Blood Summoner: Rise of Weaponmancer

Chapter 109 Zonad

Konad looked at his father with a lingering feeling of fear, it was as though he have seen a ghost that was aiming for his life.

His father was aiming for his success but in a way that appeared more like he was looking out to take his life.

As a lord alchemist it was expected that his son who also Major in that field would have amazing talents.

However, it was different.

The Nad family is a family of alchemist, nevertheless there was one stuff in their family line that each generation has ever tried to breakout from.

It was the occurrence that caused none of them to ever reach four star in all the alchemist realm.

The highest so far was three star and it was held by Konad grandfather who died with the title of a three star alchemist king.

Nevertheless, apart from him only the ancient has been reaching the 3rd star but none of them has ever been able to pass that rank.

Zonad started teaching Konad from a very tender age about the basic of alchemist and he grew up to become a good alchemist, reaching three star in master alchemy rank at a tender age.

With thar prowess, zonad was expecting something more when it was time to transcend to grandmaster realm.

Zonad left with an expressionless face, leaving the brat alone in the room filled with the aroma of burnt alchemist ingredients that filled the room with an unpleasant smell.

Konad sat on a stool faraway from the cauldron, brainstorming a way to stop what was happening with him a way to release the tension place on his by his father and a way to leave up to the expectation of those that called him a child genius when he was young.

Actually, he had no fear about coming out on top of the list in the contest .

Nevertheless, that stopped the moment he met Liam at the merchant guild that day.

He spoke of alchemist as though it was some backyard sport.

He even have a high cultivation realm, and seems to posses wealth and knowledge enough to make an honorable figure such as Zen to become polite.

'If it wasn't for that bastard, I would have topped the list for sure.' He thought to himself with clenched fist and gritted teeth.

Liam was someone he could not explain, how could there be someone like Liam in the kingdom and no one even the strangers on the street haven't know of his prowess.

During his time, he was genius kid, earning fame at a pretty Young age ruined him and also gave him a motivation.

A motivation that he was only going to aim for the top, no such thing as falling because if that happens his fame will become shame .

Thus he worked hard in all life endeavours, raising his fame a little everyday and gaining more fan club.

His peers gave him hateful gazes each time he was among them, that was strange but seeing the look reminded him of a saying of a dad which can be interpreted as "Someone who don't have always look up to those that have with greed and malice.

I should get rid of him, or make him summit to me even if it's by force. Konad let out in his heart as he suddenly stood up, clenching his fist tightly.

"I have trained ten years prior to this, there is no way on earth I'd let such a thing go, all the time, the effort, the investment by dad. I can't let them go to waste."

After saying that, he walked straight to the cauldron and began forging pill.

This time, his dad was not there with him so of course there was no tension.

He ended up completing the pill forging process and used the purity checking device to check how pure it was, behold it was 52% pure.

Konad eyes shone with a sharp light, getting this amount of purity was really good for a start.

He smiled and kept the hot pill inside a bottle that can resist any type of flame, as long as it is not one of the divine flames like the azure and others.

Konad repeat the process another time, this time getting a purity that was two higher than the first.

....

Scene changed, now in Liam's room, Liam has been training really hard in his alchemist skill, as of now he could brag of forging a beginner grade pill with less than ten flaws in his movement.

This was really really great, a good boost from when he started having more than forty flaws in his alchemy skills.

Right about now, the pill was shone in elevating up to his eye level.

It was no other than the pill he has been training on all this while, the beginning grade qi pill.

He used telekinesis to rotate the pill in the air, behold the aroma of the pill was released into the air having a medicinal scent that was calming.

Liam started rolled the pill really fast so that it could cool in a short span of time.

After it was cooled, he held it with his two fingers in front of his eyes feeling his first pill in his arm causing him to let go of a smile.

"My first pill with less than three flaw, let's see how pure it's. pill with 50% purity and higher are the ones that can't be consumed, the ones lower are deemed harmful but could be used as a supplement for magical beast especially tamed ones.

[Qi pill (Beginner)]

[Purity: 70%]

'70%, a really great start for me' Liam smiled and took out bottle from his inventory, and stored the pill inside.

He has more of this bottle in his inventory because he bought some from the merchant guild.

With the help of the bottles he will be able to store the pills without fears that it would lose its content, because most pills usually loss their medicinal contents after getting exposed to the air for a long time.

That's when the job of the bottle comes along, it will be able to save it for as long as there is no leakage from the bottle.

However, alchemist has to take precautions dealing with these because different kind of pills can not be stored inside the same bottle.

For example storing a yin essence pill and a yang essence pill together in one pill bottle will lead to an explosion.

There are other pills with the same nature as well.

After he was done with that, he took out ingredients for another beginner grade pill, the blood cleansing pill.

He used the same method as before, after the first trail with his own methods, the system displays all the flaw. it was only left for him to determine a way to take care of the flaw and create a balance in his head, that might be helpful in the case of next time.

But he was not an AI with advance thinking, you can't expect him to think of step by step procedures to correct all the flaws.

He placed the swallowing flesh flower inside right after placing the crimson leaf, a small explosion occurred inside the cauldron and at the same time that the explosion occur did Liam add the other one to it.

Nevertheless, after that he quickly summoned a magic sphere to protect himself from what was happening next and before one knew it that thing has always begun as the all the air space of the cauldron started popping out ember coloured smoke that could stain anything.

'This is the explained process that I should expect after this according to the system, another flaw corrected.' Liam smiled.

The process continued for another two minutes before stopping, then Liam rushed to but the other ingredients which was the blood of a ice element beast, it was stored in a small bottle and he only required a very little amount of it to get going.

'Now it's time for controlling the flame, reduce heat and increase it to a certain temperature at different instance. Thanks to my compatibility with flame granting me an innate ability to tell how hot the divine flames are, giving me a pretty good advantage in alchemy.'

Xavier shared a story of how it took him seven months to be one with the azure flame he was born with.

But Liam has myriad of them, most of them he hasn't even explored yet and he still has this amount of innate control over them, the golden flame was one of them and was sitting at number one in terms of usage and compatibility.

The two of them world apart in terms of control of flames.

If Liam had started a year earlier he might have probably reached a high rank in alchemy, getting five star will be as simple as controlling flames to him.
