Vandalieu spoke somewhat lifelessly, and then the catapult loaded a large barrel this time.

And then it was launched. It drew an arc in the air… and then split into two.

「What?! Did it fail?」(Basdia)

A transparent fluid spilled from within and splashed onto the ground in front of the target.

「No, it was quite successful. That was a barrel-shaped Golem I made for spreading poison and pathogens among the enemy. After it’s launched, it splits at a certain timing and spreads its contents in front of the enemy.」(Vandalieu)

「P-poison?」(Basdia)

「Yes, poison. It only had water in it just now, though.」(Vandalieu)

Poison and pathogens could be created as long as Vandalieu had the Mana for it. He could carry out biological terrorism anywhere, anytime.

He did have to be careful not to be affected by his own poison and pathogens, however. If he was afflicted by the deadly poison and disease that was powerful enough to overcome his【Status Effect Resistance】skill, he would collapse immediately without even being able to cast any spells.

「Poison and disease… Is that alright?」(Basdia)

「It’s more of a problem of what I spread than how I spread it. The Undead and Golems will be fine, but poison and diseases will affect you and the other Ghouls, after all.」(Vandalieu)

It was a truly difficult problem to solve.

If he was planning to spread disease, it would be best to use pathogens with high infectious capacity, but it would be pointless if Basdia and the others, especially the children with weak immune systems, were to be affected by them. It would be fine if he could use【Sterilization】and【Disinfect】right away, but it was impossible to know what could happen during battle.

So then would poison be better after all? But if Vigaro and the other warriors were in the battle, it couldn’t be used.

「Maybe it will be fine if I use the same components that are in the Ghouls’ paralyzing venom? Hmm, I wonder if there are any deadly airborne diseases that are difficult to treat, highly infectious and only affect humans.」(Vandalieu)
