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 Szar''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''tst 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." Szar 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 ce 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 froming any closer, but s, 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 used 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 froming 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. Youe 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

    The warning scared everyone off, and all of them retreated further back.
