The Last Alchemist

Dim underground hall.

If there was a second person present, they would have found a young man in thick leather armor sitting motionless on the ground. His face was hideous, his whole body was twitching constantly, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

Just three or four meters away from the young man, there was a small ball with a blazing white light on the ground.

This ball not only began to glow, but also floated up little by little. After about one meter above the ground, it moved closer to the young man's body little by little.

About five or six minutes later, the ball approached the young man and hovered when it was less than 20 centimeters away from his eyebrows.

"Ah~~~~"

The young man opened his mouth wide and let out a hoarse roar from his throat, as if he was experiencing great pain, but his body remained sitting there and never made any move to escape.

As time passed, the light ball became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire underground hall as bright as day. Its volume was getting bigger and bigger. At first, it was only the size of a fist, but it expanded rapidly. When it expanded to the size of a silver plate, the light ball stabilized.

Strangely, there was a thin light connecting the young man and the light ball. From the direction of the light flow, it seemed that something in the light ball was constantly flowing into the young man's body.

The young man was naturally Rosen. In the intense pain, he had only one thought in his mind: 'Why did I use magic to explore such a mess? Why can this damn ball be fine in Amlan's hands. '

Amlan is also a magician, and a powerful four-star magician. If you say that Amlan has not used magic to explore the structure of the ball, Rosen would not believe it a hundred or a thousand times.

The burning sensation became stronger and stronger, as if his body would be burned to ashes in the next moment, but strangely, this 'next moment' never came.

In the great pain and torment, Rosen waited and waited, and didn't know how long it had been. It might be half an hour or most of the day. As a result, he found that he was still alive.

‘What’s going on?’ Rosen was a little confused, and suddenly another thought popped up in his mind: ‘Oh, this thing shouldn’t be fatal. Amlan has probably experienced similar situations, and he is still alive and well afterwards, right?’

Thinking of this, Rosen’s pressure was relieved.

Although the process was a little painful, judging from Amlan’s lively performance, this incident should not leave any sequelae. In this case, this experience is just a punishment for a failed experiment. Although it is quite scary, he accepted it.

After a while, Rosen suddenly felt a dark in front of his eyes, and the endless white light suddenly disappeared without a trace, just as abruptly as it appeared.

At the same time, the blazing burning sensation disappeared, and the surrounding air became cold and wet again, with some rotten stench.

“It’s over?”

Rosen felt relieved, and he opened his eyes carefully. It was dark in front of him, and the only light was the torch on the distant wall that was about to burn out.

He immediately reached out and touched his body, especially the skin everywhere on his body. As a result, the skin was intact, without burns or blisters, but with a lot of sweat.

After confirming that he was safe, Rosen immediately turned around to look for the golden sphere on the ground in the distance.

He was stunned again when he saw it.

The sphere was still there, but it was not in the original position, but at his feet. But the strange thing was that the sphere was no longer golden, but gray, and there was no faint white light on the surface. It looked like an ordinary stone.

"Is this thing broken?"

Rosen's heart tightened, and he reached out to pick up the sphere.

At the moment when the sphere was in his hand, he heard a light sound of "puff", and the sphere turned into stone powder. When the breeze blew, the stone powder flew everywhere, light and fluttering like burning embers.

"."

"Crack~~Crack~~~"

Another sound came from my ear, and it sounded like a stone breaking. Rosen looked over and found that the body of the dead guard had also turned gray. There were cracks on the surface of the body that spread rapidly. In a blink of an eye, the whole body was covered.

‘Hua La~~’

The body of the dead guard collapsed and turned into a pile of stone powder on the ground.

“What the hell. What happened? Uncle, I still need to use your body to detoxify, why did you collapse?”

Rosen rushed forward and reached out to pick up the stone powder on the ground.

At this time, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. He hoped that these stone powders still retained the characteristics of detoxification. In order to verify this, Rosen activated his magic power regardless of the risk of being electrocuted, and used magic to explore the composition of the stone powder.

The result made him dumbfounded.

‘How can granite be granite powder? What happened? This dead guard has been here for so long and has been fine, why did it suddenly collapse? ’

I thought I had found the antidote to the destructive toxin, but in the blink of an eye, the antidote turned into a pile of waste because of his mistake. This ups and downs made Rosen feel quite upset.

‘The antidote is gone, and there is no clue for the research on detoxification. Am I really only able to use the method of the sage Niya? ’

‘No, I can't give up. Maybe this stone powder also has a special detoxification effect. Yes, do an experiment, I will get another monster to do the experiment. ’ Rosen kept encouraging himself.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of stone powder, wrapped it with cloth, put it in his waist bag, then adjusted his weapons and walked towards the exit of the passage.

‘At present, the monsters are divided into two categories. One has bright eyes and is very powerful, and should not be underestimated. The other has dark eyes and moves as stiffly as a puppet. It is basically safe to catch this kind of monster. I hope I am lucky enough to meet the latter. By the way, I can also kill a few monsters and earn a free talent point. ’

Thinking of the free talent points, Rosen subconsciously glanced at the situation of the alchemy talent tree.

After taking a look, Rosen was stunned and subconsciously stopped.

On the alchemy talent tree, it was clearly shown that he had 12 free talents, and only 3 points were needed to light up the second key to the promotion to the great magician: the magic contract.

It would be fine if the free talent points suddenly increased by several points, which might be because he killed a powerful tree demon puppet. What really surprised Rosen was that there was a golden icon above the talent tree.

There are words on the icon, which read: ‘Heart of the Sun’, and there are notes next to it.

‘Heart of the Sun.

Effect 1: The user’s energy pool recovery speed is increased by 200 times, lasting for 20 seconds. (Activate and use, cooldown time is 2 days.)

Effect 2: The user will gain a new ability: quantum supersense. In this state, the user’s element control ability is doubled, and the element perception ability is doubled. The user can directly observe the probability cloud distribution of microscopic particles. ’

(Note: The power of the gods fills your body.)

Rosen was stunned. Just from the literal description, he felt that this heart of the sun was an amazing skill. The role of effect 1 is clear at a glance, which can help him quickly restore energy. This is a very powerful auxiliary combat skill.

The new ability quantum supersense in effect 2 is a bit mysterious.

Now, Rosen can observe the molecular atomic field with the help of alchemical magic. If this quantum supersense can further improve him, wouldn’t it be directly entering the subatomic field?

‘I understand, I understand, it must be the effect of the Death Guard Heart. Oh my god, I absorbed the Death Guard Heart. This is quite powerful. I need to verify the effect quickly. Maybe I can use my new quantum supersensory ability to conduct further research.’

‘No, I have to catch a tree demon puppet and study it carefully!’

He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and trotted towards the exit of the underground sewer.
