Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

Su Chen flew down, dispelled the illusion created by the [Shadow Dancer Ring], and reached out to pick up all the spoils of war.

[Hint: Obtained [Abyssal Illusory Leggings (Dark Gold)].]

[Hint: Obtained 2 [Abyssal Gaze Crystals (Dark Gold)].]

[Hint: Obtained the [Guide's Lantern (Dark Gold Grade)].]

[Hint: Obtained Abyssal Sludge (Rare Material) *14!]

[Hint: You have received 51306 gold coins.]

……

Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the equipment panel.

[Abyss Illusion Leggings (Dark Gold)]

[Rank: Dark Gold]

[Usage Requirements: Level 25]

【Spirit +200】

[Agility +150]

[Stamina-40]

[Additional Attribute 1: Movement Speed ​​+15%]

[Additional Attribute 2: Etherealization (Active): Upon activation, the user enters an 'Etherealization' state. While in Etherealization, the user is immune to all physical damage and can pass through non-magical physical obstacles (such as walls, ground, trees, etc.), but takes double magic damage. Duration: Maximum 120 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes.]

[Additional entry 3: Activated after [Abyssal Erosion (0/2)].]

[Additional entry 4: Activated after [Abyssal Erosion (0/4)].]

……

Looking at the attributes of this equipment, Su Chen gasped.

The attribute bonuses are already quite substantial, with 200 points of Spirit and 150 points of Agility.

It also adds an extra 15% movement speed.

But it's mostly because of this side skill.

"Immune to physical damage? And can even pass through walls?"

A thousand extremely disgusting tactics flashed through Su Chen's mind in an instant.

This is practically a supernatural skill tailor-made for him!

When encountering a melee physical-type boss, immediately apply a layer of poison to it.

Then activate the blur effect and drill into the wall, or simply burrow underground.

It couldn't hit Su Chen, and Su Chen was too lazy to hit it.

I just hid in the cover and watched it get poisoned, dealing real damage second by second, until it died from the poison.

"It's disgusting, but I like it."

Su Chen looked at the leg guards and a smile he couldn't suppress appeared on his lips.

He put the leg braces into his backpack and moved on to check the next item.

It was a lantern with an antique design and a faint purplish-black luster.

Inside the glass shade of the lantern, there was no flame burning, but rather a mass of black mist that seemed to be constantly writhing in the abyss.

【Abyss Guide's Lamp (Special Item)】

[Rank: Unknown]

[Effect: Upon use, a portal to the Abyss dimension will be randomly opened. Portal duration: 24 hours.]

[Note: The abyss gazes upon you; are you prepared to look back?]

……

Su Chen's movements suddenly stopped.

"A portal to the Abyss Dimension?!"

He stared in shock at the lantern in his hand.

In this world, the abyss is an absolute taboo.

In high school textbooks, there are only a few words about the abyss.

Without exception, they all emphasized its extreme danger, indescribable horror, and absolute tendency to destroy.

The books never taught what was actually inside the abyss.

And now, he actually holds a key in his hand that can open the gates of the abyss at any time.

This thing... feels like a Pandora's box.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Chen threw the lantern into the deepest part of his backpack.

According to the description, the location of the portal is completely random.

If you accidentally throw it right in the face of a level 200 mythical boss, wouldn't that be suicide?

It would be good to keep it as a trump card for survival or as a trap to fool people.

Finally, there were two crystals that emitted a rich, dark golden light.

[Hint: Obtained 2 [Abyssal Gaze Crystals (Dark Gold)].]

Without even looking at the attribute panel, Su Chen knew the effect of this thing.

Permanently increases Spirit by 200 points and reduces physical/magical damage by 2%.

He swallowed the two crystals with practiced ease.

[Note: Successfully using the [Abyssal Gaze Crystal (Dark Gold)] grants +200 Spirit, but permanently reduces physical/magical damage dealt and healing effects by 2%]

[Notification: Successfully used [Abyssal Gaze Crystal (Dark Gold Grade)]...]

My mental strength surged by another 400 points.

After counting all the spoils, Su Chen clapped his hands.

at this time.

With Moros's complete death, the nauseating swamp and the poisonous clouds that filled the sky had completely dissipated.

Although the environment of the Abyss Dungeon is still dark, the oppressive and suffocating feeling in the air has completely disappeared.

From behind, a series of hurried footsteps came.

"Junior Su!"

Lu Qingyan stared intently at Su Chen's forehead.

There, a very faint black skull mark was slowly disappearing into the skin.

"What is that mark?"

Her voice was filled with barely concealed anxiety.

Lin Wei and Song Xin followed closely behind.

Before Lin Wei could even catch her breath, the staff in her hand was already glowing with a dazzling white holy light.

That was the light of purification magic.

"Boss Su, we saw it all just now at the edge of the swamp."

Song Xin frowned. "Before that BOSS died, a drop of black liquid flew into your forehead, right?"

Lin Wei waved her staff, and two pure white halos fell on Su Chen.

[Note: Due to the effect of 'Purification Spell,' there are currently no abnormal statuses that can be dispelled.]

[Note: Due to the 'Dispel' effect, higher-level rule-based effects cannot be dispelled.]

Two system notifications flickered in Su Chen's eyes.

Su Chen sighed inwardly.

These women are quite observant.

He originally planned to just muddle through and make a fortune quietly.

Judging from this situation, if he doesn't get a reasonable explanation, Lin Wei will probably empty his mana bar, and Lu Qingyan might even take him directly to the Priest Academy of Sky Dome Academy.

"Alright, alright, stop wasting your energy."

Su Chen sighed helplessly, raised his hand and pressed down on Lin Wei's still-waving staff, suppressing the blinding holy light.

"It's nothing, it's a passive skill that only triggers when that guy dies, it's a forced lock-on, you can't dodge it."

"What kind of skill is it? Continuous damage? Or stat reduction?"

Lin Wei pressed on anxiously, "I'll contact my mentor as soon as I get out. She's a sixth-level priest, she'll definitely be able to dispel it..."

"No."

Su Chen shook his head and lightly traced a line in the air with his finger.

"See for yourselves."

He directly set the skull icon emanating an ominous black aura on the system panel to be visible to team members.

Swish.

A semi-transparent light curtain popped open between the four people.

The instance suddenly fell silent.

"this……"

Lin Wei's voice was hoarse, "Monsters have a chance to become Abyss-like, all attributes... doubled?!"

"And it's... permanent, and can't be dispelled."

Song Xin muttered to herself.

As top students at Sky Dome Academy, they knew all too well what these data meant.

Even a monster in a dungeon that only increases attributes by 10% is enough to wipe out a fully equipped squad.

All attributes doubled?

Su Chen carries this curse, which means that whenever he enters a dungeon, he will turn the surrounding area into hell.

No guild or team dared to accept him.

Lu Qingyan's hands trembled slightly.

An overwhelming sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

If only she were a little stronger.

If she can step up and withstand the BOSS's aggro.

in case……

In Lu Qingyan's view, all of this was due to her dereliction of duty as the team leader.

Song Xin looked at Su Chen and sighed deeply.

"Boss Su, you've paid too high a price."

Su Chen slowly raised his head.

He looked at the guilty expressions on the faces of the three people in front of him.

The atmosphere...would it be impolite of me to laugh out loud now?

Su Chen suppressed the urge to smile with great effort.

"Senior, don't make that face."

Su Chen didn't look at them, but instead turned his gaze to the portal not far away.

"Just a little curse. If the abyss wants to watch me, then let it watch to its heart's content."

He turned around, his back to the three of them.

The dark robes fluttered slightly in the cold wind, leaving them with an unfathomable and somewhat lonely silhouette.

"In this world, someone always has to bear the burden of the unreasonable things and move forward with heavy shoulders."

Su Chen tilted his head slightly, his voice low.

"Since it's come to me, I'll accept it."

"At worst, I'll walk this road alone from now on."

After saying that...

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Chen strode forward and headed straight for the teleportation portal.

As for the spoils of war, he naturally accepted them without hesitation.

Anyway, they didn't put in much effort.

And behind him.

Lu Qingyan and the other two were stunned.

A sense of admiration arose spontaneously.

Despite being cursed so severely, he remained remarkably calm.

Su Chen, what kind of person are you?
