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.

Salazar was sure Matthew wasn't lying. Sof 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.
Lord Voodoo couldn't escape, not when he was faced with a mighty warrior like this one. All he could do was hold
his arm up and defend himself. He paid a heavy price for that-the warrior cut his arm off. He flinched and gave
up on his escape attempt. Instead, he returned to the house.
The warrior quickly followed. Macon was waiting for Lord Voodoo inside, and thus a battle went underway.
Matthew and Salazar could hear the bangs and clangs of the fight even from where they stood. Salazar looked at
Matthew. "Should we go?" he whispered.
"Not at the moment." Matthew shook his head. "Everyone in the voodoo clan has a trick or two up their sleeves,
especially when it comes to life-or-death situations. Lord Voodoo even more so."
Salazar nodded and resumed his observation of the situation.
The battle cto a close not too long later as all noise ceased. Lord Voodoo was defeated obviously. Macon
alone was enough to take him down, but with the warrior assisting him? Lord Voodoo did not stand a chance.
Matthew and Salazar approached the battlefield. Through the window, they saw that warrior taking out a little
bottle from Lord Voodoo's pocket. He opened it and popped a few pieces of... fruit onto his hand. Crimson fruit.
An excited Macon gushed, "That's the stuff! All nine pieces of Stargulf's fruit! We got the b*stard before he could
even eat any of them!"
The warrior's eyes glinted. Happily, he nodded and tucked the bottle into his pocket.
Just then, Lord Voodoo, who was lying on the floor, roared, "Nobody steals from Lord Voodoo! Now, die!" A loud
bang then shook the house. White smoke billowed into the air and enveloped the premise. Matthew and Salazar
thought ssort of bomb was set off.
Their eyes went wide. Just when they were about to swoop in and steal the fruit, Lord Voodoo threw another
wrench in their plans. Drats. He was prepared to drag his assailants down with him.
