, Harren and Guts, myself."

Pera also mustered her courage and said, "Little master, I won't let you face the enemy alone either."

Su Nan nodded, thinking to himself, "AI, begin recording the experimental data from the first encounter with a formal knight. Observe their panel data and the knights' prayer abilities."

The file is named "Werewolf Legion File No. 5".

Sunan said to the two men and Robert, "Now that their army has been basically wiped out, I'll use the werewolf messengers to test their combat strength and fighting style, at least to force them to use the Storm Rider's [Prayer]."

Caution is the best policy.

Su Nan didn't want anything to go wrong because of carelessness.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

Furthermore, he also needs to continue collecting battle records of werewolf messengers versus official storm riders, as these records are extremely useful.

On the battlefield below the hillside.

In the military camp, Guts Pasha took the lead and charged towards a werewolf messenger, but before he could get close, the werewolf messenger suddenly turned his head in the firelight and stared at the warhorse beneath Guts Pasha with his scarlet eyes.

Immediately, Gus Pasha's warhorse reared up in fright and stopped moving forward.

Gus Pasha tried to clench his saddle to soothe his horse, but what usually worked was now completely ineffective.

Gus Pasha tried several times, but he didn't realize that his warhorse was frightened on a spiritual level by the werewolf messenger's spell-like ability, [Control the Pack], something that no amount of riding skill could compensate for.

This warhorse is no longer fit for battle.

"Damn monster." Gus Pasha jumped off his horse and, the instant the werewolf messenger pounced on him, brandished two nearly three-meter-long knight's swords, which were almost like knight's lances, but as he swung them, they danced like two blades of a fan.

In an instant, it pierced many wounds on the werewolf messenger.

At the same time, the contest between the two also made Guts Pasha aware of the power of this werewolf messenger who had unleashed his fury.

What made Jean-Germain Pasha raise his eyebrows was that this monster's strength was only slightly weaker than his own.

The werewolf messenger, now enraged, had already sustained numerous injuries during the continuous battles, pushing his physical abilities to their limits.

Therefore, when it fought Gus Pasha, its strength value had already reached 3.

Gus Pasha turned to look at the werewolf messengers in the military camp, slaughtering his soldiers; the power of a single monster was enough to get close to him…

But there are many more of these monsters.

How exactly did that young baron gain the allegiance of these monsters?

Guts Pasha brandished his two two-handed knight swords, slashing at the werewolf messenger again and again. Although the two were evenly matched, he possessed the martial arts skills he had honed over decades.

Even if the stats on both sides are similar, their martial arts skills are worlds apart.

But Gus Pasha remained extremely serious, because he noticed that the werewolf messenger's wounds were healing rapidly.

This signifies one thing.

That frail priest was indeed talking nonsense.

What holy water?

It's completely useless.

Gus Pasha felt like he'd been tricked, but since he was already on the battlefield, he didn't have a chance to run back to the church, drag the priest out, and settle the score with him.

Gus Pasha slashed down with his sword, severing the left arm of the werewolf messenger in front of him, and at the same time, he severed the werewolf messenger's right leg with another stroke.

The werewolf messenger quickly picked up the severed limb from the ground and put it back on.

Meanwhile, Guts Pasha saw out of the corner of his eye that at least seven werewolf messengers were surrounding him.

Moreover, he didn't know when, but dozens of ordinary wolves were surrounding him, staring at him with eerie green eyes.

"Monsters, die!" Gus Pasha turned around, his arms fully outstretched. The length of his two-handed knight swords, combined with the width of his shoulders and his superhuman strength, formed a giant humanoid slicing machine.

The air itself made a sharp sound as it was being rapidly cut.

A shockwave formed about seven meters from Gus Pasha's center.

In an instant, all seven werewolf messengers leaped into the air to prevent themselves from being cut in half at the waist by Guts Pasha.

The power of the Storm Rider is evident.

As the seven werewolves leaped into the air, Guts Pasha swung his two-handed knight's sword, hacking wildly through the air like slicing vegetables, trying to suppress some of the werewolf messengers.

Since even with severed arms and legs, these monsters cannot be killed.

What about beheading?

But the seven werewolf messengers in the air received Su Nan's command in an instant and all changed back into their ordinary hound forms.

These dogs, which had transformed back into German Shepherd-like hounds, leaped nimbly through the air, even landing on Guts Pasha's sword before landing back on the ground. They then transformed back into werewolf messenger forms and pounced on Guts Pasha.

Gus Pasha was slightly taken aback, because just now, because Su Nan directly used the wolf pack effect to contact the seven werewolves at once, the fluctuation of magic power was obvious. Therefore, Gus Pasha vaguely felt that he was not only fighting against the seven monsters, but that there was someone remotely controlling and directing them from thousands of miles away.

Moreover, just now Gus Pasha saw that the seven monsters had all turned into hounds...

"No!" Gus Pasha roared, swinging his twin swords wildly as he was consumed by deep humiliation and rage.

So, he's been fighting with Su Nan's dog the whole time?

He is the Storm Knight, a knight lord in the eyes of mortals. But is it possible that someone as high and mighty as him can only fight with a few dogs from Su Nan at this moment?

Could these monsters of unknown origin be just dogs kept by Su Nan?

Do not!

Who exactly is Su Nan?

The fierce storm knight suddenly felt a surge of fear within him. He quickly suppressed it, then, with a fierce but ultimately weak expression, raised his knight's sword diagonally upwards with his right hand and downwards with his left. "Before the storm descends, I pray to the god of storms—"

"Grant me a keen mind to seize every opportunity in a fleeting moment. Grant me the spirit of the storm, to be as swift as lightning."

"I am willing to defeat every one of your enemies for you."

Su Nan quickly ordered the seven werewolf messengers to retreat.

To the average person, Gus Pasha was simply maintaining a particular pose and saying a few words.

But Su Nan could sense that, at a certain moment, Gus Pasha gave him a different feeling.

It's as if he himself is mixed with something.

It's like a basin of clear water being stained by a drop of ink.

However, I was finally forced to do it.

On the hillside, Su Nan thought to himself: 'AI, analyze and record the Storm Knight's Prayer skill.'

Gus Pasha opened his eyes and looked at the seven werewolf messengers. He easily avoided the pincer attack of the three werewolf messengers. After using Storm Prayer, his reaction speed became very fast.

His basic physical condition has not changed at all.

The only thing that changed was his nerve reaction speed.

With his doubled reaction speed, he wielded his heavy and excessively long swords as skillfully as if they were two kitchen knives. The seven werewolf messengers, who had already entered berserk mode and whose physical attributes had doubled, were completely suppressed by him.

Three minutes later, all the werewolf messengers were wounded.

If it weren't for his immortality, he would have been half dead already.

However, under Su Nan's precise manipulation, every time Gus Pasha was about to cut off the head of a werewolf messenger, he would be interrupted by the other werewolf messengers' mutually destructive attacks.

Gus Pasha was bloodthirsty. "So cautious? They haven't shown up yet."

"Southern Jiangsu".

"Or are you saying you don't... take me seriously?"

With a turn, he once again unleashed a massive, seven-meter-wide circular slash around himself, cleaving three ordinary wolves that had stealthily approached him, attempting to attack.

At the same time, Gus Pasha, panting heavily, saw the seven werewolf messengers retreating. He seemed to sense something and turned to look at Sunan, who was walking from the other side of the camp.

Su Nan looked at him and said, "I see. The Storm Prayer ability seems to consume a lot of physical strength. It uses physical strength to exchange for nerve reaction speed, but it can increase your nerve reaction speed by more than three times."

"How many kinds of storm prayers are there, Gus Pasha?"

"However, Gus Pasha, since you have pledged allegiance to me before the Storm God, you should not use this power against me. This is also a blasphemy against the Storm God."
