Werewolf wizard

In the desert, the mummy wizard extended his withered hand and pointed at Su Nan. Then, he spoke. The moment he opened his mouth, Su Nan saw soul fire in his throat.

'Did he magically transform his body into a kind of undead creature?' Su Nan thought. 'I can feel a special will contained within his magic.'

Su Nan looked at the mummy wizard before him, as if seeing an eternal desert.

The mummy wizard pointed at Su Nan and said, "Greetings, young Rank 2 wizard."

"I am the guardian wizard of the Sahara Desert. I am responsible for guarding an extremely evil being within the Sahara Desert. I sensed an extremely powerful energy here, seemingly a divine artifact of the God of Magic. Have you seen it?"

Su Nan understood that the other party was unsure if a divine artifact existed and what kind it was. Even more uncertain was the artifact's whereabouts. He didn't know that the artifact had been exiled into the Gemini Plane by him and sealed within the natural plane prison.

Blackthorn immediately followed and appeared behind the mummy wizard.

Matriarch Blackthorn angrily said, "Master, this is the wizard who attacked me."

Blackthorn used Blood Arcane magic, adhering her magic power to the mummy wizard's and beginning to draw upon his.

The mummy wizard immediately took action. "A very interesting magic system, but it is still immature and incomplete."

In the next moment, he teleported in front of Matriarch Blackthorn and punched her in the chest. In an instant, Matriarch Blackthorn's body was enveloped in sand, turning into a sand ball rolling across the desert.

Then, countless grains of sand from the desert continuously converged towards the sand ball, accumulating to form a pyramid-like structure. Countless sealing runes appeared on the surface of this pyramid structure.

Matriarch Blackthorn was sealed again in an instant.

The mummy wizard lowered his head and looked at his hands, his pupils slightly constricting because even though Matriarch Blackthorn was sealed, she was still using Blood Arcane magic.

Blood Arcane magic was drawing, absorbing, and analyzing his magic power.

"So that's how it is. The seal is still formed from my magic power, so even if I seal you, you can still absorb my magic power."

"Truly excellent magic."

"I sensed that she is immortal, so I can only seal her." The mummy wizard said somewhat apologetically to Su Nan, "Young wizard of the Prime Material Plane, I urgently need power to resist the approaching evil forces."

"I need enough power to maintain that seal."

"If you see any divine artifacts, please tell me their location."

"There are no lingering traces of spirituality here..."

Su Nan glanced at the sealing magic used on Matriarch Blackthorn, confirming that this person's magical level was the highest he had ever seen.

Of course, there was one exception to exclude—Emperor Casbin.

'A sealer? Approaching evil? Could it be...' Su Nan asked, not answering, inquiring of him, "Is the seal you guard related to the Seven Kings of the Energy World?"

The mummy wizard did not speak.

But from his lack of response, Su Nan guessed the answer. 'It seems that there are still several of the Seven Kings who have not escaped their seals. But their subordinates should become increasingly eager to break their seals.'

Su Nan said, "Have you considered that even if you possess a divine artifact and enhance your magical power, if you are still unable to protect the seal, not only will the seal be broken at that time, but the divine artifact in your hands will also fall into the hands of the Energy World."

Su Nan had seen a simplified array diagram of the seals on the Seven Kings from two thousand years ago in the Golden Wizard's collection. After all, at that time, the wizard society had brainstormed to research a seal specifically for sealing the Seven Kings.

Among them, there were even references to Emperor Casbin of the Assyrian Empire's plane gravity array.

Because Emperor Casbin was the first to achieve the wizard sealing of a deity.

So Su Nan knew how hopeless it was to guard a seal that was more than two thousand years old. If the seal was intact, then there would still be a chance to fight.

But according to Su Nan's estimate, combined with the Energy World's invasion and assimilation speed, the seal itself that sealed the Seven Kings was already crumbling at this moment.

Those seals themselves were no longer usable.

This was the seal time that the Seven Kings had budgeted in advance. I am afraid that even when the wizard society brainstormed to create this seal array, many spies had infiltrated it, thus indirectly influencing the current situation.

The mummy wizard's emotions fluctuated as expected. "No, that won't happen. As long as we guardians are here, the King of Self-Inflicted Calamity will not be unsealed."

"The divine artifact will not fall into the hands of the enemy either. Young wizard, have you really not seen a divine artifact?"

Seeing that he had already begun to suspect him, Su Nan decisively shook his head. "No. When I came here, I only saw traces of battle."

"The divine artifact has disappeared."

"I suspect it was taken away by someone."

Upon hearing this, the mummy wizard immediately looked up at Su Nan, observing the spiritual fluctuations on Su Nan's body through the pair of dry eyes wrapped in yellow cloth. As long as there was a trace of spirituality on Su Nan related to the divine artifact, he would take action.

After all, the chaotic desert he guarded had reached the edge of life and death, and he had to obtain more powerful power.

As for whether the divine artifact would instead fall into the hands of the Energy World as a result, that was not something he needed to consider. Anyway, he would die in battle before the divine artifact fell into the hands of the Energy World.

"Indeed, there are no lingering traces of spirituality from any divine artifact on you," the mummy wizard said. "You are not carrying anything either."

"It seems that you really have nothing to do with the divine artifact. I apologize for sealing your subordinate, but if I didn't, she would be too noisy."

The mummy wizard suddenly discovered something and pointed to the Bone Ground necklace on Su Nan's chest. "A Rank 2 wizard like you actually uses such a simple Rank 1 wizard item as your storage tool."

"That's right."

"In this era of scarce resources, everyone is struggling."

As the mummy wizard pointed to the Bone Ground necklace on Su Nan's chest, the Zero Potion that Su Nan had previously placed in the Bone Ground automatically left the Bone Ground necklace and appeared in front of Su Nan.

Su Nan frowned slightly.

There was no way around it. The Bone Ground's magic level was too low. When encountering a Rank 2 wizard proficient in sealing magic, it was indeed easy for the other party to directly break through and take out the magical items from his necklace, bypassing him.

Moreover, the eye area of the mummy wizard in front of him seemed to have undergone special magical modification, allowing him to see the various items he had placed in the Bone Ground and the undead town inside the Bone Ground through space.

“Are you a pharmacist?” After examining the Potion Zero, the mummy wizard began to show a hint of respect for Su Nan, even taking the initiative to salute him. “It is because the wizard civilization has talented wizards like you that the upper limit of the wizard civilization continues to increase.”

“And the purpose of our old guys is to assist you genius wizards. After more than two thousand years, several ebbs of the magical tide, and the combination of the magical tide and the dark primal force, we guardian wizards have very little initial power left.”

“Although we second-ring wizards don't have much initial power, it doesn't matter.”

“But it still greatly affects our combat effectiveness, and the higher the initial power, the more it can resist the evil spells of the energy world.”

“If possible, can I trade with you for this bottle of potion you refined? I just don't know if you can mass-produce this potion.”

Su Nan glanced at the mummy wizard in surprise. The mummy wizard in front of him was mysterious and unpredictable, and seemed to have already concluded that the artifact had nothing to do with Su Nan. He didn't need to be foolish enough to become an enemy of such an opponent.

Even if he won, what would he get?

Therefore, Su Nan smiled and said, “This kind of potion can be refined in relatively large quantities. It's just that this is the first bottle of this kind of potion I've refined, and I don't even dare to take it myself. Senior, if you want to buy it, as long as you offer a sufficient price, then I will agree to the trade.”

“It's just that I need to find some experimental subjects to test the efficacy of the medicine. So…”

The mummy wizard waved his hand: “We are just a group of withered bones, using the last bit of strength to protect that seal. We are not precious, we don't need experimental subjects. If possible, I want to exchange for this bottle of potion now, take it myself, and increase some of my initial power.”

“And I am very sure that your potion, at least for my body, has no problems.”

Su Nan sized up the mummy wizard.

The mummy wizard explained: “This body was specially created to seal the Seven Great Kings, in order to isolate the evil aura of the Seven Great Kings—the evil aura naturally emitted by the Seven Great Kings is enough to bewitch people's hearts, make good people fall, and turn bad people into demons.”

“I mean—real demons.”

“People often say that as long as you have a kind heart, you can change yourself and change the surrounding environment. But facing the evil aura of the Seven Great Kings… no one can rely on the so-called emotional changes in their heart to resist that evil aura.”

“Even second-ring wizards and third-ring wizards can't do it.”

“As long as there is a flaw in our hearts, we will fall if we stay next to the seal of the Seven Great Kings for a long time.”

“Therefore, we have transformed our bodies into the current [Inertial Surgery Transformation] body. Under normal circumstances, any side effects are useless on this body. Even in the harsh environment of the receding magical tide, this body can retain its sanity and survive.”

The mummy wizard said to Su Nan: “I accidentally said too much.”

Su Nan said: “Senior, you have done your best for the seal, even after death. I admire you.”

He saluted slightly, this was a salute to the pioneers and those who have made significant contributions to the wizard civilization.

The mummy wizard was somewhat gratified, then he took out a dull yellow dead egg from the magic space ring worn on the palm under the yellow cloth strip of his withered right hand. “In your Bone Land, there is a dead phoenix egg, and this is a blue dragon egg that was frozen to death due to insufficient magical tide.”

“I want to use this egg to exchange for your bottle of potion.”

“Of course, as an added bonus, I will immediately take your potion on the spot and let you observe whether your potion has any side effects or what the expected effects are.”

Su Nan's eyes lit up slightly. “Of course, let's exchange.”

It seemed that the other party couldn't figure out his strength either, so he chose to use a trade.

Of course, it was also possible that the other party didn't want internal strife among the wizards, which would waste the resources of the current wizard society for no reason.

The two completed the exchange. Su Nan checked the blue dragon egg he had obtained and did not find any magical traces remaining. However, he still carefully used a powerful magical dispel on the blue dragon egg.

Su Nan used fairy dust to make the blue dragon egg float in the air. “Legend has it that blue dragons possess a water magic affinity physique similar to that of water elemental lords.”

“But the temperature of this egg is still too low, it's because the previous magical tide was insufficient.”

“But I can extract the spirituality from it and refine many powerful potions.”

Su Nan secretly ordered the intelligent brain: 'Intelligent brain, start deducing what kind of potion can be refined with the spirituality of the blue dragon dead egg.'

With this, he could say that he had another trump card.

This added some bricks and tiles to the upcoming decisive battle with the Storm Fortress forces.

At the same time, the mummy wizard opened the lid of Potion Zero and then eagerly drank it all in one gulp.

A huge initial power suddenly enveloped his body.

It was almost about to materialize into liquid.

With the mummy wizard's body as the center, a magical illusion appeared, that illusion seemed to be a womb nurturing life.

Life was being re-nurtured in it, undergoing some special changes, and the subsequent substance was transformed into initial power, bestowed upon the newborn infant.

That was the power of life, a more profound secret.

And all of this should have been very difficult to observe with the naked eye, but under the effect of Potion Zero, all the mysteries were so directly displayed in front of the wizard's eyes.

The mummy wizard could be seen at the center of the womb transformed by the initial power, with several translucent blood vessels connected to the surface of his body.

Initial power was being transported to his body, and a black, foul-smelling substance was flowing out of another blood vessel in his body.

Su Nan observed the black, foul-smelling substance. “That's right, since there is initial power, there must be some substance that constantly degrades the initial power and then appears, harming the life source of living organisms.”

Su Nan used telekinesis to seal the black substance discharged from the mummy wizard's body in the White Birch Tree Stabilizing Potion.

Su Nan took another look, confirming that the black substance in the White Birch Tree Stabilizing Potion was still stable. “The properties of this waste are very stable.”

“Thinking carefully, when I fought the Primal Death before, when he used the third-order death, I seemed to vaguely feel this power.”

“However, relevant inspections are still needed to know what this is.”
