Lotus glowed more brightly by the second, and her power began to grow rapidly before pausing at the bottleneck to Overlord.
Then, it pushed right past, and the glowing effect began to fade.
The work had stopped completely, and everyone was staring at the Cleric. Nobody had warned them that the Darklight Host could do crazy things like that. If they had known it was an option, they would have asked to be Alchemists and learned how to make that potion for themselves.
Lotus sat down on the floor, staring at nothing, but with a huge smile on her face as she recovered from the effect.
Tessa cleared her throat, and Lotus gave her a thumbs up, but didn’t say anything.
"I think she’s just overwhelmed. I will go next." Nachtia declared, and grabbed the potion with her name on it.
She began to leak a dark black mist as the potion took effect, and her power soared, but it was clear that it was going to end far short of the Totem Ranked bottleneck. It just didn’t have the aura of Totem Ranked energy that would be necessary for the breakthrough.
Remi frowned. {I think that the ingredients simply aren’t powerful enough to go from Overlord to Totem this way. Maybe if you were right at the bottleneck. But I might need better ingredients.} freёweɓnovel.com
Nachtia shook out the tingling feeling from her arms, then cast a cleansing effect on herself after the effects of the potion ended.
"That’s fine. I can feel the increase in my mana pool and spell power. When I transform to Dragon form again, I suspect that I will be more powerful than I was before."
That reminded Karl: He had a Guild item to equip.
{Eternity’s Blessing} Artifact Grade. Mythic Rank. Equips in Guild Inventory. Activates the Guild Skill [Eternity], granting Guild Members the physical stats expected to be present at the peak of their life, at their current Rank.
He had gotten it as part of the settlement of the Duel, but he had completely forgotten about equipping it in the Guild inventory.
He pulled up the interface, and placed the item, then frowned at the System Notice.
{Authorization lacking. Guild Skill active for members of the Drodh Branch only.}
Well, that ruined his plan to surprise Supreme Lady Matilda, but it was good enough for his people. Not that they actually had any old and decrepit members, or small children. The new assistants were young, but not young enough that it would be a huge change in their stats.
Ophelia and Tessa took their potions, and Tessa began to glow red, while the Berserker just gave off an aura of powerful oppression. So, the glowing effect wasn’t a new feature, it was a side effect of using it on dragon Priestesses.
