Chapter 214 Threatening: Choose Your Words Wisely
The snake then swiftly released its poison. Shin wouldn't have realized that the poison was released if not for the system.
*Ding*
[ Heavy Toxic Poison has been released to the air ]
[ Due to the passive skill Poison resistance, the poison doesn't affect you ]
Shin was about to run from the place if he wasn't resistant. But the moment the system mentioned that, he suddenly got a boost of confidence.
"Is that all…?", Shin smirked.
'Huh…?'
'My poison…'
'Did it fail to work on him?', the serpent was shocked to see Shin completely fine.
He was expecting Shin to faint anytime soon, but in contrast to that, Shin was smiling as if he was completely fine.
"Do you really think that poison of this level can affect me?", Shin smirked yet again which infuriated the snake.
'Hiss…'
"You forced me."
Right after that, the snake opened its mouth widely and shot another wave of poison gas which spread even more rapidly covering the entire area in an instant.
'What the-'
The poison was different from earlier, in fact, Shin could see a colored gas coming out of the snake's mouth.
Earlier, it was colorless but now, it was orange colored.
*Ding*
[ You have resisted the poison ]
However, even this was not enough to cause any damage to Shin.
"Sigh, poor you."
"Did you really think that your poisons were going to do something to me?"
"Haha.", Shin laughed.
Well, he was trying to taunt the snake. It was probably wanted to test the upper limit of his resistance.
Also, for some reason, he wanted to fight someone of his own level, and only after provoking him would he stop using the poisons and start fighting for real.
But the snake didn't give up. He kept on releasing different poison gas.
'What the heck…?'
'Just how many types of poison does he have?', Shin asked himself but the system ended up answering.
*Ding*
[ It is estimated that the snakes of 'Pentaserpen' species have 5 types of poisons ]
[ The foe belongs to the said race ]
'I see.'
'So what kind of poisons can then use?', he asked.
*Ding*
[ The five poisons are: Paralytic Poison, Frost Poison, Heat Poison, Heart Poison, and Death Poison ]
The moment the types of poisons were stated, Shin was baffled.
He knew that the serpent released a ton of poison into the air but he never knew that they would be these types of poisons.
'And what the heck is heart and death poisons?', he asked.
[ Heart poison -> A type of poison that targets only the heart. It doesn't do any damage to any other part of the body so usually the effects won't be known unless it reaches the heart ]
[ Death poison -> A mixture of previous poisons. When even a single drop of it enters a host, first it causes paralysis by affecting the nervous system, then it starts to freeze the internal organs and heats proteins and cells ultimately damaging them and causing them to burst. Then finally it targets the heart specifically causing it to stop and leading to the death of the host ]
'Wait, then do you think that my skill can help me to resist such a poison?'
*Ding*
[ Your skills may prolong your life but cannot prevent death ]
After reading all this, Shin was sure of one thing, if he were to have such a poison, then he would have no reason to fear anyone and could just kill them swiftly.
'So, he hasn't used that poison.'
[ Affirmative ]
'I see, if he were to use that poison, then his life will also be in danger since he too inhales and if he is a Poison breathing type of snake, then yes, he would die too.'
Shin was sure about this. There were five types of poison-related beasts in this world. Shin had inquired about this earlier from the system and the elf elders before entering the inner forests.
1] Beasts that spit poison and shoot them in the form of liquid.
2] Beasts that leave poison breaths and use the poisons generated in their poison glands in the form of gas.
3] Beasts that inject the poison directly into their foe by biting.
4] Beasts that cover themselves in the poison to prevent themselves from being eaten or even touched.
5] Beasts that store poison in their body after eating poisonous plants and generating on their own. The toxins become so powerful that even after cooking or burning them, the poison retains its activity.
'Ha, so he comes in the second category?', Shin smirked.
"So, even you fear to use death poison, don't you?", Shin asked.
*gulp*
'How did he know?', the serpent panicked because of what Shin asked.
He started looking here and there trying to find some lie or some random thing to say when Shin said, "Look here, I am not trying to harm you."
"Instead, I was just passing by and you were the one who threatened me."
The serpent stared at him as he said that.
'For some reason, he is resistant to all of my poisons.'
'I know that I am in my weakened state and cannot unleash the full potential of my poison, but still, being able to stand without any changes in the body after healing that much poison, he has definitely eaten some weird stuff.'
'In any case, I can't use death poison because that would be suicide, all I can do is frighten him and let him go.'
"Alright…", he squeaked a bit.
'Huh…?'
"Alright!", his voice became deep all of a sudden.
"I will let you go! But don't you dare enter my territory again.", he said arrogantly.
Shin glared at him because of his voice and words.
"If I were you, I would choose my words wisely.", Shin said while unleashing his aura after deactivating the skill Aura control.
'Zoom'
'A…'
'A dragon!?'
The poison master saw a dragon shape in the aura that was released. Chills ran down his spine the moment this happened because the weak wolf that he had been looking at was a ferocious beast waiting for his chance to grab and eat the serpent.
