"HOHOHO, you're quite the serious fucker, huh, kid?" Jack sneered, fixing a repugnant gaze upon Anon.
In an instant, he vanished from his position, only to reappear 5000 meters ahead of Anon.
"It seems I'll have to deal with you personally, if you crossed this forest successfully, but I don't think you will be able to make it, cutie." Jack declared, retrieving a formidable sword from his inventory.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Anon is charging toward the heart of the forest. Will he effortlessly breach its core?" Seraphina announced.
"Seraphina, this kid is insane! I doubt anything within that forest can stand in his way," Landon exclaimed, his face filled with excitement.
"Well, we'll find out once he crosses the final threshold, won't we?" Seraphina replied.
"You're absolutely right," Landon agreed.
As Anon sprinted forward, he sensed numerous monsters lurking in the shadows, but none dared to confront him. They could feel Anon's bloodlust emanating from his fiery core, causing them to cower.
"Come, you motherfuckers! Why are you all so afraid? You may be monsters, but I am a demon, fuckers!" Anon taunted, releasing even more of his bloodlust into the air.
"Wait, Seraphina, look! The monsters are terrified of Anon. Can you believe it?" Landon exclaimed, astonishment etched across his face.
"Well, he is a monster himself, but where is Ren? Anon has conquered three-quarters of the kingdom in just six minutes, and Ren is nowhere in sight," Seraphina observed.
"Damn, he's way ahead of me," Ren muttered, his face flushed and covered in sweat, yet he maintained a steady pace.
The two doping agents he had ingested were of opposing elements, resulting in a contradictory reaction after initially providing Ren with a burst of energy.
"I have to do it," Ren resolved, extracting another doping shot from his pocket.
Inside the small bottle, a bright green liquid shimmered.
As everyone's eyes fell upon it, a grave expression spread across the faces of the nobles.
It was triple doping.
Triple doping was an exceedingly perilous practice involving the administration of three distinct doping agents to enhance energy levels within the human body. This process aimed to provide an intense initial boost but posed significant dangers, including a heightened risk of fatality for the user.
Compared to double doping, which already carried a 20% chance of death, triple doping exponentially increased the risk, resulting in a 40% mortality rate. The combination of three different doping agents introduced greater complexity and chemical interactions, making it even more unpredictable and hazardous.
Although triple doping initially granted substantial energy, its long-term effects were devastating. Over time, the three agents could react negatively with each other, generating toxic substances within the user's body. This toxicity gradually poisoned the system, leading to a slow and potentially fatal deterioration if not promptly addressed.
It was crucial to emphasize that triple doping was an extremely dangerous practice strongly discouraged due to the significantly increased risks involved. The potential benefits of heightened energy were outweighed by the life-threatening consequences, making it essential for individuals to seek safer and healthier alternatives to enhance their physical performance.
But in this moment, Ren had only one thing on his mind...
"I am here to prove my worth as the only son of the Denver House and its future leader. I refuse to lose any more than I already have."
"Seraphina, would you look at that? The sole heir and future head of the Denver House is about to take another doping agent. It would be utter chaos if he perishes here. The Denver House will not remain silent if their only son dies in this trial," Landon stated.
Hearing this, Seti's body turned cold, and she swiftly summoned another communication crystal from her pocket.
"Ren, don't do this. You're the only son of your family. Mrs. Denver will kill all of us if anything happens to you," Seti shouted through the crystal ball.
Ren's eyes resembled those of someone who had consumed copious amounts of alcohol, unable to focus on anything ahead.
Ren hurled the crystal ball to the ground and continued running like a lifeless zombie.
"Damn it..." Seti cursed.
"What type of doping agents did you give him, ma'am?" a noble student from the House of Alchemists stepped forward and inquired.
"What?" Seti asked, perplexed.
"What were the elements of the doping agent you provided him? I'm familiar with the holy dope agent, but the red one is unknown to me. What was it composed of?"
"I-I can't tell you. That's confidential," Seti stammered, her voice trembling with fear. The tension overwhelmed her, causing her to lose her composure and consider various desperate ideas.
"Should I commit suicide? If I don't, the Great Mother of the Denver House will kill me anyway. Yes, I—"
"Ma'am, if you just disclose the element of the red doping agent, I can create an antidote for it and save all of us from the wrath of denever house." the girl offered.
"What? Really?" Seti exclaimed, surprise washing over her face.
"Yes, but you have to tell me."
"Come with me, quickly," Seti said, leading the girl to an empty room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Anon has now ventured into the territory of the Deadly Kongs, the forest's most treacherous and menacing creatures. If he manages to evade them, no one will be able to stop him. This will be the last hurdle of this kingdom."
Deadly Kong is a fearsome and mythical creature that combines the characteristics of three different animals: the giant scorpions from the treacherous Dead Desert, the one-horned Oxers, and the killer giant beetles. This chimera-like creature possesses a unique set of features, making it an incredibly formidable and dangerous opponent.
One of Deadly Kong's most distinctive and lethal attributes is its venomous tail. Equipped with a potent toxin, a single strike from its tail can inflict severe harm and even lead to death. The venom proves highly effective against prey and poses a significant threat to any potential adversaries.
Another remarkable feature of Deadly Kong is its massive horn, jutting from its head. This horn serves as both a formidable weapon and a symbol of its power. With a robust body surpassing the strength of mythical mithril, Deadly Kong can endure tremendous physical force and withstand severe punishment.
Due to its rarity and uniqueness, Deadly Kong's body parts fetch exorbitant prices on black markets and among collectors. Its venomous tail, horn, and other valuable organs hold immense value. Notably, Deadly Kong exhibits a fascinating behavior of roaming in large groups, rarely venturing alone, preferring the safety and collective strength of its kind.
Will Anon manage to overcome them?
