Poison Eve
Chapters-80

"Listen, everybody!" Xenephon. "Share the two groups to guard Cleon and Altair. The search was postponed. Me and Lord Vox are going to find Evelyn."

The guardians and the children of their assets nodded. Then split up to take action.

Nyx Cornus, Electra and Salazar Lotz broke away to rush to Nazareth's place, while the others stayed behind to guard Cleon.

Xenephon had already darted to Nazareth's place and reported, "Evelyn disappeared!"

"What did you say? Gone off? How come?" Nazareth responded with a barrage of questions that did not wait for an answer because as soon as he finished saying it, the angelic-looking man immediately darted away carrying his puppet while shouting out loud with demonic fury. "VELYYYYYIN!"

Xenephon let out a heavy sigh and glanced at Nyx Cornus, the guardian girl nodded at a glance, and the next second Xenephon immediately soared following Nazareth.

"EEEEEEVE!" Nazareth howled miserably as he leapt from one tree to another, bouncing on the rocks, soaring and darting out of control. Migi Vox darted by his side following his direction in a fog.

"Earth!" Xenephon finally caught up with Nazareth and ambushed the man's shoulder. "Control, okay?"

Nazareth snarled and jerked his shoulders from Xenephon's grip, then turned his body towards Xenephon while casting a sharp glare. "Control?" his his hiss was cold and sharp. It then throws a blue dome-shaped light energy towards Xenephon.

YOAAARRRR!

Explosions of light mixed with thunderbolts spewed out massive energy, shaking the entire place, and scattering dust and gravel flakes.

Xenephon was thrown far away and hit the steep rock cliff wall, then slumped while spewing a lot of blood.

"Control it!" nazareth growled with glittering eyes. His eyelids let out tongues of fire, which then spread throughout his body and enveloped him completely. Nazareth is now blazing.

Xenephon pulled his body up staggered, frowning and bending his stomach while rubbing the corner of his bloodied lips.

Nazareth turned his back on Xenephon, then darted away with Migi Vox, who was also flaming with tongues of fire.

Xenephon gulped and gasped for breath, staring at Nazareth's back in horror.

In the next instant, Nyx Cornus darted out from behind the rock cliffs with Salazar Lotz, then landed at the place of Xenephon while their eyes stared at Nazareth's back no less horrified.

"Are you okay?" nyx Cornus asked as he scooped Xenephon's face with a huffed look. Worrying is half dead.

"Leave him!" salazar Lotz said while supporting Xenephon's body. "We'll just go back" he suggested.

Nyx Cornus nodded with a sad look on his face.

Xenephon blinked helplessly.

A moment later, Nyx Cornus and Salazar Lotz had already darted away from the place while supporting Xenephon's body on his left-right.

When they reached the place where Altair was meditating, Lady Die was already there with Xena.

"What's going on?" he stared at Xenephon anxiously.

"It's ok," Xenephon replied in a soft whisper, while Nyx Cornus and Salazar Lotz helped lean his back against the tree trunk with his mouth clenched.

Xena and Electra watched Xenephon in shock.

"Nyx! What exactly is going on?" Lady Die turned to Nyx Cornus with a huffed expression.

"Just.." Nyx Cornus swallowed and smiled bitterly. "Lord Vox," he replied in a choked voice.

"Lord Vox?" Lady Die gulped along, then glanced at Salazar with a pushy look.

Xena and Electra spontaneously paled.

"I'm going to look for a healing mushroom" Salazar said.

Nyx Cornus and Lady Die nodded at the same time. Both of their faces looked shocked. Their gazes were now fixed on Xenephon.

Xenephon closed his eyes while his face grew pale.

"Tell me who Lord Vox really is?" whispered Lady Die with a grim expression.

Nyx Cornus remained down, looking at her lover's face with a sad look. "He can be anyone in Neraida" he said softly. "Especially in the world of spiritual masters!"

Lady Die gulped and fell back down.

Xena and Electra exchanged glances with tense expressions.

Nyx Cornus smiled wryly. "He doesn't care about it" he said still in a soft whisper. "But if you put Evelyn in danger." she hung up her sentence and gulped, then stared sadly at her lover's face. "Your fate may be like her," he continued in a trembling voice. Then burst into tears as he sucked his face in Xenephon's chest.

Lady Die froze with a pale face.

"It's still better to attack Migi Vox than to offend Evelyn" Nyx Cornus added.

Lady Die was bowing deeper.

Xena and Electra held hands and clutched each other's hands.

Lady Die dropped herself on the side of Nyx Cornus, then sat leaning against the same tree on the other side. "Such feelings can be both a terrible strength as well as a very fatal weakness" muttered Lady Die.

Nyx Cornus sighed heavily and wiped her tears, then twisted and knocked herself between Xenephon and Lady Die, sitting slumped against her back to the same tree trunk. "Indeed," he said. "But who can stop the kasmaran people?"

Lady Die sighed and smiled faintly.

The two women already looked much calmer now.

Xena and Electra were still pecking at the clumsy nearby Altair who was still struggling to suck his spiritual chakra.

"Rather than that." Lady Die continued. "There's something strange about the goliath. Did you feel it?"

"Right," said Nyx Cornus. "The Goliath was trying to communicate with Evelyn."

"No!" sergeant Lady Die. "Not trying. But they really talk. I saw the goliath stroking his head. Evelyn lost control after Cleon stabbed the goliath."

Nyx Cornus went silent. Think hard.

Xena and Electra listened to their conversation with frowns.

Simultaneously, Altair had already finished sucking on his spiritual chakra. The young man sighed deeply, then exhaled slowly. Then blink and open your eyes. Circulating his gaze and frowning.

Xena and Electra rushed over to the young man and pulled him away from their guardians.

"What's going on?" altair whispers. "Where are the others?"

"Cleon is sucking on the chakra on the other side of the foot of the mountain" Electra tells him.

Altair looked at Xenephon with squinted eyes, then watched Nyx Cornus and Lady Die.

"Lady! We will join Master Heart," Xena asked his guardian for permission.

"Sure," Lady Die replied without turning her head.

Then the three teenagers rushed away and walked slowly after their distance was quite safe.

"Evelyn is gone" Electra told Altair in a whisper.

"Huh?" Altair flabbergasted.

"Lord Vox became unstable and attacked Master Claus" Electra continued.

"Don't ask anything before Eve and Lord Vox return," Xena warned. "We'll wait for instructions."

"Then where's my guardian?" ask Altair.

"Master Lotz is looking for a medicinal plant for Master Claus" Xena and Electra replied simultaneously.

Reaching Cleon's place, Arsen Heart greeted them with a barrage of questions that made the three teenagers waver.

"What's going on? Where are the others? Has Evelyn been found?"

The three teenagers just froze.

"Java!" arsen Heart Urge.

"Where was it?" erang the three with the same confused expression.

"Why are you here?" ask Arsen Heart again. Making the three teenagers more confused to answer what.

That question wasn't there!
