Chapter 142: Despicable Elyon (1/2)

When they entered the area where the concentration of Synthetic Evergreen Poison was richer, Seth gave them an evil grin. He was already holding a bottle of corrupted blood, but none of the elves were paying attention on that, they just wanted to finish him off quickly.

Seth threw the bottle towards them and used his darkness to make it break in the air, spreading everywhere.

When those elves noticed that object coming towards them, they just used their Mana to protect their bodies from a possible attack, but they instantly regretted not immediately running away.

The blood splashed on the ground, mixing together with the poison on the area and a purple smoke formed instantly, surrounding those people. Two of those elves felt an intense sensation of danger and a chill run down their spines. They suddenly retreated with all they got, leaving the area in just some seconds, but unfortunately for one of them, that purple smoke had made contact with both of his arms.

The skin around his arms started to corrode, rotting at an incredible speed. He felt and unknown amount of pain and started to let out loud whimpers of despair. He started to feel weak as if something was syphoning his energy out, but he was able to use all the Mana inside his body to stop the poison from spreading nonetheless. However, that would only buy him some more time.

The other one was lucky to leave unscathed.

However, for those two other Mana Control initial-stage elves that couldn't leave in time...

”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

”ARGH! SAVE ME! AAAAAARGH!!!”

They felt like they had stepped in a forbidden territory inside hell. They lost all the strength to fight back or escape while the entire skin around their bodies started to decay. But that was only the beginning, after that, their muscles and internal organs suffered the same gruesome process.

Elyon heard their screams of pain as if they were right beside his body, because of how intense they were screaming. He observed as two of the members of the Secret Security Unit retreated from the dark fog, while one of them had the bones of both of his arms exposed already, since the skin and muscles were deteriorating.

Elyon instantly recognized the poison that was destroying his arms and decided to act quickly. He knew what would happen if that person was left that way, since he made many similar experimentations on his test subjects inside his hideout.

An arrow was already prepared on his bow. He didn't even need to aim properly to shoot it. That arrow flew silently and passed through the head of that man. He wasn't expecting an attack from behind and he was easily killed by Elyon.

”Master Elyon...” The other elf looked at Elyon unbelieving what he had just seen.

”Don't lose your focus if you want to get out of this situation alive.” Elyon didn't even bother explaining things to him, he just narrowed his eyes and decided to finally act.

A golden glow surrounded his bow and he gathered his Mana on his next arrow. Even the air started to vibrate near his bow as his energy was building up, showing how strong the skill would be.

He pulled the strings of his black war bow, releasing an arrow that flew towards the dark fog area, letting a golden streak behind, on the area it passed by. The golden light pierced that black fog, penetrating deeply, and when it was right at the middle, his arrow exploded in a bright flash of light.

Bang!

Swoosh!

The dark attribute fog dispersed instantly, as if it was chased away by the blinding light. The wind carried the poisoned mist far away from the region where the elves were and the area where that black fog was got revealed.

The bodies of those two elves couldn't be seen anywhere and even Seth was missing.

”...”

Elyon silently observed the entire environment, trying to find traces of Seth's presence. He was an archer and his vision was very good, nothing could escape his senses and very quickly he found something.

”Heh!” He put and arrow on his bow and used the techniques of his family to enhance it. He was about to shoot the same arrow Elydir shot against Xiurong and Ruolan.

Seth felt Elyon was able to figure out his position and started to quickly retreat. His shadow walk was impressive and could even work perfectly against many opponents of his realm, but not against someone one realm higher than him. Elyon was able to identify him while combining his Mana and his vision.
