Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 97: A Death Knight Equivalent to a First-Class Wizard Apprentice!

Vasilyan drank the potions that Su Nan handed him one by one. He had already drunk the potions that had undergone three ascensions, so these additional potions were no burden for him.

First, there's the Death Coil potion, then the Black Knife Upgrade potion, the Tier 2 Death Barrier potion, and finally the Skeleton Centurion's Command potion.

Death Coil is a skill created by analyzing Wild Grass Entanglement, modifying it, and upgrading it using garden magic plants. Wild Grass Entanglement is a control magic that causes a bunch of wild grass or wild grass seeds to grow rapidly and entangle the enemy.

Death Coil, on the other hand, uses a high concentration of death energy to wrap around the enemy's feet. Because the death magic is so concentrated, it causes the enemy's bodily functions to lose control, as if their body temperature has been stolen.

Enemies hit by this spell, if their constitution is not strong enough, will be covered in frost, unable to move, until they die.

However, against enemies of the same level, this is merely a control skill.

The reason for upgrading the Black Knife with potions is that the Black Knife is still the core of the Death Knight's damage output.

Therefore, by fully enhancing the death and frost power of the black blade, the Death Knight's attack power can be raised to a whole new level.

Similarly, the second-order death barrier operates on the same principle.

The upgraded Death Barrier transformed into a cloak, with some golden runes on its black back.

Those are life energy runes.

Death only has meaning when there is life. Adding some life energy to death can enhance the magic of death.

This is a secret that Su Nan gleaned while becoming a first-class wizard apprentice and fighting against enemies.

Therefore, Su Nan added a small amount of life magic to the Death Knight, which was only to enhance Vasilian's own death power.

The Skeleton Centurion's Command Potion allows the Death Knight to summon those killed by the Black Blade, split them in two, and turn them into two skeleton soldiers.

Like the Ghoul's Proof, this Magic Knight skill doesn't have much use right now, but it could become one of the Death Knight's core skills in the future.

It has high growth potential.

Su Nan mentally commanded the AI: "Analyze the current data of Death Knight Vasilyian."

【Yes. 】

Name: Vasilyan

[Age: 61 at the time of death]

【Strength: 7】

【Speed: 7】

[Physical Constitution: None (Death Knights do not have a physical body, therefore their physical constitution is derived from their mental power)]

【Mental Power: 20】

[Death Magic: 20]

Death Knight Racial Skill 1: Death Transformation

[Death Knight Racial Skill 2: Tier 2 Death Barrier (An upgraded Death Barrier containing a trace of life energy, like the distance between death and life, capable of defending against most enemy attacks, bringing overwhelming terror to the Death Knight.)]

The strength of the Death Barrier is related to magic power. Currently, the Death Barrier strength is 30 (the coefficients change for a second-tier Death Barrier).

[Death Knight Racial Skill 3: Black Blade (This black blade has been upgraded; evidence of this is the appearance of death runes on its surface, allowing it to unleash more powerful death and frost magic when attacking enemies.)]

Death Knight Racial Skill 4: Death Pact Transformation

Death Knight Racial Ability 5: Proof of the Ghoul

The predicted stats for the ghouls are: 0.5, 0.5, 0.5.

[Death Knight Potion Additional Skill 6: Skeleton Centurion's Command (Summon two skeleton warriors to a corpse killed by the Black Blade.)]

The predicted stats for the Skeleton Warrior are: 0.3, 0.3, 0.3.

[Death Knight Potion Enhancement Skill 7: Sword of the Dead]

[Death Knight Potion Enhancement Skill 8: Death Coil]

[Weakness: The power of truly devout faith and strong life energy.]

[The cost of the Death Pact: Death Knights are bound to fear, and Death Knights have an inherent side effect: Lesser Fear Curse. Fear always accompanies the Death Knight unless their mental strength is higher than or at least equal to that of the Death Knight.]

Southern Jiangsu is quite satisfied with this data.

In this way, the Death Knight effectively gains +2 to all attributes except mental strength, and +10 to mental strength.

The Death Knight's mental strength has now reached 20, placing him at the level of a first-class wizard apprentice.

However, the Death Knight is only a part of his magic, not a true wizard. In addition, the Death Knight is not a living person, and Su Nan had already taken precautions during the potion-making process. Because a rapid increase in mental strength could make mental illnesses a reality, Vasilian did not need to go through or skip the Mind Zen.

Or rather, the pain and torment he endured while digesting the potion was his mental meditation.

The Death Knight's normal melee stats are actually inferior to those of the mutated werewolf. Although the Death Knight's normal melee stats are generally 7, while the mutated werewolf's are 6, the mutated werewolf has a universal spell—Demonic Blood Charge.

Once the Magic Blood Charging is activated, magical energy is transformed into blood in the veins, which can improve all aspects of physical fitness by 3-5.

Therefore, in terms of melee combat ability, the werewolf is currently the strongest, but the Death Knight's advantage is that he is a magic knight.

The Death Knight also has 20 points of Spirit and a set of spells to match it.

It's not much, but it's enough.

Ghoul's Proof and Skeleton Centurion's Command can both be used as minor harassment spells. Black Knife provides basic attack damage, Death Barrier and Death Transformation provide defense, Death Coil is a control skill, and Words of the Dead is an ultimate skill that can increase damage output per unit time when necessary.

Furthermore, there is the Death Pact Transformation, which allows the Death Knight to absorb the enemy's life force to restore their own magic power. Because of the Death Transformation Body, when a Death Knight restores their magic power, they are essentially restoring their own life force.

It has basic attacks, crowd control, defense, ultimate skills, and even healing and harassment abilities.

Death Knight Vashjian is definitely the most versatile and all-around character under my command right now.

Most importantly, his death barrier also utilizes technology from beings in the energy world, and is a unit he specifically uses to deal with wizards.

It's also one of his trump cards right now—the Wizard Slayer!

While Mario's Brown Shield can counter the wizard's magic, his primary target is too large, practically an open secret, making it difficult to avoid attracting attention.

Secondly, because Brown's Shield does not specialize in any one area, although its defensive range and adaptability are better than Death Barrier, it is not as specialized in defensive spells as Death Barrier.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow and looked up at the sky. "Those two Forgotten Ones have reached the exact location of the Tree of Life."

"Wolves, let's go."

Su Nan cannot guarantee that the passage leading out of the maze from the Ancient Tree of Life is a one-time use item.

To prevent the Forsaken from leaving the labyrinth and becoming trapped, one must arrive at the Tree of Life along with the Forsaken to better assess the situation.

Fortunately, he had been slowly following behind the Forgotten Ones these past few days, so they hadn't fallen behind.

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. "In that case, let's continue having that super werewolf deacon keep an eye on that sorceress."

"Ideally, I'll deal with this trapped situation once I've truly taken over Four Seasons Garden."

"It would be best if she didn't cause me any trouble before then."

The old butler, Warwick, chimed in, "Young master, I don't think that sorceress will ever settle down."
