Alchemy has its perks—there's a potion for everything. Rita pulled out a poison crafted with intermediate alchemy skills, one that drained 10 HP per minute for 10 minutes. She coated her dagger with the poison, drank an invisibility potion, and **Phantom Shifted** to **Amelia's** house. At that moment, Amelia was on the phone, discussing the purchase of basic healing potions.
Rita silently moved behind her and lightly slashed the back of Amelia's neck with the poisoned dagger before retreating a few steps.
The dagger was razor-sharp, and though the cut was shallow and Rita was quick, Amelia felt a brief sting. When she touched the wound, her fingers came away with blood—now turning a dark purple. Opening her character panel in terror, Amelia saw a new status effect:
**[Poisoned]: Lose 10 HP per minute. Duration: 10 minutes.**
