Chapter 342 342 Concern
Despite this concern, she swallowed the vitality elixir without hesitation, a testament to her trust in Nexus's abilities.
Nora, true to her bold nature, grinned and savored the elixir. "Not bad at all," she remarked, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Nexus, relieved and pleased, joined in her laughter. "I'm glad you like it. Let's see how it enhances your magic and vitality over time," he suggested, the two sharing a moment of shared accomplishment.
As they continued to enjoy the tranquility of the garden, Nexus, and Nora's laughter echoed, becoming a harmonious melody in the sanctuary of the Russell family's haven.
In the quiet expanse of the garden, Nexus's impatience grew as Nora initially felt no discernible effects from the elixir. "What do you feel? Any effect?" he prodded, his eagerness palpable. Nora, however, continued to shake her head, indicating a lack of change.
Nexus grappled with disappointment, a cascade of self-doubt washed over him. "Did I make an error with the ingredients?" he questioned, mentally retracing each step of the alchemical process. Despite his meticulous approach, doubt lingered. "I followed the system's instructions accordingly without any mistake or misstep," he reassured himself, determined to understand the cause of the elixir's apparent failure.
In those moments of introspection, Nexus's mind oscillated between anxiety and determination. He wondered if his expectations had been too high, or if there was an unforeseen variable at play. However, as he recalled the systematic precision of his actions in the lab, confidence gradually rekindled "There has to be something going on, or a reason for delay".
Just as Nexus wrestled with these internal deliberations, a subtle transformation unfolded. After five minutes, Nora's countenance shifted from confusion to revelation. A surge of vitality coursed through her, akin to a sudden infusion of energy. It was as if the elixir, after a brief delay, had unleashed its magical potential.
Despite 3 hours of her magical practice, she felt rejuvenated, as if only a few minutes had passed. Even the mana in her body showed signs of recovery, a revelation that left both Nora and Nexus astounded.
Nora's eyes widened with surprise, and Nexus, still processing the unexpected effectiveness of the elixir, couldn't help but marvel at the results. It was as if they had stumbled upon a magical shortcut, a cheat code enhancing endurance and mana retention.
Nexus, witnessing the change in Nora's demeanor, couldn't suppress his amazement. "I never expected it to work this well," he admitted, a sense of accomplishment and awe shaping his words. The garden, previously a backdrop of anticipation, now bore witness to the unexpected success of Nexus's alchemical venture.
Nora, too, was caught in the whirlwind of surprise and delight. Turning to Nexus with a playful smirk, she remarked, "Well, it looks like you've stumbled upon something extraordinary." Her eyes sparkled with newfound vigor as she processed the rejuvenating effects of the elixir.
The atmosphere in the garden shifted from the initial disappointment to a shared sense of wonder. Nexus, grinning from ear to ear, couldn't contain his excitement. "This could change everything," he mused, his thoughts racing with the possibilities that the elixir's effectiveness presented.
Nora, still reveling in the newfound vitality, playfully teased Nexus, "Who would've thought you'd become an alchemical prodigy?" Laughter echoed in the garden as the duo contemplated the unexpected turn of events.
Crystal was practicing in a yard close to her courter when she heard some servants speaking of seeing Nexus moving close to the garden, she immediately stopped her practice and moved to the garden. As Crystal approached the garden, her keen eyes observed Nexus and Nora sharing a moment of laughter and camaraderie. Her initial confusion gave way to curiosity, prompting her to wonder about the nature of their interaction. "What could they be doing together?" she pondered, aware that such affable exchanges between Nexus and Nora were uncommon.
Remaining in the background, Crystal hesitated to interrupt them, opting to observe from a distance. She remembered Nexus instructing her to wait outside the lab for safety reasons, a precaution that spoke to his concern for her well-being. When rumors reached her ears that Nexus had left the lab and was now in the garden, that's why she ventured to seek him out.
Suddenly, Crystal sensed a surge of mana from Nora, a phenomenon that piqued her curiosity. What had transpired in her absence? She couldn't help but approach the duo with a genuine interest in the source of Nora's newfound vitality. "What did you consume?" she inquired as she approached Nora, her sharp eyes detecting the subtle change in Nora's aura. Nora, still basking in the revitalizing effects of the elixir, exchanged a glance with Nexus before revealing the source of her newfound vigor—the vitality elixir Nexus had crafted.
lightsnοvεl Nexus was delighted to see Crystal, he knew the reason for her uncommon action and shook his head while smiling "She is really the Crystal I know, she can never change" he smiled, and then he gestured for her to join them. Without hesitation, he handed her a vitality elixir, the fruits of his recent alchemical endeavor "Here, this is the result of my alchemy research". Crystal, embodying unwavering trust in Nexus, accepted the elixir willingly and consumed it without second thought. She had always been ready to go to great lengths for him, a loyalty that surpassed conventional bounds.
Consuming the elixir, Crystal anticipated the surge of vitality promised by Nexus. However, the effects were not as pronounced as they were for Nora. A fleeting hint of disappointment crossed Crystal's expression, quickly masked by her composed demeanor. Internally, she marveled at Nexus' semen, acknowledging that being in his presence was the most potent elixir she could ever experience.
The trio stood in the garden, a tableau of shared experiences and unspoken connections. Nexus, inadvertently playing the role of an alchemical maestro, had woven another thread into the intricate tapestry of loyalty and trust that bound Crystal, Nora, and himself within the walls of the Russell family's castle.
"This is a great success, I just have to practice more and I will be able to mass produce my masterpiece", Nexus expressed his satisfaction with the elixir's results. Nora, appreciative of Nexus' craftsmanship, playfully teased him about his earlier concerns "I thought you were too confident in your product" she smiled.nove)lb.1n
"No, No, I was just wondering why it would take so long to have effect" Nexus defended himself.
"Nothing can compare to your semen in term of vitality and effectiveness" Crystal thought internally but couldn't voice anything out, she just stare at the duo as their words resonated in the tranquil garden, forming a symphony of shared moments and enduring bonds.
Crystal's disappointment lingered as she grappled with the elixir's seemingly lackluster impact on her. Yet, in a surprising turn, a mischievous thought crossed her mind, and a sly gleam entered her eyes. Silently, she cast an enigmatic, somewhat suggestive look at Nexus, leaving him perplexed about her true intentions.
Seizing the moment, Crystal approached Nexus with an unusual request. "Can I have all the remaining vitality elixirs?" she asked, her voice carrying a subtle air of intrigue.
Nexus, intrigued and slightly puzzled by Crystal's cryptic expression, raised an eyebrow.
