Chapter 125
125: Do You Understand Type Matchup? (4)
“…Type matchup?”
At my words, Rahel tilted her head in confusion, and I let out a dry chuckle. The moment I did, sensing something ominous, Rahel raised her twin daggers defensively, while Krol shouted that I must be poisoned and told me to stop spouting nonsense.
“You talk too much for someone dying!!!”
As Krol spoke, black flames erupted and flew toward me. I countered with black flames of my own, extinguishing his fire.
Whoooosh———!!!
The black flames collided and consumed each other, dissipating. The moment Krol’s expression shifted to shock, I charged forward.
Rahel wanted to retreat, sensing the lingering unease, but her pride wouldn’t allow it. Instead, she unleashed her twin daggers again, spewing toxic smoke and filling the surrounding area with poison as if to defend herself. But I charged forward without hesitation.
Watching me rush toward her like a moth to flame, Rahel raised her twin daggers to block my attack and attempted a counterattack. That’s when she felt it.
The violet toxic smoke spreading around her had somehow grown denser, and she suddenly recalled how I had just used black flames—Krol’s power—to neutralize black flames. Her breath caught. But it was already too late. The violet poison had already infiltrated her body through her lungs, and her complexion was turning deathly pale.
Realizing she was poisoned, Rahel quickly retreated away from me rather than charging forward, escaping the toxic smoke.
Unable to prepare in advance, she couldn’t trigger a poison explosion. As she tried desperately to find an antidote, I pierced through the toxic smoke and swung my blade at her.
Clang———!
The sharp metallic ring echoed as Rahel’s delicate brow furrowed. Poisoned and barely able to move, each motion spread the toxin further through her body. She bit her lip.
Given time, she could detoxify herself, but I kept pressing forward relentlessly. Rahel stared at me, utterly bewildered.
I could understand why I was using my skill, Virulent Toxin. But why was only she poisoned while I remained unaffected?
‘He was definitely exposed to my toxic smoke….’
He should have been poisoned just as much as she was, yet only she was succumbing while my expression remained bright. The moment she tried to detoxify, toxic smoke erupted from my body, and she quickly retreated.
Meanwhile, Krol—what was he doing? The toxic smoke I had spread earlier engulfed him rapidly, and I could see him convulsing on the ground like an insect, poisoned and writhing.
‘Damn it.’
With that thought, Rahel tried to escape this place immediately, but unlike her, struggling to move while poisoned, my speed was undiminished—the same gap that had existed between us before.
She barely managed to block my swinging blade.
Boom——!!
“Ugh.”
The more she moved, the more the poison spread, and she coughed up black blood. Remembering my earlier words about type matchup, she threw poison at me again in disbelief, but I made no move to dodge, taking it head-on.
With a splatter, the poison touched my body, and my flesh began to necrosis in deep violet. Yet as if nothing had happened, I regenerated, and the necrotic body stained in deep violet returned to its original state.
And now she understood what I had meant by type matchup.
Her poison didn’t work while mine did. With her complexion turning deathly pale, Rahel looked at me and spoke.
“P-please spare me. I’ll do anything.”
She desperately pleaded as I approached, but I tilted my head in confusion at her words.
“Why would I…?”
“P-points! Yes, I’ll give you all my points, and there’s a Hidden Dungeon nearby. I….”
“Wouldn’t I get everything by killing you?”
“The information—you can’t know it, can you? If I die, no one will know about that Dungeon.”
Rahel spoke desperately, hoping her words had reached me, but I stared down at her with an expressionless face.
Then I snapped my fingers again, creating new toxic smoke. As emerald-green poison erupted—different from before—Rahel, caught mid-conversation and defenseless, inhaled the green toxic smoke. Veins bulged in her neck as she clutched her throat in agony.
Realizing this poison was far more potent and fatal to her than before, Rahel’s eyes widened as she stared at me. I looked down at her, now collapsed by the poison, and spoke.
“I don’t negotiate with Villains.”
Meeting those cold eyes, Rahel writhed in pain as she looked at me.
“What… did I… do wrong…!”
Screaming thus, Rahel unleashed poison one final time to attack Dohyun, but watching that toxin dissolve in an instant, she convulsed in despair and agony as her breath was stolen by the very poison she had always wielded and trusted.
The moment the entire party massacring humans in Safe Zone Pureair was annihilated, Dohyun gazed down at Rahel’s corpse with a somewhat bitter expression.
[You have eliminated a Villain and acquired the Points they possessed.]
[Points are distributed according to Party Members’ contribution.]
[You acquire a total of 532,980P.]
It wasn’t that I pitied Rahel—rather, the bitter smile crossed my face because I realized that had I ascended faster, so many wouldn’t have had to sacrifice themselves, and that other Hunters were far more selfish than I’d imagined.
Their own lives came first, so they couldn’t be blamed for not stepping forward, but knowing victims existed, couldn’t they have prevented at least some of this? That thought was inevitable.
As I stood there alone, lost in bitterness, a message materialized before my eyes.
The first message I’d seen since my awakening.
[You have repeatedly neutralized poison inflicted by the skill 「Virulent Toxin [A]」.]
[Analyzing such actions, you 『Analyze』 and create a new skill.]
[You acquire the skill 「Toxin Immunity [S]」.]
“Huh?”
Watching a skill materialize from analyzing my actions, I blinked in disbelief. Toxin Immunity? Wasn’t that always portrayed as a broken ability in martial arts novels? I swallowed hard at the sight.
One might think it didn’t matter since I could already neutralize poison, but upon closer inspection, that wasn’t quite right.
My current method was remarkably fast, making it appear as though no poison could touch me, but in reality, the moment I was poisoned, I would instantly analyze it, understand the toxin’s composition, create the opposite poison using my Virulent Toxin skill, and inject it into my body—the poison was still affecting me.
I was neutralizing it by being poisoned first, then using another poison to counteract it, which placed considerable strain on my body that only a Guardian’s physique could endure. But with Toxin Immunity, I wouldn’t need to go through such tedious steps anymore.
‘Insane.’
Never imagining I’d obtain such a broken skill this way, I swallowed and chuckled. Truly, death gives generously on its way out—I nodded at the corpse of Rahel before me.
Since I’d already received rewards through Analysis, now it was time to farm.
Just as I was about to search through the belongings of the dead Rahel, who lay there spewing poison, a familiar presence came flying toward me. I paid it little mind and continued searching through Rahel’s belongings. And then.
“…Dohyun oppa?”
“Yeah, you’re here?”
“…What is this?”
“Huh?”
At Hanalin’s words, I turned around. In that moment, I felt her staring intently at me as I searched through the belongings of the dead Rahel, and I blinked.
Then.
“Securing spoils?”
For a moment, I thought there might be a misunderstanding and awkwardly tried to pull my hand back, but fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
“Oh, did you win by yourself, oppa?”
Fortunately, she hadn’t misunderstood what I was doing with the dead woman’s body. I sighed in relief, discovered a magic pouch within Rahel’s belongings, and pulled it out with a grin.
And I nodded at Hanalin’s astonished question and answered.
“Turns out matchups matter more than I thought—I won easier than expected.”
Saying so, I headed toward the fallen Krol’s corpse and was able to obtain a magic pouch from him as well.
Unlike me, who grinned at this windfall, Hanalin swallowed hard and looked around the area.
Seeing the scene devastated by poison and the two bodies grotesquely killed by toxins, she nodded, thinking, ‘Of course it’s Dohyun.’
“I came quickly thinking you might be in trouble, oppa, but as expected, it’s you.”
“Well, I got lucky.”
Speaking thus, we spotted Jiyuchan rushing toward us from afar, kicking up dust clouds with a rapid pattering sound.
I wondered why they were rushing over so quickly, but as they drew closer and I saw Dohyun and Hanalin sitting calmly, Jiyuchan came to a halt with a bewildered expression, tilting his head in confusion.
“…?”
Jiyuchan looked at Hanalin as if asking whether the two of them had captured their opponents, signaling with his eyes. Hanalin shook her head and answered that they hadn’t.
Which meant.
“Did you capture both of them?”
“Yeah, I got lucky.”
“…?”
Jiyuchan thought that wasn’t something that could happen just from luck, but he stood there dazed for a moment before letting out a relieved sigh. The tension drained from him as he sank to the ground.
“Phew.”
He’d rushed over quickly out of concern for Dohyun, so he looked quite exhausted. Moreover, when the wound on his left shoulder—which he’d staunched earlier—reopened and blood gushed out, Dohyun startled and immediately used Muscle Healing on him.
Hanalin had thought Jiyuchan would have handled his opponent without issue since she had no wounds, but she couldn’t help being surprised by how deep the injury actually was.
As Dohyun healed him, Jiyuchan’s expression eased somewhat before he looked at Hanalin.
Then.
“Heh.”
Seeing Hanalin laughing with triumphant satisfaction, Jiyuchan looked at Dohyun with a somewhat ominous expression and asked.
“You healed Hanalin too, right?”
“Narin? No, she was perfectly fine?”
“Heh.”
With Dohyun’s words added to the mix, Hanalin laughed triumphantly once more, and Jiyuchan’s complexion darkened considerably.
It wasn’t strange that Hanalin had arrived here faster using magic, but the revelation that she’d defeated her opponent without a single wound left him in despair. Jiyuchan squeezed his eyes shut and spoke to Hanalin.
“Next time… I’ll win.”
“Of course~. Do your best.”
Watching Hanalin respond that way and Jiyuchan trembling with frustration, I found it absurd.
It was fortunate they’d made it through the fight unscathed, yet seeing these two competing for second place even now, I let out a quiet laugh and spoke.
“Anyway, let’s see what these guys have and how much of it.”
It was time to check the rewards.
