Chapter 131 - Rex’s Plan - Part 1

Zor and Bandis were doing exactly as they were told.

Bandis took Rex away because he had to cultivate right now and that too in an open space where there would be an ample amount of mana rather than the confined walls of the castle.

He could basically teleport himself and could cultivate, but it seemed like he was minimizing the use of mana right now and was only focusing on his recovery.

The moment the doors were opened, Alex and Elina rushed from the place where they were standing.

It seemed as if they could hardly contain their worries.

"Rex!", both of them shouted in unison and entered the room only to find the bed empty.

It seemed as if Rex was missing and that came as a shock to them.

They looked here and there and found the old man to be missing too!

Elina and Alex were also shocked when they saw Zor standing there.

They immediately asked, "Where has Rex gone? Have you seen him?"

Elina seemed much more worried that Alex as it was a genuine thing any way.

Zor nodded his head and agreed to what she asked.

"You have!!? Then where is he? What happened to him? Why did he vanish all of a sudden?", she asked.

Alex too further questioned, "Did the poison in his body subside? And what happened to the doctor?"

There questions seemed endless at the moment and by hearing all those Zor felt burdened.

"WAIT!", Zor shouted.

Elina and Alex paused when they heard that.

"Maste... I mean Rex has been taken away by Bandis.", was what Zor said.

"What!? Master Bandis has taken Rex away?", both of them were shocked when they heard that because it was something which they hadn't expected at all.

"Yes...", Zor just nodded his head.

"But why!?", that was a new question which they asked.

They failed to rwalize Bandis' purpose but they definitely knew that it was not to harm Rex.

"Actually, he has taken Rex away in order to help him get rid of the poison...", Zor said with a low voice.

Elina and Alex both stared at Zor's face intensely and asked, "Couldn't he have done that here?"

They were now ebven more worried because they had no idea if Bandis was experienced in poisons.

They just knew that he was rather skilled in terms of strength and martial arts or magic. But they had no idea about this so they were completed puzzled right now.

"Does master Bandis know the art of medicine too?", Alex asked.

Zor just nodded his head but in reality it was quite the opposite.

Bandis had almost no knowledge about medicines. Even if he would have tried to learn all those, he would have ultimately failed because his brain was too thick to remember anything!

"That's good...", Elina sighed after seeing Zor nod his head but even now she wasn't satisfied with this for some reason.

She wanted to see Rex no matter what and wanted Bandis to treat him in front of her eyes but it seemed like that wasn't possible right now.

"Don't worry, master will be back soon...", that was what Zor said.

"Master?", Alex and Elina asked in unison.

"Uhh, I mean master Bandis and Rex would be back soon...", Zor rephrased himself for the better.

The word master kept on slipping from his tongue but he was somehow managing everything properly without much of a problem.

Then all of a sudden Alex asked, "Then what happened to the doctor that had come to take a look at Rex?"

Zor sighed the moment he heard that on seeing which Alex ended up with a confusion.

He didn't understand what Zor meant by such a sigh but nevertheless it couldn't have been for a good news.

But he couldn't judge him right now anyway and was just waiting for him to answer the question.

"Just don't get shocked when you see this...", was what Zor said.

Both Elina and Alex looked towards him in order to see what he was going to show when all of a sudden they ended up being surprised just by looking at that.

Zor, from nowhere, just summoned the old man in front of him who was completely covered with blood.

Eina was at a loss on words because she didn't understand the reason for the old man being in such a state.

Alex was even more confused and basically ended up shouting.

"What the heck has happened to him?", he asked in a loud voice and ran close to him when all of a sudden he was forced to withdraw due to the aura which Zor was giving off.

Alex took a look at Zor only to find a different feeling coming from him right now.

'A... A dragon?', that was what Alex said when he felt the strong energy from Zor.

'Without a doubt... that was an aura that resembled a Dragon's Aura...', he thought while sweating a lot.

Thought that wasn't much and he knew that Zor was without a doubt strong, but the way he glared and the amount of aura that he gave off, made Alex feel as if he was indeed standing in front of a dragon.

The feeling which he got was without a doubt no wrong because Zor was indeed one of the legendary dragons.

Alex backed off and thought that Zor would calm down but it didn't happen as he had thought.

In fact his anger kept increasing and his aura was slowly starting to spread which had alrrady covered the room in which they were standing right now.

Elina also became wary of it because the pressure was too high. Although both of them were quite strong, they too could feel a little amount of suffering from it.

They wanted to ask the reason for which he was getting angry when all of a sudden they heard Shiro say something.

"How dare you hurt my master?", was what he said loudly which they heard clearly.

'Huh? What is master Zor talking about?", both of them started to wonder.

They didn't have the slightest idea of what he was speaking and ended up asking out of curiosity, "This person... hurt your master?"

Both of them had asked the same thing which Zor heard properly and clearly.

All of a sudden his anger dissapeared because he started to think of the excuse that he should make right now as he didn't want the secret which Rex was hiding to get busted just because of his carelessness.

"Yes, actually this person was someone who made poisons and would go around poisoning others..."

"That way, he even ended up poisoning my master too...", he said.

Elina and Alex were satisfied with what they were told but right now something else was being thought by Alex.

"So you mean to say that he was the one who poisoned Eli?", Alex asked.

Elina stared at Alex and then looked towards Zor while expecting an answer.

Zor shook his head and said, "That I am unaware about, but I can tell for certain that he had come here tyo kill you all..."

The moment Alex and Elina heard that they were completely surprised.

"Just because of your lack of responsibity of checking everyone thoroughly, you would have ended up kiling everyone...", was wha Zor said to Alex.

Alex lowered his head and thought about it because whatever Zor said was indeed true.

The person had just entered the palace in order to ask something and at the same time the incident started to happen.

'I should have checked him thoroughly before allowing him to take a look at Eli...', he thought.

"Ya, I was a bit careless...", Alex accepted his mistake.

Upon hearing that, Zor smiled a bit and used telepathy and said, 'Master, what you said has been done...'

Alex then thought about it a bit more deeply and then asked, "Then, how did Eli get cured?"

"Ah, that was thanks to master...", Zor replied instantly and almost ended up revealing the secret.

'Damn, what did I...', he regretted saying that and thought that Alex and Elina would have found out about it by now but then when he looked at their faces, he could find a sense of confusion that was clearly seen.

"Master...? You mean your master treated Eli?", Alex asked.

Elina was also confused when she heard that.

First of all without a doubt, their so called master other than Rex even if existed then he would have been too far and even if he could use teleportation, would have no way to know that Elina was poisoned - At least that's what Alex and Elina thought since they weren't aware of the skill of telepathy which they knew.

"Ah, no... I meant to say that...", Zor paused for a moment and tried his level best to think of an excuse when suddenly he heard the same excuse from Elina which he was trying so hard to think.

"So, master Bandis healed me?", Elina asked.

Zor stared at her and said, "Yes! You are right... Bandis... I mean master Bandis cured you..."

"..."
