Wizard:Start as a Potion Master

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Will of Magic



In the mystical realm, on the wild plains, Su Nan transformed into a Werewolf Alpha. This transformation, in the mystical realm, felt easier and more seamless than in the material world. His speed also seemed noticeably enhanced in this form.

Leaping beside the blind spider, Su Nan hurled a Sleepworm Potion at its head while chanting an incantation. The purple potion vaporized into a dense mist, forming swarms of Sleepworms that burrowed into the spider through the pores on its energy-coated body.

The spider's movements slowed briefly, but it quickly regained its agility.

Su Nan furrowed his brow. "It worked...but not for long."

[Analysis:]

Your magical energy was partially assimilated into the spider's energy shell. However, the potion's effects lingered briefly due to the will imbued within your magic resisting the shell's assimilation.

Energy-based life forms inherently counteract conventional spells but struggle against magic imbued with strong personal will.

This underscores an essential principle: Wizardry is not merely the manipulation of energy but the manifestation of the wizard's personal will, which can influence the very nature of the magic.

Further data collection on such energy-based creatures could allow replication of their energy shell technology, enhancing the combat capabilities of the Ghostly Death Knight Potion significantly.

Su Nan's thoughts began to whirl. Could it be that wizards of the past had encountered such creatures in large numbers?

He sprang backward, narrowly evading the spider's lunge. Using his steel claws, he severed one of its legs with a single, swift swipe.

It cut through?

Seizing the opportunity, Su Nan advanced relentlessly. With each strike, his claws shredded the spider's remaining limbs, one by one. The once-dominant spider, impervious to spells and capable of neutralizing spectral constructs, was helpless against Su Nan's raw, physical assaults.

Finally, Su Nan stomped the spider's head underfoot and tore its last leg apart. "AI, why is physical combat so effective against it?"

[Analysis:]

Your base strength of 2 far surpasses its own physical attributes.

The spider's energy shell is highly effective against magical and ethereal attacks but falters under powerful physical strikes. Your claws tore through its flesh more easily than they would through iron.

Material-world attacks seem inherently more effective against such creatures.

Su Nan noticed the spider twitching in apparent agony beneath his foot. "AI, analyze what's happening to it."

[Further Analysis:]

Wolfbane Toxin: Your claws introduced a combination of physical venom and magical poison into the creature. While its energy shell neutralized the magical poison, the physical venom infiltrated its body, causing immense pain. It appears that any material substance entering its system inflicts severe damage.

[Conclusion:]

It's dying.

With a loud explosion, the spider's body disintegrated, leaving behind a polluted patch of ground where no plant life could grow.

The Orr Protector hurried over. "Master Su Nan, are you unharmed?"

Su Nan waved him off. "I'm fine."

Though the spider's death unleashed a wave of energy contamination, the mystical realm's magical environment mitigated its effects. Su Nan's internal magic cleansed his body with ease.

Standing tall, his Werewolf Alpha form exuded an aura of potent magic and unwavering willpower. The spider's lingering energy contamination had no avenue to penetrate his defenses.

Su Nan frowned, muttering to himself, "I haven't found a wizard yet, but I've already encountered creatures like this. It's a reminder—I need to strengthen myself further and relentlessly pursue the infinite potential of magic."

He gave another command to his AI. Analyze optimal strategies for combating similar creatures. How should I handle more or stronger energy-based entities if I encounter them in the future?

[Recommendations:]

1. Leverage the Werewolf Potion series: The wolf form's physical prowess naturally counters energy shells. Prioritize the Super Werewolf Potion development.

2. Enhance Wolfbane Toxin: Physical toxins are exceptionally effective against energy-based entities. Improvements to this toxin can be made after finalizing the Super Werewolf Potion.

3. **Incorporate energy-shell-inspired technology into the Ghostly Death Knight Potion: Simulating this technology would bolster combat effectiveness against similar threats.

4. Deploy Storm Knights and their squires: Traditional physical combatants like Storm Knights could effectively counter such creatures.

Su Nan paused, recalling something the Orr Protector had once mentioned. The Gray Soil Cemetery had considered allying with the Church. But why would a wizarding organization with formal wizards need the Church's aid?

Unless...they were facing an invasion from energy-based worlds.

Su Nan turned to the Orr Protector. "How many types of energy worlds are there?"

The Orr Protector regarded Su Nan with awe, his respect deepening after witnessing the wizard defeat an energy-based creature alone. "Master Su Nan, I apologize, but my knowledge of energy worlds is limited."

"Two millennia ago, energy-world research was one of the mainstream focuses among wizards. Even third-class apprentices could discuss the topic casually, but genuine expertise required a first-class apprentice's qualifications."

"I've heard of the basic elemental worlds—fire, water, air, and earth—and smaller dimensions like the Cloud Realm and Solar Corona Realm. But there are also more sinister places, such as the Abyss, t

he Void, and Hell itself."

"Master Su Nan, where do you think that creature came from?"
