Unbearable pain washed over him as the green energy, like a vicious acid, ate away at his body. He thrashed wildly on the floor, screams tearing from his throat without stopping.
Beside him, his servants suffered the exact same terrible fate.
"Is that... poison?!" someone in the crowd gasped, stumbling back.
Everyone watched in sheer horror as the nobleman and his servants turned a ghastly shade of green.
Their skin seemed to melt and decay right before their eyes, puffs of green mist rising from them. The crowd scrambled backward, terrified the deadly effect might spread.
Lord Alden yelled desperately, "Quickly, someone help him!"
The leader of the Mage Guild frowned, clearly disturbed, but he still acted. He chanted a complex spell, sending a pulse of cleansing energy towards the dying nobleman, a powerful antidote magic.
