'A traitor!'
This was the first thought that came to Misty's mind when she felt the poison inside of the food taking effect.
However, she didn't call for Argon just yet.
'If the traitor has been hiding themselves from Argon's eye for this long, then I should wait till they reveal themselves.'
Misty might be a bit a simp for Argon, but that didn't mean that she was stupid.
No stupid person can stay alive while being an SS-ranker.
She knew that nothing ever missed Argon's eyes, if he knew that there was a traitor then he would've already caught that traitor, and he didn't do it.
That means just one thing...
'Something big is going on in the dark...'
No one had the power to plant a traitor in the blue empire without Argon knowing about it, but from the looks of it, it seemed like one of them did get through.
'Argon...'
She saw Argon falling down as he held his head.
It was clear that he was affected by the poison as well.
But she didn't say anything and waited for the traitor to show themselves, till then she would heal herself.
Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr
Now, how was she fine when Argon already knew about her having healing powers?
It was because there was this one ability that she didn't tell anyone about, not even Argon.
It was called 'Angle's Sacrifice', this ability takes away her lifespan to upgrade her aspects so that she could do things that were impossible for her before.
She tried using her normal healing powers but the poison was too strong.
After all, Argon took her healing powers into account when he bought the pill.
Right now, she was using her 'Angle's sacrifice' to upgrade her 'Angle's touch' to a new height.
This was the first time Misty ever used this ability on herself, and it worked better than she expected.
But as she healed herself, and as she hoped that the traitor would reveal themselves soon enough, she heard Argon's voice.
"Argh, what happened???"
His voice sounded confused, and she was about to happily get up and tell him what had happened, but then she paused.
'If I can tell what's happening, then Argon can tell as well, right?'
She was perplexed by Argon's actions, but then she thought...
'Maybe he has some plans for the traitor....'
The guy was one of the most trusted people in Argon, and this guy, who was called Kelvin also trusted Argon a lot.
But just like everyone out there, he had a secret that he never told anyone about.
He had an ability called 'poison touch', this skill was an SSS-rank skill, supposedly the best skill he had, but this skill was kept hidden by him as it would be seen as evil by the world.
This skill melts anything that he touches after activating the ability, and anything is human most of the time.
So, he kept it hidden, but there was another thing that this ability does.
It gives the user poison immunity to an extent, and against a pill that was ranked SS, this ability worked perfectly.
"I-I should run a-away....?"
Misty asked in shock.
"Yes, at least someone needs to go out and call for help..."
Kelvin knew that there were only three people other than them inside this gate, but he also knew that those three people were strong enough to save them all.
"What about you....?"
Misty whispered back.
"Someone needs to stay back, and your life is more important than mine, you are a healer after all...."
Kelvin whispered with a sad smile as he shook his head.
He knew, just like Misty did: He wouldn't survive against Argon.
"I can buy you seconds at least...."
Kelvin spoke again, and Misty nodded her head.
Her care and feelings for Argon were now shattering slowly, but in one corner she still had some kind of hope that Argon was not doing this willingly.
But just as she was about to get up, she and Kelvin heard the voice that they wished to not hear anytime soon.
"Looks like we have some nice actors in the group...."
A chuckle was heard right after that, and before Misty or Kelvin could see something or think something, Argon appeared in front of them.
"Kelvin, Kelvin, Kelvin.
Why did you have to wake up? It would've been better if you stayed down, it would've been much less painful..."
Argon spoke with regret as he looked at Kelvin who was gritting his teeth, then he looked at teary-eyed Misty and smiled.
"Were you thinking of running away from me, Misty dear?"
Argon bent down as he held Misty's cheeks.
