Chapter 264: Putting Up A Front

After nearly two months, the system finally spoke again as it relayed the warning about Kahn being poisoned by the Lamia opponent through this green mist.

Since Kahn had limited his rank and stats to that of a beginner rank grandmaster, he quickly felt his senses and strength dulling in a dozen seconds. Even the grip on his sword felt loosened at this point.

[How long?] asked Kahn to the system.

[The host will require only 1 minute till the toxin is nullified and the host becomes immune to this form of poison.

The host is advised to not make too many physical movements during the nullification process.] reported System.

Even with the grandmaster rank poison immunity, a minute was needed for him to become completely immune and unaffected by this poison; indicating that this poison spewed out by the opponent was just below the rare rank poisons.

And from the effects, he could feel that it was more of a paralyzing agent than something which could mortally harm him.

Shadow Walk!

Kahn quickly used the shadow walk skill and his inside the shadow created by this dense mist since the system suggested to not move for the upcoming minute till the poison was detoxified.

Kythra slowly slithered towards Kahn was surrounded by the mist and barely visible to her and the audience. But as soon as his aura completely disappeared, she was put on a guard and wanted to find him.

Being a Lamia, a subspecies of the noble Naga bloodline, she already had plenty of scent and heat-sensing skills yet her opponent's sudden disappearance that she couldn't even sense instantly alarmed her.

As she came inside the green mist that had filled half of the battle ring at this point, she tried to search for Kahn who suddenly absconded into thin air.

A minute passed and yet, she couldn't find her opponent. And since the referee hadn't declared anything, meant that Kahn hadn't left the battle ring either.

Swoosh!

Kahn quickly exited the mist from the eastern end as soon as he recovered his senses, his body was now fully immune to this type of toxin.

Kythra also sensed that her opponent also appeared on the opposite end and prepared for another onslaught.

But when she exited the waning mist, her expression turned that of joy as she gazed at the opponent.

Kahn looked like he was… drunk.

Barely managing his footing and the body movements were erratic as if he would fall on the ground any moment from now on.

[Hmph! He's already affected and barely holding on. I'm going to enjoy humiliating him.] thought Kythra as her long snake tongue revealed itself.

Kahn on the other end was barely supporting himself using his sword as a stick.

"Take this you despicable human!" she shouted and launched herself in his direction while making a vertical slash attack from all of her six swords covered in the dense aura.

BOOM!!

A loud banging noise resounded in the arena as the collective sword attack shook the entire battle ring. And as soon as the aura attack dispersed, the figure of Kythra was revealed from the dust cloud.

Hiccup! Hiccup!

"Ah.. What's happening. I feel like I'm dreaming." said a man in black and golden longcoat who stood very close to the six swords of the lamia opponent as if he barely missed the attack by an inch.

Kahn moved backward as he fell on the ground and tried to create some distance.

He looked at the opponent with a smile on his face and spoke in a gibberish tone.

"Whewy lawdy… you're shoo preetttyyy."

[What the.. This isn't how my poison is supposed to work. Does he have a special kind of disposition?] thought Kythra but then regained her posture.

Swing!

Clang!

She haphazardly attacked Kahn with quick and repeated swings of her swords but every single time, Kahn evaded them by an inch in a microsecond despite looking like a drunk man.

His body movements and facial expressions varying from time to time as he would either slip on his feet or roll on the floor while evading her attacks and use the sword to parry her thrusts in the last second.

Despite having speed and agility on her side, she wasn't even hitting her supposedly drunk opponent.

At this moment, Kahn was fighting Kythra just like Jackie Chan from the Drunken Master movie. His movements made no sense and seemed completely unpredictable to the opponent.

10 more minutes passed and Kythra used her poison skill two more times but the results were same. And this stage, she was getting exhausted with all her heavy and powerful attack skills being used frequently.

But her opponent was easily dodging and parrying them like a seasoned swordsman fighting a newbie. This was already raising her temper as she wanted to put Kahn in the ground.

"Just stand there so I can beat you!" she shouted in an exasperated tone.

To the audience.. It seemed like she was an incapable fighter who couldn't even hit her opponent who was already struggling to stand properly. On top of it, Kahn had a merry smile on his face while he was praising her appearance from time to time.

He was publicly teasing her while she struggled to land a fatal and decisive blow.

"Damn you! I didn't want to use this.. But you've thoroughly pissed me off!" exclaimed Kythra and the next second, her black iris turned yellow.

Flash!

A yellow flash was revealed from her glimmering eyes.

Paralysis Gaze!

Kythra used one of her kin's special techniques!

And Kahn froze on the spot the very next second.

"Arhhh…" groaned Kythra in pain as she covered her eyes and grabbed her head that felt like it suffered an intense shock.

Clearly, an aftereffect of using this bloodline skill.

She quickly activated her sensing skills and swung her sword to land a finishing blow on Kahn.

Clang!!

However, all her swords were blocked by the opponent's blade and he flicked them all high up in the air like they weren't swords but some lightweight sticks.

Kythra looked at Kahn in disbelief as soon as she recovered but the next second, Kahn's eyes also flashed yellow like lightening for a second and it was her who was paralyzed on the spot this time.

Kahn put his sword's tip close to her heart and spoke in a tyrannical voice that petrified the Lamia opponent…

"Weakness disgusts me."
