Chapter 5 - Drinking the Elixir

"HELLLLLLL YEAHHHHHH"

In the middle of the night, the voice of a teenager was heard across the Singh family's manor.

Many soldiers, maids, and members of the Singh family heard him.

They were stunned for a second before going back to whatever they were doing.

Adam was excited after he saw what the Elixir could do.

He immediately ordered the system to bring out the Elixir. He couldn't wait to see its effects.

"system give me the Elixir immediately"

Adam was trembling from excitement.

Soon, a small luxurious looking vial containing a blood red liquid appeared on his left hand.

"fuuuuu....."

Adam released a long breath to calm down his excitement.

Then, without wasting more time, he opened the vial and swallowed the blood red liquid like he hadn't drunk water for days.

"..... It tastes like pomegranate"

Adam was speechless. An excellent Elixir would taste like a common fruit juice.

After 10 minutes, Adam saw changes in his body black liquid was coming out from his pores.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! THIS HURTS LIKE HELL!"

This process was extremely painful and Adam couldn't help but scream in agony.

Footsteps could be heard coming towards his room. Soon, Albert figure could be seen inside Adam's room, his face that always had an aloof expression was replaced with a worried one.

"What the....."

When Albert looked inside the room, he saw what seem to be black slime. Although he didn't know, that was Adam. The impurities in his body had covered his entire body like a cocoon.

Albert was about to attack when he heard Adam's angered voice.

" Don't you dare attack"

'if he attacks, he will interrupt the process and all this pain would be for nothing.'

Albert flinched, he didn't know where Adam's voice came from. He looke around but he didn't see him.

Then, Adam's voice entered his ears once again.

"I am in this black slime-like thing. In a few minutes, it will end. So, make sure no one interrupts me..... Ahhhhhhhhh"

"but young master I..."

"ARE YOU DISOBEYING ME, ALBERT?"

"I understand, young master."

After he said that he went, outside the door and stood there as a guard. Adam's voice could still be heard and as his bones were destroyed and reconstructed , his scream became louder.

"young master....."

Albert murmured under his breath.

After a ten minutes Edward and a few knights were marching towards Adam's room.

Soon, the only thing preventing then from opening the door was Albert.

"Albert, move out of the way"

"I can't. I'm sorry, Master"

Albert said with a firm voice. But Edwards face wasn't looking good.

"And why is that?"

Edward said while trying to supress his anger but it was easy to see how angry he was right now.

"The young master ordered me to not let anyone interrupt him. Even if it's you master"

"Albert, do you understand the consequences of your actions?"

Edward's angered voice entered Albert's ears once again.

"I understand but I will execute the command my master gave me even if I have to sacrifice my life"

As he said that, He held 2 daggers in reverse grip and he took a fighting stance.

"I see. If you are going that far, then I won't show any mercy."

When he finished what he was saying his sword aura exploded.

After he said that the knights that were following him, also raised their swords.

The atmosphere was tense.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, there was an explosion inside Adam's room.

The windows shattered, the door exploded and the most disgusting smell spread everywhere.

Albert and Edward looked inside the room at the same time and what they saw made them shocked.

Inside the room, a tall, well-build, handsome young man was standing in the middle of the room. His eyes had turned white but he was still standing.

The furniture in the room were destroyed, the walls were covered with a black slime-like substance.

Edward slowly walked towards Adam. He could feel that Adam had already broken through the late-stage low-rank knight. But he didn't care about it. He only about his son's well-being.

"Master, young master is fine. According to the young master everything will be fine if you don't interrupt what his is doing right now but if you disturb him, something bad will happen"

Although Albert didn't say it directly, Edward understood what that meant.

"I understand. Isolate this part of the mansion. I don't want anyone to know what happened. If someone asks say it was an assassination attempt. If my wife or daughters, tell them to ask me"

As soon as he heard Adam would be fine as long as they didn't disturb him, Edward ordered his trusted soldiers. Then Edward sat to the ground and waited for Adam to finish what he was doing. Albert was standing next to him.

He planned to ask him what happened and he wouldn't calm down if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.

**********************************************

At around 7 in the morning, Adam's eyes began to recover their color.

"Master, the young master seems to be waking up."

Albert's excited voice was heard across the the room.

"I see it, Albert. I see it."

Answered Edward with an excited voice.

Adam slowly regained his consciousness. He looked at his body which had the same clothes as before but they didn't fit him anymore.

Although he became a lot more handsome, with those clothes he looked like an idiot since he had grown at least 30 centimeters taller and lost his chubbiness. That didn't leave any stretch marks though. His muscles also became more defined with a perfect set of 8-abs

That isn't all though. His mind became clearer than before and his perception increased by leaps and bounds he could even see, hear and smell an ant from 500 meters.

Although this was nothing compared to intermediate rank or stronger knights, he was sure he had the best vision amonk the low-rank knights.

"How do you feel, Adam?"

It was then that his father's voice entered his ears.

"I feel stronger...smarter.....Ι feel better..... I FEEL BETTER! "
