"It's the Soulbleeder-a specialty of Hundred Bane Sect available from the black market."

Frank looked up, his eyes flashing as he wiped the smudge of blood from the corner of his lips.

Kilian's face fell right then-how could Frank have known the name of the poison?!

It was a well-kept secret even in the black market, and hardly anyone knew of it. Even Kilian himself found out about it through Troy!

"Hehe... blargh!"

Frank smirked even as he vomited another mouthful of blood. "Are you surprised why I would know? Well, that's a question you'd have to ask a certain traitor to Hundred Bane Sect whom I had slain. He left behind a copy of the Hundred Bane Anthology, which is why nothing in Hundred Bane Sect's inventory will work against me."

"Really?"

Kilian sneaked a look around himself and smirked at Frank in turn when he sensed Frank's vigor churning chaotically in his body. "You really wouldn't be hurting that badly if it doesn't work on you."

"You're right." Frank nodded. "I've been poisoned and I can't clear it away right now... but it still won't stop me from killing you!"

And with those words, Frank suddenly leapt to his feet and charged straight at Kilian!

Kilian appeared taken aback but soon laughed coldly.

"I have no idea what you're playing at, but do you really think you can beat me while poisoned?!"

With a restrained bellow, he projected his pure vigor, casting it into the shape of a body armor with a golden-red sheen.

The crowd around him was left gaping in shock-Troy actually had such a powerful champion under his command?!

"Haha! This is a secret technique of Volsung Sect-the Golden Dragon Carapace! With this, I won't fear even peak Ascendant ranks!"

Kilian sneered as he watched Frank charged at him, clearly overestimating himself.

Given Frank's condition, the recoil alone would pulverize his body and kill him instantly.

Troy's eyes had lit up when he saw the majestic armor covering Kilian too.

Even he had to admit that Kilian was strong, despite being loathsome and despicable.

He chose to fight Frank only after he was poisoned-not because he did not stand a chance, but because he was that prudent.

He would take the stage, but only at the very last juncture.

"Hmph. At this rate, that loser would definitely be dead!"

"Yeah! Troy's champion is going to butcher him now!"

"Justice for the people!"

The crowd roared with approval and applauded as Frank's very mundane punch struck the golden-red carapace armor around Kilian.

And that was when the unexpected happened.

Boom!

With a thundering crash, Kilian-who had been smirking throughout and clearly protected by his carapace armor-was screaming as he was set flying. "What?!"

Troy was rubbing his eyes in disbelief, while his hired provocateurs turned pale as well.

What was going on here?!

They kept insisting Frank was a cheater without actual ability and always relying on underhanded tricks, but that punch had just shattered Kilian's strongest armor! How was that possible?!

That was Kilian Lionheart, an elder of Volsung Sect!

He had advanced well into Ascendant rank, but Frank sent him flying with a punch?!

Obviously, no one watching could believe it at all.
