Damn, what was the Cult Mistress doing in her room?
The noises she made...
Darryl could not hold back his curiosity and slowly approached the door.
Monica heard the packets of spiritual herbs rustling in Darryl's hands.
"Who's there? Come... Come in quickly." said Monica softly.
Darryl immediately swung open the door without any hesitation upon hearing her words.
Gasp.
Darryl gasped and was dumbfounded at what he saw in the room.
Monica wore purple dress as she curled up on her bed in the aromatic room. Her body shivered incessantly and sweated profusely. She was clearly in a lot of pain!
What... What was going on?
Had the Heaven Cult Elixir activated in the Cult Mistress?
Monica had the same appearance as Skyler before the toxin activated inside him.
All members of the Grandmaster Heaven Cult including the Cult Mistress must consume this elixir.
Monica was somewhat angry as she could feel Darryl's gaze on her body. No one in the cult was brazen enough to stare at her body.
However, Monica did not care for such matters now! Her life was on the line due to the toxin's activation!
Today was indeed the toxin's activation day for Monica. The Cult Master was the only one with the antidote for the Heaven Cult Elixir! However, he was currently cultivating in seclusion and no one dared to disturb him as any interruption during one's cultivation could easily cause them to have a psychotic break!
Monica opened her lips slightly and feebly spoke to Darryl. "Darryl... See if you can find the antidote in the box beside the bed."
Darryl walked over to the bedside and opened the wooden box but it was empty.
"There's nothing here, Mistress." said Darryl.
Monical felt hopeless in an instant!
Could this be her end?
Monica felt as though millions of ants were biting her body as she tossed and turned.
Darryl took a deep breath and smiled. "Mistress, don't worry. I have the antidote."
What?
Does Darryl have the antidote?
Monica's body trembled as she looked at Darryl with disbelief. She was too weak to speak due to the toxin's effects. However, those beautiful eyes reflected the anxiety within her.
Unbelievable!
The method for refining the Heaven Cult Elixir and its antidote had been kept secret by the Cult Masters for centuries. This was to ensure the cult's disciples' loyalty.
Not even the Cult Mistress knew about the method.
How would Darryl who just entered Elysian Island have the antidote?
Monica stared intensely at Darryl. Could he be lying in order to take advantage of the Cult Mistress? Monica blushed, felt ashamed, and angry at that thought.
Nonetheless, Darryl's next actions were beyond her expectations.
Darryl walked around the room, grabbed a porcelain pot, and lit a fire.
The main ingredient for the Heaven Cult Elixir's antidote was the Bicolor Flower which he had secretly harvested many of them just moments ago.
Monica was in pain and laid there in a stupor while being uncertain of Darryl's actions.
Was Darryl going to refine the antidote on the spot?
It was impossible!
At that moment, the persisted toxin effects had caused waves of immense pain toward Monica who ended up covered in sweat. She could no longer endure and tumbled onto the floor.
The effect of the Heaven Cult Elixir's toxin worsens as time goes by. The pain was initially bearable but it would eventually become too much to endure!
Darryl was distracted by Monica's struggles as he focused on refining the pill.
"Darryl, tie me up." said Monica softly. She was still conscious and was aware that Darryl was her last hope. She could not risk distrubing him!
Darryl nodded his head. It was true that pill refinement required complete concentration. he noticed there was a rope on the table and brought it toward Monica. "Mistress, please excuse me."
Darryl tied Monica with the rope and also stuffed a silk scarf in her mouth as he spoke.
Monica's screams were muffled as she cried out in pain.
