“You’re late!”

Kiri Kiri, who was laying and rolling in the field, cried as soon as she saw me .

I didn’t arrive that late .

It took the same amount of time .

I promised that I would buy Kiri Kiri cake so she was waiting for me .

She was so excited that she left her seat and ran around me . However, I was so tired that I just waved to her and sank down .

I had no energy to open my mouth and say hello to Kirikiri .

I just opened the shop window and silently purchased a fresh cream cake at the top of my favorites list .

I lay down and Kirikiri cheerfully rushed toward the cake .

I took a deep breath so fresh air can enter my lungs .

The refreshing feeling made me feel alive .

My body had been healed while clearing the 39th floor, but my exhausted mind hasn’t recovered yet .

I was fortunate to have this field that refreshed and cleared my mind .

Breathing slowly, I waited for myself to calm down .

After feeling a little better, I relaxed and watched KiriKiri eat the fresh cream cake .

Without a fork, she ate happily using her hands .

Cream scattered all over the place .

I felt much more relaxed over time .

Now I could bear pain with a smile, but the last few rounds were really unbearable .

Since I found out that the Poison Energy skill was much more powerful than I thought on the 35th floor, I had focused on honing it .

Of course, in order to grow the Poison Energy skill, I had to use it on myself .

Like Kiri Kiri had said, the poison is fatal .

After the latent period, the poison started to penetrate my body, and then the tolerance and physical strength that I had painstakingly developed was totally useless . I could do nothing but groan like a patient .

Fortunately, my body adapted the poison quickly .

My quirk is self-harm . I didn’t know whether my body was accustomed to the poison or was good at adapting .

On the 36th floor, it was difficult for the poison to last 10 days, but on the 39th floor, the poison survived until the 23rd day .

I drank a special antidote because I thought I would die on the morning of the 24th day .

However, even though I drank two bottles of potion, the poison wasn’t detoxified, so I rushed to clear the stage .

In the state of knowing that my life was on the line, I found out that if I cleared the stage, then my body would recover, but I fainted at that same moment .

when I regained consciousness, I was already on this field .

I was still dumbfounded and groggy due to this .

I’ve become accustomed to the poison, but the most unbearable part is withstanding the high fever, dizziness and dyspnea that did not go away for even a moment . Compared with these symptoms, the pain or fear of the poison didn’t matter anymore .

Several hours were tolerable, but I withstood it for almost three months . The stress was no joke .

Even though I cleared the stage and laid in the field, it seems that the nausea and dizziness still remained .

I remembered that one night I came home from the beach when I was young, I felt I was still swimming despite being on my bed .

Similar to that, even though the poison had completely died out in my body, I felt like I was still suffering from poison .

It was that hard and it is still hard, but also rewarding .

The stagnant poison resistance had finally evolved into poison immunity .

The level of faint resistance, paralysis resistance and pain tolerance also increased a lot .

A new skill, disease resistance has been born and the level of natural healing and regeneration also increased .

At last, being in line with the growth of resistance, the poison energy skill also raised a lot .

The situation was positive .

“It’s not positive, nothing is positive . ”

Said KiriKiri, who was eating cake silently .

“The level of my skills raised a lot, this is positive . ”

Especially since the level of my resistance skills increased .

This was the first time that my level of resistance skills grew this much since I cleared 1st and 2nd floor .

The levels of poison skills also increased .

This couldn’t be negative .

KiriKiri listened to my word and shook her head .

“Your poison has evolved to attack and penetrate the immune system, which is extremely dangerous . That’s why it’s called poison ‘immunity’ . You must stop using the poison skill from now on . ”

She had warned several times about the dangers of poison energy skill .

And I kept ignoring her warning .

“If you insist, the poison will kill you someday . ”

“I won’t let that happen . Just in case, I will also have elixirs with me . ”

I bought a few bottles of Elixir as the last defense for a really dangerous moment .

Only one thing, I had to consume Elixir sparingly due to the limited quantity .

“You’re supposed to be completely careful . No more than 25 days . This poison is highly toxic that even though you have a strong body with poison immunity, you’ll die in no more than 25 days . There is now there’s no way to detoxify it besides the healing effect the system provides and the elixir . Houjae ought to take this seriously . A small mistake made in a split second could lead to an irreversible accident . ”

“I see, I see . ”

As a response to words that I had heard many times, I nodded hard . However, Kiri Kiri was not satisfied with me and pouted her mouth .  

“I know you want stronger power, but you should keep yourself safe first . Don’t confuse the method with aim . ”

The poison skill is a double-edged sword .

It’s indeed strong, but it’s also dangerous for me .

Because I can poison myself and endanger my life .

However, this kind of weapon is always powerful .

Although I would be careful, totally abandoning it was impossible .

The point was to test how much could I handle poison as a skill .

Or how about finding out another way to use poison rather than raising the level of poison energy skill .

I took an empty glass bottle from my inventory while thinking about this .

My finger hurts .

A bead of blood welled up .

The blood flow into the glass bottle and fused with poison energy skill .

I was careful not to poison myself .

My efforts were not in vain . The poison penetrated the blood that flowed out of my finger .

The red blood turned deep-black as soon as the poison penetrated .

It was only a few drops of blood, but no one could withstand this .

When your enemy was living being, it was far more threatening to throw a glass bottle rather than to use a siege weapon or magic .

It was effective .

The cost performance was also outstanding .

How about selling bottled poison in the auction house?

It would be a great help to other challengers attempting attack stages .

Enemies who could survive after being poisoned by this poison were few .

“No, you can’t do that . ”

KiriKiri firmly objected .

“Why?”

“If this begins to circulate, the grand conference will be convened . People who don’t have poison resistance could be in danger even when they’re in the waiting room . ”

Really? 

Once upon a time, a potion with a strong drug effect was produced and circulated so the grand conference was convened .

I tried to think about the similarities between that potion and my poison .

At that moment, smoke began to rise from the bottom of the glass bottle with a hissing sound .

The poison melted the glass and leaked through the crack .

I didn’t expect that .

“Flame . ”

I put my hand below the glass bottle and used magic .

The flame magic that I was able to master not long was the magic that could use the high temperature fire, like its name expressed .

The poison blood that leaked from the crack of the bottle of glass bottle disappeared as soon as it met the flame .

Maybe the boiling point of poison was low, so it evaporated and disappeared in a flash .

The smoke that produced because of evaporation pierced the tip of my nose .

[……!]

 

KiriKiri screamed out with an incredible voice .

Then a powerful gust of wind blew and pushed the smoke away .

Before the wind blew the smoke of poison away, my nose smelled the smoke for a short period and then became numb .

My face and hands that had touched the smoke also became sore .

It’s effect was so powerful even in this field, how about in the outside field?

It’s not poisoned .

I believe that if I don’t have poison immunity, I would die as soon as my nose smelled the smoke .

It’s interesting .  

Wuxia novels had described about using the fire produced by the internal power to burn the poison out . So I decided to use flame magic .

However, the poison showed a stronger effect when it mixed with flame .

It may lose its effect in the long run, but in the short term, the poisoning may become more effective and stronger .

What if I apply the poison with fire?

The greatest disadvantage of poison is that it can only poison people when it touches their body .

If I could handle the smoke of poison and control the direction of the smoke, then I don’t have to worry about this disadvantage .

I had done some experiments on myself, but I haven’t tried to do some experiments about that .  

It was regretful for not exactly knowing its boiling point and freezing point and the changes of its effect during a chemical reaction . Why I haven’t recognized it so far?

I kept thinking, but the rattling noise of KiriKiri from the side interrupted me .

Starting at me, KiriKiri seemed to be so angry and her lips were curled up five steps away her mouth .

She looked much angrier than that time I rubbed her of the Churros she was eating with no reason .

So I put the thoughts about poison aside and quickly apologized to her .

“KiriKiri, I’m sorry . ”

The apologies reminded me of my mistakes .

She was sad because I did the experiment with the poison immediately after she advised me .

And she would be heartbroken because the smoke diffused on this field, where she likes and cherishes .

I am reflecting on myself .

Seriously .  

“Humph!”

I apologized, but KiriKiri turned her head around .

* * *

Eventually, KiriKiri got over it after I promised not to abuse the poison skill recklessly before I could safely handle it, as she advised .

It was the advice that I had heard many times, and Kirikiri had never emphasized her advice like this before, so I decided to obey it quietly .

In any case, Kirikiri’s advice did not do harm at all .

The most situations that things proceeded not well were because I went against her advice or she omitted to advise .

“But could I handle the poison energy skill well?”

If it’s impossible, it means I can’t use this skill forever .

KiriKiri shook her head and said no .

“If you can use magic to detoxify, it will be possible with a holy incantation . ”

KiriKiri still looked unhappy while answering my question .

It was easy to know her mood . When her face had no expression or her voice was extremely low, she may be in a bad mood .

But mad KiriKiri was awkward when I looked at her face .

It had been a long time since the first time I met KiriKiri after I cleared the first stage .

As a person who knows her personality well, I had a question .

Is she still mad at me?

Or is she pretending to be mad in order to conceal her perspective from me?

I wonder which one was true .

“I’m angry!”

Kirikiri flew into a rage and shouted out, as if she tried to prove her innocence .

I nodded at her .

Well, I know, I know you are angry .

“I said I was angry! Seriously!”

I stared at this woman’s face, and she rolled her eyes around to avoid my sights and finally turned her head aside .

For KiriKiri, who did her best to pretend to be mad, I opened the shop window once again .

I bought a set of macaroons and gave it to her .

“Hey, here’s the apology gift for angry KiriKiri . ”

I seldom buy macaroon because it is not worth its price .

KiriKiri likes it because it looks cute and has beautiful colors .

Here’s the evidence . Although KiriKiri was still turning her head to the side, her eyes had already been fell on the macaroon set and moved around .

He still pouted her lips, but her mouth moved up and down . It seemed she couldn’t help smiling .

Looking at how happy she looked like, she is still KiriKiri-style .

“Is macaroon that tasty?”

When I said so, Kirikiri hurriedly lifted her hand and covered her mouth .

KiriKiri, who was sniggering and covering her mouth, was pop-eyed and made her sight full of anger on purpose .

This was more amusing .

I didn’t hide my emotion and laughed bluntly .

* * *

“Yea, Yea, it’s a stage that you have to challenge yourself . ”

Mumbled KiriKiri, putting two macarons in mouth .

She looked like a hamster more than a rabbit .

Kirikiri says the 40th floor is a stage where people can challenge alone without party members .

It is the first solo stage since the 35th floor .

Usually, these stages are subject to a very annoying restriction, or have missions that require you to prove your ability .

The 12th floor, in which challengers had to survive in the jungle for a month without inventory, or the 35th floor, in which challengers had to start from the first floor again after all skills were reset .

Therefore, when KiriKiri said that the 40th stage was a solo stage, I got a little nervous .

“It’s not like that . Maybe it’ll cost a lot of time, but there is no annoying restriction . ”

So it’ll take a long time if I’m not lucky enough .

No matter how much I thought about it, I still felt uneasy .

“Any tips for me before I enter the stage?”

“No, nothing . ”

Every time Kirikiri assured me that advice was not needed, I can indeed manage to pass the stage, but in most cases the process took a longer time or was extremely annoying .

I was anxious .

“But I am anxious . ”

“Ah, you don’t need any advice . ”

Though I asked several times, Kirikiri only repeated that there was no particular advice about the stage .

Eventually, I gave up asking her more about the stage and bought consumables such as food, drinking water, toilet paper and potion before returning to the waiting room .

It was dawn when I checked the time .

It was better to sleep in the waiting room for a moment and leave in the morning .

Arranging all of these things, I went to bed, opened the inventory and took the holy sword and soul sword out .

The holy sword dislikes staying in the inventory, so I take it out as soon as I enter the waiting room . Otherwise, he’ll get angry .

[Long time no see! Warrior! How’re you doing!]

It has been a long time .

For about five hours?

“I’m fine . Why are you so happy? It seems that you have adapted being in the inventory . ”

[Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Uhooo . ]

The holy sword laughed with a low voice .

His distinctive bass sound made me uncomfortable .

It was quite uncomfortable to hear this kind of voice because the voice came directly into my head without going through my ears .

It seems that he didn’t talk near my ears, but my eardrum .

[Warrior, I made it . I made it . ]

“What?”

[I got the way to talk with Seregia!]
