Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 217 216: Belladonna

The second zone, which was called The Mountains of Soundless Death, had multiple mountains of various sizes. Some mountains were so high that their peak could not be seen. And there were also mountains that were higher than hills.

Despite the height differences of the mountains, every mountain had something in common.

Fog

At the peak of every mountain, there was a fog. The fog looked harmless, but Corey had a feeling that the fog was anything but benign. Even from afar, he felt a lethal threat from the fog.

Aside from the mountains, which gave Corey the shivers, there was the road.

The road in the Mountains of Soundless Death was so narrow that it could barely take two cars at a time.

Driving on such a road was bound to cause countless deaths. But what was going to cause more deaths was the presence of something in the air, which Corey perceived earlier than anyone else in his group.

The presence of…

"There's poison in the air."

Corey spoke. His voice carried a heavy, grim tone.

Rosa, Fatty Black Bonez, and even Divine looked at Corey with raised brows. Their eyes contained confusion, and they found nothing despite looking around or checking the outside and inside of their bodies.

But a few seconds later, Divine's face changed, and without hesitation, his body started heating up, and a large amount of steam was produced as a result.

Rosa and Fatty Black Bonez both turned towards Divine with a confused expression, but Divine gave none of them his attention.

A few seconds later, Divine exhaled, and black smoke was released from his lips as he did. He snapped his fingers and three seconds later, a cube of ice was around the black smoke.

The black smoke was trapped in a cube of ice.

"What's that?"

A baffled expression could be seen on Fatty's face as he gazed at the black smoke in the ice cube.

Divine's lips parted as he was about to speak, but Corey was a tad bit faster.

"Belladonna. A very potent tier 2 poison."

"A tier 2 poison? Apart from you, we're all tier 3. Tier 3 poisons should have no effect on us."

Fatty spoke with confusion as he could not determine the reason for Divine's reaction when he realized he was poisoned.

To his knowledge, only tier 3 poisons should be able to affect them. Tier 2 poisons should have become ineffective on them.

"Fool."

A scoff resounded in Racing Wolf, and Rosa's derisive voice reached the ears of all.

"There are extremely powerful tier 2 poisons that can affect even powerful tier 3's like us. Don't be like a frog at the bottom of the well."

"How powerful can a tier 2 poison be?"

Fatty questioned, his tone containing skepticism.

"Well, the symptoms one should expect after getting poisoned by Belladonna are: dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, tachycardia, loss of balance, staggering, headache, rash, severe flushing, severely dry mouth and throat, slurred speech, urinary retention, constipation, confusion, hallucinations, delirium, and convulsions."

"The poison doesn't kill. It's the symptoms that kill the victim."

"..."

An uncomfortable silence enveloped the interior of Racing Wolf, and the eyes of Rosa, Fatty Black Bonez, and even Divine all stared at Corey, who had a nonchalant and calm expression.

Corey looked at them and tilted his head.

"What?"

"Are you sure you're… okay mentally?"

At first, he struggled to find the right words to use at the end of his sentence. Fatty Black Bonez did, and then he spoke while looking at Corey with a baffled expression.

"I'm definitely not okay mentally. Why did you ask?"

Corey questioned with a confused look on his tilted head.

Fatty's eyes widened, and a few seconds later…

"What do you mean WHY?!"

"WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT THE BELLOMA POISON WAS SO FUCKING DANGEROUS?!"

A confused expression appeared on Corey's face as he looked at Fatty Black Bonez, who had a panicked and enraged expression on his face.

"But I told you. Right? Also, it's not 'Belloma' poison, it's Belladonna poison."

Fatty's left eye twitched, and he clenched and unclenched his hands multiple times before releasing a sigh.

"Scaredy cat."

A vein appeared on Fatty's head as he heard Rosa's whisper. He grumbled and cursed under his breath, but a few seconds later, his expression changed, and with widened eyes, he looked at his hands, which were beginning to darken.

"Shit! I'm poisoned!"

Fatty cursed his palms, and his face became sweaty due to his panicking.

He remembered Corey's previous words on the symptoms of the Belladonna poison, and in the next moment, numerous thoughts appeared in his mind.

'My vision feels blurry. My heart is beating like a thousand horses on steroids. I feel dizzy. My head hurts. And oh my gods of the bones, I- I feel like using the toilet!'

Fatty's eyes widened, and just as he was about to release a weapon of mass destruction or, to be more precise, a gas of mass destruction, Divine's calm voice reached his ears.

"Calm down, Fatty. Just make your bones absorb the poison, then direct it to a single bone and cut it off."

"You want me to cut myself?!"

Fatty exclaimed as he looked at Divine with an expression of shock, but Divine ignored him, and Rosa rolled her eyes.

Fatty receiving no response, mumbled some curses, and Corey could hear words like 'Bloody sadistic bastard', 'Son of a bitch', and 'Crazy f*ck.'

Corey glanced at Divine, wondering if he heard Fatty's words, but from Divine's focused expression, it was unknown whether he heard Fatty's words or not.

Divine while looking at the fog at the peak of the mountains with a deep frown. A few seconds passed, and Divine sighed softly before turning towards Rosa.

"You know what to do Rosa."

Rosa nodded her head, then she looked at Corey and asked softly:

"Do you know how to drive?

Although a confused glint appeared in his eyes, Corey nodded his head.

"Good. Now you're in charge of the steering wheel."

Rosa said, then she removed her hands from the steering wheel, and the next set of events made Corey's eyes widen.
