Chapter 47: "That sounds great..."
Leo’s taste buds were in a frenzy. Each of the pill had a distinctive taste. If Leo had been asked to describe the tastes,shitty would be best word to use.

"Wait...!"
"Why minor poison and not antidote...?"
The last ability had caught him off guard. Leo accessed his status panel as to find more details on the new abilities. He chuckled as he debated wether to inform the merchant of his three new abilities. He pictured the man coughing up several mouthfuls of blood,and his face paling.
"No...!"
Leo said as he suppressed the dark side of his.

Leo accessed the three new abilities.
[Minor Rejuvenation: A passive ability that kicks in restoring thirty percent of energy and stamina when they dop to twenty-five percent...]
"This is a game changer..."
Leo could now fight to his heart content without worrying of exhaustion and energy depletion.
[Minor Heal: A passive healing ability that activates whenever injured, converting energy into healing power. The effectiveness and speed on healing depends on the injury or wound sustained...]
"Heavens blessings..."
Leo happily grinned. With the combination of his these two abilities,he no longer had to care about minor injuries sustained in battle.
[Minor Poison: An active ability derived from injecting poison. The ability generates a mortal ranked poison,lethat to everyone and everything below the earth stage,and less effective to higher stages. The poison can be generated as a pill,fluid or mist, depending on the users will and energy spent...]
Leo had an evil grin as he looked at the center of the mysterious tower’s first floor.
"You just wait for me..."
Leo said as he swallowed the blood essence regeneration pill. As for the effectiveness of the minor rejuvenation ability,he could already feel it,as his fatigue was slowly fading away.
System Alert: You have injested a taboo pill, blood essence regeneration pill...

System Alert: You have injested a taboo pill, blood essence rejuvenation pill..
System Alert: You have gained the passive ability,Devour.
Leo was dazed.
"What happened to my drop of blood essence...!"
Leo had expected to regenerate his exhausted drop of blood essence and not this.
[Devour: An active ability that enables the host to devour other beings...]
"Just that...!"
Leo did not know what to do. This time,the system had dealt him a dirty one.
"The only way to learn of this abilities capabilities is by using it..."
Leo was silent for minutes as he debated on wether to clear the tower floors or head out in search of preys to devour.
"The minor rejuvenation seems to be counterbalancing the fatigue from the blood essence exhaustion..."
Leo could feel his body falling into some kind of balance between the exhaustion and the rejuvenation.
"But this is not for me to exact my fighting power..."
Leo weighed his options. Though he wanted to try out the new ability,out there,he did not know what danger he would come across,and with his strength affected by the exhaustion of his blood essence,he was not willing to risk his life. As for the mysterious tower,he was granted to walk out alive even if he ended up loosing against the formation spawned opponents.
But these were just formations, though there would be experience points gained,there was no way his ability could devour the formations.
"Let first grow my strength..."
Leo decided as he opted for the tower,but first,he headed out and retreived the iron blade from Gemini. To Leo’s surprise, the little boy had replicated two more blades,but had used no extra iron ores. When asked,he informed Leo that a voice in his head told him that he had achieved a fifty percent efficiency in replicating iron, which resulted in him using less iron ores per replication.
"Great work boy..."
Leo said as he ruffled the little boy’s hair. The boy’s ability never seemed to stop amazing Leo. The potential for growth was eminent. Amongst the current group,this little boy was going to make waves.
"Big brother will make you some pancakes later..."
Leo had promised as he had the boy replicate a third iron blade for himself,and hand over the other two to Hu and Fort. As for the merchant,he already had a sword of his own.
"I will be back before dinner..."
Leo informed the little boy.
"Go tell the merchant that he and his wife are in charge of dinner..."
Leo did not have the guts of ordering a pregnant woman to make them dinner,or for her husband to bring out his stash of wine. That why he sent Gemini.
The merchant wife was a level two chef.
"Her cooking must be heavenly as compared to that witch..."
