Rae was in a glorious mood now that she had fulfilled her promise to Sybil.
There were also many upcoming battles with the strange rhino things, and they were fun to pick on. But the real moment of glory came from Remi.
[You know, making wine is a bit like making potions. I bet that I could brew you some blood wine out of that if you think it smells good. Just put it in one of these large jars and I will get it started.] Remi offered.
[How long will it take?] Rae asked hopefully.
[According to the book, it takes a month for wine to be ready. I don't know if blood wine is the same, but it should be something like that. Then it can be aged to mellow the flavour. If you have enough, I have an empty ale keg in here, and we can age it in the charred wood like a fine liquor.]
Rae thought about that. A smoky, woody flavour might be nice.
[Let's do it. I've got enough bodies for a barrel already.]
With so much to do, researching blood wine, crafting the first batch, and trying to balance the flavours while guessing what both Rae and Mick would like, Remi sat out the next battle, and just sent her bodyguards to help out on her behalf.
There were only like fifty of the monsters anyhow. Five on one was easy work for the team.
The monsters had been out of the spawn area for quite a while, and they had mostly split up into smaller groups. So, while there were hundreds or thousands of them in the area, they only had to fight a few dozen at a time.
The real question was: Where did they come in from? Normally, a number of monsters would stay near the anomaly, and there was a chance that the anomaly would produce more of them over time if it didn't destabilize.
Tessa hopped up onto the bench beside Karl. "Why don't we switch? I will watch Thor and you can rest."
Karl smiled. "Alright. I need to meditate and work on my power level. Enjoy your ride. Just remind Thor that he has to alert the rest of us if there is trouble."
Then, he went to the [Tiny World] where everyone else was relaxing, and settled into one of Rae's hammock swings to work on his power growth.
Dana came over to join him, and the two spent the rest of the day side by side, focused on growing their power. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Karl wasn't sure if he should move beyond the stage of the mental formations that he was on right now. The dragon visualization had worked so well that he didn't want to mess it up when he was so close to the Totem Ranked advancement.
His power was right on the border between Ranks now, and if he had a Totem Ranked repository of power, he could purge his power again and step right through. But he didn't have one, so he was working on condensing the power in his body, hoping to force a quality advancement.
After the prolonged battle with Tiffani, the Totem Ranked Vampire, Karl knew just what the power should feel like. He just couldn't quite get it right in practice.
