"A bunch of newbies, don't they know they'll get killed if they talk too much... Pfft!"
Xiao Han watched the commotion with a slight purse on his lips. Suddenly, his expression changed, and the demonic energy within him surged violently. He quickly grabbed a towel and covered his mouth with it.
Afterwards, Xiao Han looked at the pool of blood on the towel.
A second buff message appears below the character status bar, displaying a serpentine emerald icon.
Datura Poison: Loses 5% of health per second. Effective against creatures below Silver rank. Duration... well, if it lasts more than a minute, you're doomed ╮(￣▽￣)╭.
"Ahem, they're finally here!"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Han relaxed, revealing a relieved expression.
In Cossenberg, the forces that wanted to eliminate him finally made their move!
Moreover, this was the fourth time in four years. It was a meticulously planned event held once a year, which showed that the other party was quite punctual. Xiao Han suspected that they were the type who never stayed up late.
However, even in such a desperate situation, with only twenty seconds left to survive, Xiao Han was not panicked. On the contrary, he even wanted to celebrate.
"Huff!"
With a thought, 30 experience points were invested, and the user instantly leveled up.
Instantly, a surge of heat flowed into her limbs and bones, and illusory flames swirled around her body. Her long, black, silky hair danced in the flames, moving like a fire sprite.
In an instant, his aura surged, and his overall attributes experienced a slight surge.
Advancing from Black Iron Tier 3 to Black Iron Tier 4 is a watershed moment.
The energy factors around him were completely devoured. Xiao Han clenched his fist, and a powerful force suddenly erupted. With a wave of his hand, a white wave swept up a layer of illusory flames, radiating a scorching aura.
Moreover, Xiao Han's skin was very fair, and with the contrast of his long, black hair, it resembled soft white jade, making women envious.
Having officially entered the mid-stage of the Black Iron realm, the attribute enhancements are far beyond what could be achieved in the early stages of the Black Iron realm.
As for the negative buffs that appeared, the Mandala Poison was completely removed, but the other original sign buff was retained.
After each level up, Xiao Han has the authority to remove one status buff, which is considered a privilege of leveling up.
It was this seemingly useless special mechanism that allowed Xiao Han to escape danger four times. His seemingly peaceful life was actually hiding deadly dangers that were hard to guard against.
If you know the old dog who attacked you from behind, wait until you accumulate enough power to reach the Gold rank, break the restraints, and then kill all the enemies you encounter.
This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Han is accumulating experience. If the other party poisons him multiple times and he is too poor to level up multiple times, then he can ask Loki to grow flowers and grass on his grave before he dies, as a way of thanking this damned, dog-money world.
"The Holy Light Court? Or the Imperial Military?"
A hint of suspicion appeared in Xiao Han's eyes. He ruled out all the forces he had come into contact with, and a strange confidence arose in his heart.
"I am usually timid and kind to others, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully."
"After all, there's plenty of time. Even a salted fish has a chance to turn into a grilled fish! I, a newbie demon king, will just play it safe for now. When the extraordinary flames shoot towards the sun and the wings of death cover the sky... then I'll show you..."
"Your Majesty, you cannot be humiliated!"
The box appeared in his hand. His blood-red eyes looked at this trump card, and Xiao Han smiled.
The three initial emergency kits were once opened by him with the hands of the god of war.
One skill fruit (【Fire Control】), one parachute (used), and one trial card.
What he was holding was the last emergency kit.
"Bang!"
The stone wall trembled, as if it had been subjected to a terrifying explosive impact, but its quality was good, and the magical patterns spread out, forming a defensive barrier that quickly withstood the attack.
"Something's up! Be on high alert!"
Loki shouted immediately, and a silvery sword flashed as he drew his sword!
In the corridor, flashes of light appeared—sharp swords, drawn from their sheaths.
"boom!"
A thunderous sonic wave erupted in the prison corridor, causing the vigilant knights and squires to tremble and their legs to suddenly buckle. Loki's pupils contracted as he looked toward the necromancer's cell. The sharpness in his eyes caused the white-skeletal mage, Saru, to nearly kneel down.
Suddenly, a beam of white light pierced through the solid wall of obsidian behind Saru.
Before anyone could react, the cracks in the wall widened and became even more menacing, terrifying the mage Saru into clinging to the iron gate: "My God, let me out! This place is too scary!"
"Shut up!"
Loki coldly announced, his magical energy erupting, his armor emitting a dazzling light, like a thousand-watt light bulb, dispelling the darkness and blinding the hideous faces of a large group of fellow inmates.
Under the holy light, the previously uneasy knight squires flushed, their blood boiled, and their fighting power surged.
One of the skills mastered by the Silver Knight is a group buff skill called Courage Aura.
Having witnessed the darkness of this world, Xiao Han prefers to call it the "cannon fodder halo," a crazy, mindless way to feed enemies—a highly efficient skill for sending people to their deaths!
"A high-level piece of equipment that can withstand a single blow from a transcendent gold-tier opponent, a flashy artifact for showing off and picking up girls, I really want to snatch it."
Xiao Han squinted at Loki, who looked like a giant light bulb, and thought to himself.
"boom!"
The wall was torn apart, and the shockwave from the explosion sent a tremendous blast of air flying. The knights and squires who were nearby were blown away by the aftershocks!
Immediately, a fleeting figure vanished like a ghost.
"Who is it!"
Loki gripped his mithril longsword, which was extremely effective against monsters. A layer of magical runes appeared on the blade, and his silver-tier combat power suddenly erupted, creating a magnificent aura.
