Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 253 Taming the Skeleton Dragon, the Death Knight's Mount

As the skeletal dragon approached Su Nan and attacked him with its massive skeletal claws, the soul fire in the Skeleton King's eye sockets flickered. The next moment, he rushed behind Su Nan and shouted, "Master, I'll shield you from its attack. I'll protect you!"

This is the perfect opportunity for him to demonstrate his loyalty!

There was no response from Sunan.

The next moment, Skeleton King was sent flying by the Bone Dragon's bone wings. Skeleton King rolled on the ground, his bones almost falling apart, three ribs in his chest were broken, and his soul fire was also hit by the Bone Dragon and fell into a shock, flickering constantly, causing him to sit on the ground and start to feel confused.

"What immense power! I was just slapped, and my soul fire trembled violently, rendering me unable to move."

"Oh no, my master..."

It is not a melee-type skeleton to begin with, and the skeletal dragon was transformed from a first-ringed dragon creature in its previous life. It only fell from the first ring due to the loss of a lot of power during death and transformation.

Dragon-like creatures naturally possess powerful bodies, and even dragon breath is their signature skill.

The next moment, the Bone King's soul fire pulsed even more violently.

Because he saw Vasilyan appear beside Sunan, simply raising his left hand and easily blocking the terrifying skeletal dragon's claw attack with his black blade.

The dragon claw, as large as a house, came crashing down, but it was easily blocked and its enormous impact neutralized with just a slender black blade.

"Roar~"

The skeletal dragon roared angrily, and the huge gust of air made the Death Barrier Cloak behind Vasilian flutter in the wind, but not a single gust of air passed around Su Nan, who was standing behind Vasilian.

Even the skeletal dragon seemed puzzled. Its size was like a small building, while Vasilyan was only the size of an ordinary knight.

But even such a tiny being was able to withstand its enormous dragon claws.

A deep, ominous power of death swirled around the skeletal dragon's entire skeleton.

Then, the skeletal dragon launched a series of attacks on Vasilian with its bone wings and claws.

Each strike causes the earth to tremble.

Vasilyan, using only his left hand, not even his dominant hand, casually swung his black blade, effortlessly dealing with all the attacks from the skeletal dragon.

Each collision of the enormous dragon claws and the bombardment of immense death magic were easily neutralized by a slender, light black blade.

Both the Skeleton King and Mayor Anthony watched this shocking scene in astonishment.

Mayor Anthony, a sorcerer of the psychic school and a fellow disciple of Brutus, understood the meaning of this scene better than the Skeleton King.

That skeletal dragon, with just a few more amplification spells from the necromancer, could rival a first-ring wizard; it was the masterpiece of a first-ring necromancer.

Even without its master, the black-armored knight was far too easily resisting. He was treating a skeletal dragon nearing the first ring as if he were dealing with a child!

As a psychic wizard, Anthony stared blankly at Su Nan. He could sense that the life essence of this wizard was extremely young, only about seventeen years old.

Could it be that this guy has created a new, advanced type of undead?

A surge of intense jealousy welled up within Anthony.

As an undead, Anthony's physical constitution was different from that of humans, making him more prone to negative thoughts and more extreme in his emotions.

He is now the undead Anthony, not the wizard Anthony.

Although, even when he was alive, he was prone to jealousy.

The skeletal dragon flew backward more than three meters, warily distancing itself from the Death Knight Vasilian. Suddenly, the soul fire within its head surged, filling the skeletal portion of its chest.

Then, these soulfires reorganized and constructed according to a specific trajectory, and then suddenly roared at Vasilian and Sunan, spewing out a soulfire dragon breath.

This is Soulfire Dragon Breath, which is equivalent to a first-level spell!

A massive amount of ghostly blue soul fire engulfed Vasilian.

Behind Vasilyan, a black-and-red cloak of death barrier fluttered, using a perpetual force field to block all the soul fires in front of him.

Like a wall of life and death, it blocked all attacks behind Su Nan. And Su Nan didn't even glance back at the location of the skeletal dragon from beginning to end.

It was as if the powerful skeletal dragon was something that never needed to be worried about.

Meanwhile, Mary, the "righteous" witch who was standing next to Su Nan, kept her eyes fixed on the skeletal dragon, as if afraid that it would crash down on her.

From observing the scene of the Skeleton King being knocked away by the Bone Dragon, she deduced that if she herself had taken one of the Bone Dragon's attacks, she would probably lose half her life!

The skeletal dragon suddenly spewed out soul-fire dragon breath as it charged toward Vasilian, extending its dragon claws toward him.

*Bang!*

Vasilyan gripped the black blade in his right hand, blocking the skeletal dragon.

At the same time, the black blade completely neutralized the attack force of the skeletal dragon, but its momentum did not diminish, transforming into a spiraling upward wind of death energy that enveloped the entire skeletal dragon.

The skeletal dragon let out a painful howl, and the soul fire within its skull vibrated incessantly.

But the skeletal dragon still tried to attack again, and swung its skeletal tail at Vasilien.

"I see. So you must fulfill your duty to protect this town?" Vasilyan grabbed the dragon's tail with his left hand, then used his right hand to slash at the soul fire of the skeletal dragon with his black sword. After splitting the soul fire, he grabbed the entire tail of the skeletal dragon and slammed it to the ground.

The massive skeletal body smashed down four or five partially collapsed buildings.

Vasilyan instantly leaped onto the skeletal dragon's body and plunged his black blade into the dragon's unfolding soulfire. "Dragon, I can sense your unwavering resolve to protect this town. But you should also understand that I share the same duty."

"I will absolutely not let you get any closer to my master."

Vasilyan forcibly imprinted his own soul imprint into the skeletal dragon's soul fire, intending to erase the original soul imprint of Brutus that had been left within it.

The soul imprint left by Brutus within its soul fire has actually become very weak after more than two thousand years.

This skeletal dragon itself has extended its lifespan by constantly devouring the soul fire of the undead skeletons in the undead town, this land of the dead.

The skeletal dragon let out a painful roar, and then its gaze toward Vasilian gradually softened from hostility.

A minute later, Vasilyan said to Sunan, "Master, I have tamed the Bone Dragon. It's quite good as my mount, and it matches my personality well."

Su Nan nodded. "Yes. Well done."

The Skeleton King sat on the ground, shook his head to clear his mind, and looked at Su Nan, who hadn't turned around or looked at him from beginning to end.

The Skeleton King felt bitter. He had really made a fool of himself just now. Not only had he failed to show anything in front of his master, but he had also lost face.

On the dilapidated streets of the deep undead town.

At this moment, ten Death Knights had already placed their black knives against Anthony's neck, forcing him to remain still.

Su Nan said to Anthony, "Now, you can tell me about that treasure you mentioned. You deliberately revealed its existence to me before, and that it's located in the hidden wizard tower. Your purpose was probably to get me to help you find it. However, if I catch you, none of this seems to matter."

Su Nan opened the [Spiritual Vision] and observed Anthony's current body. First of all, he was still in the state of a vengeful spirit, with very little magic power left, only a little bit.

Moreover, the body of a vengeful spirit does not have a permanent defensive force field.

He is completely dead.

What caught Su Nan's attention was that Anthony possessed a powerful, alien energy. That energy belonged to the energy world, which was the snowflake-like substance that was drifting in the sky above the deep undead town, resembling completely burned coal ash.

This means that the energy world currently enveloping this town entered this town of the dead through the body of the vengeful spirit Anthony.

Su Nan wanted to figure this out, to understand what exactly happened here more than two thousand years ago, and the best breakthrough point was Anthony.

Judging from the previous tests, Anthony himself didn't seem to realize that this energy was hidden within his vengeful spirit body.

This suggests that Anthony's death more than two thousand years ago was likely related to this.
