Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1921

Matthew and Salazar perked up. So, that's really Voodoo? They weren't lying?

The warrior leaped out into the darkness and pounced at Lord Voodoo like a panther. He tried to land a hit on the escapee, but Lord Voodoo wouldn't let that happen. He rolled away from the attack and bounced back up, tossing a handful of powder at the warrior.

The warrior had good reflexes, naturally. He took a few steps back and leaped onto the wall. He had sensed the danger posed by the powder, and he quickly whipped out a piece of black cloth to block the powder out.

Macon went with a more direct approach to defense. He simply backed into the house and slammed the door shut.

The powder rained down on the flowerbeds. The very moment it touched the flowers, they wilted and shriveled like they had gone for weeks without any water or sunlight.

Salazar's eyes went wide. "What kind of bug is that?"

"Not a bug." Matthew explained, "Poison. Eats through your skin like it's nothing. Lethal, but the powder affects everyone and everything it touches, including the user. There's no antidote, so it's usually used as a last resort. Emphasis on last."

Salazar was sure Matthew wasn't lying. Some of the powder had touched Lord Voodoo's skin, and Salazar saw the powder eating through his skin rapidly.

But Lord Voodoo wouldn't sit by idly as his poison ate away at him. He whipped out a dagger and cut off the rotten part of his skin, halting the poison's process of killing him, and then he turned to jump out of the courtyard.

However, the warrior was faster. He blocked Lord Voodoo's escape route and swung his unsheathed katana down.
