Chapter 122: Body of a Warrior [Bonus chapter]
Without knowing the dire situation of his women, Kent is immersed in the manual of 'Tome of destruction and restoration'. For hours, he sat in the same spot while reading about the poisons and their elixir cure. Every detail is etched in his memory due to his fast-grasping power.
By the time he reached the last 13 combat poisons, his curiosity peaked. The process of making these 13 arrows is completely different. In this method, poison will be used with their weapons.
For example, if it's a sword, the poison will be poured on the sword's edge. When used with a related aura spell, the poison will leave the sword along with the aura spell. But in the case of a bow, a physical arrow should be used to attack the enemy.
By the time Kent finished the entire manual, the sun reached the edge of the horizon. Even though the process of making these poisons and their elixir cures is simple, the dangers involved in handling the ingredients are not a small matter.
As he tied the palm leaf manuscript with the same withered vine, his curiosity reached its peak to try concocting an elixir cure. But he controlled the urges, remembering the warnings mentioned before each spell.
Soon, his thoughts turned into physical arrows. He had very little knowledge about them. "Shhh… It's better to ask Elder Porus about these types of arrows. He might show me how to make one." Kent muttered as he got down from the bed.
The evening sun is still shining on the horizon. With a sigh, he prepared to relax in the spa room. Just as he got out of his resting room, the sky orb began glowing with incoming visuals.
As Kent saw his aunt Eila's face on the sky orb, he hurriedly reached back and waved his hand with an excited smile.
After exchanging a few greetings, Eila asked about his situation. Hiding a poison attack, Kent explained how he ended up on the healing sun peak.
"Wahhh… Why didn't you tell me this in the first place? Your aunt is also a healer. That too is a is a 9th rank healer. So, do you really want to become a healer?" Eila asked with a curious look.
"Yes, aunty. Due to some recent situations, I decided to learn healing and potion-making for the future.. But I promise, I will put my focus mainly on bow mastery." Kent replied in a sincere tone.
"That's good… Becoming a healer will definitely help you as an archmagus in the future. Also, you don't need to worry about wasting time on potion-making. I will send my personal notes and valuable resources for your practice. By the way, do you have any personal cauldrons for potion making?" Eila asked with a questioning look.
"No, aunty, one of my rooms contains a fire pit and different-sized cauldrons. I think they will be enough to learn potion-making." Kent replied, thinking about the potion-making room.
"Bullshit, only crappy healers will use such types of trash cauldrons. I think there is a phenix flame cauldron in the treasury of our family. I will send that to you by tomorrow. Don't even touch those trashy cauldrons." Eila spoke seriously.
"Thank you, Aunty. By the way, why did you contact me so suddenly?" Kent asked with a curious look.
"Ohh, my bad. How could I forget this? Kent, I'm actually leaving the blue planet in a few days. I'm going to the third realm for business purposes. I won't be available for you in the next three months. I just wanted to ask you if you need anything before I leave." Eila said, touching her forehead.
Kent became silent for an instance as he thought about any urgent needs. "No… aunty. I don't need anything urgently. I have enough aura stones to spend. Also, for the next three months, I will also get busy with training." Kent replied while staring at Eila in the sky orb.
"Okey then. I won't disturb your training. Tomorrow, I will send my Raven a cauldron and other valuable things. I hope you will become strong by the time I come back." Eila spoke in an encouraging tone.
After chatting for another few moments, Kent disconnected the communication orb and went inside the spa room. He released the hot water and got down into the big crystal bath tub.
"What the hell? When did I get this body?" Kent muttered incredulously, his gaze fixed upon his reflection in the pristine surface of the crystal bath tub. He stood bare inside the bath tub, and his gaze moved to his muscles.
His slender frame completely changed into a sturdy, rock-hard structure with a lean build. His muscles, once bulky, now stood out in bold relief, each contour etched with definition and purpose.
Kent ran his hands over his chest, feeling the solid mass of muscle beneath his fingertips—the sensation foreign yet undeniably his own.
As he traced the lines of his body, memories flashed through his mind like fragmented images of his past self. But even after thinking for a long time, Kent did not understand how all this happened. He wondered if it may be due to poison and elixir cure effects. But he quickly discarded that idea.
What he doesn't know is that the yang energy he absorbed from Black Belle Miss began showing its effects. Kent couldn't fathom how or when this transformation had occurred, but one thing was certain, he was no longer the same person he once was.
As the crystal bath tub filled with hot water, Kent kept his thoughts aside and focused more on his body. An excited smile played on his lips as fingers ran over his muscular body. Soon, he finished bathing and wore a new set of combat clothes.
After making sure that everything was in order, he left the palace on his Fire Kirin, which automatically got locked with a touch from his emerald green disciple token.
The outside world is already covered in shades of darkness. Hiding his face under a mask, Kent left the healing sun peak.
