Death… And Me

Sometime later, Roan and Kentucky arrived at the place where he last left his Alchemist Workshop. At the moment, it was all covered in vines, and grass was growing everywhere. It was quite dirty. Of course, that was only the outside. The insides had an automatic cleaning system that didn't let a single spec of sand enter.

"Seems like he kept his part of the deal," Roan couldn't help but comment.

Futuxei didn't take long to appear. Roan and Kentucky looked at him and immediately noticed. Futuxei went from the Late Stage to the Peak Stage of the Space-Time Realm. Well, Neither Roan nor Kentucky were really worried about that, though.

"I kept your workshop intact," Futuxei began to speak. "Next time I need a pill, you will have to concoct it for me as we agreed." Futuxei also had no ill intentions. Besides, he now truly wanted to have that favor from Roan.

Roan nodded, not minding it at all. "That's fine by me. If you want, I can concoct a Law Pill right now."

Futuxei shook his head, though. "I have no need for a new one at the moment. You were right in the end. I had two World Swallowing Pills; the first one I consumed together with an Earth Life Pill. The effects were absolutely incredible."

"Yet, as you mentioned, that was only for the first pill. From the second onwards, the effects would be negligible, if they had any effect at all. In fact, there was truly no change whatsoever. I thought that even if the effects were small, it would be worth the consumption. Too bad there was nothing extra to gain. My comprehension towards the Absorption Laws didn't change."contemporary romance

"That's good to know," Roan nodded with a satisfied expression. After all, he hasn't tested the pills himself yet. Also, he could see that Futuxei didn't seem very happy. "Let me guess. Since you used the second pill and it had no effect, you understood that you lost a huge treasure that you could have used for trading with someone else."

"Hmph!" Futuxei didn't want to admit it, but that was exactly the case. "Anyway, leave me some method of contacting you and take this Workshop of yours."

"No problem," Roan then waved his hand, and in the next second, the Alchemist Workshop disappeared without a trace. "By the way, I noticed the difference in the environment when I was coming. Was it all due to the Earth Life Pills that so much green spread around your home?"

Futuxei didn't deny it. "Yes. Even I am shocked by that. The laws of Wood that I can feel are much more apparent. Not only that, they seem to gather around me when I'm focusing on understanding them. The vegetation around was an aftermath of this process. Not that I'm complaining, of course."

Roan faintly smiled. "So there is an effect like that, uh? Very well."

Following that, Roan passed his own communication badge number to Futuxei. That would be the best way to find him as long as both of them were within range of the communication system. "Just one thing. This continent was supposed to be a huge desert. If you continue to spread all this green around, you might catch the attention of some guys you don't want to. Anyway, whether you listen to my advice or not is up to you."

Without waiting for an answer, Roan left with Kentucky through a Spatial Gate. When they exited the other side, they were already far away.

Futuxei looked in the area where Roan's Spatial Gate disappeared and pondered a bit. Later that day, an empty forest in the middle of a desert was all that was left. Futuxei was gone.

Roan took a few teleport formations by himself after sending Kentucky back into the Dimensional Realm. This time, he was going back to the Devils' Territories. Of course, he didn't forget his main objective at the moment. He stopped on the way and found some hidden corner to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. There, he went straight to the Alchemy Workshop to work on the last pill they needed, the Light Clearance Pill.

*Zush, zush!*

Suddenly, Rean and Kentucky, who were cultivating, felt something flying in their direction. They both opened their eyes and caught the item with their Divine Energies. Only then did they notice what it was. "Could this be..."

Roan appeared in front of them with a stern expression. "What else? It's the Light Clearance Pill." He looked at Celis after. "Do you have your pills with you?"

Celis quickly changed back into his humanoid form as he took out two different pills. "They have never left my side."

Roan looked at the pills and lightly nodded before sitting in an empty space. "Calm your minds and make sure your bodies are in the optimal condition. Remember, the effects of the Law Pills only work once! If you waste some of its medicinal properties, consuming another one later will change nothing. You must gain as much as possible in this single use." Now that he had heard about Futuxei's experiences, Roan was even more serious.

Rean and the others didn't need to hear it twice. They stopped cultivating and spent a few minutes in silence. Only when they were all sure there was nothing wrong did they finally take all their pills out. Earth Life Pill;

Light Clearance Pill;

World Swallowing Pill;

Darkness Mind Pill;

*Gulp!*

Each one of them swallowed two pills at once. Celis took the Earth Life and World Swallowing Pills, while Rean, Roan, and Kentucky took the Light Clearance and Darkness Mind Pills. Their effects were shown in an instant. The medicinal properties invaded their bodies, minds, and souls, making a qualitative change in them all.

Following that, those laws that seemed so elusive until this moment began to show themselves. Not only that, they seemed to gather around these four. Roan wasn't kidding; their pills were truly at least three times better than the ones he made for Spiegel and the Holamenor Clan.
