The corners of his lips curled slightly upward, but as he turned back to the crowd, they quickly returned to normal.
"The person before you," he declared, gesturing proudly, "Is an important member of my guild. A powerful mage with a wonderful talent."
He paused, letting anticipation build in the silence.
"His talent… is to completely negate the effects of poison!"
The moment the words dropped, the crowd erupted again.
"No way!"
"Poison negation?!"
"That's broken!"
"We're actually gonna win this!"
Some of the new players practically bounced with excitement.
Even those who had looked unsure moments ago now leaned forward with widened eyes.
"How's he gonna do that?"
"Is it like an aura?"
"Wait, if he can completely negate, does that mean we can actually fight inside the boss zone?!"
"I thought this thing was impossible to kill!"
Viren said nothing, only standing firm with both arms folded over his chest, letting the crowd soak in his presence.
