Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 256 Madness and the Ring of Myrcart

*Bang!*

The Balor Flame Demon transformed into a shooting star, crashing to the ground and igniting the surrounding death energy, turning the ground into a sea of ​​fire.

It must be said that the energy field of the Balrog is far more powerful than that of the succubus.

Even after being hit by forty shots of the Wrath of the Fire Demon at the same time, the Balor Flame Demon only had his energy shell temporarily broken and was covered in wounds.

"I've been away from this world for so long that I never knew magic had become such a monstrosity. It turns out that wizards no longer need to cast spells themselves; they can just use a few megaphone-like objects to cast a first-level spell on me?"

Balrog crawled out of the pit and reassembled his greatsword. Balrog was engulfed in chaotic fire—mad fire—powerful enough to ignite anything.

Therefore, Balrogs are a core demon race in the Abyss.

The Balrog race is one of the most powerful demon races in the abyss.

The higher the level of the Balor Flame Demon, the higher the temperature of its raging flames.

The Balrog, a first-ring level Balrog, has a mad fire temperature of around four thousand degrees Celsius. This caused the area where it fell to melt all the rocks, turning it into a lava-like place.

This is what makes Balrog so terrifying.

But when Balrog 'Anthony' got up again, he saw that Sunan had summoned Mario and Gagui. At this moment, Mario continued to fire at him with the floating griffin cannon.

The wrath of the fire demon exploded on the Balrog.

Essentially, although both are flames, they are completely different flames. The Wrath of the Fire Demon is a magical flame, while the Mad Flame is an abyssal flame.

Therefore, if the Fire Demon's Fury bombards the Balrog too much, it will cause great damage to the Balrog.

However, Balrog's performance against the wrath of the fire demon will definitely be much better than that of the succubus just now.

"Damn it." Balrog noticed that the griffin cannon was still firing at him. This time, he didn't dare to confront it head-on and began to retreat quickly to avoid the attacks.

The next moment, Vasilyan stood in front of him, using the Sword of the Dead to condense a black blade and clashed with him. The Blazing Fire Sword and the Death Knight's Sword collided.

It created a sharp sword wind.

All the bricks and stones within a 50-meter radius of the two points were blown away.

Three two-story marble houses near them collapsed in the clash of their energies.

The three cannons of Fire Demon's Fury exploded behind Balrog, supporting Vasilian.

Taking advantage of the situation, Vasilyan used Death Coil on Balrog, attempting to drain his mobility and life force.

However, an accident occurred. As soon as Death Coil made contact with Balrog, it was ignited by the flames on Balrog's body, and all three powerful death energy tentacles burst into flames.

Balrog raised his two-handed greatsword to block Vasilyian's black blade, then rammed it away with his terrifying body. "Get out of my way!"

Even a legendary death knight was ignited upon contact with the Balrog, requiring a massive amount of death magic to suppress the flames, roughly a 100:1 ratio, before the mad fire could be extinguished.

However, this also greatly depleted Vasilyan's resources, making him hesitant to approach his opponent and engage in close combat.

The power of the mad fire is terrifying.

Meanwhile, Balor, while being delayed by Vasilien, was hit in the back by two cannon shots of Fire Demon's Wrath.

The flames on the Balrog had dimmed considerably, indicating that the Balrog was beginning to tire after being attacked repeatedly.

At the same time, Gagui fused five bottles of Fire Demon's Fury, accelerated the compression through the Tesla valve, and turned the flames into a beam of fire that shot directly from the air onto the head of the Balor Fire Demon who was trying to break through!

The Balrog 'Anthony' let out a curse.

"This wizard... has too many tricks up his sleeve."

In an instant, highly concentrated magical flame energy struck him, knocking him directly into the ground.

Moreover, the two horns on his head that represented the demon were broken off, and the two-handed flaming greatsword in his hands was also broken again.

This Balrog, which initially had enormous flames resembling a furnace, now had dimmed flames, as if it had just returned from a swim in the ocean. The flames had almost disappeared, revealing its red demonic skin.

He tried to climb out of the pit. But the final blast of Fire Demon's Wrath struck him in the chest, knocking the Balor Fire Demon back into the pit.

"That hateful wizard."

"In the past, I could have killed a wizard of your caliber with a flick of my finger."

"In the past, you would have even revered me as a god."

"Traitor, wizard, undead lord, you are all despicable."

Balrog tried to climb out of the pit again, but Su Nan immediately used three bottles of Aksha's Vortex to summon three magical lightning bolts that struck the heavily injured Balrog in the chest, knocking him back into the pit.

As the Balrog tried to climb out of the pit once more, Vasilian, behind him, used the Sword of the Dead to slash him again with his black blade.

And so, five more rounds passed.

The Balrog looked at Su Nan with resentment, probably knowing that Su Nan wouldn't let him climb out of the deep pit he had created by being knocked to the ground.

"Wizard, you've gone too far."

"You should at least show me some respect! I am the ancient Myrcart, a being once called a 'god,' a being once served by a divine family, a lord of the abyss plane, a being who once…"

Su Nan raised an eyebrow, stood outside the pit, looked down at him, and said, "Well, Mylcat, you have far too much of a past."

"Whether you're bragging or not, you're now just a defeated opponent of mine."

Myrcator was instantly thrown off balance and flew into a rage. "Wizard, what do you know? You're so young, of course you don't understand. You can have your peak, and you can have your trough, but if you have a trough, you will definitely have a peak. I am an immortal being, and even my former enemies could not destroy me."

"As long as I live, I will definitely be able to return to my peak. Offending an immortal will do you no good; immortals never lack opportunities, never will!"

The next moment, Vasilyan pierced his chest, lifted him up into the air, and then slammed the knife down to the ground.

The Balrog's eyes slowly dimmed.

Vasilyan stepped on the head of the Balrog and said, "I killed a Balrog with my own hands."

As the Balrog died, a ring fell from its finger.

Su Nan immediately looked at the ring, thinking that this must be the treasure that the wizard Anthony had mentioned, the reason for Brutus's death, and even the culprit that summoned the power of the abyss, the source of the self-proclaimed god of the past, the former lord of the abyss plane, and the current immortal Myrcart.

The ring is shaped like a cobra with its head and tail coiled around it. It is made of a special metal, a yellow metal that Su Nan has never seen anywhere else.

The head of the ring features the image of a cobra.

As Su Nan examined the ring, a line of magical text suddenly appeared on the inside of the ring—

When you look at this ring, the ring is also looking at you.

This is the Ring of Myrcart. By wearing it and reciting the following incantation, one can enhance their potential and break through to the level of a formal wizard.

[Incantation: Coastline, City, Astarte, Tyre, Soul, Commerce, Trade, Hiran, I surrender to the oldest god, Myrcat.]

Su Nan walked to the ring, and suddenly the voice of Mylkaat, who had disappeared with Balrog, seemed to reappear in his ears.

"Wizard, please wear this ring, and you will gain all my wisdom. I will guide you to become a second-circle wizard."

"Wizard, you are different from that fool Anthony. Anthony did gain power, but his mind couldn't handle it, and so he died."

"Wizard, your talent is different from Anthony's. A genius like you can do anything. This ring is prepared for a genius like you."

"This is a Myrcart ring, prepared for wizarding geniuses."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow and whispered, "Is this how you seduced the wizard Anthony, then ambushed and killed his friend, the wizard Brutus?"

"Unfortunately, you're right about one thing: Anthony and I are indeed different."

"I don't need an external object like a ring to enhance my potential; I'm more confident than him. Besides, if I really needed something from you, I could just study this ring myself. I don't need you."

Su Nan took out a bottle of century-old sleeping potion and chanted a spell. Instantly, the curse of the sleeping spell enveloped the Myrcart Ring and then penetrated into it.

The Ring of Myrcart reacted strongly; the entire ring was vibrating.

A giant cobra illusion appeared before Su Nan. The head of this cobra was a human eye, an overlap of the image of a person and a snake, with the overlapping parts being the human eye and the snake eye.

In addition, the head of this person is a complete 100-meter-long cobra, and the head of the cobra is this person.

Myrcart's illusion roared at Su Nan, "No, you need to wear this ring. Once you wear this ring, you will become a second-circle wizard."

"Young wizard, you need me!"

"Alright, when you're stuck at the limits of a first-ring wizard for a long time, wasting your lifespan and accomplishing nothing, that's when you should come to me for help."

"Hahahaha... As an immortal being, I will patiently wait for that moment."

The next moment, his illusion shattered.

This means that Su Nan has initially sealed the ring.

Su Nan held the cobra ring in his palm and examined it. "This thing is the source of the abyssal energy in this town of the dead."

"It was this thing that caused the deaths of two formal wizards in this subspace, where they were locked in a love-hate relationship for a thousand years."

Come to think of it, I am indeed a first-ring wizard now, and I can certainly study the energy world.

Looking at the Myrcart Ring, Su Nan suddenly realized something. He drank a potion with a +7 psychic power enhancement from ether stones, increasing his psychic power by 1 to 211, and simultaneously activated the Brownian Field.

"this……"

Su Nan's eyes widened, because originally, every time he increased his mental strength, his permanent defensive field would become somewhat chaotic, until this chaos reached a certain level, making the energy consumed to maintain his permanent defensive field far exceed the magical energy that was restored.

In this way, the soul limit of a first-ring wizard is reached.

But now, the slight increase in his mental strength that he had just enhanced his permanent defensive field, and the resulting chaos or entropy increase within that field, were actually absorbed by the Ring of Myrcart.

Su Nan immediately understood why Mylcarter was so determined to find a first-ring wizard and promised to help that wizard become a second-ring wizard.

"This ring does indeed absorb the chaos from my permanent defensive field. If I can continue absorbing it, I can become a second-circle wizard through an alternative method."

"Although, it's unlikely to be that good. This loophole is too huge; the abyssal creatures could use it to kill any wizard who continues down this path."

"The reason Myrcart has his eye on first-ring wizards is because, in the process of enhancing their permanent defensive fields, first-ring wizards inevitably generate a significant increase in entropy. This entropy increase is likely the energy Myrcart needs. Or rather, it's what the abyssal creatures need."

That's why he specifically targets first-ring wizards.

"Of course, it's also possible that this is all the abilities he has left. If he seeks out a higher-level wizard, he might be turned around and become the wizard's experimental subject."

Su Nan looked up at the center of the deep undead town and saw a spirit tower there.
