Arabella was wide-eyed when all the newly knighted Safirans groaned in pain a few seconds after they drank the potion Alwin gave them.
Bernardo covered his face with one hand and gritted his teeth in pain.
Miguel and Manuel held their arms that had been cut to the elbow. They bit the collar of their clothes to muffle their groan.
The others also held at various parts of their body as they groaned and writhed in pain; some even fell to their knees.
"What's happening?!" Arabella asked in alarm looking back and forth between Ferdinand and Alwin for explanation.
"Some of their injuries from monsters were riddled with toxins and miasma. It's rather a wonder they are all still alive despite their bodies already poisoned this much. It seems they have gained some resistance to it but their bodies are still in danger," Alwin explained.
Bernardo and his men were shocked about this. They did not even know about it. Yet, Alwin knew without having to examine them.
