She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 311: The Serpent Magic

After the three of them had changed and returned to the living room, Omari had the nagging feeling that there was a hidden secret between them. Cheyenne glared angrily at Layne, while the latter cast a cold glance at Iker. The standoff between the three of them was quite unusual.

Omari glanced at Cheyenne, then fixed his gaze on Iker, whose complexion was different from usual. He adjusted the golden wire-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, sitting upright before speaking, “To confess is wise, well, speak up, what have you two… done?”

Layne withdrew his gaze, his eyes feeling dry as he blinked and changed the topic, “Nothing much. By the way, I found what Master Iker is afflicted with. It’s not poison; it’s toxin produced by venomous snakes.”

As Layne’s words fell, the room fell into complete silence. After about half a minute, Tanner broke into a cold sweat and nervously said, “Is it… the kind of curse we’ve heard of, old Mr. Edwards? I can’t believe this… it’s too unbelievable.”

There had long been rumors of poisonous magic, but it had remained mostly folklore, only discussed as a topic of conversation.

No one had expected that such a magic truly existed in the world.

Layne, stroking his gray beard, nodded and laid out the information he had gathered in front of everyone. “It’s recorded that the magic as initially used to treat ulcers, but over time, it was utilized by unscrupulous men and became something evil and dreadful.”

“The magic that has befallen Master Iker is one of the three renowned magics called Serpent Magic.”

The way of creating Serpent Magic was exceedingly difficult. One had to capture a hundred venomous snakes every May 5th, place them in a container, and let them devour each other. The venomous snake that survived would be called the Serpent.

The Serpent was then burned to ashes, and its bone powder was mixed with sulfur, Datura flower leaves, and other poisonous substances, forming the Serpent Magic.
