Chapter 93: A New Type Of Potion

A healing potion wasn't on the list of things that Raze was planning to create first. This was because, for a mage, they were relatively quite useless. Mages didn't have strong bodies; instead, they used magic to fortify themselves or create defensive barriers, counters, and many more.

If an attack from a mage managed to get through, it would mean the end for them in battle. Hence, potions weren't directly used on mages, but were something that existed for the general public.

In this case, though, a potion was extremely helpful. A Pagna warrior suffered from internal and external wounds, and they were able to withstand their fair share of punishment. It made Raze think; similar to how when mages fought they would constantly consume mana potions to aid them, a Pagna warrior could consume health potions in the middle of battle.

The basic one that Raze had created wouldn't be of much use; even now, he had to consume several to get back to his original state, but stronger ones would be ideal.

For Raze, who was both a Pagna warrior and a mage, it would do well for him to keep both. The cursed effect of the healing potion didn't matter much to Raze either, since he could create a regular mana potion afterward. n)(O1n

Now that he had the wind attribute, he could use magic other than that of Dark magic to create potions.

[An Uncommon Mana potion has been created]

[A small amount of mana has been replenished]

[Casting speed of spells will be increased for the next 5 seconds]

Since the mana potion was created with Wind magic, it didn't restore as much mana as one created with dark magic, but it had a nice effect.

'The casting speed doesn't matter much for basic spells like Dark pulse, but for the higher-tier spells that require more mana, it will come in handy.'

For now, Raze would continue to go through the ruined city and collect beast crystals. Every other building there seemed to have 1 or 2 of the dog beasts, and the most he would come across was four.

He repeated the process of making the mana potions and the healing potions until his whole body was back to what it once was. His broken arm had healed, and his whole body felt refreshed. He even jumped up and down and threw a few punches in the air.

Having used up his crystals, Raze continued his strategy of going through the houses. It seemed to help him not get surrounded or ambushed. He saw one of the dog beasts growling at him, and immediately it leaped towards him. Rather than using the Dark pulse as he normally would do, the air was swirling around his hand.

"Silent strike!" Raze whispered, as he performed the two-step shift. He had gathered the Qi in his body, but rather than a fist, he had his fingers together pointed outward. He swung it across the dog's neck, and it sliced it open.

'Even with skills like Silent strike, if I utilize it with Qi, it makes it stronger.'

With the next set of beasts that Raze hunted, he had used mainly Silent strike along with a few other Wind attribute skills. He did his best to only use wind attribute magic unless he was put in a dangerous situation.

With the effect of the Dark Magic ring, Raze was gaining back his mana with each kill, and since Silent strike used up nothing, he could seemingly go on forever. In the end, he ended up with sixteen level 1 power stones before he decided to take a break.

He was inside one of the homes he had just recently cleared again, checking what he had in his robe. Now that he was in another dimension, he was wearing his robe freely, since here, if anyone spotted him, he wanted to be known as the Dark Magus.

The reason Raze had been using the wind magic to fight against the beasts was that he wanted to improve its attribute. When he could, he wished to enchant another ring with wind magic. It wouldn't be cursed, so there would be no downside, but it would allow him to keep better track of the ring.

'Since I didn't really prepare coming to this place, I only prepared four bottles.' Raze was thinking about the best thing to do. The healing potions weren't effective enough to use on the go, so in battle, it would be practically useless. So instead, Raze had decided to create a couple more mana potions.

[1 Uncommon Wind-based Mana Potion]

[2 Uncommon Cursed Mana Potions]

With the stage he was at now, the Cursed potions were more effective if he got into trouble. However, he was sure that with a potion with that powerful of an effect, it was something that perhaps couldn't be used consecutively one after another, not that it was something one would want to do unless they wanted to suffer from Mana poisoning.

With the last bottle on the ground, Raze had decided to create an entirely new magic formation. He wanted a new type of potion, and when the spell was finally cast, it was filled with green liquid.

[A common Buff potion has been created]

[Increase the user's speed slightly for 10 seconds]

'This is something that Dark magic is unable to produce, a complete buff potion for the user. Or at least not one that has been discovered yet, although I would hate to think what the downsides would be.'

With the potions created, he had stored them inside his robe. It was time for him to continue hunting once again. He could increase his wind attribute, and although level 1 stones were pretty much not useful to him any longer, he could always sell them for a pretty penny.

Exiting out of the house, Raze had entered onto the wide street, the road that led up to the large wall. He had been getting closer to it bit by bit. If he didn't want to use the formation he had seen in the cave, he could always go to the place he was at before and use the formation he did know.

It would send him back to the temple, but at least it was a sure way for him to return. There would be a few questions he suspected for him if he did that though.

"Hey!" A voice shouted out, and it sounded as if it was from above. "This isn't our meeting day; what are you doing here on your own? You should be careful; otherwise, you might get taken out like the first time we met."

When Raze looked up, he could see a group of people on top of one of the houses. It wasn't just any group of people; it was Dame along with his small squad.

'This might not be a bad time to meet actually.' Raze thought. 'I need to know whether or not he's from the demonic faction and what does that even mean? Just what kind of cultivation technique did I learn, and whether or not it would bring him trouble?'
