Nera's skills instantly oozed out from the deepest recesses of the cave.
His moth wings were the trigger to the poison world, and he seemed overly confident in his skill.
Otherwise, Nera wouldn't have been so sneaky.
For him, should he die somewhere else than his poison world, Nera would regret this even as a ghost.
His Poison World was like a blue world where vision was severely limited due to its density.
The farthest person away from Nera, Lord Makro, barely could see his enemy.
The clouds of blue poison were the problem, but everyone in the poison world was aware of something more severe...
[You have entered Nera's Prototype Poison World.]
[Your mana is poisoned.]
[Your mana rapidly gets eaten by Nera's Mana Poison!]
[Natural Poison - Your HP falls by 100 each second.]
It depended on the individual, but many players and residents would've already fallen into despair.
The mana was an essential part of their lives, and most would be rendered useless without it.
Nera could imagine the despair on their faces!
Their mana loss was so high that they could only use at most a few techniques! There was also a little bit of 'Natural Poison' that chunked down their HP, but it was nothing compared to the mana!
But there was more!
His wings were getting faster in this prototype world!
If one added the obstructed vision and his speed, what chances these fools did have?
"You are all fucked- AH!" Nera raised his voice.
Alas for him, he instantly got interrupted!
Something hit his stomach, and his body bent forward. He looked like a pulled bowstring, and that was not easy to bear!
Nera's saliva splattered before him!
"For a dude with 30 more levels, you are fucking weak! Haha!" KongFu roared while standing on Michu's shoulder!
He and Michu used the skill [Brotherhood!]
This skill was unique for them because KongFu was Old Spiritual Will and Michu was his disciple.
This skill connected their minds more than Mortarz would've expected.
[You can rely on KongFu's instincts through your body and soul.]
[Your body will partially remember KongFu's experience.]
[Limit: 5 minutes Cooldown: 24h]
KongFu's high vision and other instincts had helped Michu and his team many times. He could see much more and notice the smallest details while using his years of experience to guide the monke!
Now, Michu possessed all of this for five minutes!
But BrotherHood wasn't just about giving...
Michu also gave something for KongFu!
[Michu's love for bananas has been passed down to you!]
If Michu munched the banana now, KongFu would feel the unique taste through his soul! Although KongFu could touch physical objects, he couldn't eat and do other stuff! That was unlucky, but his return was a big miracle after all.
Nera's eyes snapped, "You can find me? So what? Can you keep up with me?!" He flapped his wings and went up.
In any standard scenario, the poisonous fog would make way for him. Here, Nera's wings drew as many blue clouds as possible so that it would assist him in his escape.
Escape as Nera didn't have to fight at all... Those fools would soon die in his prototype world due to the poison!
'I will gladly add some of my poisonous fangs for you!' Nera whispered inwardly, then maneuvered through the blue clouds.
His triumphant escape didn't last even thirty seconds before another blow assaulted him from below.
"You can step on those clouds! Hah! Chase him! Make his balls suffer!" KongFu roared happily as it was literally everything he could do.
On the contrary, Michu was all silent and serious because of how honed KongFu's instincts were. His focus and ability to withstand the old god's power were commendable, however.
And just as KongFu said, Michu could step on those clouds with his own movement skill. He kicked the clouds and chased after Nera without stopping!
Michu's staff always reached Nera, and he never failed to hit him.
Although Michu never could hit a critical strike, it was because Nera had a higher level and his own intelligence.
This moth managed to fend off a few bonks and minimize the damage, but one thing had been eating his mind for a while.
'Why hadn't he fallen yet? What is this absurd amount of stamina and mana?!' Nera rattled off inwardly while utterly doing his best.
At some point, Michu spurted out blood and fell from the clouds.
'I knew it... I knew it! My poison world is the best! No monster can survive here!' Nera's lips curled up.
He roamed across his blue world and delighted in the thoughts of his enemies' fall. His resilience was also high, so he regenerated his hp and mana as well! Of course, not to the fullest, but still high enough.
'Ah... If just imagining their fall is so delightful, what will I feel once I see their dead bodies? Climax? Haha!' Nera kept those disgusting thoughts to himself, but he soon found a flaw in this whole scenario. 'That woman...'
While Lord Makro was 'general' and it was just fine for him to order his people around, Yumi should have long since moved to help her boyfriend.
Her race was peculiar, and Nera believed she was his worst opponent!
Why would she stay so silent? Has she died in this poison world already?
'Impossible!' Nera howled inwardly, then checked one of the exits in his cave.
"Ridiculous..." He uttered after seeing Lord Makro's soldiers standing still. Their HP and MANA were full, and the poison was nothing more but a disgusting breeze.
Moreover, they utilized combination skills that brought an impregnable wall.
This exit route was sealed... and so were the other.
"He has finally realized," Yumi's melodious voice rang out from behind.
After Nera turned around, he spotted her next to her boyfriend, whose stats were highly depleted.
Like a wife, she wiped off the sweat on his face and tended him with care.
"If this stupid boyfriend of mine didn't want to fight you without an antidote, you would've been dead already," Yumi smiled while ruffling Michu's hair.
He laughed, "I am sorry! But it was good training! Next time, I will cope better with KongFu's Brotherhood! Hehe!" In a nutshell, it was a great challenge that satiated Michu's drive wholly.
Nera's eyes snapped, "This must be a lie. A deception."
"A lie? Is it because I am a woman that I can not create an antidote?" Yumi smiled.
"Your gender has nothing to do with it." Nera shook his head, still not believing the reality before his eyes.
Satisfied with herself and the fallen enemy, Yumi gave some time for Nera. She eyed him, mumbling out nonsense, then she struck him with her research! "You failed to realize one simple detail. Both you and your fellow junior."
"What?" Nera asked as he wanted to know everything about poison!
"Both Mana and Blood Poison are the same," Yumi's words struck Nera heavily.
He felt like the whole world collapsed on him, but the sudden enlightenment appeased it!
However, the one who helped him with this enlightenment was the enemy.
This enemy didn't wait, and her tail stretched itself to slash him down!
"I will be taking everything from you," Yumi declared! "Your Poison World, Your Mana Poison... and even you!"
"Hateful woman... I will overcome this trial... and bring out my race from the recesses of this world!" Nera announced, and the second round began!
