Chapter 429: Chapter 218: Lawrence, Reduced to a Goblin... (Part 4)

The Blood Burning Reagent was a type of functional Potion.

But unlike ordinary functional Potions, the Blood Burning Reagent was exceptionally powerful and came with enormous side effects.

After drinking the Blood Burning Reagent, the user’s Qi and Blood would enter a state akin to "boiling" for a short period. Its strength and activity would increase dramatically, granting them an extremely powerful burst of power for its duration.

This immense burst of power was enough to overcome a two to three-level gap, even for an Elite Level Adventurer.

Correspondingly, after the Potion’s effects wore off, the user would enter a weakened state, their strength reduced by more than half. Their Qi and Blood would also be permanently weakened from the temporary overdraft, and their physical Attributes would decline. According to recent research, it would even affect their life expectancy.

Therefore, very few people would use a functional Potion with such severe side effects unless it was an absolute last resort.

Shaya sprang into action at once, swinging her dagger and attacking her opponent.

However, after drinking the Blood Burning Reagent, the man’s explosive power clearly surpassed Shaya’s. After a brief clash, they slid past each other, and Shaya’s body trembled slightly, showing a momentary loss of balance.

Seizing this opportunity, the Assassin charged straight for Lin Mo.

Boosted by the Blood Burning Reagent, his already fast speed became even more astonishing. He was upon him in the blink of an eye.

"Wall of Flames!"

Flora’s voice rang out from the side, and a wall of Flame materialized in front of Lin Mo.

The Assassin no longer cared. His eyes were filled with madness, and he showed no sign of slowing down, his sharp dagger aimed straight for Lin Mo’s throat.

Lin Mo’s gaze was fixed on the sharp blade rapidly approaching him.

A hint of panic appeared on his face, but in stark contrast, his eyes remained calm and composed.

Normally, his opponent might have noticed something was amiss. But now, under the Potion’s influence, he was incapable of such complex thought. All he could think about was killing Lin Mo to complete the mission, then escaping before the Potion’s effects wore off.

The sharp dagger stabbed into the Wall of Flames. Boosted by the Blood Burning Reagent, cracks actually began to spread across its surface.

But the Wall of Flames still managed to block him for a moment, and at the same time, the raging flames obscured his vision.

’That’s enough!’

Lin Mo suddenly pulled an Arrow from his Ring of Space and tossed it into the air.

The next moment, the Wall of Flames shattered. The Assassin became a blur, appearing before Lin Mo in an instant. Under Flora’s anxious gaze, the sharp dagger plunged precisely into his throat.

"Ugh..."

The triumphant look on the Assassin’s face suddenly froze.

An icy pain shot up from his lower abdomen.

He looked down and saw that the Lin Mo before him was holding an Arrow. As he had lunged forward, he had impaled himself on it.

Then, a strong feeling of Paralysis spread throughout his body...

’This Arrow is poisoned!’

He realized it immediately, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Between the potent poison and the impending side effects of the Blood Burning Reagent, he knew it would be difficult to escape unscathed.

’But it’s fine. At least I completed the mission...’

—Just as he was thinking this, a wave of heat washed over him. The "Lin Mo" whose throat he had just pierced suddenly exploded.

BOOM—!

The dust settled, and a few seconds later, the real Lin Mo walked out from the side.

This was a contingency he had prepared for the potential Quasi-Golden Level Goblin. He had thought it would go unused after the Goblin Army retreated, but unexpectedly, a twist of fate had made it useful after all.
