Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 303: Obtaining the Second-Ring Wizard Tower and the Great Post-Battle Gains

Golden City Center.

The Golden Wizard's expression suddenly turned ferocious. Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, he wanted to perish together with Su Nan. But the next moment, the wands on the ground of the almost destroyed Golden City all burst forth with powerful energy and then rushed towards his soul.

His soul resides in the cave beneath the Golden City.

Inside that cave, he used numerous sealing and black magic spells to protect his original body, which had been turned into a stone statue and covered with a red cloth.

More than two thousand years ago, when he broke through to the second circle of wizards, he suffered a magical backlash and ended up looking like that grotesque creature.

Now, the retribution that he forcibly suppressed with magic more than two thousand years ago is all coming back.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why Su Nan had looked at him with such pity.

Because Su Nan had already guessed that this would happen.

Retribution is something that will never appear when you are powerful, but will appear immediately when you decline.

So when the Golden Wizard was brought to his lowest point by Su Nan, it was also the time for his retribution to come. The wands scattered throughout the Golden City, and the retribution for him absorbing the luck of humans from a small plane—all of these things backfired at that moment.

Su Nan doesn't need to do anything anymore, because given the retribution he accumulated during his prosperous period, his current state of decline is absolutely unbearable.

"Ah!" The Golden Wizard died. His soul shattered, his defensive field shattered, and his mind shattered. In the instant before he died, he tried to use the energy from his death to unleash a final curse, targeting Su Nan with it.

But in that instant, the hypnosis that Surik had used on his mind during the battle suddenly took effect, temporarily changing the target of his curse to the Golden Minor Dimension.

"I curse this plane."

Before he died, he cast a death curse—the Flying Head Curse—which transformed the death energy of the entire plane into even more negative energy.

However, Su Nan considered this an unexpected gain.

He sighed, scanning the now lifeless plane. "By merging this plane with the Land of Bones, and absorbing the countless souls lost in the war, we can create a smaller plane of bones."

"Using this small plane of bones, we can cultivate our own first-ring undead to refine death knight potions. This is a sustainable development."

Su Nan's own strength is not enough to reshape the plane.

However, the fact that the Golden Wizard used his death energy to reshape this plane before his death suddenly made things much simpler.

Transforming the land of bones would then become possible.

Sunan found Mary, who was in very bad condition. The aftermath of the increasingly intense battle had left her seriously injured and lying on the ground. She had no choice but to hide in a collapsed golden house in the Golden City.

Su Nan used a bottle of Life Essence + 3 Magic Potions to heal her.

Mary was extremely grateful. "Thank you. I'll pay for the bottle..."

Su Nan shook his head. "This is necessary treatment for an ally, no need for a trade, Mary. Not everything needs a trade. Besides, you just seized the key moment, silencing the Golden Wizard before he could unleash his ultimate magic; that strike was the crucial point of the entire battle."

"You seized the perfect moment, or rather, you really have a lot of courage."

After all, Mary isn't immortal.

No ordinary person, yet facing the terrifying demonic pressure of the dragon shadow that borrowed the power of a true dragon, still had the courage to seize the opportunity and deliver a fatal blow.

Mary gave a wry smile. "After all, I brought a bottle of Flash +2 potion for this mission. If it doesn't work at all, it would be a shame to waste your potion."

Su Nan, Mary, and the others began looting the spoils of war within this small dimension.

First and foremost are the biggest spoils: the Golden Magic Mirror and the second-ring wizard tower—the Golden Tree.

Because the magic of the Golden Tree had been exhausted, Su Nan entered the Golden Tree and found that although the Golden Tree looked like a tree on the outside, the inside was a huge circular building. The distance between the top and bottom of this circular building was at least a thousand meters.

Inside the circular building are rows of bookshelves.

There is also a spiral staircase.

The source of this circular building's magic lies suspended in the void above this cylindrical library, which is thousands of meters high. It is a pool of magic composed of three interlocking rings.

The magical energy liquid swirls within three interlocking rings and persists thereafter.

Su Nan observed the unique, three-dimensional pool of magic floating in the void and remotely connected it with his own magical power. Since its owner had been cursed to death by retribution, the magical power within had completely vanished.

It took Su Nan an hour to imprint his soul mark and mana onto this second-ring level magic pool. Then, by controlling this magic core, he could monitor the entire second-ring wizard tower and thus the entire golden mini-plane.

Just as he had predicted, the entire Golden Minor Plane had been completely wiped out by the Golden Wizard.

The unconscious Griel was sealed away by his own century-old sleeping potion, and a slave collar was placed on his head, trapping him in the collapsed golden city. However, it may take a long time before he wakes up.

He will probably have to accept the fact that he has become his own slave, or even an experimental subject, as soon as he wakes up.

It's not always possible to capture such a powerful wizard so easily. This time, the situation was special; his ancestors had schemed against him. Otherwise, such a powerful wizard would at most die in battle or escape, and it would be difficult for him to fall into Su Nan's hands so easily.

And Su Nan, too, would not let go of the opportunity to have such a precious experimental subject.

Moreover, Su Nan felt that since he had captured Griel, shouldn't Griel's businesses outside also belong to him?

As for all the wizarding apprentices of the Golden School, and Griel's five mortal wives, they had all died in the aftermath of the previous battle.

Even Mary almost didn't survive the aftermath of the previous battle, let alone them.

The only living people in the Golden City now are Mary, Warwick, and their companions.

They are searching for usable spoils in the collapsed city of gold.

Many of the wands that were originally scattered across the surface of the Golden City were shattered in the retribution just now. The wands that remained intact were all extremely powerful, senior first-level wands.

Warwick even found a second-level undead staff. It was an ice-blue runic sword-staff, which he planned to give to Vasilyan.

However, Vasilyan seems to be completely "shut down" now, and even after Su Nan replenished his magic, he did not wake up.

For the time being, Su Nan also couldn't figure out Vasily's situation. He could only take over and control the second-ring wizard tower in this plane.

Su Nan stood alone in the huge library.

"Once I finish reading all the books in these libraries, I should be able to gain a huge boost in my magic. It can quickly make up for my weakness as a first-circle wizard—a lack of magical knowledge."

"Accumulate enough magical knowledge to become a second-circle wizard."

"And further enhance the werewolf and vampire systems."

Actually, the previous hybrid had serious flaws. After all, the hybrid he was at the time was a vampire viscount and a werewolf hunter, not a vampire count and a werewolf hunter.

The reason why Su Nan could not achieve six levels of ascension was because the ingredients for both types of potions required for six levels of ascension were too rare.

If Su Nan had enough magical knowledge, he might be able to use the AI ​​to reduce the rarity of the two sixth-level Ascension potion ingredients, thus enabling the large-scale production of the Vampire Count potion and the advanced Werewolf Hunter potion.

Su Nan looked up at the second-circle wizard's magic pool. "So the biggest difference between a second-circle wizard's tower and a first-circle wizard's tower lies in the three-dimensional magic pool?"

"What's the difference between a two-dimensional magic pool and a three-dimensional magic pool? That requires careful study..."
