At the moment Jenny consumed the magic potion, a strong magical fluctuation enveloped her entire body, and her magical energy seemed to boil within.
The witch's expression gradually turned pained, her eyes closed, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as if she were struggling with something.
Lynn watched nervously, not daring to disturb Jenny in the midst of her breakthrough. He couldn't assist and could only patiently wait for the potion's effects to wear off.
Approximately three minutes later, the magical fluctuations around Jenny began to subside. She slowly opened her eyes, swaying unsteadily on her feet, almost falling.
"How did it go? Did you succeed?" Lynn reached out to support Jenny, anxiously inquiring.
The silver-haired witch didn't respond immediately. Instead, she extended her hand, and several blazing fireballs appeared around her, spinning around her body without the use of any materials to cast the spells. This was the hallmark of a full-fledged wizard.
"I did it." Jenny's face lit up with an incredibly joyful smile, like a child who had just found a beloved toy. After extinguishing the fireballs, she began experimenting with other spells.
Fire, ice, poison mist...
This felt entirely different from using materials to cast spells in her daily routine. Advancing from an apprentice to a full-fledged wizard was a qualitative leap.
Lynn could understand the witch's excitement, so he didn't rush to ask questions. It wasn't until Jenny had finished playing around that he inquired, "How do you feel? Is there anything you're not accustomed to? Did you encounter any obstacles during the breakthrough?"
"If you want to talk about obstacles..." Jenny paused for a moment, then furrowed her brow and said, "Your brewed magic potion is quite hard to swallow..."
Lynn visibly paused, his face showing a wry, amused expression.
After teasing Lynn for a bit, the silver-haired witch grew serious and explained the sensations after taking the potion. The main effects involved the transformation of the body and an enhancement of the spirit, accompanied by intense pain that was hard to endure. But as long as one could endure it, the benefits were substantial.
As for the so-called side effects, she hadn't noticed any.
"As for the breakthrough process, it's a rather exhilarating feeling..." Jenny wracked her brain, not sure which adjectives to use.
Having learned the details of the breakthrough process from Jenny, Lynn took a sigh of relief, knowing that the potion's formula was accurate.
To avoid unforeseen circumstances, Lynn decided not to undergo the breakthrough at the Iyeta Academy. Instead, after seeing Jenny off, he returned to his secret chamber in Radak.
It was an extremely concealed location, where he didn't have to worry about anyone disturbing him.
Lynn took out a perfectly prepared "Source of Magic," then gulped it down.
The dark red liquid flowed down his throat.
As soon as it entered his mouth, Lynn understood why Jenny had said the magic potion was hard to swallow. The taste was indescribably awful. It felt as if, despite feeling no heat while holding the potion bottle, he was drinking thick molten lava.
Immediately, his entire body experienced waves of intense itching and burning sensations. He felt like he was inside a furnace, except what was being burnt was not his physical body but his soul.
Lynn's body trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattering loudly. Veins bulged all over his body, his face turned bright red, and tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
Though he had anticipated the horror of the magic potion beforehand, he had never imagined that its effects would be so dominating and intense.
An inexplicable force continuously eroded his body, eventually surging directly into his brain.
At that moment, his brain seemed to explode. Lynn briefly lost consciousness and when he came to, he found himself in a different place.
Before his lay an endless sea, and he was standing on the surface of the water, swaying with the rolling waves.
As Lynn became aware of this, his body sank, and the surging seawater pressed in from all sides. However, before he could react, his body was lifted by something sticky.
Lynn glanced downward, realizing that he was being held up by a massive tentacle.
Beneath the surface of the sea, a colossal, menacing figure had emerged. It exuded a suffocating aura, its crimson eyes fixed on him, filled with anger and hatred.
The Eye of Death.
In the instant Lynn locked eyes with the Eye of Death, his body went cold, immobilized. Then, he felt the tentacle holding him squeeze tightly, causing his body to burst as if squeezed.
Blood sprayed onto the ocean's surface, and his flesh and blood disintegrated, leaving no trace.
However, the next moment, Lynn's body reappeared on the ocean's surface. He had realized that he was currently in a mental world.
Perhaps the magic potion he had just consumed had activated his power so perfectly that the Eye of Death could materialize within his consciousness.
Just as he was pondering this, another tentacle rose from beneath the sea, reaching out for him.
This time, Lynn shot into the air, imagining that helium was lifting his body, and he floated hundreds of meters above the sea.
Even though he wouldn't truly die if he were killed here, the pain was all too real.
More and more tentacles emerged from below the sea, twisting and contorting in various forms, as if they had no upper limit, continuously extending toward Lynn in the sky, as if to ensnare him and drag him into the depths of the sea.
"Damn it."
Lynn cursed internally. The Eye of Death actually believed its tentacles could be this long.
After narrowly avoiding another strike from a tentacle, hundreds of white phosphorus fireballs the size of human heads materialized around Lynn and hurled themselves toward the Eye of Death, turning the entire sea into a sea of flames.
The enraged sea beast roared incessantly, its massive body and tentacles exposed above the sea quickly being engulfed by the flames.
However, this level of attack was far from enough. In Lynn's mental world, not only was he incapable of dying, but the infuriated Eye of Death also roared and bellowed. Its hundred-meter-long body actually broke free from the sea surface, soaring into the sky.
Lynn was left dumbfounded. He then realized that his thinking was too rational and not bold enough.
In this peculiar space, perhaps he could attempt things that were impossible in the real world.
Lynn raised his hands high. In his left hand, he continuously generated hydrogen atoms, while in his right palm, numerous anti-hydrogen atoms appeared. He used magnetic force to contain them within two massive spheres of magical energy, and then hurled them toward the approaching Eye of Death.
"I call it the [Anti-matter Annihilation Cannon.]
