Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 684 - 588: Scraping the Ground Three Feet Deep and Secondary Elixir of Immortality_2
"Ribbit?"
What, with one blink...is the home almost gone?
Before the dazed big frog could grasp the situation.
Above its head, Olivia, standing on top of Leon, had already unveiled a shimmering silver [Electromagnetic Cannon 2.0]. While the power of the new version wasn't enhanced, the integration of an artificial "Aquamarine" energy system meant that energy was no longer an obstacle.
The barrel of the rotary cannon began rotating, automatically switching to enchanted aluminum bullets.
Boom—
A dazzling magenta trail shot out, with the Gemstone Armament perfectly offsetting the recoil of the electromagnetic cannon.
Like the Spear of Judgment thrown from afar by a god, the enchanted bullet traveling at seven times the speed of sound and the brilliant light almost simultaneously reached the "Frog God" ahead.
At the moment of high-speed impact, it disintegrated, becoming a shower of highly flammable and explosive aluminum powder, with the magenta plasma igniting it into a fierce explosion.
Boom!!!
Merely possessing the Tier 3 Peak physical strength, the so-called "Frog God" was once again reduced to ashes without much resistance, just like when faced with the previous Alchemy Bomb.
Carrying Olivia down from high above, flapping dragon wings to dispel the smoke and dust thereafter.
Amidst a halo of hazy golden light, a lavish Golden Crown, looking characteristically large but otherwise featureless with no gems or decorations, floated up and down in the air.
A platinum-colored key mark appeared at the center of the Cosmic Dragon's forehead, gently approaching as it landed on the ground.
Though the sense of crisis this time was not as intense as the last, Leon had no intention of touching this unknown object with his hands.
Before the "Frog God's" body reassembled.
He activated [King's Rook Castle] to directly swap the spherical space it occupied into the interior of a giant rock in the [Witchcraft Garden], while a smooth and rounded stone sphere fell to the ground before them.
The essence of this Magic-like Technique is the exchange of space.
Meanwhile, the relentless azure mist continued sweeping aggressively, as if intending to sweep all of "Frog Cry Forest" away.
Not until five minutes later, a sensation of fullness entered Leon's heart, finally prompting it to stop.
Roar!
With a thunderous dragon roar, a contented Leon carried Olivia and vanished into the sky.
Another ten minutes passed.
The Governor of Kunsai City, arriving here with a large band of Direct Lineage City Guard, beheld the "Divine Artifact" his family had "guarded" for centuries, along with over a third of the "Frog Cry Forest," completely vanished.
"Thief! Damn thief!"
Wailing in pain, he slowly collapsed to the ground.
....
Half a month flew by in haste. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
It was already early March, and even in the Northern New Continent, one could feel a distinct warmth.
In Thoms Town, the departure point of the Kingdom Fleet.
"What is this?"
Gel looked at a bottle of nearly colorless magic potion with a faint purple shimmer in the wooden briefcase, along with another twenty bottles of matching amber-colored elixirs, and asked Aiven who had come to see him off in confusion.
After returning from the Old Continent a while back, Aiven had holed up at home, continuing his climb up the technology tree.
He hadn't even attended a joint meeting that was essentially a mobilization event.
He was striving to gain the strength to ascend to Upper-Rank Wizard Level in the shortest possible time, to prepare thoroughly for the changes in Ilya. Fortunately, with the help of "Data Visualization," once things were done right the first time, they never needed repeating.
Both his learning and research progressed swiftly.
Among them, the first breakthrough was the successful concoction of the [Secondary Elixir of Immortality], a long-studied magic potion, with the assistance of Leon, a Master of Magic Potions.
The final product was a bloodline potion derived from the "Night Spirit," essentially no different from the original [Bloodline Transplant].
Moreover, its limited usage was even stricter than the "Immaculate Holy Blood," which could slightly extend lifespan, only effective on individuals below Official Transcendents. Essentially, it stripped the outward appearance effects from the "Night Spirit" bloodline, allowing one to gain the essence of the "Night Spirit" while maintaining human identity.
Options to choose whether to retain the "Night Spirit's" skin color, pointed ears, and heterochromatic eyes were available.
Paired with twenty Strong Nutrient serums mixed with "Essence Fruit," Aiven had given it another name: [Super Warrior Potion], granting not only long life and Witchcraft Resistance but also gradually enhancing one's strength to match the "Night Spirit," comparable to the weakest Official Knight.
However, as this transformation relied solely on the power of elixirs without the participation of auxiliary rituals, it would take longer for safety reasons.
For at least two months, one would turn into a disheveled mess, with skin, oils, and hairs constantly shedding and hard to clean.
Yet, who could resist such a temptation, trading a small "side effect" for a lifespan extending up to two hundred years?
Aiven smiled mysteriously:
"This is a special gift for Aunt, not for you or Elante. However, make sure to tell Aunt in advance to stay at home for two months after ingesting it, and preferably avoid the wind."
After verifying the effects on Midorra, his aunt would be the first beneficiary.
Only a few in this world mattered to Aiven.
Uncle Gel would take the magic potion back when he returned to the Kingdom Mainland after finishing his half-year duty post in the New Continent last autumn and serving as a merchant ship escort.
Without much hesitation, Gel carefully kept it aside, knowing anything Aiven presented seriously was a treasure.
"By the way, Uncle, Elante has been in the Royal Navy Academy for four years now, and he'll soon start his shipboard internship. Have you decided where to send him?"
"Haha, considering our current influence and that kid's Official Knight-level strength, keeping him in the First Fleet and letting him board a Level 3 or above main battleship should be doable."
Speaking of this, Gel was now full of confidence; even without opening backdoors, this was the minimum he deserved.
"Oh, so no concrete plans yet. I visited Principal Princeton during my trip back to the mainland a couple of days ago, and have already spoken to him.
Uncle, when you pass by Ugor Island on your way back, please deliver this letter to Major General Demong Brand stationed there, and meeting face-to-face would also show due respect."
"The captain of the Quasi-Legendary Battleship 'Brilliance'? Do you mean...?"
A hint of surprise was already showing on Gel's face.
"It's a pity the Kingdom's Legendary Battleship 'Steam Fortress' doesn't need any human crew, or it would have been the perfect starting point for a naval career."
Aiven rubbed his chin, sighing a bit.
"Cough...well, contentment is a virtue; a Quasi-Legendary Battleship is already plenty!"
Whether Gel was satisfied or not, it was apparent that Elante's bright prospects had already been thoroughly arranged even before his internship started...
