Chapter 437 Killing Dark Mask (I)
The Scarlet King had altered the Endless Poison Raven's molecular composition to explode upon contact with oxygen, but that was just to spread its main genetic modification more effectively. The Grand King Beast's poison was transformed into a potent genetic virulent toxin that could infect someone just by touching their flesh.
Immediately, Dark Mask used his Essence Wave to push back the poison and the Law of Ice to freeze the parts of his body that had been affected, stopping the spread while also freezing the air around him.
As expected from an Apotheosis Realm Master, he could handle the toxin incredibly fast, but the same could not be said for the rest of the Atroxs in the hall. The six jurors and Silent Shadows were all vomiting on the ground and could barely move as the poison had already invaded their bodies, overcoming their immune systems.
"Old River!"
Dark Mask shouted with rage as he focused once again on the old man and saw him flashing toward the ceiling of lava.
The fact that the old man was not affected by the poison did not surprise Dark Mask since it was obvious this one would have taken an antitoxin before. Still, he was not afraid the Atrox could escape.
"Hmph! Your pathetic power is not enough to pierce the magma."
Just as Dark Mask shouted those words, a massive drill made from three different types of giant branches pierced through the ceiling of magma, caught Old River, and then pulled back.
For a moment, Dark Mask was left speechless, unable to believe what he saw. The old man had come and taken out the body of a Grand King Beast that exploded, poisoning everybody in the hall. Then, a drill of giant branches pierced the magma and helped him escape. Even if he told someone about this, who would believe him?

Dark Mask's first instinct was to pierce through the ceiling of magma and go after Old River, killing the man and everyone else. However, before his emotions could get the better of him, blue light flooded his eyes, and he was able to calm down.
'I have no idea how many people are on the other side or what kind of trap they had waiting for me.'
"BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!"
The blast of energy fell from the sky, unleashing an explosion that decimated the entire swamp and flooded everything for several kilometers with dark red flames.
The Scarlet King watched the destruction from the sky with a cold gaze. He had been charging this attack for nearly ten minutes while waiting for Dark Mask to appear.
When the Scarlet King scanned the Dark Hall, he discovered the hidden teleportation formation. Using the [Pseudo Multidimensional Scan Force Field], he tracked down the other end of the teleportation formation.
Based on what the Scarlet King had learned about the man, he knew Dark Mask was paranoid and wouldn't engage in a fight without knowing the enemy's power.
Of course, there was a chance that Dark Mask would have chosen to blindly follow Old River, which would have meant death for him along with Janiro, Specter, and Ghoul, but the Scarlet King was willing to take that bet.
A sharp red light appeared in the eyes of the Scarlet King as he saw a winged figure covered in ice flashing in the opposite direction from his location.
'Get ready. Everything is going according to plan.'
After sending that message, the Scarlet King tightened his grip on Slaughter and flashed into the waves of destruction and flames left by his attack.
Dark Mask's golden armor and ice had fused, covering his entire body with mighty wings and a sharp and thick tail. While he could move extremely fast, the attack galvanized the left side of his body. These wounds only made it harder to suppress the toxins running through his body, and he knew he needed to flee.
'Dammit! Who is that person?'
Dark Mask cursed as he focused on the figure with the red mask chasing after him. This focus left him vulnerable, allowing two figures covered in shadow to rise from the ground, each delivering a fierce punch infused with a massive amount of Astral Wave and darkness.
