"This doesn't… No man, the thin one!"
"Oops"
Consumer: Marc Omal
Potion: Vaporizer
Effect: Significantly improve the effectiveness of fire damage you cast towards water and vice versa.
Time left: 5 minutes
"Aw, that was meant for me." Pearl facepalmed himself.
"My bad, my bad, my bad."
Rioul then picked another one that looked like the other one, but thinner and had a smaller lit. Threw that at Marc.
Consumer: Marc Omal
Potion: Vaporize Resistance.
Effect: Significantly reduces the damage taken from vaporize effect.
Time left: 5 minutes.
"Pearl, Mei, right now!" Marc called out.
"Elemental Spell: Fireball"
"Elemental Spell: Fireball!"
Mei and Pearl both called out
Using their tank as a bait to hold off the spirit, letting him drink a vaporize resistance potion, then use fireballs to charge the spirit, the spirit's body is water so when water meets fire, it goes sizzle, vaporized.
The two fireballs flew at a medium speed, midair they merged into each other, creating one bigger ball, a miniature sun.
"Go back to the sewer." Marc smirks
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" The spirit screamed in pain as the two powerful fireballs flew right into its torso.
Steam from the evaporation flew all over the place, covering the entire floor. Which is only wide enough for 10 people.
"Cough"
"Damn, that still aches." Marc said as he backed up towards the team, a bit of his armor got brighter or got water on it.
They all got a laugh from that, especially about how Rioul wasted a perfectly good potion.
"Alright let's move ahead, we still haven't got any good loot."
"Hey, I can feel something." Rina said, as her eyes squinted, looking at the place where the spirit presumably died.
They all walked towards the steamy fog left by the vaporize session.
"What's that on the ground?" Pearl noticed something.
A blob of hard water is on the ground, almost looked like an ice slime, Mei picked it up to check the stats:
Item: Elemental Spirit's Solid Water.
Rank: B
Rarity: Epic
Direct consumption of this item will help the user wield the full power of Water Elemental Spirit for one hour. Can increase its ability if used differently, methods unknown.
Only drops if there is one or more powerful being(s) nearby.
"I have never seen this before." Pearl said in a bit of confusion.
"Direct consumption... Do we have to drink this? After it's been on the ground?" Rina said with a disgusted expression.
"This thing seems more powerful than what meets the eye." Marc said, I gave the item to him.
"How so?" Rioul asked
"Think of it like this, if it said "wield the magic power of...", only magic users can use it. If it said "wield the physical form of..." then there would be a lot of problems such as how to control yourself if you turned into water." Marc explains what he thought.
Mei blinks rapidly in amazement, she then adds:
"You can wield the full power of the Water Elemental Spirit, which means there's no problem controlling it right? And for one hour, that's more than enough to cause havoc in a city."
"You guys seem to take down the thing pretty easily though." Rioul continues on asking.
"The spirit we fought is nothing, only things it knows is rage, this dungeon and killing." Rina steps on the ground as she's stepping on the thing.
"If an experienced combat user, preferably an Assassin, got their hand on it, they can dodge the fire magic easily, or smarter yet, create holes in the water and let the fireball fly right through it. Then what to rely on? Swords and arrows that passed through water?" Pearl says, as he looked at Rioul.
"Wait, but how about the last line?" Marc's still trying and analyze the item's potential, looks at the last description, confused.
Only drops if there is one or more powerful being(s) nearby.
"Does that suggest..."
There is a powerful being nearby. Or more.
"What should we do then? Are we powerful enough to face off a powerful being?" Mei asks, as she saw Rioul putting the item in their backpack, in the loot compartment.
"We barely made any progress, we have to head forwards." Pearl answers
"Barely any progress? This blob of water we got maybe worth more than my entire life savings!" Mei immediately refuses to take that as an answer.
"What are you, crazy? Are you suggesting we should sell this powerful item to some sketchy black market dudes for like 5.000 gold coins? And regrets as cities are getting destroyed and lives in ruins when they know how to use the power to its fullest?" Pearl starts arguing with Mei.
Can increase its ability if used differently, methods unknown.
"Why is the first thing you think of is illegal merchants? You're always like this, stop being so paranoid! We could sell it to the Adventure Guild too. They probably can keep it better than we could ever do!" Mei exclaims back at Pearl.
"Calm down..." Rina tried to stop them.
"The Adventure Guild? Those disdainful idiots that once took our Rare wind crystals because they seem to be "illegal and stolen"? Yeah THAT Adventure Guild? The one that probably will take credit for this Epic item?" Pearl, now getting closer, expresses his worries.
"Oh so that's worse than move forward, probably witnessing a dragon or an invincible lich that will tear us down in a matter of SECONDS!" Mie, who is not afraid to confront the tall guy, stands right in front of him.
"Captain, can I shoot these two?" Rina turned around and asked Marc.
"How would there be dragons and Liches in a castle-type dungeon? Fine! Rioul, bring the item outside, bury it 6 feet deep somewhere, then we'll proceed, if anything bad happens, I'll take responsibilities." Pearl looked over to him.
"Like hell you will!" Mei grabs Pearl by the shirt "We fought for it, it's a one of a kind item! If we're not selling it, at least we have to keep it and we are not getting rid of it. Who knows if the water from that thing will leak into the earth and make a more powerful monster or not? And you? Pearl Magmal, taking responsibilities? I have a better chance of solo killing a dragon!"
