Chapter 101 Ambush

While Baron Leo and Baron Eldo were preparing to leave the city, Vincent finished explaining his method to try and cure the young lady.

Alfred was doubtful at first but this is much better than waiting for the Divine Doctor to cure Dennise after three months.

"My potions are really effective… They just take time to mature. I already have a healing potion here and I already modified them. I'm just waiting for the modification I made to take effect." Vincent explained.

Obviously, he wouldn't concoct a potion while on the carriage. He can only lie that he already made a potion and waiting for its maturity to create the best healing effect.

After all, he knows that it takes time to create a +9 potion as well. Although his success rate had increased tremendously after his Enhancement Ability became level 9, there are still chances of failure, especially during +8 and +9.

More than that, he's planning to prepare not only one +9 potion but as many as he can.

"Ehem… You can ask Tara and Rem, my two companions, they have tried my potions. Look, you can't see any scars or wounds on their bodies, it's all because of my potions." Vincent said as he had to dispel their doubtful thoughts.

"Then… We will trust, Sir Vincent. As soon as we confirmed that you managed to cure our young miss, then we will pay with this and you can even request if you have something in your mind." Alfred generously said as he looked at Vincent.

Luckily, they seem to really care about Dennise and are willing to entrust her cure to Vincent in the meantime.

Several hours had passed as the sky started turning dark. They were still quite far from the next town so they have no other choice but to camp along the road.

Apparently, there was previously a village where travelers are using to spend the night around here. Unfortunately, it was burned to the ground by a bandit group after being deemed unprofitable.

It seems that they were no longer able to collect money from that village leading them to burn the village.

This story was told by one of the mercenaries hired by the Primal Sword Sect to protect their goods.

"They're quite decent… Though they were not at the level of Magic Knights, they're definitely skillful." Vincent muttered as he could see how vigilant and organized these mercenaries were.

Especially the one leading them who has blond hair and a brawny frame. This mercenary doesn't seem to be any weaker than those from the Rose Knights that he had seen before.

The camp was easily set up after half an hour as they formed a circle around a large bonfire. More than that, the mercenaries had also arranged some magic tools that seems to be capable of warding off any Savage Beasts at night.

Once they have finished having their dinner, Vincent invited Dennise and Tara to their camp to try the potion.

During this time, he managed to enhance a couple of +9 potions, and a dozen of +7 potions after spending most of his mana.

Furthermore, Vincent already enhanced the Mana Upheaval Potion to +7 and it could now increase his mana capacity by 210 units! However, he was still not over for this and he plans to get it to +9 or even +10 if possible.

After all, this potion is extremely rare and it has never appeared even in the giant Guardians Auction House.

"Gulp!"

Dennise did not hesitate to drink the healing potion from Vincent. Anway, Alfred didn't find anything wrong with the potion as well aside from the gold glitter included in the liquid that he saw.

"Young miss… How do you feel?" Alfred asked as he carefully looked at Dennise with worried eyes.

However, even without her answer, he already noticed that the color on her face started to return! The previously pale skin that seemed like she drained her blood was no more! Redness appeared on her cheeks as the light in her eyes became vivid!

Although the marks of the mysterious disease on her body haven't disappeared yet, she was obviously in a better condition…

"I… I… I feel warm…"

Finally, after such a very long time, Alfred heard the voice of their young miss again. Even Mathias, who was just outside the camp, couldn't help but tear up a little.

"Do not force yourself… You're not fully healed yet. Tomorrow, you will take another potion." Vincent said as indeed, his +9 healing potion is just too incredible.

Bam!

As he was about to concentrate on recovering his mana, he suddenly heard a commotion aside.

"Bandits! We're under attack!"

Vincent recognized Elder Han's voice as he immediately glanced at Tara and Rem.

He then noticed that their faces also turned serious as if there was an incoming threat that they would have difficulty facing.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Soon, the sounds of battle started as the disciples of the sword sect together with the mercenaries fought against the bandits…

"I'll help outside… Protect your young miss." Vincent said as he took his weapon. He's not wearing his enhanced leather armors as he doesn't have enough time.

He can tell that the bandits this time were quite strong and they have already arrived outside their camp!

"Tara, Rem… Make sure that no other Celestial Beings will join this battle." Vincent immediately instructed as he can already tell that this attack wasn't simple.

The bandits were all Mana Arts Practitioners and were disciplined with their method of attack!

More than that, he can tell the two Celestial Beings' wariness in a certain direction.

"It's not a Celestial Being, there seems to be another Magic Beast… It was probably attracted by the White Tiger Cub…" Tara frowned as he explained.

However, Vincent was already engaged in battle as he found the bandits wearing high-quality clothes that seems to be magic tools even!

Vincent couldn't count how many bandits are there but everyone was fighting at least one of them! They are at disadvantage in number!

He then wielded his cane as he used his Shrouded Steps to get closer to one of the stronger bandits

Bam!

His cane hit the person's arm guard and did not damage indicating that it's a magic tool of decent quality.

Vincent frowned as he tried once more.

Surging Palm Strike!
