System vs Rebirth

"What do you mean by this?" Paul gritted his teeth while holding the pain. He never thought that the head butler was going to do something like this. "I have some suspicions about a mole in this place, but to think the mole is you…"

The Head Butler, who was also a Spirit Grandmaster like him, snorted without saying anything.

"You are unqualified to be a butler. To think you would point your sword at your ma—" Before Paul could finish his words, he felt a jolt in his body as he fell to his knees. "This is…"

"As expected, it seems if you don't take it directly, it is less effective and takes a long time to get affected." The butler narrowed his eyes.

'I can't even move a muscle?' Paul gritted his teeth, never expecting the poison to be this powerful. He realized that the poison came through his slash after the sword grazed him, but even so, this was still too much, considering he had been using his Spiritual Energy around that area.

"It's useless. What I have used is the Seven-Colored Poison. You won't be able to fight against it."

"Seven-Colored Poison?" Paul recognized this name. 'The Seven-Colored Poison was a mixture of seven deadly poison herbs. Although it's hard to produce because not only you have to find all the seven deadly poison herbs, but the amount you can turn into the real poison is low. And it should be impossible for them to be able to acquire it…'

"The Fagant Leaf should have gone extinct a few hundred years ago and the only person left who possesses this leaf is…" Paul gasped. "No way, one of the twelve leaders of the Tower Association, the Poison Lord, has joined your side?"

"That's how it is." The Head Butler smirked. "It's truly hard to acquire this leaf since its effect is the best. They can seal one's Spiritual Energy, no matter if they're a demon or a human. And now…"

The Head Butler placed his sword right at Paul's neck. "I can kill you both effortlessly."

He raised his sword and swung it down.
