Chapter 1338 - Poison
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the alchemy room of the golden castle, Abel was wearing armour of beast skin from head to toe. Not a single patch of his own skin was exposed.
His mouth and nose were covered with a replicated mask from his past life, and his eyes were shielded by a transparent crystal.
The day had finally come where he combined the life poison he got from those sea bees.
On the corner of the room, a bull had already collapsed, and its body began to mangle.
Only a drop of life poison had been injected into the bull, and the combining process had only started.
If enough life poison was injected, even a god rank would be poisoned.
So Abel immediately knew he had to put on his protection.
Afterward, Abel carefully distributed the life poison into 100 bottles of dark world crystal glass. Only a crystal glass of this strength could stop him from worrying.
Everything was completed with his world stone ignited. At first, he was planning to use the power of the will, but he soon realized life poison could even corrode the power of the will.
The combination process was extremely simple with the Horadric cube, but he just needed to take in mind how lethal the thing he was making.
The first combination showed a dark hue on the poison, and blue sparks emerged on the surface. Abel’s face twitched. The life poison was recognized by the Horadric Cube.
He was a long-time user of the Horadric Cube, and he knew that it could combine every form of liquid.
But If the form of liquid was recognized by the Horadric cube, a glow that signified their rank would emerge.
Blue spark meant the poison was blue rank, which meant it still had the potential to be level up again.
Abel hesitated. How powerful was the poison going to be?
But when he remembered he was now facing god rank enemies, he proceeded.
After some more careful combinations, he ended up with 5 bottles of life poison sparkling in dark gold.
“Magic spirit, open the energy shield!” Abel commanded.
A 1 square meter dimension created by an energy shield capable of blocking a god rank then emerged within the room.
Abel carefully placed a bottle of life poison into the dimension and poured a bottle of poison antidote down his throat before twisting the lid open.
His power of the will made contact with the life poison, but he was not affected due to the law of the antidote.
However, he knew he would only be able to sustain for 5 seconds before his antidote lost its power.
He used that time to quickly take out a drop of poison and took the bottle of poison back out from the energy shield dimension.
The drop that remained quickly began to drain the energy around, and the god rank dimension was completely broken down in a minute.
Abel gazed towards that poison sparkling in dark gold. A drop of sweat rolled down from his forehead.
There was no way his defense would be able to stop that thing. He would be as good as dead if he did not take the antidote beforehand.
Poison was the scariest attack of this world, and Abel just created something extremely scary. If he used it well, it could be just as powerful as the super cannon.
However, the best way to test it out was on a true god rank. Where was he going to find one?
He couldn’t make a move on his friends, and he couldn’t pick a fight with the wizard union.
He also didn’t know if the holy kingdom had any good ranks. After all, thief god Milton had roamed around in the Holy kingdom for months and never saw any god ranks.
“Do I need to do something bigger?” Abel just wouldn’t believe there was no god rank in the Holy Kingdom. Maybe they were all guarding the demon from beyond.
He thought to himself as he gazed back at the liquified energy shield. He couldn’t leave this thing around anymore.
So he took out an antidote from his portal bag and threw it into the energy shield. Soon, the drop of black poison within it began to fade, and the energy shield began to recover.
Afterward, he stepped out of the alchemy room before taking off his armor for the puppets to clean.
“Magic circle spirit, clean the alchemy room!” He was still a little worried, so he commanded.
He was not a traditional wizard with a lot of experience, so it was best to take fewer risks when it came to things like this.
After all, he grew way too fast. Hundreds of years of the journey was completed in just 10 years.
His golden castle was the final product of the dwarves after studying magic towers for countless years. Its functions were more advanced than most wizards’ laboratories.
As he commanded, a golden spark emerged from his alchemy room, and all the energy inside was directly teleported outside.
Afterward, a few ancient puppets entered and began cleaning up everything with special potion water.
Afterward, Abel found a designated spot in his holy portal bag and neatly placed the 5 life poisons there.
Although the holy potion bag was in a separate dimension that would not move around, it was still better to separate such a highly dangerous substance from the rest.
Abel then returned to the balcony and saw the dragons.
After an intense battle and being separated from their wives for half a day, all 8 dragons gathered in the golden castle again since last night.
“Brother Kemble, why are you so happy?” Abel asked, seeing the smiles on the dragons’ faces. The male had wine on their hands, and the female had juice on their hands. Almost like they were celebrating something.
“Brother Abel, Evelyn is pregnant. The golden castle is amazing!” Gold Dragon Kemble laughed.
Abel turned to green dragon Evelyn. No wonder she was drinking juice instead of wine.
“Congrats, Green Dragon Balfour!” Abel turned and also poured himself a juice.
“Blue dragon Abel, we thank you with all our heart!’ Green Dragon Balfour bowed. After all, Abel was the one who defused his poison and the one who helped his wife get pregnant.
However, his nose suddenly noticed something as he gazed towards Abel with a strange look.
“What’s up?” Abel asked in confusion.
“Blue dragon Abel, did you just make contact with poison?” Green dragon Balfour asked
Abel couldn’t help but admire the sensitivity of a green dragon. He could tell even he was wearing a full suit of armor.
“You are too sensitive to poison!” Abel sighed.
“Blue dragon Abel, I can tell even if it is a tiny bit of poison!” Geez, Dragon Balfour laughed.
“I just took care of the life poisons I got!” Abel decided to be honest since the dragons saw him gathering the poison.
“Brother Abel, I know you are a grandmaster alchemist but you have to be careful with life poison. Even god ranks are scared of them!” Gold Dragon Kemble warned.
“Brother, I know!” Abel nodded and did not say much. He knew Gold Dragon Kemble was only caring for him.
“Wait, that can’t be life poison. Its scent is much scarier. In fact it is scarier than anything I’ve ever smelled!” Green dragon Balfour shook his head.
“I’ve done some processing of the life poison!” Abel explained.
“Can you… give me some?” Green dragon Balfour asked in embarrassment.
As a green dragon, studying poison was the best way to strengthen his skills, so he just couldn’t resist himself.
“Green dragon Balfour, the life potion I made is a little special. A single drop can kill a god rank. Even a green dragon stands no chance!’ Abel immediately rejected thinking about the wife and child green dragon Balfour would leave over if he died.
After all, it was dark gold poison combined through the Horadric Cube.
It was not something a mere antidote could defuse.
“Balfour, brother Abel is not a stingy guy, so must have his reason for rejecting you!” Gold Dragon Kemble interrupted when he saw green dragon Balfour was about to say something again.
Those dragons were all enjoying free food, drinks, and even top level gems from the golden castle, so of course, they knew Abel was not cheap.
Abel’s confidence just showed how powerful that poison was, but Abel was not planning to use the poison himself.
Instead, he was planning to give it to Thief god Milton. One was to make up for his lack of attack. Second, he was about to do something big in the holy kingdom and get more followers.
In order to ensure his safety, those poisons would definitely come in handy. But of course, the same amount of antidote was needed as well.
Green dragon Balfour understood. He knew he was not close to Abel like the other dragons.
You could tell just by the way they address each other.
His demand was too much, and he knew Abel was not lying.
“Sorry, blue dragon Abel. My demand is too embarrassing!” He bowed.
“Don’t Worry!” Abel smiled.
The cheerful atmosphere continued on the balcony, and the celebration for the creation of a new dragon continued into the afternoon.
However, Abel was the first one to leave. He then jumped on the Fire Tooth battle fort and sent Thief god Milton back to the Holy Kingdom. Without anyone knowing, the Holy Kingdom’s nightmare had returned..
