Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 378 Forbidden Spell: Eternal Core Modification

The "Justice" witch quickly interrupted Su Nan's argument with the ghouls. In the dilapidated ancient temple, she said to everyone, "Alright, everyone, wait a moment."

"Su Nan. These ghouls are the guardians of this ancient swamp tomb, the mausoleum of a magic emperor from seven thousand years ago. Now, the Pure White School has penetrated deep inside. Moreover, the Pure White School brought a special power with them into the tomb."

"We must stop them."

Su Nan frowned and looked at Marie Palaiolo. "Marie, I'd like to ask, what does 'stop them' mean?"

Seeing Mary's stunned expression, Su Nan explained, "In my opinion, 'stopping' could have two meanings. One is to stop the Pure White School from competing with us for magical resources; the other is that after you received the ghoul's inheritance, you have the duty to guard the tomb."

"So you have to stop all intruders. But if that's the case, then we're also intruders into this tomb."

"Mary, if you are the second type, then we have a conflict of interest."

Upon hearing this, the Rubber Witch and the Rye Mistress's expressions changed. The Rubber Witch turned her entire body into rubber, while the Rye Mistress revealed her vampire fangs.

Mary paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile. "Just listen to me, and you'll understand. It's not that my duty is to guard this tomb; rather, this tomb itself was built to seal away the mad wizard emperor."

"The tomb keepers told me that the Wizard Emperor's end was because he reached the pinnacle of power, elevating his mental strength to an extremely terrifying level. As a result, the flaws in his mental state were magnified and amplified, and then he went mad."

"In the early stages of his madness, he still had some self-control, so he orchestrated the self-destruction of the Assyrian Empire, and within the capital city existed the power left behind by the mad wizard emperor. The emperor used the power and resources of the entire empire to seal himself away, thus he even prematurely brought the empire into collapse, with wizards and mortals killing each other."

Mary explained, "When I received the inheritance, I saw the emperor go mad, a scene that only ghouls, werewolves, and vampires can see and endure."

"If you want, I can show you."

"It would be extremely dangerous to awaken that mad emperor from his eternal slumber. Before he went mad, he was already a third-ring wizard, the most powerful wizard of seven thousand years ago. After he went mad, if he were to awaken, he would likely be infinitely close to the fourth ring, possessing... the danger of world destruction."

Mary said to Sunan, "So, the important thing now is that, under no circumstances should the White Council be allowed to open the Emperor's coffin and disturb his eternal sleep."

"The Wizard Emperor would be better off lying quietly on the ground."

Mary transmitted a scene to Su Nan's mind via mental connection. Su Nan hesitated for a moment, then voluntarily transformed into a vampire marquis and began to peruse the information Mary had transmitted.

In an instant, everything in front of me went completely black.

In the center of the completely black earth, there was a terrifying and chilling magical pressure that covered at least one-tenth of the prime material plane like a lid.

This is the Prime Material Plane, you know.

At the center of that terrifying demonic pressure stood a person with an expressionless face.

The wizard emperor's long hair fluttered wildly in the wind caused by the magical pressure. His royal robes were worn and torn apart. Too many people had died beside him.

When Su Nan saw this scene, it was as if he was also experiencing his demonic pressure. In just an instant, Su Nan's demonic pressure was completely suppressed, and all of Su Nan's bones were shattered.

Mary is right. Only a creature of the Dark Clan, who is not immortal, can bear such a memory.

The Wizard Emperor looked in the direction of Su Nan, but in reality, Su Nan was just replacing a character in this memory fragment.

"King of Ghouls, too many have died under my demonic pressure. Now... I am truly all alone."

"There are two people who caused this situation: one is the blind judge who misled me; the other is myself."

"I have a premonition that I am about to completely lose control. Before that happens, I will arrange a perfect end for myself and my empire, and I will take his code to my grave. I ask you and your descendants to be the guardians of the grave, and not let the blind Grand Judge come near us again..."

A voice came from the direction of Su Nan. "Your Majesty, you have protected the ghoul clan, so we are willing to take on the responsibility of guarding the tomb, but I fear our strength is insufficient."

In the memory illusion, the black-haired man under the terrifying demonic pressure revealed half madness and half rationality in his eyes. He stretched out his left hand towards Su Nan's direction, his index and middle fingers joined together, and pointed in Su Nan's direction.

"That's easy."

"I will modify your bloodline, leaving you with the power of a second-circle wizard. It's a pity I don't have much sanity left, otherwise I could leave you with the power of a third-circle wizard."

"Forbidden Spell: Eternal Core Modification".

A spell emerged from the tips of his left index and middle fingers, forming a shooting star that streaked towards Su Nan's location.

Su Nan quickly had the AI ​​record and analyze the magic to see if it could find anything useful.

Yes, but your current understanding of magic is insufficient to comprehend what you are observing.

Su Nan frowned. So that's how it is. After all, the Wizard Emperor's magic level is too high.

However, he now understood why the Wizard Emperor had modified the ghouls into such bizarre and even contradictory forms, wasting considerable power and growth potential. It turned out he had been cramming at the last minute and hadn't had time to properly study the ghouls' problems.

Otherwise, Su Nan believed that the Wizard Emperor would surely realize the special relationship between ghouls, vampires, and werewolves.

Then, he realized that his current methods of reformation were simply short-sighted and destructive.

The next moment, Su Nan regained consciousness.

Mary looked at Su Nan and said, "The memory imprint I gave you, Su Nan, you can view it anytime in the future. By observing the spellcasting of the third-ring wizard in this memory, we will eventually gain something."

"This is very beneficial for second-circle wizards."

Su Nan said, "Thank you."

Mary looked at Su Nan with some anticipation. "So Su Nan, after you saw the magical pressure emanating from that wizard emperor who was on the verge of madness, what did you decide to do?"

"In short, if the Pure White School releases him, it will be a real problem for the world."

Su Nan nodded. What he was more concerned about was what exactly the blind Grand Judge's sealed item was.

However, at this time, it is indeed not advisable to allow the members of the Pure White Council to release the self-sealed Wizard Emperor.

Su Nan said, "I understand, but I have one request. After I go deep into the swamp, everything I gain is mine, and you cannot stop me."

Mary breathed a sigh of relief. "Of course. Thank you, Sunan. I was worried that I alone couldn't stop the Pure White School and the beings behind them."

The middle-aged ghoul hurriedly said to Mary, "Chief, but... we can't just agree to them like this."

"Nothing in the tomb should be taken out easily..."

An elderly ghoul stepped forward, coughed a few times, and reprimanded the middle-aged man, "Dog. If we had the strength to protect the tomb, things wouldn't be like this now."

"Just be flexible."

Elder Doming, the ghoul, turned to look at Su Nan.

He reverted from his ghoul form to human form, looking like an ordinary old man with gray hair and wrinkled skin. "I am Elder Doming, the oldest ghoul here."

"Immortal King, please forgive that ignorant brat's offense. On his behalf, I express my sincere apologies to you."

"I believe that with you and Chief Mary here, we will be able to protect the Wizard Emperor from being disturbed by outsiders after his death, so that his soul can rest in peace forever."
