Chapter 89: Crystal Pill 2
89 Crystal Pill 2
Three light blue colored pills were formed. Alex took those pill and relieved. The pills are finally done.
He looked at the dumbfounded Alicia and Firia and the lazy Sherry who is currently lying on the couch. He walked toward them,
"Wuu Wuu" Sherry greeted him "Wuu Wuu Wuu, Wuu"
Alex giggled, he perceived her intention. She seems telling him that Alicia and Firia were loud and might disturb him. He smiled and stroke Sherry. "Yes yes, My Sherry is the greatest"
"Wuu" Sherry put her paw on her...chest(?)
It was very cute watching her like this. "Oh right, This is the food"
Alex pours out his flame to her. Sherry eats the flame happily, Alex"s pure fire is nourishment for her. After He confirmed that Sherry is full, he turned to Alicia and Firia. They still not moving after this whole time.
"Oi...Oi...you two?" Alex tried to wake up the dumbfounded duo.
"Ah, Alex. You finally finished" Alicia embarra.s.sedly said, she can"t think anything other than those sloppy words. She still hadn"t fully recovered with the shocking scene she saw just now. She finally knows what Alex means in the alchemy. She never knows that Alchemy was such an arduous process, to make pills like this took too many hours. She recalled when Alex gave her pills like this or when he brought those many pills to her family. She felt a bit pained in her heart. Each pill that he gave away needed this kind of arduous process.
Contrary to her, beside her, Firia lamented her own uselessness. It seems that she still not put too much effort. If this continues, the gap between her and Alex will further and further away. At that time, she will become his burden. If it is like that, will he treat her the same? If there are women that more powerful and more beautiful than her. Will she take Alex away?
"This is the Crystal Pill. It can boost your ice element" He gave the pill to Alicia. "Why don"t you eat it? Ah, but move to the field first okay? When you eat the pill, we don"t know what will happen. It might create a scene like last time"
Alicia nodded, she clenched the pill in her hand. She walked to the field and resolutely eat the pill. When she took the pill. The pill melted on her mouth. The process was almost the same as The Quenching Fire Pill, the pill"s energy started to spread around her body.
The temperature around the field started to drop. Ice crystal started to form around her body. Alex frowned a bit, he immediately makes a s.h.i.+eld from mana to cover him, Firia and Sherry from the freezing temperature. Unlike the usual, he didn"t infuse his element to the s.h.i.+eld. He was afraid that his flame might disrupt the ice energy from Alicia. After all, his element is pure fire element. If because of his carelessness, she failed or even injured. He can"t forgive himself for that.
Alex felt the surrounding temperature was around minus twenties degree. Sherry would be fine with this but Firia won"t. Firia still in rank 3, while Sherry is rank 6. The difference was too big. With her current power, she can"t resist this cold. She might be fine if she releases her fire element. But it might disturb Alicia. So, Alex covering them with his mana was the best solution for now.
Alex continues observing Alicia. The blue-colored crystal ice formed in her surrounding become bigger and bigger. Unknowingly, the ice spread in a radius of 3 meters. After around fifteen minutes, the surrounding ice started to shrink. She will feel the pain as the ice keeps shrinking.
"Ah!" Yep, that right, She started screaming in pain. Alex already explained this kind of thing to her, so she had prepared for this pain. But even though she is prepared, she can"t help but scream when facing this kind of pain. Though the coldness, numb her sense of pain a bit. But the attack from the cold really makes her in pain, as you jump into the lake water covered with ice in the winter. You felt cold, but the most important thing, you felt the pain because of the coldness.
"This might be the same process as I took the Quenching Fire Pill" Alex looked at her worriedly, after all, who can watch his own girlfriend calmly when he looked at her in pain. But even so, he can"t do anything. If he did anything at this time, the consequences would be more severe than the pain.
The shrinking process took a full 10 minutes. Alicia didn"t feel any more pain after that. She felt comfortable with the feel of her new ice. The ice breakthrough from her body once again. The blue-colored ice becomes a cyan-colored ice. But Alex, Firia, even Sherry also felt. This ice was far stronger than the previous Ice. But when they looked at this new ice, they relieved. Because the appearance of this ice means that Alicia succeeded.
Two minutes after the ice appearance, Alicia finally opened her eyes. She felt this new power reside within her body. She felt more intimate with her element. She felt she can control the ice far better now. Though not as much as Alex. She looked toward Alex who gives her all of this. Not only to her but also to her family. Alex tirelessly made pills for them. She let out tears unconsciously.
Alex was dumbfounded when he saw the tears on Alicia"s eyes. At first, he was happy when she opened her eyes. But when the tears rolled down from her eyes, he was shocked. He immediately runs toward her and asked anxiously, "What happened? Why are you crying?"
Alicia shook her head. She raised her hands and hug him
"Alicia? What happened?" He was too shocked by Alicia"s action.
"Alex...Thank you. Really, thank you very much"
When the words out from her mouth. All the words in his stomach stuck on his throat. He slowly raised his hand and hug her back.
On the side, Firia looked at them with a smile.
"Wuu Wuu" Sherry complained in jealously. She said, "I Won"t Lose"
Firia turned to her and smiled, "Yes. We can"t lose to her"

Meanwhile, in Zircodina Kingdom. Find authorized novels in ReadNovelFull，faster updates, better experience，Please click .Com for visiting.
"Bang" The door was opened forcefully. A soldier came in, the soldier seems very rushed.
"Your Majesty, Emergency news"
Yes, this was in the palace grand hall. Sitting in the throne was the king of Zircodina Kingdom, on his left is his trusted minister, his right-hand man, the one who usually helps him with all of his work.
"What is this emergency?" The king frowned.
"We got information from our spy in Acacia Kingdom. They...they said..."
"What is it? Explain it fully" The king said with a stern voice.
"They said that Alexander Sirius who was in our top observation list. Become rank 1 in grade ranking compet.i.tion in the academy"
The king frowned, he was displeased. "I know, with his power, it was possible for him to do that. You don"t need to report this kind of news to me"
"But his score...his score is 24,972 points"
When the guard said that. The king immediately stood up, fl.u.s.tered. "What did you say. His score is...is 24,972 points?"
"Ye-yes, the report said that. He killed the forest king, a rank 6 ape. He also wiped out all of the rank 5 monsters in the forest and killed half of rank 4 monsters population, resulting in that score"
"What...what..." The king stumbled. Even the minister beside him dumbfounded.
After a moment, the minister recovered. "Your Majesty"
With the wake-up call from the minister beside him, The king recovered and immediately said, "Make my daughter immediately go to Acacia Kingdom. We will make an engagement between her and him"
"Your Majesty, How about the hero?" The minister asked him, after all, The princess, Rieze, still engaged to him.
"Why do you even care about that trash? That Archmage and That Sage had already escaped from here. Although we managed to find them. The Archmage must take asylum to the Holy Kingdom. After all, that priestess was her childhood friend. While the Sage is still missing. We won"t know what will happen sooner or later to her after the hero went mad. It is better for my daughter to get engaged with him than stay here. She will be more useful that way. Now, with his women gone, the hero only thought was revenge, he needs power to do that. We can still use him for now, if he wants power, he can level up while killing those d.a.m.ned demons. With that, our soldiers" morale would be increased."
Because of Alex"s abnormal performance, the king immediately decided for an engagement for her daughter and Alex. Acacia Kingdom also used that too, the difference is that Alicia and Alex already become a friend first before they employed this kind of technique. Make it more convenient.
"As expected of your majesty. The Wise King"
"Make sure to keep her engagement with "him" a secret"
The minister nodded "I will immediately inform her"
