The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Mental Focus

Now that Thor had finished his enhancement, that left the two large vials on the cart, waiting for someone to remember about them in all the shock and confusion of a Lightning Cerro using [Circle of Protection].

Thor was basking in all the attention that he was getting from the clerics, who were making intensive notes on his abilities, completely forgetting that everyone was here for a reason that wasn't studying Thor.

"Right, now getting back on track. This particular concoction should be perfect for Commander Alice. It's designed specifically for wind element mages and should strengthen your abilities and future growth rate.

I know for Commanders that is usually the most important part, as the growth can be painfully slow." The ancient professor announced, looking much more healthy than when he had hobbled into the room.

Alice looked more than a little skeptical about drinking a potion that held more than the average coffee mug, especially since they were intended to be ingested in one go, and not sipped over an extended period of time.

But it was a Commander Rank potion, and designed specifically for wind mages, which she was. There was probably no better resource for her, and if they were going to part with it without arguments, she would be an idiot to turn it down.

So, she found herself swallowing the entire vial full of the herbal concoction, while energy built all around her and her power level steadily grew.

The beasts could feel it, the strengthening of the magical power that Alice could wield, and through them, Karl had a fairly accurate guess of her current growth state, but for the others in the room, it was just a lot of bleeding energy, and then they would have to test afterwards to know how well it worked.

"My maximum mana control rate is definitely better than it was before, and I can feel the wind magic more clearly." Alice did her best to explain the changes that had happened with the potion.

"We will run a suite of tests later when we have more time. I need to study the salve that you provided once I return to my labs, and then there are all the other results as well. But there is still one more vial here. What was that one again?" The old professor asked his assistants.

"That is an attunement potion, double dose for humans, so it can be split between the two clerics in the group." The assistant reminded him.

"Oh, that's right. High Priest, we made this one for your people. The ingredients are a bit rare and therefore difficult to obtain, but with the Church's resources, it shouldn't be a problem to obtain enough to provide this to all of your promising members."

The Professor passed over the ingredients list and a packet of details to the High Priests, who looked at some of the ingredients in concern. Sure, they had access to vast amounts of resources, but they also had a massive number of clergy.

Plus, this was a Commander Rank potion, and the side effects on a Common Grade or Awakened priest could be catastrophic. At best, they could administer it after reaching Ascended to see if the promising priests could make it to Commander Rank and become high priests.

The potion was split in half, and handed to both Tessa and Lotus, who gave it very different looks. Tessa was holding it away from herself to avoid the smell, while Lotus was intrigued and taking careful sniffs, trying to determine what was in it without looking at the ingredients list.

"Well, bottoms up." Tessa reluctantly agreed.

She tilted the smaller vial back and downed the potion in one long slug, followed by Lotus. Both Priestesses grimaced at the flavour, but their bodies were gathering energy into themselves, and giving off a sense of Divine Power.

It was a shame that Sergeant Rita missed out on this opportunity, but everyone else had made out very well today, and their advancements had given the beasts a chance to learn new skills in the future.

Rae was eagerly looking forward to deciphering how to make her Golems wear clothing, colour adaptive camo netting to be specific, so they could hide as well as Rae herself did. But even Thor was looking forward to combat so he could try to learn the cleric tricks now that he knew he could make a Circle of Protection. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

The High Priests were about to lead everyone back out, Karl could sense it in their demeanour, but the researchers weren't done.
