Chapter 115 - Miasma Curing Potion
'Poison?!' Thought Angus.
"Master Valeron, why don't we try to use common poisonous ingredients?" said Angus.
"Poisonous ingredients? Hmm… That might work. As long as we could remove the harmful effect and leave the necessary properties. Alright, I will bring some ingredients that may work." said Master Valeron as he left Angus alone.
While being alone, Angus tries to create his poison. The one he wants to create is a simple paralyze poison that disturbs body movement. The process of making poison is more simple than making potions.
Potion needs a lot of calculation and consideration to not leave any harmful effect on its consumer. On the other hand, poison is the opposite of this. It needs to leave any harmful effect on its consumer.
Still, that doesn't mean the art of making poison is simple. In Firuman, where people have superpowers and unnatural endurance, they hardly could get sick or disease because of their strong body.
Because of this aspect, there are only a few poisons that could work especially against the high-grade combatant. There is even a rumor that said there is no poison that could work against seventh-grade combatants.
However, Angus didn't believe this rumor. In his previous life, he also could be said to be invincible against poison especially with his enormous chi. In the end, he still got killed because of the poison.
Because of this reason, Angus became interested in the art of poison. Not only will this art increase his lethality in fighting, but he also will train his body to have more resistance towards poison.
As long as his body could continue to resist the lethal poison, it is possible to have a body that will be impervious to poison.
According to Angus's knowledge, there are even certain races that are almost invincible to poison because they could produce more lethal poison from their body. Angus decided to follow this kind of example.
His experience teaches him that there is always a sky above the sky which means there is always something greater. He believes that there is an even higher realm than seventh grade or other impossible things that still have not been reached by others.
Just because it can not be found, it doesn't mean it didn't exist. One of the examples is Miasma Curing Potion which he is making right now.
After working for a while, Angus managed to create couples of poisons with the help of high-tech equipment nearby. According to his calculation and knowledge, the poison will only work for grade three below combatant.
Then, he stores the poison inside his wristwatch storage. He planned to make his body adapted to his own poison first. Not long after that, Master Valeron went back to the room.
"Ahh.. I am sorry for the delay, there is some other matter that I need to look after." said Master Valeron.
"Ohh.. Don't worry about it, Master Valeron. Anyway, let's continue where we left before." said Angus.
Soon, both of them went back to working together until late in the evening. Ingredients continue being tested off, as long as it is a common ingredient that will give effect to cold properties, they immediately try it on the solution they made before.
As time goes by, the moon already rises high in the sky. The citizens are already back to their own homes to rest. Yet the Angus and Master Valeron are still working tirelessly.
Working like this is quite normal in this world especially for people with high grades. Their body endurance is beyond normal people. Although Master Valeron is a researcher, he is still a full-fledged high-grade combatant that could still work continuously for a few days.
As for Angus, despite being only a grade one combatant, he has a high endurance from being enhanced by the system which makes his stamina better than a normal grade one combatant. He could still work non-stop without rest for an entire day without feeling fatigued.
Still, Master Valeron usually will suggest having a rest for every few hours to not overburden Angus as he is still in the growth period. However, now their project has reach conjunction and it will be decided as a failure or success.
Because of this, both of the two people work more fervently than before but still retain their precision in their movement.
"Fuu… just a drop of this and… " said Master Valeron while combining the solution.
Then, both of them look at the potion in front of them through the high-tech equipment. Observing the result, "It.. It's stable. It works... " said Angus.
"Hahaha… This is the first Miasma Curing Potion in the whole world. I never thought that I would be part of making this legendary potion. Thank you, Young Master Angus, for such an opportunity." said Master Valeron happily.
"What are you talking about, Master Valeron? It is also with your help that this potion could be created." said Angus.
After that, the two of them begin to discuss their next move. The potion may already be completed but it is still not yet to be tested. However, as the head of the research division, Master Valeron never lacked a testing subject.
According to their calculation, the potion should work just fine to anyone, even ungraded people. They also need to tell this joyous news to the King himself.
Although Angus and Master Valeron didn't care about politics, they still know that this potion may bring another fortune towards the Heart Kingdom especially at this time where everyone is still at war against the Monster Overlord.
After chatting for a little bit and creating more potion, Angus went back to his manor to rest. By the time Angus arrives at his manor, it is almost time for the sun to rise.
Fortunately, Angus already got permission to get home late or didn't go home at all before he departed towards the research center. This way, he could avoid his mother's nagging and immediately go to rest.
Angus may have superhuman endurance and stamina. But, he still got exhausted mentally especially after working for hours that needed high calculation ability and precision. The moment he touches his comfy bed, he immediately sleeps like a log.
A few days later, Angus went back to his academy to continue his studies. As for Miasma Curing Potion, they are already tested with various kinds of people. Like Angus suspected, the potion only works for fresh wounds below two weeks old time.
Otherwise, the miasma will already be ingrained too deep with the person's body and cannot be cured anymore. Still, the potion is already good enough. With the right manipulation, Heart Kingdom could monopoly the potion.
Moreover, no one will suspect that the creator of this potion is a twelve years old kid that still attends his academy class. Agnus is also the only person that knows the primary ingredient for the potion.
After thinking carefully, they decide to do more tests to observe for the unnecessary side effects before releasing it to the public. Master Valeron and Angus also need to create a production line that consists of droids to help mass production.
Angus needs to create the droid to help him prepare the main ingredient while the research center will create a production line that will turn Angus's solution into a potion.
By their estimate, it will take around one or two years for all of this to be done. It is not too late, since the current news about the monster war is reaching a stalemate for a few more years.
The reason is that it is hard to gather seventh-grade combatants in one spot for a long time. If it is for a few days it is still possible, but the Holy Alliance Nation is big and it will take a few weeks to take them back.
Moreover, fighting against the Monster Overlord itself takes time. According to the current record, it takes days when the few seventh-grade combatants fight against Monster Overlord. None of this fight is easy.
The nearby nation near Holy Alliance also does not passively defend itself. They also start to take back the Holly Alliance and push the monster horde little by little.
Since the Holy Alliance is already destroyed, it leaves a massive amount of land and resources behind to be conquered. The greedy nations nearby will not pass this chance to get these untouched resources and expand their domain.
Still, it is not easy to get all these resources and land. The deeper this nation moves towards the Holy Alliance nation, the stronger monster and undead monster along with its number.
After expanding their defensive line just for a little bit, they already meet with the endless horde of monsters and undead monsters. Basically, the war now reached a stalemate between the monster and Civilian Society side.
But, none of this truly affects Angus as he continues his life inside the academy peacefully while occasionally helping Jayna in her training.
Unbeknown to everyone, There is another force brewing inside the dark forest that is ready to be unleashed to the world.
