Chapter 423: Wonderful
” Ah… A h- handshake? S- sorry I thought you were t- trying to attack me, haha… Ha haha ”
He laughed awkwardly, with fear still plastered on his face, then he slowly moved his hand closer to Jayden’s and after thinking for a few seconds he finally shook hands with him.
” Why did you feed me poison though, I’m really curious? ” Jayden asked suddenly while holding his hand.
” Uh… Th- That, uhm I was p- planning to- ” Ardino began to speak, his words stuttering but then he was interrupted by Jayden:
” So, you wanted to use my body to send poison into its digestive system right? Since if you throw the poison here, it wouldn’t have any effect and will just be devoured by the strong acid here ”
Jayden’s gaze was sharp as he spoke and the more Ardino listened the more his body seemed to shrink in guilt and fear, he couldn’t deny any of his words, after a moment a big smile appeared on Jayden’s face as he spoke:
” What a coincidence, we two think alike. ”
As he spoke, Ardino turned his gaze towards Jayden with a questioning gaze but before he could understand anything or pull his hand away a strange sound rang out.
*HISSSSSSSSSS*
The hissing sound of a snake suddenly came out from underneath Jayden’s sleeve, and in the next moment a ten centimeters long dark blue coloured snake with red patterns all over its body, suddenly leapt towards Ardino’s hand from under the sleeve of Jayden’s right arm, as it bit into Ardino’s skin, just a little above his thumb.
With a loud scream, Ardino pulled his hand back and with an expression that showed his fear, he looked at his hand and saw the clear mark of the snake bite, he could already feel as if his skin and vein were getting hot.
” Y- You… Why did you do- this? I told you, I- I have a f- family ughh m- my parents, my sister nooo t- they would be dead w- without me, w- why did you… sob sob ”
Within seconds, tears were rolling down on his face, his body was shaking and he looked like a mad man.
” Well, for no reason you see these two swords right here, It’s name is Andrea and the poison produced by it is strong enough to kill this 3rd Zone beast several times over unlike your weak ass poison, so if you had just stayed still you would have been able to get out of here without so much as a scratch. ”
Ardino’s expression changed when he listened to Jayden’s words, who by now was just playing with the small snake without caring about anything.
” D- Do you have any a- antidote for this poison? ” He asked in a desperate voice, his face full of tears as his body kept getting hotter and hotter.
” Of course I have it, but I’m not giving it to you, also don’t worry I will tell your family about this if I meet them. ”
While rolling the small snake on his palms Jayden spoke, the small snake was happily playing on his hands, running its face affectionately against his hand, and jumping around.
“…”
Ardino didn’t know what to say, he could feel that his body was gradually turning hot, he looked at his wound and then at the snake and Jayden, and when he tried to speak his voice was choked and words couldn’t form, his expression looking extremely pitiful.
If it was the old Jayden he might have actually spared his life after knowing about his family and seeing his pitiful expression but he has changed a lot by now, he wouldn’t spare someone who just wanted to kill him, no matter what the reason might be, he wanted to do it for his family so what, Jayden has a family too and to him, his family is his life, so whether Ardino succeeded or not, he had wanted to separate Jayden from his family, it was already a big thing that Jayden wasn’t torturing him and showed mercy.
” Look don’t worry, unlike you I’m a veeery good person, so if I come across your family I wouldn’t kill them, and even give them your belongings, so if you have anything to tell them, you could write a little, here is a pen and paper for you. ”
Jayden said, holding the small snake in one hand then he took out a pen and paper from his ring and threw it towards Ardino who absent mindedly caught it and stared at those things with a dead expression.
” Haa you are almost making me feel bad, almost, anyway why don’t you listen to the rest of my story, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to die without listening to more of it. ” Jayden said, maintaining the same smile as the snake slipped under his sleeve, and disappeared completely.
” So, after that… ”
******
After the divine beast was killed Jayden looked at the blood that was freely floating beside him, after staring at it for a few seconds he waved his hand and distributed it into several parts, a big part was placed away from himself but he didn’t take the entire thing after all he could increase his Nether aura even through the Void skill by stealing others killing intent, but training the mind wouldn’t be so easy for his wives and other family members, so he wanted to give enough to all of them.
One by one the blood of the divine beast flowed in front of everyone, as they all got their parts and after distributing it properly, Jayden looked at his own portion and gulped it down.
Closing his eyes Jayden felt how the blood slowly travelled into his body before dispersing around and forming a strange type of energy, then this energy was directly sent towards his brain and nerves, and he could feel his mind immediately relaxing, and getting nurtured by it slowly, he could clearly feel how it was getting attached to his mind and nerves and making them somehow evolve.
After an hour had passed Jayden finally opened his eyes he was feeling extremely wonderful, he could feel that there was a big change in his mental energy, which seemed much stronger than before, he decided to check it out later and then swept his gaze around.
All the others were still standing with their eyes closed, everyone had joyful expressions on their faces, he could tell that their mental strength was also under going tremendous changes and the aura around all of them was slowly getting stronger. After a few minutes, he spoke:
” So, how was it? ” Eleanor was the first to wake up, a bright smile adorned her beautiful face as she spoke with sparkling eyes:
” It was wonderful, my mental strength has already become twice as strong, ah I wish there was more of that magical blood. ”
Then one by one all of the others woke up and all of them had been able to greatly benefit from the blood, their mental aura had become a lot stronger now.
” Yeah, it was a pity that there was only so much of the blood, anyway I’m sure there are many more treasures outside of this place, when we leave the Kingdom we will be facing many dangers but also getting excellent rewards. ” Jayen said as he turned to leave.
