Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1180: Condensed Vylkr Essence Rebirth Elixirs



Though he didn't know how these monstrosities had grown to this point and arrived here, he understood that the Divine Mysteries were using them to wage war against those within the Mirror realm.

It also felt a bit ironic!

Orion shifted his focus to the side and saw tainteds that rivalled the immense, grotesque height of the four-star Vylkr vines. These tainteds looked far more fearsome than those he had encountered in the ocean, and they, too, seemed to have merged with thorny Vylkr vines. The Vylkr vines stretched out of their bodies and lashed around like fierce whips. Due to the snowy dust clouds obscuring his view, he couldn't see those in the skies.

Meanwhile, Valer and Kasryn noticed Orion's disbelieving expression and assumed he was shocked at seeing the monstrosities advancing toward the sanctuary.

Kasryn extended her right hand and gently patted his shoulder.

"As Arch-Knight Valer said, you don't need to worry. Just focus on what you can do and leave the rest to us. Even though these creatures are far more powerful than the tainteds you've likely encountered outside, we've handled this kind of threat many times before," she reassured, hoping to ease his nerves.

It would be disastrous if the person their goddess had proclaimed as the key to their victory chose to retreat out of fear of the approaching enemy.

Kasryn had witnessed this scene many times before, with new warriors entering the sanctuary, eager to prove their strength, quickly realizing that their opponents were on a much higher level than they were used to. It was a practical, humbling experience. However, she would be disappointed if someone who had defeated the Harbingers and received the goddess's praise crumbled so quickly.

But Orion merely nodded; his thoughts were elsewhere. He was carefully considering his approach against the Vylkr vines. He could no longer rely on the crimson greatsword, as the Vylkr vines could absorb its divine aura, adapt, and grow stronger.

Orion realized he would need to depend on the Morphic puppet and his remaining artefacts if he hoped to emerge victorious and attract the goddess of Twilight Chorus and Fortune's interest.

As for the goddess of Malevolence and Witches, he preferred not to think about her. He would be relieved if she remained hidden. He didn't have the energy to contend with another god right now.

Seeing his silent response, Kasryn sighed softly and disappointedly shook her head. She wondered if he were truly the one the goddess proclaimed would be the key to our victory in this war.

Valer also wore a disappointed expression. He exchanged a glance with Kasryn, silently conveying a message: 'Take him out of here.'

Kasryn nodded in understanding.

"Follow me. We need to prepare for the battle," she said.

With a nod, Orion followed as she turned and led the way.

Watching their departure, Jareth turned to Valer and asked, "Is he really the one the goddess said would be the key to our victory, commander? Even if he was one of the two who defeated the Harbingers, he's only just arrived. How is he supposed to accomplish such a feat?"

The Arch-Knight couldn't forget Orion's and Aurora's earlier disrespect toward the Priestess when they first arrived at the sanctuary, and he couldn't shake the feeling of doubt about how one of those two could solve the coming crisis.

'Has our goddess finally become blind, or perhaps all those years of being dead have left her mind unable to think properly?' Jareth thought.

As these various thoughts emerged, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and immediately dispelled them.

"If the goddess has said so, then we have no choice but to believe in her. She has never failed us. Whenever she decrees something, fortune follows. However, we must still be prepared to give our best if necessary, so don't use this as an excuse to become complacent," Valer responded, looking at his second-in-command.

Jareth nodded solemnly.

"Good. Now sound the alarms and prepare the troops for battle!" Valer ordered.

Jareth saluted and turned to walk away.

"Everyone set a defensive formation around the gate and prepare for battle! Make sure not one of those beastly monsters gets through!" Jareth shouted.

...

Orion followed Kasryn to the base of the walls.

They stood before a fully armoured Quradactyl, its crown-covered head protected down to its tail. The beautiful, fearsome beast now looked even more terrifying-battle-ready and prepared to face any foe.

"You look so beautiful," Kasryn commented, softly rubbing its exposed head beneath its raised helmet.

As the beast trembled softly under her touch, Kasryn chuckled. "You're still so sensitive to compliments."

She withdrew her hand and pulled out a small cylindrical container with a cap on top from a pouch at her waist. It had been given to her by the soldier who brought the armoured flying beast. She tossed it to Orion.

"That bottle contains Condensed Vylkr Esscene Rebirth Elixirs. It's a special pill that allows you to use your energy despite the realm's restrictions freely. It can also temporarily increase your Vylkr energy level and cleanse impurities from both your body and your Vylkr energy, making it easier to use."

"You can only take one pill per hour, as its effects last for that long, with a limit of three pills per day. So, you'll need to time it carefully and take one right before battle to benefit from its effects fully," Kasryn explained.

Hearing her words, Orion's eyes widened in surprise. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he loosened the cap and looked inside. The elixir was pills with a bright gold and black mixture

with a visible purplish aura.

They contained a faint divine aura that Orion recognized at a glance.

Sure enough, they were indeed made by those goddesses!

Orion couldn't help but be impressed by the goddesses' capabilities again and felt they deserved their positions. Like the Aegis of the Arctic Deity Aerialia, Ilse, and Aurora, their

presence alone could change the tide in any situation.

Without hesitation, Orion popped a pill into his mouth.

"Wait..." Kasryn shouted but fell silent when she saw that Orion had swallowed the pill

despite her warning.

'Is he the one who will be the key to our victory in this war?' Kasryn thought, frowning deeply as she looked at Orion, whose eyes were now closed as he dealt with the effects of the Condensed Vylkr Essence Rebirth Elixir.

Despite the goddess's words, she wasn't eager to deal with someone who couldn't follow hern/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

orders in battle.

At the Priestess's manor, she had felt that the woman standing beside him had a much stronger aura than he did and couldn't help but wonder why the goddess hadn't sent both instead and what made him so special.

Unknowingly to Orion, his status had dropped in Kasryn's eyes.

While all this was transpiring in Kasryn's mind, Orion felt profound changes happening

within him after swallowing the pill.

First, the strange seal that had been placed upon him since entering the Mirror Realm

disappeared, and a burst of pure Vylkr energy spread through every fibre of his being, creating subtle changes that didn't escape Orion's awareness, as he was deeply familiar with his body.

His muscles spasmed.

The surge of Vylkr energy, continuously transforming his body, also flowed into his Vylkr

container.

As Orion channelled the Vylkr energy through his body, he realized that not only had his physique become more robust, enabling him to handle the violent Vylkr energy better, but the new Vylkr energy he absorbed from the pill also merged with the Primordial energy to

suppress the violent Vylkr energy within his Vylkr container.

Although the Primordial energy didn't need assistance, the new Vylkr energy acted like antibodies, calming the vicious Vylkr energy within him and simultaneously fine-tuning his control. The new Vylkr energy also blended seamlessly with the old.

Orion realized that if he took more of these pills, he might be able to unleash his Vylkr warrior mode without dying or suffering its disastrous side effects, further amplifying his abilities.

Orion was shocked by these tremendous changes.

If only Aurora were nearby, he would have given her a mask to check how much his Vylkr energy had increased. From the feast he had consumed at the nymphs' territory to his time within the pocket dimension and the pills in his hand, he knew that his Vylkr energy had risen several times beyond what it was before.

'I need to eat more,' Orion thought and immediately attempted to pop another pill into his hand, but a hand swiftly snatched the pill bottle before he could.

Kasryn, observing to prevent Orion from doing anything reckless again, quickly placed the pill bottle back into her small bag after taking it from him.

"Are you insane?! Didn't I tell you that you can only consume one pill per hour?! Are you aware of the disastrous effects of consuming them like that?!" Kasryn scolded, her expression twisting in anger as she glared at Orion with a sharp glint in her eyes.
