Became the Blind Male Lead in a Reversed World

“…… Dowka..”

I’ve heard of him before. He unleashed poison into rivers and wells in many villages, causing numerous residents to die.

Also, he was an evil man who didn’t affect animals but injected poison into livestock that only affected humans, killing everyone who ate their meat.

“Pretty~ heh.”

I didn’t expect him to be a man.

Makeup and clothes that felt decadent. But it felt different from the noble Eunho.

Nangongyeon raised her eyebrows and Dowka laughed.

“Fingers. They all died. Your doing?”

“….Yes.”

“Ha ha ha! Funny, funny! How do you feel? Like that? Tormenting the weak women but how do you feel when you meet a strong one~?”

“………..”

“Don’t look at me like that. I understand too. Tormenting the weak ones is kind of fun. I’m not saying anything in particular. Yep yep. I’m grateful for the encounter..♡”

Nangongyeon felt uncomfortable but answered to stall for time.

If the opponent’s statement was true, she couldn’t win. That’s why it was to analyze the opponent and find a way to escape.

“Why is that?”

“Because you can trample on women who are intoxicated with power.”

Dowka chuckled.

“Why. Women who can’t win all despise men, don’t they? Because they’re weaker than women. Men who trample on women they thought were strong rather than weak women. heh.. I love it too much.”

“I can’t entertain these words.”

Nangongyeon found an exit and threw a smoke bomb.

Bang!

Thick smoke spread over the floor.

Zoom!

Nangongyeon fled at an incredible speed.

However, Dowka, who had surpassed her and took out his weapon, activated his skills.

《Poisonous Magic Vol. 1: The Island of Deadly Venom》

An attack that seemed to resemble the shape of a snake. Muskles contracted to their limit, and Nangung Yeonha’s spine grew cold at the thrusting attack that shot out like an arrow.

“Kagagak!”

“…A throat sword?!”

The Poisonous Mage swung a throat sword. For a moment, it seemed like an action done out of pity due to the difference in skills. Or perhaps they thought of capturing Nangung Yeonha alive and using them as a hostage.

However, the heightened sense of their body warned them that they had to avoid that black blade at all costs.

Their senses recognized it as a formidable weapon.

“Is that the Imperial Swordsmanship? heheheh, quite interesting.”

The Imperial Swordsmanship was fundamentally a sword style that relied on rank and skill, suppressing opponents.

Against opponents of a higher rank, one couldn’t use their strength properly.

The Poisonous Mage bent their knees and assumed a frog-like stance before launching themselves forward.

《Poisonous Magic Vol. 6: Toxic Downpour》

“Jjeoeong!”

Buildings collapsed around them as the place where the Poisonous Mage stood sank deeply. With the sound of the air bursting, the Poisonous Mage performed a nine-strike thrusting attack.

In addition to that, green streaks of sword aura emerged, delivering double the number of thrusting attacks.

《Imperial Swordsmanship》

Nangung Yeonha tried their best to evade all the attacks.

They refrained from blocking head-on since it felt like the sword would break. Instead, they changed the trajectory of their sword but were still hit by the simultaneous onslaught of the sword auras.

“Pyeokeuk!”

“Ugh…!”

Crash! Their house was destroyed as they were flung through the air, vomiting blood, and trying to stand up.

“…?!”

But their arm didn’t feel severed, despite the sensation. Astonished, they looked at it; their arm was still attached, although now it was unnaturally elongated.

It was paralysis poison.

“…Did you infuse the sword aura into it? Or…”

“heheheh~ How do you like it? My paralysis poison?”

“…That throat sword of yours is quite extraordinary.”

“Do you know this tree? It’s a venomous tree that knocks people down instantly upon contact. It’s called Ahjilsachomok. Familiar with it?”

They had never heard of it before. The Poisonous Mage excitedly explained with a joyous expression.

“I am a tree that has evolved to protect itself. I have an incredibly potent paralysis poison in my leaves, so even touching them will release my strength and leave you unable to move until you perish.”

“Tsk…”

Hearing those words, Nam Gungyeon moved quickly to purify the poison.

“Do you really think so?”

《Poison Magic 2nd formula: Mercury Injection》

The poison magician sprayed a sword imbued with mercury.

“I wasn’t expecting you to block eight out of nine consecutive attacks earlier. But that’s all there is to it. Even one hit will kill you~”

The mercury shot out sharply, and even a little contact would cause a fatal blow that would leave one poisoned and collapsing.

《Black Light Heavenly Thunder》

―Kwang!-

“What…?”

A sword that resembled black lightning struck the mercury and grazed the cheek of the poison magician.

“Why are you like this? So full of yourself.”

“…Hey. You have a cut on your face.”

The poison magician glared at Nam Gungyeon with anger.

―Kugugugugu…

The air felt suffocating just by breathing it in. Nam Gungyeon quickly tore his clothes and covered his nose and mouth.

Cheonma, the three saints, or other powerhouses like Ryu Cheon-hee all felt their qi escape and suffocated when they released their power. But the poison magician was a little different. It was because she spread poison through the air.

The way she destroyed her body from within was slightly different from that of transcendent or half-body realm individuals who had difficulty breathing and were oppressed by the qi.

“Let’s see how long you can hold up with just a piece of fabric covering you.”

The poison magician attacked with consecutive thrusts that surpassed the speed of sound. There were no slicing attacks.

She kept using a new technique based on the King Sword Laws.

“Persistent, aren’t you~”

《Poison Magic 8th formula: Toxic Rock Cloud》

“Ugh… hah.”

Breathing became rough, and Nam Gungyeon felt uncomfortable with the cloth wrapped around his mouth. At the same time, he couldn’t block the poison entirely with just one thin fabric.

＞’Huh… Breath’＜

＜At least it would have been preferable to have time to prepare for my martial arts.＞

＜The poison horse not only does not allow me to take the time for prep work, but it also gives me no time to regulate my energy cycle.＞

-Kang! Cawww!

With even a mere touch of the neck sword, the affected area was paralyzed and became so dangerous that the strength was released. The hardness of the tree itself was even greater to the point where it wouldn’t cut even with the sharpened steel of Yeonha.

“…..”

Amidst the blurred rite, Yeon felt poison energy wriggling to the side, but nothing happened.

What’s going on? I’m sure I did something before…

There wasn’t any special attack either. It was the same stab as earlier.

But unlike before, it felt much heavier. Even this wasn’t because there were any special techniques used, he was just getting weaker and weaker.

“Shall we end it? From now on, I’ll show you why I’m a transcendent being.”

“Poison Magic, Ohui. Sky Poison Frontal Injection.”

“………!!!!”

His tongue was paralyzed and his voice didn’t come out properly.

It cannot be stopped.

A technique that combines all of the poison magic spells from 1 to 10 that he has shown so far.

The poison was compressed, and a whirlwind began from the tip of the sword.

This time, the poison horse stood in place and stabbed at the empty air more comfortably and lightly than anyone else.

After that, the poison energy flew invisibly.

Her whole body sent a signal to avoid it. But the poison energy that had left the sword’s edge could not be seen or responded to.

“…..”

Is this the end?

“Yeon Hana. Your technique suits Chang Gung Mooae.”

“I will become a girl like the clear sky without a cloud.”

“How can you be sure, Eunho?”

“As I resemble my mother, I have done many bad things. I haven’t just been around the blue, I’ve also killed people, and I’m a woman who frequently takes out my anger on my subordinates when I feel bad.”

So how do you know that I, such a person, will become a presence like a clear sky without any blemishes?

“Why are you so sure?”

Eunho in his imagination doesn’t respond.

Other warriors say that the person they loved answered them at the end of death.

But Eunha was different.

Still, even so, Eunha didn’t despair.

He never doubted that he actually liked Eunho.

Rather…

“I… I must live to hear the answer.”

“Cheonhwang Changgung Baekseomnoi”

His whole body was purified at once, removing the invisible poison.

“What…? Until just now…”

“………”

Dokma still saw Eunha, who was still poisoned by the venom.

Although his energy was purified and circulated properly. The poisonous essence remained in his body.

But…

“He doesn’t seem to be in pain at all… It’s disgusting.”

“Tonggakhyeol”

Among the many needles Eunho had released so far, the one that had been used the most was the Tonggakhyeol, which prevented him from feeling pain.

It was a bit different from Ryu Cheon-hee, but still behind.

He succeeded in following the strongest acupuncture created by Jang Myeong-soon, who was the epitome of arrogance.

He feels no pain. He doesn’t even feel his breath quickening.

He will fight until he reaches his limit.

Dokma clenched his lips.

“…Moreover, that attack just now…”

It was completely invisible.

“You’re happy because you blocked just that one? Don’t get cocky!”

“heheheh. Your laughter doesn’t disappear when you think of a man you like. Do you have a woman you like?”

“What?”

“If so, then it’s unfortunate.”

“…You b*tch.”

“I won’t be able to meet you again after this.”

Yeon-ha looked up at the sky with leopard-like pumpkin-colored eyes.

In the midst of ominous black clouds, there was one peculiar cloud.

Its color was the same as the surrounding clouds, but it felt much more sinister.

The unseen venomous magic, Venomous Sky Formation. It was a poisonous cloud.

It seemed to be gathering the venomous energy that had spread every time it blocked an attack.

If the assumption was correct, then the Venomous Sky Formation…

“I didn’t think I would ever properly understand why I am a transcendent. I wanted to make sure by dying and telling you. While playing with your corpse.”

The Venomous Sky Formation laughed wickedly and unleashed its venomous magic.

It unleashed an aura that even the same transcendent rank would have difficulty blocking.

-Pa-ba-ba-ba-bang!!

The reason for the ease of the Venomous Sky Formation’s posture was because it was more comfortable than the posture of Venomous Magic Art 1st Form.

It could unleash attacks of unseen venoms and, moreover, even if they dodged or avoided them, they would gather in the clouds.

Once the clouds reached a certain size, they would cover the ground, leaving no chance for escape.

It was an unavoidable attack that seeped through the skin, not through the respiratory system.

However, Namgung Yeon-ha remained calm.

That did not sit well with the Venomous Sky Formation. It didn’t suddenly awaken and become a transcendent. He didn’t like her smug smile.

“Dieee!!!”

A total of thirteen strikes. The Venomous Magic Art aura was unleashed.
