Poison? When Did You Poison Me?
"Chirp~~"
A clear, melodious chirping sound rang out.
The voice was as tender and clear as a fledgling bird's, yet it was not as weak and feeble as a newborn chick's.
A strong wind swept around Skywing A, blowing away the poisonous mist that had been pouring in.
It was impossible to get close to Skywing A.
Even the toxic fog, blown by the wind, flowed back into the pipes, and the wind blades destroyed all the structures along the way, preventing the toxic fog from entering through the pipes again.
Skywing A arrived unharmed beside the strangely placed container.
As if mocking the Fang Yi, he made a peace sign at the surveillance camera.
The second city lord was watching the monitor when he saw this provocative gesture that seemed to slap him in the face, and his expression twisted for a moment.
But his years of experience had allowed him to quickly adjust his expression and revert to his usual inscrutable and imposing demeanor.
"Hmph, a provocation?"
As he watched Skywing A open the container holding the Divine Scion, his smile unconsciously widened.
The previous setup, whether it was traps, firearms, or poison gas, was all out in the open. Once you could see it, it would be easy to defend against.
Especially for the Contract Anomalist with special abilities, the Second City Lord never underestimated the strength of these special individuals.
Although compared to the flawless Divine Scion, human Contract Anomalist are indeed much more vulnerable and have many weaknesses.
However, he possesses special abilities, and this alone is enough for the Second City Lord to hold him in high regard and be extremely wary of his abilities.
Those traps and guns could not stop Skywing A's advance, and the No. 2 city lord was not surprised.
If he couldn't even get past these simple traps, then the lords of nine cities wouldn't be so wary of him.
The poisonous fog was one of the experiments conducted by the second city lord.
The Contract Anomalist then revealed another ability: the strong winds that rose from the ground were clearly abnormal, and these winds happened to keep the poisonous fog out, even blowing it away completely.
"Does it have the ability to control the wind?"
"A second special ability?"
"No, that unseen attack earlier might also be related to the wind. After all, the wind is difficult to see in some ways, and if the wind is too fast, it can indeed deceive the eyes."
"So his attack method relies on the wind?"
"This also explains why his whereabouts were so difficult to track before; he could fly freely through the city using the wind, and might even possess the speed of the wind."
"If we let him escape, it will be a real problem. The wind is incredibly strong, and without buildings to block it from view, catching him will be virtually impossible."
"The plan to use missiles against him has also failed, since his movement speed is too fast, and the missiles may not be able to hit him."
Unless he can stand still and let them attack him.
But what idiot would do that?
City Lord No. 2 watched as Skywing A took something out and threw it at the Divine Scion, Divine Scion enormous figure then vanished instantly.
Only a fist-sized, black, spherical object remained, which returned to Skywing A's hand.
City Lord No. 2 looked at the black sphere and instinctively felt that it was a device used to imprison the Divine Scion.
If they could obtain this device, or even figure out its structure, then perhaps they could create a way to safely imprison the Divine Scion while continuing to obtain high-purity energy.
The second city lord revealed a carefree smile, confident in all of these plans.
The moment that Contract Anomalist Contract Anomalist into the tomb-like prison built specifically for him, everything was already destined for his death.
Hahaha, you so-called "Skywing"Contract Anomalist by those fools, you're like a bird with its neck being choked, die a painful death here!
The second city lord even enabled screen mirroring.
These surveillance videos were shared with other city lords for viewing.
City Lord Number 4: "What? You're showing us these so we can learn from your failures?"
"Number 2 is a very cunning guy; he must have been absolutely certain before he let us come to see him."
"Hahaha, how about it? Has that Contract Anomalist been caught yet?"
"Damn it, he killed all my guards! He absolutely cannot be let go."
"Huh? He's already put away the Divine Scion. What are those things?"
"A device that can imprison that kind of monster? We should definitely seize it."
"If we study it further, we might be able to discover what controls the Divine Scion."
While the city lords were still joking around after watching Skywing A's challenge, they all stared at the Anomaly Cage that Skywing A took out.
"Isn't it time to close the net, Number 2?" said City Lord Number 7.
The other city lords also chimed in, eager to see the Contract Anomalist die and obtain his extraordinary spoils.
The second city lord smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, he has already stepped into the trap I set for him, and he's probably still completely unaware of it, right?"
"However, once the toxins in his body erupt, he will suffer excruciating torment and die a agonizing death under the corrosive effects of the toxins."
"Poison? When did you poison me?" City Lord No. 4 asked in surprise.
He reviewed the surveillance footage; hadn't the poisonous fog been blown away by the Contract Anomalist's manipulation of the wind?
"Hmph, of course it starts from the very beginning."
The surveillance footage is being watched by City Lord No. 2.
Skywing A seemed to finally realize something, perhaps the poison in his body was finally taking effect, and he stopped.
"From the moment he stepped into this building I specially designed, every breath he took unknowingly inhaled the toxins I released."
"Unlike colored poisonous fog, the toxins I released throughout the buildings are colorless and odorless. Although their effects are slow, they are only fatal if inhaled over a prolonged period."
"But, there's enough time."
City Lord No. 2 calculated the time it took for Skywing A to make its way to the Divine Scion. Although Skywing A had used its fastest speed, basically going in a rampage, it had overpowered everyone along the way.
However, due to the complex terrain and various mechanisms, he stayed in the building for more than ten minutes.
Inhaling this toxin continuously for ten minutes.
Even if a god descended, he probably couldn't save this person.
The city lord of number 2 never imagined there were other possibilities for a comeback.
"He's dead."
City Lord Number 7 couldn't help but applaud loudly. "Impressive! Impressive! No wonder you're Number 2. You've taken care of our most troublesome enemy with just one move!"
The City No. 3 Lord also put aside his prejudices.
