Soul corroding miasmaPoison

Rank SSS

The Appraisal skill confird Victor's thoughts. This thing is a poisonous gas that he has heard of in his previous life. It does not affect the body, but just the soul. Discovering and curing it is a very hard job.

This thing was super rare, and Victor once heard of a good way to get gas-based poisons. He quickly took one of his daggers and a rope then created a hoop at it with a piece of the rope and passed the rest of the rope through it creating a pulley chanism. He then threw the dagger with all his strength using the dagger throw skill and made it go through the miasma and get stuck high into the gorge’s wall.

He quickly took 9 of the 10 water bottles he had in his ring and uncapped them then tied them to the end of the rope in a way that they would not tip over. Then began to carefully pull them up using the other end of the rope.

He was going to make the water in them absorb the miasma to turn it into a poison. He had a 50% chance of success.

His plan worked, as, after a few seconds, one of the bottles could be identified as a poison by the system. Victor sighed as he lanted not bringing more bottles with him. He carefully tied the other end of the rope with a bone dagger that he stock to the wall near him. He got a lot of those from the goblins.

This would take so ti and he needed to check on Alex so he used his disguise skill to hide his setup as he began to descend heading to where Alex was.

He didn't want to talk to her using the system, as that would make her realize that he was spying on her. If she realized that she was completely his toy she might get very depressed or even break, and he didn't want that to happen.

It took him another hour to reach her, as the gorge had many branches and so of them were dead ends.

She was faring much better than he expected. The spiders around her were decreasing at a visible speed under her spear skills. She decided to fight at last. Although she still had tears in her eyes and was wailing every ti she killed one.

“The poor spider under your spear should be the one making that voice, not you,” thought Victor as he kept watching in silence for five minutes before deciding to help her in secret. He quickly began to kill the spiders from the back, using Alex was collecting aggro as a tank. Finally, no living spider was left. It took them 2 hours to kill them all.

Alex collapsed on the ground in exhaustion after clearing the area, but at that mont, a spider that was camouflaged in the rocks attacked her from her blind spot.

Alex quickly attacked it with her spear, but she was too late. The spiders' fangs bit through her tender neck in a flash. Or that's what she thought. The spider stopped a re inch from her and collapsed with a dagger embedded in its back.

"You should be more careful next ti. Always survey your environnt before resting." Said Victor who appeared out of thin air and walked to her side then used a bone dagger in his hand to stab the spider in its head before taking the first one out. This thing was only paralyzed not dead.

Alex jumped and hugged victor without uttering a word, she began to cry as she embedded her face in his chest. She really feared spiders since she was a child and the boys in the sect locked her in a warehouse full of spiders as a prank.

She was shaking in Victor's arms as she sobbed. It took her great courage to fight them, especially the big ones. They were the size of horses. And had those horrible legs and multiple nacing eyes.

Victor hugged her as he slowly patted her short silky hair with his hand, making her feel a strange sense of warmth that she never knew. Victor felt as if he was in this situation before. Ah..yes, Margret did the sa thing.

“Are you going to hang on my clothes for long? Do you know that a pretty girl cried on this very sa shirt two days ago? I know that I have that effect on girls, but you should pull yourself together, you are a man.” Said Victor after five minutes, making Alex who was absorbed in his embarrassnt wake up. She quickly stepped back, letting go of his shirt, and turned around to hide her blushing face.

“Bastard.” She said as she began to walk away, wanting to escape.

“Idiot, where are you going? Do you want to be eaten by spiders? Rest a bit here, while I go to collect the GEMs,” Victor said, making Alex stop and look around to rember that she was still at the dungeon. So she quickly found a corner to sit down and recover her stamina while watching Victor, who was professionally going from one spider remains to another, collecting GEMs.

“Those things are useless. only the big ones have red GEMs.” Said Victor as he collected everything here then pocketed them.

“How did you know about this Dungeon?” Asked Alex as she saw Victor sit down next to her.

“That’s a secret,” said Victor as he cleaned his daggers with a rug.

Alex didn’t ask any further, as This guy told her nothing. But at least he brought her here to level up.

“What should we do next? In order to clear the dungeon and get out, we need to kill the black widow.”

“Soone entered before us, and I will leave it to him. It is probably poisonous and I don’t have the equipnt required to take her down. Both of us are close to mid-range fighters, while such enemies require far range and AOE attacks.” Said Victor, making Alex nod in understanding. The young master is really knowledgeable.

“Then do we sit and wait here?” Asked Alex. She didn’t want to fight those things anymore.

“No, but we have to be careful and only advance slowly. This is a rare chance to train.” Victor said, aning to train Alex not himself.

The path in front of them was dimly lit by the strange light passing through the miasma. This place had no day-night cycle so this was not sunlight. Victor had no way to confirm that though, as neither he nor his appraisal skill could pass through the thick poisonous gas layer.

Victor and Alex continued to walk slowly while making sure to kill the spiders as they ca. They didn’t want to be surrounded.

Alex was complaining at first, but slowly after killing the 1000th, her fear of spiders turned to pure hatred. She would not hold herself and dismantle any spider she lays her eyes onto.

Victor enjoyed walking behind her to take care of the ones she didn’t notice while giving her pointers every now and then.

It was two hours later when Alex began to feel tired so Victor decided to find so high ledge or a cavern to rest in. But he didn’t need to. As what they suddenly found themselves in front of the building. It looked like a depleted temple, with spider carvings all over its wall.

“Stay vigilant,” Victor instructed as he approached it and began to inspect it.

Finding buildings in dungeons is not a strange thing. As those dungeons are just parts of other worlds that separated from their main world and made their way into this one to be encapsulated by its power. Like the goblin dungeon that was so goblin village in its native world.

This temple was built of so kind of black stone. But the signs of destruction could be seen on it. Rare are buildings that survive cataclysmic events such as changing worlds.

Victor was considering whether it would be safe to explore this ruin when he heard the sound of faint footsteps, and turned with Alex to face the expected enemy. What they saw was a strange barefooted girl coming out of the temple’s half-destroyed gate.

She had long blond hair tied in a ponytail and a slightly scarred face. One of her eyes was covered by a piece of cloth.

She was wearing rags and holding so kind of makeshift spear, probably made from a broken huge spider’s leg, that had a shard of a broken blade embedded in it as its head.

“Is she the black widow?” Alex asked stupidly.

“Idiot, the black widow is a spider. This one is human,” Victor said as he flashed a charming smile at the girl. Intending to greet her. “Hello, my na is Victor, might I inquire about your na?” He said as he activated his appraisal skill, as The girl who said nothing and was just looked at Victor with hatred charged at him with her spear.

“What the……..” Victor was really surprised, but he was barely able to read the information, before noticing that she has engaged with Alex who quickly stood in her way to defend her young master.

“Alex, step back, you are not her opponent.” He quickly shouted at Alex, but it was too late. Alpha has already struck her in her stomach sending her into a far-away wall that collapsed over her body.

Victor frowned but didn’t get distracted. He could see through his screen that Alex is still alive. Scions are impossible to kill by normal players.

Victor stepped back a little as he activated his disguise skill hiding his true position. He was trying to find a chance to negotiate, Assassinate or flee. This was not an enemy he could fight directly at the mont.

“Let introduce myself again, I am Victor….” Victor said but was interrupted by the girl's clear voice.

“Von Weise, I know. The purple hair says it all.” She spat with hatred as she advanced towards him slowly as if asuring his skills.

“You are Alpha right, Beta already told about you. I already saved her with the other. Why don’t you drop your spear and let us talk peacefully” Victor said with a smile, as his real body that was walking around her took out his dagger.

“Oh, let guess, you saved them by making them your slaves?” She asked.

Victor didn’t answer.

“How much did you pay for them?” Alpha said as her skin began to turn bronze. This girl was no idiot as she already felt that sothing was wrong.

“It was their choice. Titus broke so family rules and had to go get spanked on the butt for being a naughty boy,” Victor said while searching for an opening in her stance. He spotted a couple but from his experience, he could easily tell that those were traps.

“Ah, so you scamd them. Did you take Titus’s place? What next, are you going to threaten with their lives?” She asked as she observed the false Victor with a frown.

“No, I am a gentleman. I promised the girls that I will let them go to school, and we will have a lot of fun together as a family.” Victor said.

“You will not get a chance.” She replied as she sprung into action stabbing her spear at Victor’s image, but she didn’t expect her spear to pass through it, so she quickly looked back and defended but it was too late. As Victor’s paralyzing dagger stabbed her body. But nothing happened. The dagger fell to the ground as her body turned into clouds.

“Shit, shadow clone.” Said Victor as he looked around to realize it was too late, Alpha’s spear was an inch from his head, so he quickly stepped back. He avoided the spear but it still injured his face.

He quickly stepped a few steps back disguising his position as he took an Antidote. He was not sure if that Spear contained poison or not. What he didn’t expect was that Alpha suddenly appeared in front of him and threw a net made of spider strings at him before striking him on the chest. Sending him into an adjacent wall, where he laid there stuck in the web that has glued him to the stones.

She looked around making sure that there was nothing wrong and then approached him leisurely.

“Now, what should we do with you, little Victor?” She said with an ugly grin that her scarred face made uglier.

“How did you find my location?” He asked as he prepared his next move.

“A SECRET,” She said.

“You used the vibrations my foot made on the stone ground, didn’t you?” He said. He was not a fool, but he didn’t expect soone her age to know this technique that took decades to learn by martial arts masters.

“Oh, you are smart. Maybe I could treat you the sa way Titus treated . Did you know what he did? He raped for an entire night, disfigured , then slit my throat like a coward. That idiot thought I was dead, but I had one breath left when he threw in this valley to rot. But this gave another chance to live. To get my revenge.” She said with hatred.

“Aren't you afraid the spiders would follow the fighting noise here?” He asked as he focused on breaking the web using his strength.

“This is a safe zone. Those guys never co here” She said, approaching him as her stomach suddenly growled. Making her frown.

“Oh, you must have not eaten a good al for six months then. How about I give you sothing delicious.” He said as he prepared a grenade. He could already feel that the web was coming loose.

“True. Spiders don't have many edible parts. So tonight, I will dine on a Von Weise at dish. I have never eaten a man before so you should cooperate, OK?” She said with an evil smile. making Victor feel that this girl was left alone a little too long.

“I am not that delicious believe .” He said as he got things ready. The grenade’s shock wave should render her unable to feel his foot's vibrations. But he should find a good place to throw it to. He can’t risk his life in the process. As for Alex's Life? That girl is a cockroach that won’t die.

“Ah, That's not what I heard,” Alpha Said as she licked her pretty lips. “There is a rumor that those who eat a Von Weise with a complete bloodline, will get their lifespan massively increased. It must be due to your Elder Dragon bloodline.” She said as she raised her spear and looked at Victor’s blood that stained its head. Victor was shocked that she knew this fact that even his family had no idea about.

“Looking at your blood, it is pure purple. A complete bloodline.” She said. Then, to Victor’s astonishnt, she licked the spearhead in her hand then raised her head in ecstasy as if she was enjoying a delicacy. The scars on her face began to heal fast, showing her true beauty.
