In a single slash, Damon completely split in half the hideous-looking monstrosity using just his right palm with a layer of blood energy coated on it. His blood energy had a slight greenish tinge now, and as soon as it touched the creature’s body, it started melting his strong carapace.
"How could you possibly have this ability?" The human face shrieked as the last bits of the monster’s health vanished completely.
"You know how." Damon simply laughed. He did not let go of the precious blood essence of such a unique creature and absorbed every last bit of it.

Damon sucked in a big breath as he stared at the many notifications flashing in front of him. Ouroboros was not a typical boss or an NPC, and it showed in the results. He had gained so much from killing the damned bastard who had tried to trick him and take over his body.
This time, the skill he had gained, Venom Generation, was not really that rare or powerful, but it did come at a good time when his blood and body were filled to the brim with poisonous shit. The skill had insane synergy with him right now, and Damon could immediately think of many useful outcomes from just this single skill.
But all of that can wait. He stared at the steps of the shrine where a few more things had clattered out of the monstrous body when Ouroboros dropped dead. He started picking them all up. The first was surprisingly two worn out looking books.
[Ding! You have acquired: Journal of Ouroboros – Volume II]
[Ding! You have acquired: Journal of Ouroboros – Volume II]
Damon chuckled as he couldn’t believe this. Even though the quest had long since disappeared and the whole thing was a scam, the poison master had still ended up dropping the original quest items.
It looked like he needed to have these in order to issue the quest in the first place.
If that was the case, then perhaps there was also...
Damon hurriedly searched the numerous things that had dropped from the guy. There were some poison sacs, some weird-looking scales possibly from snakes, some herbs, some potion bottles, some gold coins, and finally, a very ordinary-looking rock.
"Could this be?" Damon picked it up, his fingers tightening around the stone in anticipation.
[Ding! You have gained +1 Poison Affinity]

...
Damon let out a whistle as one after another notification started rolling in without pause, like a never-ending waterfall of poisonous blessings.
His arm glowed faintly green, the venom syncing with his bloodstream. Thick streams of green poison continued to leap from the lake toward him. They spiraled into his outstretched palm, coiling into his bloodstream, burrowing through his muscles and nerves like curious serpents.
Time ticked by slowly as he continued to absorb the liquid little by little. After a few minutes, Damon shook his head. This was not going to work out. He needed to speed the shit up.
He started removing the clothes and items on his body and quickly became naked. Without any hesitation, he then directly jumped into the roiling, poisonous lake.
