Desperately Buying Time

"Haaaaaah"

Arvell exhaled deeply as he felt his strength leaving his body.

He felt a sharp pain emanating from his chest, but he was too weak even to move his arms at this point.

'At least that thing is finally dead.'

Arvell smiled softly at the realization of his victory.

"I won. I somehow won that."

Even if he voiced it aloud, he still found it hard to believe.

They really managed to take down a 2nd rank beast like that.

Arvell did it without expending any Aether nor Nether.

While he expended the remaining Aether in his systems, it was merely to escape in the end.

The actual act of killing the beast didn't require it.

His grade 1 'Limit Break' elixir seemed to do the job.

He only had one of these due to the immense rarity of the ingredients necessary to craft it.

After robbing bandits and finding the ingredients through pure dumb luck, he'd finally managed to craft one of them.

These elixirs were immensely hard to craft as well.
