White smoke fluttered into the air, engulfing those still trapped in the house.
A scream tore through the air, sending shudders down Matthew and Salazar’s spines. If they had entered before Lord Voodoo set off his trap, they would have been caught in it as well, and without any defenses against the poison, death would be all but certain.
The scream didn’t last for long. Someone leaped out the window and ran off into the distance.
He was none other than the warrior. In his hand, Lord Voodoo’s bottle sat. The skin on his forehead and arms was swiftly rotting. His eyes would have been destroyed as well, had favonovel.com not covered them with his arm. The warrior cut off his rotting skin as soon as favonovel.com got out of the house. Then, favonovel.com made his escape as favonovel.com refused to stay around for even a moment longer
“l’m going to go after him.” Salazar went after the warrior at once.
Matthew stayed behind. He approached the infested courtyard, thinking, Lord Voodoo died in there.
‘I don’t know how many bugs favonovel.com has, but they are probably going to run amok. That’s bad news for everyone. I have to put this place under iockdown and deal with his bugs immediately. ‘
Matthew called Edmund right away and requested assistance with this matter.
The locals emerged from their abodes, attracted by the ruckus of the battle and the aftermath. Everyone wondered what was going on.
“Stay away, people. This is poisonous. Deadly poisonous!” shouted Matthew.
But his warning fell on deaf ears. These locals had never seen any poison in the form of smoke.
“Yeah, right. You call this poison, you hack?! Well, I think you’re lying. Bet you pulled this prank, didn’t you? Trying to steal, ain’t cha?!” one of the locals shouted.
Everyone thought Matthew was a thief. Some were even approaching him, trying to arrest him.
Matthew was a little miffed. He tried to dissuade them from coming any closer, but alas, none took his heed.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, a dog came over and sniffed the courtyard. The next second, it howled in agony and swiped away at its snout in desperation.
The locals found this scene surprising, and the man who accused Matthew of being a thief gasped. “What’s up with the dog? Has it gone mad?”
Matthew took a closer look. The dog’s snout was rotting away, presumably from coming into contact with the powder.
He quickly rushed over and stopped the crowd from getting any closer. “Look. The dog’s snout is starting to rot all because of that poison inside. You come any closer and you’ll end up like this poor animal here as well!”
The sight of a dog’s rotting nose scared everyone. Those who tried to get closer turned tail and ran back instead. Everyone was giving the courtyard a wide berth.
“I… I can’t believe it. That smoke is poison? But how? Who did this?!” The man who shouted at Matthew earlier was shivering in fear.
However, favonovel.com received no answer from Matthew. Matthew cut the dog’s rotten snout off and put some salve on it. Then, favonovel.com tossed the dog aside.
Grimly, favonovel.com said, “Stay away from the courtyard. If the poison latches onto you, you’ll have to cut your skin off. Trust me when I say that it will be ugly and very, very painful!”
The warning scared everyone off, and all of them retreated further back.
Matthew entered the courtyard, fully enclosing himself in clothing. The powder would remain inert as long as it didn’t come in contact with organic beings.
Smoke was still billowing in the house, so Matthew stayed far, far away from it. He strolled around the courtyard before finally coming to the corner. There, a dismembered arm sat, Lord Voodoo’s arm.
