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!!"

"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.
