Chapter 859 Solarian Sunfruit (Part 2)

??"Not much, I should be able to finish the potion in around two days," Octavius said in a voice filled with confidence.

"Wait wait wait..." Evan, who was about to start a killing spree in order to collect cores, stopped and said in a hasty voice. "What... What did you just say? Can you repeat yourself because I think I misheard you."

Octavius looked at Evan in confusion and said in the same tone of voice, "I think I should be able to finish the potion in around two days."

Crack!

Evan felt as if his dream of entering the battle of treasure with mid-level Rank Two Shadow Undeads shattered and his mind went blank.

"Are you messing with me?" Evan asked while trying his best not to beat the old man.

Octavius didn't understand why Evan was angry, so he looked at him with confusion written all over his face.

Seeing Octavius's confused face, Evan took some deep breaths to calm down and asked after a moment.

"Can't you make the potion in a few hours? I need it urgently."

"Sorry, but I can't," Octavius shook his head in denial and said in a helpless voice. "If I were in my top condition, I could have made this potion in a matter of minutes, but you have to understand that currently I don't have a physical body, and it is not easy to refine monster cores.

"Unlike us, monsters turn their world essence into conceptual energy using the inheritance knowledge that they receive from their bloodline. Because of their bloodline, all the monsters have a little bit of inheritance conceptual energy inside their core the moment they reach the beginner level rank one from the S rank," Octavius explained.

"In order to create this potion, I will have to remove all traces of their conceptual energy from their cores, which is not an easy task, so it is impossible for me to make this potion in less than two days."

Hearing Octavius's explanation, Evan's expression fell and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Evan's expression, Octavius hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still decided to speak.

"If you are in a hurry to increase the rank of your core, I can create other potions for you. They are far easier to create than the Beast Heart Draught, but unlike the Beast Heart Draught, these pills and potions will harm your body and core in some way."

This time, when Evan heard Octavius talking about harmful potions, he didn't immediately refuse and thought about it deeply.

Although he did not want to use something that would harm his body or core, he knew that if he wanted to compete for the treasure that was causing the phenomenon, he would have to increase the rank of his core.

"If you don't mind, can I ask you why you want to increase your rank?" Evan suddenly heard Octavius's voice and saw him looking at him with a careful look as if he was afraid that Evan would lash out at him for asking the question.

Evan sighed when he saw Octavius's expression and pointed towards the sky.

"Because of the phenomenon," He said while pointing at the sky. "I want to compete for the treasure that is causing this anomaly, but with my current strength, it will be impossible for me to face the monsters and the core evolvers who will be attracted by the phenomenon, so I want to increase my rank."

Octavius raised an eyebrow when he heard Evan's reason, as he didn't think Evan would be frustrated because of the treasure causing the phenomenon.

Although Evan had said many times that he was a clone and different from the shadow monarch, in Octavius's eyes, he was still the same cold-faced bastard who destroyed his physical body and trapped him.

In his memories, Evan was someone who wouldn't care about a treasure regardless of its rank, which is why he was surprised when Evan said he wanted to increase his rank so that he could compete for a treasure.

'Guess he is really different from him...' Octavius said inwardly and shook his head with a small smile on his face.

"How long has it been since the phenomenon appeared in the sky?" Octavius suddenly asked.

Evan looked at Octavius in confusion, not understanding why he was asking this, but he still answered his question regardless. "Around forty minutes."

Hearing Evan's response, Octavius looked at him with a speechless expression.

"What?" Under Octavius's gaze, Evan felt uncomfortable so he asked while looking at him in confusion.

"Sigh, to think you don't even have basic knowledge about phenomena," The old man said and shook his head.

"Listen carefully, young man," Octavius assumed a sage-like posture and said with his hands behind his back. "A phenomenon of this magnitude can only be caused by treasures that are rank four or above, and normally, the phenomenon appears a few days before the treasure fully matures or materializes... Do you understand? The phenomenon appears a few days before the treasure matures or materializes...."

Evan's eyes opened wide in shock when he heard what Octavius was saying. "You mean to say..."

Seeing Evan's shocked look, Octavius nodded his head. "Yes, since this phenomenon just appeared forty minutes ago, the treasure that is causing this anomaly will still take three or four days to fully mature or materialize so we have enough time to make a Beast Heart Draught for you."

Evan's heartbeat quickened when he heard Octavius and his dim eyes instantly lit up. "You are not joking with me, right, old man?"

"My soul essence is under your control. Through it, you can feel whether I am lying or not."

Evan didn't bother to use Octavius's soul essence to check if he was lying or not, as he already knew Octavius wouldn't dare to lie to him. He quickly thanked him for the information and flew away from the mountain range.

In just a few seconds, he arrived above a group of monsters that was heading in the direction of the source of the rainbow-

coloured light, and his eyes flashed with a sinister glow.

"It's time to hunt..." He said loudly, and a dark shadow covered the gloomy sky of the second layer. "Come out, my Shadow Undeads!"

The group of monsters that was moving forward suddenly stopped and looked towards the sky.

When the group of monsters looked towards the sky, their hearts instantly turned cold as they saw hundreds of black-

coloured monsters coming out from a giant black gate that opened in the middle of the sky and looking at them with their cold burning purple eyes.
