Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 258 The Mental Limits of a First-Ring Wizard and the Demon Race

Brutus sighed and said, "Let me start by telling you how I got that ring. Actually, the root of it all lies with me."

"At that time, our world was being invaded by the energy world. The three of us belonged to a second-circle school called 'Cursed Paradise.' Our second-circle mentor went to the battlefield and told us not to leave. We were still at our school's headquarters on Corfu at the time."

"But one day, things suddenly changed. The three of us suddenly discovered that there was a strange energy world that partially overlapped with our world, and a meteorite from that energy world crashed on Corfu."

"The Myrcart Ring is inside the meteorite."

Brutus said, "We all recognized the ring as an ominous object. Since I was the most powerful at the time, I was put in charge of keeping it, and I sealed it deep within my town of the dead."

"Who knew that the three of us would eventually have our will eroded by it, and we would gradually turn on each other."

Brutus told Sunan, "Antony killed Tia to get the ring. He used the news of her death to drive me mad, wanting to resurrect her, and then I went insane."

"Then, Anthony took the opportunity to kill me and imprisoned our souls in this town of the dead."

"Later, he realized that Mylcarter had been lying to him. So he came to us and begged for our help. And you know what happened next."

Brutus said, "But before I was killed, or before I went insane because of my wife Tia's death, I conducted some research on Mylcat."

"I know some of his background."

Su Nan nodded. "Go on."

Brutus said, "I discovered that Myrcart was once the 101st lord of the Abyss. And the Abyss is an exceptionally vast world, possibly even larger than the Prime Material Plane."

"Furthermore, based on my research, I believe that the Abyss World and that most powerful energy world, which launched a proactive invasion against our world and whose name has been sealed by magic, are enemies. The two sides should have been at war all along."

"The Abyss World seems to have considered this when it wanted to invade our world—they were afraid that if the energy world whose name was sealed successfully invaded our world, it would devour our world, greatly increase its power, and thus affect the balance of the war between the Abyss and that energy world."

"Therefore, in the Abyss Great World, there were also Abyss Plane Lords who actively invaded our world."

"They want to take the initiative, let the Abyss devour our world, turn our world into a plane of the Abyss, and then strengthen the Abyss to win the war that the Abyss Lords call the Eternal Blood War."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow, surprised that more than two thousand years ago, there were two energy worlds that simultaneously invaded the wizarding society!

Mary suddenly spoke up, asking, "So, Myrcart... is he the Abyss Lord who wants to invade our world?"

Brutus shook his head with a cold laugh. "What kind of invasion was that? At the time, the Abyss World didn't actually launch a large-scale invasion against us. According to my research, a huge rebellion, or rather a revolution, occurred in the Abyss World."

"This has directly deprived the Abyss World of all its ability to wage war against other worlds. But I don't know if the Endless Abyss has regained its ability to wage war against other worlds now."

Brutus said, "The Great Abyss is different from that energy world whose name is sealed. That energy world whose name is sealed means that once a world is conquered, it will occupy that world and train its warriors to serve as cannon fodder soldiers for the Seven Kings' legions."

"As for the Endless Abyss, it will only devour the conquered worlds and turn them into a plane of the Endless Abyss. So no one knows exactly how many planes the Endless Abyss has now. It is said to have 666 planes, but that is just a rough number."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. 666, this number represents sin and the devil in all the major Order Churches.

It turns out, it was because of the endless abyss.

The Church of Storms even records in its religious scriptures that a giant monster with the number 666 printed on its body will come from outside the world and devour the entire world. Only the gods of order, such as the God of Storms, can stop that terrible beast.

Brutus said, "But because of this, there are many races in the Abyss. The native inhabitants of the Abyss are ancient demons like Myrcart."

"But later, the Endless Abyss devoured too many worlds, forming too many new planes, and thus a demon race called the New Demons appeared. They were originally just subordinates and servants of the original demons, but after a great rebellion, most of the original demons were killed by the New Demons."

"Later, he encountered a new demon rebellion and was betrayed again. This time, his body was cut into hundreds of pieces, and this ring was made from just one piece of his body tissue."

"The new demon race is formed from those mortal races that, after death, entered the endless abyss and became demons."

Su Nan asked in confusion, "Why would the original demons formed by gods be defeated by the new demons formed by mortals?"

Brutus shook his head. "I don't know either. Maybe it's because there are more demons born from mortal races, or maybe they understand human nature better. That's all I know."

Su Nan looked at the Myrcart ring in his palm. In other words, this ring was made by Myrcart, a stray dog ​​who had been driven out of his hometown twice, and was thrown into the prime material plane in the form of a meteorite.

Because at that time, he had been torn to pieces by the new demon race.

Myrcart desperately needed to replenish his power, so he set his sights on the three first-circle wizards of the Cursed Paradise, which could continuously generate entropy increases.

The three first-circle wizards of 【Cursed Paradise】 were also unlucky, as their second-circle wizard teacher happened to be outside the 【Cursed Paradise】 school due to the war.

If he were here, this Myrcart might have become an experimental subject in the hands of a second-circle wizard.

Having learned about Mylcat's background, Su Nan immediately felt more confident.

This Myrcart ring does indeed help a first-ring wizard break through to become a second-ring wizard, but it is extremely dangerous.

Studying it is like studying a strong radiation source.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

Moreover, the mesh-like progressive transformation of abyssal energy that the Myrcart ring had previously displayed also intrigued Su Nan.

Could it be that different abyssal creatures can freely evolve and transform?

Another point is that Myrcatur's energy should be a very troublesome thing for that old bastard blind monk.

Using this to deal with them will definitely be very useful.

Su Nan looked at Brutus and Anthony and said, "I have another question, which is about the mental limit of a first-ring wizard."

Brutus and Anthony exchanged a glance.

Anthony laughed, "You're simply the youngest first-ring wizard I've ever seen. You're different from us; you can keep going."

After Anthony and Brutus finished their explanations, Su Nan and the AI ​​combined all the previous data and deduced that the mental strength limit of a first-ring wizard should be around 600.

This made Su Nan glance at Anthony with surprise.

According to him, Anthony had already reached this level, but was blocked at this stage by MyCard, who prevented him from advancing any further.

Judging from this, if it weren't for the fact that Anthony and Mycarter had wasted so much energy in their internal strife over the past two thousand years, I'm afraid I would have had to pay several times more than before.

If he had arrived a thousand years earlier, the power that Myrccat could command would have been even more terrifying.

Su Nan made a judgment in his mind: generally, a mental strength of 500 or more is considered that of a senior first-ring wizard.

At this point, a first-ring wizard possesses both magical power and magical knowledge, making them the most well-rounded and powerful being.

The Oak Wizard, the Shadow Wizard, and Anthony were all at this level during their lifetimes.

Anthony might be even stronger.

But death and time robbed them of most of their strength. So when I faced them again, they were no longer at their peak.

According to Anthony himself, his situation was even worse than that of the Oak Wizard; he had been fighting with Myrcart, but Myrcart was always the stronger one.

After all, he used to be a god and the lord of the 101st floor of the abyss.

Although both of those identities have now been betrayed and lost.

Su Nan even felt a bit sorry for Melkat, thinking he was a great victim of injustice.

After a long-awaited reunion and conversation, the remaining souls of Brutus, Tia, and Antony began to disappear.

After all, a vengeful spirit will die once it loses its obsession.

Previously, it was only because Mylcarter wanted to torment them that he deliberately left them with these obsessions. Now that they have fulfilled their wishes, they should naturally disappear.

Brutus grabbed Tia's hand, then looked at Anthony with disdain and forced his hand onto his soul's shoulder.

The three souls began to dissipate together. Brutus waved to Sunan and said, "Farewell, thank you, young first-ring wizard."

"Let's go first. A wizard once proposed a hypothesis—that even after death, the spirit is not at the end of life. Although this hypothesis is absurd, I can use myself as an experiment to see if the spirit really goes to another place after death."

Su Nan suddenly spoke up: "If there is a place for the dead to go after they die, then do the gods and the heroic spirits of their kingdoms also go to that place after they die?"

"Hahaha..." Brutus laughed, "You actually started thinking about it."

With his laughter, three first-ring wizards from the Cursed Paradise School vanished from the dead town.

At the same time, the entire town of the dead began to collapse.

Su Nan said to the panicked Mary, "After the four first-level beings supporting this undead town disappear, this undead town will begin to self-destruct."

"Come with me to the spirit tower in the town center. I want to restore this town."

Because of Anthony's accidental mistake, this undead town has actually become a breeding ground for undead creatures.

Su Nan didn't want the biggest gain from this trip to disappear.
