Chapter 62 The Elixir



Aiden started watching Alex perform some manipulations with the different ingredients he had brought over here.

There were eyes of monsters, some weird liquids that resembled blood, there were obviously cores of monsters as it was the main component of the Elixir.

After a couple of minutes, Alex started to walk back from the cauldron he had used to craft the Elixir.

"I finished."

Aiden hearing him decided to approach the cauldron as he wanted to see what the Elixir would look like.

It was red and some sort of energy seemed to radiate off of it. As Aiden kept looking at the liquid inside the cauldron it seemed to change color into a light red, and finally into the color blue.

But it didn't stop there as it continued changing color continuously, it then became green, then orange, and back to red.

It was a cycle that kept going.

"Why does the color of the Elixir keep changing?" asked Aiden, intrigued by what would cause such a thing to happen.

"Honestly, I have no idea. I still need to make some tests on the Elixir as I don't know much about it, but one thing is sure. It is safe to drink," said Alex, as he wanted to reassure Aiden about the Elixir has absolutely no danger.

Then, Alex pulled out of his pocket a small flask to insert the Elixir inside of it which is exactly what he did.

After doing so, he simply gave it to Aiden as he didn't have much choice.

Aiden simply took it in his hands and started drinking it as he didn't know if he was going to be able to bring it back to Nova.

Aiden was surprised to see that nothing happened when he finished drinking, no beeping sounds could be heard.

A reaction seemed to happen deep inside his body but it wasn't even noticeable for Aiden.

The chains which had loosened up when he had awakened once again started to react as he continued drinking the Elixir.

However, Aiden once again had no idea about what was happening inside his body as he didn't know of the existence of those chains.

'Did this thing even do something for me?' thought Aiden as he didn't understand why he tried to get his hand on such a useless potion.

But then, as he waited for a couple of seconds, the usual beeping sound came to his mind.

*BEEP*

Then, a message appeared in front of him.

[You have awakened the hidden potential of your body.]

Reading this, Aiden was honestly confused as nothing else appeared apart from that small message and he couldn't get more details.

Alex had told him that he should feel the power flowing through him, but he didn't feel anything like that. If not for the message from the system, he wouldn't have noticed such a thing.

Even when he asked the system inside of his mind, nothing happened. The system seemed like he didn't want to answer, maybe this was something where he couldn't reveal anything.

After a couple of minutes, trying to gain information about this potential of his. Aiden eventually gave up as he returned to the task at hand which he could end by simply killing the emperor that was simply in front of him, doing simply nothing.

His legs were still hurt which forced him to simply watch Aiden do what he wanted without being able to do anything.

He obviously wanted to escape as despair appeared in his eyes once again as Aiden started to approach him again.

"Alex, help me I promise that nothing will happen to you," shouted the emperor as Aiden started to approach him once again.

Unfortunately, Alex didn't want to take any risk as he had no idea if he was even speaking the truth.

Because when someone is close to dying anything could come out of their mouth, emotions and desperation would instead take control over what they would do or say.

Aiden obviously had a lot of experience in that department as he often saw people begging and promising things to him when he was close to killing his prey.

Well... when they could see him.

Alex heard the emperor asking for help and simply scuffed as he knew he had no other choice but to watch him die. 

He turned and left Aiden in the room with the emperor, confirming the faith of the emperor.

He wouldn't risk his life for him as the emperor couldn't even give him what he wanted anymore.

He finally had access to all the ingredients he wanted to do tests and things of the same genre.

In fact, what could he even do?

He was simply weaker than Aiden and had no choice but to comply with what Aiden asked of him.

Aiden seeing the emperor in front of him powerless, simply prepared his dagger and he started walking toward him.

The emperor watching him do such a thing started to panic even more than earlier shouting even louder than earlier.

He started ramping on the floor away from Aiden, but it didn't matter one of them was walking and the other was on the ground ramping.

His shouts, also had no effect, as the room which was designed for him had been well built, sounds simply couldn't go through those walls.

His fate was doomed and he had to accept it.

As Aiden kept getting closer, the emperor started promising things to him this time and it obviously had absolutely no effect on Aiden who simply wanted to go home.

He had discovered many things in this place but it was time for him to see Maelis once again.

Who knew what had happened to Nova while Aiden was gone?

Aiden was actually quite pressed to go back, but he couldn't forget Mia who he had his first experience with women where he had experienced pleasure like never before.

But then, those thoughts vanished from his mind as he was now close enough to the emperor to decapitate him.

His strike was swift and precise just like all the others he had done on this trial.

Only a single noise could be heard in that room.

The head of the emperor falling on the ground.
