How the Cult Saves the World

Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Zain was unfazed by Sevenus' glare.

He looked like "Zain the Merchant".

"The treatment is not over in one session. You may not know this, but the only way to cure Malone's disease is to expel the corpses of Malone worms from the patient's body completely."

"So you mean..."

"As you expected, you have to visit our temple until the Malone worms are expelled. As often as possible."

Sebenus' brows furrowed.

He clenched his lips and teeth. Seeing his reaction, I asked,

"How often do you mean?"

"Hmm, it would be best if you come every day."

At that, Sevenus clenched his fist tightly.

"Every day?"

"Yes. That's right."

Zain still had a smile on his lips. Sevenus glared at him and reluctantly loosened his fist. He seemed to want to observe him more.

Then, Zain rummaged through his clothes and said,

"Let's start the treatment."

What Zain took out of his pocket was a glass bottle containing Pasrel poison. Fortunately, Sevenus didn't seem to know what it was. That's good.

"What is that?"

"It's a medicine. Young Master Revelof, please drink it."

Zain handed me a glass bottle with one dose of Pasrel poison prepared in advance. As I took it, my wrist was grabbed.

"Brother?"

Sevenus' gaze was not on me but on Zain.

"What do you think this is and tell him to drink it?"

His words were short and clear.

"I told you. It's a medicine."

Zain seemed a bit annoyed by Sevenus' sensitive attitude. But he still added with a smile,

"I have already proven everything to the Countess. But if you don't want it, Young Master Revelof doesn't have to get treated."

[E/N: Zain is referring to chapter 30 - when the Countess used the 'Sphere of Truth' (a lie detector) to interrogate Revelof.]

Zain's attitude was like 'I don't care what you do, I have nothing to lose'.

Seeing this, Sevenus let go of me. He knew there was nothing he could do.

Sevenus' eyes turned to me. He looked indifferent, but he cared about me. He's still my family, right?

"Don't worry, brother."

I tried to smile at him and drank the Pasrel poison.

As the poison went down my throat, something hot came back up.

"Cough!"

Blood flowed with a cough. It was much less than the first time I took Pasrel poison. There was only a little bit of blood on my lips.

The effort to take the poison on time was paid off.

Unlike me who was happy,

"Revy!"

Sevenus was startled to see the blood. Zain also looked a little surprised, but he wasn't too flustered because I had warned him beforehand.

Sevenus hastily handed me his handkerchief with trembling hands. Then, he got up from his seat and rushed to Zain.

"What did you do?!"

Sevenus, who didn't know what was going on, grabbed Zain by the collar.

Oh no, my slave will be in trouble!

I quickly wiped off the blood and ran to Sevenus. I grabbed his arm and shouted,

"Brother, I'm fine!"

Sevenus, who was about to hit Zain with his fist, looked at me. His eyes widened a bit.

"Revy? Are you really okay?"

"Yes. I really am. Look. I'm fine. I feel less tired than before."

I acted as if I was perfectly healthy. Then, Sevenus let go of Zain's collar.

"Haah, you scared me."Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

He sighed deeply and brushed his messy hair roughly.

-I would have been scared too if I were him. Didn't I, too, freak out the first time you drank the poison?

This money-grubber. He always talks about money, money, money, whenever something happens.

The good thing was that I had a lot of wealth. Revelof's personal assets were considerable.

As I was weak since childhood, I saved up all my pocket money and had a lot of assets.

If I had to compare, it would be more than what Kyros Faith owned.

Well, I was still the second son of a noble family, so I had to have this much.

Knock, knock.

With a knocking sound, the door opened. Sevenus and Dr. Frank came in. Dr. Frank had a warm impression and he was sweating as if he had just run.

He must've heard the story from Sevenus on his way here. As soon as he entered and greeted me, he came to my side and made me sit down while starting his job.

"Then, I'll draw your blood, Young Master."

A blood drawing tool with a sharp needle appeared from Dr. Frank's bag.

-Ouch, that must hurt.

Kyros groaned as if he was more hurt than me.

-I can't stand to watch this!

Why is he overreacting more than the person involved?

'I'm fine.'

Meanwhile, the blood drawing process was over.

"The result will come out in about an hour."

Dr. Frank wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurried out of the room with my blood.

Sevenus watched the process and looked at me for a while before leaving the room.

Knock, knock.

The knocking sound woke me up. When did I fall asleep?

"Yes?"

I cleared my throat and answered. Sevenus came in.

"Revy, were you sleeping?"

"Yes? Yes."

Unlike me who was calm, Sevenus looked very tense.

At that moment, another knock sound was heard and Dr. Frank came in.

He ran hastily like before and shouted.

"Young, Young Master!"

Dr. Frank opened his eyes wide and shouted.

"It worked!"

Dr. Frank's eyes were filled with emotion as he said that in one breath, Sevenus staggered. His legs seemed to have lost strength.

I already knew this fact, but I pretended to be happy and acted.

"Really?"

"Yes! It is! The Malone worms have moved much less than before, and your body's nutrients have increased noticeably!"

Then, Dr. Frank continued his explanation. It was hard to understand because it was mixed with the empire's medical knowledge, but anyway, it meant that my condition got better.

"Just in case, I tested each drawn blood with magic tool, but they all showed the same reaction!"

The diagnosis in this world was done using magic items, so there was almost no misdiagnosis.

"This is nothing less than a discovery of the century!"

Dr. Frank shed tears and rejoiced and Sevenus looked relieved next to him.

"Phew. I'm really glad."

He said that and put his hand on my shoulder. But somehow, Sevenus' eyes seemed moist.

Could it be, he's crying...?

After Dr. Frank left, there was a lively atmosphere in the mansion.

It was because there was finally a breakthrough in my disease. Dr. Frank asked me and Sevenus what had happened, but we didn't open our mouths.

It would be announced to the world in the name of Kyros Faith later.

Dr. Frank was very curious but he had to leave.

'Besides, Pasrel poison is a substance that can't be detected by blood anyway.'

There was no risk of the treatment being leaked.

Anyway, when there was hope that I could get better, the servants of the mansion were very happy.

Especially Paul, who cried like a waterfall. The servants were happy as if it was their own business.

That's how it was late at night.

When I was resting comfortably in my room, someone burst into the room with the door wide open.
