Alex went through the many forests, finding the necessary ingredients. Most of the ingredients he searched for were only Saint or True rank ingredients, so finding them was no issue at all.
Most of the Immortal participants, which were clearly the majority in the competition, had only gone for the Immortal ingredients and occasionally the Saint ingredients.
So, Alex had more luck finding these ones.
By the time he returned again, it was way past noon, and the sun was beginning to hide behind the tall buildings of the city, casting its dark shadow over everyone.
Alex pulled out Memory and placed it before him and began making a pill right there.
That was nothing new for the people that were lined up at this point in time. Unusual, yes, but not new. Others had done the same to make some pills earlier and had made their way into the city because of that.
