"Don’t worry," Evelynn gestured with her palm, "I used a concealed, slow-acting flesh-searing poison when I slapped you. It seeped into your cheek and entered your spine before corroding your spinal nerves, severing the connection with your body."
Baize’s contorted expression froze after hearing his opponent’s words! No wonder he wasn’t able to move his body.
To target one’s nerves without making the opponent realize requires a great concealment skill, but Baize was aware of why he was unable to detect the poison! It was just that he couldn’t reveal that fact as it would be like shaming his pride!
Evelynn didn’t stop, "Then once your connection with your body has been served, the poison will move above with the help of the bloodstream that tries to protect your head, whereupon it would rejoin with the remaining poison and attack your eyesight... Oh, looking at the red in your eyes, it seems you’re already losing your eyesight."
"No... No..." Baize muttered as he could really feel his eyes becoming blurry.
It was only after she said that he realized the importance of his eyes turning blurry. It wasn’t temporary, but it seems to be relatively permanent!
Evelynn gently smiled, "Don’t worry, after the poison removed your eyesight, it would remove your sense of smell and taste. Uh... Sense of smell and taste is irrelevant in harming your life, but it is required for the sense of despair you will feel in your heart because, after this, even your voice and your hearing would be extracted from you."
"All you can do is feel nothing while the poison finally seeps into your heart, taking your life away..."
"This process will happen slowly, slowly, slowly and slowly that you will start craving for life but all you can see, smell, hear, and the taste is emptiness while an irresistible fear will take over your heart, making you cling to life... but even then you can only do, nothing!" Evelynn’s melodious voice was chilling.
...
..
It became a bit soundless as everyone felt a chill in their hearts as they silently gulped.
Baize’s lips quivered as he looked at the woman blurring in front of him. To him, she was once a beauty that he would have liked to have, but now, her visage and her figure in his vision was none other than of a monster.
"W-Why?"
They didn’t have irrevocable enmity. He couldn’t understand why he would be poisoned to death in this manner. Just hearing her words spoken in a tone devoid of mercy made him feel endless fear and despair.
But strangely, he was still sane. There was a constant flesh-searing pain in his eyes that constantly said that he was alive. It was his will to live that kept him from going insane.
Hearing his question, Evelynn sighed.
"I told you that I would make you regret your words soon, and like my husband, I generally don’t like to go back on my words..."
Evelynn suddenly blinked as she recalled a scene in the past, "Except a few times, but I only used a loophole and didn’t really go back on my words in a sense."
"That’s irrelevant to you, I gues- Oh? Did you lose your vision? Don’t worry. In a few seconds, you will lose your sense of smell and taste." Evelynn expressed her consolation with a smile on her face.
"You’re a devil..." Baize uttered.
His words were so sudden that Evelynn was given a start. At the same time, she could sense countless gazes of scorn, fear, and disgust directed at her from the audience.
However, she paid no heed and just smiled, "I thought you wanted me as your woman? Are you no longer interested?"
Baize looked at the skies, but he couldn’t see anything as even the whites of his eyes were pitch black. His pupils had already disappeared, and a little bit of blood was leaking out of his eyes. His figure was so desolate that it garnered pity from the audience.
His lips just moved, "I surrender..."
Everyone nodded their heads as if this was expected but to see someone, not someone, but a core disciple from a hegemonic power lose to an unknown power, they looked at Evelynn in fear and awe.
Baize completely regretted what he said to her in the beginning. All he wanted right now was to remove this poison from his body so he could live.
As for revenge, he didn’t want to see this poisonous woman ever again! Coming in close contact with her would only result in his demise.
"Good decision..." Evelynn calmly spoke, "If you had tried to escape with your soul, it would’ve been impossible as the poison has already corroded your Yintang meridian point. It would’ve over seeped into your soul instead, giving you a painful death because my poison isn’t effective against souls."
Baize’s expression didn’t tremble at all.
"I guess you aren’t that stupid to not notice that..." Evelynn giggled as she shook her head before looking at the referee.
The referee was an old man who seemed to have a hunched back. He possessed white hair and seemed to be a deacon of the Towering Cloud Hall. The old referee gulped as he suddenly felt as if a poisonous magical beast eyed him as a prey.
"The winner of the battle is Evelynn Loret from the Conferred Queen Isabella’s side!" He instantly announced.
Evelynn let out a flimsy grin, and with an intentional stomp of her legs that resounded like the departure of a villainess, she took to the skies, flying towards Davis.
"Wait! Where are you going!?" Baize suddenly yelled.
Evelynn stopped in mid-air, turning her head to look at him with a playful smile on her face, "Oh? You still want me as your woman even though the winner had been decided?"
"No!" Hearing her devious voice, Baize howled in fear, "I surrendered! Cure me off of this poison!"
"..." Evelynn became stunned for a moment.
"Hahahaha!" She laughed as she hid her mouth and held her trembling stomach, and although her bosoms heavily shook, no one dared to stare openly at her as they aversed their gazes.
The fear had already been imprinted in their minds. They didn’t want to offend her as they were afraid to be poisoned. With all of them surrounding the martial platform, all she would have to do is release a little bit of poisonous essence energy from her pores, and the breeze would do the job of easily poisoning them.
They didn’t want to offend such an expert!
Evelynn stopped laughing and smilingly looked at him, "Do you honestly expect your opponent to heal you after you lose a battle? Could it be that there is a rule that states after the battle is over, the winner must heal the loser?"
"How naive..." Evelynn coldly uttered, her eyes devoid of mercy.
"You! Pui!" Baize spat out a mouthful of blood. The poison had started to invade his throat! He was already not able to smell anymore. Even the attractive smell of the martial platform was unable to be differentiated by him!
Her mocking had already left him aggravated, but his life was on the line with her poison threatening to end his life slowly and ruthlessly!
