Chapter 443 Crimson Mana Berries

Chapter 443 Crimson Mana Berries

It did not take too long for The two green ogres to die by Ace's hands.

It was a pity he was still stronger than them.in the end though but Ace would have loved for the fight to have kept going.

If anything, he would have even liked it if they had been able to draw even if it was just a little blood from him.

"I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to meet a stronger one?" Ace thought aloud after using his powers to bury the ogres in the earth.

After doing so, he hopped back on Blue and took to the sky.

However a few minutes later, Ace saw something on the ground that made his pupil narrow.

On the ground was a tall plant with red berries.

It wasn't rare to see plants in the true world but Ace did not expect to actually see the one he currently has his sight on.

The plant which was red in colour and resembled a corn crop was called a Crimson mana plant.

Ace knew this from the alchemy knowledge in his head.

The berries that came from the plant were Crimson mana berries and they only had one function- they served as materials in creating a rank 1 mana cultivation pill.

The sight of the plant reminded Ace of the cultivation technique that came with the knowledge he gained when he evolved.

At that time he did not rush into cultivation because he could sense how important it was. This was also the reason he put everything related to cultivation at the back of his head.

What Ace hadn't expected was to see the Crimson mana berries.

Something he had been worried about just yesterday in how he was going to see herbs just answered itself.

"I guess it makes sense that the true world should have magical herbs but what this means is that I have to look for them and harvest them myself. Maybe even cultivate them myself. This is so much work compared to when I could just buy materials off the store. Now I see why it said we were in a tutorial."

Although Ace had neglected matters relating to cultivation, it did not mean that he was going to pass out on obtaining the Crimson mana berries in front of him.

Whether he was going to concoct the mana cultivation pill or not was an issue for his future self to bother about.

However there was something stopping Ace from going down to take the Crimson mana berries.

Curled around the filled the Crimson mana plants grew was a rank 2 monster.

It was yet another serpent monster.

It had long noticed Ace did not attack and just released its aura in an attempt to scare Ace off.

It couldn't attack Ace because it lacked magical powers and was one of the monsters that relied on brute force and strong defence to fight.

Well, it at least had venom.

Ace was not hesitating to head down and take the Crimson berries because of the monster but because he was thinking of how he'd take the berries without them getting destroyed should the monster which was likely going to happen attack him.

The Crimson mana plants in the field they were growing were a lot. Ace reasoned that the Crimson mana plants might have been the reason the serpent even evolved to rank 2 so it should be reluctant to give them out.

In the end an idea formed up in Ace head.

The serpent shouldn't be hard for him to kill. The aura it was releasing was not enough to threaten Ace and only announced how weak it was as a threat to Ace.

"Let's take it away from the field and quickly kill it and get out."

Spreading his hands out in the direction of the rank 2 serpent, Ace activated the full power of his origin ability for the first time since waking up.

With his hands emitting a golden radiance, Ace solidified the air around the serpent to carry it up from the ground.

The serpent was very huge. Ace even felt its 'weight'.

Before the serpent could react to Ace move and resist, Ave released a loud roar and flinged the serpent huge body into the forest.

"So heavy."

After saying this, Ace then used his origin ability to make the air solid around him to give him the ability to fly as he flew away from Blue's back.

"Watch over those plants. I'll be right back." And with that Ace sped to the location he threw the serpent to quickly finish it off so he could come back and carefully harvest the Crimson mana berries without disturbance.

The serpent, with eyes as cold and calculating as a glacier, reared up, its massive form coiled and ready to strike. Ace's muscles tensed as he locked eyes with the beast.

With blinding speed, the serpent lunged at him, fangs bared and venom dripping. Ace's instincts kicked in, and he sidestepped the attack with a graceful pirouette. He felt the serpent's hot breath on his skin as he narrowly avoided the deadly strike.

Recovering his stance, Ace clenched his fists and charged at the serpent. With a mighty leap, he soared through the air, his powerful legs propelling him toward the beast's head. He landed on the serpent's massive body, his fingers digging into the scales for a grip.

The serpent thrashed, attempting to dislodge its agile opponent. Ace held on, his veins pulsing with adrenaline. With one hand gripping a scale and the other coiled like a spring, he launched himself at the serpent's head.

His powerful punch connected with the serpent's eye, eliciting a deafening roar of pain. Ace's knuckles stung.

"It's quite hard."

Ace clambered up the serpent's head, ignoring the venomous drool that threatened to burn his skin. He reached the apex and, with all his might, delivered a barrage of blows to the serpent's skull. With each punch, he felt the serpent's strength wane.

Weakened and disoriented, the serpent's movements became sluggish. Ace leaped from the serpent's head, landed gracefully on the forest floor, and with one surge of energy, he delivered a bone-crushing uppercut to the serpent's jaw.

The massive serpent, now defeated and wounded, let out a final, pitiful hiss before collapsing to the forest floor.n((o)(V-.e-(l//b--1.-n

Covered in venom, Ace had emerged victorious.

"Now I need to change my clothes. Should Have Used magic..."

As the colossal Fire Eagle descended upon the forest, Ace immediately called upon his transmutation ability, invoking the power of ice to combat the fiery menace. With swift movements, he extended his hands, generating streams of ice and snow that swirled around him.

The Fire Eagle let out an ear-piercing screech as it recognized the sudden intrusion of frost into its fiery domain. It attempted to dive and strike Ace with its searing talons, but the icy tempest that surrounded him served as a formidable shield.

Ace's body became an ice-clad warrior, his movements swift and precise. He unleashed waves of frost that clashed with the blazing feathers of the Fire Eagle. Steam and smoke billowed as the elements clashed, creating an otherworldly spectacle in the heart of the enchanted forest.

The Fire Eagle's once-fiery wings began to sputter and extinguish as the cold magic overwhelmed it. It struggled in the frigid storm that Ace had conjured, desperately attempting to regain control. But it was too late. The eagle's strength waned, and its screeches of fury transformed into agonised cries.

Ace could feel the temperature plummeting around him as he channelled his transmutation powers to their fullest extent. The Fire Eagle's feathers turned to frost, and its once-burning talons were encased in solid ice. It was a battle of opposing elements, and Ace was determined to extinguish the fiery threat.

With one final surge of his powers, Ace encased the entire Fire Eagle in a massive block of ice, leaving only its piercing eyes visible, filled with a mixture of anger and resignation. The once-mighty creature was now frozen in time, a monument to the clash of fire and ice.

As the forest returned to its serene state, Ace caught his breath.
