Chapter 1990


    "That''s okay! Don''t worry, Leon, I''m not sending you out alone! I''ll also assign a tinum Dragon


    Guard, who is also an Almighty Warrior, and a few other Golden Dragon Guards to go with you! With so


    many people, as well as the representatives from the Western region branch, I''m sure that killing


    Poisonwielder will be as easy as ABC!" Alfred replied, chuckling.


    "Oh, okay!" Leon finally understood. "Well, since that''s your n, why aren''t you going to send out two


    tinum Dragon Guards instead? Why do you insist on letting me go?" he asked quizzically.


    Since Poisonwielder was at the Initial Almighty State, it would make more sense to send out two


    tinum Dragon Guards that were more powerful than him. With the help of the Western region branch


    representatives, killing Poisonwielder would be significantly easier!


    However, Alfred was choosing to go the riskier route and sent Leon out instead!


    Leon could not help wondering why Alfred chose to do so when there was a better option!


    "Well, even though Poisonwielder is an Almighty Warrior, he''s also a master of poisons and vtile


    gases! He has something called the Reaper''s Breath, which was a colorless, odorless gas that is


    capable of rendering its victims utterly powerless upon inhtion," Alfred exined.


    "I heard that your medical expertise is unsurpassable, and plenty of people even know you as a master


    alchemist. Considering that your knowledge of poisons might be useful, I decided you''d be the best


    candidate to carry out this mission," Alfred added.


    People all over the Southern region already came to know of Leon''s medical expertise ever since Joel''s


    attempt to sabotage Elegante Group was foiled.

    Although the Dragon Corps rarely got involved in personal feuds, they always kept up to date on the


    latest news and were thus familiar with recent events.


    Besides, Leon was a high-ranking tinum Dragon Guard, so of course the Dragon Corps would keep


    an even closer eye on him!


    Therefore, Alfred long since knew of Leon''s outstanding medical knowledge, and this was why he


    decided Leon was the best man for this job!


    "I see!" Leon finally understood Alfred''s intention.


    He was familiar with the Reaper''s Breath—it was a specialized poison brewed from the leaves of five


    different poisonous nts, but was a little different from the Deadly Veratrum poison; the Deadly


    Veratrum was highly fatal, but the Reaper''s Breath was a sedative poison—somewhat simr to the


    bedonna nt—that could render its victims weak and powerless within seconds of inhtion.


    The only difference between the Reaper''s Breath and the bedonna nt was that thetter required


    ingestion for its poison to take effect, whereas the former existed in the form of vtile gas, which


    made it even more dangerous.


    Anyone who caught so much as a whiff of the Reaper''s Breath would suffer significant muscle


    weakness and even lose their powers, which rendered them absolutely defenseless!


    "Although you haven''t attained the Almighty State yet, Leon, I''m sure that with your knowledge, you''ll


    be able to find a way to outsmart Poisonwielder and find an antidote to the Reaper''s Breath! There''s no


    one else more suited for this job!" Alfred dered solemnly.
