Chapter 120 - Three Winners; Silver Falcon, Ouly, And Amelia
Lendy didn\'t delay, as she opened the bottle, sniffed its content like a cat, before she drank it all in one breath. After she finished, she looked at Arthur as she complained:
"I felt nothing at all!" she just said it, and her face started to change. Inside her body, the elixir just started to work, where her breath formed a long line of mist, that turned into ice, before crashing away.
Her body suddenly turned soft, as her eyes swayed with her body, before closing them while falling on the ground.
"Caught you," Arthur was the closest to her, so he managed to catch her body. The moment he touched her skin, he felt extremely icy, feeling pricking on his own, but he endured. He carried her body and put her, gently, on one of the beds there, while glancing at her for a moment.
The effect of the elixir was far stronger than he imagined, or perhaps it was because her body was so pure, didn\'t have any potions before.
He just was about to return, when he noticed her breath started to take a certain shape around her body, a cocoon! He smiled, as this was a sign for any evolution.
He returned to his own seat, with a content smile over his face.
"Is she going to be alright?" Silver Falcon asked, as he was kind of worried, not on his master, but on himself when he would drink the liquid bottle in hand.
"She is going to be ok," Arthur said, while pointing towards the bottle in Silver Falcon\'s hand, "Drink it already, as this will take quite some time to transform your body."
The elixirs he made was supposed to help him unleash his dragonair powers, something that could have killed him if he did it before. For these mages, these elixirs would magically transform their bodies, cleanse them all from any residuals that would hinder their advance.
In the case of Lendy, Arthur knew she was evolving, jumping on ranks of talent, at least one rank higher, which would be hard on someone with her age and talent.
Silver Falcon was different, he was still young, so his body and talent would react fiercer to the elixir.
Arthur suddenly thought of the super elixir he once made, and started to wonder if he drank it, would it make him stronger and better or not?
While he was lost in thoughts, Silver Falcon drank the potion in one gulp. As Arthur expected, the moment the fluid entered his body, his body twitched, while fire wisps started to appear all over his body, burning his whole clothes and gears.
"Are you okay?" Omgalden gasped as he hurried to him while asking.
"I\'m…" Silver falcon paused, as he clenched his fists more than once, "I\'m fine, no, I\'m great!" he said it with a wide smile over his face before laughing, like a mad man, with arched back and his head to the ceiling of the tent.
He was feeling a gush of extreme violent power seeping into his body, cleaning his organs, making them far stronger than before. Even his inner demons weren\'t excluded from this, as they were cleansed as well.
"Go outside, and sat on the ground, close your eyes and just try to guide the power in you towards your most important strength," Arthur suddenly said, giving him some important pointers, so he could get the best use out of this elixir.
"What strength?" he asked, humbly with much respect for Arthur.
"Your inner demon," Arthur said, as this was, obviously, the most important thing for mages like him.
He just nodded, while moving to the outside, choosing a place without anything around, and sat on the ground meditating like Arthur told him to do.
No one here noticed that the fire wisps were pointing towards one direction, towards Arthur. They were all astonished by what was happening to him, and didn\'t notice this slight detail.
"Now, there are another four elixirs, two of each type, who would take which?" Arthur said, while pointing to the elixirs on the table, grabbing their attention over them.
He knew, no matter what attribute was for the mage, using any type of elixir would benefit the mage no matter what. However, trying to use the most suitable one would yield wonderful results, like what was happening to Silver Falcon right now.
Lacking any systematic approach to assess his followers attributes and main point of strengths, he had no argument in them using the wrong elixirs for now, at least they wouldn\'t be harmed, and would gain some benefits.
Omgalden and Torend each took a fire potion, while their subordinates took the remaining two ice potions. The four, however, showed the same reaction as Lendy, as they all lost their consciousness, with those taking fire potions had a layer of fire forming a cocoon around their bodies, while the ice potion takers showed the same thing like Lendy.
Arthur just glanced at them and sighed, as he knew they would benefit, but the winner here would be Silver Falcon alone. He just regretted not having a decent way to estimate each one\'s attributes, or else he would have more than one winner here.
Bloom then glanced at the rest, who were supposed to come with him to the academy, and sighed, before taking out potions enough for them.
"Take them, and get more strength."
They all looked at the potions, before they took what suited them. Amelia, on the other hand, took the fire potion, in contrast to what Bloom expected. Amidst them all, she and Ouly had the best results, as they didn\'t lose their consciousness, and both had extreme reactions to the elixirs once they ingested them.
Ouly took the ice potion, forming a fog of ice, coalesced together like a cloud surrounding his body, as for Amelia, her whole body was on fire, and even her clothes were now burning.
"Come with me," Bloom said, as he grabbed her hand, without feeling anything when touching the fire, walking outside the tent. He selected a nearby tent, entered in it first, before he cut the top of it, so it wouldn\'t burn by her fire.
"Come inside," he said, after pushing away everything inside this tent outside it. Amelia entered, feeling some strange feeling from his care on her image, as her clothes were about to disappear, revealing her soft body.
"Sit here and I will make my Don stand out to guard you," he said while smiling to reassure her, before summoning Don and ordering it to stand here on guard, preventing anyone from entering.
Meditation couldn\'t be done with a distracted mind, or disturbed soul, that was a basic lesson Arthur knew very well. He knew she wouldn\'t concentrate, fearing to be exposed to anyone coming and seeing her in this position and situation.
So, he made everything for her to be helpful for her meditation, while she mistook it for another reason, out of his honest care.
"Thank you," she muttered, to the emptiness that he was occupying minutes ago before closing her eyes, and starting to control her energy the way she heard him instruct Silver Falcon from before.
