Disgust crossed everyone’s faces as they beheld the unsightly pills.
“After consuming this pill, you won’t have to worry about the poison veil anymore,” Jared assured the others.
However, no one stepped forward to collect the pill. The pills looked black and unappetizing, emitting an unpleasant odor. How could anyone willingly consume them?
Amidst the hesitation, Tamazi defied the uncertainty, rushing forward to pick up a pill and swallowing it. This unexpected action left everyone dumbfounded, unable to comprehend Tamazi’s motives.
“This is truly a miraculous pill, a real miraculous pill!” Tamazi exclaimed, kneeling before Jared. “I was a fool for not recognizing the prowess of a Supreme Alchemist. Please forgive my ignorance!”
Tamazi’s sudden change in demeanor further stunned the already bewildered crowd.
“Mr. Tamazi, what are you doing?” Hamish inquired, baffled.
“Don’t consider me an alchemist anymore. I’m unworthy of the title. This remarkable man before me is the true alchemist, a Supreme Alchemist, no less! This pill may look black and smell foul, but it’s a miraculous medicine capable of detoxifying poison. Moreover, this cauldron used to refine these pills is the ancient Divine Cauldron, the finest among all cauldrons,” Tamazi proclaimed with fervor
Following Tamazi’s declaration, the crowd shifted their attention to Jared, their expressions changing.
At that moment, Misho ceased ringing the bell. Drenched in sweat, he urged, “Everyone, hurry and take the pills. Mr. Tamazi is correct. Jared can indeed be considered a Supreme Alchemist. In fact, I sustained injuries from battling demons, resulting in my body containing lethal intent. If Jared hadn’t assisted in extracting the lethal intent within me on the airship, I might have already perished.”
Misho hurriedly encouraged everyone to consume the pills, unable to ring the bell any longer. Without the protection, they would succumb to the poison veil, losing their sanity once again.
“Grandpa, you-” Izolda was astounded, not expecting Jared’s words to hold true.
Misho’s reassurance dispelled lingering doubts, prompting the group to take the pills from the Divine Cauldron and swallow them.
Even Cloud and Feenix each took one Jared did not consume the pills since the poison veil posed no threat to his body; his immunity encompassed all poisons.
As the others swallowed the pills, Jared observed Rostom surreptitiously slipping one into his pocket instead of ingesting it. Surprised, Jared couldn’t fathom why Rostom chose not to take the pill. Is he unafraid of the poison veil?
Despite the confusion, Jared refrained from questioning further. Their choice to consume or not was theirs alone; he didn’t wish to coerce anyone.
Once everyone took the pills, they became immune to the poison veil, maintaining their clarity of mind.
“All right. Let’s leave this place quickly. Although the poison veil no longer affects us, the demon beasts in this area will still become frenzied,” Hamish urged.
Nodding in agreement, everyone followed Hamish, intending to depart.
However, as Hamish took a few steps forward, the void suddenly trembled. In the next instant, a surge of turbulent aura burst forth.
Amid the night, a silver flash materialized, hurtling toward Hamish like a bolt of lightning. Taken aback, Hamish instinctively leaped backward.
Missing its target, the silver figure glared fiercely at Hamish. It soon became apparent that the creature was a demon tiger with reddened eyes, evidently under the influence of the poison veil.
“It’s a silver tiger! Everyone, be cautious!” Hamish exclaimed, warning the others loudly upon identifying the beast.
The silver tiger, over ten meters in length, possessed eyes the size of bells. In comparison, everyone seemed minuscule next to the formidable creature.
