"There was only enough to craft two, though. They're extremely rare and difficult to make—but incredibly potent."
"Awesome!" Ereskia grinned, taking one of the pills and popping it into her mouth. She bit down and chewed.
Nom nom nom.
"Ughhh!" She shuddered, sticking out her tongue slightly. "Tastes like ash… but definitely effective!"
Lucian chuckled, then turned to Larpard. "This will shield your mana core from environmental interference, reduce the effects of the dungeon's aura, and protect you against all kinds of mental attacks."
"Oh, that sounds amazing!" Larpard said eagerly.
He took the second pill and mimicked his sister, biting down and chewing.
Nom nom— "Uggghhh!" he groaned, shivering just like Ereskia. But after a moment, his eyes lit up.
"Whoa… I can feel it already! My body feels lighter! My head's clearer! Thank you, Guildmaster!"
"Don't mention it," Lucian replied with a small smile. "Now then. Are we all ready?"
Larpard nodded firmly. "Nn."
