Chapter 48: Ch46. RE: [World Quest] (4) - Sounds like a plan
The tension in the air was suffocating, thick with the remnants of scorched metal and the acrid scent of charred flesh. Sarissa barely had time to process Miles’ sudden arrival before something small and delicate flew toward her.
Instinctively, she reached out, catching it midair.
’What? A teacup?"
The translucent crystal cup was filled with an ethereal liquid, a shimmering blend of blues and purples, swirling like a captured galaxy. The fragrance that wafted up from it was unlike anything she had ever encountered. It was warm, and comforting, with a hint of cinnamon and something magical.
"Drink it," She heard Miles say, without looking at her, his scythe still locked against the katana. "You look awful with all these bruises and cuts." He chuckled.
Sarissa tilted her head, frowning. A psychopath in front of him, and he has time to notice all her bruises? What is he even?
She hesitated for only a moment before shaking her head and tipping the teacup back, swallowing the strange liquid in one gulp. The effect was instantaneous.
Sarissa felt a surge of energy coursing through her veins, mending her wounds, closing the gashes along her ribs, and easing the throbbing pain in her limbs. But it wasn’t just a healing potion. She could feel it.
Something deeper, something potent filled her core with renewed vigor as the system’s voice echoed in her head.
[You have consumed an unknown infusion]
[All wounds have been healed]
