Inside the shop.
Lynn sat amidst piles of coins with a conflicted expression (〒▽〒), counting Skeleton Coins one by one.
"My conscience can't handle this, my conscience just can't handle it. But I swear I didn't deceive consumers - if combat effectiveness can be doubled, then surely all aspects of combat capability should experience exponential improvement!"
"Our Bloodsaw Potion Shop's reputation is absolutely top-tier. If anyone experiences hair loss issues, I'll develop another batch of hair growth potions tomorrow, definitely affordable! T^T"
Meanwhile.
On a plain somewhere in the Dark World.
Row after row of fully armed dark elves stood in formation, their gazes serious as they stared into the black mist ahead.The leading dark elf looked grave, gripping his spear tightly, ready for battle at any moment.
This was the fifth day of their Elf King's Court defense against the abyssal insect horde, and the crucial moment that would determine victory. If their battalion could successfully withstand this fierce counterattack from the insect swarm, they could hold out until reinforcements arrived.
Faint roars continuously echoed from within the darkness.
Vague glimpses of pairs of crimson eyes could be seen flickering in the dark.
"Has our supplies not arrived yet?!"
The elf captain turned his head, frowning as he looked at his subordinate behind him.
Their current situation was extremely critical.
All supply routes had been completely severed, leaving the Sight dimension as their only remaining means of transportation.
But their supply of [Sight Stones] was nearly exhausted.
If they couldn't withstand this insect swarm assault, their defensive line would be completely breached by tomorrow.
"Captain!"
A dark elf rushed over from the distance, stopping breathlessly before him, panting:
"I've established contact with the King's Court through the Sight dimension! The Court has emergency delivered some supplies, but Sight transmission has limitations - only about a hundred combat potions emergency purchased by the Court have come through initially!"
"I hope they can help us!"
He quickly placed the box he was carrying on the ground.
Opening the lid.
Inside were neatly arranged rows upon rows of various types of compound potions.
"Half are emergency healing potions, two-thirds are auxiliary strength potions, and the remaining third are several bottles of advanced combat potions that the Court's supply officers emergency purchased!"
He picked up a bottle of poop-yellow and bloody-red potion, solemnly handing it to the captain.
"Captain! Here!"
The elf captain frowned, grabbing the potion and looking at the turbid, nauseating liquid inside, saying:
"What kind of potion is this? It looks like urine!"
The elf said seriously: "The supply pressure on all battalions is too great, the Court's inventory is nearly depleted, so the newly purchased potions are of varying quality. But reportedly, this potion can nearly double the user's combat effectiveness - extremely potent!"
Double?!
Upon hearing this, all the surrounding dark elves showed astonished expressions.
They knew very well that potions capable of greatly increasing combat power in short periods were usually priceless and rare on the market. Potions that could double effectiveness were ace-level potions that could save lives at critical moments!
But similarly.
The side effects of such potions were also extremely severe.
Some potions could leave users extremely weakened for many days after consumption.
Regardless.
Such potions remained incredibly useful.
"Any side effects?"
They knew very well that potions capable of greatly increasing combat power in short periods were usually priceless and rare on the market. Potions that could double effectiveness were ace-level potions that could save lives at critical moments!
"How many bottles of this potion were delivered?"
"Five bottles."
The elf captain's gaze turned grave as he said heavily:
"Distribute the potions. If they can truly double combat effectiveness in a short time, I'm confident we can defeat that aberration!"
As long as they could crush that broodmother, the crisis on their defensive line could be greatly alleviated.
Just at that moment, sharp roars suddenly echoed from within the darkness.
The next moment.
The black mist surged as countless giant crawlers madly emerged from beneath the ground, their foul-smelling mouthparts emitting terrifying screeches in their direction.
In the distance, a massive broodmother of enormous size suddenly appeared within their field of vision.
"They're coming!"
The elf captain suddenly looked up, roaring.
"Prepare defenses!"
The insect swarm launched their assault like a tidal wave.
The captain charged ahead instantly into the insect swarm, brandishing his spear, viciously tearing one crawler after another into pieces.
His gaze immediately locked onto the massive aberration commanding the insect swarm deep within the horde.
His eyes sharpened.
If this potion could truly double combat effectiveness!
Then he was absolutely confident he could slay that troublesome aberration right from amidst ten thousand enemies!
Pop—
He twisted open the stopper.
Gritting his teeth.
He downed the entire bottle of potion in one gulp.
And in that very instant.
He suddenly felt an indescribable torrent of heat surge through his entire body from his stomach.
His pupils instantly dilated.
"This... this power..."
His eyes showed shocked expression.
He felt his power rapidly increasing, as if all the blood in his body was boiling. The potion acted like some potent catalyst, massively amplifying his strength in an instant!
And in the very next moment.
He roared toward the sky.
His entire suit of armor instantly exploded apart.
Under the astonished gazes of all the fighting elves, their captain revealed his explosive, well-defined muscles, his rock-hard muscles pulsating with pounding beats.
"Captain?!" They were both shocked and overjoyed.
Because they could instantly sense it too.
Their captain's aura!
Seemed to have grown tremendously stronger all at once!
He suddenly felt an indescribable torrent of heat sweep through his entire body from his stomach.
Their captain's beautiful, raven-black long hair also exploded outward along with the armor, instantly revealing his shiny, gleaming scalp.
Ding—
A flash of light burst forth from their captain's smooth, rounded forehead, flashing across everyone's pupils present.
The elves: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
"So! So shiny! Why did the hair explode too!"
And almost simultaneously.
Boom—
The same explosion sounds instantly echoed again from the distance.
Under the astonished gazes of all the fighting elves, their captain revealed his explosive, well-defined muscles, his rock-hard muscles pulsating with pounding beats.
They exploded out of their clothes too!!
Their hair explosively burst outward from their pulsating, well-defined muscles.
Five or six flashes of light ding-ding-ding made them the most dazzling figures on the entire battlefield!
"They went bald too (ΩДΩ)!!"
