    “…D-Don’t move!”135b0cb26c48bbd1

    Patrick, feeling ce9f4e03df threatened, clenched e9fefc5556 the potion 039d1bda98 tightly and dc4da47a07 issued a 8644c94758 warning.537e9c2f270a0e38

    In truth, Patrick didn’t cbb24a382a fully understand what this 67254e0783 potion was meant for. He could only e5f2617dba guess that the 701e842610 Duke had created b2c537fecb it as a 8e79e4df22 means to keep ecd0becac0 the Emperor in c09f4b6bfc check.0c5b32c82bc5bec1

    By the ca53c7242a time he a1bb2a81c2 had been 4a57def11a brought into db9d4352d7 the research, 938ac9a026 it was 14ae5c6d6c already in 3d8be42855 its advanced e9968ce768 stages. Therefore, he didn’t 9e47ebf66e completely understand the 8aa3050c0b synergy between the ed812a838e two potions. He had only c46a2d809c heard that they af1a7f76f6 were fatal to 5711ec2709 Awakened beings.ba37b41d7e1fee0c

    And Nocturne, 1738a98e08 standing before 905d6504eb him, was 8ae9c79243 one of e11366975b those Awakened. If things went 9869ab35f3 wrong, this potion 73fef52307 would be enough 836674abb0 to threaten him 06b84854b5 here.147b3abc578fc691

    Nocturne showed no 99bb0870c8 sign of backing ae994f2ba7 down. It was foolish—an act ce6b550e26 born out of ignorance c6f1e8dfa2 about the potion’s potential 41de4b2787 fatality to him.5be088c949bb8d24

    Strangely, though, ebb95c4b9e it wasn’t 63ff11c0f6 Nocturne who e24ac5f017 was shrinking c32f77667c back but 447900105e Patrick. To Patrick, Nocturne’s soft 1acfe6180d smile looked devilish.2c22407a9b053f17

    Patrick stumbled 94d79efe00 backward on b739ca5734 trembling legs. Whenever Nocturne smiled 30b19e472d like that, it 69819b37c6 sent chills down ade78db5f9 his spine.a0c51016e8c4b531

    Nocturne used 1bfd1bfd99 magic to 43a8302ca2 tear down 4b40c8a2c0 the blackout 329ef5f730 curtains, attempting 69dc26f897 to bind e83f50ad19 Patrick. His plan 98df3cf771 was to 0bf187df13 subdue and bf4577f5b6 interrogate him.eb3aaed1ba6c22d6

    As soon as the dbef24fc90 red potion made contact 3d0a7999e6 with Nocturne’s mana, it 084bb49007 triggered a bizarre reaction. At the same da10acd74a time, the magic 1819139ed0 holding the curtains 0e10e21e03 dissipated, and they 8b7943bbe9 dropped to the 7bf887ff81 floor.2736573337ba029f

    Nocturne tilted his head 516ada315a in confusion at the a83d6e3d80 disruption of his magic. He was b0f9b8aab8 trying to 9cdd43f26b assess the b702ff61ec situation when e810a498ab Patrick’s eyes 59a543b890 gleamed with 7586702032 desperation, and fe81db5667 he threw 5088d58271 the remaining 04af87ae94 blue potion bd49bd50f9 at Nocturne.

    Shortly after, ba252f4780 Serina arrived. The moment she saw 856741676b Nocturne, she gasped in 4a32538343 shock. His face 57db164e97 was even 093ca26a51 paler than 497e53df40 before, which 07a2bd1ebf was unsurprising.2b78607f48bbe52b
