"Is there something wrong?" Nathan felt something was going on. It was the first time he had seen Xolotl and Qilin showing such concern.
Qilin explained, "In your vision, you will probably see nothing but a crystal clear liquid. However, if you are a beast, you can instinctively sense this liquid.
"This liquid might be able to achieve what you want, but it doesn't affect the elements. It will only calm down the ena in your body. You can probably say it's like an anesthetic.
"Your body will be induced to sleep, which will calm down the ena. For two conflicting energies, it will be like a ceasefire, but not a fusion.
"In addition, it will only affect you for a short period of time. While it's true what they say about the medicine being able to help someone to fuse with their familiars, the elemental fusion you actually want is practically close to none."
"What? So, the medicine is fake?" Nathan's heart sank. He thought this would be a good gift, but it looked like he had to choose a different gift.
"Not necessarily." Xolotl reassured him. "It is indeed true that you won't achieve the desired effect with this medicine, but I have told you prior to this that achieving a fusion is much more complicated than this.
"If we are talking about two elemental cores like you have, but with my elemental system, then this medicine will be completely useless.
"However, the elements you summoners have are usually coming from the familiars. This medicine should be able to help with that.
"But one might not be enough."
"How many do you need?" Nathan asked without hesitation. The one who needed it the most was Evelyn, so Nathan would prioritize it for Evelyn if necessary.
"Five should be enough. If the girl you are about to introduce is less talented than what I heard, then you might need more."
"I see." Nathan let out a sigh of relief. He thought it was useless, so he had been wondering what other gifts he could present.
"But to make sure of my assessment, you should take one right now." Xolotl raised two fingers. "You currently have two big problems. From what I heard, you have only made a crystal armor for that big wolf, so using this one should allow you to make several of them.
"Or you can use this medicine in preparing your domain. It looks like you are planning to have one, correct?"
"Hmm…" Nathan had to consider it carefully. On the one hand, he could just take two of them for himself, but he wanted to give them to Selena and the others once they returned.
If he took two and Evelyn took five, Selena and the others would also take five. He could still give it to his teacher and his student, and the last one could be reserved. But that would depend on how much Evelyn needed.
After some consideration, Nathan suggested, "I believe I will take one first. Right now, I'm planning to meet Evelyn and ask her to teach me about space magic.
"While you are able to give advice on the magic system itself, you are unable to tell me the exact details about the space or time elements, can you, Xolotl?"
"Indeed." Xolotl nodded. "I only plan to teach you the basics of the magic system because I know that you have the imagination from all the stories you have read to do the rest."
"In that case, I will take the second one if Evelyn only needs 5 vials."
"Don't you think it's too much? I mean, I understand that you are trying to be generous, and her life is indeed at stake. However, don't forget that you are the one responsible for creating the medicine in the first place.
"A gift is a gift, not a charity. In other words, you should be prioritized, not others." Xolotl crossed his arms.
"That is true, but I won't be able to do this alone, Xolotl. I will need people's help if I want to fight the alien race. I'm sure you know this as well."
"Then, let's just hope that they are talented enough for it."
Nathan nodded. "In the worst-case scenario, I will just search for more ingredients."
"Whatever. Proceed with the medicine right now. Judging from its potency, it should be effective for 4 hours for you. I will assist you during that time."
"Assist me?"
"You don't think you already know everything about the world fragment, do you?"
"Have I been missing something?" Nathan frowned.
"It is easier to show it to you, so just drink the medicine."
Nathan was a bit suspicious, but Xolotl wouldn't harm him, so he picked up a vial and drank it.
He could feel the refreshing taste of morning dew as the liquid was cooling down his entire body.
Even though Qilin said it was similar to an anesthetic, it was only effective against the ena, not his body.
The ena circulation slowed down significantly, and the vigor they usually showed had completely vanished.
Nathan could feel that he could do whatever he wanted with his ena thanks to the medicine.
"Sit down and close your eyes," Xolotl instructed.
Nathan's vision turned black, his mind focusing on everything Xolotl said.
"First, summon that wolf in the armor form."
The objective was to make as much crystal armor as possible, but it was surprising that Xolotl wanted Fenrir, who already had the form.
Nevertheless, he summoned Fenrir in the crystal form.
"Now, you should be able to feel his power, which comes from the fragment only on his body, not yours. That's how you have been utilizing it this whole time. While it's not wrong, it's incomplete."
"Incomplete?"
"That's right. According to your memory, the people in this world believed that summoners were chosen people who gained the ability to attract ena, but that was wrong.
"Summoners are humans who get entangled with the world fragment. Familiars like me are not the fragments but stored information inside that fragment.
"The reason you are able to become a summoner only after a certain age is not because your ena has finally matured. It is because your body has accepted the fragment inside your body completely. And now, it's time for you to utilize that fragment properly."
