Book 13: Chapter 53
The mana dissolving potion was just an ordinary liquid to Nier and Lucia. Wait, no, correction. Lucia would probably die on the spot as I did if she drank it. However, it was basically lava to the flood corpses outside. It was the same as Altair to water, because they’d instantly dissolve.
The mana dissolving potion spilt onto a flood corpse’s foot, and the flood corpse instantly dissolved, starting from its foot until nothing remained. It completely melded in with the liquid on the floor. The mana dissolving potion dispersed on the deck leisurely as opposed to aggressively. Only half of the flood corpses were still moving about, albeit slowly. It melted any flood corpses it made contact with. The flood corpses were clueless as to what happened. All that was left for them to do was wait to be erased from existence. Nier was so stunned that she had no words.
I pushed the door open. The sea breeze and ice-cold droplets of water splashed onto my face. I stepped outside. The Valkyries, who were on the deck huffing and puffing, blankly watched the flood corpses vanish right before their eyes. They had no idea what happened. They probably perceived the red liquid spreading across the deck to be blood. The flood corpses were dissolved as fast as they overtook the deck. The Valkyries swiftly dispatched the remaining flood corpses, and we reoccupied the deck.
“Your Majesty…”
“Lucky, lucky. I thought the flood corpses were complete mana entities and would be dissolved…”
“That’s not entirely true. Some of them can still move, albeit very few of them.”
Lucia looked at the dissolving agent on the ground and treaded carefully, as the mana dissolving potion on the ground was lethal to her and I.
“We’ve overcome our plight, then. I still have a few bottles of mana dissolving potion. I want to go and assist the other ship,” I said.
I ran to the edge of the deck. The initially calm waters had turned tempestuous. Big waves moved our ship forward but in a most rocky manner. The waves smashed onto the sides of our ship, splashing white stinky water all over us. I wiped the water off my face. It was virtually impossible to hang onto the rails, for they were wet.
