Chapter 197
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared before Bianca's eyes.
In the next moment, Bianca felt her world spin, and everything turned black.
With a thud, her head rolled on the ground.
The last thing Bianca saw before she died was the retreating silhouette of a Hell Guard as he sheathed his knife.
She never imagined that she would lose her life while seeking revenge for her cousins.
Dustin returned to the small house.
Irene was quietly waiting in the chair he had left her.
"You're back..."
Irene smiled when she saw Dustin. Her voice was gentle.
Dustin leaned down and caressed her face.
"Don't worry. Give me three days, and I'll make sure your face heals perfectly," he said reassuringly.
"I believe you," said Irene with a smile.
Dustin had managed to bring her grandfather back to life. How hard would it be to get rid of a scar?
"I'm sorry. You wouldn't have gone through all this if it weren't for me," Dustin said apologetically.
After all, it was his oversight that had led to this. He had not considered that Bianca might go after Irene.
"It's not your fault. I don't blame you at all," Irene said with a soft smile.
"I feel really sleepy and tired. Dustin, I'm going to take a nap for just a while..." Irene's voice trailed off as her eyes fluttered close.
Dustin frowned.
Irene's condition seemed somehow off.
Dustin checked her, and his face darkened. When he examined her more thoroughly, his face grew grim.
"The Five Venoms Sect's best poison, the Zombie Powder!" Dustin said darkly.
It was that witch Bianca's doing!
She had poisoned Irene with it.
The Zombie Powder was known as the Five Venoms Sect's best poison, but it was not because it had the potency to kill.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Those who were poisoned by the Zombie Powder gradually lost their bodily functions and would go into a coma. The victim would be aware because their senses would still work, but they would not be able to move or react.
The unusual thing about this poison was that it kept the victim's body in good health and even made them resistant to certain illnesses. Death would not come easy for the victim. They would remain in a vegetative state, unable to live properly or die.
S
It was no less than torture to be poisoned by the Zombie Powder. It was agonizing for the victim's loved ones to witness their deterioration well.
The only way for the victim to find some relief was by death. But who could bear to kill their loved ones?
There was one other reason the Zombie Powder was considered the Five Venoms Sect's best poison. There was no antidote for it.
Bianca was cruel!
Irrespective of whether Dustin had obeyed Bianca or not, Irene would still suffer from the effects of the poison.
If Dustin really had feelings for Irene, then this would be an excruciating torment to witness.
Dustin was enraged.
He felt that Bianca's death had been far too painless.
Dustin glanced at Irene. He pressed on one of her pressure points to let her sleep peacefully.
There was a point after which the Zombie Powder's effect would totally set in. Before then, Irene would still have some moments of clarity.
Dustin decided not to tell her about the poison.
"For any other physician, the Zombie
Powder is a poison without an
antidote or a cure. Even the person who invented this poison would it difficult to make one," Dustin muttered to himself. "But I have the Medical Bible. It shouldn't be too hard to find something that works."
He had a way to make an antidote for the Five Venoms Sect's best poison.
All he needed to do was to find some rare ingredients.
"Since this happened because of me, I will fix it myself!"
