The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision.

He was a wizard who had taken his magic skills to such an extreme that he can observe anything.

His awareness is so sharp that he can 'watch' events happening in America while sitting in Korea.

If we dare to rank him, he would be equal to Seo Yebin.

One of the superior beings living in Korea.

And one of the few who says he's Kim Seohyun's mentor.

'...Did the Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision show up?'

That's a possibility.

He is one of those beings closely linked to Kim Seohyun.

I held the fancy wooden box that held the essence of Dwoeokshini, the Horn of Verdure, and 'that' cautiously as I walked to the penthouse.

It could be stored in the void space, but if such valuable items are placed wrongly, there's a chance their effectiveness could go down.

[Master. Walk confidently. Anyone who sees you might think you're a thief.]

[Do you know how much all of this is worth?]

In response to the words of the Heavenly Demon, I hugged the wooden box to my chest.

Reaching the penthouse, I put the wooden box aside and took out the alchemy kit.

I had bought an alchemy kit while taking a break some time ago.

It's diamond grade.

During the gold era, I didnt have enough money, so I used items that were worth the cost. But this time, I spent money to buy a kit aiming for the highest efficiency.

I spent 500 million won on this.

And it wasn't a wasteful spend.

It cost me 500 million won even after getting various discount benefits from the Alchemy Guild because of the diamond badge.

I took out the essence of Dwoeokshini and the Horn of Verdure.

And also, the Amethyst Filled with Grudges that I had gotten from a dungeon where I had paused to awaken Seo Gayeon's starlight magic.

Amethyst Filled with Grudges (B+)

An amethyst formed by collecting evil spirits filled with grudges.

Very valuable in magic studies.

: If made into an accessory, it adjusts the wearer's additional magic power.

: If made into a weapon, it places curses upon hitting an enemy.

: If made into armor, it places curses upon hitting the wearer.

: If eaten, decreases spirit by -3, increases magic power by +5.

One by one, I put them in order and looked at the essence of Dwoeokshini.

A jewel that would give incredible effects even if eaten raw.

However, eating it raw won't help me.

Because I'm awakening a new talent. 'Calm'.

This power, located between shadow and darkness, is extremely useful, but a power against it flows in my body.

So, this effect is as useless as a rooster's feather. The best approach is to remove this effect itself.

There are plenty of ways.

That way is to change it into a different potion using alchemy.

It's crazy to make another S-class potion by adding S-class potions and precious ingredients, but I had to do this crazy act.

Luckily, the purity of the essence is high, which is a relief.

This lowers the failure rate when making the potion.

First, I added the most negatively powerful one, the Amethyst Filled with Grudges.

The Amethyst Filled with Grudges is hard to use right away.

The negative power is very harmful if consumed directly.

So it's usually used after making the poison harmless.

However, doing so drops the +5 magic power to +3.

But even so, the spirit is an important attribute, so it's more beneficial to consume after making it harmless.

"That's a way only beginners use."

Experts use it differently.

I added toxic substances to the Amethyst Filled with Grudges.

[You aim to boost the poison?]

At Heavenly Demon's words, I nodded.

Boost the poison.

The Amethyst Filled with Grudges turned a deep black color.

Amethyst Filled with Hate and Evil (A-)

An amethyst packed with hateful spirits.

Mixed with evil and poison.

: Upon consumption, Spirit -5, Magic +8 increase.

: Upon consumption, high risk of Mental Contamination (C) status.

I looked at the amethyst glowing in black.

I am quite pleased. It's done well.

I took out the Horn of Verdure and the essence of Dwoeokshini.

From here, I must focus.

I activated the Divine Vision.

Dull thud.

As the sound of something turning on in my mind was heard, the color of the world started to change.

I put the Horn of Verdure and the Amethyst Filled with Hate and Evil together.

Roaaaaaaar!

With a burst of light, the two powers started to push each other away.

The Horn of Verdure contained the power of lightning that destroys evil, and the amethyst was packed with hate and evil.

When you put ingredients with completely opposite properties like this, they resist and try to eat each other.

And at that moment, they push each other to the limit.

I quickly added the essence of Dwoeokshini.

The essence of the monster that once gained divinity started to eat the two opposing forces at an astonishing speed.

But the opposing forces were not to be taken lightly.

Ingredients at a level just below Dwoeokshini's essence resist to the extreme, beyond the control of Dwoeokshini's essence.

Once you reach this point, the properties of the ingredients start to 'twist.'

What I have to do starts now.

'It should go as planned.'

I carefully took out 'that', known as the Spirit Note and began to wrap it around them.

The Spirit Note starts to reject everything.

The energies of the three ingredients began to push back against the Spirit Note,

In the original, this process would have been replaced with a simple mini-game of delicately controlling with magic power.

But this is reality.

'I don't have magic, but I do have the Spirit Note.'

Instead of mixing the three ingredients with magic power, I use the power of the Spirit Note to control the other powers and force them to blend.

This is my first time doing this, but I trusted the power of my skill and conceptual stat.

Whoooooooooo!

All energies rebelled.

Twisting, unwinding, pushing away, pulling, swallowing.

Pushed away with the Spirit Note, split other energies, and grabbed them.

This kept repeating.

After an hour.

Inside the glass bottle, a golden liquid was seen.

...Appraisal.

Heavenly Elixir (S+)

A genius of alchemy with excellent insight and skill created it with priceless ingredients.

: Upon consumption, Talent, Calm (A) blooms.

: Upon consumption, the Conceptual Stat of Spirit Against Heaven increases.

: Upon consumption, the Conceptual Stat of Spirit Against Heaven improves.

: Upon consumption, mental strength improves.

: Upon consumption, physical potential blooms.

: Upon consumption, physical ability improves.

[You have created a potion that can be recorded in history!]

[You have achieved the best results of any potion you've made so far! An unbelievable accomplishment! A total of 30,000p will be awarded!]

"......"

After confirming the results through my emotions, I was speechless.

"It has been completely optimized for me."

It seems that my control of the Conceptual Stat Spirit Against Heaven had a major influence on it.

I thought about the talent, Calm (A).

It's a talent that helps maintain peace in any situation.

However, what's slightly different is that it reduces the burden of abilities to some extent.

I took a sip of the potion.

As soon as the golden liquid went down my throat, something strange happened.

The Conceptual Stat Spirit Against Heaven floating inside my body merged with it, filling every corner of my body.

The Black Divine Martial Art is a way to control the body.

Although it has only been less than 2 months since I learned that method, the Black Divine Martial Art had found its place in my body.

The golden liquid revitalized my body. It became even stronger. Could it be due to the effect of awakening the potential of the body?

I slowly adjusted my body.

The sense of the body given by the potion was new. It felt like I was reborn.

[How is it?]

'It's beyond imagination.'

Really, it's beyond imagination.

I squeezed and opened my hand once. I could feel a grip strength that was on a completely different level from before.

Status window.

[Name: Lee Seoha]

Strength: 20, Agility: 25(+3)

Stamina: 22, Talent: 15, Conceptual Stat Spirit Against Heaven: 20

Talents

-Calm(A), Unfathomable Talent(A-) Nimble Hands(B+)

Skills

-Black Divine Martial Art(?), Divine Vision(S), Alten's Vision Alchemy(B), Icarus's Advanced Spirit Control(C), Shadow Serpent(C), Black Flash Swordsmanship(D)

Physique

-Body Against Heaven(S-)

Both my Strength and Agility had doubled, and my Stamina had increased a bit.

However, I was looking at the Conceptual Stat.

Spirit Against Heaven.

It has more than doubled from before.

Conceptual Stats are particularly hard to master.

The reason is that it handles the concept itself.

'......With this much.'

I can do a lot.

I can learn something new in Black Divine Martial Art, Black Abyss, and I can also master Black Wings.

[It's ridiculous. Just a potion managed to boost the power of Spirit Against Heaven......]

The Heavenly Demon's face was shocked.

I adjusted my body and controlled the Spirit Against Heaven.

The potion also has the improvement of Spirit Against Heaven written on it. I want to know how it was improved......

'For now, I guess I'll have to stick around in the training ground.'

I had to get used to this power as soon as possible.

I wanted to go to the training ground and control this power.

"Oh."

As I was changing my clothes to go to the training ground, I noticed.

My body had changed in an artistic way.

I used to have a six-pack before, but now, how can I say it?

My body itself had transformed into its most ideal shape.

It was a physique that is hard to find even on internet media.

Slim but not a single fat, and muscles had their place in a clear form.

I quickly changed my clothes and headed to the training ground.

Many students were already at the training ground, taking their places and working out.

I didn't see Hong Yuhwa, and I didn't see Kim Seohyun either.

'The ones I wanted to show off to the most were those two.'

It seems that the chance to control Hong Yuhwa's energy will be pushed to the next opportunity.

Instead, I saw Kim Ara.

Kim Ara awakened the strength of a Giant's race and got the Origin Power.

Because of her uniqueness, she was the one who only trained at the training ground that I introduced, but it seems like she's training here today.

"Are you done here?"

"Uh, uh. Yes, I'm done. You can use it."

I nudged a student who was playing with his phone nearby and started the bench press.

That weight was a whopping 250kg.

And yet, it didn't tire my body.

I bumped it up to 300kg.

Only then did my body start to feel the effort.

'Sigh...'

I was smitten with myself.

The old Lee Seoha doesn't exist anymore. Only the one with a buffed body remains.

When I looked at Kim Ara with appreciative eyes, I saw her bench pressing 5 tons.

"......"

Kim Ara is from the Giant clan.

Literally at a level of 'uprooting' mountains and tossing them.

Maybe I'm among the strongest in the human realm.

Just as I was thinking that, I saw Park Woonhyuk and Saint bench pressing 500kg and 800kg, respectively.

...I wish all these talented freaks would just vanish.

enjoy! :)

ONLY THE ONE WITH A BUFFED BODY REMAINS
