Bab 16: Tenfold benefits of body-strengthening Elixir!
Chapter 16
He had to plan for his next steps and search for other treasures and opportunities for her if possible.
Taking her hand in his hand, he put the elixir carefully and quickly left the scene.
Nadia, who saw all this could not help but tremble a little after he left…
She was shocked at herself… she actually let someone hold her hand?
She, who would never let anyone be in 2 meter radius around her actually allowed this?
No, more importantly, she realized that she was not on guard at all…
She had always been trained to remain on her guard at all times, even against her own family, every second of the day…
But now she did not even realize when he took her hand and put the elixir on it…
"How can I be so careless?"
She mumbled to herself as she stared at the elixir in her hand. She could still feel the warmth of his hand.
Unexpectedly, she did not hate this…
As she returned to her courtyard, she once again looked at the bluish glowing elixir and paused.
Should she have someone verify it for poison?
But when she thought of his face, she expelled the idea.
For some reason, she did not think that he would try to poison her.
"Have I gone crazy?"
Was it due to their connection as twins that she felt this way?
"What am I doing?"
She touched her head, her eyes slowly widening.
"Why am I behaving like this? It's normal that I get it tested for poison so just why…? Just why am I hesitant?"
She clutched her short hair in frustration, she had always been rational and always took the best decisions in every situation yet now she was acting so stupidly.
A moment ago, she was thinking that he was foolish and now she was being even stupider than him.
It frustrated her, never in her life had she felt frustrated over something yet she was like this now.
It was all because of him!
'No… He surely can't poison me… He should be aware of the consequences of it… I am the best weapon the clan could polish, if something happened then he would too… he must know this, right?'
Nadia thought of many reasons that this elixir was not poisoned by him, connecting her assumptions.
But some part of her mind knew that she was just making up things to satisfy herself that she did not needed to get this tested for poison.
After minutes of self contemplation, she made up her mind.
"If this thing really carries a poison, then so be it. I will test myself through this, if I am weak, I will die and if not then I will survive. It will be my fault that I took this so it does not matter."
Pop!
She opened the lid of the tube and a rich and strong aroma spread in her courtyard.
'This elixir seems to have been preserved for a long time, this rich smell and thickness… it is definitely not the same as the ones that are made now.'
She quickly analyzed the elixir, it was said that the more aged an elixir was, the more potent its effects become.
And the one in her hands right now was very ancient, she could tell from the smell alone.
Her amethyst eyes shone in a strange light as she looked at the elixir for a moment.
It was as if she could see everything in the elixir at the moment. She was currently using the [Abyss Eyes] that she had awakened some time ago to see through the elixir.
'I still lack proper mastery… I should have been able to tell if it carried poison or not just by a look… I will train harder from now on…'
Oliver could not have expected that just a simple action of him giving her a potion could help her steel her resolve even further. It seemed to fuel her more.
Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.
She drank the elixir in one ago and quickly circulated the espera in her body to ready herself for the effect.
Boom!

[Ding! Permanent 10x increase in Physical Strength!]
Oliver paused, suddenly feeling a warm current flowing throughout his body, reaching every part of him.
He sensed a strong surge of vitality and energy coursing through his veins.
Every cell in his body felt recharged, brimming with energy.
Crack!
As he stretched, he heard the sound of his bones popping, as if they were adjusting to become more compact and stronger.
Clasping his fists, he felt the growing strength, making him believe he could punch through metal.
'Status.'
He muttered, having tried earlier without success to see a panel. Nevertheless, he attempted once more, curious to see if his increased strength would reveal his status.
He had experimented countless times before with the system, hoping for a full body analysis, but usually to no avail.
Trying again, he wondered if there was a required trigger or if such a feature did not exist at all.
Deciding to give it one final attempt…
And he guessed correctly as a black panel suddenly opened before his eyes.
[Name: Oliver Mystic]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: Level 3]
[Espera: Level 1]
[Charisma: Level 3]
[Luck: Level 2]
A general overview of his body's status appeared before him.
Carefully observing the attributes, he had no clue what determined these levels.
He wondered what the maximum limit for these levels could be and was greatly shocked by his strength.
Even after obtaining [Cosmic Void Gaze] and increasing his strength tenfold, he was still evaluated as only level 3?
Then how strong would level 10 be if he already felt capable of punching through metal?
'Damn, this feels both motivating and depressing at the same time.'
Shaking his head, he only needed to wait for Nadia to quickly raise her strength, and he would naturally reap benefits.
"But still… my esper talent is so pathetic."
He couldn't help but feel speechless; it was quite shocking that someone born from the genes of Ophelia and the clan patriarch could be so weak!
"More importantly, I need to deal with them…"
