Chapter 332 - Poison (1/2)

”Hmm, probably not,” Lyn smiled. ”But, since when did the owner chose its weapon? This thing chose me, not the other way around. Even if I let it go, it will come back to me.”

She did let it go before. At first, Lyn thought badly of the weapon. Of course, she would. A scythe is a symbol of death, she immediately recalled the tale of a grim reaper. But, whenever she was in trouble it was this blade that would help her.

”So it chose you, I guess I can't reprimand you for using it.”

Lyn laughed, ”You were going to?”

”Yeah.”

Kazuya clenched her hand and Lyn looked over. ”Do you think it's bad too Kazuya?”

”Yes, but, since it's like that I can't say anything either.”

She leaned forward and gently kissed his cheek. ”Yes, thank you for not stopping me.”

The entire time, Lyn knew Kazuya wanted to hold her back from saying such words. But he didn't.

..

”What do you think Lord Iz, wanted with Kazuya?” Lyn pondered as she kicked a pebble under her feet. She and Rhys decided to head to the edge of town to wait for Kazuya. Lyn had a feeling that their conversation was going to take some time. Waiting idly by in that creepy mansion didn't sit well with her.

”I dunno.”

Lyn glared at him, ”Why do you keep giving me such vague answers?” Just as she asked that she felt something odd.

The streets were busy, so many people were around. But even then Lyn senses the unusual presence. Lyn frowned and turned to Rhys who nodded. To think this attacker wouldn't bother concealing themselves. Then again, these days it seems like whoever is pulling the strings.

”Stand back,” Rhys mumbled.

Lyn rolled her eyes but did as she said. She had been feeling quite light-headed since earlier. So Lyn simply stood aside and leaned on the pillar. After this, they should go to other district over.. And then… Lyn felt her vision hour and frowned. It seems like it was unwise of her to come here after all.

Rhys took care of the 'enemy' rather quickly. Or rather he did it in such a flashy manner, that some people actually stayed to watch. But then she saw the enemy move for a split moment. It lifted his arm and threw thousands of needles in her direction.

While her skills have improved, not even she could be able to dodge.

....

When Lyn opened her eyes, she could make out the vague sounds of talking. For some reason she could hear her master's voice too. ”They hit her vital points directly, so it's most likely going to spread faster. So the best way for an antidote is to transfer it to another person. Ah yes physical contact.”

”So, we have to kiss?”

Master nodded. ”Yes, just now you drank the antidote. All you have to do is pass it on to Lyn. You could also directly use your tongue on the affected areas.”

”Rhys..?” Lyn called out.

Rhys walked over to her. Lyn didn't know where she was but she was laying down on a comfortable bed. Rhys gently caressed her cheeks and Lyn looked up and noticed something. She was greeted by the sight of Rhys muscular toned body and averted her gaze. ”Rhys…” Lyn was very confused.

But what confused her the most was the present state of her body. She thought it was bad before, but now? Now it felt like something else entirely.

Lyn gasped as when she felt his mouth suck harder on the sensitive area of her skin. Lyn struggled weakly for she was confused. Lyn could barely see, her vision was blurry. But she knew it was Rhys who was touching her.

”Kazuya...” she whispered weakly.

”I already contacted him,” Rhys spat out the poison he just took from her.

”Kazuya...Kazuya won't...”

'Won't like it if Rhys touches her like this.' But right now her head was so fuzzy, the world was spinning so fast. ”Rhys, what are we doing?” Lyn asked. She was curious as to why he was doing this to her. Master said something about an antidote..? She wasn't too sure.
