Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 386 The Four Beasts' Blessing Magic and the Human Mine

Inside the outer walls of the Assyrian imperial palace, Hans Berg said, "Honorable guest, I think I haven't let any existence slip by."

"Within the Assyrian Empire, rules and regulations were strictly enforced."

Su Nan's gaze turned cold. "So, are you going to disobey your emperor's orders within the palace?"

Hans Berg smiled and said, "You flatter me, sir."

"I won't fight you. But it's really unreasonable for you to make me wait for half an hour without offering anything in return."

Hans Berg raised his left hand, and an earthen-yellow defensive shield appeared. "Honored guest, I am one of the top four defensive magic users among the second-circle wizards of the Assyrian Empire. If you can break through my defensive magic within ten minutes..."

"I agree to wait for you for thirty minutes."

"The four ancient beasts, those beasts that devour the earth, these four beasts that appeared in the past, ruling and dominating the world, will inevitably move from one country to another, stirring up a wind of world domination..."

The earthen-yellow magical shield surrounding Hans Berg displayed images of four beasts: first, the first beast, Babylonia; second, the Kingdom of Akkad; third, the Kingdom of Phoenicia; and finally, the Assyrian Empire itself.

Hans Berg's magical path defines the four beasts cast upon the earth by the god of law as being related to four powerful nations on earth.

The Assyrian Empire, having conquered those powerful nations, eventually became the fourth beast.

Thus, the power of the four beasts was entirely controlled by the Assyrian Empire.

The earthen-yellow elemental power surrounding Hans Berg transformed into a ferocious beast with four heads. This gluttonous beast, with teeth capable of crushing anything, stared at Su Nan and the others with its eyes as large as copper bells.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing impatience. "Fine, I also want to see just how powerful the defensive magic of this so-called senior second-circle wizard really is."

Su Nan consumed a bottle of Fire Demon's Fury, and a magical lightning storm appeared above Hans Berg's head. However, the four-headed behemoth defended against the magic, stretched out its four heads, swallowed all four lightning bolts, and chewed them down.

Hans Berg chuckled, "I see. It is indeed the level of a second-circle wizard's offensive magic, but this level is only that of an ordinary second-circle wizard..."

The next moment, Su Nan transformed into a golden werewolf hunter. Then, he used 850 points of magic pressure to fully activate Victor's golden statue, saying, "I borrowed a thousand acres of land from the past, just to destroy you."

A vast field descended, followed by the metal wizards launching a full-scale attack on Hans Berg.

Hans Berg was somewhat amazed. "What exquisite spell models! They seem far more refined than those of our time. I'm curious where you've come from, esteemed guest. But if this is all there is to it... I'd rather you come with me to meet the Emperor."

The magical pressure emanating from Hans Berger also erupted. The World Beast formed by the fusion of the four beasts raised its four heads and opened its four mouths, as if everything had shrunk. The thousand acres of land summoned by Su Nan were forcibly shrunk and turned into toys in front of the four beasts.

Then, the four beasts swung their claws down, stomping on the thousand acres of land, which then crumbled.

The magic has been broken!

In that instant, Su Nan felt the spirituality emanating from the four nations of Assyria, Akkad, Phoenicia, and Babylonia.

Hans Berg's magic draws upon the spirituality of these four nations and, through the form of the Four Beasts, harnesses their spirituality to create powerful, counter-attacking magic.

While fighting him, Su Nan also recorded this interesting magic.

In Su Nan's view, the model of this spell was still rather crude. After all, he came from seven thousand years in the future, and everything here was just ancient people and artifacts to him.

Therefore, from the perspective of a second-circle wizard in his later years, the magic cast by this Assyrian wizard named Hans Berg, while powerful, was too crude in its spell model.

And that is the breakthrough point.

The moment the historical phantom battlefield was shattered by the four beasts, Su Nan rushed forward, unleashing his full power, and struck the four beasts with his Wolf Demon Claw, instantly unleashing a powerful collision of magical light.

Su Nan's magic power merged with the werewolf's power, but it still couldn't shake the four beasts in the slightest.

Su Nan was bounced away by the four beasts.

At this moment, above Hans Berg's head, four beasts guarded it, each with a large horn and a pair of wings, and were exceptionally powerful.

Both the Rubber Witch and Mary were worried for Su Nan.

Mary raised her brass dagger, ready to ambush Hans Berger at any moment.

Hans Berg, however, didn't seem to care at all. "Actually, you can all come at me together. After all, the Four Beasts Blessing spell is the spell I'm best at."

"Furthermore, esteemed guest, your attacks just now have reached the edge of the attack magic of a senior second-circle wizard."

"That's really... good."

Su Nan lowered her head and said, "You seem to be handling this with great ease."

Hans Berg laughed and said, "No, no..."

"where……"

Hans Berg's expression turned serious as a powerful energy erupted from Su Nan. Su Nan had fused the powers of the werewolf and the vampire; his pupils turned into golden rings, gleaming with a diamond-like luster.

A pair of bat wings sprouted from his back, and powerful energy flowed through Su Nan's body.

1+1>2!

Using hybrid power, Su Nan's strength has surpassed that of an ordinary senior second-circle wizard. At this moment, Su Nan has also used the spirituality of the God of Law, which has increased his magic pressure by at least 500 points!

Hans Berg's expression turned serious, and he began to use all his magic to enhance the protection of the four beasts. "This magic..."

"He actually possesses such power. His magic surpasses mine..."

"How could this be? He looks like just a wizard who has just become a second-circle wizard, yet he is so powerful when he goes all out."

"This is bad. The commotion we've caused is too great. If he continues to damage the palace, I will surely commit a crime."

Sweat poured down Hans Berg's forehead as he chanted an incantation: "Behold, calamity will spread from one country to another, and a great storm will rise from the ends of the earth."

"Four Beasts Storm!"

Storm patterns appeared on the four beasts summoned by Hans Berg, further strengthening their protective power. The spirituality of the four ancient nations converged on the four beasts, transforming into a seemingly indestructible spiritual power.

Su Nan stared at the four beasts above Hans Berg's head; a fake is still a fake.

The biggest problem with this magic is that its use of the spirituality and spell models of four ancient and powerful nations is still too crude.

Su Nan cast a powerful first-level dispel spell directly on it, and the entire Four Beasts Protection spell was on the verge of collapse.

It was only because Su Nan did not have a high-level dispel magic, while Hans Berg's Four Beasts Blessing magic was of a high level, that the dispel was not successful.

Hans Berg exclaimed in alarm, "Honored guest, what kind of sorcery are you using?"

"I see. In this era, there is no perfect dispelling magic yet."

Su Nan said, "Mr. Hans Berg, your magic level is quite average. Any decent dispelling magician would find your so-called powerful defensive magic laughable."

Su Nan said, "Mr. Hans Berg, I wonder if you can withstand this move?"

Su Nan asked the Black Rye Matriarch to take out thirty bottles of Fire Demon's Wrath from her backpack.

The thirty bottles of Fire Demon's Fury all floated behind Su Nan, and powerful magical energy emanated from the bottle openings, drilling into Su Nan's right hand, where a huge purple lightning bolt appeared.

With the magical amplification from the werewolf-vampire hybrid of Su Nan, followed by the spiritual amplification from the God of Law, and then the sacrifice of thirty bottles of Fire Demon's Wrath, an unprecedentedly powerful potion appeared in Su Nan's hand like lightning, transforming into a thunderous spear aimed at Hans Berg.

Hans Berg's expression changed drastically; he could sense that the magic in Su Nan's hands was incredibly powerful.

This level of magic far exceeded his imagination. If Su Nan were to unleash magic of this caliber, it would definitely destroy the palace.

Then he has committed a grave crime.

Hans Berg said, "Wait a minute, there's no need to fight. I know your strength, and you are indeed qualified to receive preferential treatment from our Emperor."

"The Assyrian Empire ruled by the strong. I apologize to you, now..."

Su Nan didn't stop at all. Instead, he jumped into the air and threw the Thunder Spear he was holding down into the dark, cloud-covered sky.

"Mr. Hans Berg, you can decide to start, but the one who decides whether to end is me."

"Let me see just how strong your Four Beasts Protection Magic is, a defensive magic created by taking advantage of the Assyrian Empire's favorable conditions."

To be honest, this kind of magic could not have been created by someone who wasn't from the Assyrian Empire. He took too many shortcuts and consumed too many resources.

However, the magic that emerged under such abundant resources was bound to be cruder than the magic of later generations.

The purple lightning spear struck the four beasts in the abdomen. Due to Su Nan's dispelling magic, the four beasts were now reacting more slowly.

Then, the thunder spear transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting into the sky and becoming a pillar of lightning that enveloped Hans Berg as well.

The four beasts, composed of the spiritual essence of the four nations, also began to crumble bit by bit.

A full-force attack from southern Jiangsu.

This broke the Four Beasts Blessing of the so-called second-circle wizard, who was ranked among the top three in the Assyrian Empire's defenses.

As the dust settled, Hans Berger, his body tattered and battered, coughed up blood as he braced himself on the ground with his hands.

The official rushed over. "Sir, how are you?"

Su Nan landed from mid-air, reverting to human form and changing into clothes he had taken from the Land of Bones.

The ghouls were stunned.

Dogg the Ghoul looked at Su Nan with some fear and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect that Lord Su Nan could actually fuse the bloodline power of vampires and werewolves."

Elder Doming the Ghoul said, "Truly, new talents emerge in every generation."

"The ghouls haven't left the swamp for a long time; they seem to be falling behind the times."

After landing on the ground, Su Nan immediately seized the moment when everyone was stunned and began to construct the spell model of the [Earth Vein Portal Spell] in his sea of ​​consciousness, which still had most of the work left.

At this moment, no one dared to approach and disturb him.

Even Hans Berg looked on with regret at the deep crater that Su Nan's potion-powered lightning had created in the palace courtyard.

It's important to know that the floors of the Assyrian Empire's palace were paved with various rare magical ores, providing incredible defensive capabilities. This demonstrates just how powerful Su Nan's magic was.

Half an hour later, Su Nan completed the spell model construction for the [Earth Vein Portal], and even optimized the spell once again.

Sunan smiled and said to Hans Berger, "Alright, I'm all ready. We can go see your emperor now."

Hans Berger's smile was somewhat awkward, but in the Assyrian Empire, the powerful were respected, so he could only bow to Sunan.

"please."

The official said, "Then I'll go deal with the aerial battlefield first."

At this time, the war between the Assyrian Empire and the Fairy Wilderness pantheon was raging.

The fairy gods were unwilling to tolerate the existence of the Assyrian Empire any longer, and the Assyrian Empire had almost completely destroyed the several countries it had supported, which were now tied to the prime material plane.

The two sides are irreconcilable enemies.

Su Nan rode in one of the carriages in the honor guard that Hans Berg had brought, while the Rubber Witch, the Rye Mistress, Mary, Vasilian, and others rode in the carriage behind him.

It's at least 10 kilometers from the palace entrance to the emperor's side, so you need to take a carriage with the ceremonial guard to get to the palace faster.

The carriages of the honor guard were enchanted with earth magic, allowing them to travel a thousand miles a day.

They rode in a carriage, passing one triumphal arch after another, and saw the lives of various people in the palace. First was the wizarding quarter, which had obvious characteristics of a high-magic environment, indicating that the earth's spiritual energy had been finely distributed.

The mortal realm, however, was devoid of any magic. Furthermore, the houses inhabited by mortals were far inferior to those of the wizards. Su Nan even observed many mortals within the palace completely naked, without a single piece of clothing.

This was how ordinary people lived inside the palace, let alone those outside the Assyrian imperial palace.

Sitting in the magic carriage, Su Nan saw a mortal residential area, which consisted mainly of simple houses. At the entrance to the area stood a sign that read "Human Mine".

Although Su Nan didn't know what a human mine was, seeing wizard apprentices testing the magical talents and physical constitutions of these mortals in this living area, he knew how the Assyrian Empire planned to treat the mortals.

Those among mortals who possess magical talent can rise through the ranks and become wizards.

Those mortals suitable to be made into flesh golems were captured and subjected to magical transformation.

Therefore, for the Assyrian Empire, ordinary people were like human mines.

Su Nan suddenly realized a problem, and he leaned against the carriage door, thinking about it.

"The Church of Storms restricts people's thinking, while the Assyrian Empire views mortals as ore."

"A world ruled by the Church, versus a world ruled by a wizarding empire... it seems the former is better for mortals."

On Su Nan's forehead, the legal code mark representing the spirituality of the law god began to flash.

"How long can a country that acts so perversely survive?"

The carriage suddenly trembled, and from the distant mining area, a divine light appeared, like the sun in the sky, like an ancient god descending upon the capital of the Assyrian Empire.

As soon as she landed, countless magical powers and floral scents from the wilderness descended, suppressing the magical power of the Assyrian Empire's capital.

Outside the carriage, a wizard from the royal guard cried out in alarm, "Those lowly people dare to secretly worship the gods of the fairy wilderness!"

"They worship the evil god of the Fairy Wilderness, and they held a ceremony to summon the divine incarnation of the evil god of the Fairy Wilderness to descend upon our capital."

"These damned bastards, kill them all! Once all the believers are dead, the divine incarnations of those gods won't last long."

Su Nan sighed from inside the carriage and shook his head, saying, "Wizards were originally a symbol of civilization, and civilization was meant to benefit most people. But is the Assyrian Empire still considered civilized?"

At that moment, Su Nan seemed to have a sudden realization.
