His vision changed to an infrared vision, and when he observed his body, he noticed a black substance subtly spreading around his internal system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If my body wasn't so sensitive to my internal heat changes, I wouldn't have known about the poison, and I would have died about thirty minutes later.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr calmly thought, then he glanced at Old Man Poison, who calmly twirled his staff with a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People like you truly disgust me. You can never defeat an opponent with your own strength, and you have to rely on a cowardly thing like poison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr spoke with unveiled disgust and disdain, and Old Man Poison nonchalantly cleaned his ears with his pinky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say something different will ya? I've heard something similar before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr's expression became cold when he heard and saw Old Man Poison's nonchalant tone and expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tired of people weaker than him looking at him like he was an ant and not a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it was a tier 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was a cowardly tier 4 who used poison to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level of disrespect he received from these two individuals infuriated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around Zephyr became warmer, and with a cold expression, Zephyr increased his body's temperature to a very high degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended on burning the poison in his body to nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had only fought one poison user, and that was when he was a tier 3, he learned from the fight and knew that a method to remove poison from his body was to increase his body temperature to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the heat was high enough, any poison could be burnt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought in his mind, he calmly and confidently increased his body's temperature, and Old Man Poison raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr saw that, and he frowned. He was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed, and he covered his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>COUGH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent amount of black blood spewed out from his throat, staining his hand and clothes in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell on his knees, and his vision became hazy. His breathing became labored, and his body became weak, with sweat dripping all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap Tap\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you guys really lack combat experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison's voice flowed into Zephyr's ears, and Zephyr tried to look up, but he failed… miserably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The poison in your system is a mid-tier 4 poison, which is one of my favorites.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison crouched and gazed at Zephyr with an emotionless expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I call the poison Thermic toxin. Under normal circumstances, the poison is meant to take a long time before it kills you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, this is why I like the poison. The poison's potency increases the more heat it is exposed to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr's eyes widened the instant he heard Old Man Poison's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head snapped towards Old Man Poison. His facial expression contained an extreme amount of unconcealed shock, and his eyes flashed with a light of realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems your underdeveloped brain can comprehend what I'm saying. That's good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison calmly spoke while nodding his head. He stood, and with a soft groan, he bent his back backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn. It's not good to be old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough! Cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison chuckled softly while shaking his head. He looked at Zephyr, who was coughing out another copious amount of black blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I was saying. The more heat the poison is exposed to, the more its potency increases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Normally, when I use this poison, what increases its potency is when the opponent is worked up and fights in a prolonged fight. Since you're a fire user, the poison's potency would obviously increase the more we fought. But…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison paused, then he released a chuckle filled with mockery as he looked at Zephyr, who was struggling to remain on his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just had to release so much heat on the poison. Now the poison is most likely a tier 5 poison, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison softly exhaled, then he went to a nearby crate which was not destroyed and sat on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I was going to have a very difficult fight, but this… this is extremely disappointing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>09:06\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr released a guttural groan of anger, and he raised his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-you c-coward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr shouted, and flames appeared on his raised right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison raised his brows, and with a bored expression on his face, he pointed his staff at Zephyr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orb on the staff and Old Man Poison's glowed with a dark green light, and in the next instant, Zephyr's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GAHHHH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr screamed, and with a loud thud, he fell face flat onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ARGHHH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr curled up in a ball while holding his stomach with a pained cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to give you a painless death, but since you don't know your place, I'll make you regret your last minutes in this life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison spoke with an emotionless expression as he gazed at Zephyr, who was screaming in pain and rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr was currently going through various emotions along with an unimaginable amount of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Poison had directed the poison to move into his mana core, which was completely comprised of fire elemental energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mana core was the hottest part of his body, and it was so hot that a lot of the poison in his body evaporated. But, a minute amount survived, and they adapted to the heat in his mana core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minute amount that survived and adapted shockingly multiplied, and they ravaged his mana core with ravenous ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr gritted his teeth, and a second later, he laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed so hard that Corey, Dante, Fatty Black Bonez, and the rest could hear despite how far they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll die you coward! You'll definitely die you coward! I promise you that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr shouted with a delirious tone and expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was in shambles, and his will to live was no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mana core had cracks on it and was getting destroyed by Old Man Poison's poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew that there would be a treasure or herb in the House of Hellfire that would be able to heal his cracked mana core. He knew that the House would not use such a herb or treasure on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not an important member of the House of Hellfire, nor was he the most talented individual in the House of Hellfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was a top talent in the House of Hellfire, he was not that important that the House would decide to use a precious treasure or herb on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If it's him, then they'll definitely use everything they have to heal him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr thought with a maddened grin as the image of a handsome black-haired male with red and brown eyes flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Old Man Poison, who was looking at him with an emotionless expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'll see if you'll still have the same expression when the House makes all of you one of their targets.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr thought with a chuckle, then he coughed out another copious amount of black blood, and a teardrop flowed down his left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder whether Father would care about my death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr mumbled, then the light in his eyes faded, and his breathing stilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr died.\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-03T08:32:36.700Z","2026-06-03T08:32:42.635Z",1,"novelbin.me","96c4f56798bc0b5652773450e030f483470b348c89b09bebbc013168f11c51a9","single-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-chapter-325","single-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-chapter-323",1197,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsingle-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-cover.jpg"]
