The Adventures Of The Young Master

Gleipnir tried to find out what's going on and the truth made it pale, "Poison?"

It could feel something crawling inside its body and the process was slow, also.

Just like the poison inside Sylvianna's body.

"Do you really think that you're already smart that you put a poison on the sharps of your blade?" Sylvianna managed to smirk, "The poison in your body is already spreading throughout your body and unless you get the antidote in my possession, you are destined to die a pain you wouldn't even imagine exist."

When Sylvianna aimed for the enemy's heart a while ago, that laser beam contained a milligram of poison lethal for monsters like Gleipnir. Although the effect was delayed due to the constraints inside Gleipnir's body, the end effect was the same.

Now, both of them were poisoned and unless treated, they would eventually die.

"It seems you have caught me even before I caught you." Gleipnir admitted its inferiority, "Truly a descendant of the Blackmauve Family. You are deserving to be the heir for the distant throne."

"Now you will answer my questions.". Sylvianna declared. She wouldn't take a no for an answer this time. Soon, she injected a fluid inside her body, and slowly her body was recovering from the poison.

"You already have created the antidote for the poison, I see." Gleipnir smiled, "However, it's only a temporary one. Something that stops the poison from spreading for a short while."

It was the truth. Sylvianna only made a temporary antidote to stop the poison from further spreading to all parts of her body. And she needed to deal with the mess here before her time ran out.

"It's enough to have some answers from you." Sylvianna scoffed, "Now, answer my question or I take the answers on your head myself. Choose one."

Gleipnir laughed and nodded. Despite being poisoned and weakened, it could still do this, "Go on, I will answer it if I know."

For Gleipnir, the best way to survive this was to have more time to think of a way. And by answering the questions, it would have some time to remunerate.

"I heard that you betrayed my family. Tell me why." Sylvianna started the question with the culprit's betrayal. After all, the catastrophe started when Gleipnir turned its back on the family.

"Because Ancient Paragon offered me something that I cannot resist." Gleipnir responded, "The Heart of Darkness Paragon."

Hearing this, Jin Rou's expression turned serious. Even Sylvianna did the same.

The Heart of Darkness Paragon was just as the name it suggested, it's the heart of the strongest overlord paragon that had ever existed in Mortalis. It could be said that Darkness was the origin of all overlord paragons out there.

The other paragons had been trying to eye for its heart but to no avail. Who would have thought that Ancient Paragon had it? Not to mention, he even managed to keep it hidden from his peers.

The heart could help a paragon soar to greater heights, becoming stronger than the Half-Gods out there. After all, Darkness Paragon managed to make a Half-God run for his life during time immemorial.

Obviously, Gleipnir, a wanna-be paragon wanted to have the heart in order to advance. However, though it already got the heart, it had no surefire methods of absorbing the entire energy within the heart thus until now, it couldn't advance.

Of course, the heart wasn't useless as it had many uses aside from boosting one's cultivation.

"And you think it's worth it betraying the family for that disgusting heart?" Sylvianna asked. Her tone was cold and angry.

"Yes. Even if I can turn back time during that, I will always choose that choice." Gleipnir said, "As you see, everyone has their own free will of choices. It's up to you what you will decide."

Right now, Sylvianna already had a target who to seek next. But still, she asked, "Ancient Paragon was the one manipulating everything, including the wrath of the old man?"

"You can put it that way." Gleipnir answered, "Ancient is a very strong paragon. The other two will not even bark when he shouted at them. He is that powerful. So if you think of trying to get even with him, assess yourself first."

"What I do should be none of your business. All you have to do is answer my questions." Sylvianna sneered and said, "Are there other people involved in this scheme?"

It was far too good that only two existences were involved. Remember, it was the Blackmauve, the strongest of all, which they were driving to a corner. Though Ancient Paragon was truly strong, an ancestor of the Blackmauve could put out a fight against it without losing out.

Sylvianna's hunch was that there was a deeper part in what happened.

"With your current level, you are not yet qualified to know." This time, Gleipnir shook its head slowly. It could feel its body weakening more, any anytime soon, it would slump down to death.

"What do you mean?" Sylvianna demanded for an answer. However, the other party didn't respond again. She discovered that the poison had gotten through its brain and was almost dead. She tried to inject it with the antidote but the latter used its one final strength to destroy it.

"You..." Sylvianna wanted to curse. That's the only antidote existing. She still wanted to know so many things but the other party had already lost its life.

Gleipnir died. Moreover, it looked like it chose this fate rather than telling her what the answer was to her question.

"This bastard..." Sylvianna felt irreconciled. She was almost there but failed to reach. It was rather frustrating.

Jin Rou sighed. That Gleipnir was too cunning and even know what to do despite the situation. It even chose death rather than telling her something.

Sylvianna looked at the fading body of Gleipnir with hatred. It died to easily. However, she promised herself that the next target wouldn't die that easy like Gleipnir did.

If she didn't let them suffer a fate worse than death, she wouldn't be Sylvianna Blackmauve.
