My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 115

Kisha felt an overwhelming urge to grab Bell and plant a kiss on it to express her sheer joy. In her previous life, mastering a few skills from her ability had already made her formidable, but now, armed with this new cheat item, she felt invincible. Yet, this newfound power came with a weighty responsibility.

The item was potent enough to warrant going to war over, adding layers of secrecy and caution to her already complex life.

It’s no surprise that the Murim world is obsessed with the Scarlet Bee and Scarlet Honey; Kisha’s firsthand experience only deepened her understanding of their allure. She never anticipated such remarkable effects; they were akin to treasures surpassing even the toughest alloys and most potent panaceas in the world.

Before Duke could utter another word that might irk Kisha, she grabbed his hand and whisked him into the room, shutting the door firmly behind them to ensure privacy. Once inside, she pulled Duke to sit beside her on the bed, her excitement overshadowing any consideration of their close proximity and the potentially ambiguous atmosphere it created.

Despite her excitement, Kisha found herself torn between sharing the newfound information with Duke or keeping it to herself for now.

Part of her wanted to be petty, considering how Duke had annoyed her, and she relished the idea of surprising him with a better, more efficient path to strength—one that didn’t demand excessive time and could potentially bolster their foundation in ways the conventional methods couldn’t.

As much as Kisha relished the idea of teasing Duke and witnessing his surprised and frustrated expression, she couldn’t ignore the potential repercussions on his future development. She refused to jeopardize Duke’s potential and future for the sake of petty revenge.

Realizing how carefree she had become lately, she took a deep breath, pushed aside all playful thoughts swirling in her mind, and shifted into serious mode.

Raising the glass of Scarlet Honey in front of Duke, Kisha began, "You probably already have an idea of what this is." Her mysterious smile caused Duke to gulp nervously. "This is the Scarlet Honey collected by Bell’s hive, but it’s no ordinary honey." However, she remembered Duke’s concerns when she was lost in reverie, mistakenly thinking she might be under the influence of drugs.

"But let me assure you, Duke, this isn’t a drug or anything of the sort, so don’t jump to conclusions."

Upon hearing her reassurance, Duke breathed a sigh of relief, his nerves calming as he nodded at Kisha, silently urging her to continue.

As Kisha continued, she felt a surge of indignation at Duke’s fleeting suspicion, but she pushed it aside to deliver her explanation. "The Scarlet Honey not only clears our dantian, making spiritual absorption faster and more efficient, but it also acts as a multiplier.

This means that when we consume crystal cores, we won’t need as many to level up." Pausing to catch her breath, she continued with excitement, "But that’s not all! The honey also strengthens our foundation, reducing the time needed to consolidate it before leveling up. Its benefits are numerous—it’s essentially the ultimate elixir for enhancing our battle strength."

Duke quickly grasped the implications of Kisha’s explanation, nodding with restrained excitement. However, he couldn’t shake the realization that this newfound resource would be a double-edged sword for him and his team.
