541: My path is not alone, and my legacy will last forever

Chapter 540: My Path Is Not Lonely, Leaving Poison for Ten Thousand Generations

As the third-to-last on the Witch ranking, the Poison Ember Witch's frontal combat power wasn't strong; sometimes, she could even be recklessly killed by the Wuwang Witch.

But despite this, the ill repute of the poison ember was the most deeply rooted in people's hearts; they were beings that major forces in the world competed to eradicate.

The reason was simple: the direct or indirect slaughter caused by the Poison Ember Witch was the highest among all Witches!

It is well-known that the Poison Ember Witch has the highest talent in alchemy, especially in poison making, completely surpassing the Magical Potion Master Hero.

A Poison Ember Witch who had developed to the late stage could concoct poisons that could kill almost anything.

Nearly a million years ago, a massive war erupted on the distant Southern Underworld Continent, affecting all countries on it.

To achieve victory, some countries openly violated international conventions and used large-scale poison mist magic.

Its effect was very significant; the destructive power of poison magic far exceeded cold weapons and conventional magic-guided weapons, easily dominating the direction of the war.

Thus, some countries blinded by profit and others pushed to the brink of despair all chose to violate international conventions.

At this time, the poison war on the Southern Underworld Continent was only considered a minor skirmish.

Although soldier casualties surged, it was still limited to the battlefield until... the appearance of the Poison Ember Witch.

Initially, people didn't know the name poison ember, only considering her a Magical Potion Master with extraordinary talent.

The poisons she concocted were varied, with countless effects, and were impossible to guard against, their potency incredibly strong!

Soon, the Poison Ember Witch became a honored guest of many monarchs, and the continuous years of war allowed her to fully utilize her advantages.

Gradually, as the Poison Ember Witch's level increased, the monarchs all began to realize something was wrong.

How could this poison... not distinguish between friend and foe?

And even more outrageous was that some of the Poison Ember Witch's poisons couldn't be cured even by her.

Sometimes, after conquering a city, it could only be directly abandoned because the poison mist above it lingered and was incurable.

Naturally, whether it was the victorious or defeated nations, everyone disliked the Poison Ember Witch.

For a time, public anger boiled over, and the situation was turbulent.

Everyone criticized the Poison Ember Witch, blaming all misfortunes and disasters on her.

To maintain their rule and appease various factions, the Poison Ember Witch was abandoned by those in power, ending in tragedy.

It is said that before her execution, the first generation Poison Ember Witch looked up to the sky and laughed madly:

"Although I die today, my path is not lonely; I will surely leave poison for ten thousand generations and extinguish all life in the world!"

The name Poison Ember Witch also came from this.

Afterward, the peace on the Southern Underworld Continent did not last long, and soon many wars erupted again.

Ironically, the various poisons left behind by the first generation Poison Ember Witch were still active on various battlefields.

Among them were those incurable poisons!

Decades later, the life forms on the Southern Underworld Continent sharply decreased by over ninety percent, and the war finally ceased.

To this day, terrifying legends of the Poison Ember Witch still circulate on the Southern Underworld Continent, and her poisons are still prevalent.

A million years have passed, and there have been dozens of generations of Poison Ember Witches, all of whom, like the first generation, directly or indirectly caused mass slaughter.

This is why the name poison ember is so infamous.

Dick now thinks that An Lei's skill in concocting aphrodisiacs is actually one of the characteristics of the Poison Ember Witch.

Because essentially, aphrodisiacs are also a type of poison; An Lei's true skill is actually in concocting poisons!
