Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 294 The Death Knight of Six Ascensions

Half a day later, Su Nan had finished concocting the Death Knight potion, which had undergone six ascensions. At the same time, he used a niche reversal spell to temporarily summon Vasilyan and had him take the enhanced potion.

After Vasilyan took the medicine, his entire body was enveloped in a deep, dark aura of death, which covered him like a dark cloud.

Su Nan knew that he must be in a state of great pain right now. Because digesting the Death Knight's potion required overcoming and transcending the pain, using one's own willpower to triumph over it, otherwise it would lead to a broken soul and death.

But Vasilyan's willpower was stronger than he had imagined, and the six ascensions were not a substantial improvement.

Su Nan sensed that Vasilian's mental strength had actually reached 530 with the help of six Ascension Potions.

This was the first time Vasilyan's mental strength had surpassed his own.

Of course, this was partly because he himself had cultivated a lot of spiritual power, and partly because the basic magic pressure of a Death Knight who had undergone six ascensions was 500.

The magic pressure from the two parts combined creates a magic pressure of 530.

After Vasilyan finished digesting the potion, he said to Su Nan, "Master, I feel that my black blade and the Death Barrier have become even more powerful."

Su Nan nodded; this was also the biggest boost that the Death Knight potion provided to Vasilian.

The black dagger and the Death Knight's cloak are the result of my in-depth research into black magic and spirit magic. Because I've recently encountered a lot of this kind of magic, the six-times-ascended black dagger has become even more powerful.

Looking towards the distant golden tree, Su Nan noticed that its light had dimmed considerably. During this time, the Arcane Swarm branch had been proliferating wildly along this golden path, attacking any non-friendly unit and even attacking itself.

The Zerg swarm is like something that produces nothing, while the Golden Path is exploited by the Zerg, who constantly pass on their luck to the Hive Will. This makes the Hive Will even happier, leading to even more exploitation, and even inciting ordinary Zerg individuals to fight each other.

The Golden Path is the core of this golden sub-plane, so in order to maintain the Golden Path, the second-ring wizard tower of the Golden Tree can only continuously send in the stored luck to keep the Golden Path alive.

As a result, it can be seen that the brilliance of the golden tree has dimmed considerably.

It's conceivable that if the arcane swarm continues to multiply, the entire Golden Minor Plane—the Mandala system meticulously constructed by the Golden Wizard—will collapse because the swarm has harvested all the luck.

At that moment, Su Nan suddenly heard an explosion, and then he and Vasilyan looked toward the source of the sound.

The source of the sound was the distant Golden Arena.

That golden arena was located near the mountain where Su Nan was situated, a place of hatred.

Vasilyan wanted to rush over to check on the situation, but Sunan stopped him.

"No need. That location belongs to the descendants of the Golden Wizard, in the region of Grel. I planted my mind in one of his apprentices."

"So, that guy was basically under my surveillance the whole time."

Vasilyan asked, "Did the Golden Wizard do all this for his descendants? Or was it that, after realizing he could no longer digest everything here, he began to pass it all on to his offspring?"

At this moment, Su Nan saw above the Golden Arena, where Grel stood on a golden flying boat, with five panicked beauties on his left and right. On the golden flying boat were also the apprentices of the wizarding school he had founded.

Grel looked at the golden three-headed serpent creature in the golden arena and sneered. "A mere pet of my ancestor dares to attack me. It certainly has some nerve."

"But my wives, don't worry, that mere three-headed serpent is no match for me."

He recited a rather long incantation and used the golden flying boat to dodge the poisonous mist spewed by the three-headed serpent in the air. Then, he used three hundred golden longswords without hilts to attack the three-headed serpent below at the same time.

Under the attack of three hundred golden swords, the three-headed serpent let out one mournful howl after another. At first, it could still put up some resistance, continuing to spew poisonous mist at the golden airship, but soon it crashed to the ground.

At the same time, its soul left its body, its soul let out a painful wail, its soul began to split, and most of its luck was concentrated on Grel.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. Looking at Griel from a distance, Su Nan was surprised to discover that this short, stocky Griel actually possessed a magic pressure of over 590.

His magical pressure was higher than that of the Golden Witch he had encountered before.

The next moment, Su Nan saw thirty golden flying swords coming towards him from a distance.

Su Nan frowned. "That Grel actually attacked me directly."

Vasilyan.

Vasilyan condensed his black blade. He gathered the maximum amount of death magic and then slashed at the sky. The death magic collided with the thirty golden flying swords, destroying seven, but the remaining twenty-three continued to attack Vasilyan.

At the same time, Mary, Warwick, Wolf 1, Wolf 2, Wolf 3, and the Arcane Swarm branch along the entire Golden Road were attacked by approximately thirty golden flying swords.

Clearly, it was because Grel was standing on the golden airship that she finally discovered the outsiders on the Golden Road.

His first reaction was to launch a collective attack on all outsiders.

Meanwhile, aboard the golden airship in the arena, Grel realized that he had gathered enough luck to enter the Golden City, and he laughed heartily.

"Although I don't know why there are so many outsiders, all my wealth is mine. So, I will kill those outsiders like crushing ants."

"But it's hard to say. If they die once on the Golden Road, everything they own will become mine!"

This is what makes usury so terrible.

Once you get involved, everything you own will be tied up in high-interest loans.

"Wives, let's go into the Golden City," said Grel. "Now we'll have the money to pay back that old man who owes the Pure White Wizard."

"That damned old man, he's clearly not a second-circle wizard, but he's so much stronger than me. His magical pressure is only slightly higher than mine. Tch~"

"If I could beat him, I would never pay back the money. I am a descendant of a Golden Wizard, and I am a disgrace to my ancestors."

The next moment, his golden flying boat disappeared into the sky above the Golden Road, which meant it disappeared outside the Golden City, and he himself entered the Golden City directly.

A golden flying boat appeared in the sky above the Golden City.

On the other side, atop the hill, Su Nan looked at Vasilyan, "Vasilyan, how are your injuries?"

"Everyone, how are you all doing?"

At the same time, Su Nan used the brass ring to summon Mary. He thought about it and realized that Mary was there to help him, and he would feel guilty if she died.

Therefore, Su Nan also gave Mary temporary permission, attempting to pull Mary into the wolf pack effect as well.

Of course, this temporary permission only allows her to communicate with him alone.

Mary quickly agreed to Sunan's request for a magical connection using the wolf pack effect, and said to Sunan, "I didn't expect you to have this method to maintain contact, Sunan."

"I originally thought this was a type of magic that the School of Prophecy excelled at."

"I wasn't seriously injured, just some superficial wounds. When those flying swords attacked me, I used the five golden giants around me as human shields to neutralize most of his magic. But that guy named Griel's magic... it was really powerful."

"Another magical genius."

Su Nan comforted her and asked the other members of the wolf pack. Warwick said he was almost unharmed. He was now a werewolf hunter who had undergone six ascensions. Even though his power system had not been simplified and strengthened by Su Nan, he was still able to survive almost unscathed from Griel's group attack thanks to his powerful physical abilities.

However, Wolf One, Wolf Two, and Wolf Three were all seriously injured and almost unrecognizable. Fortunately, the werewolf hunter had eight layers of immortality, so they recovered quickly and did not give the passing competitors on the Golden Road the opportunity to ambush them while they were seriously injured.

The Zerg swarm fared much worse; first, their queen was killed.

After all, even the queen of the swarm, who had undergone six ascensions, was only at the level of a half-step first-ring wizard. She died instantly under the powerful spell cast by that Gorel with 595 magic pressure.

Many swarms of insects also died.

But this caused the halo around the distant golden tree to become even dimmer.

After all, if the Golden Wizard is a loan shark wizard, then the Zerg Swarm is a robber; it's always the Zerg Swarm that steals from others, not the other way around.

Su Nan sensed that the Golden Path's black magic seemed to be vying with the Arcane Swarm for control of the Queen's soul. However, the Arcane Swarm, currently based in the Rye Underground Domain, were already at the level of seasoned first-circle wizards who had undergone six ascensions; they simply lacked sufficient time to accumulate power.

Therefore, they used Arcane Rebirth, which had barely reached the first level, to pull the Queen of Insects over with the Rebirth spell.

However, this one operation seems to have directly caused a bug in the Golden Road.

Or rather, the mandala system plane set up by this golden wizard had a bug.

Because at this moment, it means that after the Queen's body entered this cycle of reincarnation, it meant that she voluntarily joined this cycle. But now that she is dead, her soul has not entered this cycle of reincarnation.

Arcane rebirth alone is insufficient to compete with this golden minor plane for the ownership of the Queen's soul.

The problem is that the queen is only a small part of the hive consciousness.

None of them are true individual souls.

Thus, the Golden Minor Plane witnessed the Queen of Insects' soul being pulled back by Arcane Rebirth.

The entire mandala system has developed its first, and very significant, bug.

Sunan felt as if the entire small plane was experiencing an earthquake.

Cracks appeared in the ground, and many mortals in this plane were killed amidst screams by mudslides, fissures, sinkholes, and collapsed houses caused by the earthquake.

When these mortals die, they enter the cycle of reincarnation again, and a large amount of their luck is plundered. This plundered luck then tries to fix the bug by searching for the soul of the queen insect and pulling it into the cycle of reincarnation.

Thus, Su Nan realized... this golden mini-plane directly crossed spatial distances and cast a death curse on his arcane swarm located in the Rye Underground Domain.

This appears to be a mechanism used by the Golden Minor Dimension to fix bugs.

Jinx, the main body of the Hive Consciousness located in the underground city of the Rye, was enraged. The entire first-ring wizard tower, the Hive Tower, was filled with life magic.

A massive pillar of arcane energy shot into the sky.

To fight against that black magic.

This is a confrontation between life that expands unrestrainedly and the death curse that harvests life.

Su Nan hadn't anticipated that the Arcane Swarm had exploited the bug so severely that it caused serious operational problems in the Golden Minor Plane, leading to... this situation.

However, this situation was not something I caused directly.

It was Grel, a descendant of the Golden Wizard, who killed the Queen of Insects... causing problems to occur in the operation of his ancestral plane.

Is this a case of reaping what you sow?
