Chapter 277: Illusory World (a) (1/2)
Lucy wanted to cook delicious food for Elliot and win his stomach, so she decided on becoming a Magic Chef. Now, there were many legacies related to this profession. Some were even in the uppermost branch. But considering her limits, she picked one on the middle branch.
Elliot walked up to the tree, picked the most significant golden leaf on the uppermost branch, and returned to their side. The leaf in his hand had a symbol of a mountain surrounded by clouds on it, and he knew that it contained the legacy of the most extraordinary alchemist. It was bound to be challenging, but with everything on his body, such as God's Qi, Spirit God's Qi, Super God Mode, Body of Prey, Legendary Skill Flipping Through Pages, Demonic-ranked Technique Energy Radiation, and so on, he had the complete confidence of overcoming whatever was going to comes his way.
”Sit down.” Said the queen, and following her words, the four people put their butts on the cushions. ”As you've all chosen your legacies, it's time to let you get a taste of it too.”
Those words had only left her mouth when all of them started feeling, including Elliot. Their consciousness began fleeting away, going somewhere far away.
A frown appeared on their faces as they tried to grab onto their consciousness.
”Do not resist this feeling and try to sink into it.” She added.
She didn't mean them harm. They all knew that, so they did what they said and let their consciousness leave their body. Instantly, their eyes lost their shines.
Elliot's vision turned blurry after he refused Noah's prompt to get rid of his dizziness. Soon after, he found himself next to a majestic Mountain. He was standing at its summit. In front of him was an uncountable number of stairs.
He realized that he was in a so-called illusory world. His body, the wind fluttering his hair, the clear blue skies, the trees behind him, the ground beneath him, the thousands of people wearing white robes around him, and the mountain in front of him, everything here felt extremely real.
Visible blue energy clouded the entire body of the colossal mountain. Elliot took a deep breath, and two wisps of clear blue entered his mouth, making his mind cloudy but leaving him oddly satisfied.
”Magic power? No, it's something better than that!”
He was right on the mark!
[Congratulations! You've come in contact with high-level energy.]
[I've detected that it is Mana!]
[Mana is the purified form of magic power. Because of impurities in the air, mana typically degrades into magic power. It's ten times better than magic power, meaning a hundred units of it equals a thousand units of magic power.]
”What a great source of energy. I should get more of it it.”
Elliot opened his mouth. The next thing that followed nearly shocked the heavens.
”What? Did the energy cover around Celestial Mountain just blur?”
