Episode 128.
A personality gained by joining the Hydra Channel membership.
“It’s simple.”
It was very simple.
I secretly thought that the same personality called ‘Shin-sal (神殺) Poison’ would come out.
“The grade is… SS+.”
However, despite its simple name, its rank was extremely high.
It wasn’t just high, it was crazy.
Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+).
It’s the same grade.
Of course, it was a lower grade compared to the SSS grade.
But that’s just the SSS level being crazy.
SS+ never meant a low grade.
To begin with, the SSS rank is a rank given only to the strongest and best within GodTube.
SS+ is a grade comparable to the SSS grade.
For example, Hercules said:
It was said that if Hermes decided to run away, not even Hercules could catch him.
The level of Hermes’ ability was SS+.
Just by looking at this, you can tell that the SS+ grade is a high grade.
“It also depends on how you use it.”
And it wasn’t just about grades.
How do you hone that ability?
Depending on that, the power varied greatly.
Wasn’t Cho Buk-cheon’s acceleration (S-) like that?
Siwoo took inspiration from Chobukcheon’s use of acceleration (S-).
Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+) was able to evolve into an almost new ability.
In a way that extends speed beyond mere movement into the realm of cognition.
I also didn’t know how to utilize Hydra’s venom to evolve it.
A grade is simply a grade.
It wasn’t all about cutting everything.
Because reality isn’t a world where abilities are set like in a game.
anyway.
Now that you’ve learned individuality, there will be changes.
“hmm….”
Siwoo calmly checked his physical condition.
however.
“…what has changed.”
Nothing really changed.
I couldn’t tell exactly what had changed.
“The hydra’s venom was made up of gall and blood….”
That I learned the power of Hydra.
“Has my blood become toxic?”
That seemed likely.
After a moment of hesitation, Siwoo took out the wooden armor from his subspace pocket.
He took out a small needle from inside his glove and pricked his finger.
But red blood was dripping from the tip of his finger.
Siwoo brought the blood on his finger to the moru.
OK.
“…There is no change.”
There were no special phenomena.
So, the phenomenon of the molu melting and making a noise was not seen.
“Is it because your skill level is still low?”
At the same time as I wanted to.
“Or is the concept of poison different?”
The concept of poison that Hua Tuo mentioned suddenly came to mind.
The poison we commonly know.
It was generally strongly acidic.
So it had the property of melting anything it touched.
But strictly speaking, it was not a poison.
One day, Hua Tuo said:
[The poison system includes nerves, cell membranes, red blood cells, etc.]
[Something that interferes with the cellular activities or biological functions of life.]
In short, the poison had no significant physical effect.
It does not have acidic properties that can dissolve metals or anything like that.
To this, Hwa-ta added:
[In that sense, the most terrifying and powerful poison is a colorless and odorless poison.]
A poison without color, smell, or form.
It’s a poison that you can’t even tell if you’re addicted to it.
Hua Tuo said that the formless poison is the pinnacle of poison.
In that sense.
“Is that what Hydra venom is?”
When I thought about it this way, it seemed like that.
Insight (S+) also placed more possibility on this side.
But it’s not certain.
“I should check it out.”
Siwoo slowly got up from his seat.
* * *
Kim Yi-jun couldn’t understand today either.
It’s a thought that’s been on my mind a lot lately.
But today, that thought reached its peak.
“That… that, hyung.”
Kim Yi-jun asked Si-woo with a trembling expression.
Siwoo didn’t answer.
In his gaze, Siwoo was holding a Devil Doom Hound.
A hunting dog from the demon world that hunted humans in the past.
Devildom Hound.
A monster with a B+ rank.
But what.
In front of Siwoo, he was just a dog.
So it wasn’t particularly strange.
It wasn’t at all strange that Siwoo was holding the Devil Doom Hound.
however.
“Why on earth are you feeding your brother’s blood to the Devil Doom Hound?”
How on earth are we to understand this?
It was literally true.
Shiwoo was feeding his blood to the Devil Doom Hound.
“Huh? Oh, this? I need to check something.”
Siwoo answered vaguely and poured his blood into the Devil Doom Hound’s mouth.
Kiek─! Kieek!
Then, the captured Devil Doom Hound began to rebel fiercely.
but.
“Just stay still.”
Crunch!
Siwoo lightly applied force and it was gone!
Devil Doom Hound couldn’t catch Mack.
Yes, again.
A drop of blood flowed into the Devil Doom Hound’s mouth.
That moment.
Kyahrreuk harreuk!
Hehehehehehe!
The Devil Doom Hound began to growl.
No, I should say that it’s annoying…
Kyahahaha, I’m going to go out!
Even live fish on land wouldn’t be like that.
It’s literally fluttering.
It’s so annoying!!
He was expressing his raw energy with his whole body.
So, he was sublimating the terrible pain into performance art.
Is Siwoo’s blood that tasteless?
Kim Yi-jun couldn’t understand.
“Oh. So that’s the kind of poison it is.”
Siwoo nodded with great satisfaction.
and.
“……”
Kim Yi-jun still couldn’t understand.
Just standing there blankly.
“Jun-ah Lee, where did you put the herbs you collected earlier?”
Siwoo asked Kim Yijun.
Before I knew it, the Devil Doom Hound was lying on the floor, foaming at the mouth.
“……”
Kim Yi-jun didn’t know how to understand this.
Devil Doom Hound is a B+ rank monster.
A beast that is not a monster.
So, it was a beast from the demon world.
In the past, the demon world invaded Earth.
The beasts of the Demon World were generally strong.
Is it because the environment of the Demon World itself made it that way?
Or is that just the nature of monsters?
I couldn’t tell for sure, but the beasts of the demon world were strong.
Because of these characteristics, it was immune to most poisons.
The most poisonous animals on Earth.
Especially snake venom.
The beasts of the Demon World were not poisoned by such poison at all.
It was unaffected by any poison that existed on Earth.
But now.
Huh, huh…!
A Devil Doom Hound sprawled on the floor, squirming, with its mouth covered in foam.
Devil Doom Hound screaming in a language that is unclear whether it is the language of the demon world or not.
Seriously, what the… .
I had nothing to say.
“That… is stored separately over there.”
Kim Lee-jun pointed to one side with his finger.
There were unknown medicinal herbs neatly arranged there.
A dungeon is a space in a different dimension from Earth.
The dungeon was filled with medicinal herbs that were not found on Earth.
Siwoo was farming equipment materials and obtaining herbal medicine ingredients on his own through dungeon raids.
Of course, we couldn’t collect that many herbs.
Siwoo walked towards the herbs.
Then suddenly.
“Why did you put this aside?”
Siwoo asked again, pointing to one side.
Kim Yi-jun checked it and answered.
“Oh, that’s poisonous, brother. It’s a highly toxic plant that will melt your internal organs within an hour if you eat it. It wasn’t set aside, it was thrown out.”
A poisonous plant that causes hives when touched.
Naturally, it was a type that could not be used as a medicinal herb.
It was also a poisonous weed that even Kim Yi-jun could not easily handle.
Even though he had the ability to regenerate, he had no resistance to poison.
Poison could also be said to be Kim Yi-jun’s only weakness.
“I’m pretty good at poisoning people.”
So, it was Kim Lee-Jun who had studied a lot about poison.
Kim Yi-jun made a face as if to say, “Well done.”
I also felt a little excited by Siwoo’s continued praise.
But what the heck.
“Why are you throwing this away?”
Has Siwoo been saying such strange things?
“…yes?”
Kim Yi-jun was wondering something.
Why are you throwing it away?
Shouldn’t it be thrown away?
But what the heck?
“Why are you throwing away this precious thing?”
And then he strode away.
Siwoo picked up a handful of poisonous plants and made a fuss.
I put it in my mouth and started chewing!
“Tongue, bro!!”
Kim Yi-jun hurriedly ran towards Si-woo.
But gulp.
Siwoo quickly swallowed the poisonous herb.
and.
“…It’s a bit bitter?”
Bitter…?
That poisonous plant that melts your internal organs when you eat it?
Kim Yi-jun really seemed like something.
No, really.
“Are you okay? Are you feeling a little down inside?”
“Not really?”
Siwoo has been talking nonchalantly.
And it really did look okay.
So it didn’t feel like my internal organs were melting away.
No, on the contrary.
“Hey, it’s only going up by 0.02%.”
Siwoo just showed a very disappointed expression.
And then again, Ugguk.
He picked up a handful of the poisonous plant and chewed it.
Could it be because of Siwoo’s appearance?
Kim Yi-jun could be sure.
also.
“Lee Jun-ah, go over there and dig up some more poisonous weeds.”
I felt like I had to give up on understanding in this life.
* * *
Tiring!
A notification window that floats above the smartphone screen.
“I only ate poison ivy, but it’s 1.7%…”
To be exact, I ate all the poisonous plants.
A poisonous herb that will melt your internal organs within an hour.
A poisonous plant that destroys all the nerves in the body.
Poisonous plants that eat away at brain cells, etc.
All the deadly poisonous plants were eaten.
Is that why?
“Ugh. My stomach feels like it’s going to explode.”
I’m so full.
“It’s not because of the poison, but I feel like my stomach is going to burst and I’m going to die.”
I wasn’t joking, I really thought that would happen.
Siwoo let out a chuckle without realizing it.
“I’m glad I joined the Hydra Channel membership.”
Hydra’s Venom (SS+).
As expected, no poison could touch Siwoo.
“It seems like everything is purified by the Hydra’s venom.”
The poisonous weed was trying to poison Siwoo’s body, but instead he was being poisoned by Hydra’s venom.
Fighting poison with poison.
It was like removing the poison with Hydra’s venom.
anyway.
“I need to eat more poisonous plants.”
We had to start preparing for a full-scale transformation.
Although they were being collected in dungeons, there were limits.
That’s why Siwoo was looking for one person.
Right then.
Daughter.
“I’m here!”
The door to the workshop opened and Soeun came inside.
At this point, I thought it might be a tiger.
Although it looked like a lively puppy.
“So-eun, are you here?”
“Huh? Mr. Siwoo was here too?”
So-eun looked startled when she discovered Si-woo.
“What are you so surprised about?”
“No… I didn’t know Siwoo would be there.”
“I’ve been attending the workshop without fail these days.”
It’s not that I didn’t do it, I did it almost every day without fail.
None other than Orihalcon’s equipment.
As soon as Aurelian arrived, he was ready to make Siu’s equipment.
“That’s true, but….”
Soeun’s words trailed off for a moment.
And then he answered, biting his tongue lightly.
“I guess it’s because Siwoo became a popular star and it felt unfamiliar.”
“A popular star? Ah.”
The case of none other than Aurelian and Han Chae-rin.
The matter was still being talked about.
“Somehow, I feel like I’ve become more distant than before… .”
Soeun’s eyelashes slightly turned downward.
Then for a while.
“it’s nothing.”
Soeun waved her hand as if to ask what he was talking about.
Siwoo said that to Soeun.
“You should go far away. You shouldn’t go far away from So-eun. Even now, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Please?”
“yes.”
“What is that?!”
Then, suddenly, So-eun pushed her face in.
Close enough to feel each other’s breath.
As expected, So-eun said, “Ah!”
“Just say anything!”
You didn’t back down?
Soeun’s appearance without any shame at all.
Siwoo was embarrassed by that bold appearance.
Siwoo said, taking a half step back.
“If you are looking for herbs, could you please get these for me as well?”
Siwoo took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Soeun.
Soeun quickly accepted it and checked its contents.
“Petals, angel’s trumpets, hollyhocks, pinwheels, fireflies, aster…”
As she read down the list, So-eun’s expression became more and more confused.
It was almost as if he was asking, “Why this…?”
“Are these all poisonous plants?”
As expected, So-eun asked Si-woo.
“What on earth are you going to use these poisonous plants for?”
“hmm….”
Siwoo was at a loss as to how to answer this.
Actually, there was no reason to hide it.
But I was at a loss as to how to explain it.
If I had to say… .
“It’s a clinical trial.”
“……to?”
Soeun’s head tilted to the left.
That makes sense, since it’s a clinical trial, as Siwoo said.
I think I remember hearing it once…
But then and now.
“…Huh?”
It was something I still couldn’t understand.
