Chapter 257: Personification of Mortality
[Yes, fuck indeed.]
Jason chuckled at the system’s response while looking in the direction Queen Hesabeth had gone. The subordinates Jason sent to follow Hesabeth just reported that she went through a portal to another world, and Jason told them not to follow her. Jason didn’t have anything against the woman since she didn’t show senseless hostility towards him, but the system’s words made Jason certain that the both of them would be meeting again very soon. Jason just had to make sure that their next meeting was more friendly than this one. After all, it was good to have powerful allies.
’Especially when they are the favourite child of the Primordial Expanse.’
Jason decided that he had been distracted enough, and he threw his sword back into his Alternate Dimension, telling all his subordinates to spread out and look for any enemies in the area. The subordinates accepted the order and began scouting the region before Jason reached inside his Alternate Dimension and grabbed the [Banshee’s Tears]. There were a few other artefacts in Jason’s Alternate Dimension that the Phantoms had stolen from the BloodRaven guild during their earlier search, but Jason ignored all of them for now.
Jason could feel the heart of the Lich reacting the moment he brought out the [Banshee’s Tear], and it was almost like they were gravitating towards each other without Jason even doing anything. Jason gently brought them both closer, and the Banshee’s Tear suddenly jumped out from his fingers and slammed into the Lich’s Heart in his other hand! A bright light filled the clearing, and Jason put his free hand up to his eyes until the light finally died down a few seconds later. Jason looked down at the Lich’s heart, and he saw that the crystal had hollowed out on the inside, and it was now filled with a strange blue liquid that sloshed around like jelly.
Jason immediately activated [Appraisal] to see if the artefacts had combined properly.

Elixir of Life
Rank: S
Durability: ∞
Description: A potion created by combining the Heart of an Immortal Lich with the A Rank Artefact [Banshee’s Tears]. The difficulty of creating this potion is low due to the high affinity between the ingredients used to make it. When in close proximity, the ingredients naturally gravitate towards each other, and the potion is created once they combine. The potion can be used to resurrect [1] mortal and prevent their soul from travelling to the River of the Afterlife. In order to ensure the potion is effective, the dead mortal must still possess their soul.
