Rui had to admit that he hadn't so much as detected a whiff of the poison, both literally and metaphorically.
Yet, by the time he knew of it, it had already been coursing through his veins.
His body felt like it was on fire, yet, simultaneously, he felt himself losing control. It appeared that the poison's primary purpose was paralysis. It made sense, considering how hard he had damaged Master Zentra with his Yin-Yang Spear technique after the SOUL System had kicked in.
Had Rui been able to move at all, he would have won regardless of what the poison did to him since he was already so close to victory.
"Damn it…" Rui cursed as he focused on trying to regain control of his body.
Master Zentra, on the other hand, was seeing far beyond him.
"Your Highness…" He coughed. "Why don't we call this a draw?"
