Chapter 639 - Climax 51...

Elizabeth came rushing towards Lee and gasped in horror looking at his right arm. She then immediately opened his shirt's collar removing the bow tie and saw blue colored patches on his neck. "This! How did this happen?"

Suddenly a lion pounced on them and Xio Lee quickly pushed Elizabeth away with his left hand, scaring the lion with his fire torch. Stefen and James too came rushing towards Lee and gasped in shock looking at the venom travelling in his arm.

"But... How can this be? We never came in contact with the venom?" Stef asked in surprise, his throat choking in sadness.

"I thought the snake had only ripped my fabric and not my skin. It must have given me a slight cut and the venom must have mixed with my blood which I did not realise earlier." Xio Lee spoke taking deep breaths, once again feeling suffocated and out of breath.

Elizabeth covered her face with her hands and then immediately held up her torch trying to scare the lion away. The four lions were now getting closer to them, while Xio Lee was now lying on the floor. James and Stefen had now dragged Xio Lee to one corner near a door and quickly opening it to get out of the room.

As soon as they opened the door to look inside trying to escape from the lions, they gasped in shock! As if Xio Lee being infected was not enough of a shock already the four of them looked inside the room and Elizabeth shrieked in shock!

James was still trying to keep the lions away as he too gaped inside the room in extreme surprise. They all walked inside the room slowly not able to believe what they were seeing with their eyes. They did not care anymore about the lions, and their minds were now filled with extreme shock. Stefen dragged Xio Lee too inside the room, who was now on the verge of tears upon entering.

"Welcome my dear friends. Happy to see the dead boy? He was killed brutally and died in extreme pain. The kind of pain that you can never imagine" Horus, who was sitting on his throne chuckled hard and everybody turned to look at him in anger.

Elizabeth walked up to the other thrones, in the direction where Raol was still in tears, crying over Kareem's dead body. Suddenly the lady's legs felt weak and she fell down on her knees instantly."Kareem!!" She shrieked loudly and immediately started howling out loud.

"Oh you poor lady. First your son dies and now your husband is also going to die. Tsk! Tsk!" Horus laughed out so loudly looking at the lady crying as it was giving him an intense relief as if he had finally taken revenge from her. It was his dream to see her cry terribly, like he had cried in pain when the lady had shot his manhood. " I shall order the lions to not eat you up for a few more minutes, first I want to see you all cry."

Stefen and James to dropped their guns and torches looking at the body in shock. They could not even bear to see how badly Kareem had been killed and their anger rose more and more towards Horus.

"Wait for it. A better news is yet to come. Your two kids are with Augus now. I have told them to come here as well and witness this beautiful scene." The old man chuckled looking at Xio Lee, who had tears all over his face as he lay on the ground looking at Kareem. He was now slowly getting more and more blue while his arm had already turned gray.

"Master?" Stefen ran towards Xio Lee, crying uncontrollably. "Don't worry! Nothing will happen to you. We will find a cure." He spoke in much anguish.

"It is ok Stef. We already know.. there.. is .. is no cure to it. Go take care of Lizie now. She will need you guys more than anything now. Don... don't worry about me."Lee pointed with his left hand towards Elizabeth who was now crying uncontrollably looking at Xio Lee and Kareem.

Suddenly several voices came from another door and suddenly Augus entered the room, looking at Horus happily. He had turned into completely black colour with red eyes and his long fang was holding too badly injured people, Rose and Rhehan, very tightly. Their heads were now bleeding terribly, while their bodies had several cuts.

"You called me my dear king? I was about to kill these two." Augus spoke while releasing the two of them from his grip and the two of them immediately fell on the ground besides Kareem. Rhehan and Rose opened their eyes a bit and turned to look at their family. Kareem was already killed while Lee seemed to have been poisoned.

They both closed their eyes as tears dropped down from their eyes as well, looking at their family's agony. As the family looked at Rose and Rhehan they knew that everything was now over. They all cried for each other amidst the laugher of Horus, Augus and their army of men.

Xio Lee's face had now started to get blue and he let out a loud choke as if in terrible pain. His left leg had also started to get a little weak and now the venom was rapidly travelling to his other leg also. He wanted to cry out in pain but he knew that it will only make everybody weaker, if he falls weak. He closed his eyes and was gulping down the severe pain which felt like each cell of his body was on fire, rapidly spreading all over.

Just like he had read in the book.... Slowly the body starts to turn black and it feels like the entire body is on fire. He also remembered reading that no herb or no medicine could ever cure this poisonous venom.....
