After a two-week separation, Klea returned with her own share of accomplishnts. "It may not be as impressive as the master of apothecary... but look at this," she exclaid, proudly displaying a bronze badge adorned with the insignia of the Formation Institute, indicating that she had achieved the rank 5, junior artisan among formation experts.
Klea demonstrated a new skill, taking out a small piece of paper and deftly engraving symbols with her [Lotus pen]. To Ery amazent, the paper transford into a miniature paper man, capable of speech and carrying out her commands. Ery couldn't help but feel proud of Klea's remarkable talents.
With a warm smile, she remarked, "Well, after all, my man is a genius master; I really need to keep up." Klea went on to explain that she had received several offers from Formation Masters to serve as their assistant. In the quest to further enhance her skills, she planned to dedicate at least a few weeks to this endeavor.
Ery considered that Klea's plan to learn from another master would be beneficial for her growth, and he was fully supportive of her decision.
"I will mostly spend a few weeks in this city anyway, and also don't worry about Earth," With VIA on standby, overseeing the new base, Ery assured her that they wouldn't encounter any surprises.
"Alright, then, do inform if there is anything important," Klea responded, her excitent palpable as she prepared to embark on her learning journey. Before she could make her exit, Ery halted her with a mysterious tone, "Well, don't leave yet," inviting her to join him.
Intrigued, Klea's curiosity got the better of her, and she inquired, "A surprise? I love a surprise."
Ery guided Klea to his newly established workshop at the apothecary center. Despite the place being fully operational, it presented an unusual sight – it was empty.
Klea, always quick-witted, remarked, "Great place, but you're not asking here just to show off, are you?"
Ery's response caught her off guard, "Take off your clothes."
With a playful chuckle, Klea replied, "Really... wow, you are so direct." She began to undress, teasingly revealing her graceful curves, anticipating a mont of seduction. However, her expectation turned into bewildernt when Ery presented her with a suit, stating matter-of-factly, "You can wear this."
"..."
Ery led Klea into the concocting room, a space filled with the enticing aroma of various ingredients. He busied himself preparing a massive cauldron, carefully selecting and combining multiple elents, and warming it up to the desired temperature. In the midst of his preparations, Ery gestured for Klea to enter the cauldron and bathe in its contents.
As she stepped into the cauldron, a realization dawned upon Klea. "Is this...?" she began, and Ery nodded knowingly. "That promised 8 years ago, I can finally give it to you."
The promise, made years ago, centered around creating a body enhancent formula that would surpass even the one crafted by Master Dulin at the privilege center. Ery's unwavering dedication to mastering recipes on the Vanyar planet, along with his recent achievents in concocting the legendary pill, all contributed to the fulfillnt of this commitnt.
Ery joined her in the cauldron, the gentle stream of water adding to the soothing warmth, his eyes gaze deeply at her "You see, the legendary pill I successfully made, the master title—I got... it all thanks to you. Thank you for believing in ."
Whether it was the enveloping warmth of the water or the profound sincerity in Ery's words, Klea's cheeks flushed red. Touched by the depth of emotion, the two shared a tender kiss, sealing a bond forged through shared dreams and fulfilled promises.
"Thank you for keeping your promise."
The subsequent hours were spent in a shared, rejuvenating hot bath, a process ticulously designed to prepare their bodies. As the warm water worked its magic, Ery eventually produced two pieces of the [360 Celestial ridians Pill].
This latest creation, a culmination of Ery's mastery in body enhancent recipes and perfected with the ingredients from the hot bath, promised 20% more potency. The anticipation reached its peak as the bath worked its intended effects, and both Ery and Klea eagerly ingested the pills simultaneously.
As the pills descended down their throats, an imrsive cascade of sensations enveloped them. Ery sensed the surge of strength perating every inch of his body, as if the very essence of vitality was revitalizing his muscles, bones, and flesh. Subtle yet profound notifications began to populate his consciousness:
[Your body experiences changes]
[Battle power rapidly increasing]
[Battle power has increased by 3]
[Battle power has increased by 2]
[Battle power has increased by 2]
[....]
[Battle power 475 (495)]
Ery eagerly awaited the culmination of the enhancent process, and after half an hour, the notifications ceased. To his delight, he had gained an additional 20 points, a testant to the effectiveness of the pill. Given his existing attributes as a dual halfmoon magus with a rank 9 bloodline, this outco exceeded his expectations.
However, the real surprise ca with Klea's results. Bursting with vitality, she exclaid,
"I can't believe it!! 44 points!"
[Battle Power 322 (366)]
The unexpected outco for Klea's enhanced Battle Power left Ery both surprised and intrigued. While the common belief was that a halfmoon magus could gain a maximum of 30 points, even with the bath's effects, Ery had initially set his expectations at 35 points. Pondering the reason for this remarkable result, he couldn't help but recall Master Dulin's earlier remarks about Ery's body—a physique inherited from a lower realm planet, known for its inherent limitations.
The revelation only fueled Ery's excitent, motivating him to replicate the sa treatnt for his friends.
As the process concluded, Ery prepared to leave the cauldron, but Klea halted him. "You're going to leave just like that?" she questioned.
Ery, taken aback, was t with an unexpected response. Klea forcefully pulled him close and whispered, "Because of you… there is too much energy in … you need to take responsibility…"
The night unfolded in a fervent display of passion, they cauldron apart, and continue indulging in their desires until all the excess energy was consud. The intimate connection between them deepened, intertwining their beings in a shared mont of intense affection. Unbeknownst to them, the passage of ti escaped their awareness, and a new day had dawned.
Ery's realization struck—he hadn't allocated any ti to create the pills he intended. While still enveloped in the warmth of their shared experiences, Klea, with a playful giggle and a radiant smile, remarked, "Thank you for the surprise." She gracefully departed, leaving for the formation study.
