Chapter 437: Killing Dark Mask (I)
The Scarlet King had altered the Endless Poison Raven’s molecular composition to explode upon contact with oxygen, but that was just to spread its main genetic modification more effectively. The Grand King Beast’s poison was transformed into a potent genetic virulent toxin that could infect someone just by touching their flesh.
Immediately, Dark Mask used his Essence Wave to push back the poison and the Law of Ice to freeze the parts of his body that had been affected, stopping the spread while also freezing the air around him.
As expected from an Apotheosis Realm Master, he could handle the toxin incredibly fast, but the same could not be said for the rest of the Atroxs in the hall. The six jurors and Silent Shadows were all vomiting on the ground and could barely move as the poison had already invaded their bodies, overcoming their immune systems.
"Old River!"
Dark Mask shouted with rage as he focused once again on the old man and saw him flashing toward the ceiling of lava.
The fact that the old man was not affected by the poison did not surprise Dark Mask since it was obvious this one would have taken an antitoxin before. Still, he was not afraid the Atrox could escape.
"Hmph! Your pathetic power is not enough to pierce the magma."
Just as Dark Mask shouted those words, a massive drill made from three different types of giant branches pierced through the ceiling of magma, caught Old River, and then pulled back.
For a moment, Dark Mask was left speechless, unable to believe what he saw. The old man had come and taken out the body of a Grand King Beast that exploded, poisoning everybody in the hall. Then, a drill of giant branches pierced the magma and helped him escape. Even if he told someone about this, who would believe him?
Dark Mask’s first instinct was to pierce through the ceiling of magma and go after Old River, killing the man and everyone else. However, before his emotions could get the better of him, blue light flooded his eyes, and he was able to calm down.
