Werewolf wizard

Chapter 359: The Pure White Council's Assassination

Three days later, inside the Black Rye Underground Laboratory, Matriarch Black Rye emerged from her blood coffin. Dressed in a black dress, she was encircled by five semi-transparent rings of blood.

The blood rings rotated around her arms, each rotation causing the crimson runes to combine and then decompose, repeating this cycle.

Matriarch Black Rye looked at her hands in disbelief, saying, "This power is truly incredible."

She teleported from one side of the laboratory to the other, her speed astonishing, everything happening in the blink of an eye.

As a Rank 1 creature, the Vampire Viscount's speed was 50, a speed that crushed even legendary Storm Knights of the same rank. Though, in Su Nan's eyes now, it was nothing more than a snail's pace.

Matriarch Black Rye attempted to use her favored magic, Arcane Missiles, but in the next moment, she realized she couldn't cast spells.

Matriarch Black Rye immediately tried casting Arcane Divination, Arcane Blink, and Arcane Shield, but each time she cast a spell, the five runic blood rings encircling her arm would emit a peculiar flicker.

Then, her spellcasting would fail.

Matriarch Black Rye was momentarily stunned, but she didn't care too much about it. Her expectations weren't high; Rank 1 was enough.

Regardless of what Rank 1 it was, as long as it was Rank 1, that was fine.

It was like a slacker's requirements, which were very low compared to a top student.

Moreover, the Vampire Viscount's potion, after Su Nan's later modifications, had a magical pressure that reached 200 upon birth, making it even more powerful than the previous Vampire Viscount.

The maximum speed didn't change much, but the other physical attributes were greatly improved.

Matriarch Black Rye could feel that she could now easily kill her past self as an Arcanist.

Those trivial arcane spells she used to know couldn't even break through the defenses of this powerful Rank 1 Vampire's body and magical pressure shell.

Therefore, although Matriarch Black Rye was puzzled for a short while, she quickly stopped caring about it.

However, she quickly thought of something and immediately knelt before Su Nan. Becoming a Vampire Viscount made her even more aware of Su Nan's power.

Before, she seemed like an ant, able to see a tall mountain when looking up, but unable to clearly see the mountain's height. Now that she had become a rat, she felt the mountain before her was even taller.

"Great Master, thank you for granting me power and giving me the opportunity to become your slave."

Matriarch Black Rye sincerely said, "Thank you."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow.

Because of the underground world's unique slave culture, even becoming a strong person's slave required a special opportunity. Therefore, the Matriarch Black Rye before him was sincerely thanking him.

Su Nan scanned her arm. He had been observing silently just now.

In his opinion, Matriarch Black Rye's several failed attempts to cast spells didn't mean she couldn't cast spells. In fact, she had almost succeeded a few times.

But for some reason, her spellcasting had failed.

Su Nan instructed the AI to check Matriarch Black Rye's condition.

[Yes, the vampire before you has two types of energy in her body. According to your potion design, the Vampire Viscount's power and her arcane bloodline should coexist peacefully, but during the transformation, the two powers combined to form a new power.]

[The new magical power has caused her original arcane spellcasting to fail.]

[The five blood rings on her arm are speculated to represent her special magical energy reaching Rank 1.]

Su Nan understood. This meant his experiment should be considered a success.

It was just that he needed to modify the arcane magic, adapting it to the vampire version of arcane magic and establishing a new spell model.

Su Nan said to Black Rye, "Starting today, you'll assist me with a series of experiments. Extend your hand."

Matriarch Black Rye obediently extended her left hand.

Su Nan extracted a tube of blood from her left wrist. He needed to carefully observe the changes in the arcane bloodline.

An hour later, Su Nan handed the re-established and upgraded Arcane Missile model to Matriarch Black Rye and personally watched her cast it.

However, this time, Matriarch Black Rye failed again. The five blood rings encircling her right arm reacted even more violently than before. The five blood rings doubled in size, and then countless runes on the blood rings began to light up and then go out.

Back in the laboratory, Matriarch Black Rye finally began to worry. She worried that her inability to cast magic would distance her from Su Nan's laboratory, from Su Nan.

She apologized to Su Nan, "I'm sorry, Master. Please give me another chance. I'll definitely be able to cast it successfully this time… I…"

Su Nan stopped her, saying, "No need. I know the problem isn't with you. Come back in six hours."

Hearing Su Nan's order, Matriarch Black Rye could only silently leave the laboratory.

Su Nan sat in the chair in the laboratory and began to ponder.

He stared at the blood sample of Matriarch Black Rye before him, inputting his magical power into it, and the blood instantly boiled. Then, a mixture of arcane energy and blood magic separated from the blood.

"Did I still misunderstand the characteristics of this new type of magical energy?"

Su Nan realized that this new blood magic was absorbing his magical power, while deconstructing his magical power, and enhancing the magical power in the blood.

"AI, name this magic [Blood Arcane Magic]."

"Next, I'll need some time to study Blood Arcane Magic. And I also need to spare some energy to help Mr. Warwick perfect the werewolf's special energy flow system that he discovered."

"Let's return to Peter Castle first."

A week later, after a period of research, Su Nan confirmed that Blood Arcane Magic had the natural ability to absorb the magic of others, analyze that magic, and perform magic utilization, magic extraction, and magic cracking.

Su Nan immediately understood that the special magical power formed by the unintentional fusion of arcane magic and blood magic was definitely not simple.

As long as it was developed properly, this would definitely be a spell system that would give him and his vampires many trump cards.

Inside the Peter Castle laboratory.

Before Su Nan, were bottles and cans filled with blood samples.

Through thousands of tests, Su Nan discovered that Blood Arcane Magic absorbed and analyzed the other party's magic power fastest through blood contact, followed by magic contact. If there was no magic contact, it was impossible to absorb the other party's magic power.

And if it was just magic contact, the efficiency would be very low, but as long as blood contact was made, the efficiency would become very high.

Based on this characteristic, Su Nan constructed a test-natured Rank 1 spell, [Blood Missile] spell model.

Su Nan picked up a bottle of Matriarch Black Rye's blood and began to construct the Blood Arcane spell. Five blood rings appeared on his wrist, and then, in an instant, the blood rings vibrated violently.

Su Nan narrowed his eyes. The moment to determine the results of his week had arrived. After a brief, violent vibration, the five semi-transparent blood rings suddenly tripled in size, and then countless runes on the blood rings began to light up and then go out.

The five blood rings began to return to their normal state.

Then, time scales appeared on the five blood rings, approximately similar to the time scales of a clock, with twelve scale points. Each blood ring rotated differently, releasing powerful energy, and five blood-colored Arcane Missiles appeared before Su Nan.

Su Nan looked at the Blood Arcane Missiles and thought, "It's a success. The blood magic combined with arcane magic has also become extremely complex to manipulate. The rune changes in the spell model have been transformed into the different rotations of five blood rings with twelve scales each."

"Therefore, the number of blood rings a vampire has determines the upper limit of the spell model's complexity and the upper limit of the spell's strength."

"Perhaps that's why Matriarch Black Rye couldn't complete the spellcasting. Because there was an extra step of converting the spell model into blood ring rotation in the middle."

Su Nan suddenly looked at a shadow next to the window of his laboratory, saying, "Did the Pure White Wizard send you here?"

"You've been in my laboratory for a day and a night now. You didn't think I wouldn't know, did you?"

After Su Nan finished speaking, there was no change in the castle attic window of the laboratory, as if Su Nan was talking to the air.

Su Nan smiled, not caring much, and then released his magical pressure as a Rank 2 wizard.

The powerful magical pressure descended, and a slight gap suddenly appeared in the shadow next to the window. Then, the shadow of a wizard flashed past the window, a look of horror on the wizard's face.

"To think he's a Rank 2 wizard…"

"The magic in his hands is also very strange…"

Su Nan, facing the shadow's departing back, transformed into a Vampire Marquis and took out a tube of Matriarch Black Rye's blood. Using the magic power in the blood, he used the second Blood Arcane Magic he had researched, [Blood Magic Extraction].

Before Su Nan's right hand, a highly complex spell rune array appeared. The five blood rings rotated against each other, and then Su Nan's magical power captured the wizard of the Shadow School (Pure White School). The blood of the wizard's entire body, mixed with his magical power, actually flowed backward towards Su Nan.

The Pure White School's Shadow Assassin Wizard looked terrified. "No… You discovered me long ago, didn't you? You kept me here to experiment with your new spells!"

"No…"

"Rank 2 Wizard, this is a misunderstanding, I…"

"Wait… How do you know I'm from the Pure White School, unless the Shadow Sword Wizard is really in your hands…"

Su Nan immediately understood why the Pure White School had found him a second time.

It must be that the Pure White Wizard hadn't found the whereabouts of the Shadow Sword Wizard for a long time, but at this time, he had returned to the Prime Material Plane, so they found the spiritual aura of the Shadow Sword Wizard on him, so they sent someone to probe him.

It was just that the Pure White School hadn't expected that he was no longer a Rank 1 wizard, but a Rank 2 wizard.

What they didn't expect even more was that the spell research he had been doing recently just happened to need a wizard at the peak of Rank 1 to be the experimental subject.

Su Nan felt the other party trying to resist him, but the rate at which the other party's magic power was being absorbed was even faster than the rate at which he was recovering his magic power, as well as the extent to which he was consuming magic power himself.

Therefore, the other party was unable to escape his [Blood Magic Extraction], which had only been developed to Rank 1.
