I Became A Thief Who Steals Overpowered Skills

Original Doping

The Starlon students’ relentless doping kamikaze.

Thanks to that, the Starlon students managed to take down almost one full member each.

However, their opponents were also experienced with various unorthodox situations.

Realizing that the poison pellets didn’t last long, they tenaciously stalled until the Starlon students fell.

As a result, six Starlon students were sacrificed, while the somewhat accustomed Imperial faction only lost four members.

On Kraush’s side, only Haring and Kraush remained.

In contrast, Pandora’s side still had Arsoldar and one more Imperial faction member.

In the end, the numerical disadvantage shifted towards Kraush’s side, as they had hoped.

The plan was initially to bring down Kraush.

Even if they defeated Kraush like this, there was a high chance that the credit would all go to Arsoldar.

Moreover, Kraush was in full condition.

Pandora knew well about his explosive power.

‘If Arsoldar falls here…’

Pandora knew he would be beaten by the other Imperial faction forces.

Arsoldar wouldn’t care about that, but Pandora had a goal to advance into the central noble forces.

“Libra.”

Pandora looked at the Imperial faction member with long hair tied back.

His attire was peculiar, with a white scarf wrapped around him.

He was from the Latnis family, located at the very edge of the Empire among the local noble forces.

It was a region so barren that it was almost like the wilderness.

The direct descendant of the Latnis family, who lived a nomadic life there, was Libra Latnis.

“You can win, right?”

He was also the one Pandora trusted most among the local noble forces.

As always, he yawned widely and spoke while rubbing his eyes.

“Dunno.”

He never gave a definite answer.

But his skills never lied.

He leisurely walked up to the arena.

Seeing him, Kraush spoke to Haring, who was about to go up.

“That guy is pretty strong. Be careful.”

“Yeah, leave it to me.”

With that answer, Haring went up to the arena.

Even as Haring came up, Libra let out a long yawn.

Contrary to his perpetually sleepy appearance, Haring calmly looked at him, drawing two daggers.

“Begin!”

Then, the moment the referee announced the start, Haring disappeared with Invisible.

While Haring vanished, Libra continued to yawn.

“Libra, do it right!”

Pandora shouted, and Libra lazily scanned his surroundings with half-open eyes.

Invisible, where both presence and appearance completely vanish.

Even Kraush’s sixth sense couldn’t track Invisible, so there was no way Libra could find him.

At that moment, as he scratched his head, a sensation hit his side, causing him to stagger.

“Oops.”

His body staggered, and his side was slightly cut, causing blood to spatter.

It wasn’t a deep wound.

Libra had pulled back before it could penetrate deeply.

In his eyes, Haring, who had broken Invisible and thrust her dagger, was visible.

When Libra swung his sword to retaliate, Haring had already withdrawn and disappeared again using Invisible.

Libra’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The opponent was trickier than he thought.

“Hmm.”

Caressing his chin, he made a decision.

“This is troublesome.”

He rolled up his sleeve.

At that moment, chains wrapped around his arm inside the sleeve uncoiled with a clinking sound.

At the same time, Libra started spinning the chain with a weight at the end lightly.

“Whoa, Libra’s using that. Everyone back off!”

The referee student nearby ran away without looking back, and the students stepped back in fright.

And then, Libra’s chain movement began.

Bang, clang, ka-ga-ga-gang!

On the arena, the chain extended endlessly and started rampaging.

The chains began wreaking havoc in all directions, destroying the arena.

The rampage of the chains was so powerful that the impact could be felt even outside the arena.

Clang!

Naturally, Haring, who used Invisible, couldn’t dodge all the chains.

In a hurry, Haring broke Invisible, raised her aura, and deflected the chains with her dagger.

The tingling sensation in her arm showed how strong the chains were.

“Found you.”

Then the chain that had hit the dagger twisted and wrapped around Haring’s arm in an instant.

Before the startled Haring could react, Libra’s arm muscles swelled.

His aura gathered into his arm, and he immediately pulled the chain.

As a result, Haring’s body was lifted and quickly dragged towards Libra.

But Haring wasn’t ordinary either.

While being pulled, she twisted her body and threw a dagger at Libra.

Seeing the dagger fly accurately towards his head, Libra immediately turned his head.

But where he turned, Haring’s leg arrived.

Thud!

With a clearly audible sound, Libra’s head snapped back.

Haring kicked his face, leaped upward, grabbed the flying dagger, and stood in place.

Then she struck the chain with the dagger.

The poison from the dagger touched the chain, making a sizzling sound.

She intended to unravel the chain like this.

Clink!

At that moment, the chain was pulled again.

When Haring looked up, Libra was wiping the blood dripping from his nose onto his sleeve.

“It hurts.”

And with that, Libra pulled his arm again.

Haring, unable to resist the power, was once again yanked forward, her body dragged helplessly.

Haring’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Because Libra seemed too unaffected.

“You’re waiting for the poison to take effect.”

Then Libra, who had blown his nose, spoke.

“We send your family a lot of poison-related materials every time. We’re used to poison too.”

The Latnis family not only had plains but also a vast forest area.

Irain family.

So Libra, who had encountered many poison materials since childhood, was quite immune to poison.

Realizing that fact belatedly, Haring squinted her eyes.

She recognized it was a bad matchup.

“Let’s finish this quickly. I want to sleep.”

The moment he finished speaking.

Libra started wildly swinging the chain that bound Haring.

As a result, Haring’s body was dragged along with the chain, like a weight at the end of a chain, thrown towards the ground.

Boom, bang, boom!

With the sound echoing everywhere, Haring slammed into the arena floor wildly.

Spectators couldn’t bear to watch and closed their eyes tightly.

“Well done, Libra!”

Pandora shouted energetically at Libra.

With Invisible and poison sealed, it was Libra’s overwhelming victory.

He shouted joyfully and looked back at Kraush.

Now there were three left: Libra, himself, and Arsoldar.

They were formidable foes for Kraush to handle alone.

So as he wore a triumphant expression, he locked eyes with Kraush.

Even though Haring was being crushed like that, Kraush’s expression remained the same as at the start.

Noticing this, Pandora showed a moment of doubt.

“Ugh.”

Suddenly, Libra spat out blood and staggered.

Libra’s eyes widened.

His vision began to blur.

‘Is this… poison?’

Could it be that the poison he was hit with earlier was only spreading now?

Doubt filled Libra’s eyes.

He was immune to most poisons.

Since poisons generally have similar properties, any poison usable in the duel shouldn’t have affected him.

“Did you use a poison that can kill instantly in a duel?”

Libra thought it was a bit too much, and Haring stood up from the floor in her disheveled state.

Chains still bound her hands.

“I didn’t use anything like that.”

She spat the blood pooled in her mouth onto the floor and let her purple eyes gleam.

“I just used something new.”

Recently, Haring had been researching poison and curses together with Darling and Dorma.

In that process, she also learned a new poison from Dorma.

Just like Kraush was trying to create a momentary enhancement elixir using poison and curses, Haring also compounded a new poison that combined poison and curses.

Though still immature, she could only handle a few low-level curses, which greatly expanded the range of poisons.

‘I’ll become stronger too.’

In Haring’s view, Kraush would continue to grow stronger.

Though she didn’t know what his goal was, he saved her twice.

In return, she would follow Kraush.

She reached into her poison pouch.

Libra was significantly weakened by the poison curse, but he was still strong.

The chain didn’t seem to be made of ordinary materials, as it didn’t melt even with an acidic poison-coated dagger.

So she decided to change her approach.

She took out a pill called Jinchungdan from her poison pouch.

The pill temporarily amplified muscle strength during the poison’s effect.

“No, you don’t.”

Even while his vision blurred, Libra immediately lifted the chain to stop Haring from any foolhardy actions.

As a result, the weakened Haring was lifted straight into the air.

But by then, Haring had already put Jinchungdan in her mouth.

Crunch!

With the sound of the pill being crushed, Haring felt an unprecedented vitality surge within her body.

At the same time, with the instant amplification of strength, she grasped the chain with her hand mid-air.

Then she pulled the chain up from the sky.

Shwoosh!

With incredible strength, Libra, who had been on the ground, was instead pulled up by the chain and soared into the air.

Before Libra could respond, he was pulled up in an instant, his eyes widening in surprise.

Libra tried to swing his sword, but Haring’s dagger was already thrusting in at that spot.

Clang!

Libra’s sword and Haring’s dagger collided, causing Libra’s body to fling apart.

And in that moment, Haring’s leg stretched out again.

“Ah.”

Thunk!

With a short sound from Libra, Haring’s foot struck his jaw accurately.

With his head snapped back, Libra shot to the ground.

Boom!

With a resounding explosion, dust rose into the air.

Amidst the dust, Haring landed lightly.

And as the dust gradually cleared, Libra was seen sprawled out with eyes closed.

He seemed not to have fainted but was probably unable to move.

“Surrender.”

“Haring Lagrain, victory!”

As Libra declared surrender, the referee student watching from afar immediately shouted.

Haring, hearing the call, quickly turned to Kraush.

When she was young, she frequently looked to her brother for praise whenever she accomplished something.

Making eye contact with Kraush, Haring belatedly realized her subconscious action.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Kraush nodded.

“Well done.”

Hearing the praise, she felt pleased inwardly.

“You can come down now.”

With Kraush’s words, Haring turned around.

“I can still go on.”

Hearing her stubbornness, Kraush frowned slightly but let out a sigh.

He wasn’t unaware she would be like this.

“Libra, you idiot.”

At that moment, Pandora, irritated, stepped up in Libra’s place.

He was in a terrible mood, as his plan had gone awry.

Especially, he didn’t like Glen and Haring siding with them despite being Imperial people.

“Juniors, I didn’t know you, who are favored by the Empire, could be so foolish.”

While he spoke, Haring was catching her breath.

The impact from Libra’s attack and the aftereffects of Jinchungdan were starting to hit her.

“Get ready.”

She shook her head to clear her mind.

She could still go on.

At least if she could stab with the dagger once and inject the poison, Kraush would have an easier time winning.

She firmly gripped her dagger.

“Begin!”

With that signal, Haring activated Invisible.

Her vision turned blurry.

Through the hazy sight, Pandora slowly adjusted his glasses.

“And you’re trying the same trick again.”

A storm of sword dust began swirling around Pandora.
