Chapter 614 The Real Effects of the Energy Purifier

Since Tusam wanted to hear from Varga, she didn't stand on ceremony anymore. Looking at Tusam, she said, "I don't know what the Purifying Potion is like in your eyes. Perhaps you've heard that the Purifying Potion can completely cure the stubborn disease of your demonized knights' bodies being demonized. But what I want to say is that I've seen the Purifying Potion recipe kept by the Secret Society. As an apothecary, I'll tell you what the Purifying Potion is like from my professional perspective!"

"What I call the purifying potion is actually just a higher dose of anti-magic potion. In treating and delaying the demonization of your demonized knights, the purifying potion is about three to five times more effective than the anti-magic potion. Taking one bottle will allow you demonized knights to be free from the crisis of demonization for at least three months. But do you know why, even with such a potent purifying potion, the Secret Society still chooses to give you anti-magic potions?" After briefly explaining the effects of the purifying potion, Varga asked Tusam again:

Hearing Varga's explanation of the Purifying Potion, Tusam, despite his deep cunning and resolute nature, couldn't help but have a complex expression when a professional explained that what he had always believed to be the "Freedom and Hope" Purifying Potion was nothing more than a large anti-magic potion. His pale face flushed red and then darkened, like a paint palette...

However, Tusam was no ordinary person. Hearing news that so severely damaged his beliefs, he didn't break down or act irrationally. After a few minutes of processing Martina's information, Tusam looked at Varga, a venomous glint in his eyes, and whispered, "To control us!"

"I don't know what exactly happened between you and the Secret Society, but from a potion-making perspective, while the Purifying Potion is more potent than the Anti-Magic Potion, its side effects are also far greater. While resisting the demonization of your bodies, the Purifying Potion indiscriminately harms your bodies and purifies other energies within your demonized knights' bodies. That's the origin of the name 'Purifying Potion'!"

"In fact, when the alchemist Southgate discovered your demonized knights' fatal weakness—their bodies being demonized—the initial solution he came up with wasn't the anti-magic potion you're currently taking, but rather this purifying potion you've always wanted!"

"I've seen some internal documents from the Secret Society. They say that your leader, the Grand Alchemist Southgate, and the Secret Society once collaborated on an experiment. The experiment involved giving you demonized knights a purifying potion to resist the demonization of your bodies. However, the final result was that the purifying potion caused no less damage to your demonized knights' bodies than normal demonization; in fact, it was slightly more damaging."

"None of the demonized knights who took the purifying potion to resist their bodies' demonization survived more than three years. Of the five demonized knights who participated in the experiment, the longest they lived after taking the purifying potion was only two years and four months! In other words, taking the purifying potion is tantamount to slow suicide, and this behavior is irreversible. Even if you stop taking the purifying potion midway, it will not change the outcome!"

"After discovering this result, Southgate and the Secret Society collaborated to design a potion that, while not as potent as the Purifying Potion in its effect on corrupted knights, also had far fewer side effects. This potion is the anti-magic potion you are currently taking!" Varga recounted a secret story from the past, telling Tusam everything about the Purifying Potion from beginning to end.

As Varga continued her narration, Tusam's expression grew increasingly somber. After Varga finished speaking, Tusam lowered his head deeply, his large hands clenched into tight fists, and one could clearly feel the murderous intent and hatred emanating from him! He seemed like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment!

Although Tusam is still trapped in his vine cage, Varga dares not be careless. After learning that this person is the demonized knight Tusam, Varga did not panic on the surface and appeared very humble and arrogant. However, Varga knew that if they could not reach an agreement and the two sides started fighting, she would most likely not be able to defeat the demonized knight in front of her.

In the past, Varga would have been confident she could fight Tusam. However, lately, relying on her youth and the belief that she had plenty of time to train and break through to become a full-fledged wizard, Varga focused on potion-making. She wanted to design a potion specifically for Connor to help him achieve that goal. As a result, her combat power remained stagnant. This is why Varga was talking to Tusam so much – she wanted to dispel his desire and expectation for the purifying potion, so he would obediently take his anti-magic potion and leave, and stop bothering her!

As an apothecary who concocts anti-magic potions, Varga knows how desperate the demonized knight is to resolve the problem of his demonized body. Today, she has been cornered here by Tusam. If she cannot give Tusam an explanation and make him understand that although the purification potion can temporarily resist the demonization of his body, it is actually a form of slow suicide, Tusam will not let her leave easily!

After a few minutes, Tusam finally calmed down, raised his head, and addressed Varga outside the cage: "Dr. Varga, I want to ask you, if the purifying potion doesn't work, what other methods are there to completely stop our bodies from becoming demonized?"

Under Tusam's intense gaze, Varga desperately wanted to fabricate a reason to deceive him and get through this ordeal safely. However, after careful consideration, Varga shook her head bitterly and said, "Perhaps there is a way to resolve the demonization of your bodies, but I don't know!"

Varga ultimately chose not to deceive him. She knew that Tusam wasn't stupid; he had the ability to judge. If he realized that she was lying to him again, the effect might be counterproductive. It was better to tell the truth!

"I understand, Dr. Varga. I won't bother you anymore. Untie this cage, and I'll leave now!" Varga's reply made Tusam's already grim face darken even further. However, this result didn't seem to surprise him. He nodded and continued speaking to Varga:
