The bottle that was thrown high floated into the rainy sky.

The bottle containing the poison didn’t last long.

The bottle soon broke, unable to withstand the heat of the flame I shot after being thrown into the air with great force.

Kwaaang!

The bottle was strong enough to safely contain the poison that quickly melted in the air and took effect, so the sound of the bottle exploding was quite loud. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The poison scattered between the pieces of the shattered bottle and the gap between the red dragon’s hot wind.

The ominous poison dissolved into the air and rain, becoming colorless and odorless, and disappeared without a trace.

However, only the form was gone, and the poison spread widely to kill the powers within range.

At first glance, when I threw something and activated my power, the enemies who were on guard were unable to grasp the situation.

I was the closest and was affected by the poison the fastest.

‘Every time I breathe in, the poison spreads. Should I hold my breath? No, it’s meaningless because it’s also digging into my exposed skin. Since it’s a poison that erases abilities, I can’t stop it by wrapping my body in the poison or using skills.’

I felt the poison digging into my body and trying to erase my abilities with my whole body.

Feeling my abilities disappearing against my will was similar to having my arms and legs cut off while I was alive.

My fingers, which had been moving naturally, gradually became dull and paralyzed, and soon I couldn’t move my entire arm, and it felt like it was falling off my body.

I was aware of the poison, so I prepared myself mentally, but my heart was heavy when I thought of the players who had experienced this sensation during the other world raid without knowing what was going on and had fought enemies without abilities and died.

However, this feeling and sensation didn’t last long.

The rampaging abilities didn’t disappear easily.

And there was an enemy before my eyes.

“Retreat!”

“But not yet.......”

“Hurry! If we’re late, we won’t be able to escape!”

The one who had been silent even after seeing the poison in my hand, as if he had mistaken me, who didn’t seem to be in my right mind, to drink the poison and experiment on my body alone, gave the order.

The one with the authority to command seemed to know clearly what the poison was and what its range of effects were, but his subordinates had no idea.

He had heard of the runaway inducer for the operation, but it had no direct connection, and he knew nothing about the poison, one of the blackmailers’ valuable weapons.

‘As expected. The blackmailer is a secretive person, so there’s no way he could properly share information. That’s why it’s been hard to get information even if he’s caught and tortured the underlings.’

There were many things that were difficult to know because of the blackmailer’s secrecy, but there was a way to use it.

If the underlings of the dark curtain don’t know all the moves, they won’t be able to counter even if I use the dark curtain’s moves.

The enemies tried to run away as ordered, even though they didn’t know English.

They weren’t pretending to fool me, but they were really retreating.

‘I guess they have the antidote for the poison on standby. Well, they probably didn’t expect that.’

After finding out everything I wanted to know, I moved.

I raised my hand, which was shaking slightly as the poison and the rampage inducer fought each other for control within my body.

The power wave still flowing in my hand seemed to be more affected by the rampage inducer, and if I didn’t concentrate, sparks would explode as if they would cause a huge fire at any moment.

However, the voice I spat out at the enemies who tried to make Yeom Jun-yeol go berserk didn’t tremble at all.

“Have you forgotten what I did at the dream auction?”

The retreating enemies were still within range of my voice, but no one answered.

Even if he didn’t answer, he must have recalled the events that happened at the Dream Auction one by one.

They would think of many things and soon reach the same conclusion.

The wall of fire that was the culprit of ‘that word’ was like that.

The huge wall of fire that covered the surface of the auction house building was very noticeable, indicating that this was the Dream Auction House, and it prevented the participants of the disgusting auction from easily escaping.

And since he was doing something that was ‘that word’-like for the first time, he couldn’t leave it out.

〈Use the skill of the corresponding character, ‘Remote Ignition’〉

Pfft!

The hidden sparks that had been planted in advance with Yeom Jun-yeol’s power reacted to the remote ignition and flared up all at once.

He had to use both the ability poison and the rampage inducer at the same time, so he couldn’t come unprepared.

The enemies stopped in front of the wall of fire.

‘It’s easier than at the Dream Auction. At that time, because someone ran away, I had to catch Choi Pyeon-deuk separately, and I also got a dream list with the names of Kwon Rena’s adoptive parents.’

When I thought about that, the flames flared up even more and a hot wind spread around me like a whirlwind.

Just as the runaway inducer couldn’t exert its power when thinking about ‘shining things,’ it seemed to react greatly to other emotions and increase its output.

Because of that, the wind and rain containing the poisonous power in the air poured down on the enemies.

There was no way that those who couldn’t use their powers could overcome the wall of fire that Yeom Jun-yeol had summoned with his power, which wouldn’t go out even in the rain.

“How can a wall of that level be... when it’s raining...!”

Although it was raining, the land around here was overflowing with the energy of fire, as if they were summoning a volcano.

As long as the wall of fire I summoned was touching the ground, the fire wouldn’t go out with this kind of rain.

However, the enemies did not give up easily and tried to find a gap along the high wall of fire.

While the enemies were making a futile resistance, I watched the battle between the poison and the rampage inducer unfolding in my body.

‘The poison and the rampage inducer definitely have completely opposite effects. They are like a spear and a shield. However, it would be difficult to use one as an antidote to the other.’

I calmly observed the state of my body.

The poison and the rampage inducer are like a spear that can pierce anything and a shield that can block anything, but when I used them on my body at the same time, I felt like I was being crushed by being caught between the spear and the shield while testing them.

It was like administering a strong antipyretic to someone suffering from a high fever, but as the fever went up and down, the cells were destroyed or degenerated due to the high fever, and the side effects of the antipyretic damaged the stomach lining and caused liver dysfunction, so it was similar to the body completely being destroyed before it could do anything about the fever.

As the power poison and the rampage inducer fought for control over the power sect, my whole body felt like it was going to break apart.

‘Hyangrok was truly an amazing pharmacist.’

Hyangrok created an antidote that would not kill anyone even if they ate it with the power poison extracted from the frozen other world.

The side effect of the power poison antidote was only melting the internal organs, and now it was amazing that not only the Jin clan but also players like Yeom Bang-yeol and Kwon Je-in could use it.

After being impressed by Hyangrok, I laughed at the efficient malice of the mastermind.

The mastermind, who knew of the existence of the power poison, must have created the antidote and the rampage inducer to utilize it.

And now, there was someone who was directly involved in that.

He said, giving priority to running away, but responding with martial arts if necessary.

“Hold on! It won’t last long. The rampage inducer will soon disappear, but the poison will stay for a long time.”

The researcher said with confidence.

Considering the two’s goals, it was obvious.

The mastermind would not want to leave traces of the rampage inducer.

If drugs were detected in the body of a player who was killed by rampage, wouldn’t all the effort to revise the law go down the drain?

After Yeom Jun-yeol’s death in Plumago, the Red Lion and Dragon Tribe examined and investigated the body as if they were tearing apart their own bodies, but they never heard of any traces of rampage inducers or suspicious drugs.

In the replay, Yeom Jun-yeol felt a stabbing sensation in his neck, but when they killed him, they must have stuck an arrowhead in the same place to erase the trace.

However, the poison has to stay around for a long time [N O V E L I G H T] so that other players who came to rescue him can also be poisoned and killed together.

‘Yeah, the poison will stay in my body longer.’

The poison and the rampage inducer.

The winner was the poison that would stay in my body for a long time.

If I leave it like this, I will lose my powers, and Gwangrim will be released and I will return to my original form.

In that case, the only thing that hides my identity is the crow mask.

Before that happens, I had to do more experiments while the effects of the rampage inducer and the poison still remained.

〈Gwangrim, use ‘Player’s Trajectory’.〉

The ‘Nameless Fate’ that I held in my hand unseen changed into the card of my playable character.

It was the card of Gwak Kyung-gu, who was leading hundreds of students somewhere on Mt. Halla.

I wanted to test whether the grace that could only be used for a hundred seconds a day could detoxify the poison and the rampage inducer.

As a bonus, it was a bonus to recover my body in front of the enemy.

〈The target character’s light, ‘100 seconds of grace’ is used.〉

Using the power of student vice president Kwak Kyung-gu in the form of student council president Yeom Jun-yeol of Eun Kwang-go, it felt luxurious and excessive.

When Kwak Kyung-gu’s light was activated, his shaking hands calmed down, and the pain disappeared from various parts of his body that he suspected had stopped other than feeling pain.

When I saw that he was fine, the enemy was shocked.

“It is presumed that he used the body regeneration superpower. The pace of recovery is beyond that of a normal person. The movement of his pupils and the functions of his body returned to normal in an instant!”

“Did you jump in alone, believing in that superpower!”

A sigh was heard.

The superpower wave that had been changing in an unpredictable manner also returned to normal.

Every time the superpower poison spread in the air tried to eat away at his body, the superpower would erase the poison again.

When it became clear that I, standing at the center of the poisonous power, was using my power, the enemy's agitation grew even greater.

"There's no way I can use that power for long. If there were no restrictions, why would I have to imitate Yeom Jun-yeol and act like a fool at the dream auction!"

There weren't only those among the enemy who were easy to deal with and deceive.

When the one who gave the order shouted, the enemies regained their composure.

As the researcher said, the power of Kwak Kyung-gu  couldn’t be used for long.

The limited time of 100 seconds, and my available Kwangrim time that was reduced accordingly, disappeared in an instant.

I knew what I wanted and recovered my body, but I couldn’t use Kwak Kyung-gu’s power any longer.

Now it was time to end it.

I summoned Hongryong and slowly walked towards the enemy.

〈Target character’s Kwangrim, use ‘Hongryong Summoning〉

There were two playable character powers that could be used at the same time.

One was Yeom Jun-yeol, who was borrowing his appearance.

The other was Kwak Kyung-gu, but I was planning to replace it with the most suitable target to use right now.

I withdrew Kwak Kyung-gu’s power and fixed the card.

〈Kwangrim, use ‘Player’s Trajectory’〉

The first thing I was aiming for was the researcher who was giving the orders.

The researcher, who had been swallowing dry saliva while looking back and forth between the swaying wall of fire and me, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He seemed to see something through the crack in the wall.

The researcher's expression changed.

"How about we try this too!"

The researcher materialized one of the item cards.

There was nothing drawn on the surface of the item card just before it materialized.

It was just pitch-black, ominous darkness.

The moment the materialized darkness covered me, the wall of fire shook violently, allowing me to see what the researcher had seen.

The area beyond the wall of fire was covered entirely in an evil darkness, and soon it became one with the darkness the researcher had summoned, engulfing me as I stood there with the Hongryong.
