"Why are you so sure that we cannot heal her through normal ans?" Arthur was not sure how Asher knew about her illness.
"She is suffering from mana poisoning," Asher told them.
"But how? She hasn't even gone through her awakening yet," Sylvie spoke this ti.
Nathan was quiet the whole ti. He was observing Asher as, sohow, his grandson seed a bit different from what he rembered last ti.
"It's due to her bloodline. I already sensed it because of my bloodline ability," Asher spoke without showing any emotions.
"She was subconsciously absorbing the mana, but rather than forming a mana core, it's corroding her body. The only reason I could sense it was because my current rank is low and my mana-controlling bloodline can sense such small disturbances around ," Asher told them.
Arthur could now accept the reason for why Asher knew about Livia's illness. The Greville family mainly had mana-related bloodlines, one of the most coveted bloodlines in the world. But when a person was born with a strong bloodline, they may suffer from such implications. Usually, this problem could have been sensed early if Livia had been living with the Grevilles from a very young age. But the circumstances made it inevitable.
"Hmmm, it seems like the only explanation for her illness," Nathan finally spoke after carefully assessing Livia's body with his mana sense.
"Her mana veins are utterly damaged, and if we don't use the elixir on her, she will beco a crippled person," he gave his judgent on the matter.
"Then we should use the elixir on her. It was due to Ivar's contribution that we even got it, and his daughter deserves at least this much from us," Sylvie spoke instantly while still patting her lovingly.
Others in the room also nodded their heads, listening to her, and easily agreed. They would have used it on her even if it was not Ivar's contribution that got them this elixir. Although there were only four more such elixirs in the world, three were under the World Association, and one belonged to the Mage Association.
Rank SSS items or artifacts could only be achieved as a first clear reward for clearing Rank SSS dungeons, which were not so many in this world. And sotis the World Association would take custody of them because of their higher contribution during the raid.
"Arthur, open the family vault," Nathan ordered Arthur.
"Sure," Arthur left them and arrived in his study room and opened a hidden room using his mana. He arrived in a room which had a small teleportation gate. This was the teleportation gate that was connected to the Greville Family's hidden family vault, which consisted of their treasures.
The only one who knew the coordinates of this hidden facility was Nathan Greville. The treasures hidden here were so of the most powerful ones, and so of them were even hidden from the knowledge of others.
The room seed like an enclosed building with no visible entrance. The only way out was most likely the teleportation gate used by Arthur. He arrived in front of a vault that was 5 ters huge and was encrypted with a blood seal rune. He took a dagger out of his space storage and dripped a few drops of blood on it.
Multiple parts of the vault started moving, making chanical sounds. The door revealed an opening which Arthur got in through. Imdiately, many high-graded treasures could be seen enclosed under rigid glass fras. Although it looked like you could break these glasses with normal attacks, they were also strengthened with mana.
He arrived at a corner and saw a small golden vial. This was the [Rank SSS- Pure Healing Elixir]. He took it out and left the vault area, returning to his study room. When he ca back, he saw Nathan and Sylvie chatting with the twins, who were getting more comfortable with them.
Asher saw his father coming down with a golden vial in his hand. He saw his chance and spoke, "Dad, can I see the elixir for a minute?" he asked Arthur.
"Sure, take it," Arthur passed the elixir to him.
'System, can you create a copy of this item without alerting others in the room?' Asher spoke in his mind.
[Yes, but the created copy will be stored inside the system's dinsion storage if the host doesn't want to alert others]
'Can I access it anyti?' He asked in his mind.
[Yes, but you need to unlock the shop function fully, which will be unlocked when the host reaches Level 10 and gather atleast 10000 Fate points.]
'Okay, do it,' Asher gave his confirmation.
A bluish-green light enveloped the elixir for a mont while going unnoticed by everyone in the room. ping
"Here you can have it," Asher passed it back to Arthur.
Arthur took the vial and passed it to Livia, who was staring at the pretty bottle. Lucas was already thinking about the enormous worth of that small vial. He knew about item ranks and how expensive they were, but he didn't know what the worth of this small item would be. He was already thinking of ways to repay the Greville family for this.
Lucas was a cruel and clever man, but if his family was involved, he would beco the most docile and kind person you could think of. He was already seeing the Grevilles as his family.
"Don't worry, drink it and you'll be fine," Sylvie told Livia while assuring her.
"But is it fine for to use it?" Livia knew that whatever this small thing was, she and her brother could never afford it in their lives.
"Don't worry about such things from now on, you're a part of our Greville family and carry this na with pride from now on," Nathan spoke to Livia to assure her.
She took the vial in her hand and Sylvie opened it for her. She drank it imdiately; the taste of this elixir was like sweet nectar, which cald her thoughts down. So blue mana started forming around Livia and entered her body. Her body slumped into Sylvie's hands.
"Don't worry, she'll wake up tomorrow," Sylvie cald Lucas, who panicked seeing her unconscious.
"Mom, I'm going back to my room and probably won't join dinner, so carry on without ," Asher spoke.
"Where are you going, brat? I heard you beat my record during your awakening," Nathan stopped him from going. He still sensed sothing was wrong with Asher, so he decided to have a talk with him.
"Yes, I did, but I'm quite busy right now. We can speak later," Asher ignored him and kept moving to his room.
"And you said this brat of yours was missing ?" Nathan spoke while veins were popping in his forehead. But he couldn't do anything to Asher because Sylvie was sitting right there.
"He's just tired, let him rest, old man!" Arthur just shrugged Nathan.
"This damn brat, follow to the training grounds," Nathan dragged Arthur with him.
Sylvie took Livia to her room and sat there with Lucas to listen to his story. He narrated his deeds without omitting anything. Sylvie just stared at him and hugged him. Lucas found the warmth of Sylvie comforting. This made him rember his mother, and tears started dripping down his eyes.
The night went by peacefully, and Asher left early for his training. He ca out in the evening and saw that Livia was now awake and her face was not pale anymore. The Rank SSS elixir didn't have any side effects, as normal potions and healing elixirs were deadly to unawakened people. Direct consumption of mana was deadly to normal humans. That's why Asher said only the Rank SSS elixir could heal Livia, as any other healing elixir would not help her at all.
Although her body was still weak, her mana veins had been healed and she could now awaken normally like others. Asher ca into the room, drenched in sweat but still looking incredibly handso. So of the maids even gulped upon seeing him. His charm was deadly to the opposite gender, but he didn't care about how others viewed him.
"Asher, Alia is coming back in a few days. Make sure to clear your schedule on the day her plane lands," Arthur told him, and Asher just nodded.
But before he could go back to his room, Nathan appeared in front of him suddenly and looked at his eyes.
'Why does his presence keep tingling my instincts?' He thought to himself.
"My dear grandson, why don't you co train with ?" Nathan asked him.
"Not now, but if you agree to train for 2 weeks straight after my party, I might change my mind," Asher said as he kept moving past him.
"But, I need to go back to work," Nathan tried to persuade him.
"That's a sha. Can't be helped then," Asher shrugged indifferently.
Nathan sighed, seeing his grandson's behavior. He was worried about Asher and, knowing his personality, he was concerned that things could go wrong in the future given his overwhelming talent during his awakening.
"Why don't you take so rest and train him as well?" Sylvie tried to intervene between the two.
Arthur, still sore from his beating the previous day, was already planning his revenge. He wouldn't interfere between them, but he tried to provoke Nathan by saying, "Don't worry Asher, I can train you better than his old bones and his senile mind." He ignored Nathan's obvious reaction.
"No need. Fine, I'll train him for 2 weeks," Nathan couldn't help but accept Asher's proposal.
