The change in the aura surrounding the man, that step by step approached Bane naturally didn’t escape his attention

……What is this heavy pressure……

It’s completely different from moments ago.

Since the heroes collapsed, poisoned, this man didn’t take his gaze off me.

All this time I cannot shake the feeling that he stares at my core, the heart.

Shivering comes over my body as I look into those eyes. Butー

…The opponent is a mere carrier…!

Even if he previously was a dragon knight, this fact doesn’t change.

In the end, it’s still a beginner-tier job.

All I have to do is hit him with poison. Thus, Bane raised both of his hands.

「ーGo 【Miasma](Poison Missile)」

With those words, the poison spheres that manifested on top of Bane’s palms flew forwards.

The speed was high. Going like that they flew in a straight line to Axel’s torsoー

「……!」

And didn’t hit.

Because the moment before they would make a contact, Axel kicked off the ground and dashed at me, while avoiding the projectiles.

…He saw right through them…?!

He evaded them, not allowing the missiles to even graze him.

Looks like this carrier has good eyes. But, to be honest, this attack didn’t matter at all.

「You are charging at me again, knowing that I will recover anyway? Kuku, one-trick pony. Well, slash anywhere you like. 」

The real aim was to receive an attack.

Right. My body is protected by the armor of poison. The skill named【Infection Armor](shell of poison).

The instant before an enemy will land an attack, they would be hit with a wave of poison that I’m clad in. A neurotoxin, that would rob them of their eyes, ears, noses, and even the freedom of movement.

The poison that can instantly kill the lot, that didn’t have poison resistance. Thereforeー

「Eat this…」

Bane spread his arms, facing Axel, who brandished the spear.

And turned to him in a way that he would hit the area where the poison armor was the thickest.

「Before that, bask in this!」

Before his opponent could swing the spear, he released a wave of poison from his body.

And Axel took all of it.

…I did it…!

Without anti-poison skills, it’s a lethal dose. The effect will show up immediately, making him drop to the ground without even a chance to attack me. At least that’s what Bane expected to happenー

「Guou…?!」

He was forcibly struck into the abdomen with the spear.

●

While showered in poison, Axel surely felt the sensation of landing attacks on the target with his sword.

「Guah…」

「Yeah. Though you can recover, the impact of attacks still goes through.」

Looking at the rakshasa that spat blood from his mouth, he now was confident that the damage goes through.

「You bastard… Jumping right into neurotoxin that should have paralyzed you, do you have an anti-poison skill……?!」

Of course.

I already transported it from the past. So this is the majin that claims to have the power of Byakko.

…The force of the strike is enough to send him flying.

In this case, I have plenty of ways to deal with him.

As such, I decided to try them out, one by oneー

「Then, the next one.」

Once again I charge at the rakshasa.

●

「…Hmm, I didn’t think that there is anything like poison resistance among carrier’s skills…… But, well, fine. I can easily counter it!」

I have prepared a poison capable of getting through poison resistance.

Never did I think that I would have to use the accumulation of my efforts for the past ten years on some lowly carrier. Howeverー

…In a way it’s fitting for a former hero!

「You also should have a taste of my research! 「Corruption」!」

I release the compound poison.

The attack went in a straight line. This time it grazed him. Butー

「This poison also doesn’t work……?」

Axel kept moving.

Even though he was poisoned.

「Is it a new type of resistance skill? No, wrong. ……You are merely enduring it, aren’t you?」

I saw it.

The carrier’s arms had inflamed spots.

……It works.

Now I’m sure.

I’m clad in poison armor.

The more he attacks me, the more poison he voluntarily takes.

……In other words, the more attacks I get, the more advantageous things turn for me.

As such, I will provoke him some more.

Let him go mad, making him voluntarily shower in even more poison.

For that goal, I even used the prospects of poison losing its power once I’m dead.

Until now it worked fine.

Until now, by using that alone, I was able to take down a number of legend-tier adventurers.

Even if they have resistance to poison, completely blocking the effect is impossible.

「Hahaha, that’s right!! As long as I have the power from the earth. All you can do is wane away! It’s impossible to kill me here!」

●

Certainly, it’s just as the rakshasa said.

With poison resistance skills alone it’s impossible to completely block the damage.

Continuing the fight here isn’t the best idea.

As such, I decided.

「Rakshasa. I will take you to my battlefield……!」

「Ngh……?!」

Dashing towards the rakshasa I use the past transportation.

「Combination of【Dragon Kick],【Charge of Soaring Dragon]…! 」

A moment later I kicked off the ground with enough force to send crack through it and charged forward.

「Whaー?!」

The speed was high enough to cause a vapor explosion behind my back.

And before the rakshasa could even respond I pierced his torso with the spear.

「Guh…!」

But that wasn’t all. It’s a combo attack.

「……!!」

Maintaining the speed, at which I charged, I press forward.

I just keep going, breaking through the walls of warehouses, lined-up in this area.

With every broken warehouse wall, the rakshasa takes more and more damage. Butー

「This much… Is not enough to stop my regeneration!」

Just as he said, cut or crushed by the warehouse walls, he soon recovered.

This much I can see myself. I knew this even before I started. And soー

「ーAnd now, rakshasa, bid farewell to the ground.」

「……?!」

Eventually, as we came close enough to the God Tree, I activated the skill.

The one that I can now use without worry since the God Tree was healed and thus recovered it’s durability.

「Dragon Drive.」

And I kicked off the ground. Kicked off the air.

And climbed from the ground into the sky.
