Before Everia, Siderius had made a few useful tonic to go. Some were healing. Some were specialists in dealing with unique creatures.
What he just drank was a pure combat tonic. It was Muscle Reinforcement.
This tonic would make his muscle more durable, resistant to tearing and tiring, allowing him to stay in combat for much longer.
Siderius threw the bottle on the snow and wiped his mouth. "I knew something was going to happen sooner or later."
He didn't stay behind because he wanted to save Damien. Damien for him was no different than a stranger. He stayed behind because he could see the line of fate connecting to him.
Whatever Fate was planning, this was its first move.
It wasn't a bad thing either because Siderius' Karma was very positive. So potentially, this would lead to something good.
Siderius just had to finish the journey to receive that reward.
