Chapter 327 - 322: Group Fight
To some extent, alchemy is not much different from cooking; the distinction lies in cooking turning various ingredients into a delicious meal, while alchemy transforms various alchemy materials into a gleaming and round elixir.
In this case, if Human Elixirs are like quick stir-fry dishes, requiring constant addition of ingredients and seasoning, then Heavenly Immortal Pills are akin to elaborate feasts like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. They require rare ingredients, extensive preparation, and days to slowly stew over a low flame—allowing the alchemist time to attend to other things in the meantime.
In summary, unless crucial moments arise, alchemy does not require the alchemist to stare at the furnace every moment without stepping away. Even a slight error or delay often has no lasting impact; remedies can usually be implemented afterward.
News arrived of someone forcefully landing on the Volcanic Island and advancing toward the volcano. Leon immediately put down his current tasks.
"Mother, stay here and behave. No slacking off, no stealing bites, or else don’t blame me for being merciless."
After warning Anglistra, Leon quickly followed Salovis out of the Alchemy Room. It wasn’t a Dragon Turtle after all; it was a massive Kraken he recognized from afar.
The Kraken’s strength was considerable, and on Volcanic Island, apart from Leon, no one could match it—even the adult Red Dragon Anglistra, nicknamed Lady Magma Maw, was no equal. Anglistra was presently tending the flames in Leon’s Alchemy Room and had no way of confronting it.
A squad of Salamanders launched an attack on the Kraken but was swept away entirely by its tentacles. If not killed outright, they were crippled. The remaining Salamanders could only keep their distance and hurl spears at the Kraken, but those massive, human-sized spears were mere toothpicks in front of the colossal Kraken.
Tassera, as a Blue Dragon immune to lightning, took an attack from the Kraken’s Lightning Beam unharmed. However, her own Lightning Breath failed to injure the Kraken in any way.
