Chapter 74 Damian!

Saraya's face showed surprise and despair; however, despite Saraya's distressed expression, Hikaru did not change his mind. He didn't understand how Saraya could create a dish that could instantly knock out a UR+ monster with a total of nearly 3,000,000 stats. Even Hikaru felt that Tsuraguki was in great pain.

Hikaru looked at Saraya's plate of food and felt that there was nothing strange about the food; the food even had a fragrance that stimulated his appetite. He thought that maybe the poison came from Saraya's combination of cooking ingredients.

Hikaru once read that there were many types of cooking ingredients that were not poisonous, but when they were combined, they became a powerful toxin that could threaten the life of anyone who ate it.

Hikaru thought to himself, "Could it be that Saraya accidentally combined the cooking ingredients to create this poison?"

[That's right, Master. The cooking materials that Saraya used weren't inherently problematic, but when they were combined, they produced a toxin that makes the mana in a person's body unable to circulate. Besides, it also causes a person to have certain symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, trembling, stomach aches, etc., and anyone who eats the food can't use their mana to push the poison out of their body or use any healing skills, so they will suffer until the poison disappears from their body.]

Hikaru listened to Rika's explanation, and took a deep breath, he felt a chill in his bones. He felt lucky that he didn't eat the plate of food that Saraya was holding; otherwise, as he was thinking of the consequences, he immediately shivered. Hikaru thought to himself that from now on he would never eat any food cooked by Saraya.

He asked Rika, "So Saraya didn't do it on purpose?"

[That's right, Master. However… I also don't understand why Saraya is capable of doing this because in order for the ingredients she just cooked to produce toxins, the amount has to be precise. Simply put, the odds of Saraya creating a toxin from the cooking ingredients are lower than a person's odds of winning a jackpot.]

Hikaru let out a sigh of relief. If the rate of this kind of thing happening was low, then Saraya probably did it unintentionally. However, with such low odds still happening, Hikaru didn't know if Saraya could be considered unlucky or lucky.

He shook his head; he didn't want to think about it anymore. The most important thing right now was to treat the poisoned people. Right now, the only people who weren't poisoned were him and Saraya. Sherwin and Petran had left the territory to find more resources, and Vuni was also not here.

Hikaru sighed and asked, "Rika, what should I do now?"

[Master, you don't need to worry. Although they are poisoned, your talent, The King, has an effect that will help them speed up their recovery. That's why, after they'll probably wake up after a day and be normal, it will be as if nothing happened.]

Hikaru nodded and teleported back to the cave below, then he continued hibernating as he waited for everyone to wake up. Besides, he ordered Saraya to guard the territory for the time being, and if there was anything unusual, she should contact him.

…

In another territory in Misty World. This territory did not belong to any player; it belonged to the people of this world.

'Follow current novels on No v elBin.',

This territory covered an area of more than 100,000 square meters, and surrounding the territory was an extremely sturdy wall that was over 10 meters high. In the middle of the territory was a huge white castle that exuded a royal aura.

In the citadel, in the main hall, the king and queen sat high up on their thrones as they looked down at the people below. If Darnag were here, he would definitely recognize these people because this was where he used to live.

Below the throne, the king and queen were flanked by aristocrats, who were dressed in bizarre aristocratic costumes that were similar to those of medieval Europe.

In the middle of the hall, a man who was about 50 years old and whose hair was already turning silver kneeled on the ground with his thin body. He turned to the King and Queen and said with great reverence, "My king, what you need me to do is done."

After he finished speaking, he took out a glass ball the size of a basketball; inside was a statue that had been meticulously carved into the shape of a woman. Although it was only a stone statue, it could be seen how extremely beautiful she was. She was so beautiful that anyone who saw the statue immediately fell in love with her.

The king and queen sat on the high throne and were covered by a white cloth, so they could not be clearly seen. The king suddenly said, "Well done, Damian."

As soon as the King finished speaking, a knight wearing full body armor that covered his face and stood beside him descended. The knight took the crystal ball from Damian's hand and brought it behind the curtain, where the King and Queen were sitting.

When Damian saw the knight disappearing behind the curtain, his eyes turned cold. Pain, disgust, hatred, and other negative emotions could be seen in his eyes.

About ten minutes later, it seemed that after the King and Queen had finished checking the crystal ball, the King laughed loudly: "Hahaha. Well, this will be a gift for the Queen of the Dark Elves. Prepare it well. Damian, you did a great job; what reward do you want?"

Damian lowered his head; however, his eyes were still filled with hatred, as if he didn't want to be here another second. Damian tried to control himself and said, "My king, I don't want any reward because serving you is the greatest gift God has given me."

"Hahaha… Good! Good! You can go back. Of course, I won't let you down; I'll let the knights deliver a reward to you.

Damian bowed his head to the ground and said: "Thank you, King."

After Damian exited the great hall, the King signaled to the knight standing beside him; the knight nodded and immediately left.

After exiting the hall, Damian gritted his teeth; his face was filled with anger. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, his face was red like fire, and the veins in his face were visible behind his tan.

"Damn it!" Damian cursed silently; he then went outside the castle and hurriedly started returning home.

Although it was daytime, there weren't any people on the way, and everything was eerily quiet. Damian, of course, immediately noticed this strangeness. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down because he knew for sure what was going to happen.

Damian suddenly changed directions; he turned into a dark alley. As soon as Damian entered that alley, the surrounding space suddenly became darker; it was so dark that it looked like the sun had already set. A cold wind blew past him, and it made him shiver.

'',

Suddenly, Damian took out a card from his chest and crushed it. An arrow was suddenly shot out of nowhere, and it was coming at him at a tremendous speed. When that arrow was about to pierce Damian's head, he suddenly disappeared.

In the distance, a dark figure standing on the roof of a house more than 12 meters high saw Damian disappear and frowned. That black shadow's gaze was sharp as a knife; it was the gaze of a bloodthirsty hunter. The person backed away, and a black smoke engulfed him, then he disappeared.

At Damian's lab, three people were sitting in the room but they were all silent as if waiting for something to happen. Those three were two men and one woman. The other two men were normal in appearance, one with brown hair and the other with black hair. The woman had blonde hair, but her face could not be seen clearly because it was covered by a pair of glasses and a black mask.

The brown-haired man was named Mille, the dark-haired man was named Uner, and the blonde girl was Jiken. They were dressed a bit like Damian; they were wearing a gray cape, and a silver diamond badge was on their chest.

Mille, Uner, and Jiken were all students of Damian, and they all knew what Damian would face today, so the atmosphere was very quiet and heavy.

"BAM!"

Suddenly, a loud noise startled them; they immediately looked towards the door and saw Damian, who had just slammed the door and ran in.

"Teacher!" When they saw Damian, they shouted with joy.

However, Damian did not feel happy and immediately went inside the house. He ran into the bookshelf to get all the books and put them in a small cloth bag. That cloth bag was like a bottomless cave, and it was only the size of his palm, and no matter what Damian put in it, it was never full.

Damian did not stop his movements; he said as he was packing the books: "Mille and Uner, immediately put all the research materials in the chest" "Jiken,, put the magic items in the space ba;, hurry u ."

Even though Damian was putting his books in his space bag, he was still paying attention to the situation around him. After 10 seconds, when he did not hear anyone respond, Damian angrily turned his head and shouted, "Why are you silent?"

Before Damian could finish speaking, he was startled to see Uner and Mille lying in a pool of blood. No, to be more precise, the two headless corpses of Uner and Mille were lying in a pool of blood, and Jiken was sitting on a wooden table, holding the heads of Uner and Mille in both of her hands.

Damian was so surprised that his body trembled and the space bag also fell from his hand. He was too stunned to speak; his eyes stared at Jiken as if asking what was going on.

"Surprised?" Jiken said while laughing; her voice was cold and calm, as if this situation were normal.

Damian trembled as he sat on the ground; his face was blank. It was as if he didn't believe what had just happened; he trembled and asked, "Why?" Why?"

When Jiken saw him so scared, she felt uninterested and took off her mask and glasses. Jiken had a beautiful face, but she wore a crazy smile like a perverted murderer.

Jiken laughed and said, "Why?" because he was worthless. "Don't worry, you should be glad that the person who is going to kill you killed Darnag."

"What?!"
