Chapter: 1215
"What about you, Sir Rhys?" Cornelius asked with his brow furrowed.
"I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me. Go on." Dustin waved his hand to dismiss them.
"Yes, sir!" Cornelius answered and led his men away.
"Sir Rhys, your nose is bleeding!" Nelson suddenly exclaimed.
"What?" Dustin touched his nose and saw blood on his fingers.
"Damn it! The Septemortis is truly extraordinary! Who’d have thought that I would experience a reaction so soon?"
He was practically invincible. However, his body was unable to withstand the ten deadliest poisons.
The residual venom from the Deadly Slither before was enough to make him unconscious.
Now that he had taken an entire Septemortis pill, it weakened his immune system.
Most importantly, the Septemortis poison couldn’t be expelled by a person’s cultivation. There was absolutely nothing he could do as the toxin slowly entered his bloodstream. Once that happened, it would move on to attack his organs.
Though the process would take time, it was deadly. And the scariest thing was how complicated it was to clear out the poison completely.
Dustin had excellent medical skills. But his hands were tied if he didn’t have the relevant medications.
"Seems like we’ll have to get our hands on the culprit this time, no matter what," Dustin mumbled to himself. He was starting to feel the pressure building up.
"Sir Rhys, are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Nelson asked.
It was concerning to see Dustin’s nose bleeding right after he had swallowed a poisonous pill.
"I’m fine. That wouldn’t be necessary." Dustin shook his head. If he couldn’t get rid of the poison, the hospital couldn’t either.
"Are you sure you’re alright? The bleeding isn’t stopping. In fact, it looks like you’re bleeding even more now," Nelson asked anxiously.
"It’s just a nosebleed. It’s nothing serious." Dustin smiled, trying to appear calm.
"Besides, just a little poison won’t be enough to harm me."
The moment he finished talking, the world before him turned black.
Dustin had collapsed.
When Dustin finally opened his eyes again, he was in the hospital.
It seems that the toxin within him had finally stabilized. But things still weren’t looking up for him.
"You’re awake, dear?" a surprised voice sounded beside him.
When Dustin turned around, he found Natasha sitting by his bedside. Worry was evident on her beautiful face.
