Fu Teisan sneered. He already expected this kind of reaction from them. He lifted his foot and released a couple of kicks that sent the attacking prisoners flying.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
"With your mana sealed, what can you idiots do to ?" He laughed with disdain.
"Shut your mouth, you damn bastard! Release if you have the balls!"
Fu Teisan ignored their insults and walked towards the guy pointed out by the old man.
"Co with if you don't want to get hurt." He grabbed the captive general and tried to drag him out of the cell, but the latter suddenly spat a mouthful of saliva at his face.
Ptew!
Veins protruded on Fu Teisan's face. He grabbed the captive general by the neck and muttered. "Do you think I wouldn't kill you?"
The captive general squird as he gasped for breath. It looked like he was struggling, but he didn't beg for rcy.
"Release the general, you asshole!" A group of prisoners rushed towards him, but they were all subdued by the mbers of the heretic cult.
"Fu Teisan, don't kill him. I still need them all alive for my experints." The old man's impatient voice drifted into their ears.
Fu Teisan imdiately released the general's neck with a snort. "You're lucky."
He grabbed the man's arm and dragged him out of the cell.
"What do you intend to do with him, Lord Sen?" Fu Teisan asked with a curious look.
The old man nad Sen sent him a deep look and replied. "Just watch and you'll know."
He grabbed sothing from his inner pocket and stuffed it into the general's mouth.
"Kekeke!" The old man cackled eerily.
"What did you make eat?!" The general was alard. He tried to spit out the thing that was forced into his throat, but it had already dissolved in his stomach.
"What you just ate is the result of my decade-long research! Kekeke! Just wait for a minute. It should take effect soon." Sen laughed with a look of excitent.
The general beca more anxious with his words.
"You damn old man! Give the fucking antidote!" He stood up and grabbed the old man by the collar.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" Fu Teisan was about to interfere, but the old man, Sen, stopped him with a grin.
Suddenly, the captive general's face beca unsightly. He could feel an unusual sensation on his chest.
"What is th-" His words were cut off as a sudden burst of pain struck his head. He grabbed his head and knelt on the ground, screaming.
"Ahhh!!"
Seeing this, Sen burst into peals of laughter.
"It's happening!" He exclaid.
The prisoners could only watch their comrade suffer all by himself unable to do anything.
They hurled threats at the old man, but their words fell on deaf ears.
After so ti, the general's screams died out.
A massive change also occurred in his body. His skin turned a shade darker with patches of purple, looking incredibly hideous.
Roar!!
A beast-like roar ca out of his mouth.
"Excellent! It worked!" Sen laughed with pure joy.
In the next mont, the general burst with unknown power and broke free from his restraints. He then pounced on Fu Teisan who was standing next to him.
Roar!!
Fu Teisan was caught off guard, but he still managed to react in ti. He unsheathed his weapon and thrust it at the general's chest.
The general didn't evade his sword so it penetrated through his chest and out of his back.
Khshk!
However, the general didn't seem to feel any pain. He roared and grabbed onto Fu Teisan's arm like an iron clamp.
"How dare you?!" Fu Teisan unleashed his mana in an attempt to shake off the general, but the guy stuck to him like glue.
Shit! Where did he get this strength?!
In their struggle, the general managed to take a bite of his flesh. He pulled his head and tore off a huge chunk of flesh and blood, making Fu Teisan scream with agony.
"L-Lord Sen, help !" He cried out while looking at the old man.
The other mbers of the heretic cult also tried to pull the general away from his body, but the guy didn't even budge.
"Useless fool!" Sen clicked his tongue in annoyance. He then stepped forward and grabbed the general by the neck.
With a strong tug, he managed to separate the general from Fu Teisan.
"Tie him up!" He shouted to the mbers of the heretic cult.
"Yes, my lord!"
While the old man was holding the general, they tied his limbs with thick mithril chains.
It took them great effort to restrain him.
Fu Teisan put pressure on his bleeding shoulder to stop the blood from flowing. With a pale face, he asked the old man. "What happened to him, Lord Sen?"
The old man grinned and replied with excitent. "The pill converted his mana into raw power. It forcefully changed the structure of his body to achieve the peak of humanity! In exchange for that power, it turned him into a mindless monster. It's fascinating, isn't it?"
Fu Teisan frowned at his words.
For your bullshit research, I almost got killed! Fuck!
He was furious, but he didn't dare show it on his face. He was afraid that the old man would force him to swallow the pill if he were to show even a trace of anger.
Sen turned his head to the prisoners and mumbled with an eerie smile. "Wouldn't it be fun to see the empress fight her own loyal subjects? Kekeke! Just the thought of it makes excited! Kekeke!"
Hearing this, the prisoners were left terrified. They had seen the power of the drug. Even the general who was a Transcendent Knight fell victim to its terrible effects.
"You demon! You will face retribution for this demonic behavior!" Exclaid an old official who couldn't stand the situation.
Sen grinned at him and said. "Bring him out. He will be the next one to taste this aweso creation of mine! Kekeke!"
