Chapter 1922
Chapter 1922
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 he not covered them with his arm.
The warrior cut off his rotting skin as soon as he got out of the house. Then, he made his escape as he
refused to stay around for even a moment longer.
"I'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 he has, but they are probably going to run amok. That's bad news for
everyone. I have to put this place under lockdown and deal with his bugs immediately. He 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? Tryna 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. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
"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."
However, he received no answer from Matthew. Matthew cut the dog's rotten snout off and put some
salve on it. Then, he tossed the dog aside. Grimly, he 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." Coոtent of Drаmаոovels.cоm
The warning scared everyone off, and all of them retreated further back.
