“You’re courting death!” Nelson shouted. As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, Nelson erupted into anger while Merlin looked like he was going to murder Sebastian any second. The same was true for Magnus and Nathaniel.

They had followed Sebastian’s instructions to the letter. Yet now, he was seemingly toying with them. How could they not be furious?

Sebastian had anticipated their reaction, so he patiently explained, “I’m not messing with you. That won’t do me any good either, only harm. Drinking urine is the only way to detoxify the poison.”

“Nonsense! I’ve never heard of this method. Who says drinking urine can detoxify poison?” Magnus angrily shouted.

Sebastian chuckled lightly. “That’s because you’re ignorant. The ‘Arcane Herbal Compendium‘ records the medicinal use of a boy’s urine. The poison I used is called “Blazing Flame, and the only antidote is drinking urine. If you don’t believe me, you can have someone test it.”

Sebastian looked serious, and Merlin began to believe him a little. Merlin turned to Magnus and Nathaniel. “Which one of you is willing to try?” Magnus and Nathaniel hurriedly shook their heads. Although drinking urine wouldn’t kill them, the thought of its taste was unbearable. Moreover, they’d be a laughing stock if word got out.

The thought of drinking it made them feel nauseous. But Merlin and Nelson were giving them death glares, so they had no choice but to pinch their noses and down it in one gulp.

After drinking, they felt an urge to vomit as their stomachs churned. But they managed to hold it in. They didn’t want to risk having to drink it again if they threw up. After all, it took a lot of effort to drink it down.

After about a minute, Sebastian said, “Alright, you can try using your energy now. It should be fine.”

The two looked at each other. Both of them were hesitant to make the first move. The previous pain from trying to use their energy was still fresh in their minds. It was so painful that they dreaded experiencing it again.

Stop being cowards and try it. Or do you want me to cut your heads off?” Nelson threatened. He had no fondness for the people of Dragotha even though they

were his allies. He was only putting up with them because they were useful. In reality, he looked down on them.

Magnus and Nathaniel felt threatened by Nelson. They gritted their teeth and tried using their energy.

“We’re cured! We’re really cured!” Magnus and Nathaniel exclaimed. They were over the moon. They had braced themselves for the pain, only to find their energy flowed smoothly without any discomfort
