Ascension of the Nephilim

Chapter 638 To Make Pills For all to See

The fire appeared not on any staff or weapon. It directly appeared right over the hands of Emeros.

The Fire kept burning and burning, and the hands of Emeros didn't even show any signs of fire.

His fire rose above the sky and alarmed many who rushed to see the commotion.

Direct magic summoning on the hands or any body parts was dangerous for the mage users on this planet. They would have to suffer from the effects of the spell itself. This is why Fire was the most common pursuit of the mages and ice.

They were the most accessible magic types to contain within the body. Once elemental cores or any other magical replacements, they used to be grafted and release the elemental magic.

Most used staffs, wands, energy conversion circles, or enchanted weapons to harness the magic. But even with an external weapon to direct most of the magic, the spark or start of any magic had to begin inside the body where their mana was.

And so, fire mages would purchase, by bulk, a Temperate Fire Wielder Pill to lessen the heat that the magical triggers inside the body would face.

But of course, this direction was vastly inferior compared to the likes of those in the Planesworld. Even the Lowlands had better solutions to this with their heritages and knowledge on how to reduce the effects of the magic.

Emeros's body, which had merged with the Fire Core at a spiritual level, did not suffer from his own flames.

The fire towered up high and surprised everyone.

Emeros's expression did not change as he drained his entire mana pool to create the fire that became like a beacon for the city and caused many to run.

Many mages arrived at the scene in curiosity and saw the youth.

Finally, Emeros stopped.

"Impossible! Direct magic for nearly two minutes! And his arms don't seem burnt!"

"How did he do that?!"

The crowd erupted in discussion.

"This shop… sells you Temperate Fire Wielder Pills at a high cost since it uses ingredients from the Unconquered Floating Continents where many monsters and beasts of all kin appear. But I have a formula that can create a Temperate Fire Wielder Pill that would be half the cost and twice the power. It will also last two times longer." Emeros smiled as he took out a single pill.

During his time in the cave, he created numerous pills and miniature energy conversion circles in preparation for various situations and encounters in this place. Since everyone hated him, he knew he had to bribe, tempt, or gift numerous things to multiple groups of people to keep the hatred off him.

Everyone was silenced and amazed.

"This is a playbook right out of Grandpa Mezal's tricks. He managed to undo the hatred caused by Fate through great bribery and generous offers. And here, without Fate prodding people to hate me, this little pill ought to do the trick…" Emeros thought to himself.

Many mages approached. With a city full of practicing fire mages, they were all amazed by what they saw.

Many even approached closer and couldn't believe it.

The clerk who spoke to Emeros was stunned and silent.

"It's a trick! Do not be deceived!" The shop owner appeared.

"Such a pill is impossible to create!"

"Impossible? No. It's possible. It's only improbable that someone can make it. I believe you are the shop owner. Let me ask you this: Why do you think Prince Alistair offered me, a mortal realm youth, a position to be a teacher, not a student, in this school? And surely, the rumors of me winning the challenge of a Senior Teacher have spread! So why not?" Emeros asked.

He used his notoriety as a way to boost the marketing of his product.

"Bad publicity is still publicity…" Emeros thought and drew the attention and eyes of many.

"If you wish to test it out… why not take one pill? I offer one pill to anyone in dire need of it!"

"Me!" Without hesitation, a tall mage appeared.

Everyone saw the man and recognized him.

"Close Combat Fire Hand…" Many murmurs were heard as the man walked towards Emeros.

Emeros saw the fighter and was surprised to see a very unique class. This man was clearly a Battle Mage. But his weapon of choice was his own fist!

"It's quite rare to see an expert of Force in this country. I'd figure all the strong ones are mages..." Emeros smiled.

"You have good eyes." The man smiled.

"I am called Goldas, the Close Combat Fire Hand. I am one the best in terms of Force usage in this kingdom. I buy pills in bulk and, in fact, one of the most frequent customers of this shop."

"I am honored and humbled to have you as the tester."

Goldas only smiled.

As the shop owner saw who approached Emeros, he could not help but smile.

Goldas, the Close Combat Fire Hand, was a frequent customer and the recipient of many advantageous deals. He was also one of the brand ambassadors of the shop!

"Alright. Then take this pill."

"Take? Why would I take that? Who knows if you stole that from this shop. If you claim to be who you are, craft the pill here! You say it's half the cost, show us! Prove to us that this whole show of yours is not just some elaborate scheme. You must have taken a special pill provided by Prince Alistair and is sent here to attack and wither down the name of Prince Terenyos!"

The crowd all began to nod in realization. They all knew that the battle for the throne was intensifying.

"I will take the pill, but I want you to make the pills for all to see! Right here! Right now!" Goldas demanded.

At once, the crowd all had smiles. Those who could recognize Emeros and had heard ill news about him were all smiling.

But Emeros looked around and only chuckled.

"Fine. I'll buy a cauldron… and you… I'll buy the best ingredients you have!" Emeros smiled as he approached a hunter selling his wares.

The hunter was surprised. He only sold creatures found nearby, in the Valley Below the Lake!

"M-me?!" The hunter was among the few people allowed to hunt inside the Valley Below the Lake. Aside from limiting the number of people that track, as its primary purpose is for the students to train, the ingredients from the monsters found in the lake were all subpar compared to those in other locations.

"Yes! I said that the cost of the pill would be half the price! And I'll show it to everyone!"
