Enzo's unconscious form lay peacefully within the protective barrier, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm as his butterflies continued their healing work. Seraphina's keen eyes fell upon the items dropped by the defeated red lizard.
With Enzo now shielded from potential dangers, Seraphina turned her attention to the aftermath of the battle. The once-mighty red lizard now lay lifeless, its imposing form reduced to a mere husk. The ground around them bore the scars of the intense struggle, evidence of Enzo's determination and the relentless assault of his butterflies.
"At least, he got some pretty amazing loot," Seraphina muttered to herself with a knowing smile as she settled down beside Enzo. She began to examine the spoils of their hard-fought battle.
She gazed at Enzo's unconscious form, a mix of emotions swirling within her. Admiration for his bravery, resourcefulness, and his unwillingness to give up, but concern for his well-being, as well as a hint of curiosity about the destiny that seemed to be guiding his path. Seraphina had seen her fair share of warriors, but Enzo was different – an outsider who didn't know how people in her realm trained nor how hard it was. Yet he endured everything and was now someone undoubtedly strong.
With a soft smile, Seraphina allowed herself a moment of satisfaction. She knew that Enzo's victory was not just about defeating a formidable creature, but about his growth as a warrior. His level had increased, and he had earned rewards that would aid him on his journey.
"At least, he got some pretty amazing loot," she mused, speaking to the unconscious Enzo as if he could hear her. The defeated red lizard was indeed a treasure trove of valuable resources. Its scales, teeth, and various organs could be used to create potent magical items, and its essence held the potential for powerful enchantments.
And it was without talking about the few loot chests the giant red lizard left behind.
[Epic weapon treasure chest: Contain a weapon of the epic category inside]
[Rare accessory treasure chest: Contain an accessory of the rare category inside]
[Rare random treasure chest: Contain a random item of the rare category inside]
Usually, only high-level monsters would drop multiple chests like this. And when I say I level, it was those past the hundreds of levels, not some level 50 monsters.
"Remarkable... It seems fate smiles upon you," she murmured, her fingers tracing the intricate carvings on the chests. Rare and epic items were not easily obtained, and for Enzo to have acquired such rewards spoke volumes about the significance of his accomplishment.
Well at least for someone of his level.
She decided to begin by opening the "Epic weapon treasure chest." With a sense of anticipation, she gently touched the ornate chest, and it obediently unlocked with a soft click. The lid swung open to reveal a dazzling array of weapons, each emanating a faint but palpable aura of power.
Indeed even after so many years of experience and hardship, it was still a thrilling experience to open loot chests.
Once the epic chest disappeared, it was replaced by a sword. It has a slender, curved blade with intricate engravings along its length. Its hilt was adorned with precious gems that sparkled in the dim light of the protective barrier.

[The Sword of the Celestial Serpent]
[Ancient sword forged from the scales of a powerful celestial serpent. The serpent was known for its connection to both earth and sky, and its essence has been imbued into the blade. Increases Dexterity by 45, and a chance to deliver a paralyzing strike.]
Seraphina's eyes widened as she read the description. The Sword of the Celestial Serpent was a truly remarkable weapon, far beyond what she had anticipated. Its connection to an ancient serpent with ties to both earth and sky hinted at its extraordinary origins.
Truly a remarkable weapon of the Epic rank.
The sword's abilities were equally impressive. Increased agility would make Enzo even more agile and elusive in combat. The chance to deliver a paralyzing strike could prove invaluable in battles against formidable foes. The only problem was that the chances of paralyzing weren't said, but knowing Enzo, she was sure that he would be able to take advantage of this feature pretty well.
With the Sword of the Celestial Serpent in hand, Seraphina turned her attention to the "Rare accessory treasure chest." She touched the chest, and a few moments later, it opened to reveal an amulet radiating with its own unique aura.
After a moment of watching the amulet, Seraphina finally took the gleaming amulet with a design reminiscent of intertwined vines and leaves. It was crafted with intricate detail, and the gem at its center seemed to shimmer with a faint green light.

[Amulet of the Verdant Grove]
[An amulet infused with the essence of the ancient forest. Provides enhanced protection against magical attacks, as well as the ability to tap into the vitality of the natural world for healing and restoration.]
Seraphina's lips curved into a satisfied smile as she read the description. The Amulet of the Verdant Grove was a perfect fit for Enzo. Its connection to the forest and its ability to draw upon the vitality of nature would complement his affinity with butterflies pretty well. The enhanced protection against magical attacks would bolster his defenses, making him even more resilient in battle.
Lastly, she opened the "Rare random treasure chest," her curiosity piqued by the unknown contents. The chest revealed a small, crystalline vial filled with a swirling, iridescent liquid.
[Item description.]
[Elixir of the Ethereal Veil]
[A rare elixir that temporarily enhances physical and magical attributes. Grants heightened strength, agility, and magical prowess for a limited duration.]
Seraphina's eyes widened with delight as she read the description of the Elixir of the Ethereal Veil. Such elixirs were highly coveted by adventurers and warriors alike. They had the potential to turn the tide of a battle, granting temporary but significant enhancements to both physical and magical abilities.
