Three New Potions X Ability Combinations

"I wish I could wear stockings."

Melusina's legs seem more suited to wearing white stockings. Thinking about it...

"Don't think about it! Don't think about it!" Melusina finally couldn't hold back any longer and gently tapped Kevin's shoulder with her fists.

"Ahem, I wasn't thinking anything, I was just admiring my girlfriend's perfect figure," Kevin said slyly.

Melusina's face flushed, her small mouth agape, her arms crossed over her chest, her head turned away, and she let out a soft hum.

At this time, the patient is receiving treatment once a day.

Although she knew Kevin liked her legs, the increasingly intense desire he had just felt was still hard for her to bear.

The mixture of desire and love is truly heart-pounding.

"Don't-don't touch me--" Melusina's voice was barely Mosquito Fly. Kevin looked at the soft, boneless white leg he was holding in his hands. The delicate, jade-like toes twitched slightly and curled downwards.

"You've started to regain control of your legs, and you should be fully healed in another week." With that, Kevin lifted Melusina up and placed her in the wheelchair.

Logically, the White Snake should have been responsible for supporting Melusina's legs.

But this White Snake is getting lazier and lazier these days.

Of course, we can't blame it entirely.

After all, it's just a snake.

Back when they lived in the Village Castle, Melusina had limited daily activity levels; she would mostly wander around the Castle and rarely went outside.

But things changed drastically after she arrived at the Manor. She wandered around the vast Manor every day, sometimes even going out with Nion and the others.

This exhausted the White Snake, causing her to exert herself to increase dramatically.

The amount of exercise I'm doing in a day is five or six times what it used to be; anyone would find that exhausting.

Two days later, the White Snake began to slack off.

Sitting in her wheelchair Melusina gently tapped the head of the White Snake wrapped around her.

"You lazy bum, I'll dump you once I can walk again."

The White Snake shook its head, gave Melusina a disdainful look, then tossed its head and flicked its tongue.

Who cares about a woman like you?

It slowly swam onto Kevin, and then deliberately turned its head towards Melusina, hissing twice.

This action made Melusina's eyes widen, and she looked at Kevin in disbelief.

Kevin coughed twice, somewhat awkwardly, and explained, "I discovered that its venom is also an ingredient in making potions."

So I've been paying more attention to it lately.

You can't blame him for that; after all, he extracted the snake's venom, so naturally he had to soothe it and give it plenty of food and treats.

"Snort."

Melusina, pouting and sulking, pushed her wheelchair herself and stormed off.

"You stupid snake." Kevin tapped the snake's head resting on his shoulder and hurriedly chased after it.

In the afternoon, Kevin returned to his Pharmaceutical Room.

He rubbed his temples.

Although the Pharmaceutical Room had not been expanded, it was already crammed full of various materials, and the walls were covered with all sorts of record sheets.

"Having too many available materials is also a headache."

This sweet dilemma left Kevin somewhat helpless.

"I thought I could take a shortcut using Melusina's abilities, but I didn't expect there to be such limitations." Thinking of this, Kevin felt even more helpless.

To better assist Kevin, Melusina would sometimes help him when Kevin was making potions, acting as his assistant or learning related knowledge.

Her Nen ability requires her to understand Kevin's troubles and know the direction to solve them in order to be effective.

Therefore, she needs to know at least the most basic information.

However, this ability has a limitation: Kevin must genuinely be troubled by it, otherwise, without a trigger, the Nen ability cannot be activated.

He's not worried about how to activate his Nen ability.

Kevin has been back for almost two months.

He only really struggled with potion making once. At other times, although it took him a considerable amount of time, he didn't feel frustrated because he had plenty of inspiration.

In this situation, Melusina's Nen ability couldn't help him improve efficiency.

Thinking of this, Kevin couldn't help but tap his head.

"Wow, I'm actually enjoying it."

I really can't do anything about myself.

However, after nearly two months of effort, Kevin has at least successfully learned the changes in Nen ability brought about by the [Blazing Potion] and the [Wind Rider Potion].

However, the changes brought about by these two abilities do present a certain learning challenge.

He can heat up his Nen Aura and turn it into wind, but how to use these abilities is something he has to figure out for himself.

In other words, he will need to spend some time getting used to the wind and heat, allowing them to truly integrate into his combat skills.

This is equivalent to mastering a new Nen ability, which requires him to skillfully apply the techniques.

This is quite different from the changes brought about by low- to mid-range pharmaceuticals in the past.

For example, Kevin often uses the [Iron Wall] potion.

Kevin's Nen ability, which he previously acquired through potions, were mostly passive abilities. Even when activated, they didn't require much control and were basically just numerical changes.

Therefore, the learning cost is almost zero. After learning it and becoming slightly proficient, you can use it perfectly in battle.

Moreover, Kevin already has a high degree of control over his Nen ability.

But things are different now.

As the potion's grade increases to the mid-to-high level, the changes in Nen ability brought about by the potion become increasingly diverse.

Take the [Blazing Potion] for example; how high it can raise the temperature depends entirely on Kevin's own abilities.

How to raise the temperature? How to increase the temperature in a specific area? How to raise the temperature while avoiding being harmed by excessively high ambient temperatures?

Can the rate of temperature increase be accelerated? These are all things Kevin needs to train on.

Not to mention the much more difficult [Wind Rider Potion].

The various uses and variations of wind are almost equivalent to a completely new Nen ability.

Let's not think about these things for now.

We need to make the medicine we designed yesterday first.

Kevin immediately sprang into action.

[Gold Scale: Snake tendon (cut into sections, 56 grams)]

[Silver Scale: Shadow Hollow (10g total)]

[Bronze Scale: Golden Script Flower Petal (two petals per 10 grams)]

[Effect: Nen Aura can become flexible and strong.]

Kevin started making it.

Soon, the finished drug was produced.

Kevin named this potion [Whipper Potion].

After preparing the potion, Kevin went straight to the Training Ground.

Seeing Kevin approaching with the potion, Kurapika and the others immediately sat obediently on the nearby viewing platform.

In this situation, Kevin is either using the drug to familiarize himself with the new ability or testing the New Potion.

This time, Kevin brought out several different potions.

[Roarer Potion]

[Ripper Potion]

[Whipper Potion]

All three are B-Rank potions, high-grade potions that Kevin recently created.

Of course, there are also some lower-level potions, but those potions are not very valuable for learning; they are more for enriching the variety and functions of Kevin's potions.

[Howler's Potion] is made primarily from the Griffin's Throat and Tongue, with the addition of the eagle's Throat and Tongue.

Its effect is that Kevin can Emission his Nen ability by shouting; it is a composite Nen ability that combines Enhancement Type and Emission Type.

The Griffin used this move in battle.

The [Ripper Potion] is made from the claws of Griffin and the claws of Terror Claw Leopard.

Just from the ingredients and the name of the potion, one can guess its function—to directly strengthen Kevin's hands, fingers, and nails.

Make them as sharp and powerful as the claws of a wild beast.

This is a relatively pure Enhancement Type potion.

[Whipper Potion] It's newly made, so I won't go into too much detail.

The reason we're only conducting the experiment now is because Kevin has been learning and mastering the abilities of the [Blazing Potion] and the [Wind Rider Potion].

The harvest of materials was plentiful, and a considerable number of newly crafted and learnable potions were produced. Kevin spent a significant amount of time just learning the abilities of these potions.

Kevin picked up the Syringe and injected the [Roarer Potion] into his body.

Instantly, Kevin felt a tickle in his throat and couldn't help but want to yell.

"Cover your ears," Kevin turned to remind everyone.

Upon hearing this, Kurapika immediately covered his ears with his fingers and even used his Nen Aura to create a protective barrier.

Once everyone was ready, Kevin looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.

"Roar!"

The Nen Aura surged forth with the roar.

Sound travels in waves, impacting forward almost visibly.

The surrounding glass shattered instantly.

Seeing this, Kevin quickly shut his mouth.

If they keep yelling like that, the ceiling might collapse.

By this time, the area ahead was a complete mess.

The training room floor and the targets were overturned and broken by the roars.

Kurapika stared in disbelief at the scene.

Can a mere roar possess such immense power?

What kind of monster has Uncle Kevin turned into?

"This place doesn't seem suitable for continuing the drug testing. Let's go to the Back Mountain."

After saying that, Kevin led the group toward the Back Mountain.

The Light have acquired several mountains and large areas of forest Back Mountain, making them their territory.

The space here is open and won't disturb others.

At this point, the effects of the [Roarer Potion] still had half their duration remaining.

Kevin again instructed the men to plug their ears, then shouted loudly into the woods ahead.

This time, he gathered a large amount of Nen Aura in his throat and unleashed it with a roar.

Inside the Manor, Light, who was reading a newspaper and drinking tea, was suddenly startled by a shout from outside, spilling the coffee in his cup onto his trouser leg.

"Are you alright?" Daznuer, who had been protecting her closely, asked hurriedly.

Light shook his head.

What was that sound?

Daznuer also heard the roar, and he frowned.

"Judging from the direction, it seems to be coming from the Back Mountain. Go and ask what's going on," Light said to the maid beside him. The maid nodded slightly and quickly returned to report.

"It's Lord Kevin training in the Back Mountain."

"It's Kevin."

Upon learning it was Kevin, Light paid no further attention and continued reading the newspaper.

Daznuer couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

After asking carefully, he learned that Kevin was currently deep in the Back Mountain, quite a distance away.

Yet they could hear that roar so clearly.

Has Kevin completely turned into a monster?

He couldn't help but think that Kevin's strength was becoming more and more astonishing.

In the mountains and forests, Kurapika and the others stared blankly at the scene before them.

Melusina walked to Kevin's side, reached out and tugged at his face, then rubbed it, and pinched and squeezed his body.

"Although I don't mind your little hands moving all over my body, if you keep touching me like this, I might not be able to resist doing something."

Melusina, however, didn't seem to care and simply patted Kevin's chest blankly.

She pointed ahead.

"How did you do that? You haven't completely turned into a monster, have you?"

In front of Kevin, it looked as if a powerful storm had struck.

Large tracts of trees were leaning precariously, with many branches broken and trunks collapsed.

The sand and gravel on the ground were also kicked high into the air.

If this scene had been created by Kevin using his fists, those who had witnessed Kevin's strength might not have been so surprised.

The problem is, Kevin achieved this effect by shouting.

Slamming your fist and yelling are two completely different concepts, and the sense of impact they bring is naturally worlds apart.

"Don't be surprised, if I punched you, the effect would be about the same, so you can completely equate my yelling with the power of my punches," Kevin grinned.

This is certainly not just an effect of the [Roarer Potion] alone.

Kevin had long understood that the potion skills he learned through Nen ability were not isolated, but could be combined with each other.

Just like the high temperature brought by the [Blazing Potion], it can work in conjunction with [Iron Wall].

Kevin can apply a "brand" effect, turning the hexagonal Iron Wall into a red-hot branding iron. When it hits the opponent, any non-conflicting skills can basically be combined.

For example, [Iron Wall] and [Wind] cannot be combined because, as they are both Transmutation Type, it is impossible for Nen ability to simultaneously transform into both Iron Wall and Wind.

However, [High Temperature], which also belongs to the Transmutation Type, can be combined with [Iron Wall] and [Wind].

This contains the characteristic of the Nen ability.

Kevin just combined [wind] and [roar] together.

He amplified his voice and Emission Nen Aura through roaring, and then transformed this Nen Aura into wind.

Furthermore, the main ingredient of the [Roarer Potion] is the Griffin's Throat and Tongue, which creates a wonderful chemical reaction between [Wind] and [Roar].

The roar created a deafening wind pressure, resulting in an extremely powerful impact.

That's why we have this scene that looks like a hurricane has passed through.

Even if Kevin used his fist to create wind pressure, he wouldn't achieve the same effect.

It seems that even the wind, when generated by roaring, is more powerful than a punch or a palm strike.

As the effects of the drug wore off, Kevin didn't leave immediately. Instead, he picked up another potion—[The Ripper Potion].

He injected the medication directly into his body.

Soon, the palm changed.

Although the size of the palm remained the same, the veins became clearly visible starting from the five fingers, and the muscles on the fingers bulged.

The nails become thick and sharp.

Kevin shaped his hand into a claw shape, instantly making his entire hand look evil and fierce.

Kevin walked to a large tree and gently grabbed it.

They easily tore a notch in the tree trunk, then crushed the piece of wood into pieces.

He extended his index finger and casually ran it along the tree trunk.

It felt so easy; the tree trunk was like chalk, easily marked.

Kevin clenched his fingers into claws and swung them forcefully.

Five streaks of Flowing Light flashed by.

The tree trunk was cut off, and the part in the middle that had been clawed was broken into several pieces.

He didn't even use much force.

Knowing that the main ingredient of the [Ripper Potion] was the claws of Griffin, Kevin channeled his Nen Aura, causing the wind to envelop his palm.

He swung his claw-like weapon upwards towards the front.

"Brush!"

The sound of cutting rang out, accompanied by the sound of wind.

Five claw-like marks immediately appeared on the ground, and an invisible wind swept forward.

The fallen trees in the distance were instantly and neatly cut down.

Five deep ditches were left on the ground.

"Perfect, the coordination is just as good as the [Roarer Potion]."

The wind further amplified the power of his claws.

Then, like an excited child, Kevin stretched out his claws and frantically scratched at the fallen trees.

The fallen trees suffered the consequences, being torn to pieces by his grasp, with branches and leaves flying everywhere.

Once the effects of the potion wore off, the already devastated trees became even worse, with deep ditches filling the ground, and the trees had long since turned into a jumbled pile of timber.

However, Kevin paid no attention to the chaotic scene before him, but focused intently on his own palm.

The changes to the palm have disappeared, and it has returned to its original state.

"A new learning challenge? This is troublesome."

Kevin discovered that the medicine had undergone a new change.

This potion brings more than just a simple change in Nen Aura, nor is it merely an enhancement effect from an external potion.

It also altered the flesh and blood of Kevin's fingers, including his nails.

This belongs to the Transmutation Type abilities.

From Biscuit, Kevin learned that Transmutation Type could not only manipulate Nen Aura, but also alter their bodies.

Without a doubt, this potion possesses a combination of Enhancement Type and Transmutation Type abilities.

So the question is, how do we remember and learn about these changes to the body?

This is much more difficult than simply changing one's Nen Aura.
