Prove it to me
The searing jet of Fire Lance Transmutation shot out from Victor’s crystallized Obsidian staff, slicing through the salt-heavy Corsican air, aimed directly at Jean Valéry."Jump!" Bastien yelled.Jean reacted with the brute force of his Transmuted Tidal core, his instincts screaming over the crystalline agony in his arm. He shoved Pierre out of the trajectory, simultaneously twisting his body sideways, just barely evading the crimson blast. The Fire Lance hit the rock face where Jean had stood milliseconds before. The impact was not an explosion but a soundless alchemical conversion—the granite shrieked, instantly calcified, turning into brittle, pale coral dust that showered the ground."He's slow!" Victor’s smug voice cut through the wind from the clifftop. Victor, protected by his Obsidium Transmutation and his elite, anti-alchemy ground unit, was confident. "Your Tidal Elixir is spent, Jean! Now you're just stiff salt! Shadow Fleet! Eliminate them!"Eight Cartel Transmutation-Grou

flee Corsica
The woman did not yield an inch, her small form rooted against the ethereal, bronze glow of the cave. She stood guard over the massive coral bowl—the Ancestral Vessel—where the droplet of pure gold liquid, the *Eternal Drop*, hovered. Her dark, ageless eyes locked onto Jean Valéry."Don't touch," she commanded, her voice smooth and unnervingly quiet in the chaotic background noise of Transmutation. "It isn't yours.""You already know who I am," Jean replied, his breath ragged, his focus fighting the draining cost of his earlier Obsidium Transmutation. He could feel the familiar, sickening pressure of Victor's Transmutation just outside the fractured cave entrance, Gaston's groans already audible on the comms. "I am L'Alchimiste Noir. I came to take what is required to end the Calcined Sea.""L'Alchimiste Noir is a symbol of *hubris*," she countered, tilting her head. "And your soul still rings with the guilt of Atlantis. Do not try to deceive the deep, Jean Valéry. The *Eternal Drop*

Take this ancestral recipe
The powerful counter-Transmutation pulse released by Jean’s Obsidian-reinforced Obeng shattered the Obsidian casing around Victor, crystallizing the treacherous former ally into an impossibly smooth block of solidified magma and elemental gold. The resultant sonic shockwave sent Jean staggering back against the rock face. The entire grotto entrance, already stressed by the dueling alchemies, groaned, shedding dust and gravel."Boss!" Gaston's powerful hand grabbed Jean's tunic, hauling him away from the still-pulsing Obsidian monument that was Victor. "What did you Transmute him into? He... he's solid. He didn't crack!"Lucie scrambled over, supporting Jean’s left side. Her gaze, hardened by their losses, swept over the inert block that now bore the distinct gold filigree marking of Jean's volatile catalyst. "He purified him, Gaston. This isn't Anti-Transmutation Salt. This is the Monument of Pure Ambition."Jean’s breath hitched in painful gasps. The pain in his arm was an electrical

Cartel Command Ship
The blast wave from the colliding elemental energies—Victor’s Transmuted Primordial Fire meeting Jean’s Obsidian-stabilized counter—slammed into Jean, but his immediate decision to absorb the kinetic force was calculated and absolute. He utilized his bronzed Obeng, now ringing with the gold signature of the Tetesan Abadi, plunging it into the Coral Basin.“I will take the Elixir,” Jean said, his words strained against the shockwave. He grabbed the Obsidian Gold from Gaston. “I will not be the Criminal King.”Jean immediately poured the Obsidian Gold into the Basin. He simultaneously injected the last dose of Bastien's stable Primordial Nerve Elixir into the core. A brilliant, almost blinding, white light erupted from the basin. Jean shielded his eyes, knowing the unstable energies had coalesced, ready to be refined.The Guardian, who had been an immobile shadow of ancient authority, laughed—a light, musical sound devoid of cynicism. “Excellent, Jean Valéry. Take this ancestral recipe.

internal Mediterranean fight
The shock wave of the Guardian’s Trisula blast—not a destructive force, but a hyper-focused stabilizing current—vibrated the Obsidium Gold in Jean’s bronzed Obeng. The energy flowed instantly, surging past his crystallized veins into his Ramuan Anti-Calcination Tertinggi (RAKT), which pulsed rapidly in the Bejana.“Jean Valéry,” Captain Neptunus’s roar, distorted by the advancing, Gold-Transmuted Frigates of the Shadow Armada, clawed through the sound-battered cavern. “I will destroy their Command Vessel! Jean Valéry!”Jean’s attention snapped back, split violently between the alchemical war outside and the volatile, newly formed RAKT in his hands. He knew Victor’s capture had been short-lived; the Transmutation he forced on Victor, intended to immobilize, must have only momentarily incapacitated the traitor before Victor recovered enough energy to report the location of the RAKT’s fo

Pierre!
—had become an Intercontinental problem. They saw the Black Sea Alchemist—The air inside the Auxiliary vessel instantly thickened, not from Sea Calcination Elixir, but from the choking wave of pure fear that ripped through the cabin. Jean Valéry, standing paralyzed at the helm, stared at the sonar display, the grim confirmation of his final tactical defeat: an Ohio-class US Naval Submarine, nuclear-powered and heavily armed, now sitting directly on the Gibraltar Nexus line, its tactical probe actively scanning the Calcination battlefield Jean had just neutralized."That... that's the American Shadow Fleet," Jean hissed, the Amethyst SACE pressing against his sternum, cold and hard. "They see us. And they know we're here.""Boss! A ballistic submarine?!" Gaston roared, slamming his fist onto the cargo partition. He grabbed the emergency axe, his entire Transmuted frame shuddering. "They aren't the Cartel, Jean! They aren't playing cheap alchemy!"Last Updated : 2025-12-22Read more

another anti-alchemy
The anti-Transmutation warhead exploded with a sickeningly dense crunch against the geologically unstable obsidian cliff face. The rock, already superheated by the duel between Victor’s Desert Transmutation and Jean’s Tidal countermeasure, groaned. Not a kinetic explosion, but a localized burst of alchemical negation—a dirty attack aimed at eliminating the Alchemical Gold Nexus entirely."Boss!" Gaston's desperate bellow barely registered through the ringing in Jean’s ears.Dust, pulverized quartz, and sharp granite shards rained down on the collapsed cavern entrance. Jean, gripping the bronzed Obeng now fitted with the unstable Gold Catalyst, ignored the agony shooting through his chest and immediately redirected his focus to the heart of the chamber: the Nexus Altar. Victor’s final attack, desperate and destructive, had missed the core, hitting only the immediate protective archway."Quick! We have to get out of here, now!" Lucie

the Supreme Gold powder
—Damn it!"Jean Valéry roared as the auxiliary vessel shuddered violently, thrown into chaos by the Italian Navy’s anti-alchemy torpedo. The kinetic wave of concentrated neutralization energy washed over their heavily battered Transmutation shields, seeking to break the molecular bonds of the vessel’s Transmuted Coral shell. The air instantly filled with the scent of raw ozone and corroding metal."Our hull is cracking, Boss!" Pierre shrieked, clutching his head, fighting the sheer force attempting to fragment the delicate Formula in his mind.Lucie slammed the auxiliary’s access hatch shut, locking it against the toxic water they had momentarily entered. Her face was pale beneath the grime. "They’re targeting our ancient Nexus line, Boss! That torpedo is meant to disrupt the oceanic alchemy transmission, not our vessel! The ship is nearly split in two!""Gaston! Infiltrators on the surface!" Jean commanded, his voice sh

This Sace
Jean Valéry screamed a silent roar of pain as the Anti-Alkimia Transmutation Torpedo exploded, the resulting hyper-concentrated pulse hitting the auxiliary vessel like a hammer blow. The *Karang Sembunyi* hull, already operating beyond capacity, groaned and shattered, sending pressurized steam and fragments of corrupted kalsite swirling inside the small sub-deck chamber. Jean fought through the metallic tang of the shock, desperately overriding the helm to force the Auxiliary—which now operated more like a submerged battering ram than a submarine—into the protective cover of the nearest thermal current. The Italian anti-alkimia forces were focused not on destruction, but on neutralization; they sought to disrupt the elemental Transmutation flow entirely, effectively eliminating Jean’s control over the medium.“We’re too close to Italian neutral waters!” Gaston bellowed, wrestling the helm to maintain course, his muscles straining against the violently oscillating Tidal Elixir that sti

Used For Defense
“—taking what’s mine! I’ve waited a long time for this!”The high-frequency feedback shrieked into the auxiliary’s small hold, brutally disrupting Pierre’s remaining psychic field. Anton’s voice, amplified by some newly acquired Cartel hacking unit, felt physically present—serpentine, ambitious, and dangerously aware.“We’re locked down! Anton is outside!” Gaston roared, snatching up his Transmuted utility tool, which still held the raw Obsidian integrity of his power core. His Tidal Concoction-stabilized body surged with instant adrenaline. “Boss, he must have been watching us from the surface for ages! The bastard! We have to seal the hatch!”“No time, Gaston! That signal is spreading to the nearest Nexus!” Jean barked, grabbing the crystalline container holding the powdered Obsidium Gold—the concentrated essence of the Supreme Transmutation Concoction. The air in the confined space crackled with the volatile, irresistible attraction between Anton’s parasitic Transmutation signature
