Chapter 219 Changes

"W-what going on?" Dianne muttered after noticing that the metallic liquid before seems to be glittering with golden light.

"Miss Dianne, is there something wrong?" Trisha asked after noticing Dianne's expression. It was as if she was terrified of something.

Dianne looked at her and immediately asked in exasperation.

"Did you not notice? The potion he's holding is different from what Master gave him."

Trisha was jolted by the sudden reminder as she took another glance at the potion.

Indeed, the potion's appearance had changed. Vincent had modified a Mid-Grade potion refined by a Tier 5 Alchemist!

Doing this might spoil the potion! Furthermore, modifications of completed products especially potions, are not advisable even for Tier 5 Alchemists…

Even their Master Faviona has never done it with potions. For her, it's easier to concoct a higher-grade potion than to modify a lower-grade potion.

If Vincent has made a half-baked modification here, then his life might be in danger! He might not even have another chance of regaining his eyesight ever!

"Hey! Is that the Moonbreaker Potion? What did you mix in there?" Dianne asked interrupting Vincent's concentration. If Vincent became a permanent invalid because of the potion, her master's skills might be questioned.

"Don't mind it… Anyway, I'm just waiting for those clouds to get away… It might block the moonlight while I'm consuming the potion after all." Vincent said as he looked up into the sky. It was as if he can see the sky himself.

In truth, he was just warned by Tara and he was checking the new status of the Moonbreaker Potion. He's been planning to ascend it once more but it seems that he already reached the limit.

[ A Bottle of Moonbreaker Potion ]

[ Grade: Peak

Number of Enhancements: 10/10

Description: A magical liquid made from the Essence of Moon Drake's bone marrow, Silver Stag's brain, and Moon Dragon Flower. It is capable of removing any peak-grade seal or weakening a saint-grade seal that has been applied to the body.

Body Seal Resistance will permanently increase after consumption.

This potion is ineffective against any form of Seal targeted at non-living things.

The potion's effect had a high chance of increasing up to 30% if consumed while basking in the moonlight.

Unknown Potion Effect has been added after reaching the Peak Grade.

Remarks: This item can not be enhanced. ]

The previous Middle-Grade Potion has surpassed the High-Grade status and was now a Peak-Grade Potion.

Aside from increasing the effectiveness of the potion, there is also an unknown effect added.

Vincent wasn't sure whether this is good or bad. However, what's important is the increase in its effectiveness.

He has prepared various kinds of potions as well in case something unexpected happened to his body. At the very least, he could guarantee his life even if he consumes a poisonous potion.

"Don't mind it? Tsk… Master Faviona made that potion for five days because the Moon Dragon Flower can be harmful to your body if not perfectly refined. If you modified the potion just like that, you might---Ughh… Whatever… Just do what you want."

In the end, Dianne decided to just give up and let Vincent do as he pleases.

Anyway, he modified the potion given by her master so any unexpected incident that could happen to him should not be blamed on her.

After reaching this thought she finally relaxed and waited patiently.

Vincent wasn't surprised by her sudden reaction. Since she's an Alchemist, she clearly knows the danger of modifying a completed potion.

Even Faviona would probably have the same reaction. She might even feel offended that he has to modify her potion.

However, he has to do this… His Ascension Skill had even increased its level after he managed to raise the grade of the potion to Peak Grade.

'You can start now.'

Tara's voice sounded next to his ears.

p With this signal, he did not hesitate to remove his robe and show his bare body. Since he needed the moonlight, he decided to just leave his underwear. Perhaps, if the people surrounding him weren't mostly females, he wouldn't mind getting completely naked.

After doing this, he uncapped the vial and directly consumed the potion.

Dianne watched the entirety of his actions as her eyes were glued to his body.

"Tsk…"

Trisha heard her and noticed her foul mood.

'It seems that she's still dissatisfied by Vincent's modification… It's indeed quite rude to modify a Tier 5 Alchemist's creation when you're just a nobody… I hope this guy fails terribly.' As a loyal servant, she felt that she should also hate Vincent's guts.

Whom~

The two of them saw Vincent's body glow. It was like Vincent was the source of the moonlight for a brief moment before weakening…

However, as the glow started dissipating, a golden light followed as if it wanted to strengthen the potion's effect!

"Hmmm… What's going on? Isn't the gathering of mana a bit too much… This mana fluctuation is dangerous." Yulia muttered while observing Vincent's condition.

She's together with Severin and Vel. They were watching from a distance and felt worried.

"Vel, do you think that the formation could hold on?"

"Ugh… I can't say… If the internal disturbance is too strong, the Traceless Formation might collapse… At the very least, the other defensive formation should be able to last longer." Vel answered after considering the mana fluctuations that are happening right now.

They were unsure what kind of changes is happening in Vincent's body right now but they have to ensure that no one or nothing interrupts this 'ritual'. Vincent can't be disturbed at all costs…

Yulia unconsciously looked at the dark side of the estate… It was close to the wall of the Stellar Residence. There, she can see Rem calmly observing the surroundings…

As for Tara, she was actually the closest one. She's seated in the garden's pavilion and observing Dianne's every movement. It was as if she was wary of her.

'I guess we can only wait for the result, huh…' Yulia thought as she clasps her hand together to utter a silent prayer…
