C. All your attacks will contain the darkness element. You will inflict an additional 10% of dark damage.

Sheyan noted the explanation stated that as long as one participated in the battle against a Nazg没l, it would count towards the completion of the milestone. It means that he can complete the milestone with the power of storyline characters. The difficulty may not be as high as he initially imagined.

Next, he examined the [Armour Fragment of Dwar the Nazg没l]. The description given by realm was:

[This is the proof of your participation in the destruction of a Nazg没l.]

It should have the same use as the [Elven Illusion Bone Crystal] that they got after killing Elrond.

Melody had finished her training by then. She walked over and gently inquired.

”How are you feeling?”

Sheyan forced out a smile and answered.

”I'm alright. The Black Breath won't kill me, but my power is inevitably weakened.”

Melody then brought over a kettle that was put to boil on the fire. She poured the boiling content into a bowl and offered it to Sheyan. It appeared to be some sort of strange looking medicine that was blackish-green in colour and was very viscous. It kept bubbling even after it left the kettle. Every time a bubble burst, a weird noise which sounded like clapping could be heard.

”Drink this.”

Sheyan was dumbstruck. To be honest, he did not want to drink that stuff at all. However, facing Melody's clear, round eyes, he didn't have the heart to refuse. He could only brace himself and gulped down the whole bowl in one go. The medicine actually didn't taste as bad as he thought it would. A warmth spread from his throat all the way to his stomach, then permeated into his limbs, comforting his pain.

Sheyan's reduction in stats dropped to only 10% after consuming the medicine. Melody sighed regretfully.

”Looks like need the Athelas herb to completely remove the negative effects of the Black Breath. Fortunately, the Shire isn't far from here. Hopefully we can procure some Athelas there.”

”To get to the Shire, we will need the help of Goots,” said Sheyan with a cough.

Melody nodded.

”Goots has lost everything in this trip. We must find a way to compensate him. We can ask the Gimli tribe to provide him with a several loads of goods at base cost.”

She turned her gaze towards the kettle used to brew the medicine. It was something that was exchanged from the realm, so the handicraft was more advanced compared to this world. Melody asked.

”I've never seen such an exquisite kettle before. Is this a product from your world?”

Sheyan hugged her with a smile and told her.

”That's right. From where I come from, anyone has the luxury to use a kettle like this.”

Melody's clear eyes glimmered with anticipation.

”Such mysterious craftsmanship. I'm really looking forward to seeing your world.”

Sheyan kept smiling and said.

”Don't worry, that day will come soon. However, I must warn you that we have a very different way of life compared to the Elves. When you get there things might be fresh and exciting at first, but after a while you may find the leisurely lifestyle of the Elves much more preferable.”

At that moment, Goots woke up with a groan. After gulping down some water, he asked.

”Am I still alive? Where's the Nazg没l?”

”We chased him away,” explained Sheyan simply. ”Mr. Goots, I must apologise for the death of your people...”

Goots closed his eyes and sighed regretfully.

”I can understand the predicament you were in. In fact, I must thank you for saving my life. It was the evil Nazg没l who caused their death, god bless their souls. This is still a dangerous place so I suggest we depart at once. Before the sun sets this afternoon, we should be able to taste the Hobbits' famous smoked intestines with garlic.”
