24 Poison Element

"Ivy, embrace me!" Colt said.

"Uh? Right here right now?" Ivy was embarrassed to hug Colt in front of Fatty Khan.

"Fast!" Colt wanted to leave this shithole as fast as he could but Ivy agitated him a bit with this demeanor.

Ivy got surprised to Colt's expression, but she listened to him as she embraced him.

"Fatty here, take my hand" Colt said while looking at Fatty Khan, but his expression wasn't so happy. Colt thought if he should take Fatty Khan with him or not, especially that he has already fallen for Ivy, he didn't want to kill Fatty Khan for Ivy. But if Ivy wanted to be with Fatty Khan instead, than that's a totally different story. Colt was used to people betraying him for better people, but all the people that betrayed him are in their graves right now. But then again Colt survived in the first place thanks to Fatty Khan, so he wanted to save him this once, so they are equivalent is saving each other, but after getting out of the mine, Colt will cut all his relation with Fatty Khan.

"O-ok" Fatty Khan was a bit confused but he knew that Colt wouldn't hurt him, so he took Colt's hand.

Colt looked at Fatty's eyes, he was troubled 'how did you change like this just because of one girl, our friendship really wasn't that much to you, was it?' Colt was sad in his heart, since yesterday he thought that he and Fatty would be the kind of friends that can get through everything together, but too bad Fatty's personality is weak to woman. 'Just for one woman, that's not even that much beautiful you sold our friendship?' Colt was still in his sad thoughts when Zilean pulled his sleeves to wake him up.

"Oh… you can go now" Colt said as he looked at the transparent Zilean that Colt and Ivy couldn't see. Suddenly Zlean started running towards the entrance, the army has already started fighting, but the squad leaders weren't in the war yet, which made it one sided, the army was completely annihilating the Mine's weak guards, only some elite ones were able to stand for a bit, but they were about to fall as well, when suddenly a huge horde of guards that were led by the four squad leaders came by, the other three quad leaders had one women in them, she wasn't beautiful but she wasn't bad as well. But her fighting style was frightening since she had two huge machetes that made her slice the army's weak soldiers in half, while other could jump and block it, the other three squad leaders were Grave, a masculine and huge guy with his sword, another one was an elder, he had some hair missing from parts of his head, he looked like a total maniac since he was laughing while slicing soldiers in half, the last one was fighting with the marshal, he was an old man, but what was weird about him is he not having a weapon, he just walked around and everyone that tried attacking him fell to the ground before even touching him, but this special power didn't work on the marshal, as he jumped trying to slice the squad leader In half, suddenly the old man pulled his hands that had a strange green liquid right under his skin and stopped the sword right in front of his face, the sword suddenly melted as if touched the hottest lava.

"Impo--- impossible! Poison element should have been diminished from the world a long time ago!" the marshal screamed, this made all the soldiers and even the guards look at the marshal and the old man, only the squad leaders didn't care about this, as if they knew it already.

"Marshal, let this guy to me!" suddenly a voice came from behind the marshal as his hand putted the marshal's shoulder. Even the marshal was surprised since he didn't feel anyone behind him. Only after looking back did his worries ease."Duke… are you su-" before he could continue his sentence the duke already started walking towards the old man. All the soldiers and guards even the squad leaders stopped their fight as they looked towards the two.

The duke had immense energy coming from his body, he has more Qi than all the people in this whole place combined. While the other was an old man with the poison element which was known to have been diminished from this world a long time ago, since it was one of the strongest elements one could possibly have, but it also makes her holder sick and can't procreate which was the reason for its diminishing but somehow this old man was able to stay alive.

The duke was just walking as his body suddenly started getting bigger and bigger, his clothes got teared more and more, as his muscles got bigger and bigger. On the other hand the old man didn't do anything as he just stayed there observing the duke coming closer and closer to him.

"Stop stop!" Colt told Zilean, he wanted to see this fight, he knew that he could gain something from the duke and the old man's fight.

"We are in danger! Can't you see?"Zilean pointed at the army

Colt was confused, but when he looked at the army, he saw them getting back slowly, it's as if they are scared that they might die from the collision of the duke and the old man.

Ivy and Fatty were confused on so many levels but they knew that staying silent is the wisest thing to do

"Well, then just go to the backside of the army and let me observe ok… or wait!" Colt had a thought that can bring him immense benefits."Can you tell me how to go to stealth mode?"

"Eh?" Zilean was confused at Colt's request.
