Chapter 29: Red Bull Drink
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old rlin squeezed the crystal ball in his right hand and all at once traces of light escaped from the gaps between his fingers. The pure and clean aura gushed into Old rlin’s body at an unimaginable speed. With that surge of power, color had returned to the pale and frail face.
Everyone could clearly feel that Old rlin was recovering his mana at lightning speed. The depletion brought about by the earlier battle was quickly recovered to the full by the Strong Energy Crystal. In just a few seconds, the seemingly frail old man would beco the most powerful mage in Jarrosus.
Outside the Erald Tower, the sky was covered with layers of thick, dark clouds...
A bitter smile ca across Gerian’s face. The winner of the battle between the most powerful mages of Jarrosus was actually decided by a crystal.
Everyone was in despair, including Kevin. All was for naught in the face of a mage with a fully restored mana. Though they had plenty of people in the Erald Tower, none could help Gerian...
Old rlin’s smile spread across his face. It seed like the situation was too far gone beyond repair.
Just when everyone thought that the defeat of the Erald Tower was a foregone conclusion, Lin Li shook his head helplessly. “Looks like his brain was really damaged...”
The voice wasn’t loud, but enough for everyone around to hear. Imdiately, about four or five mages turned around; the stares they gave Lin Li were filled with rage—even Kevin’s. He was the one most familiar with Lin Li out of all others. And it was due to this that he knew how much Gerian valued Lin Li, and how much pressure Gerian had endured when those privileges were given to Lin Li.
Never had he expected Lin Li to say such a thing when Gerian was at the most dangerous of tis.
Kevin’s face turned unusually surly as he looked at Lin Li with rage and contempt in his eyes. “Mage Felic, you really disappoint ...”
“Why are you all looking at like that...? Also, Kevin, if you’re to be disappointed, you should be disappointed in that old fellow.” Lin Li shook his head resignedly and slowly pulled out a sky-blue bottle from his pockets. “If his brain wasn’t damaged, he would have asked for help long ago. Does he really think that he could take the whole Jarrosus City being an archmage...”
Under the deepening eventide, the sky-blue bottle flared an even dazzling glow than the Strong Energy Crystal.
It was likewise gorgeous yet blurry, emitting the sa pure magical aura.
When the beam of halo penetrated from Lin Li’s hands, the few people who were glaring at Lin Li were dumbfounded almost at the sa ti.
Kevin blushed, then showed a look of surprise on his face. As for the mages behind him, all of them let out cheers!
The cheering alard everyone, including Old rlin and Cromwell. All kinds of looks were shot in their direction—looks of doubt, surprise, and suspicion.
And then they saw Lin Li erge from the crowd.
“Looks like you’re really getting on age, even your brain’s stopped working...” Lin Li whispered quietly. Under Gerian’s astounded stare, he stuffed the sky-blue glass bottle into his hand.
“This is...” Gerian was slightly confounded, but very soon sensed mana tumbling in the glass bottle. It was pure and clean, just like the Strong Energy Crystal in Old rlin’s hands.
“This is similar to the Strong Energy Crystal. I rember it was called the Awakening Potion or sothing,” Lin Li added softly, “but I prefer to call it the Red Bull drink.”
“...”
Who had the ti to study the Red Bull drink with him at this critical ti? Before Lin Li’s voice faded, Gerian had already removed the bottle cap and poured the Awakening Potion into his mouth. He took in the pure mana contained in it while savoring the sweet yet sour aftertaste in his mouth.
As soon as he gulped down the Awakening Potion, Gerian knew what the outco would be.
The speed of mana recovery brought on by the Awakening Potion far exceeded that of the Strong Energy Crystal Old rlin held in his hands. Almost instantly, the exhausted mana was restored to its peak.
Feeling the magical wave coming from Gerian, another cheer broke out from the crowd outside the Erald Tower.
This was the miracle of a pharmacist!
Everyone’s heart was filled with the joy of having survived a disaster. If it hadn’t been for the bottle of Awakening Potion, there would probably not be any Guild of Magic in Jarrosus in the future. The ups and downs of life were indeed exhilarating. The mages who were clutching their hearts a mont ago could now await the chance for victory.
They had even outlined a scene in their minds—Gerian taking on Old rlin again after recovering his mana. When both sides exhausted their powers once again, the crowd at the Erald Tower would rush forth and knock Old rlin out completely. Of course, other than President Gerian and Mage Felic, the most glorious position must be left for oneself...
Unfortunately, Lin Li did not give them any chance at all. The mages, imrsed in their imagination, soon saw Lin Li’s hand reaching into his pocket again. This ti, what he took out was yet another sky-blue glass bottle, likewise with the dazzling halo and the pure magical aura.
“Let give you another bottle on account of how excitingly you fought...”
“...”
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the crowd outside the Erald Tower collapsed.
Particularly Old rlin, who felt a throbbing pain in the heart as he held onto the Strong Energy Crystal...
The Strong Energy Crystal was hard to co by. Even with the power and wealth of the rlin Family, only one had been found for so many years. But when it ca to the Guild of Magic, just look at what this young mage Felic had done...
It was enough to stuff the Awakening Potion which was no less precious than the Strong Energy Crystal into the hands of Gerian. But Gerian had just finished a bottle, and he imdiately stuffed him another one based “on account of how excitingly you fought”... The most precious Awakening Potion, when it ca out of his mouth, was like a carrot that was being stuffed into his hands...
Old rlin wanted to ask if there was any justice left in this world...
Everything was over...
Feeling the powerful aura coming from Gerian, Old rlin let out a slight sigh and released his grip on the Strong Energy Crystal. All was aningless. Even if he could absorb as much mana as he could from the Strong Energy Crystal, he would be almost on par with Gerian at his peak.
To Old rlin, that ant defeat.
