Ascension of the Nephilim

639 To Make it Impossible for Others to Learn

A cauldron sat on the public squares. It took a few minutes, but many were curious enough and voluntarily offered their own ingredients for Emeros to use.

Everyone was curious about what he would do.

The physician watched from a distance. Eager to see the process. Alchemist were very secretive of their own process. They would guard their recipes and techniques and pass them down the generations.

"So he has no choice but to accept the challenge and make the pill? His skills will be revealed…" The physician observed.

And so, a small area appeared within the busy markets where Emeros stood at the center.

Duels and challenges are expected within the city, but this one drew the attention of many.

Among the crowd were the assassins that were sent to kill them. But they were all positioned at a distance.

The physician that was assigned had commanded them to stop.

"Why did you command us to stop, my lord? In this scenario, we can kill. We can kill him!"

"...There's something strange with that man. The magic that emerged from his body… it looked… different. And his body temperature did not even alter by a bit." The physician frowned.

"Wasn't it already explained? Goldes seemed to have hit the nail on the head! And perhaps, he used other means to create fire. He is quite the trickster, according to the reports."

"No. My eyes are trained to see the changes inside the body. I can assure you… that fire came from within him. I can see the energy and heat from within and leave his palms. But no heat remained… Let's wait it out. I want to see just what this boy is capable of…" The physician frowned.

Emeros continued to prepare for his pill-making.

The cauldron was there, the ingredients present.

They all saw Emeros do yet another peculiar thing. He drew an energy conversion circle inside the cauldron and at the bottom of it!

It was confusing, and many laughed at the insanity that Emeros did.

Many even saw the strange symbols and mocked Emeros as he was

Emeros took out a mana potion and gulped it down.

And then, fire emerged out of his hands once more!

Everyone was startled. Was he planning on creating the pill with his bare hands?!

Emeros ignored everyone's voices, and a flame appeared over his hand.

The energy conversion circles began to light up.

"Behold! My version of Vitalis Siphoning! The first step of alchemy!" Emeros began to use one hand to ignite the cauldron, and the energy conversion circle was strangely constantly burning with another energy source!

The stages for pill making began with Vitalis Siphoning. This was extracting all elements from a monster, energy stone, plant, or any other object of alchemy.

But Emeros skipped this step and tossed it all into the cauldron!

"What the…?!" Even the physician watching frowned.

The cauldron was heating up with little flames, and Emeros just wildly threw in all the monster parts of the millipede.

But as the millipedes were tossed in, Emeros made a severe expression.

"Mataka Shurlevy Dovalox!" Emeros shouted.

FLASH!

The cauldron lit up as if it found a source of heat.

The chant had no meaning, and Emeros only used it to make everyone believe the incantation had its uses.

"Impossible! Self-heating! Those energy conversion circles are… generating its own heat!"

"But how?! What energy source did it use!"

"The fire! Look!"

Emeros stopped heating up the cauldron, but the bottom part of the cauldron was still glowing red hot!

This was a technique that the Emberdons used to save a lot of energy and resources. Their genius usage of creating what was known as the self-preserving energy conversion circles could be used for many practical spells. Heating, cooling, preserving, compressing, electrifying, and so on.

Vitalis Siphoning was made possible because of the energy conversion circles. In very advanced worlds, and even in the world of gods and fallen, magics were automated due to the immense technology and learned language of the First Word.

But automation was not enough. For Emeros to have done it, he needed something that could cause the automation.

And while it would be triggered by an external energy, the energy that would continue would come from the excess energy and waste of the burning ingredients!

The secret was that the circle used was a dark-dependent circle able to consume and activate through Death Energy!

Emeros only used fire to hide the darkness he was constantly using to empower the cauldron to eat the death energy and create an alchemy of great purity.

Everyone who watched barely understood ten percent of what was really happening as Emeros began to toss the bones and parts of the creature.

"Next up… Vitalis Synthesis! Time to throw in my ingredients!"

Emeros was using the poisonous millipedes and was throwing down all of its dangerous and highly poisonous parts!

He even began tossing wolf parts and other beasts' organs into the cauldron.

The death energy empowered the heat as it became fuel to burn and kept the flames up.

At once, he began to throw various things into the cauldron.

"Ants to increase the earthy essence of the pill… ground together with the Lake Crystals Shards… Lake World Wolf Pelt to add more cool gathering energies… Under Valley Flower Petals for that nice scent. Oh! Ice cubes! This will cool things up!"

The people were confused by the bizarre actions and the random ingredients that he was throwing in. The ingredients themselves didn't make any sense!

"Throwing ice cubes?!" A mage had a confused expression.

"I am making a Temperate Fire Wielder Pill… So ice cubes should work, right?" Emeros laughed as he toyed around.

Many mages didn't know how to answer Emeros's counter as it was too stupid.

But inside, the dark energy began to absorb and compress all the energy.

"Energy Confinement! Vitalis Sealing!" Emeros began to harness all the magic energy he had and unleashed it.

The magical powers surged and stunned everyone.

"Is this boy a Captain?! The amount of magic he has…!"

The seals in the energy conversion circle began to glow as certain letters were highlighted.

"He's using… Energy conversion circles to perform all the steps of pill-making! Impossible! What energy conversion circle is that?!" Another mage exclaimed.

FLASH!

A cold light shot out as even the heat in the cauldron vanished.

Emeros had reached his hand out as the light shot out.

Three ice-blue pills appeared on his hand.

"Behold! The Greater Temperate Fire Wielder Pill!" Emeros smiled.

seriously. Perhaps Senior Teacher can vouch for me?" Emeros laughed.

12:50

Zwelus rolled his eyes.

The crowd watched in shock.

The pill expelling out great energy meant that the amount of power that the cauldron contained was very high. This told the process of Vitalis Siphoning, Vitalis Synthesis, Energy Confinement, and Vitalis Sealing was done so marvelously that there was a significant excess of the energy gathered.

"How was that possible?!" One of the assassins next to the physicians exclaimed in shock. He could not understand just how it was possible!

"Heh… He was forced to make a show in front of everyone. But he has perfectly hidden the process and secret of his alchemy making! Even I can't understand what he did! What an interesting man!" The physician smiled.

"He hid his process?"

"Yes. I naturally know alchemy. I could be equal to a Three Star Alchemist here. He added a lot of useless and confusing things to make it impossible for other experts to learn his Alchemy Road."

"Now… Mister Close Combat Fire Hand. This is the pill." Emeros offered.

Goldas was silent. But the strange coldness was unlike any other pill that he had taken!

"That pill was made with poison! Toss that thing away, or it will kill someone! You all saw it! What kind of a pill is made without fire, without the process of mixing, grinding, and all those steps! He skipped all those steps!" The shop owner exclaimed.

"No. He didn't. Treat it as a gift to all of you." An alchemist moved.

"...Senior Teacher Zwelus!" Many in the crowd shouted.

Emeros saw the teacher and bowed. This was one of the teachers who met with him when he arrived.

"Senior Teacher! How rare to see you here."

"I heard you went out. I was concerned. But it seems that you are quite learned in alchemy." Zwelus smiled.

"Your praise honors me. It's hard being young. No one believes me. No one treats this pill I made seriously. Perhaps Senior Teacher can vouch for me?" Emeros laughed.

Zwelus rolled his eyes.

"I didn't want to. But it pains me to see such excellent alchemic skills go to waste. Everyone... What you have seen before is known in the alchemist world as Interpolation. It usually appears to those who are Three Star Alchemists such as myself."

Everyone was startled at his words. Three Star Alchemists held an excellent reputation in the Floating Continents as they could create pills that would help one surpass the bottleneck of level 29 and become a Champion!

"Impossible! That was an Interpolation!?" Another alchemist exclaimed. He was rather well known in the city as he was a two-star alchemist.

"Alchemy and Energy Conversion Circles. He is quite skilled as a Circle Creator. But all my claims that astound you can be proven with a simple solution. Close Combat Fire Hand. Take the pill and show us its effects." Zwelus turned to the man.
