Chapter 163: Poison's Side effects
Zera Adriana's POV
"Is this way, Scylla?"
"Yes"
"...."
I pretend to calmly walk behind Scylla and Mia.
"Ms. Zera, Why don't you calm first?"
"..."
"Ms. Zera, I know you are worried about Asher Eli and Luna but as a Princess of Fallen Continent, you should control your emotions and think rationally...."
"..."
An annoying bug continued his pestering.
I wasn't in the right mood to listen to his babbling mouth.
It was all because of me. If I had been a little more vigilant, Eli wouldn't have separated from us.
If not for Eli's sudden response, I am sure, I would be the one who fell into such an obvious trap.
'urghh' Just thinking about it, makes me more and more irritated and this fucking idiot was still not finished.
"You don't need to worry Zera, I will definitely help them to find and I am sure they will be fine..."
'What fuck mean 'he definitely helps them to find'? That's our team, you damn hero' I clicked my tongue in annoyance.
If not for my mother's warning, I would have definitely fallen for his petty tricks.....no, that time he almost tried to tempt me to drink his blood.
Thinking again, If not for his leadership, I am pretty sure, Eli would have been here instead of this asshole.
Suddenly,
"Alexander, could you stop pestering her?"
Mia turned her head and said with a frown.
"Ah, I-I am sorry, Ms. Mia...I was just helping to let her know she wasn't responsible" as he turned to me and added,
"So, please don't be hard on yourself"
He said with a warm and gentle smile.
'Twitch'
My eyes twitched, 'Why do I find it even more irritating?'
If not for our teacher observing, I am pretty sure I would have killed him by now.
"Mia!"
Scylla suddenly called Mia.
"Leave it to me"
She said as she,
/Disintegrate/
Soon a black flame shot towards the Scorpion Monster that appeared.
And just like before it turned into nothing but a pile of sticky black substance.
It's didn't even have time to react....'Seems like she improved a lot on her elemental control' I thought.
"Done, Scylla" Mia said as she collected the soul crystal before walking towards us.
"Good then..." Scylla nodded and closed her eyes for a second and said with a frown,
"This way, he seems to moving fast"
"T-Then, it must-"
"No, he is fine" Scylla calmed Mia who was on the verge of entering madness.
I don't know how Scylla did it but it seems like she put a tracking spell on Eli and due to her low cultivation....she cannot focus and fight at the same time.
So Mia kills the monster while Scylla concentrates on Eli's location.
"Why don't I as Hero takec-HIKK!!"
An idiot who tried to act like a Hero suddenly backed off when he saw Scylla's emotionless eyes.
As if saying, 'One more word, You will meet your creator'.
She was angry, really angry to the point she almost killed him.
Well, that's the reason why he was walking behind everyone with torn clothes.
She really beat him to a pulp and even Mia who had a calm expression, kicked him when Scylla trashed him around.
Even so, he still has the guts to flirt with me.....I really don't understand boys at all.
However....except for Eli who tried to save me due to my idiocy.
As soon as Eli was gone both Mia and Scylla who always bickered like a cat and dog suddenly had their back behind them and trusted each other....Maybe they could form a better team.
"Bitch, Hurry Up"
"Do you think I don't want to, You ugly bitch?"
.....or not.
As we kept walking Mia suddenly backed down and said,
"Don't worry, Zera, my big brother will be fine. He won't regret helping you" She spoke as if she knew everything about that man.
"...."
It's not that I am worried about him or anything.....well, maybe a little.
However, there was another reason for it...because a few days ago my mother suddenly visited me in the morning.
I was stunned to see my mother looked so gorgeous that might even toe to toe with Our King.....damn, that's all because she braided her hair. If her fans saw her, they might go crazy.
I wondered how braiding hair could change a person's face.
I wanted to ask for what pleasant reason, however, something tells me it's better not to know. I always trust my instincts that never lied to me, well except for this damn Hero.
Anyhow, Apparently, My mother came here to inform me it was the time of year, and she wouldn't be available for a week....I don't know what she and My king were doing as this happens every year.
So, I simply wished her luck and thought she would leave, however, she came near me and kissed my cheeks and ruffled my hair.
My mother loves me so much. I am happy to have such a mother, however, there were times when she would enter Queen mode.....it was a little dangerous for me.
Anyway, I don't know the reason for her sudden affection, even so, I silently accepted her pampering with slight embarrassment. After that, she informed me to take care of Eli if something happened, and I was ordered to call her at any time.
That was surprisingly surprising to hear that.
I don't know the reason, but seeing her resolute expression....I nodded and she told me not to say anything to Eli as she would call him by herself.
This was also the reason, I couldn't respond to Eli's constant questioning.
And now everyone understands the reason, Why am I worried about Eli?
'She going to kill me for falling for such an obvious trap and letting Eli suffer for my mistake' I lamented and said to Mia who had a worried look.
"I am fine, Mia"
"Hmmm" Mia clearly didn't trust my words but she didn't want to push me more; she walked towards Scylla.
"Zera?"
'...' Veins popped on my forehead, this bastard was clearly up to something and more importantly his way of calling changed from formal to informal.
"No need worry, I am sure Luna wo-"
Before he could finish his words,
"Why are so calm now?"
Suddenly Scylla's words echoed.
"Huh?" Alexander was startled for a second and his eyes showed little fear, however,
"What you mean, Maid?" He changed his attitude after Scylla beat him up.
"....I mean, shouldn't you be worried about Luna? You always screamed when my Master was near her and now she was all alone with him....who knows? She might seduce him" Scylla said with a smirk however there was underlying killing intent.
"What? Why she would seduce him? She has me, 'The Hero of Dawn Kingdom'....why she go after a nobody that doesn't have a future" He rebuked her furiously.
"..." His words were misinterpreted in many ways.
Even I could think he was saying that Eli could die in the future.
"Hahahahaha..." Scylla laughed dangerously before saying,
"I am pretty sure, she would be one seducing.him.now..grrrrr" while gritting her teeth in anger...as if she wanted to kill her.
"Huh? What do you mean, Scylla?" Mia frowned at her words....as well as I.
I don't understand, what's this feeling? I felt a little suffocated when I saw any woman with Eli....for the past few days, he was always surrounded by Scylla, Mia, Aadya, Rize and his servants.
An unknown emotion erupted in my heart...Earlier Mia said I was finally normal.
Well, that was true after taking out my stress on the monsters, I felt a lot of relief and less burden, I thought everything was fine thereafter.
Yet, Here when I heard those words, that suffocating feeling again erupted in my heart.
Scylla glanced at expressionless Mia and,
"Tsk, Do you think Nex send Elite class students to the weak insects?"
"...." Everyone including Alexander frowned.
Instead of answering, she questioned again,
"And Do you think they won't consider Three Saintesses' power?"
"..."
We still couldn't grasp what she was trying to say.
"Hey bitch, tell me directly?" Mia snapped.
Oh, n-no I think I kinda get the idea.
Scylla squinted her eyes before saying, "These poisons were more potent than any current Saintess could cure"
"""What?"""
"These poisons could kill a mortal in a minute and kill an immortal in 5 minutes if not cured"
"..."
Silence descended.
"Hmmm...Scylla, That everyone knows" Mia said with little...pitiful?
Scylla's lips twitched, still, she continued,
"Yes, everyone knows....but, these are hybrids that have side effects even if it was cured by Saintess"
"And What are the side effects?" Alexander chimed in with an anxious look, 'This is the first time I am hearing this, or is this way of reality different from the game?'
"Blister, dizziness and..."
Alexander sighed internally however it was momentarily only,
"Lust"
"""WHAT??"""
Scylla shook her head thinking these people were too young to venture unknown dungeon.
"Y-Y-You ar-are j-joking, right?"
Alexander's face crumbled.
Everyone knew who was hit by poison.
"....." Scylla looked at him for a second before saying, "I wish I was joking".
"B-But Lu---"
"At current her Rank, cannot cure her side effects...not any of the saintesses in our class"
She put a nail in the coffin and inwardly added, 'Except me who could reverse the time'.
"..."
Blood drained in his face.
"N-N-Nooooo, We-we have to f-find them f-faster"
"How did you know?" I suddenly asked because if it was this dangerous surely my mother at least left me with a hint.
Hearing my question, A glint passed through her eyes before saying,
"It's a secret" She smiled wicked before running.
All in a while Mia's expression was blank as a thought of Luna forcing herself to her big brother, '....I going to kill her'.
She was a bit unreasonable now.
