Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1355 - 561: Poison of Dark Element

"Sort of interesting..."

Watching Zhao Yue emit a white light like a light bulb and dispel all the surrounding dark fog, Wang Tao felt that whether or not a light system Awakening or Ability was powerful, it was certainly very impressive in showing off.

Ge Fuxing and others all looked at Zhao Yue with admiration, while Zhao Yue had a calm and collected face, as if he was used to it.

"Impressive!"

Wang Tao praised.

He could also dispel the black fog, but he relied on his dark series Awakening Ability, which allowed him to control the fog. Meanwhile, Zhao Yue purely used light to force the fog away...

So... does the light system counter the dark system?

Wang Tao silently noted this point.

"Just a small trick, not worth mentioning."

Hearing Wang Tao’s praise, Zhao Yue’s expression remained calm, as if he was in a state that was neither overly joyful nor overly sorrowful.

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows slightly but didn’t say much more and certainly didn’t reveal his own dark Ability, as showing off was not something he concerned himself with.

Ge Fuxing was also very familiar with the mall and led everyone quickly through the darkness.

Although the others trusted Zhao Yue, they were still somewhat nervous since the range that Zhao Yue could clear the black fog was limited, and they were afraid of any monsters attacking from the darkness.

Wang Tao’s Mental Detection was constantly monitoring the surroundings, but so far, no zombies or monsters had been detected.

"It should be a solitary monster..."

In thought, Ge Fuxing led everyone to the staircase entrance.

The mall was large, with six floors above ground and three below. The monster was on Sublevel Three.

The stairway to Sublevel One was dark as pitch, the dark fog inside even thicker, and even though Zhao Yue lit it up like a bulb, it was still pitch black, like a giant mouth ready to swallow them all at any moment.

"It feels so cold..."

Ge Fuxing rubbed his face.

Others were beginning to feel a bit cold too.

Wang Tao knew it wasn’t a drop in temperature but rather the high concentration of the Dark Attribute. Those without a Dark Awakening or low Dark Attribute Defense would feel cold. Wang Tao himself didn’t feel cold; instead, he felt quite comfortable...

Wang Tao looked at the two people and one dog beside him; Jiang Shixue didn’t care about temperature as her body resembled a zombie’s, utterly cold-resistant. Lightning wasn’t afraid either; it was a Mutant Beast and its constitution differed from that of humans.

As for Lan Yulian, although she was a normal human, unlike Ge Fuxing and others who had ascended to Level 5 through shortcuts, she was a true Level 5. Although there seemed to be no difference in Attributes, her physical constitution was stronger, so there was also not much effect on her.

Zhao Yue could feel the dense Dark Attribute fog at the entrance, and finally, his usually impassive face frowned.

"Mr. Zhao, what’s wrong?"

Wang Tao noticed Zhao Yue’s change in expression and immediately asked.

Zhao Yue glanced at Wang Tao and then explained,

"These black fogs have increased quite a bit from when I left..."

The others were already feeling a bit cold, and upon hearing Zhao Yue’s words, they suddenly felt even colder.

"Could there be unexpected occurrences in this operation?"

Everyone quickly shook their heads; impossible, absolutely impossible! With Zhao Yue and Wang Tao, these two top experts here, how could there be unexpected incidents?

"Don’t worry, with me here, these black fogs won’t affect everyone."

Zhao Yue saw that people might be worried, reassured them, and then took the lead into the stairs.

Everyone hurriedly followed, not daring to lag behind.

The dark fog inside the stairs was thick enough, but the fog on Sublevel One was even thicker.

The most direct feeling everyone had was that they felt even colder, and the white light on Zhao Yue had weakened quite a bit...

But fortunately, there were no monsters on this level, and everyone proceeded cautiously to the stairs of Sublevel Two.

"Hiss..."

Standing at the entrance to Sublevel Two, a cold wind suddenly blew, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably.

So cold!

This feeling was like when they were weak long ago and first arrived in a land of ice and snow, where the cold wind cut to the bone!

If they had to fight in this environment, it felt like they wouldn’t be able to perform their full strength!

Wang Tao looked at Ge Fuxing and others, and he saw a status appearing above their [Health bars]—[Poison of Dark Element].

"Eh?"

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

[Poison of Dark Element: the Dark Element is too concentrated, the body can’t bear it, falling into a weakened state (weakness 20%), disappears after leaving the Dark Element range]

"Poison of Dark Element..."

This was the first time Wang Tao had seen this situation; those Level 5s like Ge Fuxing had a [Poison of Dark Element] and were weakened by 20%, while the Fourth-order Awakeners were weakened by 40%!

There were no Ability Users in this operation, only Awakeners; if there had been Ability Users here, they probably would have been weakened even more.

Zhao Yue did not have the "Poison of Dark Element" above his head, obviously, his Light Attribute Awakening was working.

Then, Wang Tao looked at Lan Yulian; she also had a [Poison of Dark Element] above her head, but she was only weakened by 10%. As for Jiang Shixue and Lightning, although they weren’t afraid of cold, they too had [Poison of Dark Element], but only a 5% weakening...

"Right, what about my own?"

Wang Tao finally looked at his own attributes and then his eyes widened.

[Status: Dark Element Amplification]

[Dark Element Amplification: Dark Element is overly concentrated, the body receives a certain enhancement (Dark Attribute Attack +10%), disappears after leaving the Dark Element range]

"Eh? There’s even an enhancement?"

Wang Tao was quite surprised. Not only was he not weakened, but he had also received an enhancement.
