Chapter 247 Epic Grade Potion



In the Cave...

Taking advantage of the brief reprieve, the group formed a circle for the meeting. Their thoughts were solely on the challenging mission at hand: eliminating the last three cursed magi.

Two were formidable threats (Grade III), while the other was the most dangerous of the bunch (Grade IV).

"I and Soren will take care of Grade IV, while the rest of you will handle the remaining two," Zareena said.

"Then the problem is how to separate them," Edumont said while rubbing his chin.

"I can fight all of them together," Soren commented.

All ignored him and engaged in intense discussion.

They discussed various tactics in an effort to find a way to split up the trio of cursed magi and ultimately defeat them.

"Why don't we use that guy?" Aizel inquired as he looked toward Jeffrey, who was currently sleeping.

"We can't trust that guy," Raven replied.

"Don't you have anything in your ring that can be of use?" Aizel asked Zareena.

"Hmm..." Zareen summoned a potion from her ring.

As all eyes fell upon the potion,

A gentle, ethereal blue light emanated from the mixture in front of them, and tiny sparks danced on its surface as if they had a mind of their own.

Each flicker of light held a mesmerizing quality, casting a captivating radiance within the liquid.

"This is an Epic-Grade potion that can only be made by the War Goddess and Professor Edith.

"It's called Mind Enthrallment Potion."

"So how does it work?" Aizel asked with interest.

"For that, you have to infuse some of your magic core energy with the potion.

"Then on whoever you want to use, you made that person drink the potion. For the next seven days, that person will become your puppet.

"The person will obey your every command and won't be able to betray you.

"But the effects wear off after 7 days, and you also have to stay close to the person for the next seven days so your magic core energy resonates with your target," Zareena explained.

"So, one of us has to stay beside this asshole for the next seven days if we want to use him," Raven commented.

"Yes,"

"I think Aizel will be the best suited for this," Edumont suggested.

"How so?"

"No one knows who he is, so it's better for him to go as an underling of that guy."

"You are right, Edumont. One of us might get recognized." Zareena replied and nodded in agreement.

"Are you ready to do it?" She asked.

"Well, if we can get rid of them sooner in this way, I will do it," Aizel replied.

"Wake him up then."

Jeffrey's eyes fluttered open, his senses gradually awakening from their slumber.

Someone's hand lightly brushed against his cheek, waking him up. He looked up to see Aizel standing there with a wicked grin on his face.

"Wake up, my princess; we have work to do."

"NO NO NO... whatever you have planned, I don't want this guy near me."

"Shut up you asshole. I am giving you a last chance; take it or die," Zareena said.

*tsk*

"Listen, you will take him as your underling when you meet your group. Then you have to make them separate from each other.

"For further details, he will explain them to you. If you are able to do this task properly, then I will think about pardoning your crimes."

"Thank you, princess. I will not disappoint you." Jeffrey quickly kneeled down and said,

"So, you said they would return after 7 days. Where are they returning?" Aizel asked.

"Zontor City, which is closeby to Lucednia Town. Our headquarters are there," Jeffrey replied.

"Okay, then let's leave early for there. We will plan ahead on how to get rid of them quickly." Aizel replied.

"First drink this,"

Aizel grabbed Jeffrey by the shoulders and put the vial of epic-grade potion against his lips.

When Jeffrey realized he couldn't break free of Aizel's firm grasp, he gave up trying to fight. He swallowed the potion, feeling its mysterious essence pour down his throat, with a mixture of shock and desperation.

"Slap yourself,"

Jeffrey slapped himself on the right cheek.

"Hehe nice,"

"Scratch your balls,"

Jeffrey started to scratch his balls in front of everyone.

"What are you even doing? Are you having fun getting yourself a pet?" Zareena asked.

[Master will have more fun when he makes you his pet, fufu]

"We are leaving."

Aizel exchanged a solemn farewell with Daisy, his gaze filled with unspoken understanding.

Then he and Jeffrey set out on their adventure to Zontor City, away from all that was familiar and into the unknown.

"So how should we head to the city?" Aizel asked.

"We should head first towards the seaport harbor, and from there we can rent a carriage or horses," Jeffrey replied.

"Let's do that then."

As their feet gracefully touched the ground, Aizel and Jeffrey tapped into the wellspring of mana, their bodies infused with newfound energy.

As they progressed, their movements got nimbler, and their awareness of their surroundings heightened.

Determined to reach their destination swiftly, they set their sights on the bustling seaport town.

After running for almost 5–6 hours, they both finally arrived at the seaport town.

Aizel and Jeffrey made their way to the stables. They had a short conversation with the stable master and were soon on their way with two hardy steeds.

Aizel and Jeffrey mounted their horses and set forth on the dusty path that led to Zontor town. The clopping of the horse's feet against the ground kicked up a cloud of dust.

As they rode, time seemed to stretch before them. They were prepared for a long day's journey.

The vast landscapes unfurled around them, revealing the untamed beauty of the kingdom they traversed.

"Oye, tell me more about the three goons. What magic core do they have or any unique power?" Aizel asked.

"Neither of them has any unique power. The Grade IV mage can use Earth and Nature.

"One of the Grade III can use water and is still learning and perfecting Ice.

"While the last one can use darkness," Jeffrey replied.

Darkness just like Raven" Aizel pondered.
