Only, that was not the reaction they received.
While Atlas and Artemia sieged the residence, Horus broke into Inku's home and entered the basement once more.
He approached those ten figures he'd left behind earlier and cut the chains that bound them.
'Now…'
He took out the healing pills that Atlas gave him.
'He said these would be enough to solve any immediate problems.'
One by one, he fed the sacrifices their pills. Since they were only mortal, they could not digest the healing essence on their own. He had to personally facilitate the process of absorption in all of their bodies.
But, the results were as promised. When the energy flowed to all corners of their bodies and sunk into their systems, they slowly began to heal. The skin that had been stripped from them regrew, and all visible injuries closed.
'This…'
Horus' eyes widened.
'I have never seen such an effective healing pill.'
