[We urgently request support! We simply cannot handle this monster on our own!]
[Lieutenant Ricard Chang is fighting, but hes no match for the enemy.]
[Supply corps hit from the flank in an ambush. Few in number but theyre strong!]
[At this rate well be annihilated in no ti! Imdiate reinforcents needed]
It was chaos erupting simultaneously.
Hundreds of status ssages flooded Xue Huas vision along with live footage.
What the how did this happen?
Xue Hua couldnt help but shake and utter these words.
It was inevitable.
The spectacle unfolding was a mirror showing their entire plan being shattered.
The landscape of the forest was being redrawn by a vampire who had appeared out of nowhere.
It was where Lieutenant Ricard Chang was.
Feeling the anomaly, the commander of the first company, Teng Chao, was quickly approaching this way, but Xue Hua had a gut feeling.
The mission had already fallen apart beyond repair.
Grinding.
The sound of grinding teeth resonated in the tent.
With things having co to this point
Right, having co to this point, she had to achieve a feat comparable to the capture of elf prisoners.
Xue Hua looked at Jin Hyeok with eyes brimming with killing intent.
He must be killed.
This man, right here.
Eliminating the enemy standing in the way of the Middle Kingdom Guild would surely make Lord Nangong Chun overlook this blunder.
She didnt need much ti to decide.
[Xue Hua uses Level 9 Poison Fog!]
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the tent filled with a haze of grey smoke.
She had used a poison that paralyzed the limbs through the respiratory system.
But
The expanding smoke stopped right in front of Jin Hyeok.
More precisely, in front of an almost transparent wall that unfolded around him.
A barrier?
I knew you used poison techniques. Of course, Id be prepared for sothing like this.
Information about the opponent had already been gathered through his Gluttonous Eyes.
Predicting how she would react when cornered was part of his plan.
What remained was
Just deal with the rest out there for about 5 minutes. After that, leave the situation to .
Jin Hyeok spoke to the elves.
Understood.
We can hold out for that long.
Sylvia and a Ranger nodded and exited the tent.
The A-class individuals had left with the deputy commander, so there shouldnt be much danger.
Jin Hyeok returned his gaze to Xue Hua.

Fighting poison with poison
Jin Hyeok smirked as he went over the copying conditions once again.
Though it seed simple, the actual condition was incredibly challenging.
It ant he had to gain the upper hand using poison against an opponent who specialized in poisons.
Most would not even think to attempt it.
But
Thats for ordinary folks unfamiliar with the Tower.
I can do it.
He wasnt an expert in poisons yet, but climbing to the top of the Tower, he had encountered many formidable poison users.
Masters who practiced a level of poison technique so astonishing it wasnt even comparable to Xue Hua.
For him, such a copying condition wasnt even difficult.
Id better aim to copy the unique ability then.
While the skills werent bad, the best option was to acquire the Thousand Poisons ability.
To do this, he needed to scratch her just enough.
So, I heard you were deeply knowledgeable in poisons, but was that all just empty talk? It seems a low-level barrier was enough to hold it off.
Are you saying my skills are sub-par?
Xue Huas atmosphere intensified at Jin Hyeoks words.
Good.
She had taken the bait.
Well, not necessarily. But I had high expectations. It crossed my mind that I could probably take on the entire Middle Kingdom Guild single-handedly with this level of performance.
How dare To make such arrogant claims again. Fine. Since it has co to this, lets have a real fight.
Xue Hua dispelled the poison fog.
At the sa ti, an atrocious energy began to rise, incomparable to before.
[Xue Hua activates her unique ability Thousand Poisons!]
[Thousand Ultimate Calamity Poison () blooms!]
An extre poison that destroys organs throughout the body via the magic circuits, rather than the respiratory system.
Thousands of mucus-like filants manifested in the shape of threads were explosively shot towards Jin Hyeok.
They were fast.
Moreover, this wasnt sothing a barrier could stop.
Shes using that one, as I expected.
As predicted, Xue Hua brought out the most vicious and effective poison she possessed.
Even a 10-ter class large creature couldnt survive half a day with just 1mg absorbed of this extre poison.
Of course, a person wouldnt last even a minute.
However
As long as you know the type of poison in advance, you can always detoxify it. Especially when its connected to the flow of magic.
Jin Hyeok willingly allowed himself to be hit by her attack.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Threads woven like a spiders web brushed over Jin Hyeoks entire body.
Bright reddish lines stretched across his skin.
Soon, the reddened lines started to bulge like inflating balloons.
Ha! Youre caught!
Xue Hua smirked with a sly smile.
With the poisons effect taking hold, it wouldnt matter if her opponent was even the most agile ranker.
Even holy knights and healers who had completed their second class advancent staggered in the face of this poison.
But
Hmm. Ill cut off the magic circulations for now. From here, if I release the flow about 1% at a ti
The person who should have been writhing in pain and despair was just muttering to himself calmly.
Please Can you at least show so tension? Do you not realize the situation youre in?
Huh? My situation?
Jin Hyeok tilted his head in confusion.
Kuh! Fine. It seems youre ignorant about this, so let explain what happens when you get hit by the Thousand Ultimate Calamity Poison. First, your blood vessels swell, and you start losing sensation from the tip of your right leg
My leg seems to move just fine though?
Jin Hyeok lightly moved his right leg.
Shuffling-shuffling.
From his toes to his calf, up to his thigh and pelvis.
His muscles danced a tap dance.
Huh? Why is this?
Hmm
Is your poison a bit weak?
What, weak poison! Youre saying that about the elite art!
If not, then not. Why all the noise? Its actually not that effective, to be honest.
Jin Hyeok casually jested, and Xue Huas face contorted even more nacingly.
Even if you survived the paralysis by sheer luck, you cannot escape the next symptom.
Even if the first round of paralysis was survived by a fluke, there was no escaping the second.
The second stage of symptoms spread through all the magic circuits in the body.
Yawn. Im not getting my hopes up, but I do wish you were right this ti. The experience is there, sowhat spicy but doesnt quite make you sweat. Like using only half the amount of hot chicken sauce?
Lets see how far your nonchalance gets you.
Xue Hua laughed coldly, looking forward to the scene to co.
However
The result was the sa, once again.
The victim, who should have been collapsing in a pool of blood, was instead smiling peacefully.
There was only one reason for this.
Could it be
Are you telling to believe that you detoxified the Thousand Ultimate Calamity Poison?
For a lee combatant, especially one not from China but a Korean ranker, to have such a deep understanding of poisons was ridiculous.
If the other commanders had been there, they would have burst into laughter at such nonsense.
However, aning the rival had calculated every blood vessel, magic circuit, and amount and type of poison flowing through them, completely neutralizing the attack.
Though it was an absurd story, there was no other explanation when faced with him being unhard.
Ive created a more vicious poison by mixing [Blood Demon Qi] with your poison. I managed to neutralize your poison by flowing it out appropriately.
He said it, and it sounded grand.
But to be honest, he still didnt know much about anything like Jingmai or Tianzhu points or where they were located.
It was just easier to morize and learn with his body as it ca.
Ultimately, this was all a result of the efforts hed acquired through nurous trials and errors.
And at that mont.
[You have acquired the skill Thousand Poisons (AA)!]
[Thousand Poisons]
Difficulty of Acquisition: AA
Description: An innate ability to handle a thousand poisons, allowing for imdiate effects from deadly poisons to latent ones that gradually worsen symptoms. You will also gain a certain level of Detoxification due to the extensive knowledge of poisons.
A notification appeared before Jin Hyeok, signaling the success of the copy.
Another ability was now in his hands.
Moreover, an innate ability with endless potential.
Of course, when you get a new ability, its only natural to use it right away.
It seems youre not very familiar with poisons, so let teach you a lesson this ti.
Watch carefully.
How poisons are ant to be utilized.
!
Xue Hua tensed, preparing for the attack.
In a battle with poisons, it was a constant struggle between poisoning and detoxification.
The side that used more advanced poison techniques would win this confrontation.
Dont panic. Stay calm.
As a descendant of one of the few remaining poison clans in China, she had been educated as a genius practitioner from a young age.
She directly experienced countless poisons, researched them while seeking rare poisons across the land.
She was confident that she would not be outdone by even the mightiest veteran when it ca to poisons.
But that vain expectation
Cough!
Blood dripped from Xue Huas mouth.
When was the poison used?
When did the poisoning take place?
Even the type of poison employed
She couldnt determine any of it.
What on earth are you?
With a brief sigh.
Boom!
Xue Huas body collapsed.
Damn it.
Damn it!
How could things go wrong to this extent!
Teng Chao, who had been in charge of the center of the elf village, was now sprinting like a madman along the forest path.
At so point, all communication with the other company commanders and platoons had been cut off. On top of that, theyd lost more than 30% of their forces due to the pursuit by the crazed elf in a pink dress wielding a magic wand.
It was the worst-case scenario.
But if he could sohow et Xue Hua and reorganize their formation
There was still a chance to turn around this desperate situation.
However
By the ti Teng Chao had barely reached the main camp
He had a gut feeling that sothing had gone terribly wrong.
Tents were burning all around.
In the tent where the company commander should have been, he saw Xue Hua lying in a pool of blood.
Of course
He also saw the figure of a veteran eagerly awaiting his next prey.
Youve gone a long way. What will you do? Youve co to a dead end.
Jin Hyeok slowly stood up.
