Chapter 1898 1898. Stepping Toward Dragons



"I don't see why you are staying here. They are doing fine." Remey managed to find Ignus within the embassy along with the other royal dragons. She had seen Walker experimenting and Current leaving to check things out. That was also with Mordant, but she wasn't too concerned. She had rested a little and wanted to try more with alchemy and fighting.

"It is part of the duty I took on. These angels will not fight unless they wish to fight all the dragons within our court." Ignus was naturally proud, but he was clearly tempted to leave. It was just too tempting.

Between the fire dominator dragon's knowledge and the things that they had learned around the echidna, they could experiment a lot. Regardless of what it meant for the affinity potions, Ignus knew that levels of strength that neither of them fully grasped was possible.

" I want you to use your fire to do something. The alchemy flames I can use might not be strong enough to manage the way that the echidna used manas to make a potion without a cauldron." Remey pushed more. This time she gave Ignus a solid nudge to his arm.

It was only natural that this made Ignus finally turn his head. But instead of being angry and trying to push her back as Ignus might do with anyone else, he just looked at Re,ey for a moment. "Fine. I will see what I can manage. Ventus, you are fine here?"

The two watched Ventus nod with a slight smile. She clearly didn't care that Ignus was leaving since the dragon had not needed to intervene in any arguments of negotiations. The angels were on their best behavior as the realization that they had fallen very far behind the rest of the world hit them deeper and deeper.

The fact that the angels could not even manage to battle with themselves without being destroyed hurt them deeply. That meant that if they ever managed to journey across the ocean to where Genesis was, they would immediately be forced out. Therefore, they were lucky to be allies instead of enemies.

This was a chance to rebuild what it meant to be an angel. That, and they were able to see a thin rope connecting them to their ancient history. When the angels had been more united and held greater knowledge than they had now. It was a rebirth of sorts. Something that angels had deep faith in since rebirth was something they had many stories about for when they failed. But that was a tradition they could explore later. For now, they focused on the present.

The way that she manipulated her mana was so clean that it was able to pull away all the bad parts of an herb. She literally purified it with the smallest and purest control of fire and water. Then she removed the good parts of the herb to perfectly meld it in to a potion or a pill. I can't even imagine how it is done with so mana manas. It wasn't just fire mana. But she said If I understand fire better I could purify my potions more. Especially after she looked at the affinity potions."

Remey had been ranting since the two of them got out of the embassy and began walking toward where some equipment had been set up. It was natural that there would be some things that could be brought here and there for alchemy. But because of Remey's position as a leader in the Genesis forces, she was able to get more tools brought to a set up tent than others would be able to. It was a nice perk.

"Just look at the fire affinity potion that the natural alchemist made. It is better than a high fire affinity potion but it isn't a grand fire affinity potion. It has an entirely new category that I want to call pure fire affinity potion. One that has all the negative side effects that could possibly come with using it often left out."

This wasn't anything that would be able to be made by any alchemist that Remmey knew. She understood that impurities were a guarantee in alchemy. Every single potion made or medicine would have some. The lower the skills used to create it the more normal it would be to have some issues with the potion.

However, this potion had nearly every single impurity pulled out of purified. That left the best of the best left in the materials that had been used. The herbs had been taken and perfectly used regardless of what state they were in.

This alone was enough to make the skills and process used to make this potion valuable. To be able to see a dried herb the very same way as a freshly plucked herb was spectacular and mind blowing.

"There is no way that this potion was made using some dried herbs. You told me that it would make a worse potion. All the effort we went through to preserve a potion from fresh herbs..." Ignus was equally amazed. He could barely believe it. But when he felt the purer fire mana within the potion just waiting to assist him in gaining new understandings, he was lost for more words.

"You told me that the alchemy guild you created would be the top of all alchemy. When are you bringing that natural alchemist to your guild." Ignus wanted to see the way that the alchemist created potions. especially how she manipulated fire. He needed to compare the two methods. Specifically the way that he used his flames and the way that this natural alchemist could use fire.

"I offered her a spot, but you saw all the echidna but for a few disappear in to the mist. They are doing their own quests to help the world. But if she comes to Genesis, then I know that will mean everything is changing and we are accomplishing our goals. I am willing to bet that the echidna will be showing up in places where nature is returning to the proper flow." Remey knew this and focused on what Ignus was thinking too.

"Then we have to break that floating pile of ruins sooner. Why create more potions now? We should attack." The fiery attitude matched Remey's shared desire to strike down the corrupted city. But Remey easily held herself back.

"You really think that a little fire will hurt them? That's why I wanted you to help me. You have the dominator dragon knowledge that already helped me get a handle on the fire I use. Imagine if my alchemy flames could break down materials when I punch. I can possibly bring both sides of my skills together. Become a real alchemical brawler than a divided fighter."

Ignus opened his eyes wider. He had thought that Remey was somehow divided. But he liked the way that she was brutal and could fight head on. He really enjoyed seeing the fury of a dragon in her fists even though she was not a dragon at all. And her pursuit of fire knowledge to help alchemy was very similar to his desire to understand flames and use them better. It was a shared common ground that lived deep within them both.

"Then let your flames coat your fists. You have those knuckles to help you. But carve the runes and the flames right in to your bones." Ignus looked at Remey. He had pure flames in his eyes as he said this. But it was more like he was offering a pact. Something that wasn't necessarily spoken out loud. But that Remey understood.

"Then with my fists, I will bring real fire and real power to every fight. Forget using potions as explosive right now. I will make my body the explosions." Remey knew she was committing herself to something intense. An endeavor that might push her past being what a human should be. But she had to.

The corrupted city was floating to the ocean. She knew that it was moving somewhere for some reason. And that reason could not be good. Genesis had enemies in that corrupted floating city. What if it was headed to her home. The home where her siblings from the orphanage had finally managed to find homes for themselves?

Who would Remey be if she did not do everything she could to protect them still? Who would Remey be as a hero if she didn't think of the many people that she could protect with a single punch?

Remey was a hero title holder and was treading a path of alchemy never walked before. Whatever the trials were. Whatever the hardships may be. She knew that with Ignus, she could overcome them and rival even the dragons. She just had to take the first step.
