Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 254 The Abyss's Web-like Progressive Route

Anthony seemed unwilling to be captured like this, and he angrily said, "At least I still have the ability to escape."

Instantly, a burst of frost erupted from him, forming a shape resembling a frozen star, and the ten death knights were frozen solid.

The Frost Nova of the First Ring of the Psychic School!

However, his current vengeful spirit body cannot support the full casting of a first-level spell, so he only used half of it.

At that moment, Anthony, whose vengeful spirit body could no longer withstand the pressure of the spell and was beginning to collapse, reached out to Su Nan again, and a freezing power was about to descend upon Su Nan.

He was going to risk using Frost Nova one more time.

But the next moment, ten black blades pierced through the ice, sliced ​​through the frost, and formed swords of the dead, thrusting towards him.

Anthony was shocked. What?

He originally thought that Frost Nova could freeze those ten unfamiliar mid-level undead for a long time, but who knew that the ten death knights would get rid of them so quickly.

He was of course unaware that the Death Knights' Death Barriers all referenced Energy Shell technology, which naturally had a corrupting and restraining effect on spells.

He used less than half of his [Frost Nova] spell, which was far from enough to freeze the Death Knight for a long time.

Therefore, Anthony gave up on casting Frost Nova on Su Nan and was forced to cast Frost Nova again at his own feet, attempting to freeze the Death Knights once more.

Just then, Su Nan snapped his fingers, and the bottle of Aksha's Vortex Potion in his hand disappeared. Then, a purple energy bolt of magic struck Anthony from in front of Su Nan, suppressing all of his magic power and causing the soul fire in his wraith core to vibrate, leaving him stunned.

Ten swords of the dead were plunged into Anthony's body.

Mary breathed a sigh of relief. "Lord Sunan, you're amazing! That basically solves the problem of this town. All we need to do is find the Wizard's Tower..."

Su Nan stared at Anthony and said, "'Justice,' don't let your guard down."

"The interesting thing is about to happen. I finally understand how Anthony died more than two thousand years ago. Well, it was because of a treasure that two fellow disciples killed each other. But that treasure itself seems to have a problem."

At this moment, Anthony was severely injured, his whole body covered in wounds, and even the structure of the vengeful spirit was about to be destroyed.

The soulfire of an undead creature is a mixture of spiritual energy, death magic, obsession, resentment, and negative emotions in a special ratio.

Depending on the proportions, they will become different undead, each with different characteristics.

Of course, Death Knights, who possess a soul structure similar to that of humans, are not included in this category, nor are there some other special undead.

At this moment, Anthony's vengeful spirit was shrouded in a powerful energy world, forming a circle of resentment beneath its feet.

This resentment caused Anthony to continuously emit mental pollution, directed at everyone around him who could receive his resentment.

I want that treasure.

"I want to become a second-circle wizard. My aptitude isn't enough; I need that treasure. Brutus, your aptitude is better than mine, why won't you give me that treasure!"

I want that treasure.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow and said to Vasilyan and Mary, "I originally thought that he always mentioned that treasure to me intentionally or unintentionally in order to lure me into helping him find it. Now it seems that this was actually the core obsession he set when he transformed himself into a vengeful spirit. That's why he can't help but mention it to everyone he meets."

I overestimated him.

It turned out to be just his catchphrase, without any particular meaning.

Mary forced a smile as she watched Anthony warily, who had undergone a strange transformation.

At this moment, even more 'snowflakes' began to fall over the town.

The circle of resentment beneath the feet of the vengeful spirit Anthony transformed into a completely dark realm, and it seemed to have developed a unique gravity, causing the circle of resentment beneath his feet to begin to change abnormally, making the ground begin to cave inward.

Small bricks and dust particles in the surrounding area were sucked into this strange circle of resentment and fell into it.

Mary panicked and said helplessly, "This isn't psychic magic anymore."

Su Nan affirmed, "Yes, this is not psychic magic. It's another kind of power. A power from outside the wizarding civilization."

"AI, record the relevant data and analyze the composition of this force."

Yes, but the data is severely lacking, so the parsing process will be very slow.

The vengeful spirit 'Anthony' uttered a rough voice that didn't belong to him. 'Scum. I'm still planning to use this body.'

"Roar~"

"Abyssal Web-like Progressive Transformation~"

Suddenly, a series of special energies from the abyss circle beneath his feet flew out, enveloping him and turning him into a black egg-shaped object. Then, the black egg shattered, and a lich with a skeletal body, enveloped in dark death energy, appeared in the undead town.

It exudes magic power at the first level.

Mary gasped. "How is this possible? How is this possible? Even if I'm not a psychic wizard, I know that liches are the creation of the psychic school. Each lich requires a vast amount of magical resources and numerous rituals to be created. Each lich requires the creation of a phylactery and the transformation ritual."

"How could he instantly transform from a vengeful spirit into a lich? That doesn't make sense. That doesn't conform to the laws of magic."

"This is impossible. The rules of magic have been broken."

Southern Jiangsu observed this phenomenon with great interest, believing that its existence implies its own rationale.

However, it seems that the chaotic energy characteristics of that energy world are inherently adept at breaking rules and altering rules within the magic system that are inherently impossible to break.

To draw an analogy, Anthony's actions just now were equivalent to breaking the law of energy balance in science.

Indeed, even in my own understanding, it is impossible for a wizard to so easily transform from a mid-level vengeful spirit mage in the undead system into a high-level undead—a lich.

It's almost like it's evolving haphazardly, full of chaotic characteristics.

Is this what they call the "Abyssal Web Progressive Transformation"?

Su Nan looked at 'Anthony' and said, "No matter who you are, the fact that you've appeared means I was wrong about something. I originally thought Anthony and Brutus died around the same time, and that Anthony died because of a contingency plan arranged by Brutus."

"But now it seems that Anthony died at your hands."

"I'm afraid that after successfully betraying Brutus, Anthony has already obtained that so-called treasure."

"But there was something wrong with that treasure, so he's already dead."

"But as a psychic wizard, even after death, he can transform himself into other life forms and continue to live, although some of his memories have been altered."

"This also fits the chaotic nature of your world."

The lich 'Antony' raised his right hand towards Su Nan, and Su Nan immediately felt the surroundings become extremely cold as the complete first-circle spell 'Frost Nova' descended upon him.

A frost star appeared, but Vasilyan immediately stood in front of Su Nan, raised his black blade, and forcibly blocked the lich spell. However, his own body was frozen in ice.
