Sara Avesta was released from her daze and instantly felt dread. She gritted her teeth and in her Manticore form, she leaped out towards Allen, her scorpion tail was already prepared to sting Allen. With one sting of her tail, her victim would die in less than a minute from her poison.
Lemuel Jones also moved, however, before he could leap, the floor under him split open and souls of the dead sprang up like weeds— skeletal hands grabbed his ankles, holding him down.
“Manticore, ey?” Allen twisted his mouth into a cruel smile. “What a rare monster…”
The Skeleton Warriors immediately sprang towards the incoming Manticore, they didn’t use the guns and instead wrestle with it.
Sadly, the skeleton warriors are just skeleton warriors… they couldn’t possibly hope to contend with a Manticore…
The Manticore was already in front of him, but Allen was still smiling while standing.
“Die!” Sarah yelled as her tail moved.
Splash!
A liquid splash on her face.
Sarah frowned but suddenly she noticed it wasn’t blood. When she looked up, her face instantly paled and to her horror, Allen’s hand was nonchalantly grabbing her stinger.
The liquid that had splashed on her face was not blood but in fact was the poison secreted by her stinger.
“Good Poison,” Allen grin. The purple colored liquid run through his hand, dripping on the floor. “I can feel my [ Lower Poison Immunity ] skill’s level skyrocketing… certainly a good way to grind the skill…”
With the Manticore’s poison toxicity, Allen’s [ Lower Poison Immunity ] level was indeed insufficient and the leftover poison was running through his entire body, mixing with his blood.
Although he wasn’t cut, still this was Manticore’s special ability. As long as one touched its poison, they will be affected… through the pores of the body…
However, Allen was already a Lv7 Superhuman and with the Monster King, Devil Transformation, Leviathan’s physiology, and lastly, don’t forget Lime who was still inside his body, and it was a poison-metal attribute monster.
Poison was its specialty…
And so, his vitality and poison endurance already surpasses the Superhuman realm by far!
Inside his body, antibodies were already accumulating in a very rapid manner, resisting the poison’s toxicity and his skill [ Lower Poison Immunity ] was working overtime, trying to eliminate the poison.
Thus, indeed, it was an extremely good way to grind his skill [ Lower Poison Immunity ]!
Allen grabbed Sara’s stinger and lifted it.
Sara struggled. She raised its claws and slashed towards Allen’s body but how could it pierce through a dragon’s skin?
Allen didn’t even use his Devil Fruit’s ability, the poor claws were like a dull blade against a steel wall.
It produced a ‘Ting’ sound akin to metals clashing together.
Unfortunately, Allen’s shirt was ripped. That was an oversight…
Allen frowned and with one hand, he slammed Sara in the ground.
Bam!
Sara shrieked in pain. She let out a roar and despite the pain; she raised her claws and tried again.
"You all thought you'd be able to win? Hmph. Don't even think you're on the same level as me...!" Allen’s arrogant words reverberated in the entire room.
Allen lifted her in the air again and ‘Bang’ slams her on the ground. The floor already had a crater, a 1-meter radius crater.
Sara spewed a mouthful of blood and her consciousness was already drifting. She couldn’t move her body again and with her blurry consciousness, she heard a sound of steps and voice.

“You all have good skills, but sadly, I’m not as much as interested on it as my abilities far above yours…” She heard his voice.
“Be thankful as I will not take them… leaving it on you anyway is far more useful for me. I will just take this as a child’s argument, but there will be no next time. If you still act dumbly and stupidly in the future, I’ll do you a favor and take them from you, I think those abilities would be far more useful in my hands…”
Monster… Sara who had lost all her strength and Lemuel Jones who can’t move due to the ghosts sucking his strength while being tied down by skeleton warriors cursed inwardly.
“Don’t think just because you have stronger and convenient abilities, you are already Gods. Really ridiculous! You haven’t stepped out of your own small world, morons… go outside and you will be stepped down like ants…”
‘Dang’ a sound of closing doors rang out the silent room.
Masoud Abed who was watching the entire scene was rooted on the corner of the door, stunned silly. He had thought Ali Mahsid and the others were extremely powerful but who would know, they can’t even last half an hour fighting a single youth!
What the heck is that power?!
It truly flipped his entire awareness of the world he had until now!
In this situation, the right proverb would be ‘They were truly ‘Like a Frog in a Well’’.

Ding!
At this moment, as Allen was walking in the city, a very familiar chime suddenly rang out inside his mind.
“Hm?” Allen frowned. Then a prompt window appeared before his eyes.
[ Congratulations Allen Bando! Due to the rapid mutation of the Antibodies in your body caused by the energy only Dragon possesses, you have developed immunity to some Earthly diseases! You will never get sick and cannot be killed with certain toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, allergen or poisonous gasses. ]
Ding! [ Skill [ Lower Poison Immunity ] mutated into [ Semi-Contaminant Immunity ]! The host is now immune to some known poisons, toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, allergen, etc. ]
Ding! [ Due to Antibodies mutation, two skills of the Dragon species was awakened accidentally! ]
[ [ Decelerated Aging ] – Like the Dragon kind, the host now has an extended lifespan caused by incredible self-healing ability. The host now ages slower than normal for their kind!
[ High-Speed Regeneration ] - The host can now rapidly regenerate and recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs, and even slowing aging due to constantly regenerate the length of one's telomeres. ]
“Oh?!” Allen was given a pleasant surprise. So there is also like this?
Although [ Decelerated Aging ] isn’t really important since he was a Superhuman and one might even be able to live forever if one reached the highest possible level without aging even a bit, [ High-Speed Regeneration ] was extremely welcome!
Unfortunately, it’s not [ Instant Regeneration ] but when this skill reaches maximum, it would evolve into [ Instant Regeneration ], anyway, who knows he might be able to acquire it much early than that~
At this moment, Allen’s impression of Sara increased by a level. She was a good girl!
She actually gave her some convenient and powerful abilities~
He should give her some thanks sometime…

Several days have already passed since Allen first came into the city.
After that incident with the leaders of the city which was actually named Mithir City, glorifying the name of Mithras the Iranian god of the sun, justice, contract, and war, no one dared to confront or even interact with Allen.
Though the city’s people seem to be unaware of it as they still interact with Allen without any problem, Military soldiers who saw Allen will immediately change course, avoiding him.
But this was never a problem for him.
They have a life as he has his. In any case, Allen will only stop here for a quite some time.
‘Well, they were not so useless that they couldn't be used when the time was right.’
Truthfully, Allen was going to leave immediately but he suddenly heard a very disturbing information from the Elemental Spirits, which is only from the Earth and Water Spirit, since even now, the Wind and the Fire Spirit has never shown themselves to him again.
It seems like some kind of trouble is going on inside the forest.
According to the Nymphs, some kind of monster had appeared and had controlled numerous monsters to do its biddings. What’s worse is that it seems to be planning something – and Allen isn’t optimistic enough to think that the plan the Nymphs have spoken wasn’t related to the city he was in right now…
Although Allen didn’t like the leaders, however, the people in this city was innocent. At least, he has to do something…
“Mister Magwayan!” Someone called out to him.
Allen stops and turned his head. At first, he was having troubles understanding the language but as time passed by, he was getting used to it and even understand quite a bit already.
This is one of the advantages of being a high level Superhuman…
“I have some very good Limes here, what do you think of having one?” It was the old man who was fruit vendor.
“I’ll have some then,” Allen answered.
The trading system in this city was surprisingly bartering…
That’s right, Barter!
And meats of Magic beasts are the most welcome commodity in this city.
It might be late to say this but meat from Magic beasts or commonly known as monster beasts have surprising effects on a human body. Due to it being existences that absorb mana, its every meat, every part was extremely delicious and most importantly, it strengthens a normal human’s body.
Although not to the point of being a Superhuman, consuming this flesh will fill you with strength and vitality above that of a normal human.
When eaten, it also extends a normal human lifespan by a bit…
Though, for Superhumans, these effects were almost nigh noticeable…
But for normal humans, this was already extremely very important!
In addition, compared to normal livestock, monster meats have a long lifespan and it won’t spoil even if it was stored for a whole week without preservatives. And if you dried it under the sun, it will last for a month or two… thus, it was certainly an extremely good food material.
“One kilogram of meat for two kilograms of Limes, how about it?” The old man said, hopefully.
It was actually quite a high price but Allen didn’t care. He didn’t care about it anyway…
