"yeah, Forget about it then." Frank apoke in a mocking tone.
"What ?" Samantha asked in confusion.
"I was merely wishing you good luck for your turn and hoping you'll defeat him, Madam." Frank casually remarked.
"I require no luck to crush a Weak Commoner like him. I am the daughter of Witch Household." Samantha replied with unwavering confidence.
'Yeah, yeah, give it your best shot, you stupid blabbering girl. Even the king would struggle to take him down now and you, a dishwasher faced girl, believe you can triumph over such a monster. Quite amusing you stupid kid." Frank thought, a faint smile playing on his lips as he turned his attention back to the screen.
'But what will you do now, Anon? Your mana is running low, and I doubt there's a spell in the whole world that can replenish it rapidly." Frank contemplated as he observed anon running towards the desert.
[Critical Alert: Mana Remaining 10%, Mana Fatigue will initiate.]
A screen popped up in front of anon. The screen was shining crimson red, altering anon of his mana loss.
[Stamina Boost skill time over. Available again in 4:59 seconds.]
Another screen popped up in front of anon.
"Cease all current skills, i am using right now." Anon commanded.
In an instant, every skill he had been utilizing came to a halt, and the crimson red flames that enveloped his body extinguished in an instant.
Anon halted just a few steps shy of the desert's entrance and settled himself on the ground.
"Huh? What is this? Am I seeing this correctly?" Landon exclaimed in surprise.
"No, Landon, your eyesight is perfectly fine. This lad named Anon has stopped running. He's sitting on the ground near the desert's entrance. I'm not sure what's going through his mind, but something seems amiss," Seraphina explained.
"Why did he stop?"
"What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly halt?"
"Has he run out of mana?"
"Perhaps he's out of stamina?"
Various conversations erupted within the crowd as everyone observed Anon, motionless on the ground, casting his gaze back at the path he had traversed.
'That Commoner leapt across the valley in a single bound. Just how strong is he? Am I truly so feeble? Can I accomplish the same feat? What are his limits? Can i defeat him in a 1v1 match ?' Luna pondered, her thoughts consumed by the enigma that was Anon.
"Huh? Is that...?" As Luna sprinted at full speed, hoping to catch up with Anon, she caught sight of a figure seated on the side of the road, looking at her coming towards him.
Closing the distance between them, her suspicions were confirmed as she passed by Anon without sparing him a second glance because her speed was too high to observe anything in the way.
"Why is he sitting there? Is something amiss? Has he depleted his mana? Or perhaps his stamina?" Luna's mind was filled with questions previously but now it overflowed with questions upon witnessing this sight.
"Oh, damn. Don't tell me he's mocking me? Is he trying to show the world that he can catch up to me, even when I'm hundreds of kilometers ahead oh him, whereas I failed to do the same when he left me behind? That must be the only reason he stopped. He wants to prove that I'm nothing more than a helpless puppy. I won't allow it. I must run faster if I want to win. How arrogant can a man be?" Luna mused, a whirlwind of thoughts swirling through her mind while Anon patiently waited for his skill cooldown to reset at the desert's starting point.
[Skill Cooldown: 10]
A screen showed the cooldown for his skill.
"Excellent," Anon remarked as he opened his inventory, retrieving an item from his inventory and revealing it to the audience.
A purple potion, stored within a golden bordered glass bottle.
"Is my eyesight deceiving me? Or Is that an actual Special Grade Mana Potion?" Landon exclaimed, astounded.
"What the...? A special grade potion?"
"Unbelievable! It must be a fake, I swear. It's a counterfeit, no doubt."
"Haha...he thinks he can fool us with these cheap tricks."
The crowd buzzed with discussions about the potion, if it was real or fake.
"No, Landon, have you lost your mind? A special grade mana potion is a rare find, even for the wealthiest traders in the kingdom. Do you honestly think a Commoner could possess one? I'm certain it's nothing more than a regular mana potion, dyed purple and stored inside a counterfeit, golden adorned bottle," Seraphina quickly retorted.
The audience returned to their normal state upon hearing Seraphina's words.
"Ha, she's right. How could a poor kid like him have something my own father doesn't? He's just putting on a show at this point.". A rich trader's son spoke.
"He thought he could deceive us, but little did he know that after consuming any potion, the same color emits from your body that the potion is originally made of. If it were a normal mana potion, his body would radiate a brilliant blue light," a teacher explained.
"Teacher, what if he tampered with that as well?" a noble child inquired.
"Son, that's the one thing that cannot be altered with, even for the greatest magic user in the world, it's a really hard task." the teacher replied.
"Sigh, you costed me a fortune, my friend. You'd better deliver what the shop manager promised me." Anon muttered as he scrutinized the purple potion before him.
Gulp
He removed the cork from the glass bottle's top and began consuming the potion.
Instantly, a purple aura enveloped Anon's body, and a message materialized before him.
[100% of your mana has been restored, mana fatigue debuff has been lifted successfully.]
"Damn, this tastes like gutter water. But it did its job. Now it's time for me to complete my job," Anon declared, rising from the ground as another message appeared in front of him.
[Skill reset complete!!! Skill <Stamina Boost> now available.]
"Alright, let's continue then."
