Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine

'The girl had silver hair...and her features matched Eryndor...agh.' After hearing the curse about the girl, he realized his mistake.

The curse remembers everything and when Alex fell after drinking that milk, he informed Alex about seeing the girl in Eryndor as well.

'Why didn't you tell me about the milk?'

[I only registered the poisonous components once you consumed it. And before my warning could have reached your ears, you were already down.]

Alex was frustrated by his nonchalance and such weak resistance toward poison.

He thought that since Sarah sent the milk, it must be safe. That's why, he didn't think twice before gulping it down.

...and now, he was stuck here in this void, trying to regain consciousness but utterly failing to do so.

'Am I really dying...' Alex wasn't panicking much but inside his head, a flurry of thoughts was keeping him busy. He knew that the situation was severe since this was something he couldn't fight.

This was not a battle against a living being. The mistake has been committed and all he could do was ask for help.

[You are dying for sure. The girl injected one of the most lethal poisons in that milk.]

…now…what?

-------^^-------

When Ruby escaped the room, the most shocked person was Christopher.

He told the girl to mix only the green-due drug in the milk so he could frame the bastard named Alex.

However, Ruby added something more to the milk and poisoned the boy…which was not something he planned!

And on top of it, she even escaped!

"Christopher…you did all this." The Pope turned toward the man before saying, "If you accept your fault now, I won't take you for interrogation." It has been a while since someone saw the man in such a bad mood before.

Christopher was startled as he said, "I didn't tell her to poison him!"

"That means you told her to drug him!" Celestria spat, her eyes red with tears and hatred.

Sarah was still trying to heal Alex as she laid him down on the bed and kept applying Monarch-rank spells on him, to maintain his health.

Although the poison was no longer spreading, the damaged organs weren't healing either. She tried her best to stop the poison however, she couldn't bring any changes to his injured organs, as the poison kept eroding them,

'No…this cannot continue or he won't survive…' Panic flared in her eyes, as she asked in a loud voice, "Which poison did she use?! Tell me, now!"

Christopher's face went pale, being directed at by such a fierce gaze, as he slowly muttered, "A-As I said, I don't know…"

"He isn't lying…he doesn't know…" The Pope turned toward Sarah before affirming.

Looking at the silver-headed boy lying down on the bed with his face pale and sweat accumulating on his forehead, he muttered, "We either need to find that girl or an antidote before his other organs fail."

Celestria didn't think twice before darting out of the window, following her instincts and moving in the direction where the girl left.

Meanwhile, the Pope told someone to bring Alex to the praying room.

Christopher was taken by the church members to be locked in the cell. The judgment for his actions would be passed later.

Sarah never broke her connection from the spell or the poison would have immediately spread deeper.

The other guests who have been staying in the church were also alerted of the situation as they came out of their rooms.

Azeroth had a worried visage when he saw Alex.

The situation was quite severe—he noted. His breathing and pulse were slowing down.

Cedric asked what was the matter to one of the priests, and the same goes for the other guests.

Tens of church members were surrounding the dying boy as they clasped their hands and began praying altogether.

The spell they released, although helped Sarah, didn't change Alex's condition.

His body was turning cold slowly—and that was not a good sign.

Sarah's eyes were damp with tears as she continued to pour her Soul Energy, hoping for a miracle to happen

Azeroth glanced at the Pope before telling him, "There is no hope...even if you infuse vitality in him, the poison would eat it away along with his insides."

The head priest asked, "You know what poison it is?"

Azeroth sighed, "I do...but there is no-"

"Please tell me!" Sarah suddenly got up and faced the man.

The desperation in her voice made it evident how much she cared about Alex.

Azeroth heaved a sigh as he apologetically told her, "It's an ancient poison against which only a few have survived...but none of them were humans. And sadly, there is no antidote to the poison."

Sarah's eyes widened, as she staggered back.

If anyone else had said that, she might have considered a percentage chance for the man to be not completely aware of the poison. However, coming from the most ancient being...Sarah knew that he was speaking the truth.

However, "I can't lose hope..." She muttered, before turning towards Alex, "I will somehow bring him back!"

.....

Inside his consciousness, Alex could only guess what Sarah and Celestria must be going through at the moment.

He could feel the connection between his body and soul slipping away, and his mind was failing to register the severity of the matter.

It was a bad sign.

People pull a miracle in a sense of panic...but Alex was losing that sensation.

"Hey, Curse...you can help me right?"

There was a brief pause before the other one responded,

[As I said before, I can. I have the ability to devour the poison from your body and stop it from spreading anymore. However, that would need me to take over your body and...you know what will happen then.]

"My soul...it will take the damage, huh..." Alex had already heard that answer before, but he still asked again. Previously, he was more conscious of the danger, but now, all he could feel was blankness.

[Your soul has already taken quite the toll, and for me to completely take over your body to consume that toxin would surely put your Soul under severe strain.]

[You might lose yourself.]

Alex hummed as he closed his eyes and lay down.

"That so...will I no longer be myself?" He asked, however, it seemed more like sleep talking.

[You might lose yourself because your soul energy might fade away. That's why I am still double-minded if you should wait for your allies to help you or if I should interfere.]

"My allies...Sarah might save me...but...dunno...it doesn't feel good."

Alex knew that if Sarah could, she would have helped him by now. But since he was still feeling the disconnection, he knew that the poison was irresistible.

....was he really going to disappear?

°°°°°

*BOOOOOOOM*

"Agh!" The silver-haired girl was thrown away by that explosion, crashing against a tree before she came to a halt.

Wincing, she opened her eyes before looking at the person who caused the explosion

"You....how is your lover?" A grin formed on the Priestess' face as she asked.

Celestria instantly grabbed the girl by her neck and lifted her off the ground, "Trust me, I will kill you if you don't tell me what poison it was."

Nothing but anger could be seen in her eyes as Celestria gripped her neck more firmly, making the girl groan.

However, she soon scoffed, with her eyes half-open, as she said, "What...I can...tell you...with surety...is that...your lover is going to die today."

Celestria's heart trembled at those words, as she stepped away from her.

"You are lying." She shook her head as Ruby fell to the ground.

The smirk never disappeared as the girl added, "I knew who was in support of that bastard. The Supreme Saintess! That's why, I chose the toxin which even she cannot suppress. And now he is going to die~~"

There was pure joy on her face. The girl, who lost her father...her brother, because of that cursed being, is finally about to die.

The only reason she left her home was to take revenge on that wretched being who was nothing but a burden to this world. And finally, she has fulfilled what she wanted.

"Go and spend the final moment-**BHAM**" Ruby's words died as her head erupted like a pumpkin by the sound waves Celestria sent her way.

Blood and innards spluttered on the ground and tainted her dress, as Celestria stood there motionlessly.

Her heart was beating unnaturally as she lowered her hand, and looked at the moon.

...if Alex couldn't survive tonight...then, she doesn't think she would get to see the Sun either.

A/N:- Abrupt ending? Nah, just kidding. Well, I have noticed that people have dropped the story so kinda demotivated these days.

Anyway, if you are seeing this , drop a comment to help me.
