Chapter 2268: 2268. Test of Skill



"Midnight, keep the flames a little more steady. The heat is perfect if we don't increase them." Remey was carefully altering some potions she had made. They were not as pure as she wanted them to be and decided to try them with dragon fire to condense them."

The dragon breath flames from Midnight steadied as the potion became slightly clearer. It was not major to anyone else's eyes, but to Remey and Midnight, this potion had just become better because of this process. "Perfect." Remey quickly bottled it in a small vial before she started to cool it.

"That removed the water mana from the potion which was halting the earth mana absorption it needed. Now we can send this off to the earth dragon territory so they can see what it does for their hatchlings. It's a little rough, but I think it will help them awaken some of their natural earth related abilities better."

This potion was a dragon specific affinity potion.. An earth dragon affinity potion. Remey had managed to focus on it using two herbs that had been found to have earth affinities when an earth dragon was nearby it.

It wasn't some amazing discovery through experimentation. Instead, Terron had brought it from the territory where the dragons had been working. He had mentioned that he noticed these small herbs growing underground and wondered if it was him or the dwarves that caused the herbs to grow.

The three leaf clay herb was an herb that normally only grew two leaves per stem. It also only grew in clay. However, it grew a third leaf in the clay that the dragons passed by often while they worked to maintain and grow their territory. It took them a lot of work since it was such a new endeavor.

It was noted that these herbs smelled much better and appetizing now that the herbs had grown a third leaf. A very interesting aspect for the herbalists focusing on the changes in certain herbs depending on the race nearby them. They had taken this information and begun their own tests.

The second herb used to be added to the earth affinity potion was another small herb that would rarely be thought of as important. Dungeon grass was an herb that was considered a weed. Yet, it grew in the dungeons of castles, caves, and anywhere dark and damp. It was often thought to be a water and earth herb too, not anymore though.

The influence of a dragon's mana caused the water affinity to disappear and the color to become a deeper brown. This led to it being only an earth affinity herb which was actually considered a nice snack to the earth dragon hatchlings.

Their sudden interest in a grass of all things was what made the herbalists and dragons notice it. Hence why Remey was not working with it as a small experiment. She had taken that as a reason to make potions to help the earth dragon hatchlings. It was much better to help them grow when they were young and small and needed it the most.

"That's another potion done. What do you want to do now?" Remey had been working like this with Midnight for a short while, but she had promised Midnight that she would help her with something too since they had both been looking for one another for help. Remey had no idea what Midnight had wanted to do though.

"And you can make distance by forcing others away!?" Remey's excitement was matched by her sprint forward. She is unleashing a combination of punches to check if Midnight's new skills were going to be missing in any area of her body. This was what Midnight wanted Remey to fight with her.

Remey was going to test all the different risks of this skill. Mostly, if it was actually protecting all of Midnight. Especially her back where she couldn't easily cover without just using her tail. Which was exactly as Midnight went to do when Remey had tried to attack her back.

The whip of Midnight's tail threw the black flames at Remey and gave Remey more need to dodge or roll away. This prompted Remey to bring her flames even more. Along with the flame wings that flung out behind her as she jumped up to deliver a harsh downward attack using both flames and her body weight.

Yet, Midnight met it with her horns. They were reinforced with the flames and also with the skeletal armor. Both allowing her to slam her head forward with more force without damage and also to send the same black flames right in to the attack too.

Those witnessing this battle to test Midnight's new defensive skill were awestruck. They knew that Remey was powerful. Her flames aside, they had heard of the alchemical brawler who used special knuckles, and now gauntlets to gather manas that directly countered one's affinity. Beyond that, they had heard of her brutal physical attacks which could put down any of the strongest soldiers in a single punch.

But Midnight? They had heard of her unique skills and instinctual fighting style. Letting her instincts guide her to fight harder and with brutality. That was all putting aside her ability to use elemental mana based attacks.

They were all witnessing an educational, but more so, a fun battle of skills.
