At the thought, Dian's expression turned grave, then lit up with wild excitement.
His unease came from the glimpse he had caught of an Elite's strength. Koga, who had mastered poison, likely had an absolute ace capable of inflicting Toxic, Paralysis, Sleep, and other debilitating conditions with a single glance.

The method was simple and
