Undying Warlord

'I knew it!'

From the moment Yvonne saw her sister's odd behavior after returning from wherever she had run to, she knew that something was going on.

She had been seen running through their base a few times, and Kathrine looked extremely disappointed when she didn't find who she had been searching for.

It was obvious that she had been searching for Dilan because the parchment was unlikely to be Kathrine's reason to suddenly get sad.

Dilan was the only person who could make Kathrine sad or elated all of a sudden, seemingly without reason.

That was why Yvonne wanted to get her hands on the parchment her sister was tightly clutching in her hand.

"Yvonne, stop!" Kathrine shouted, turning her body to prevent Yvonne from getting hold of the parchment.

However, Yvonne was not someone to back away just because she was asked to, even less if her sister was hiding something from her.

'She wants Dilan to see it first, so it has to be something amazing!'

The corners of Yvonne's lips curled upward at the thought of getting her hands on the treasure Kathrine held. When Kathrine would not let go of the parchment easily, Yvonne increased her Agility and flapped her wings to further accelerate as she reached out with both of her hands.

One of her hands grasped Kathrine's shoulder to prevent her from running, while her other hand reached for the parchment.

'I won't surrender to you!' Kathrine shouted inwardly, her free hand turning flat as she pushed her sister sideways with it. This made Yvonne's hand holding her sister's shoulder lose its grip.

Moments later, the two girls entered a small brawl to decide who would get their hands on the parchment.

The commotion attracted lots of attention, even more so because everyone knew that the sisters were not fighting seriously.

They loved each other and were merely playing around. Or that was what it looked like in the beginning.

The fun brawl quickly got intense and soon they had to start paying attention so as to not accidentally involve others in it.

With their high stats, an incident could happen quickly.

It was quite common for others to get dragged into the fight of powerful Ascenders. This had happened quite often in actual fights against monsters when Ascenders used their abilities to injure their opponents but somehow ended up attacking their own comrades accidentally.

Real life was not like in games, where 'friendly fire' could be turned off, after all.

Over five minutes passed, and both sisters were now breathing heavily.

However, in the end, it was Yvonne, who had managed to wring out the parchment from her sister's hands.

She had higher stats than her sister, and the Wings of the Fallen Angel came in handy in the brawl as well.

That was why she won the fight and now held the parchment in her hands.

"Potion of Enhancement 'Swiftness'? That is what you've been hiding from me?" Yvonne asked in confusion.

She was slightly disappointed to read the title of the parchment because she had expected to see something grand.

But her opinion quickly changed and Yvonne's expression turned serious the more she read through the parchment's content.

[[Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>] Bronze Tier-1 Recipe

Description: The Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness> is a potion created out of the compressed Essence of high-quality Essence crystals. It permanently increases the Agility stat by 3 Units after consumption and can be used three times by a single individual. If the Potion is consumed by a being at or above Tier-2, it will have a drastically decreased effect!

Upon being comprehended, the knowledge written on the parchment will disappear, and only the Alchemist, who comprehended the potion's concoction process will remember it.

Ingredients:

1000 Ordinary Essence Crystals (Tierless)

100 Bronze Essence Crystals (Tier-1)

25 Silver Essence crystals (Tier-1)

1 Gold Essence crystal (Tier-1)

Wingbone of Tier-1 Monster

8 grams Silveria Sand

50ml Mana-infused water.

Concoction process:

First step….]]

When she had read through the entire content written in the parchment, Yvonne swallowed her saliva as she glared at her sister.

Right now, she was truly angry at Kathrine, but for a different reason than the spectators witnessing their tussle presumed.

"You little…Now that you've fallen in love, you forgot that I exist, is that it? You didn't even want to show this wonderful treasure to me?!?" Yvonne nearly screamed, while waving the parchment in front of her panting sister.

The Potion of Enhancement 'Swiftness' was a true treasure. That was the best way to label it- a treasure!

It was completely different from the Mana replenishment potion, Sarah had been concocting for quite some time, or the Stamina potion, which was a new potion, whose recipe they had found not too long ago.

The Potion of Enhancement 'Swiftness' increased the Agility stat permanently upon being taken!!

The concoction process was somewhat arduous and the ingredients cost a fortune. However, for Ascenders, who were having a hard time increasing their stats due to the high number of the same monsters habituating in Shiron and the near surrounding, it was a lifesaver.

Other than that, many Ascenders gained little to no status points from weaker and lower-leveled monsters.

And then there were cases like Dilan, who had specific conditions that decreased the amount of status points one receives from every absorbed Essence crystal.

If Dilan would get his hands on three Potions of Enhancement <Swiftness>, his Agility would increase by 9 Units.

This specific increment would require hundreds of different monsters to be killed by him. And those monsters would have to be stronger than him and of high quality at that.

Thus, the Potion was certainly a treasure, and it was actually not difficult to get their hands on each of the required ingredients, if one were to ignore the Gold Tier-1 Essence crystal and the Silveria Sand.

"Where did you get that recipe from? According to our research, the ingredients required by a recipe can be found in the Gates where they have been exchanged." Yvonne suddenly asked in a sharp voice.

She chose to ignore her anger for the moment because her heart was beating wildly.

If they could manage to mass-produce the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>, it would be possible to easily level up new Survivors.

With an Agility of 11 Units, instead of 1 at Level 0, it would be extremely easy to become full-fledged Tier-1 Ascenders by themselves.

There was no ordinary monster that could reach an Agility of 11 Units while being tierless. Even Bronze Tierless level 10 monsters would only rarely reach such high Agility.

Only Silver tierless monsters had an Agility above 11 Units.

The longer she thought about it, the more excited she felt.

"We need to get our hands on the Silveria Sand, otherwise, we won't even be able to start concocting the potion!" Yvonne said, shaking her sister, who suddenly paled.

"That…I got it from…and temporary Gate. I don't even know if it's still there…" Kathrine replied in a stutter, her expression worsening with each spoken word.

"Are you serious? Then…let's go!!" Yvonne shrieked and embraced her sister tightly before she flapped her mighty wings, and took off.

"Where was it?"
