Gu Jin's eyes twitched, but she didn't panic.
"Who said I need it to go near you?" she murmured softly, her lips curving into a smirk.
Lamashtu's crimson eyes narrowed.
BOOM!
The jade bottle exploded in mid-air, releasing a thick purple mist that spread rapidly.
"Poison? Again?" Lamashtu scoffed, waving his hand to disperse the mist.
But this time…
The mist didn't disappear.
Instead, it clung to him like a shadow, swirling around him and seeping into his skin.
Lamashtu's eyes widened, his expression turning serious.
"What… is this?" he growled, feeling an unfamiliar chill crawling up his body.
Gu Jin crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly.
"Soul-Devouring Mist." Her voice was calm but filled with confidence.
Soul-Devouring Mist was a type of deadly poison that didn't just harm the body — it attacked the soul directly.
Once it entered someone's body, it would cling to their soul like a leech, slowly eating away at their strength.
Lamashtu's face darkened.
