Pitviper Gorgon's Venom

Date- 5 April 23211

Time- 04:14

Location- Southern Region, Blossom district, Sky Blossom City, Outskirts 

Under Uri's suicide bombing, it was a miracle that Anna survived with a few limbs missing and organs destroyed, she was unable to talk because she even lost her jaw and the muscles moving it. Anna was so out of it that she was barely able to keep herself conscious, let alone summon her grimoire and heal herself. If not for the goodwill of her ancestors, things could have gotten a lot worse. 

In such a miserable state Anna's body had been fused with Ann's healthy body, it was already a great stroke of luck that the fusion body was functioning with such severe wounds. Yes, it had no missing limbs, and all its organs were working fine, but that was not the state you want to participate in a fight. Still, even in its wounded state, the fusion body of Ann/Anna under the buff of the southern emperor card was higher than the level of the regular demigods, though not near the transcendent strength she got under the buff of dodecat-booster. But enough to handle someone of Lois's caliber. However, Lois's methods were tricky, so it was taking a while for the fight between them to conclude. 

*Boom* Lois perfectly aimed her sneak attack at the fusion southern emperor's center mass, so when the attack connected the fusion southern emperor was thrown off balance and crashed to the ground at a frightening speed creating a huge impact crater at the site of her crash. 

"Anna, focus, we are getting our assed kicked here," Ann yelled at Anna for falling for such a simple but effective trick of Lois's.

"You say that as if I am doing it on purpose," Anna yelled back as she commanded the fusion southern emperor's body to get up and drink a few high-grade potion's now that they had gained a little distance between them and Lois.

But Lois who was speeding towards them suddenly disappeared, then her presence could be felt in their spiritual channel, knowing what was about to happen next, Anna cussed, "Fuck, not again." 

This time Lois instantly appeared on the left side of the fusion southern emperor and was about to launch another sneak attack but stopped and immediately retreated learning that the potion in the fusion southern emperor's hand turned out to be an SSS-rank poison, Pitviper Gorgon's venom, which when comes into contact with air begins to spontaneously vaporize and spread a quarter mile radius of the surrounding area within a second. The worst part of this was the effect of the poison, petrification, the infected part will get petrified and spread to the other parts of the victim, resulting in the victim being entirely petrified within 3 seconds.

Using venom to deal with Lois's troublesome trick that mimicked instant teleportation was obviously Ann's idea but kudos to Anna for perfectly executing it. Because the venom was so potent that it would petrify the grass, trees, and other beings nearby. Fortunately for Anna the crater created after their fall was a few miles in radius, the impact was so large that all weeds in the carter and its surrounding had been wiped out or had been buried.

After the fusion southern emperor had drunk the antidote for the SSS-rank Pitviper Gorgon's venom while indicating that it was a heal potion, she took out the second potion, the venom, which unscrewed when she felt the presence of Lois in her spiritual channel, causing the venom to instantly spread into their surrounding setting a perfect venom trap for Lois. 

While drinking the antidote the fusion southern emperor created an illusion of defenselessly trying to heal themselves using potions in the eyes of Lois. Being very confident of her trick Lois ended up falling for their trap but she did not stick around, instantaneously she moved out of the venom's range but she was already infected by the venom and it was spreading across her entire body fast so she moved to her body into her spiritual channel after yelling, "Venom, seriously? You southern barbarians will stoop to any level as long you get your way don't you." 

"Ann, do you think we got her? That bitch keeps calling us barbarians, we need to put her in her place," Anna was pissed by Lois constantly calling them and the entire southern region barbarians. But she did not spare a second thought about using venom to win her battle. 

"No, she should be fine, otherwise it would be too easy," Ann felt like venom would not be that big of a deal for someone with a Legend-Grade physique to handle. As for Lois calling them a bunch of barbarians, Ann did not even bother to spare her thoughts on such obvious attempts of provocation. And then reminded Anna of their priorities, "Anna, our only priority is to guard Wyatt. As for Lois's comments, they are nothing but her provoking you, they don't change anything unless you fall for them. Got it." 

"Sure, sure, however, that monster worm wearing the dummy ring, is that Wyatt? Its soul signature doesn't match Wyatt's soul signature. Are you sure Wyatt is not up to something again?" arriving at the outskirts of the city Anna had already located the ring that she gave to her lover for his protection, a few miles away from her location. But when she checked on him she was surprised to find that the person wearing her ring was not her lover but a monster worm. 

"Remember the motel, along with changing his appearance Wyatt had transformed his entire soul signature too. I think he has created a new card that not only changes his appearance along with his soul signature. Leave it to him to create the impossible," Ann chose to believe the text sent by the boy and then advised Anna to focus on the battle, "Anna, Lois has entered her spiritual channel, which means next she can only appear at two places, first being the place where she entered her spiritual channel and second being next to us, make sure that the venom is concentrated in these two places. We need to drag this out until the field marshal arrives." 

"I hate the fact that we have to use this venom against a semi-demigod, not to mention when we are at our strongest," Anna expressed her dissatisfaction concerning the battle.

"First, Lois is not just a semi-demigod. Second, we are not at our strongest," Ann corrected Anna and then grimly spoke her mind, "Anna, I think we should start considering rehearsing fusing our minds. I agree I hate the idea of fusing our minds but I would hate it more if I was not able to perform my hundred percent when my friends and family needed it the most."
