Chapter 1457 Borrowed Might Potions

After securing the Mandrake Formation and its accompanying compendium, Eren expressed his gratitude once more to Minerva before proceeding to scrutinize the remaining rewards.

Next on his inventory was a transcendent-grade potion enabling the casting of elemental spells with the powers of an S-Rank entity. This consumable, a one-time-use elixir, granted Eren temporary access to a singular S-Rank spell.

There were three potion bottles of this kind. This means Eren could technically cast three S-Rank elemental spells. There would be side effects but Minerva assured that they wouldn't be permanent or life threatening.

Minerva also cautioned Eren that while these potions augmented his spellcasting, his own Elemental Attainments would invariably impose constraints, preventing an exact replication of a Sage Ranker's might. Since Eren was a Master Ranker at this point, the Sage predicted that Eren would be able to unleash the might of the beginning of the A-Rank using these potions. Minerva aptly named these potions as Type One Borrowed Might potions.

Minerva knew the power structure of Anfang as well as the restrictions and policies set by the Anfang Alliance. She warned Eren that he shouldn't use these potions unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, he would be taken in for questioning by Anfang Alliance for carrying such destructing threats on his personnel.

In addition to the consumable potions, Eren found himself bestowed with augment-type elixirs. These potent concoctions held the power to temporarily elevate the prowess of diverse artifacts and weaponry to the echelons of S-Rank might to some extent. Minerva called these potions Type Two Borrowed Might potions.

The Type Two Borrowed Might potions, while potent, had their constraints. Their efficacy was dependent on the quality of the targeted artifact and the variance between a Ranker's original status and the S-Rank– a wider gap led to diminished effects.

Nonetheless, Minerva surmised that these elixirs could potentially enable Eren to channel the might of up to a Grandmaster Ranker in their prime. However, the potency of these potions would be fleeting, lasting merely a few seconds at best. Additionally, their utilization risked damaging the targeted artifacts, with the potential for complete destruction once the heightened influence of the potion waned.

'This… this is even better than the summoning formation. I can use these potions anytime I want. With these Borrowed Might potions at my disposal, I've acquired another arsenal of trump cards.

The Lazarus Project is coming to an end. At this point, I couldn't have imagined a more fitting trick to keep on me at all times as a backup,' Eren reflected, securing the potions within his ID Storage.

Minerva was very thorough with her rewards. Her gifts included these Borrowed Might elixirs as well as the potioning and alchemical insights essential for their creation.

The weight of succeeding Minerva in her legacy compelled Eren to not only inherit but also innovate upon her research. This was the essence of the sage's inheritance. The Sages who left the inheritance grounds wanted to witness the blossoming of fresh ideas from the seeds of knowledge they had sown.

Minerva wasn't a run-of-the-mill potion maker; her forte lay in enhancing spells, artifacts, and ranking resources through the catalytic magic of her elixirs. Thus, her legacy encompassed not just potion recipes but also this specialized facet of her expertise.

Eren marveled at the richness of the inheritance Minerva had entrusted him with. It contained a trove of precious resources poised to benefit him even beyond his ascent into the A-Rank.

His dual pursuits when it came to the generation of wealth – potion-making and artifact craftsmanship – could both reap rewards from the rare magical minerals, diverse metal ingots, and ranked herbs that were now at his disposal. All thanks to Minerva.

Over the past nine years, Eren's resources, obtained from various sources, had gradually diminished due to his experimentation in potion-making and crafting artifacts. While the City of White Raven had periodically replenished his funds and other ranking resources, there was a limit to how much Eren could allocate from the city's finances for his personal projects.

Additionally, the challenge of acquiring rare ranking resources extended beyond monetary constraints. Their scarcity posed a significant hurdle, contributing to their exorbitant prices.

In this context, one could assert that Minerva's rewards came at precisely the opportune moment when Eren's need was most pressing. These rewards provided him with a timely influx of resources.

Eren spared little time contemplating the resources Minerva had presented to him. He cast fleeting glances at them and posed a series of questions to Minerva to clarify their nature. With thorough explanations, Minerva not only addressed Eren's queries but also offered essential precautions for the proper utilization of the rewards she had extended.

In addition to these valuable resources, Minerva placed into Eren's possession an unassuming-looking Array Disk. However, Eren was taken aback to discover that this seemingly ordinary disk contained meticulously recorded experiment logs from Minerva's tenure in Anfang.

Astonishingly, these logs encompassed not only textual information but also audiovisual data and Minerva's personal recollections intertwined with her pursuits in potion-making and alchemy.

Minerva could have employed alternative methods to directly transmit her knowledge to Eren. Yet, adopting such an approach would have sapped her soul fragment's vigor, resulting in her eventual fading from Anfang. Minerva was reluctant to let her soul fragment disperse just yet without finding the right candidate to receive the Virtue Series Marks she had to offer.

Thus, the Sage Ranker opted to furnish Eren with comprehensive written records of her field of expertise. Concurrently, she initiated his guidance, offering insights into crucial nuances embedded within her legacy.

Eren welcomed the abundance of information Minerva shared. She discerned his exceptional capacity to perpetuate her legacy, his adeptness spanning diverse domains despite his relative youth.

Standing before her was a young man not even a century old, yet already possessing profound acumen in potion-making, artifact craftsmanship, and runic array formation. She wondered how he could have achieved something like that?

Eren seemed to embody the cumulative wisdom that the land of the faithless had to offer.
