A Meeting
The vengeful spirit wearing red robes continuously attacked, clawing strips of flesh off of Leylin’s body.
Leylin’s expression of anger turned into indifference.
A few minutes later, he opened his mouth with difficulty, “Gurisasi ~ duoluxian!”
A dark-green flame burned on Leylin’s body, setting everything in the experiment lab ablaze….
“Hu…”
After the dark-green flame was extinguished, Leylin recovered his mobility.
At this moment, he finally had enough strength to look around at his surroundings.
The experiment lab was the same as before, all apparatus lying neatly in their original position.
As for the pentagon formation, it had lost all of its light, and the vengeful spirit was nowhere to be found.
On Leylin, there were no traces of injuries, yet his expression did not seem well.
It was because different indicators flashed from the A.I. Chip:
[Host has suffered from an unknown forcefield attack, determined from the database to be caused by a vengeful spirit! vitality decreased by 0.1] [Host has suffered from an unknown forcefield attack, determined from the database to be caused by a vengeful spirit! vitality decreased by 0.1] [Host has suffered from an unknown forcefield attack, determined from the database to be caused by a vengeful spirit! vitality decreased by 0.1]
After 3 indications, Leylin’s face looked even more awful, “A.I. Chip, show me my current status!”
[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Level 3 acolyte, Knight. Strength: 3.1, Agility: 3.3, Vitality: 3.4, Spiritual force: 16.1, Magic power: 16 (magic power is in synchronisation with Spiritual Force). Status: Healthy]
After the upgrade from using Tears of Mary, Leylin’s Spiritual Force reached 16.1. However, his vitality decreased by 0.3. Clearly, this was caused by the attack of the vengeful spirit.
“As expected, an ancient potion’s formulary cannot be modified so easily!”
Leylin sighed. He acted on his own initiative, changing many processes of the formulary, thus causing such an outcome.
“However, this decrease in vitality, compared to the increase in Spiritual Force, shows the value of this potion!”
Leylin was certain of his modified formulary for the ancient potion, Tears of Mary.
“Ancient potion – Tears of Mary modification successful, Host to give a name!”
The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned.
“Blood Vengeance Potion!” Leylin thought of the final, flash of red, blurting out the name.
Although this potion requires a vengeful spirit as an ingredient, which was somewhat cruel, it was a potion that was hard to come by!
A single use could raise Spiritual Force by 3 points! The only minor backlash was : it was on the same level as the Azure Potion that Leylin had modified before.
As for the formulation process of this potion, it was somewhat ruthless. However, Leylin did not bother about it.
For Leylin, carrying out ruthless actions and even killing people, was well within reason when in the face of benefits!
People who only kill for joy were mental and inhumane.
In his previous world, the environment was peaceful, so naturally he had also advocated peace then.
However, in the Magus World, war was everywhere. Deaths occurred daily. The plebeians who faced dawn did not know if they would be alive to see the sun set.
The law of the jungle and survival of the fittest were proclaimed explicitly by various powerful guilds and organisations.
After coming to this world, Leylin followed ‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do’ and this became a completely egotistical person.
As long as this potion was beneficial and did not cause him much hassle, he would not hesitate to create more of it!
“This is the feeling of achieving 16 Spiritual Force, huh? How amazing!”
Leylin shut his eyes, feeling the difference this increase brought him.
Under his control, the Spiritual Force seemed to be a silver thread as it swept past every item in the room. Moreover, each of the item’s physical shape was perceived within Leylin’s mind.
For regular acolytes, this was an extremely fresh feeling. However, Leylin saw that after a certain standard was achieved in Spiritual Force, it had a scanning effect similar to that of the A.I. Chip!
“This effect, if mastered properly, could discover a majority of ambushes, never having to fear for another sneak attack!”
Leylin appreciated the wondrous use of the Spiritual Force.
“It’s a pity, however. For me, this is not as useful as the A.I. Chip!”
In his sea of consciousness, waves of Spiritual Force constantly surged at the borders, continuously expanding the area of the sea.
“Only that this external change is too obvious!”
Leylin picked up a bronze mirror. On the screen of the bronze mirror, a brown-haired youthful countenance was reflected. However, a pair of gleaming eyes flashed like diamonds in the night.
Normally, the upper limits of Spiritual Force for level 3 acolytes were 15, yet Leylin far exceeded this figure.
