Level Infinity Weakest King

The guards tried to use their energy to make them unconscious but they somehow escaped after spitting the similar poison towards them which they tried to block by using a magic barrier which gave them a chance to run away.

"Ka ka ka! She will die for sure!", he was definitely laughing a lot, but little did they know that the scene at the palace was a bit different.

"Let's return and inform the good news as soon as possible!", was what one of them saying when suddenly they weren't able to move.

"Where do you think you both are running off to?", Rex standing there with a flare in his eyes and anger clearly seen on his expression asked them after making them immobile.

"You...!!? What did you do to us? Who are you?", asked one of the assassins to which Rex didn't answer.

"It doesn't matter who I am... but what you tried to do just now is something which I won't forgive no matter who says...", he seemed to be covered with rage but refrained from releasing any killing intent.

"Damn....", they wanted to use the same trick because they had a few more needles in their mouth but since each part of body was rendered immobile, they couldn't even aim and not even spit it out.

It seemed that the needle was covered with a paper while it was within their mouth because of which they weren't being affected.

Rex forced them to spit the needle which he looked at carefully.

"You used the poison from poison lily!!?", Rex exclaimed.

It was a famous poison during the times when Rex played games. It would be sold with high prizes and money inside the game because it was potent enough to kill even a huge adult dragon.

So many dragon slayers used to carry it but no one, not even assassins of that time used this as a poison to kill humans or other beasts because they were fully aware of the side effects of the poison.

Once the poison would enter a body, it would immediately spread like a wildfire and then first affect the neurons if the brain which would make all the parts of the body to stop working.

However that was not the limit if the poison. Eventually after killing the humans or other beasts, that poison that would still remain in the body would start to corrode the body slowly and steadily.

Due to that each and every part of body would be peeled off and all the bad and unclean mana stored inside them would accumulate in order to form a mana bomb!

In the past it was clearly known in the description because it was a game but right now no one probably knew about it because the bomb would take around 1 whole year to be formed.

Dragons had a strong vitality and each and every organ of their body was abnormally stronger than other beings because of which the poison wouldn't have been able to corrode their parts due to which they were never turned into mana bomb.

"What does that matter to you!!?", even though they couldn't move their body freely, their mouth was released to speak at the moment.

"What does that matter? Don't tell me that you don't know about mana bomb!?", Rex asked cause he thought that they weren't aware about that but immediately after he said that they started laughing.

"Hahaha, hahaha, of course we know about it!", they kept on laughing which was making Rex even more agitated.

Then suddenly Bandis and Zor arrived at the scene.

"Huff huff master, you shouldn't leave like that...", both of them could have used teleportation spell but that would consume a large amount of their Manas. Also they didn't know the exact location as to where Rex went but they somehow managed to find him.

But Rex didn't pay any attention to them right now because he was annoyed by the assassins.

"Tell me, who sent you to do this?", Rex immediately asked that but both of them didn't utter a single word.

Bandis immediately raises his voice and said, "Repky to master's question of you don't want to die!"

But no matter what he told they were determined to stay mum and didn't say anything.

It seeemed as if they were ready to suicide too which meant that they were high level assasssins and not like the novice who would spill the beasts if threatened.

"Uhhh... it's useless questioning you...", Rex immediately closed his eyes and peeled into the past and everything that they had done till now.

In those memories he found the people who wanted Elina to be killed and were the ones who hired the assassins.

Rex didn't say anything after looking into their menories. He then turned back andbstarted walking away.

"M-master?", Bandis wasn't able to understand the suddenly change of expression which Rex had.

"Master what about them?", the assassins were still immobile so Bandis wanted to know awhat was to be done with them when suddenly Rex released the immobilisation spell that he had placed upon them.

"Eh!? We are free to move?", both the assassins were shocked when they realised that he was letting them go but just before they could escape Rex said something which like a message which they had to deliver.

"Tell her... my mother is alright so don't even think about laying hands on her. Also, her son has returned to protect her...", Rex said this with a deep tone after hearing which both the assassins vanished.

"Master, you let then escape?", Bandis and Zor were yet again unable to understand him and neither did he intend to explain anything.

"Let's go back...", immediately after saying that he used a teleportation spell on all three of them and reached the rooms of the Inn and slept peacefully.

Zor who was earlier inside his storage space was now sharing the bed with Bandis.

AT THE SAME TIME...

"Elina!? Are you alright? The poison!!!", Alex was worried because Elina had shouted loudly because she thought that the needle pierced her but nothing that sort of thing had happened.

"I'm alright Alex...", she wasn't hurt at all.

A red coloured shield was surrounding her from all sides which eventually protected her from the needle and the poison.

"This...", Alex was completely shocked because the red shirked that was formed had a magic that was somewhat similar to his.

It felt as if some part of the mana was his own. Also there was no one other than him who could produce such a shield which was red in colour in the entire kingdom.

But Narsus probably knew who had made that shield. He knew it very well that other than King Alexander, only his son prince Rex could possess such powers.

"Too weird...", Alex was shocked a bit but more than that he was happy cause nothing happened to Elina.

He then asked all of them to increase the security and then led Elina back to the room immediately

All of them started to keep guard with their mana sense and looked each and every corner of the palace and the garden because there could have been another assassination attempt.

They couldn' possibly allow anyone to be this daring, so they all became owls with their eyes wide opened.

"Eli... you are really alright right? The poison didn't touch you right?", Alex was too worried even right now because he couldn't possibly see Elina die in front of him.

He didn't want to experience the same loneliness which he felt when Elina was bedridden and wasn't even able to speak or open her eyes.

It was really hard on him to sit back and look at her in that state. That was why he was cross verifying if everything was really alright or was she hiding something.

"I'm really fine... it's thanks to the barrier you used...", Elina said this after which Alex patted her until she fell asleep.

After she slept, Alex walked towards the window and look a glance at the moon.

"No wonder they tried the assassination attempt today... that was why even us 6 great people couldn't handle 2 normal assassins...", it was full moon night and the curse was still intact.

Of course, the curse was why Alex couldn't protect Elina efficiently, on top of that Elina's power was also decreased due to that.

"But, how do I say you Eli.... that magic barrier which seemed similar to mine wasn't cast by me. It was someone else who could be called as a great expert who cast it on you.... but the question is how and why?", he had many questions right now but it was futile to think because it might mislead him right now.

So he thought it was wise to go and sleep a bit. He immediately climbed the bed and lied beside Elina.

"Sigh, a lot of things happened in this one whole hour..."

He looked towards Elina and smiled.

"Good night...", saying this he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Soon it was morning again and Rex woke up from frok his sleep which was incomplete due to a lot of things that were going on in his mind.

"Sigh, I'll think about those later. For now I need to think about reuniting with father, mother and sister..."
