"It''s been a while... Surely he''d be withered down to bones no matter how strong he is? Not even a peak Ascendant rank individual could withstand the rotting gas I''ve concocted from a thousand dposing bodies."


    Naturally, the diminutive figure was none other than Baba Yaga.


    Even as she mused to herself, her expression was careful as she circled the clinic repeatedly.


    Eventually, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard nothing.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    "I guess he''s really done." Sheughed coolly. "They all say that Frank''s power is unmatched, but he fell just like the rest before my poison! Guess I should report this to Hundred Bane Sect... Hmph! It seems like Titus Lionheart owes us a favor now."


    "That reminds me... I should search the body for a spiritron vein, since he might carry it with him..." Letting down her guard just then, she opened the doors of the clinic, ready to search Frank''s corpse. However, an arm suddenly shot out from the clinic amid the silent night, seizing Baba Yaga by the neck!


    "Oof!!! How... is that possible?!"


    Baba Yaga''s eyes widened at the sight of that arm which remained unscathed, herself caught in speechless shock and disbelief.


    Bang!


    A second hand reached out after the first, tearing through the door easily like it was candy wrapper.


    Then, the dark figure behind lifted the door into the air with his bare hand and threw it into the distance!


    Under the bright moon glow, he looked up, baring his white teeth as he grinned. "You really returned, hag. I''ve been waiting for a while, too!"


    "How... how... How is that possible?! My poison... didn''t work?!"


    Baba Yaga struggled as hard as she stared at Frank as if he were a ghost.


    He had entered the clinic early in the evening, and it was now past midnight-about seven hourster.


    A normal person would die if the gas so much as touched them, but Frank stayed in it for up to seven hours and remained fine?!


    Baba Yaga was utterly confused, just as she began to doubt herself, wondering if her poison was the issue.


    However, Hardy Xinder''s death was proof that the poison worked, and that only left one possibility...


    Frank Lawrence was... Transcendent rank?!


    It was universally known that the physical body changed


    fundamentally at Transcendent rank, and poison was pointless as they surpassed the limits of physical existence.


    Those who reached beyond were no longer humans and would rise to stand among the strongest individuals of Draconia.


    That being said, Frank did not rely on


    ver


    his physique to survive that long in that poisonous gas, but his knowledge in Draconian traditional medicine instead.


    Frank had almost instantly


    dissected theposition of the et


    poisonous gas and swiftly refined


    several antidote pills with whatever materials he had.


    With Frank''s pure vigor and the pills, he survived the eerie poison for hours.


    Moreover, when he dissected the gas, he also found out something very important: the poison grew more potent after corroding through skin and flesh.


    The fact that it grew meant it was alive, and Baba Yaga would certainly not leave something so precious to waste.


    Instead she was definitely nning to return and retrieve the gas.


    That was why Frank just had to wait here, as she would most certainly return.
