The beginning 3

Looking at the three of them, Arthur spoke again, "I asked, What the fuck are you doing?". James continued to say, "No hard feelings, captain; someone paid 100 thousand dhan coins each in exchange for killing you, and you know that amount of money is huge for killing a single level 3 knight.". After speaking, the three who got into their positions around Arthur ran at him with mana augmenting their legs and started attacking him.Even though three people were attacking him at the same time, Arthur was not at a disadvantage and was actually gaining momentum. As the fight continued on, from the corner of his eye, he saw Mia standing in the same position where she was previously, with an empty flask in her hands.As soon as Raider attacked Arthur and Arthur rolled away, Mia spat the capsule-like thing from her mouth and drank a blue liquid, which she took out of her storage ring. As the fight continued she just stood there, looking at the fight as if enjoying a great show.As the fight continued, Arthur, even though he doesn't have a hand, was able to slowly suppress them, and as he felt he could finish off this fight smoothly, he suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and suddenly, as he was going to deliver a killing blow to James, he suddenly spat a mouthful of blood. Using this chance, James backed away from him and tried to take a breather. Arthur, after vomiting a mouthful of blood, felt strength leaving his body as he kneeled down.Inspecting his body, he realized he had been poisoned. Remembering the strange thing that went down his throat, he immediately turned his head to see Mia looking at him with a smirking face. As Mia saw Arthur looking at her, she looked around at the other three party members, who were filled with injuries and were slowly trying to stand up. Understanding they needed time to drink their healing potions and heal themselves, she started speaking to Arthur."Yes, Arthur, you have been poisoned. As soon as I tried to kiss you, I broke the capsule in my mouth, and the poison was pushed into your mouth. This poison is strong but slow-acting, which is why you didn't immediately realize it. The more you move around, the faster the poison spreads, and because you just had a huge fight, the poison nearly spread all around your body. Slowly, you will lose all the sensations in your body, and you will lose control of all your muscles. By the way, there is an antidote," saying that she pointed the now empty flask at Arthur, "but the thing is, for precautionary measures, I drank the antidote because I opened the capsule in my mouth and all" saying that she threw the empty flask in the opposite direction.Hearing everything, Arthur just kneeled there and kept looking at her without responding. Outwardly, he is calm, but internally, he is trying his best to alleviate the pain and rid the poison from his body, but it is proving to be difficult. As Mia looked at the kneeling Arthur, she turned to the other people, who by now had slowly stood up and were looking at, or rather waiting for, her instructions. "Finish the work properly, or else you will not get paid." Listening to her they turned towards Arthur and started running towards him, brandishing their weapons.
