[Ace POV],

It wasn't that it was my hands that were changing but instead, it was my entire body that was changing as I could tell that I was becoming and had perhaps become a little taller than I was before.

The thing was that I was tall before but when I stood up to see if my assumption was truly correct by standing in various positions, I was a little disoriented by my 'new' body.

This wasn't the only thing as there was black sticky gluey liquid on my body that smelled awful.

Although the smell was awful, the feeling it gave me from being on my body was very uncomfortable and I immediately hurried to the bathroom to have a bath.

**********

'I still don't feel clean but it's better now I suppose', I thought as I felt a little better than I was before i had a bath.

'At least the itch is also gone'

Apart from this, because of the bath I had, I was able to notice that my skin was way fairer than it was before and although it was not a bad thing, I couldn't help but feel it was useless although I did not know the changes that might have happened to my body, I would surely not want this to be part of the benefits of using the dragon potion.

It just felt...….so useless and unneeded.

As I thought of these odd thoughts, I turned to examine my body very well and when I saw that I couldn't see any noticeable change in my body apart from my height increasing, my skin getting smoother and my hair getting a little longer.

At first, I didn't want to believe it but when I saw that there was indeed no change noticeable from my appearance apart from the previously stated ones, I decided to see if they were a change in my body by manipulating my mana.

I did not try to bring out my elements and manipulate them just when I circulated my mana for a second, my body suddenly got coated in flames as the clothes I had just changed to burned.

'Hmmmm, That's unexpected?'

To think a day would come when I would lose control of circulating my mana just because it was too smooth.

Yes, because it was too smooth.

I don't how it happened but I was pretty sure that it was the dragon potion doing but anyway, apart from my circulating being more smoother than before, I was able to notice from my little exercise that my mana pool had increased but seeing as I couldn't experiment properly with my mana in the basement, I decided to just stay in the basement and focus on the other important thing on my mind.

Evolving.

Anna stood at a distance, watching in awe as the battle between the big 5-meter crow and the group of fire apes unfolded.

The crow was an impressive sight. Its black and silver feathers shimmered in the sunlight, and its sharp, beady eyes scanned the area for any sign of danger. It stood tall and proud, its wings spread wide, ready to take flight at a moment's notice. Its beak glistened in the sun, and Anna could see the faint traces of black, corrosive flames lingering around it.

She was currently hiding behind a particular tree with Mia in her hands as she stared at her contracted beast and a group of fire apes approach each other and started fighting immediately.

The fire apes, on the other hand, were a completely different sight. They were covered in flames that seemed to dance around their bodies, and their eyes glowed with intense, fiery light. They moved with incredible speed and agility, dodging the crow's attacks with ease.

As Anna watched, she could see the two sides engage in a fierce battle. The crow would swoop down, spitting black flames at the fire apes, and then retreat quickly to avoid being hit. The fire apes would counterattack, hurling balls of fire at the crow, hoping to hit their mark.

Anna couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as she watched the battle unfold. She had seen fights of this level countless times but she still could not help but appreciate a show of power that should be appreciated.

As the battle continued, Anna could see that the crow was starting to get tired. Its movements were becoming slower, and its attacks were less precise. The fire apes, on the other hand, seemed to be gaining strength with each passing moment. They moved with greater speed and agility, and their attacks were becoming more focused.

Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, the big 5-meter crow let out a deafening screech. Anna watched in amazement as the black, corrosive flames around its beak intensified, forming a thick, black cloud around it. The fire apes tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The crow had launched its final attack, and it was clear that it was a deadly one.

Anna watched as the black, corrosive flames consumed the fire apes, leaving nothing but charred remains in their wake. The crow stood tall and proud, victorious in its battle. It let out a final screech as if to declare its dominance over all who dared to challenge it.

The sight would have been better if it didn't almost fall from mid-air though.

She wasn't very concerned about this though as she was more focused on the panel in front of her.

'Tsk'

Looking at the particular monster in front of her, Emma could not help but click her tongue for the nth time in annoyance.

Emma had always known that her magic was powerful, but she had never been faced with a challenge like this before.

In front of her lay a massive snake, at least thirty feet long, with scales as dark as the night sky. Its eyes glinted with a sinister light, and Emma could feel its strong energy emanating from it.

[Rank 1 Venomous Snake Level 44],

'It scales are just too hard and at this rate, I'll run out of mana before I can fully penetrate Its defence', Emma thought as she continued to stare at the snake in front of her.

Thankfully, she had already done a number of damage to it.

Emma knew that she had to act quickly before the snake had a chance to strike.

She focused her energy, drawing upon the power of light magic that had been with her from the very beginning.

Her hands began to glow with soft, warm light, and she knew that she was ready to face the challenge ahead.

The snake lunged forward, its jaws gaping wide as it prepared to strike. Emma didn't flinch, however, she stood her ground, and with a flick of her wrist, she unleashed a beam of pure light straight at the snake.

The beam struck the snake square in the chest, and Emma could feel the force of the impact ripple through the air. The snake recoiled, its body writhing as it struggled to regain its footing. Emma didn't let up, however. She continued to unleash beam after beam of light magic, each one striking the snake with devastating force.

The snake was a formidable opponent, however, and it was not going down without a fight. It hissed and lunged forward again and again, each time narrowly missing Emma as she dodged and weaved around it. She was getting tired, however, and she knew that she could not keep this up for much longer.

Just when it seemed like all was lost, Emma had an idea. She focused all of her energy into a single, concentrated beam of light magic, and she aimed it straight at the snake's head. The beam struck the snake right between the eyes, and Emma could see the creature falter for just a moment.

She seized the opportunity, and with a burst of energy, she leapt forward, her hands aglow with light magic. She landed right on the snake's head, and with a final burst of power, she sent a beam of light straight down into the snake's body.

The snake let out a deafening roar as it writhed in agony. Emma could feel the heat and energy pouring off of it, and she knew that it was only a matter of time before the creature succumbed to her light magic.

With one final burst of power, Emma sent a beam of light straight through the snake's heart. The creature let out a final, pitiful whimper, before collapsing in a heap at Emma's feet.

Emma stood there for a moment, catching her breath as she suddenly thought of something that immediately got her moving.

'Chris!'

'I wonder if he's......

'Huh?'

Meanwhile in the alternate dimension, Ace was currently reading the content on the blue panel in front of him again as he held the bottle that was filled with the ancient dragon blood.
