Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 1923: Divine energy product (11)

It was a glaringly obvious fact, but the extraordinary results of the previous concoctions had left us so dazed that we completely overlooked it.

Ultimately, the royal guard took matters into his own hands, drawing a dagger and slicing his own arm open before consuming the potion.

He acted so swiftly that none of us had the chance to intervene or utter a single word of caution.

The moment the liquid touched his lips, however, the gash began to mend at a pace visible to the naked eye. We watched in awe as his flesh seemed to reach out and knit itself back together until the wound vanished entirely.

While this was more than enough to prove the efficacy of the healing brew, the sight remained utterly staggering.

Under normal circumstances, a medium grade healing potion should never possess such overwhelming potency.

The typical speed of recovery for a medium grade healing potion was nowhere near this rapid.

There was no question that the presence of divine energy was the catalyst for this transformation.

"This... this is comparable to a high grade healing potion or even a top grade healing potion," Max declared, his voice trembling with excitement.

Having witnessed the effects of both grades in the past, I knew his assessment was accurate.

Still, seeing such a result firsthand was nothing short of astonishing.

I hadn't anticipated that divine energy would provide such a massive boost to the properties of a standard healing potion.

Yet, the evidence was right there before us, impossible to ignore.

Interestingly, the royal guard who had volunteered seemed somewhat let down by the display.

In his eyes, this outcome paled in comparison to the miraculous changes experienced by the other two guards. One could even call it underwhelming relative to their transformations.

Max, however, didn't share that disappointment, as he was busy scrutinizing the gathered data.

Because the royal guard was still connected to the monitoring equipment, we could track every shift in his biological readings. The data provided a comprehensive look at the state of his physical body.

As they pored over the results, Max and his assistants realized that a profound change had occurred beneath the surface.

"If you look at these parameters, you can tell just what has changed with his body," Max noted.

Despite his comment, the charts he showed me were incomprehensible, and I required a detailed explanation to make sense of them.

Max took a moment to walk me through the findings, even though he clearly looked eager to jump back into his research.

By the time he finished, I was left wearing an expression of pure shock.

The information he shared was truly groundbreaking.

No one would have expected such a secondary effect from a mere healing potion, but the data collected left no room for doubt.

"Does this mean that it can extend lifespans?" I asked Max in a hushed tone.

He hesitated for a moment before giving a slow, deliberate nod while staring at the screen.

While certain questions remained, all the indicators pointed toward that conclusion.

This was an monumental discovery that would shake the world. It was something that every person of wealth and influence would covet, especially those whose power was limited by a dwindling lifespan.

There was no telling what lengths people would go to if they learned that a relatively simple potion could grant them more years of life.

Such a revelation could easily ignite a war among the shorter-lived races.

"Keep this a secret for now," I commanded, addressing not just Max but everyone present in the laboratory.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, every person in the room nodded their solemn agreement.

I stared at the healing potion for a moment before looking back at the royal guard. "Will you be willing to test one more thing? This might be a bit painful, but it’ll be worth it."

The guard looked surprised by the request, but he eventually gave a firm, determined nod.

I signaled for the staff to bring out a specific container.

When the item arrived, the onlookers gave me puzzled glances, clearly confused about what I intended to do with it.

I took the container and approached the guard, asking one last time, "Are you sure about this?"

Though he looked uneasy, the royal guard simply nodded without saying a word.

At that, I opened the sample of corruption energy and applied it directly to his arm.

The moment the corruption energy touched his skin, the expected reaction occurred. We had seen this dark process many times before, and this instance was no different.

The only difference this time was that we possessed a potential countermeasure.

As the corruption began to spread, I poured the healing potion over the tainted area of his arm.

The effect was instantaneous.

The corruption energy vanished from the guard's arm immediately, and his skin returned to its healthy state. The dark energy offered no resistance at all, completely neutralized by the potion.

Once the process finished, it looked as if the corruption had never touched him.

"This is even better than the holy water!" several people cried out in amazement.

Max elaborated, "It’s better than holy water because of the healing component. It mends the physical trauma simultaneously. This is truly incredible."

Ignoring the chatter, I stated firmly, "This will be the official use for the potion. No one is to mention the other effect to anyone."

Seeing the deadly seriousness in my expression, everyone nodded in silent compliance.
