The Harbinger of Misfortune title effect activated!
The first negative status appeared.
[Winter's Chill: Movement speed reduced by 40%. Takes 3 points of cold damage per second.]
The Remnant soldiers who had been about to swarm Bai Xiaowen suddenly felt a bone-deep chill. Their jog slowed to a crawl. They could only watch as the human man who had been showing off rose slowly from the ground and lightly dusted off his knees.
"Heh... None of you are leaving today."
Bai Xiaowen clasped his hands behind his back, every inch the master.
Three seconds later, Harbinger of Misfortune's range rapidly expanded to a two-hundred-meter radius, and a new negative status joined the mix!

Bai Xiaowen recovered after barely a moment's daze. He saw that every enemy within two hundred meters was suffering from both Concussion and Winter's Chill.
Heh. A self-destructing little truck. This is fun. Bai Xiaowen was delighted. An A-Tier title certainly lived up to its rank. If he was willing to take the risk, he could practically face an army alone.

Bai Xiaowen could not help wondering whether its range would extend indefinitely.
He soon discovered he had overestimated it.
After half a minute,
