Chapter 385 - 242: Doctor Death, Abyssal Sea Era
...Alright, this statement itself is indeed quite imposing.
While Rogel was pondering.
The magic potion that everyone drank had already started to take effect.
This time, Lina’s reaction was quite calm, merely frowning and rubbing her wrist.
Mira and Noemi were almost the same; their potion compatibility was quite high.
The only one with a rather intense reaction was Yas.
From the moment he drank the Polar Cultivator’s Potion, his body began to undergo drastic changes.
First, his skin turned red, and his muscles swelled and twitched irregularly, then became hot, emitting steaming heat.
Until he seemed to reach a critical point...
"Huff..."
Yas exhaled a breath of scorching air, and the redness on his body began to gradually fade, returning to normal.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
After the heat passed, his body started to gradually turn ice-blue, and the sweat on his body began to freeze into crystals.
"This..."
Mira looked a bit startled, looking worriedly at Rogel: "Captain, will Yas be alright?"
"He’ll be fine."
Rogel replied.
If Yas wasn’t compatible with the Polar Cultivator’s Potion, the adverse reaction would be much more intense.
As expected.
Shortly after Rogel spoke, the temperature on Yas’s body began to normalize again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But then they noticed his body started to gradually change color again, with patches of blue, purple, and black appearing as if he were about to develop some kind of ailment.
Although he remained composed, the constantly twitching muscle lines on his body suggested it wasn’t easy.
Moreover, this didn’t seem to be the end.
Yas’s body continued to alternate between various abnormal states.
Rogel wasn’t in a hurry about it.
The Polar Cultivator formula is the most difficult in this magic potion concoction because it requires the most and rarest materials, as an alchemist, he naturally knew what that meant.
This means the fusion of the potion will become difficult, correspondingly, the abilities acquired after the user ascends will also be very strong.
"Is this the method for the ascension of an extraordinary? Does it only require consuming a magic potion?"
Sean, who had been quietly observing, spoke at this moment.
"To be precise, only the first two tiers require the consumption of a magic potion."
Rogel replied while observing the changes in everyone.
"The progression afterwards will become increasingly difficult, and the conditions will become more stringent."
"If you want to become stronger on this path, you need to put in a lot of effort."
Saying this, Rogel turned to look at him, a smile on his face.
"If you want an easier path, becoming a believer in a god might be a good choice."
Upon hearing his last sentence, Sean shook his head.
"I don’t think a so-called ’god’ would be any stronger than Seoluo."
Of course, the ’strength’ he referred to was not about power.
Hearing this, Rogel smiled and shifted his gaze back; he wasn’t surprised by this.
After a while.
Yas exhaled a long breath, and his muscles gradually relaxed.
He finally completed his ascension.
Rogel then opened the information of all the crew members to check.
[Yas (Partner)]
[Level: 31]
[Body: 62]
[Spirit: 20]
[Faith: 5]
[Tier: Apostle]
[Special Skills: Polar Cultivation (Apostle) lv1, War Body (Extraordinary) lv9, Fighting (Extraordinary) lv9, Steel Fist (Extraordinary) lv5...]
In terms of level and attributes, everyone was just entering the Apostle Tier, so the gap wasn’t big, only the attribute distribution differed.
Therefore, Rogel only glanced at their attributes and didn’t pay further attention, focusing instead on the apostle abilities they acquired.
[Polar Cultivation (Apostle) lv1: Your body strength is greatly enhanced, significantly increasing resistance to damage from various extraordinary abilities, with the ability to use "Instantaneous Movement" and impose many negative effects in attacks.]
[Mysticism·Peeping Secret provides you with some additional information.]
[A group of warriors passionate about close combat felt deeply powerless in fighting the extraordinary, questioning their path when faced with the extraordinary’s bizarre methods.]
[However, someone decisively found a different path. Through various extreme cultivations supplemented with extraordinary materials, they successfully transformed their bodies into the best shields to fend off attacks, while also possessing powerful countering forces, becoming extraordinary themselves.]
No wonder Yas’s ascension was so dramatic this time...
Rogel thought meaningfully.
It seems Yas’s path is somewhat special compared to other extraordinary paths.
Then he began checking the new abilities of the other three.
[Death Scalpel (Apostle) lv1: Your speed is greatly increased, your ability to find weaknesses is strengthened, and you can cultivate your own "surgical tools," which will demonstrate distinct abilities in battle.]
[Mysticism·Peeping Secret provides you with additional information.]
[They say those who save lives best understand how to take them, and Doctor Death agrees with this.]
[Once a doctor passionate about curing diseases and saving lives, he traveled far and wide, hoping to save those tormented by disease and injury with medicine.]
[But one day, he suddenly realized that if he killed a heinous criminal, those who might have been harmed by him would be "saved."]
[Thus, Doctor Death was born.]
[He prepared the best surgical tools for those who brought pain, to transform them...]
Mysticism·Peeping Secret was triggered again!
Rogel was a bit surprised.
This thing doesn’t trigger every time, not even when loading a save, he had tried.
Unexpectedly, this time it provided background for two consecutive sequence potions.
[Secret Stealer (Apostle) lv1: Your spirit has been greatly enhanced, and you can use numerous Secret Palace Techniques from the Abyssal Sea Era.]
"..."
Rogel glanced at it and frowned.
That’s it?
Damn, really?
Can’t you specify what specific [mystical] skills there are?
Is it because there are so many that they are just omitted?
Though Rogel was a bit speechless, he didn’t mind too much. He could ask Mira later, as the possessor, she would surely know better.
What truly frustrated Rogel was that this time it didn’t trigger [Peeping Secret]!
Mira’s skill had some very crucial keywords!
[Abyssal Sea Era] [Secret Study Palace]!
These two keywords seem to hide many secrets!
Why didn’t it trigger when it should?
Rogel sighed slightly in his heart.
Though not knowing the details, from these two keywords, the Secret Officer as an extraordinary profession should be inseparable from buried history.
"Record it down, maybe it will be useful later."
Rogel thought silently to himself.
Then, he proceeded to check the last person’s new ability.
Noemi.
[Hunting Memory (Apostle) lv1: Your body and insight are greatly improved, your ability to find weaknesses also enhanced, you have learned numerous Hunter’s Trap Skills and Fighting Skills, and can use "Chasing" and "Hunting Skull."]
[Mysticism·Peeping Secret provides you with additional information.]
[Hunter’s Potion, originates from a legendary hunter who had no name, thus later generations referred to him as "Chasing."]
[Chasing grew up in a tribe, skinny like kindling, and didn’t inherit any extraordinary bloodline of the tribe, thus many tribesmen considered him an outsider mongrel.]
[But Chasing proved himself during a coming-of-age hunt, where he was blinded in one eye by his prey, grievously injured, but savagely bit off the prey’s artery, earning victory.]
[However, Chasing wasn’t seeking recognition from the tribe, or anyone. After this successful hunt, he seemed to have obtained a true ’extraordinary bloodline.’]
[He ventured into mountains, entering extreme lands, pursuing the mightiest prey through hunt after hunt, in blood and battle.]
[No one knows his final prey, or if his last hunt was successful.]
[Yet the name Chasing was forever etched onto the historical bone tablets of the Hunting Tribe, and integrated into Hunter’s Potion by alchemists who heard of this story...]
After seeing the potion story obtained from this [Peeping Secret].
Rogel found it somewhat amusing.
It truly is a good story.
But honestly, compared to this, he’s more interested in the stories of the [Abyss Sea Era] and [Secret Study Palace].
Yet this skill seemed to be toying with him, of the four abilities he reviewed, the one he most wanted to learn about didn’t trigger Peeping Secret...
