The chilling scene struck fear into the hearts of onlookers; how effortlessly Enzo eliminated Hobbes and his companions suggested that their demise would have been equally simple. This realization sent a cold sweat down the spines of those who had wavered in their convictions, leaving them grateful for their retained reason, untempted by Hobbes's deceit.
Moreover, the corpses of Hobbes and his ilk rapidly shriveled.
Their latent elemental powers were siphoned away, blood expelled, and subsequently gathered in Enzo's hands, refined into the essence of nine crimson pills.
Enzo tossed these pills to Xavior.
As Xavior caught them, still perplexed by their nature, Enzo remarked, "These substances can swiftly augment your strength. However, they will only be effective for those whose power is below that of Hobbes and his companions."
"And furthermore, they possess no side effects."
A wave of excitement rippled through the crowd.
