Absorbing The Mana Pills

"This should be safe enough. Sit down and let's get busy." Luke instructed.

Without any question, Obed sat on the floor cross-legged as if he wanted to meditate.

Luke did the same.

He opened a jar containing two small multicolored orbs. He bent the jar, making the orbs roll into his palm.

He tossed one of the orbs to Obed and held the other between two fingers.

"We'll take it together. Things go wrong, we'll both die." Luke smirked.

"There's no way things will go wrong." Obed insisted.

Luke didn't argue. "Fine. Just take the pill in…"

"Three… two…"

They both put the orbs in their mouths simultaneously.

"One." They swallowed.

They both waited for changes but nothing happened. "Hey, you sure we didn't just take poison?" Obed asked.

"What's wrong with your assumptions?" Luke eyed Obed.

"Nothing. It's just that poison always acts like this. They don't act immediately and hurt when you less…"

Boom.
