Poison Eve
Chapters-24

"Master!" evelyn screeched as she patted her guardian cheek which felt cold in her palm. "Master!"

Oh, naw! thought gamang.

He checked his guardian's pulse and examined her thin lips which were always tempting. That flirtatious thin lips now looked as dark as night. His heartbeat sounded weak and his entire body looked frozen.

"Anything that befalls him will befall me too. For example, if he was exposed to poison, then the poison would spread to my body."

The words of Nazareth flashed in his mind.

Evelyn lifted Migi Vox from Nazareth's lap and moved him into her own lap. Then she stripped the doll to check it out, and was surprised to find Migi Vox's body.

The body of the doll was truly like a human baby. It even has skin and flesh.

Will this doll become human? Evelyn wondered.

Migi Vox's face was as pale as Nazareth's. His body was cold too. On either side of his neck were two holes about the size of an ant hole. Big enough for Migi Vox.

The poison! Evelyn concluded. Nazareth was poisoned. Right, he said in his heart. Migi Vox stuck long enough in the mouth of the complaining dragon.

But no! thought later.

The hole in Migi Vox's neck is huge. But it was too small for the size of the complaining dragon fangs.

The complainant dragon could rip apart Migi Vox if he actually pulled out his fangs.

Not a complaining dragon, Evelyn thought. Migi Vox is stuck in his mouth. It's impossible to get poison. The complaining dragon stores poison only on its fangs.

Evelyn frowned, trying to recall what had happened before the complaining dragon appeared.

Vampire fairy! thought Evelyn.

...-flashback On-...

A vampire fairy of— forms exactly the same as a bat, swooping towards Evelyn which spontaneously makes Migi Vox dart to dispel the bat.

SLASHY!

A golden light gleamed from the impact of Migi Vox's elbow that landed heavily on the bat's neck.

The bat bounced and at the same time, the other bat swooped towards Migi Vox.

Along with that, a wolf charged towards Evelyn.

BLAAASH!

Evelyn manages to banish the wolf, while the vampire elf manages to peck at Migi Vox's neck.

"The fox!" peeking Nazareth while snatching her doll from the clutches of the vampire fairy.

...-flashback Off-...

The vampire fairy bit Migi Vox!

Evelyn put back Migi Vox in Nazareth's lap, while she began gathering twigs to make fireplaces.

He checked into the gemstone Nazareth had given him to look for anything that might be useful.

I have to get the poison out of their bodies! thought.

There's only a bag of water.

How can I make a fireplace? Evelyn thought hard.

Wait up! he said in his heart. The complaining dragon has the ability to spout fire from its mouth, is that ability also now mine?

Evelyn took a deep breath and held it in her stomach, then exhaled it towards the pile of twigs she had gathered.

A fire came out of his mouth.

Apparently true! inner amazement. I can hardly believe that he has that kind of ability.

Excitedly, Evelyn rushed towards the dead snarling dragon not far from their spot and plucked the dagger from her eyes.

He cleaned the dagger with water, then dried it with his sleeve. Then burn it in the fireplace to sterilize the dagger.

Which one should I save? he wondered in his heart.

There's only one way to be sure.

Evelyn let out a short sigh and tried to restrain herself from pounding as she tried to strip the buttons of her guardian shirt to see how far the poison had spread. But it was not easy considering the appeal of his guardian even in a fainting state.

Half the veins on the man's chest were already turning blue.

Evelyn glanced at Migi Vox who was no less pale with clutched eyebrows.

It was strange, he thought. Why did it spread faster in Nazareth's body?

"Well!" Evelyn gave a rough sigh. Then forced to tighten his guardian's wrist smooth white with a dagger that has been sterilized.

Dark-colored viscous blood seeped out from that smooth white wrist.

Evelyn sat down cross-legged after laying her guardian's body on the ground. Then it began to concentrate on gathering the inner energy into his palm and channeling it into Nazareth's body through the center of his chest.

Thin black smoke billowed from between his fingers pressing on Nazareth's chest.

Thick blood poured out from the Nazareth wound Evelyn had made on her wrist.

Migi Vox coughed and spewed out a lump of dark-colored blood.

Evelyn pulled her palm from Nazareth's chest and pegged a number of nerve points.

Migi Vox's tiny fingers twitch. But his body was still rubbed in Nazareth's belly which looked like a marble statue.

Evelyn took a few more nerve points along Nazareth's arm and lastly took a nerve in Migi Vox's back.

He lifted the doll up and placed it on his lap and pressed his palm on the doll's chest.

Fresh blood seeped from Nazareth's wrist.

Enough's enough! inner Evelyn reprimanded herself. His blood is sterile.

Evelyn pulled out her palm and retracted her inner energy.

He rewears the white Migi Vox shirt and his armor coat. Then did the same to his guardian, having previously brushed the man's wrist with his handkerchief.

He leaned the man back onto the tree trunk and placed Migi Vox in his lap.

Then waiting.

Suddenly a dark shadow flashed over the fireplace, followed by a flapping sound.

Oh, naw! thought Evelyn. Not again! hope in the heart.

Evelyn looked up as the dark shadow floated closer and exclaimed in shock.

Before long the dark shadow floated down, flying low towards the campfire and circling around. Her little red eyes shone watching Evelyn, lurking like the radar of demons.

A bat glided and floated down to the meeting place between the mist and the clouds, spun rapidly on the ground while folding its wings, twisting in a sinister and rhythmless dance, then landed soundlessly.

He emerged from the dance in the form of a human being, changed into a man with red shiny eyes.

At the same time, a thick fog settled down under her feet, enveloping the entire place around Evelyn.

Evelyn looked at the man with an agitated look.

The man looked back at him. His pair of red eyes flashed. A smile fluttered at the corner of his dark lips. Then his gaze turned to Migi Vox. "Good cracks," he said in a cynical tone. His voice sounded like a gust of wind.

Evelyn blinked and gulped, "Cracks?" repeat in the form of questions. His voice was stuck in his throat.

"That's Shadow Centering Science," the man tells. His face looks cold. But his eyes still glittered. "He broke himself by force and sealed half his crimes into the doll" he said.

Evelyn turned to Migi Vox and looked back at the man with a huffed expression. "Is there a bad thing?"

"Surely it is a forbidden technique" the man said with a flat face.

Evelyn gulped once more.

"Two opposing souls fighting over one consciousness." The man looked at Evelyn. "Do you think it's any good?"
