Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 87: Nectar?
Chapter 87: Nectar?
Melinoë gently observed Atlas and spoke gently:
"There are five drops of Nectar in it, Atlas."
"Nectar?" Atlas muttered, unable to express his astonishment.
The food of the gods. According to some sources, it was a strange fermented watery and honeyed drink, according to some sources, it was a food, a fruit that even gods and goddesses could hardly reach.
It was a food that had the properties of making mortals immortal and the gods and goddesses more lush and powerful.
One drop was enough to buy perhaps half of the Epsilon Empire. Atlas, on the other hand, had swallowed five drops of the drink in his stomach in an instant.
He felt stupid for not savouring and drinking it slowly with pleasure.
"You can’t feel it right now, but you’re also getting a massive infusion of mana into your body. At least you’ll get what you want," Hecate said.
Atlas, on the other hand, even though he was happy, was upset that they used this valuable supply for him, even in front of the gods and goddesses. It was very sweet of them to help Atlas when they could benefit themselves.
"Well..." Atlas muttered.
Melinoë smiled gently and patted Atlas on the back, "We are witches, and if you think we can’t create bottles of Nectar, you are wrong. Magic is almost omnipotent, Atlas, do not forget."
Atlas smiled and then said, "Understood, my lady." and realised that he shouldn’t whine.
Immediately after that, he stood up and decided that he had to go, but at that moment he was stopped by Artemis and said, "Don’t go so fast, come, let’s teach you something."
Atlas, on the other hand, sat back down with great excitement and began to listen carefully.
Selene, who had not spoken until that moment, started to look at Atlas and then said, "I am different from the others. I am the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, one of the first Titans of Creation, which makes me one of Hecate’s ancestors, a second generation titan."
While Atlas was thinking about what he should understand from these words, Selene stretched her finger on the table and then an image began to form on the table...or rather, not an image, but a rune that was constantly moving.
"This is what I will teach you. As I’ve been watching you carefully, I’ve noticed your skill in the use of runes, but you’re seriously lacking, Atlas." Selene added to herself.
Immediately after that, she began to explain:
"Drawing a rune and leaving it in place reduces its quality and durability tremendously. To support the rune continuously, it would be much more accurate to be able to move the rune, and even directly into your body when possible. This is something I say for a combat situation."
"Here’s what I want you to do: When you return to the real world, think of a rune, a low-level rune so you can get used to it quickly. Then, instead of crafting the rune directly, add a movement scheme to the rune. This will be a very difficult thing at first. It will feel like you’re crafting one rune on top of another. It will require more mana and you will fail, but if you succeed, it will increase your combat ability by at least three times."
"Once you have succeeded in adding rune upon rune, calmly activate the rune and move as much as possible. Let the rune you have created follow you, constantly run around the room, when you lose contact with the rune, do it again, fail and continue."
With that, Selene finished her words and with that, the elemental runes began to move around.
There were runes flying around and releasing lightning, fire, water and similar elements, even if they were small.
It was a eye-catching sight, and beyond that, it was a smiling sight. What magic could do, the knowledge of the gods and goddesses was truly priceless, Atlas now understood the value of the book Hecate had given him. Of course he appreciated it, but... he was a little sad that he hadn’t gained a skill.
Since Atlas couldn’t create the runes properly now, this time he really stood up and after ten minutes of the rune lesson, he shook his head and said that he wanted to leave.
At that moment, he heard something he never expected:
"Hey, if you ever manage to become a god, young man, I’d like to sit down and have a drink with you one day."
When Artemis uttered these words, before Atlas could ask what she was talking about, it was very sad that his eyes darkened and he woke up in the real world.
"Oh...COME ON!!!" shouted Atlas as soon as he came to.
"Does anyone know what’s going on? You were all watching, weren’t you?" he added to his question. Still, there was no answer coming back.
"ARE YOU GUYS SHITTING ME?!?!?!" Atlas shouted again, getting incredibly angry when something was said and not followed up.
"Lady Nyx, hellooo????"
One curious shout after another went unanswered and he chose to ignore it, getting up from his seat and going to bed. frёeωebɳovel.com
The Nectar in the drink he drank was still giving him more mana. He already had enough mana in his body to create the fourth magic ring.
This was excellent news, but Atlas didn’t want to do it now. Of course he would create the fourth magic ring, but first he wanted to meet with the person he needed to meet for the aura.
And to be honest, just like Cordelia had said, he was a little scared of the risk of his body exploding, after all, even if it wasn’t a serious or close danger, his body was close to collapsing, and he couldn’t face that.
At least his magic was making his body in a bad way. After all, aura was something that naturally strengthened the body.
That’s exactly why he started to think. About who to choose. After a short elimination in his mind, he was stuck between two names and that’s exactly why he started to wait where he was with a really superior focus.
It was like he did not know who to choose between these two.
