Chapter 467 - Breath Of The World Tree

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As Shion's confusion grew she said nothing and simply continued to watch. Since she couldn't understand why such a skillful alchemist would create a long-lost potion that wasn't relevant to the situation Shion decided to keep quiet and look at what would happen next.

...

After she was done mixing the potion Lara looked a bit disappointed, the quality of the potion was barely acceptable. Still, she had no choice since the materials on hand were less than desirable, she was even forced to use her own blood as a replacement material to create this poor-quality potion.

In one of Lara's past incarnations, Evangeline was a genius alchemist, who later became the greatest of alchemists. She was one of the few mortals that could challenge Old Gods and actually win. She was considered by most of the ancient alchemists as the pinnacle.

Yet now in her current incarnation, she had to use these low-grade materials. If it was her from before, she would never even look at this shit*y materials.

'Beggars can't be choosers. It might be of inferior quality but it is still the breath of the world tree, one of the best mana potions you could create.'

Once she was done creating the breath of the world tree Lara headed towards Ren who was now fully unconscious. Valdel was standing beside Ren's unconscious body and was watching over Ren.

"Val, since Ren's unconscious he won't be able to drink this, so I need to insert it myself, but since he's unconscious he would most likely attack any that try to touch him by reflex. So I want you to hold him down for a few seconds."

Valdel nodded his head, as he too understood that even in this situation as he was dying, Ren was someone that could do that. Based on the strength he showed while fighting the Goddess of Light, Ren was already at a level were Valdel could probably only last for about five hits if he goes all out.

"Kor, you help as well. You and Val hold Ren down while I feed him the potion." Kor who was at the back was surprised that he was called. He looked stunned for a second but then nodded his head.

"Alright, we need to do this quickly and at the same time. There's a high chance that Ren even in this state would be able to counter so expect that you might die. Are you ready?" Valdel asked Kor who was in front of him.

"I'm ready."

"Alright, shall we do it on the count of three?" Kor nodded his head in response.

"One."

"Two."

"Three!"

Valdel and Kor quickly moved to hold onto Ren's hands, yet the moment they were about to touch Ren's body he suddenly moved. Ren who was unconscious summoned Snertal and was about to counter, yet because of his injuries he was moving slower than usual. If it was the normal Ren he would've already cut the two, but the current Ren was still at the motion before initiating the slash. Valdel reacted quickly and hit Ren's wrist with a chop making Ren drop his sword. Kor used this chance to hold onto Ren's legs making him stumble onto the floor.

Valdel shifted his position and grabbed hold of Ren's hands. Ren struggled to break free, and it was obvious that his body was trying to unconsciously use mana which made him spit out blood instead. Ren then stopped moving as his body could no longer exert any more force.

Lara took this chance and put the contents of the potion into her mouth and forcefully made Ren drink it mouth to mouth. She continued to do this until the pot was empty. Once she was done Valdel and Kor quickly released Ren and backed away.

Valdel and Kor were panting as it took a lot of effort to restrain Ren without trying to hurt him more than they need to. Now the group just waited to see if what they had done was enough to fix Ren up.

Lara looked at Ren while gritting her teeth. This was the best she could do with the limited time and materials available to her.

'Damn it, I was even once called the Queen of Alchemy but this the most I can do... No, it's alright, Ren is someone who has the greatest of luck as he is beyond the bounds of fate or destiny. Surely this won't be the end of this incarnation's journey.'

Even though it wasn't showing in her face Lara was extremely anxious as she bit her lips. She looked at Ren waiting for him to show her a miracle. If it was anyone else in this situation she would already have given up, and say that there was no hope even if she used something like the healing potion, the Blood of God. But this wasn't just anyone, this was Ren, this was the Strongest Mortal Soul, surely he would surprise her as he did many times before.

'Ren you said that only those that endure the longest will attain victory. I believe that you will always be the victor so please show me that you will endure this.'

...

Shion who was watching everything at the corner was amazed by what she saw. How could someone who had a hole in his abdomen and who was in an unconscious state move like that?! She couldn't even see how he moved as it all happened so fast.

Once the injured person was being held down, the beautiful woman who created the breath of the world tree, forcefully made the injured person drink it by using her own mouth.

Even now Shion was confused as to how a potion that would restore mana could help the person who had a hole in his abdomen. It was true that mana could improve one's regenerative qualities, but it wasn't all that good. Even healing spells from priests would have difficulty healing that kind of injury. Only those at the level of the Saints could possibly heal such an injury.

As Shion continued to observe the injured man she noticed something was happening. The hole in the injured person's abdomen looked to be moving. She then suddenly felt an oppressive force coming from the injured person. It was getting harder to breathe as an invisible force was weighing down on her.

The person called Valdel then stood in front of Shion and placed his right hand on her back. Shion then felt the heavy pressure being lifted as she could finally breathe properly again. She didn't know what happened, but she knew that Valdel had helped her.

"Thank you."

"There's no need for thanks, I actually need to say sorry instead, as it was our friend's fault that happened to you." When she heard what Valdel said, Shion looked at the injured person and saw that the hole on his abdomen was getting smaller.

"How?" Shion couldn't help but ask as she was bewildered by how a mana potion could have such an effect. Did she perhaps make a mistake in identifying the potion and that wasn't the breath of the world tree, but was instead another legendary potion called the Blood of God?
