Chapter 589 - Water of Miracles (2/2)
Milose was affected by Eliard’s eyes. He wanted to refute him but couldn’t find anything and gave up in the end. He still wasn’t entirely convinced, but the idea of sharing wisdom was carved into his soul.
At that time, Link stopped.
He’d used up all the refined magic equipment at that time too. A fist-sized ball was now in his hands. It was brown and completely dull. No magic aura seeped out of it. If he tossed it on the ground, it would be like any small rock.
“That’s it?” Eliard glanced at the “rock.” He knew that it was filled with boundless wisdom, so his eyes were reverent.
“Getting close.”
There was some fatigue in his eyes, and his hand twitched. The white foggy sol flew out of the bottle and spread equally in the air. At the same time, the brown “rock” in Link’s hand broke into a mist with a soft sound. The mist and sol mixed together under the invisible force of magic.
After around half an hour, the brown mist was gone. The originally white sol was now dark red. It looked a bit like blood.
The liquid formed a circle. Though it contained the brown mist, its size hadn’t changed. It was only around two centimeters in diameter. Hovering in the air, it floated towards Nana.
“Open your mouth and swallow it. It will fix your body’s last flaw, Link said.
Nana did so without hesitation. The round liquid entered her mouth and automatically “rolled” down her throat. Around three seconds later, Nana’s body shook. She gripped the enchantment table, and the sturdy table cracked, turning to powder.
But the next moment, Nana stood up with a confused expression. She clenched her fist and then touched her face. Her expression grew more confused. “Master, Nana doesn’t feel any change.”
Link smiled. “That’s right. Life is the most complicated structure in the world, so all changes happen gradually. Wait patiently, and you’ll feel the power of the Water of Miracles.”
“Oh.” Nana was still confused, but she accepted Link’s explanation.
Eliard found it strange too. He’d thought that a potion of this level should cause some things like a giant flash or Nana’s power multiplying. But the ending was so anticlimactic. He just felt like something was missing.
“It seems too simple,” Eliard said.
Link chuckled. “Don’t just look at Nana now. You have to see what’s growing inside her now. Just wait and see.”
“Alright, so what do we do now?” Eliard asked.
Link asked Nana, “Your injuries should be all good now, right?”
Nana moved her hands and feet and then felt her body. Immediately, she said confusedly, “It’s weird. Why don’t I feel anything?”
Earlier, her injury seemed okay on the surface but would subtly affect her movements. Now, it was as if she wasn’t injured at all. She even forgot how it had been.
Eliard laughed and clapped. “Amazing. This must be the first effect of the miraculous potion. It reminds me of a seed sprouting in the spring. It’s soundless but keeps changing. One day, it will grow into a big tree.”
Link also smiled. “Since it’s okay now, we can continue northward… Oh, I almost forgot. Let me see your sword. Perhaps I can strengthen it.”
So Nana gave Link the sword and sheath.
Link slowly pulled the sword out. As soon as he did so, he felt a blazing aura radiate from it. At the same time, his heart turned cold as if someone stabbed him.
“Ah!” A cry came from Milose. He was staring at the sword in Link’s hand. When it was pulled out, he stumbled back and activated a defensive barrier subconsciously.
Eliard flinched as well. Big droplets of sweat beaded on his forehead. Wiping his sweat, he exclaimed, “Is that the Last Nightmare? What a great sword!”
Clang! Link sheathed the sword again and returned it to Nana. “This sword changed a lot. What happened to it?”
“Nothing? Nana has always been using it. Unfortunately, Whispers of the Forest broke in a battle.” Nana found it strange. She took the sword and pulled it out casually. Weirdly enough, the sword was very different when she did that. There was no glow at all, and its surface was covered in marks. There were even many nicks on the blade. It was extremely old and ragged.
At this time, the sword spirit of Ode of a Full Moon spoke in Link’s mind.
This sword has killed at least 1000 Legendary figures. A bit of every victim’s soul wraps around the sword. Those souls are filled with hatred and anger. The only one who can control them is Nana. Thus, only Nana can use this sword.
One thousand? No wonder, this is a weapon of mass destruction! Link sighed inwardly.
He walked over with magic materials in his hands. “Nana, hold it, and I’ll fix it up.”
“Yes, Master.”
It was just a quick fix up, and Link finished within an hour. He also added some very resilient hardening seal to upgrade the sword. It was now at Level-11 and counted as a Legendary weapon too.
“Okay, that’s done. We can go north now.”
