Leonidas gratefully took the fruit, this time knowing what it did. The possibility of poison was still high, but the rewards far outweighed the risks.
The fruit was like an elongated, egg-like shape, its edges smooth and pointed. It was nothing special to look at, bright crimson in color, with a few patches of yellow spotted on its surface.
Leonidas gave the fruit a tentative look, then put it in his mouth. The hard shell grated against his teeth, and when Leonidas bit down on it, the fruit exploded.
Warm and juicy, it flowed down his throat, turning into nourishment for every part of his body. The feeling was euphoric and electric, sending jolts of pleasure down his body.
But the feeling didn't last long, leaving as soon as it was done. Most of the smaller cuts on his body healed up, but the majority still remained. Its departure gave way for something else to arrive, though.
"Aghh…"
