Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 96 Death Knight Gets a Full Upgrade!

The two Forgotten Ones began their journey toward the location of the Tree of Life.

However, the garden maze is quite large. Even if the maze stopped them from moving around all the time, it would still take them a considerable amount of time just to get around and deal with the insects that might attack them along the way.

Therefore, Su Nan simply instructed the super werewolf deacon that was following them to continue monitoring and tracking them.

He already knew the general area of ​​the Tree of Life, but not its exact location. Now, the two Forgotten Ones would lead him to the precise entrance to the Tree of Life.

Before that, Su Nan began to upgrade the Death Knight Vasilian using the newly acquired information and existing materials.

The Ghostly Death Knight Potion is a secondary enhancement potion, far exceeding the value of a regular werewolf curse conversion potion. Su Nan drew inspiration from the two-star bloodline warlock and the ritual conversion dagger, greatly reducing the time needed for the AI ​​to calculate the new Death Knight Potion formula.

three days later.

The AI ​​derived the recipe for the Ghost Elite Death Knight potion, which has undergone three levels of refinement. It also analyzed the [Skeleton Centurion's Command Potion], [Black Blade Upgrade Potion], [Second-Tier Death Barrier Potion], and [Death Coil Potion] from the necromancy spell model that summons a skeleton.

The reason for such a rapid progress is not only due to Su Nan's increased spellcasting ability and the abundance of magical plants in the Magic Plant Garden, which has yielded many new spell models and meditation techniques, but also the core principle of the group grass spirit transformation ritual, which can effectively improve the Death Knight's magic conversion efficiency.

The complexity of this group of grass spirit transformation ritual was as if it were a simplified version of a formal wizard's magic.

Its core principles, according to the AI's speculation, are at the level of a formal wizard.

Moreover, it's based on the theoretical level of a senior, officially recognized wizard.

Su Nan suspected that the group of grass spirits transformation ritual discovered in the wooden house was probably taught to his apprentice or servant by the formal wizard.

In short, the biggest benefit of obtaining that transformation ritual was that it allowed for the improvement and enhancement of an entire Death Knight potion system within three days.

Because the Death Knight potion is so unique, Su Nan simply separated it from the Ghost series of potions.

This is equivalent to Death Knight potions becoming an independent series.

In the sunflower thicket, before the cauldron, Su Nan placed the core material for elite death knights—the highly poisonous nightshade plant, Black Datura—into the cauldron.

The abstract concept of a golden mandala is happiness, while the abstract concept of a black mandala is revenge and love. In the past life, the mandala in Buddhism represented the Buddhist worldview, the six realms of sentient beings and reincarnation.

In order to extract the inner magic of the black mandala, Su Nan also put a clump of soil from a hidden grave in front of the wooden house into the crucible.

Instantly, the magic of the black mandala was extracted.

The liquid potion inside the crucible rapidly turned a deep black, and at the same time, the ground beneath Su Nan's feet began to blur.

It's like all things in the world are subject to reincarnation and rebirth.

Finally, Su Nan tossed five gold coins into it. "The Elite Death Knight potion is ready. It seems the side effects are a bit too strong, but oh well, I chose to use Black Datura, a plant with powerful magic."

"But this will maximize the power of elite death knights at the third ascension stage."

"Moreover, I'm running out of gold coins. As my potion-making skills have improved, my gold coin consumption has increased from one or two coins at the beginning to four or five coins every time I make a potion. I need to think of a way to make money."

Su Nan thought for a moment and muttered to himself, "Finding a gold mine and robbing other people's gold coins are both the best ways to solve the financial crisis."

Su Nan poured the potion from the crucible into a glass bottle.

Su Nan looked at the potion in his hand.

Elite Death Knight potions constantly emanate death magic, drawing everything around them closer to death.

The AI ​​speculates that ordinary humans with a mental strength below 2 could be induced to develop neurological disorders such as depression simply by standing next to this potion, and under long-term influence, they might even commit suicide or other serious incidents.

Su Nan handed the potion to Vasilyan. "Vasilyan, you can choose not to drink this potion. Unlike werewolf potions, death knight potions do not require injury or the activation of ferocity, but if you want to ascend three times, you will suffer immense pain the moment you drink it."

"Only by enduring this pain can you achieve transcendence."

As soon as Su Nan finished speaking, Vasilyan drank it down without hesitation.

"My master."

"The greatest pain in my life was caused to me by the Church of Storms."

"They lied to me for over sixty years."

"Until my vengeful rage has subsided in the slightest, all suffering will only fuel my hatred for the Church and nourish my strength. Let me live with suffering and be reborn in it."

"Anything that cannot destroy me, that hurts me, will only make me stronger."

"For me, the black datura flower symbolizes rebirth."

The moment Vasilian drank the elite death knight potion, black flames began to appear on his plate armor.

The deathly magic even caused the giant insects near the mushroom garden to flee and stay away.

The mushrooms in the mushroom garden have also begun to wither.

Plant magic also began to show flaws in its operation due to the power of death magic.

Vasilyan himself let out a muffled groan, as if he were forcibly enduring pain.

Of all those present, only Su Nan could fully comprehend the immense pain Vasilian was enduring. The magic of the black mandala and the potion would subject him to a cycle of torment, only to be reborn after each cycle.

Essentially, this is a ritual.

The Ascension of a Death Knight is an Ascension performed through ritual.

On the ground beneath Vasilian's feet, the death transformation ritual of the inverted pentagram reappeared, only this time, each pentagram of the inverted pentagram array was inscribed with dense and complex runes stained with blood.

At the top of the inverted pentagram array, there is a rectangular pattern, which is the death pact signed between Su Nan, Vasilyan, and the three parties of death.

At this moment, new text automatically begins to appear in the blank areas of the death contract.

The script is the ancient Mogu script.

This script was obtained by Su Nan by chance from the Peter family's collection of books, and he deciphered it. It is a script commonly used by necromancers.

Words are inherently evil; even ordinary people find them sinister and terrifying when they simply read them aloud.

Because Mogu script is the ancient script of necromancers, this script... is naturally spiritual and capable of summoning spirits.

Vasilyan suddenly roared to the sky, and with his roar, a black blade automatically appeared in his hand and was stuck into the ground.

The transformation ritual disappeared, and the death flames on Vasilian's body also disappeared, signifying that his third ascension was successful.

A death rune appeared on Vasilian's chest, near his heart.

This represents the high concentration of death magic within him, signifying Vasilien's level of danger. It is both death itself's warning to life and death's blessing upon the Death Knight.

The Death Knight is not only a product of psychic magic created by Su Nan using potions, but also an agent of death itself on earth.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense. Blom took the initiative to break the solemnity by leading the applause and jokingly said in a slick manner, "Mr. Vasilyan, you're really something. If it were me, I'd probably be screaming in pain."

"I probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to undergo three sublimations unless an enemy forced me to."

"But Mr. Vasilyan, you were indeed a clergyman before; you speak much more culturedly than I do."

Vasilyan bowed to Sunan in gratitude, then said to Blom, "Mr. Blom, please don't make fun of me."

Mario Stonecaster asked Vasilyan with some anticipation, "Vasilyan, you're so cultured, could you teach me to read?"

"I recently discovered that Blom doesn't recognize some of the words at all; he's trying to fool me."

Vasilyan looked up at the giant stone man with a somewhat speechless expression.

Seeing that his team members were getting along so well, Su Nan naturally didn't need to interrupt them. He simply handed the Death Knight's additional potion to Vasily.
