Ficool

Chapter 38 - Beast Tide

After a while, Master Virgo recovered from his emotions. He is not standing in front of the pot with all the potion materials placed on a table beside him. 

Kyson stood on one side with Roast, and Melody stood on another. The three people and one chicken surrounded the black pot, all with serious faces. 

"Let's start!"

At Master Virgo's signal, Kyson moved his mind and Roast immediately started the fire. 

The fire started as gentle at first. But gradually, the fire became more and more intense, exuding intense heat.

But with Roast's control, the first isn't scattered, but more focused. Much like those controlled fires for cooking and for experiments.

After the pot heats up for a while, Master Virgo turns his attention to Melody. 

"Girl, go and put some ice inside."

Melody nodded. 

She immediately controlled the ice elements inside her body and released it inside the pot. 

Unlike before where it was used to cover the whole pot, this time, it was only used to cover a thin layer inside the pot. 

Seeing that, Master Virgo also started his next course of actions. 

Picking one of the ingredients, Master Virgo threw it inside the pot gently. 

As soon as it entered the pot, the carrot-like material melted like ice. 

From time to time, Master Virgo ordered the heat to decrease and sometimes increase. 

Master Virgo threw materials again for a while, and everything started blending together without any problems. 

Finally, Master Virgo is only left with one ingredient. 

It was the sunflower that Kyson handed to him. 

Looking at it, Kyson looked thoughtful. 

Just earlier, he learned from Master Virgo that this sunflower was actually the material of the Three-Hundred Sixty-Six Sun Flower that was just mentioned to him. 

From Master Virgo's words, he knew that this is a really precious and rare natural treasure. 

It was a material that one can only stumble upon, but now sought after. 

What's more important is that Kyson discovered that it was actually a really expensive treasure! 

Depending on the circumstances, the price of it could even reach more than a hundred million pesos!

Just thinking about how much money that is, Kyson's eyes started twinkling. 

'Hehe, once Master Virgo pays me, I will be a genuine millionaire!'

Thinking about how he will face his family in the coming future, Kyson smiled cheekily. 

While Kyson is thinking about different stuff, Master Virgo placed the sunflower inside the pot slowly and gently. 

Once the sunflower touched the other ingredients that turned into liquid inside the pot, it also melted red and orange liquid. 

With Master Virgo's gentle control, he mixed the various liquids in the pot using his own power. 

Sweat started dripping down from Master Virgo's forehead as he felt the difficulty of mixing the sunflower liquid with the others. 

Gritting his old teeth, he persevered and continued mixing without stopping. 

After 10 minutes later, the pot suddenly started glowing with golden light! 

"Woah!"

It was a light that was like the first rays of sunlight in the morning.

Bright, gentle, and as warm as parents' care. 

That's what Kyson felt when the golden light hit him.

After a while, the golden light subsided. 

Inside the pot, some golden liquid with glistening sparkles could be seen. 

"Wow…"

The three of them looked at it and the first one to react was Melody. 

Looking at the liquid in the pot, Melody felt that it looked more beautiful than a golden necklace or any other jewelry.

As a woman, she can't help but feel the urge to scoop it up and play with it. 

But knowing the situation she's in, she knows that she couldn't do that.

At this time, Master Virgo's joyful laughter once again sounded all over the room. 

"Hahahaha, I succeeded! You two, look, we succeeded!"

"Hahahaha, I am a Potion Grandmaster now! I am a Potion Grandmaster!"

Seeing the happy Master Virgo going around the room joyfully, Kyson smiled and said, 

"Congratulations, Master… no, Grandmaster Virgo!"

Master Virgo, now Grandmaster Virgo, smiled from ear to ear after hearing that. 

"Hahaha, kid, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be able to become a Grandmaster. I really owe you a lot this time!"

Saying that, Grandmaster Virgo looked at Kyson with eyes of gratitude and appreciation. 

With a smile, Kyson replied, "I am glad that I can be of help to you, Grandmaster Virgo. Maybe in the near future, I'll be the one who will need your help."

"If that ever happens, don't hesitate, kid. Just come to me. I will definitely do whatever I can to help you."

Saying that, Grandmaster Virgo patted his chest heroically. 

Kyson felt happy hearing that. 

Just as they were about to continue talking, rapid sounds of bells started ringing throughout the whole Vitri Town.

Suddenly, Grandmaster Virgo's face changed. 

"Not good!"

Hurriedly, he ran out of the concoction room, and out of the Potion shop. 

Kyson and Melody didn't know what's going on.

But from the looks on Grandmaster Virgo's face, it is clearly not a good thing. 

They quickly followed Grandmaster Virgo out of the Potion shop and saw a chaotic scene outside. 

Soldiers wearing silver armors and some individuals wearing their own equipment are heading in the same direction.

Each of them wore a solemn look on their faces. As if they are about to face a great enemy. 

Citizens are running back to their respective house, carrying their children in a hurry.

Watching all of these, Kyson stood beside Grandmaster Virgo and said, "What's happening?"

"Why does it look like everyone is preparing for a big battle?"

"Because they are…"

Saying this, Grandmaster Virgo sighed. 

Watching the flow of soldiers, mercenaries, and adventurers, Grandmaster Virgo said,

"Right now, everyone is heading to the gate of the town. They need to stand there to prepare for the upcoming attack."

Hearing that, Kyson's pupil dilated. 

"An attack? Who is attacking Vitri Town?!"

Grandmaster Virgo slowly shook his head. 

With a solemn expression, he said, "It's not who, but what."
