Chapter 308 - Promotion to Witch
Inside the Witch’s Laboratory.
After two failed attempts, Suna finally managed to produce the B bottle of the Magic Addiction Potion.
This magic potion had a certain success rate. Even with the exact same formula, dosage, temperature, and reaction time, it could still fail due to some unknown factor.
That factor might even be related to the specific timing of when it was created. For example, perhaps it had to be made at midnight.
Suna speculated inwardly.
Fortunately, she had succeeded. She had only failed twice before obtaining the finished product.
Now, she had two bottles of Magic Addiction Potion, labeled A and B. As long as she consumed them, there was a chance she could advance to the extraordinary level.
With the assistance of her equipment and the potions, her Spirit attribute would break through 10 points.
Suna stared at the two bottles of potion, feeling a little hesitant.
To be honest, she was still somewhat afraid of becoming bald. If that happened, she would no longer be able to face anyone...
“If you dare laugh at me, I’ll shave off every bit of hair on your body!”
Suna thought fiercely.
On the deck, Yang Yi, who had just finished opening the gacha, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. He looked around cautiously.
“What’s going on?”
He frowned, feeling as if a wave of malice had suddenly swept toward him.
Inside the laboratory.
After hesitating for a while, Suna finally decided to drink the potion.
According to the information written on the bottle, witches would receive a special effect after consuming it. It might even cause certain changes.
She checked her current condition.
All her attributes were healthy:
Vitality: 92
Energy: 67Sanity: 73
After confirming that everything was normal, she drank bottle A first, then immediately followed it with bottle B.
【You have consumed the Magic Addiction Potion. Spirit +1. Your magic power has been restored to its maximum value. This effect only activates the first time you consume it. Special effect activated...】
Suna’s crimson eyes widened in disbelief.
At the same time, her black hair began to turn white at the roots. Her entire body slowly floated into the air.
【Your extraordinary path has undergone a transformation. You have obtained the extraordinary path, Witch Who Has Begun to Peek into the Truth. Your appearance has changed. Sanity decreased by 40...】
On the deck, Yang Yi had just finished organizing the firearms and other spoils of war. Looking at the piles of rat fur stacked up like several small mountains on the dock, he felt troubled.
Throwing this stuff away would be a waste, but turning it into armor would take far too much time. It was truly a useless burden!
While he was worrying, the deck of the Nightmare Star suddenly began to tremble.
It was as if an earthquake had occurred. The miscellaneous items placed on the deck even floated into the air, completely ignoring gravity for some unknown reason.
“What’s happening?”
Yang Yi immediately became alert. He activated his Third Eye and inspected the surrounding sea area and the open-air harbor.
There was nothing unusual.
The sea remained calm and peaceful, covered by a layer of black mist. It was practically a pool of stagnant water.
The only ripples came from the trembling of the Nightmare Star itself.
A small number of water droplets floated up around the ship. The rat fur piled on the dock also rose into the air, along with several skeleton house rats.
“Could it be...”
Yang Yi immediately realized that something had happened to the Nightmare Star.
The source of this abnormality might be coming from inside the ship itself.
“Damn!”
Yang Yi immediately tossed aside the item in his hand and rushed into the cabin in a few steps, heading straight toward the Witch’s Laboratory.
Inside the cabin, abnormalities similar to those on the deck were also occurring. Wooden barrels and various miscellaneous objects floated in the air.
The laboratory was even more chaotic.
Aside from the heavy metal table and a few heavier specimens, almost everything was suspended in midair.
Empty reagent bottles, test tubes filled with unknown liquids, empty syringes, tweezers, dissection tools, microscopes...
Even the Vitality Sardine Tree was floating.
It desperately kicked its legs, but unfortunately, all four limbs were already off the ground.
And in the center of the laboratory floated a woman with loose, flowing white hair and crimson eyes.
“Suna?”
Yang Yi shouted after recognizing her. At the same time, he opened the crew interface to check her condition.
“Sanity 33, Joyfulness...?” He raised his head and looked at Suna.
She was in a dazed state, her pupils unfocused and scattered.
“Suna, what are you doing?” Yang Yi shouted.
At the same time, without making it obvious, he quietly took away a floating syringe.
“I... I... I advanced to extraordinary heights!”
Suna finally reacted, her face an expression of wild joy.
“Yang Yi, listen to me. I advanced to extraordinary! I feel unbelievably good right now, better than ever before!”
Her voice was unusually high-pitched, and her expression was filled with excitement, as if she desperately wanted to share this happiness with Yang Yi.
The objects inside the Witch’s Laboratory began floating around chaotically in response to Suna’s emotions. They shot directly toward the ceiling, and even Yang Yi could feel a strange buoyant force pulling at him.
“Calm down. Look at me. What number is this?”
Yang Yi held up two fingers and asked.
Suna looked over and stared at him as if he were an idiot.
“Are you stupid? Asking this old lady such a question!”
Yang Yi frowned and spoke coldly.
“I’m asking you what number this is. Answer me!”
Suna replied with some annoyance.
“This is two.”
“Wrong. This is three. Your condition is abnormal. You need to rest for a while.”
The two fingers Yang Yi had raised suddenly became three.
“You’re cheating!”
Suna became slightly angry.
“I’m not. Your condition is abnormal, so you’re experiencing an illusion.”
“That’s impossible...”
Yang Yi immediately lunged forward.
While they had been talking, he had already finished preparing. He had filled a syringe with sleeping potion, intending to make Suna sleep for a while.
The plan went smoothly.
Suna did not react in time and was directly tackled and restrained.
“What are you doing?”
“Making you sleep for a while.”
“I’m not sleepy!”
“You’ll be sleepy soon.”
Yang Yi stabbed the needle into Suna’s arm and prepared to inject the sleeping potion, but she reacted violently.
“Let go of me!”
“Your condition is abnormal. You need to rest.”
“I feel great! Look!”
A dazzling fireball appeared in Suna’s hand.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a layer of frost began forming.
This was the Energy Gathering Ball, a magic spell Suna had learned while reading the Charred Black Book.
However, in her hands, this magic spell had undergone further changes. It rapidly shrank until it was only the size of a fingertip, floating above her palm.
The Witch’s Laboratory instantly became like the middle of winter.
The temperature dropped to minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius.
This fireball was extremely dangerous. Yang Yi could sense it clearly.
If he were hit by it, the consequences would not be something to laugh about.
“Suna, stop! Do you want to destroy the Nightmare Star?”
Yang Yi shouted.
At the same time, he did not stop his actions and injected the entire tube of sleeping potion into Suna’s body.
A powerful wave of drowsiness struck Suna’s mind, but she still refused to fall asleep and began resisting the effect.
“I told you I’m not sleepy!”
Suna’s eyelids struggled to stay open, but she stubbornly refused to give in.
“Let go of me. I still need to test this state...”
Yang Yi forcibly covered her mouth.
Her crimson eyes widened in surprise, but soon softened.
A moment later, she finally fell asleep.
“Phew. Luckily, I kept a backup plan. Increasing the dosage really worked.”
Yang Yi held another bottle of sleeping potion in his hand. It was already empty.
However, he quickly noticed that the energy ball in Suna’s hand had gone out of control and was beginning to emit a blinding light.
“Damn it!”
Yang Yi only had enough time to grab Suna’s right hand, adjust its direction, and force the energy ball away.
Boom!
A huge hole was blasted open on the left side of the Nightmare Star’s hull, directly connecting to the witch laboratory. At the same time, flames erupted outward.
“This... this can’t be blamed on me. You were the one who blew it up yourself.”
Yang Yi clicked his tongue helplessly.
He planned to explain everything after Suna woke up and ask her about the changes that had occurred in her body.
Hopefully, she will be able to recover from this out-of-control state.
