The Last Magic Potion

With a few stone grains on his cheeks that hadn't gone away yet, he silently returned to his rented room.

Gently placing the snake-haired banshee's head on the table, he found another random rag to cover the eyes that were filled with cursed power.

A hazy light came on from the second floor of the house, then dimmed, and a slowly moving figure reflected in the windows.

In the stillness of the night, the streets of Park Orchard resounded with the soft sound of boiling water.

After a few busy moments, the hazy figure returned to the second-floor bedroom.

Drawing the curtains and rummaging through the closet for another magic guidebook, Eleazar sat back in his chair and stretched.

Picking up the coffee in his hand, he took a shallow sip, took another piece of warm bread, and took a few bites, eating his food in slow Reese's stripes, his fingers slowly turning the pages of his book.

"Well, the last magic potion, the Earth Pathway..."

After all that time, he had finally gathered the six transcendent pathways of Poison, Flame, Frost, Curse, Mind, and Lightning in one place, and now all that was missing was <Earth >.

It is only because the Witcher has the top secret 'Titan Ceremony' and the seven systems that have been around for a long time that he dares to be promoted in this way; if it were any other transcendent, with so many irrelevant transcendent pathways blended, the rank would have been ruined long ago.

"Now it's down to the last one..."

Eleazar's magical guidebook that he was flipping through with a serious expression.

"Can the hair, eyes, or blood of a snake-haired banshee dispense a <Earth > pathway potion or not?"

[3rd level magic potion - Corruption: Pollute the earth with the power of darkness, unfolding a dark force field and drawing life force from the ground to strengthen itself.]

[Route: Earth, Curse, Darkness]

[Main Material: A handful of Snake-haired Banshee's hair, Shadow Stones...]

Finally finding a recipe for a magic potion that counted as half of an earth pathway from within, Eleazar sat up straight and gazed at the potion ingredients with gravity.

"Shadow Stone, Blood Demon Skeleton?"

Without even having to look at it, he certainly didn't have the materials for such dark pathways, and the materials for the last magic spell recipe were still enthusiastically provided by those two women.

Will just have to go back to Fina and borrow some more, hopefully this material won't interfere with her ceremony.

Eleazar pulls out the case and rummages through the transcendental materials.

"That dead witch, could you at least leave me some glitter..."

There's no way to stealthily attack at night. Waiting for daylight?

But he was pressed for time now, so he didn't have the heart to wait.

He looked at the time; 2:30 a.m....

"Well, it should be fine if you're careful..."

Eleazar, somewhat unsure, gathers his things and tumbles out the window.

Hiding from the night watchmen in the city who walked silently and blended in with the shadows, he arrived at the academy somewhat timidly.

Instead, no more Transcendents were patrolling inside, and he was slightly relieved before continuing to lurk over toward his destination.

Looking at the hostel worker sitting in the window, reading a book, he secretly held his breath until he waited until the moment the man blinked, and his figure stormed away, sweeping past like a fluttering evening breeze.

"哗啦啦啦～"

The books spread out on the table had a few pages swept up by the wind, and the lodger looked up suspiciously, but found nothing, so he had to pull the window back a little.

Walking silently to dormitory room 503, Eleazar pressed against the door of the room, secretly invading it with the power of Frost, and little by little unlocking the unlocked doorknob.

"Squeak~"

The somewhat rusty door shafts made an ear-splitting noise.

Lingyin, who was near the bed by the door, jerked awake and sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Who?"

The only sound in the darkened room was a slight snore in response to her as if the opening of the door she had just heard was a hallucination.

At first, she thought it was one of her roommates who had gone home for the night, then it occurred to her that no one was out at night tonight.

As a girl, one must be vigilant.

Thinking about her mom's admonition, she got up and turned on the room lights.

There was no one in the beds, no one absent, just the door was a little strange.

"Huh, I remembered to unlock it?"

Lingyin muttered suspiciously.

"Oh my god, Rei what are you doing?"

"Come on, you can get anything during the day, right now we all need to sleep!"

Two girls sleeping on the top bunk were awakened by the light and then let out a disgruntled complaint.

"Go to sleep! Go to sleep!"

Lingyin hurriedly re-locked the door behind him, then turned out the lights and burrowed back into his bunk.

It didn't take long for the room to succumb to another rhythmic snore.

Eleazar slowly peeks out from under Fina's covers.

A pair of small, warm hands kept pinching the soft flesh around his waist.

"It's a bit complicated, come out and say it."

Eleazar said nibbling on her ear.

Then tiptoeing out onto the balcony, he waited for a moment, and Fina, who had hastily pulled on a nightgown, came in as well, closing the balcony door in no uncertain terms.

"Nana, it's not good to sleep naked~"

"Say it again and I'll hit you!"

Eleazar had to stop the conversation and say what he meant.

"Nana, backup, I need Shadow Stones and Blood Demon Skeletons..."

Seeing that he was here to talk business, Fina also collected her petty emotions and closed her eyes to search for her space crystal.

After a while, two red lights blossomed from her chest.

Eleazar quickly takes it and puts it away, letting the eerie glow go out.

"How many potions?"

"One last copy, after the promotion, and preparations for the Titan ceremony can begin!"

Fina inclined her head silently, "If... It was me, would you fight this hard too?"

Eleazar was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, just broke her head back and imprinted his lips gently.

For a long time, the girl, who was about to suffocate, gasped a ragged snort and raised her hand to keep hammering him.

Lips parting slowly, Eleazar pressed the rolled, feeble head against his shoulder, patting the back gently.

"Nana, hard work..."

"When all this is over, let's live in peace, and when we get a degree that allows us to go abroad, I'll take you around the world."

"Mmmmmm~" a crunchy, soft murmur rumbled over his shoulder.

Feeling the hot air brushing against her ear, Eleazar turned her head to see eyes that glowed with a flirtatious light.

She bit her bottom lip lightly, her gaze radiant.

"Nana, you've learned from the witch..."

"..."

Slumped over the railing, Fina bites her arm dead center, her eyes somewhat lost in the darkness of the distance, whimpering as she keeps flinging her head full of green hair.

The moonlight soon hid shyly, and the infinite darkness engulfed them.

...

Returning the tossed and tormented body without an ounce of strength to the comforter, Eleazar leaned over and kissed it gently before slowly walking towards the balcony, glancing back somewhat reluctantly, his gaze gradually firming up before leaping outside.

"Fight for the future we are looking forward to and never back down!!!"

Taking the materials sponsored by his partner, Witcher, who had returned to his rented house, did not delay for a moment and quickly began to mix the magic potion.

The crucible is set up, ignited, and heated, and the material is put in an orderly fashion.
