Chapter 129 - Rex: The Master Of Poisons

The old man kept wondering about it but no matter how many times he thought, he failed to understand as to how she recovered.

Moreover, when he took a look at Rex, he could find that he had the similar symptoms of what Elina was having a while ago.

High body temperature, a huge amount of sweating and heavy breathing, all of these could be clearly seen in Rex.

"Doctor!? What did happen to him now?", Alex ask d with a tensed expression.

He was indeed happy that Elina was alright now and was crediting the old man for this in his mind. However he didn't have any time to praise him since Rex was in danger right now.

So he thought that he should give more priority to his son rather than some half assed praise.

"I'll look into it?", the old man said and walked towards Rex who was still lying on Elina's lap.

'Huff huff...'

His heavy breathing just continued to increase and it seemed as if his condition was worsening.

'Now I'm completely sure...'

'He is indeed having the same poison inside his body right now...'

The old man's eyes bulged when he thought about that.

It seemed like he had special skills which enabled him to check the toxin presence and levels which Rex had already mastered long ago.

"Ahem, I just want both of you to leave the room if it's possible...", the old man said.

"Eh? You just have to check up then why...", it seemed as if Elina was hesitant to leave Rex alone.

She wasn't familiar with the person at the first place and had no idea as to who he was and probably that was why she didn't want Rex to be left alone.

Furthermore, in a majority of cases a mother wouldn't just let his child be alone when the child would be suffering from something.

She stared at Alex because she thought that whatever the old man said was ridiculous, but it seemed like Alex had some other opinion of him.

He just nodded his head when he looked at Elina.

"A-alex...?", it seemed as if just by making the eye contact, she understood what he tried to say.

"Yes Elina, keave Rex for a while alone with him...", he said with a deep tone.

But no matter who or whatever anyone told, she was too hesitant to let Rex go but then again when she looked at Alex nod his head again, she decided to trust him and got down of the bed while laying Rex's on the pillow.

She then slowly started to walk away and reached close to Alex.

She looked at him and then walked once again. Alex tol left and left the old man and Rex alone.

The door closed and just after that the old man walked towards Rex.

'What is he? I want to see!!!'

'Definitely...'

'Definitely he might have done something!', the old man thought in his mind after seeing the similarity in conditions.

'Hehe, lets see... what will happen to him if I...'

He took out the bottle which had the same toxin which was reddish in colour like that of blood.

He then slowly moved it towards his mouth and made him drink that.

It was a common knowledge that unless and until a toxin or poison doesn't touched ones blood, the person would be perfectly fine.

But the moment it touches his or her blood, it will start to take effect.

It was the same for sensitive organs like eyes which could be greatly affected by poison.

Though right now he poured all the poison into Rex's mouth which should have ultimately been broken down and lost its power due to the digestive chemicals in Rex's stomach.

But that was something that would happen only for normal poisons or the poisons that were weak.

Since this was one of the strongest poisons of the world, it would end up destroying the stomach and other sensitive inner organs which would cause internal bleeding and as soon as that would happen, the poison will start it's actual effect!

The entire 250ml bottle which had the poison was now empty and the man just waited for the reaction to happen.

He had a weird psycho like laughter in his face. He disregarded the fact that he could get killed by king Alex or anyone else in the castle if they were to find his doing. But right now he was working like a mad and was thinking like that if a crazy person.

He just wanted to see if Rex's build was somehow different when suddenly he noticed something.

"Huh...? Marks?", he took a closer look at his hand onmy to find that there were two marks which were earlier left after the snake had bitten him.

Though his self-healing magic was powerful, for some reason it was inefficient to heal it.

That onmy meant that right now his powers were too less as only 1 of his Seal was left to be unlocked while the rest were sealed.

"I can't believe this.., he was bitten by a snake directly?", the man was shocked the moment he noticed that because the marks were without a doubt quite fresh.

'How is that even possible?'

He was too shocked because the poison that they used to carry in the bottle would slowly lose its effect and power over time.

Therefore no one till date had been able to be alive after taking a direct bite from that particular snake because the poison that would enter his blood would be quite strong and powerful when compared to the preserved one.

"I... I underestimated him... he is...", he kept moving closer to him when all of a sudden he was pushed back.

"Argh!!!"

He did shout, but for some reason the voice didn't leave the room.

It seemed like a barrier surrounded the room which acted like that of soundproof.

"How dare you try to do something to master!!!?", Bandis asked with anger.

The same reaction could be seen on Zor's face but right now he didn't think about the man:

In fact he was taking a look at Rex to see if he was alright or not.

He could feel the energy fluctuations from Rex since earlier and now when he took a closer look, he could see that Rex's body was turning pale.

'Don't tell me...', he placed his ears near Rex's heart onmy find if everything was normal with his internal body.

He was about to Sigh with relief because the pulse was normal, but suddenly he felt that the heart beat was slowing down.

"Master...", Zor kept staring at Rex while Bandis kept punching the old man for whatever he did.

Zor too wanted to take out his anger on the old man so he immediately stood up and walked towards him slowly and steadily.

He asked Bandis to stop but he himself couldn't resist the anger.

"How dare you..."

"How dare you cause trouble for our master?"

'BAM'

The nose was completely bent by just a single shot from Zor.

Moreover it seemed like the man was completely covered with tears.

Also, the blood with which he covered was no less but even after that it seemed like the man was still laughing like that of an idiot.

"Fools..."

"Haha..."

*cough*

Even a bit of sound from him was making him like blood but it seemed as if he didn't cease to talk.

"No matter what you do to me..."

"Remember..."

"That boy will be dead soon! Haha!"

The man kept on laughing and kept on coughing blood which spread all over the floor.

It was something unbearable because Bandis and Zor couldn't possibly see Rex die!

They punched him even more in unison and then rushed towards Rex when they found the man completely unconscious.

"Master... you can't die...", Bandis said.

Zor then immediately said, "What the heck are you talking about? Death?"

It seemed as if Zor was trying to console or contradict what Bandis was trying to say.

It seemed like it was not a small issue but despite that Zor has complete faith because of which he said, "Even the death itself fears master, then how can you tell that he will die?"

Bandis lowered his gazes and then said, "But... I'm scared..."

"What if... what if Master leaves us again like last time..."

"...", Zor didn't have any words for that.

It seemed like no one literally wanted Rex to leave because he was someone, on whom they could place their faith and trust on.

Zor looked towards Bandis and said, "Rest assured, nothing of that sort will happen..."

Bandis still has his head lowered because he wasn't convinced yet since Rex's condition was only getting worsened.

Zor then stared at Bandis and said, "Really, just tryst Master..."

"Trust him...!?", Bandis said with a soft tone.

It seemed as if his voice had been trapped inside because of his thibkings about death.

"Yes... trust him..."

"But the poison...?"

It seemed as if they had already identified the poison and knew what it would result to.

"Haha, what poison are you talking about in front of Master?"

"Huh?", Bandis failed to understand Zor's words.

"Yes, you are basically threatening someone who is considered as Master of poisons, Haha! Did you forget?", Zor said.

"..."
