The new skill appearing made Walker feel a slight unease while he was working on the poisons that Remey was making. It was an odd feeling because his logic could overcome it. However, he could not shake the slight skin crawling feeling that forced him to check his system to see what had just happened.

"Hmm, I have been around enough poisons to get a skill called poison sense. Remey, this might be your fault." Walker had stopped the movement of the acidic slime body and made it form a ball. He felt that his time had finished with it since he couldn\'t see any more separation between the different poisons.

"That\'s good for the future when I might have more potions that make a mist of poison around. But otherwise, wait to tell me this later and take the slime acid out of the cauldron all together in that ball you made. Remey was struggling to keep the liquid combining with such a  volatile ingredient within the cauldron. Once it was removed she could make the final combinations needed.

"Normally charcoal is used in healing!" One of healers was stunned to see that Remey had reached for a jar of ground charcoal as soon as she had seen Walker use his water manipulation and heat manipulation to take the yellow ball of acidic slime body from the potion.

"It\'s made using processes that allow it to absorb impurities. The fire that created this left a lot of spaces within it. If you look closely under a reading glass or magnifying glass you can see the structure. It\'s not that important to know why it works though." Remey mumbled the answers as if she was teaching a student. It was fairly amusing to the rest of the group since they rarely saw her act like that.

"It is used to help remove poisons too. Some of the poisons from mushrooms will easily be removed just by letting someone drink some charcoal boiled water. But here I am sure that it is taking out something that prevents the poisons from resting together." Su backed Remey up and watched as the color of brown and ugly potion was changing as the charcoal forced sediments and other impurities to condense in the bottom.

The color was changing as Remey motioned for Ignus to change the temperature lower and lower. Without missing a beat, Ventus changed her wind flow around the cauldron from getting rid of fumes to helping cool the entire thing. Remey also started using a skill to cool the cauldron before grabbing the tools she had set to the side to remove the top layer of shiny purple poison liquid from the top of the impurities.

Fifteen vials later, Remey stood tall wearing the thick leather gloves needed to protect her from the poisons she had made. "This is the poison we will use. It can absorb in to the skin of the monsters we hunted while being scentless. Without a skill like poison sense, the only thing that gives it away is color." Remey knew that she had achieved something very great. She had used all her knowledge and control to make it happen.

"That\'s so little, what will the effects be?" Ignus was a bit annoyed that he had helped to create just fifteen vials of a poison that should be able to make even him, an adult dragon weak.

"Trust me, it will mess someone up worse than a drunken bar fight." Remey was sure that this was the worst thing she had ever made. Most of the time she was proud of her potions. Yet, looking at the vials of semi clear purple liquid, she felt disgusted. Everything in her was telling her that she had made something dangerous and opposite to her beliefs overall.

\'Condensed poison potion

Using the poisons of various monsters and herbs, the condensed poison cocktail within this potion are very dangerous for anything with flesh and blood. Even golem cores may take damage if coming in direct contact with this poison.

The acidic quality used to burn away the bonding solutions was removed along with the impurities created from using it. This process condensed and made a more dangerous poison that can take root through contact rather than the air. It is safe to breathe easily around this poison.

Touching in any form will cause this poison to absorb easily in to the skin due to the oily nature that comes with it. It will cause paralysis to varying degrees, blood clotting, dizziness, swelling, and multiple other symptoms. It can only be removed by high heat and a specific antidote. It is highly recommended to have a master alchemist prepared to create such an antidote.

The effects of this potion will depend on the creature it is used on and the amount they come in to contact with. The shelf life is one month before it will degrade in to a rotting ooze that has a high potential to become a slime type monster if coming across enough natural mana.\'

Walker read everything out but the last part. He didn\'t feel that it was important to anyone that this could create a monster. He was interested though. He had never found anything that he might be able to intentionally make a monster with other than potential golems. But to make a slime all by himself? That could be interesting. Especially since he had seen the dangers that came with the system of a slime breeder.

"So?" Everyone looked at Walker for the next move.

"Only the strongest of us will poison the beasts while we set the trap. These vials will be watched over by the royal dragons. No one will touch them. They have the highest resistance to them and I will not be allowing anyone to be harmed by these poisons." Remey heard this and visibly relaxed. Having the most resistant beings watching over this danger was wise.

"I can purify this with light but not to the proper degree to fully heal the damage. It is a very dangerous poison that even I can be worried of." Rise made a point to say this which made every royal dragon respect it more.

"Good, then you will be able to guard it." Remey related even more. Knowing that even the dragons were able to protect it because of their own fears it could affect them. It meant they had full seriousness.

"What about the remnants here? We need to get rid of them too, right?" One of the healers was curious about what would happen to any remnants of the potions. The impurities had been drawn out of the poisons but surely they were still poisonous. It was a very good learning lesson for a foreign alchemy they had never seen in their lands.

"Normally yes, we would throw it away and wash it elsewhere. But we might want to burn it up instead." Remey was ready to ask Ignus to super burn this to nothing before Walker raised a hand and stopped her.

\'Crystalized poison

This is useless to anyone when it comes to using it as a poison that could hurt someone when touched, ingested, or even burned. It is a great ingredient to use to create poison steel. A forging method lost to time with a family of assassins that once specialized in forging with extremely condensed poison and metals.

The demi-human blacksmiths that created this were known as the purple shadows. They were able to create unique sharp blades made of poison steel. By doing so they never needed to carry additional poison. Unfortunately, they were rooted out after they had begun to take power from the previous king of the demi-humans. This fact was buried in history and forgotten as the generations grew.\'

"We can save this. I will make use of it in forging. I think we can ask the demi-humans about it." Walker saw some curious demi-human soldiers but didn\'t see any understanding. That was fine though. He hadn\'t said what these items would be for. Instead he stored it all away and then started to help clean things with water mana. He would not touch a thing.

"I guess we have good timing. You would not believe what I found." Gil stood tall and proud of what he had found.

"Sister and I found something better. Gil says he found the best trap but his is not like ours." Onyx was in direct competition and did not hesitate to push Gil a little. Midnight seemed to be the most mature of the three which was odd since she was normally the most childish.

"Then tell us what you have." Walker didn\'t skip a beat. He made sure to let the three explain right away while the others were already drawn in after watching the poison making process.
