Chapter 2024
"Mister Wolf has a secret weapon!"
"No wonder!"
• • •
Realization dawned on Fletcher, Scott, and the others as they noticed that the golden cuff Leon was holding must be a grade-two
Almighty Weapon at the very least.
Though Leon managed to defeat the Poisonwielder mainly because of the weapon, Almighty Weapons were extremely hard to
come by and the fact that Loen managed to obtain a grade-two Almighty Weapon was a showcase of his power.
The Dragon Corps was set for failure, but Leon managed to apply great damage to the Poisonwielder on his own and turned the
tables, putting the Dragon Guards at an advantage.
The devastation they felt earlier was instantly replaced by pleasant surprise.
"Fletcher, Scott, the Poisonwielder has been injured! Capture him while you can!" Leon alerted the others.
After making an offering for the past month, he only managed to accumulate a strike in the Intermediate Almighty State and he
already used it up.
Naturally, Leon had another weapon apart from the Cuff of Doom, and that was the Potential Energy Force he received from
Master Haslewood.
Since the Poisonwielder was poisoned by the Deadly Veratrum poison and was severely injured by Leon, he was left
defenseless and Leon saw no reason in wasting the Potential Energy Force on him.
"Yes!" Scott and the others snapped out of it and surrounded the Poisonwielder, preparing to pounce.
"Earthly Barrier!" The Poisonwielder immediately summoned yet another wall from the ground to block their attacks.
"Baam!"
Following a deafening wave of noises, Scott and the others' attacks shattered the wall, sending dirt and sand in the air.
Taking this as his cue to leave, the Poisonwielder leaped into the air and ran away from the Dragon Guards without hesitation.
The bones in his arm were completely shattered by Leon and considering the severe injury he suffered, he no longer had the
capability to fight the Dragon Guards.
On top of that, he was poisoned by the Deadly Veratrum poison. Though he managed to suppress its effect by taking the
antidotes he carried with him, the poison started to spread toward his organs after the earlier fight. If he failed to counter the
poison in time, he would surely perish.
He dared not to dream of getting rid of Leon and wanted to get away as soon as possible to focus on recovering from his injuries.
The Poisonwielder was confident that he possessed the skill to counter the Deadly Veratrum poison and knew that he could
always hunt Leon down afterward.
"He is trying to run! Stop him!” Scott sensed his intention and immediately charged through the dust and dirt in the air to go after
the Poisonwielder.
"Just leave me alone! Scram!" The Poisonwielder scoffed and tossed a handful of white powder toward the Dragon Guards.
As an expert in poison, he possessed far more than just the Reaper's Breath.
The white powder was a less powerful poison compared to the Reaper's Breath, but was just as effective.
