67 {Elixir of Arcane Resonance}

[3rd Person POV: Eden]

Deep within Kraken's domain,

"KEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!",

A chilling screech reverberated throughout the dungeon.

Amidst this eerie soundscape, a young man stood, his entire being drenched in blue blood, holding a spear in his hands.

His piercing blue eyes gleamed from behind an elegant mask, and his slightly disheveled hair added to his mysterious appearance as he relentlessly killed the monsters surrounding him.

After cleaning up the monsters around him, he got in pursuit of a creature that had attempted to escape after witnessing him slay several of its kind.

He chased after the fleeing monster, his hand extended, conjuring something sharp.

"Water Slash," Eden muttered as he sprinted toward the fleeing creature. In an instant, the blade of water sliced through the monster, cleaving it in half.

"Hah."

Breathing slowly, he took a brief pause to inspect the lifeless body of the fallen monstor as he leaned on his spear.

This creature had dark, hair-like appendages all over its body and had the appearance of a spider in some respects.

"I need a long bath after this",

He mumbled as he gazed up, his once-blue eyes now looking even more intimidating against the backdrop of his blood-splattered appearance. Droplets of blood fall from his body, drenching the ground below.

Months went by after he discovered Kraken's domain. Eden was using the battles with the monsters to control and familiarize himself with his own new body and powers, so in a real-life and death battle with more intelligent creature's like humans, he had full control over himself.

Sometimes he would also experiment with his abilities, learning new ways of killing, and it was working, as now he could fight for a longer time and with a horde without much problem, unlike the first time he arrived at the dungeon.

Eden channeled a bit of his Aura into his legs as he started running forward.

This 34th floor was a dense dead forest with tall trees that nestled the spider-like monsters surrounding him and black water all over the place with little land to run on.

As he kept running forward, many spider-like monsters would jump over the trees to fight him.

But despite having a number of advantages over Eden, no single monster could even make him use his Aura Arts let alone injure him.

*Slash*

Eden carefully slashed around the weak points he could now see on the bodies of these spider monsters after fighting a couple of them.

*Thud* *Thud*

Bodies of screeching monsters kept falling to the ground as Eden slashed their hind legs and then severed their heads, taking their lives.

[Eden, the experience points needed for the Elixir are completed.]

After Edda's words, Eden stopped.

"It seems that the boss is not needed anymore," Eden muttered as he looked towards the end of the 34th floor and the staircase for the next floor.

Although he wanted to kill the boss monster of the 35th floor, he had his priorities straight; he wanted that Elixir for months, and that thing was in his grasp, so he didn't want to wait any longer.

Eden turned back and decided to leave for the 33rd floor, which was the safest place in the dungeon.

He went through the staircase and arrived on the 33rd floor, where the whole place was empty.

But his appearance made him a bit uncomfortable, so he just threw his blood-soaked clothes and his mask into the inventory and sat down on the ground, butt-naked.

"Edda, buy the {Elixir of Arcane Resonance}",

Eden said it out loud as he waited for her response.

Though he was feeling a bit uncomfortable about losing 100,000 experience points, he was more excited about the Elixir.

[The {Elixir of Arcane Resonance} has been placed in your inventory.]

Edda replied, and as she did, Eden took out a bottle of glass from the system inventory.

========================

One Weapon Rule Breaker: The Elixir of Arcane Resonance breaks the world's known "one weapon rule." After its consumption, the user can wield multiple weapons simultaneously.

========================

"It was worth every single XP",

Eden mumbled to himself as he tightened the grip on the Elixir bottle, afraid to break it.

From the very first time he looked at it, he knew it would help him quite a lot, and he was right about it.

"Edda, I have a questions",

After suppressing his excitement, he said it out loud.

[Ask away]

"Will it affect my growth after I consume it".

Eden asked the question he was most worried about: his height.

He is currently 5'5", and even though he is taller than most of the people around his age, he is not satisfied with it.

He wanted to at least have the height that he had in his previous life—the height with which he was most comfortable fighting.

Due to the increased gravitational force of this world because it's much larger than earth, the average height of the individual living here is very low compared to his previous life, as the average height in humans is around 5'3" in females and 5'7" in males. Beings above 6 foot are hard to come by.

[No, the Elixir will not hinder your growth in any way; it will only change your body structure to make it the most ideal body.]

"Anything else I should be concerned about?",

As he prepared to uncork the bottle,Eden inquired.

[It will hurt a lot]

Edda replied, briefing him about the upcoming pain.

"I figured that out.",

With a deep breath, Eden replied as he lifted the odorless, tasteless, light golden Elixir to his lips and, with some mental preparation, swallowed it whole.

For the first few seconds, nothing happened, but as time passed, he felt slight pain all over his body, but the pain was still bearable, and just as he lowered his guard, an unbearable amount of pain cursed through his whole body.

"ARGHHHH!" Eden's pained scream resonated throughout the vicinity as he sank to his knees.

He tried to stay awake, clenching his teeth and biting down on his lower lip till blood welled up.

"URGHHHH!" The agony, on the other hand, was unbearable.

Eden could no longer hold his mouth shut and started vomiting black blood.

It oozed out his nostrils and ears as well as his mouth.

*Thud*

Eden gradually began to lose consciousness. He collapsed with a hard thud, his body unable to withstand the excruciating pain.

Eden's body underwent a strange metamorphosis while he was unconscious. It started to exude a strange black liquid from every pore on his body.

"Creak... creak..."

His bones audibly cracked, only to realign themselves in a way that strengthened them even more.

His entire body seemed to twist and contort in uncomfortably unpleasant ways, only to reset itself in a never-ending cycle, while leaking the black goo-like substance.

His skin burst open, yet amazingly healed without a scratch. His hair fell out and then quickly came back.

His slow, steady breathing was the only evidence of life as this unexplained transformation that lasted for hours.

"Arghh!"

After hours had passed, Eden slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he noticed was the black goo covering his entire body.

"How much time has passed, Edda?"

Eden inquired as he struggled to move.

[10 hours.]

"I need a bath,"

Eden muttered as he became aware of a weird odor that results from his body. He took out a two-meter-long magic circle disc and placed it on a clean area.

He stood in the center, surrounded by mana stones, and channeled a small bit of his mana, triggering the teleportation. He resurfaced in his room with a minor distortion in space.

He walked to the bathroom, filled the bathtub, and began to wash the residue from his body away.

His head throbbed, and he couldn't concentrate on observing the changes in his body just now.

It felt like a dozen hammers were slamming inside his head.

"Show me my stats, Edda," Eden whispered as he slipped into the tub. His concentration was fading, and his eyes were heavy.

His brain was on the verge of shutting down, and he fell asleep before he could check his status.
