Kapitel 18: Ch-18 Chrysanta
Half an hour later, Ryan slowly closed the potion manual in his hand.
This manual contained detailed records of various potion formulas and the testing process involved in creating new ones.
Alchemy was a highly complicated skill, even for potion masters with decades of experience.
Success was never guaranteed, especially when attempting to create new potions.
According to the records, the witch had spent three years developing the perfect wolfsbane potion.
She tested it on hundreds of ordinary people and failed countless times before finally succeeding.
The manual also served as a diary, documenting the life of this witch named Chrysanta.
Born in a village called Star, Chrysanta's mother was a prostitute. Due to a lack of precautions, she became pregnant.
Her childhood was a nightmare of abuse and neglect, with her mother attempting to drown her several times.
Chrysanta escaped her mother's cruelty only after she awakened her magical abilities.
However, in certain kingdoms of the Southern Continent, witches who practiced magic were considered diabolical harbingers of plague and disaster. They were mercilessly hunted down and executed.
Forced to flee for decades, Chrysanta encountered many allies and enemies as she was relentlessly pursued. Eventually, she became a skilled potion master.
During one of these hunts, Chrysanta's lover was killed by the kingdom's knights. This loss fueled her desire for revenge, leading her to seek refuge in the forest and begin crafting a potion to destroy the kingdom - the Wolfsbane Potion.
When fully developed, the potion could not only turn people into werewolves, but also infect them with a deadly toxin.
Anyone scratched or bitten by these werewolves would be transformed into mindless beasts, spreading destruction.
However, Chrysanta's plans were cut short. She was killed before she could take her revenge, ironically by the person who now held her manual - Ryan.
The manual confirmed Ryan's earlier suspicions.
The village chief was merely a puppet controlled by Chrysanta and the werewolves' supposed weakness to fire was a lie fabricated to lull the villagers into complacency.
Her ultimate plan was to turn the entire village into werewolves as part of her revenge.
But one detail caught Ryan off guard - Little Red Riding Hood's true identity.
She wasn't related to Chrysanta, but was the daughter of Baron Osvid, who had been killed by werewolves three years earlier.
Her real name was Britney, and she was known throughout the kingdom for her beauty and grace.
Before Britney reached adulthood, suitors from noble families-including heirs to earldoms-flocked to win her hand. But Baron Osvid had rejected them all.
Chrysanta had kept Britney alive with the intention of using her as a pawn to infiltrate the upper echelons of society and assassinate the king.
To achieve her goal, Chrysanta used a variety of magic potions to transform Britney's body on a daily basis.
These potions included those that improved flexibility, agility and explosive power, those that increased the body's water content, and those that made the body more sensitive and taut.
Chrysantawent to great lengths to train Britney to become a beauty specifically for the pleasure of men, one that no man could resist.
Her goal was to allow Britney to get close to the king by her own means. In the extravagant and promiscuous upper aristocracy, a noblewoman's skills in bed could conquer all men.
Once her reputation spread to the upper echelons of society, she would become a pearl sought after by all.
With the king's character, he would never pass up the opportunity to have an intimate relationship with such a first-class beauty.
In all dynasties, it was common for the monarchs of the kingdom to have relationships with the beautiful wives of their subjects.
Chrysanta's plan was to use Britney's charm and beauty to get close to the king and influence him for her own purposes, believing that by transforming Britney's body and increasing her attractiveness, she could help her rise to the top of society and achieve her own goals.
Unfortunately for Chrysanta, her meticulous plans went awry and her life ended prematurely.
"No wonder my waist is about to break...."
Remembering Britney's extraordinary physical prowess during their earlier encounter, Ryan smiled.
Her fighting skills, especially her leg strength, surpassed anything he had ever encountered. Even his ex-girlfriend, who had spent a decade training her adductor muscles, couldn't compare.
If I had to describe it, it was like his stomach was churning, like he wanted to rip the person out by the roots.
This shows how strong his physique is in werewolf form. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to withstand it for even three seconds.
It's no wonder that she was able to withstand the werewolf's ferocious fucking during her first time.
Thinking back to their fight, Ryan realized that what he had initially thought was natural talent was actually the result of Chrysanta's potions.
"Potions are truly remarkable," he muttered, marveling at their potential.
Ryan wasted no time. He sacrificed the journal, which immediately disintegrated in a burst of light.
Moments later, countless pieces of knowledge about potions flooded his mind, not as mere information, but as fully understood expertise.
By sacrificing knowledge-based items, Ryan could not only learn, but also integrate that knowledge into his being.
Having already sacrificed the old witch herself, and now her potion manual, the two gifts combined seamlessly.
Ryan felt his potion making skills soar. He was now on par with professionals who had spent over a decade mastering the craft.
