Second Life Ranker Chapter 290 - Poseidon (2)

Chapter 290 – Poseidon (2)

Actually, what Yeon-woo acquired was slightly different from the Poison Blood he knew.

[Residual Poison Blood]

Numbering 28

Summary: The combination of poison of souls that is only found on the 30th floor and the extreme poisons that Anti Venom made, in addition to the Devil King Poison and some Dragon Blessings.

It can cause critical damage depending on how it is used, and your blood will be acidic and poisonous.

*Hundred Poison Immunity

You gain a strong resistance to many poisons and acids. Even if you are poisoned, immune cells will quickly be created. You will automatically store the information about the poison and acid that was in your body.

*Venom Factory

An organ that exudes poisonous formulas will be created next to your heart. The poisons will flow through your circulatory system. The quality of the poison will improve as a result of the information from Hundred Poison Immunity. Depending on the concentration in your blood, the quality of the poison will change, and it may be able to harm the user, so you must be careful.

Also, the higher the proficiency of the skill, the more superior the poison becomes.

*Poison Fog

A heavy Poison Fog will be created using a great amount of your blood. The more you enter the center of Poison Fog, the stronger the concentration of poison becomes, and there are multiple symptoms of being poisoned.

**Information about currently learned poison (8 kinds)

1.Devil King Poison

Soul poison

Ecstasy Heal

…..

‘The numbering is the same…..’

Even the summary of the skill was similar to Bayluk’s.

A skill that granted outstanding resistance to poison and used your blood to artificially create poison.

Bayluk used this in many ways.

He would rub his blood on his comrades’ swords and share the poison, store the blood inside a gla.s.s bottle and throw it when he needed to, and many more things.

The Poison Fog that used a great amount of blood and made the environment deadly by killing everyone, regardless of whether they were allies or enemies, was especially destructive.

The Residual Poison Blood was exactly the same summary-wise.

There was only one difference.

‘It adds the knowledge of new poisons.’

Bayluk used two different ways to amplify the power of his Poison Blood.

One of them was to raise the skill’s proficiency to make it more effective, and the other was to combine it with another skill to combine multiple poisons at once.

But the Residual Poison Blood made it so he didn’t have to do that.

An option that a.n.a.lyzed the formula of the poison through immune cells.

‘So it means that the effects of the skill will be greater the more poisons I touch, right?’

It might’ve been because he had forced down all of Bayluk’s extreme poisons using the Regeneration skill over and over again.

Soul poison and Devil King Poison.

He had succeeded in creating an antidote for the most poisonous toxins.

It might’ve been because his body responded to the poison and created new immunities, or it might’ve been because of the special power of the Demonic Dragon Body.

Whatever the reason was, Yeon-woo was satisfied. Of course it wasn’t a bad thing.

In fact, Yeon-woo was going to set up an appointment with Atran and By the Table immediately after this trial was over. He was going to ask for all the extreme and pure poisons he could get.

‘I hope it’ll be effective.’

With those thoughts, Yeon-woo gripped Cars.h.i.+na’s Dagger backwards and cut his wrist.

As his veins were cut, a fountain of blood gushed out. The injury was quickly healed with his Regeneration skill, and the blood that was poured out all became a heavy dark red fog and spread into the air.

At that moment.

“Rise.”

On Yeon-woo’s orders, a shadow stretched out, and tens of the Monster Portents that were waiting appeared.

[The Third Spirit]

Then Yeon-woo’s Authority was activated.

His strengthened Authority from Azrael’s continued Blessings influenced the Monster Portents vastly.

With the buff effects, the Poison Fog floated down on the Monster Portents.

「Kiaaaak!」

「Kyak! Kyakyakya!」

The Monster Portents all shrieked with joy. A reddish light appeared on their skins, which had only been an ashy black before.

They had begun to take on the qualities of the poison as they absorbed. Every breath they breathed out was filled with acidic poison.

‘There’s no reason that I should be limited to putting my blood on weapons or on the Poison Fog.’

Yeon-woo already had strong attacks. His Wave of Fire could now be used wide-range, and when his black Aura was added on top of it, there was nothing he couldn’t cut through.

Wherever black Aura touched, an option called ‘Simmering Spark’ was activated, and until his opponents were completely swept away by fire, they were hit with damage again and again.

So he didn’t have to stake his victory on the Residual Poison Blood.

The fact that it was both effective and easy-to-use was nice.

However, if it could be used as another weapon for his shadows, things were different.

Strengthening his Monster Portents.

The Monster Portents had the potential to do many things because they could freely move through shadows.

Also, because they were born strong, they could easily take care of most players.

But if they became stronger, it was even better. If he gave them the poison, they would be able to do even more.

Furthermore, Residual Poison Blood used Yeon-woo’s blood. It was a good nutrient for the Monster Portents, and they could accept the Poison Fog without any problems.

「Kyaaaa! Kyak!」

Monster Portents began to jump off the cliff.

The players who were cleaning up the port looked back instinctively and were taken by surprise.

“W, What is…..! Kuk!”

「Kyak!」

The player who found the Monster Portents first couldn’t even finish his scream. Suddenly, a Monster Portent raised his nails and scratched the player’s face violently. The player’s head was cut and popped off.

Other Monster Portents moved quickly and attacked the other players.

“What are these…..!”

“Where did they come from?”

“Block them! Block…..keck!”

The Monster Portents were quick and moved with dexterity. Before the players could even get their weapons in place, the Monster Portents dashed through the shadows.

They aimed for the weak spots of the human body.

Players who couldn’t defend themselves felt the pain of their arms and legs being cut off.

Those with s.h.i.+elds barely blocked the threatening attacks, but pieces of the armor they were wearing were sliced off, and they were injured as well.

“How dare you…..!”

The players quickly twisted around to catch the Monster Portents, but they were already settled deep in the shadow.

While they were about to move with annoyed faces—

“Kuk!”

The players suddenly lost their balance and fell to the ground vomiting blood.

“What is this…..!”

Messages suddenly began to pop up in front of them.

[You have been poisoned by ‘Residual Poison Blood!’]

[You are entering a ‘Confused’ state.]

[You are entering a ‘Poisoned’ state.]

[You are entering a ‘Severe Bleeding’ state.]

…..

[A lot of your health has decreased.]

[A lot of your attacking power has been decreased.]

[A lot of your defensive power has been decreased.]

[Your life is quickly draining.]

‘Just when?’

All the players were thinking this.

The injuries they received were minor, but they suddenly felt like their injured body parts were going to fall off, and parts of their flesh began to rot. Blood incessantly poured out, and they became dizzy.

It was a poison that was too strong. An extreme poison that put one in a critical condition with just a tiny amount.

The players who were quick to think barely caught their breath after cutting off their infected limbs. However, the players who were late by just a little bit died extremely painful deaths.

They quickly attempted to drink their healing potions, but it only delayed the effects of the poison for a small moment.

“Aaack!”

“Keack! This is craz…..!”

At the same time that the players were pushed away from fear, the s.h.i.+ps began to crack.

If they couldn’t be cracked, their sails were ripped, or they filled up with water.

Players died, and their souls were absorbed immediately after. Monster Portents ate at their food without leaving anything behind and got rid of all the players in the port.

‘It’s more effective than I thought.’

Yeon-woo didn’t interfere with what the Monster Portents were doing and just looked down with his Draconic Eyes wide open. He observed the Monster Portents closely.

It was a successful experiment.

‘And there must’ve been the increase of holy power too.’

Obviously, the Monster Portents didn’t become stronger just because of Residual Poison Blood. It was because the effects of the four elixirs to turn one into a G.o.dly Human were relayed to them as well.

With this, he wouldn’t have to hide them anymore as a secret weapon.

All this time, even though he had the Monster Portents, he didn’t use them unless it was necessary because he didn’t want to attract anyone’s attention. The reason why he didn’t pull them out during the fight with Waltz’s Primeval Body was also because of his resolve not to reveal his full strength.

However, it seemed like it would be a very useful weapon now.

If he was powerful enough to make Triton like this, it meant that he wouldn’t struggle against most groups.

‘But it’s time for him to start appearing.’

While the s.h.i.+ps were sinking one by one, Yeon-woo didn’t step up.

Actually, if he wanted to, he could blow away all the s.h.i.+ps with a Wave of Fire.

The reason why he wasn’t was not just because he was testing the Monster Portent’s abilities, but it was also because he was waiting for someone to come.

‘Benteke.’

He was picking a fight to finish the fight that they weren’t able to before.

‘Something’s coming.’

Yeon-woo felt something quickly approach him. It was an apostle with powerful holy power. Under the mask, Yeon-woo’s face slightly crumpled.

‘It’s not Benteke.’

He knew because he had swallowed a part of Poseidon’s holy power. It was similar to Poseidon’s, but it wasn’t his.

It was similar. It seemed like one of the directors of Triton had appeared.

“Stop immediately!”

Kw.a.n.g!

Something suddenly dropped from the sky.

It was a man who didn’t fall short of Benteke’s sharp aura. He appeared with a large wave and broken s.h.i.+p pieces.

“It’s Sir Ted!”

“It’s Lieutenant Ted! Lieutenant Ted is here!”

The expressions of the players who were struggling against the Monster Portents brightened as soon as they saw Ted. They thought their savior had come.

However, Ted pushed the cheers of his subordinates behind him and looked around with blazing eyes. A fierce aura came from him.

Ted powerfully swung his hands around.

As he did, waves shot up and poured down on the Monster Portents.

The Monster Portents frantically went back into the shadows when the water came down.

Ted followed where the shadows were moving with his eyes.

Above the cliff, Yeon-woo was looking down at them. He looked exactly how he did when he fought Benteke.

Ted confirmed his suspicion that Yeon-woo was hiding a skill. The h.o.a.rder was trying to use the skill that he hadn’t shown when he was fighting Benteke here.

But foolishly, the h.o.a.rder had made a mistake. Ted was sure that the reason why the h.o.a.rder wasn’t partic.i.p.ating in the battle was because his body hadn’t recovered yet.

Pat—

Ted tossed himself up without any hesitation. He thought he would be able to take care of Yeon-woo then.

However.

Clang!

Ted wasn’t able to attack Yeon-woo. Yeon-woo’s shadow stretched wide apart and blocked him. Shanon and Hanryeong were crossing their swords in an “X” shape to block him, their Inferno Sights ablaze.

“Who do you think you are?!”

Ted tried to twist his body to take care of Shanon and Hanryeong, who were getting in the way. Antaeus’s holy power activated again, and a powerful strength whirled around the two.

No, it tried to. At that moment, Ted’s shadow unraveled like vines and wrapped around him. Monster Portents that had suffered from him were attempting to bind him.

Ted reflectively moved to shake them off. But he vomited at the stinging pain that suddenly flowed through his body.

“What is…..!”

Strange messages about his condition popped up. Ted usually didn’t blink an eye at most poisons.

He had never heard of a pure poison like this that was enough to dominate an apostle.

He ripped apart the shadows with his holy power, thinking that he would be in even more danger, but Shanon and Hanryeong quickly moved and stuck swords into his body.

The poison spread throughout his body faster. The shadow tentacles gathered again and reached up to his chin.

Cough…..

He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t move. His body didn’t listen to him.

He felt like his heart and soul were bound by something he couldn’t see.

Above Yeon-woo’s head, two lines were drawn and opened. They were blazing blue eyes. Eyes with fire that looked like h.e.l.lfire were looking down at him.

It was Boo’s Inferno Sight.

「Nothing. Can. Approach. Master. Without. Permission.」

Ted turned blank. He couldn’t think of anything. Only one emotion filled his mind. Fear. Or horror.

What was it? He felt like he was looking at someone a living person shouldn’t see. Save me. Ted wanted to shout those words.

He couldn’t hear Antaeus’s voice either. His holy power was tied up, not moving.

He didn’t even know what the shadows that struck their swords in him were.

There was only one thing he could see.

Death.

Ted’s shaking eyes fixed on Yeon-woo, but Yeon-woo just looked at him in amus.e.m.e.nt.

“Does it work on apostles too? I suppose it’s because of Poseidon’s Blessing. This will be useful.”

With those words, Yeon-woo stretched his hand out towards Ted’s face. Black aura flared up like fireworks on his fingertips.

Ted’s eyes didn’t close until the end. He couldn’t believe that he had lost without being able to even touch Yeon-woo. He felt wronged.

And scared.

Puk!
