Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Award Worthy
[Royal Sea Dragon Bloodline has neutralized the mid-tier poison]
The moment Eren saw the notification, he realized everything.
The Royal Sea Dragon Bloodline was already a superior bloodline. One of its advantages was immunity to most poisons.
There were still poisons in this world that could kill a Royal Sea Dragon, like the one kept in his Pendant of Poison. However, poisons like these were hard to find.
Hence, there was a misconception that Sea Dragons were immune to all forms of poison. In reality, they were immune to most poisons.
Since Eren possessed the same bloodline, he received the same trait.
If it weren\'t for the notification, he never would have known he was even poisoned. That\'s how efficiently this poison worked.
It didn\'t take him long to realize who might have poisoned him. Who else could it be but the so-called hero of this novel?
This time, the Main Character had really screwed him. It wasn\'t just because he tried to kill him. Instead, it was because he tried to kill an Archbishop of the Western Continent with him.
Eren wasn\'t a fool to think that the Archbishop was going to die with just mid tier poison. These people were more resilient than anyone knew. Unfortunately, that was the problem.
This man was not going to die. Instead, he was going to survive and blame him. Who in their sane mind would believe that a mere disciple poisoned him on his own, instead of being commanded to do it.
If he didn\'t handle it well, it could truly become a headache. For now, dealing with the Archbishop was more important than dealing with the main character.
The Archbishop bit his thumb, letting blood trickle out of his thumb.
Blood came out of his thumb, containing all the Poison that had gathered inside his body. The black blood fell on the floor.
Eren also didn\'t wait longer. He also grabbed his chest, falling on the ground, his face growing pale.
It was time to protect his reputation and prevent a war. And the only way to do that was to put on an award-worthy act, just like he did in front of his second disciple.
"Elder!" A young outer disciple rushed towards Eren, her voice filled with panic and loud enough to catch everyone\'s attention.
Nathaniel\'s breathing was still heavy when he turned towards Eren. He was surprised to find that Eren had also fallen to the ground.
It was only now that he remembered that Eren had also drank that same wine. If he poisoned that wine, why would he drink it as well?
It only made sense if he had taken an antidote before. But if that was the case, why would he fall like this?
He could see that a lot of things didn\'t make sense. If Eren actually wanted to kill him, he could have attacked him when he was trying to remove the poison. He was the most vulnerable at that point.
Eren didn\'t try to kill him. That meant he didn\'t want him dead. Instead, he was hurt by the Poison? Did that mean like the target of this Poison wasn\'t him but Eren instead?
Someone was trying to kill Eren and he just happened to be caught in between? But who could dare to do this to an Elder of the Great Demon Sect? Was this because of rivalry inside the sect?
"He seems to be poisoned. If any of you have any healing pills, give it to him," Nathaniel said. He didn\'t approach Eren personally, not wanting to create a misunderstanding.
Ye Liang silently watched everything. Deep down, he was quite irritated. Why was this timing so wrong? If both of them were affected at the same time, he could have attacked.
Unfortunately, when Nathaniel was affected, Eren was standing fine. And when Nathaniel improved, Eren had fallen. It was as if fate was toying with him.
He could try to attack Eren now, but the chances of success were close to none, especially if Nathaniel was going to intervene.
In the worst case scenario, he might have to waste his last life saving measure while also becoming an enemy of two continents simultaneously.
"I have a healing pill!" He could only give up on this opportunity.
To remove any evidence, he released the bottle of wine and rushed towards Eren. The bottle crashed to the ground, shattering and spilling the poisoned wine everywhere.
He handed the pill to the young outer disciple who was closest to Eren.
Nathaniel, although calm, kept a watchful eye on Ye Liang. It was the same boy who had served the poisoned wine and was the most suspicious.
"Elder, this will help!" the young girl said as she tried to place the pill in Eren\'s mouth.
Eren weakly took the pill from her hand and placed it on his tongue. However, he secretly kept the pill in his storage ring, making everyone believe he had swallowed it.
This pill came from Ye Liang, and Eren wasn\'t sure if it was a healing pill or another poison.
Although he knew it was unlikely for Ye Liang to find a poison that could get past his Royal Sea Dragon Bloodline, Eren didn\'t want to take any risks, especially when there was no need to.
"We should go back to the Demon Sect. Your Elder needs treatment," Nathaniel suggested, trying to take advantage of the situation to complete his own task.
"It... is... fine," Eren weakly said as he stood up with the support of the outer disciples, clearly showing how weak he was.
"A mere poison can\'t stop me... I will only return after completing the task given by the Sect Master," he added.
"Elder, please don\'t speak. You are very weak now," the young disciple said with concern, carefully escorting him to his room with the help of others.
Eren didn\'t resist. Since he had already issued instructions, there was no way the ship would return to the sect.
On the way back, he briefly glanced at Ye Liang. Ye Liang felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
