The Journey of the Outsider.-Chapter 25: Beginning of a Journey.
Chapter 25 - Beginning of a Journey.
"Silver... try to vomit it out. Put a your finger in your gut... "
Silver clasped around in pain, his veins came bulging out of his skin all over his body. Stitches and needles were piercing his skin and he needed to tear the skin on his body.
"Stay here. I am getting help... try to vomit out the poison while I come."
Lisa tried to rush away to her medical supplies, but her movement was firmly stopped by Silver's hand around her wrist. "Don't go...Trust me..." Silver vomited out his blood...
"Silver your eyes, they are fading. You'll go blind if the poison isn't treated. Let me go" Lisa tried to shake Silver away but she couldn't the grip was tight and wasn't loosening a bit.
"That is happening? How is your hands' grip tight... is your hand paralysed?" No matter what she did, the grip didn't lose strength and stopped her from moving. Silver situation was worsening, his skin was growing pale and blood in body was stopping, this throat and neck were becoming blue.
Tears were falling out of Silver's eyes were now accompanied with blood, and a boiling sense was on skin as it would melt, Lisa felt his temperature rising by the touch of his hand.
"Silver...please let me go... or I'll have to-"
「Skill Activated: Venom Overdose.
The venom ingested will now not affect you over a particular threshold. Applying restoring effects to the threshold」
"Saved."
"what?!"
Lisa saw as Silver's body immediately bounced back and recovered from nearly all the damage done by a high class poison. His nerves restored, his eyes, throat like the damage never even happened.
Silver let of of Lisa, and stood up on his place wiping away the tears on his face. "The headache and dizziness are still there. The poison was definitely strong if this is threshold." Lisa stood watching Silver dumbfounded as she was to see him recover.
"You... how did you do that? You never drank the antidote...are you a warlord?!"
"No, no. I am not a warlord, although I am someone who has abilities similar to them. I can do thing most people won't be able to, and this was one of them. No poison in this world can kill me."
"What do you want?" Lisa stepped a foot back, "Why did you show me this ability of yours? You aren't human... who are you?"
"I am human. What am I? I think you have seen the pictures in the posters by now." Silver raised the cloth of this mouth and head. The white light of the orb, made him seem more ominous, as his shadow fell right onto Lisa's face.
"You are... The Outsider. You are one on the posters....I should have known. I should have guessed but then..." Lisa's confusion was accompanied with fear, she had taken enough steps back that her back striked against the door.
"What do you want from me? You knew I don't have any money... so, what? My body? my ideas?"
"If you want to run away, you can. I already gave you my trust when I entered this room. If you want to be free of whole facade then leave the room and live on. I won't be in this place won't be my house anymore from tomorrow, neither will be this city." Silver removed cloak and threw it on the bed. We wanted to open with Lisa was this once, she was going to die, if weren't for the premonition.
Lisa's hands slowly reached for the door latch that was keeping it locked. She opened the door latch and moved her hand to the handle. Silver saw that turned around, Lisa opened the door and nearly went outside...
"What about Sera?"
"Huh?"
「Skill: Lightning and Thunder Activation cancelled.」
Lisa removed her hand from the door handle and looked towards Silver once again. They were eye to eye and the new conversation began.
"You are the outsider. They say that you came with Alsana from the other side of the great wall. It is that true?"
"No. Nor I or Sera come from the other side of the wall. Although, I won't deny that one of us might share some connection with the one who broke it apart."
"You are-"
"We are ones that stopped Alsana in her tracks. If it weren't for us, Alsana would have nearly swept over the entirety of Uro or the entire human world by this time with all her forces but we did stop her from attacking further. And how we did it is not something I can explain right now"
"How can I trust you that? What if Alsana comes back and attacks tomorrow?"
"Then you shouldn't trust the point that we are associated with Alsana in the first place. Just because the lawmakers say I am allied with Alsana doesn't make me allied with her."
"Prove it then? The burden of proof is on your head. Either that you stopped Alsana from attacking, or that you are not allied with her. Prove one of them."
"I can't. Either of those is impossible at the moment. But if anything, I make sure that all I want to do is help you and everyone in this entire world. A disaster is coming very soon, and I need to get moving to complete it."
Lisa's face shrinked she heard a bunch of nonsense come of out of Silver's mouth.
"What are you saying? There is nothing that comes to me. Just tell why are you telling me all of this? What is the purpose of this whole drama?"
"I need you on my side in this war that is coming. You might not believe it, but calamity strikes when your back is bare and your mind lost in bundles of joy. The most significant way you can help with is creating by your potion."
"Creating my potion? That help does that give, you just demonstrated your immunity to all the poison that help will that give?" You are quite ready for a calamity if one comes."
"Because my ability is unique, I can bare any amount of poison. But neither can you nor the warlords can bear all poisons. The dragon blood that you need, I can bring it from the wasteland, then we can make the potion."
"Your first plan in fighting an apocalypse is making a absolute immunity potions. That is surprising to say the least. So, you want to me take care of Sera while you are gone?"
"You are quick to catch on."
"Let's say, I have a lot of experience in my hands."
"I don't know what that means but think you can get the done? If yes, then I have another task for you?"
"Aren't you taking my generosity for granted? I mean I being a traitor to the entirety of Uro by taking to you right now? What if the warlord find out? They find out everything, and erase our existence."
"That is exactly what I wanted to talk about."
