Book 5: Chapter 169: Anger
The green poisonous mist invaded Lilith’s body through every pore. Although she kept her mouth tightly shut and held her breath, the wounds corroded by the mist from within became avenues for even more poison to infiltrate.
“It’s corroded to such an extent that even if a peak saint-level expert were to come, they wouldn’t be able to save you,” Raymond sneered coldly, taking out a dagger with the intention of retrieving Lilith’s head as instructed by the Imperial Consort.
Lilith convulsed, coughing up another mouthful of black blood.
“Ahh, I forgot how potent my poison can be,” Raymond said, smacking his head as if suddenly remembering something.
“You’ll probably melt into a puddle of blood in less than half an hour,” he informed.
To Raymond, Lilith’s resistance was futile.
The green mist was highly corrosive rather than poisonous. Any area it touched would swiftly disintegrate into a pool of blood, explaining why Lilith was continuously coughing up blood.
Raymond speculated that Lilith’s ability to endure for so long, despite her internal organs being mostly corroded, was due to her formidable willpower and exceptional physique.
“But then again, it’s rather impolite to present a head that had turned into blood as a betrothal gift... so never mind,” Raymond decided, sheathing his dagger without a second glance at Lilith.
Confidently, he turned to leave, dismissing any possibility of her survival from his mind.
After all, it would be absurd to think that a middle-stage saint-level expert like him could not poison a little girl to death with his core ability.
Hence, his attention shifted to his next target—Princess Luna.
In any case, there were numerous ways to confirm Lilith’s demise. With her presence erased, her name would simply vanish without a trace from the list of participants when someone was eliminated next.
However, Raymond was now faced with the dilemma of how to deal with Princess Luna. Unlike the unpopular Little Sparkly Blonde Princess, Luna hailed from an imperial family and was the current favorite among participants.
A misstep in his actions could lead to serious repercussions, not only for himself but also for the Imperial Consort and her grandfather under the scrutiny of public opinion.
If that were to happen, his marriage proposal would be ruined!
Raymond’s expression turned grave as he resolved to locate Luna first before contemplating his next move.
Rumble...
As her empty stomach protested loudly, Lilith’s curses gradually subsided.
She looked at the grill—the shark meat she had painstakingly cooked earlier had been corroded to nothing.
She then looked at the ocean, now tainted by blood mixed with the poisonous mist. Countless dead fish floated on its surface, their bellies upturned.
Her meat was gone. The ocean had been polluted...
At that moment, Lilith felt the world’s deep malice toward her, and her eyes turned red with rage.
Damn it! She had hoped to recover her stamina with a full meal and then take revenge with her own strength.
Fighting three hundred rounds and then killing him with her fists would have been an honorable death for a middle-stage saint-level expert. But why did that damn blond had to force her into this state?
First, he poisoned her, and then he ruined her meal.
That was simply unforgivable!
No more waiting. She wanted that damn blond to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
“Cornelia!” Lilith called out to the nuke she had sworn never to use on her own initiative.
“Eeyah?” Cornelia opened her drowsy eyes and seemed confused about the situation.
“How can you still sleep when I got bullied this badly!”
“Eeyah... Eeyah eeyah!”
Startled awake by Lilith’s roar, Cornelia seemed to sense something was amiss. Her big round eyes sharpened suddenly.
