“Baam!”

Leon’s second wave of true energy sent Crowley flying and he lay sprawled across the ground with

blood oozing from his mouth. “Wh- What just happened?” He muttered.

Just as Leon tried to deliver the finishing blow, Crowley released a bag of transparent powder that had

no color or scent.

“The Veratrum poison!” Leon’s expression darkened as he recognized that it was the Veratrum poison,

which combined the poisonous properties of multiple plants. He immediately held his breath, but it was

already too late.

He already accidentally inhaled the powder, so he immediately pressed into the compression points

around his chest and shoulders to seal them, actively preventing the poison from infiltrating his organs.

“Haha! I didn’t expect you to know about the Veratrum poison. Not bad!” Crowley coughed and glared

at Leon with a ferocious look.

He happened upon a recipe claimed to be for the Veratrum poison a few years ago, and was slightly

surprised that someone as young as Leon would know about the poison.

“Crowley, so the Libertons were the ones who poisoned Damian!” Patrick was enraged as he marched

over with the other Scammells.

Ever since Damian was injured by the Libertons, his legs slowly became paralyzed and Leon

diagnosed that it was caused by a poison named Veratrum poison, so Patrick assumed that the

Libertons were not involved.

It was not until this moment that he realized the Libertons were the ones who poisoned Damian.

“That’s right! I just meant to test how effective the poison was, and it did not disappoint!” Crowley

fumbled to get up despite the pain of his injuries.

He happened upon the Veratrum poison and did not know if the recipe was true, so he experimented

on Damian and since all the symptoms Damian showed afterward matched with the ancient record of

the poison, Crowley decided that the recipe he obtained was real.

“It’s just a slow–acting poison! It’s foolish of you to use this poison against me, old twat!” Leon scoffed.

He knew that the Veratrum poison was a slow–acting poison that was invented in ancient times that

could lead to a slow, but definite death. There was extremely hard to treat because the symptoms were

hard to notice and there was no official antidote for it; however, the poison took effect for years and the

victim would not be in life–threatening danger until one to two years after being exposed to it. With

everything that Leon inherited from his ancestor, he could easily remove any poison from his body as

long as he was not killed on the spot.

“Who told you that it’s a slow–acting poison? Let me tell you the truth. The poison I dosed you with isn’t

the Veratrum poison, but the Deadly Veratrum poison! Unlike the ordinary Veratrum poison, this poison

kills its victim immediately!” Crowley sneered viciously.
