Subscriber of the Gods Episode 19
Episode 19. In the Land of the Dead
“Please. This is all I have. Please. Please.”
A very poor-looking man was on his knees, pleading.
The one in front of him is Heo Jun.
He looked much older than I had seen him before.
He nodded with a solemn expression, stroking his snow-white beard.
“Don’t worry.”
The man kept banging his head on the ground, repeatedly expressing his gratitude to Heo Jun.
In the room he entered was a girl with a wet cloth on her head.
With her cheeks flushed red and her occasional moans of pain, you could tell she was sick just by looking at her.
Heo Jun began making a herbal medicine by mixing various herbs.
Ethan focused on Heo Jun’s dexterity.
Perhaps because he was the author of Donguibogam, his timing when making herbal medicine was excellent.
Heo Jun, who had carefully prepared the herbal medicine, quickly wiped away the sweat.
“after!”
What was created was a herbal medicine mixed with green and black.
-I created a universal detoxifying herbal medicine [1 star]!
– An all-purpose detox herbal medicine is added to the herbal medicine recipe.
“Feed this to him for five days. Then, his illness will be cured as if he had been washed away.”
“Thank you. I really appreciate it. Hehehe.”
That was the end of the video.
A video that shows only the key points in a short and simple manner.
Ethan was very satisfied.
“So this is how you make an antidote?”
Most existing herbal medicines would increase your stats by a certain amount when consumed.
The first one-star herbal medicine I made, the beginner’s herbal medicine, was also a medicine that increased stamina.
However, the universal detoxification medicine I learned about this time was a medicine that could remove debuffs or detoxify poison.
‘No way. Is this my curse too?’
Ethan checked the information on the universal detoxification herbal medicine.
– Herbal medicine recipe
The effectiveness of detoxifying decoction varies depending on the ingredients used.
Detoxifies the body of toxins that cause harm.
“Hmm. That can’t be possible. It seems to have the effect of removing debuffs.”
The curse placed on you is one of the worst curses even within Mepan.
There’s no way such a curse can be lifted so easily.
“Still, it was reinforced very well.”
Ethan then watched the reinforcement section.
The reinforcement version was similar to the existing video.
Heo Jun came out and explained various things in person.
-As the title of the video suggests, this is about strengthening my acupuncture, herbal medicine making techniques, and detoxification.
Tiring-!
-The ability to use acupuncture and make herbal medicine has been enhanced!
-Skill level increases.
– The effects of acupuncture are enhanced! Special effects are added to the effects of the prepared herbal medicine.
‘So you can learn this way too. The content in the video wasn’t important.’
Heo Jun and Hercules. I can’t be sure because I only subscribe to those two gods, but the videos of those two gods were basically videos explaining their powers.
Whether you understand it or not, you can learn the skills by watching the video.
‘The gods with a lot of likes and subscriptions are probably explaining in this video how to use their skills well.’
Just learning it doesn’t make you a master.
You can tell by looking at the subscription reviews.
We often see reviews from subscribers around the world who say they learned the technology but were unable to use it properly, which is a problem.
That means there are many unkind gods.
“Then right away.”
Ethan started making a decoction.
There were enough materials.
There were quite a few herbs gathered from the dark forest.
Bubble bubble-.
He stirred in various herbs. The hot air spread around and gave off a foul smell, but Ethan didn’t care.
The more it smells, the better the effect.
‘I have more stamina than before.’
You can stir it for a long time.
He stirred the pot with one hand and held the Donguibogam with the other.
-The Magic Book of Consent.
When held, the effects of making herbal medicine and acupuncture increase by 1.8 times.
“Donguibogam is a magic book.”
The restrictions were a bit harsh, but the effects were as great as the restrictions.
Ethan continued to stir the medicine.
Tiring-!
-I made an [Intermediate Herbal Medicine]!
-Rating in progress… … .
-The effect of Donguibogam has been activated.
-[Intermediate Herbal Medicine] Grade B.
What was created was a B-grade intermediate herbal medicine.
‘That’s great.’
Ethan immediately checked the information on the herbal medicine.
-[Intermediate Herbal Medicine] Grade B.
A herbal medicine with a pungent odor. Its effectiveness is enhanced by its excellent preparation.
Physical abilities are enhanced for 5 minutes. [Strength +3 Stamina +3 Agility +3 Intelligence +3]
Stamina is restored.
“crazy.”
Ethan was momentarily embarrassed and swore.
A legendary herbal medicine that increases all stats by +3 for 10 minutes has been created.
It only lasted about 10 minutes, but it had an incredible effect where all stats increased by 3.
Originally, it was something that could never be made at one’s current level.
‘Buff potions are extremely difficult to make in the first place.’
Most buff potions only increase one of several stats.
There are some that occasionally give you two, but they are rare and expensive.
But this time, four numbers went up by 3 each in 5 minutes.
This was a really great effect.
‘The ingredients were pretty good, though.’
I only chose the best herbs from those I brought from the dark forest.
That’s why the effect was greater than expected.
‘If you have time, you can eat this.’
Since it also had the effect of restoring stamina, it seemed like I could just eat it and run away if I thought I was in a dangerous situation.
“This is how you write a like.”
* * *
Krrrrrr. Krrrrrr.
A horde of rotten, vibrating kobolds traversed the land of the dead.
Then, the leader at the very front stopped in his tracks and sniffed around.
“Crunch!”
And then immediately turned his head.
There was a human there. As you could tell just by looking at him, he was a weak-looking human.
“Krrrrrrung Kang!”
As the kobold roared, his subordinate kobolds began to charge at the humans.
Human, Ethan Wickers, put strength into the sword in his hand.
[lv 25]
The level floating above the heads of the Cobalts was 25.
There are twelve such cobalts in total.
Ethan frowned slightly.
The first thing I encountered as soon as I entered was a Kobold. Kobolds were dog-like monsters, but since they were humanoid, they were much more difficult to deal with than the existing beast-like monsters.
Moreover, the weapon he was holding was rusty, but it was clearly made of iron.
“It’s annoying.”
That means there was a high chance that the armor he was wearing was iron armor.
“Still, it’s worth doing.”
Ethan came to this land of the dead to find a job.
If you can’t even clear out a single pack of cobalts, you can’t even dream of getting a job.
Besides, Ethan had a good sword.
‘The Beast King’s Claw Sword. It’s time to test it out.’
Ethan focused on his breathing.
As the hero’s breath became active, vitality began to flow throughout his body.
Within moments, the monsters’ scourge and Hercules’ skills were activated, their eyes glowing.
The weaknesses of the approaching kobolds began to show.
As it was a high level monster, it had a weakness in difficult areas.
“Kurrrrrr! Kang!”
A cobalt rushed at Ethan, sticking its head in.
I swung the sword I had with all my might.
A direct confrontation had to be avoided.
If you go for a power fight, you won’t be able to defeat the kobolds whose level is much higher.
so.
visor-!
After blocking the attack, he spun around to gain speed.
“… … !”
A red dot visible on the collarbone.
Ethan stabbed a spot on the collarbone.
“Caeng!”
Then the cobalt shuddered and fell forward.
Ethan didn’t stop there, he went one step further.
“Whew.”
Once again, the hero’s breath energized my whole body.
For a moment, all the movements of the Cobalts were visible.
‘see.’
There were so many battles that it was nerve-wracking.
You can predict what your opponent’s movements mean.
Control could be seen as Ethan’s main strength.
‘It’s the effect of increasing stamina.’
You can see and predict everything with your eyes, so just follow your body.
Wedge-!
The Cobalt’s dull sword cut through the air.
Ethan aimed his sword precisely at the cobalt’s jaw.
Swish-!
This time, the kobold dies instantly with one hit.
As I quickly bent down, a sword swung at the place where I had just been standing.
‘If you aim for the vital spot three times in a row.’
Ethan stabbed the kobold in the heart with his sword, who looked dumbfounded as if he didn’t know how to dodge.
The sharpness of the claw sword easily pierced the kobold’s hide.
-One hit, one kill!
-You attacked the exact vital point!
-[Eagle Eyes] You have cleared the challenge!
-Achievement Completed! You’ve earned likes based on the difficulty of the challenge you’ve completed!
– Got ‘1’ like!
The overwhelming sight made the Cobalt Captain realize that something was wrong.
“Kyaeng! Phew, get out!”
As I gave the order in a clumsy tone, the kobolds started to run away.
‘It doesn’t matter if you miss the other one.’
But Ethan had no intention of letting it go.
He quickly charged towards the Kobold Captain, who was the last to flee.
grasp-!
‘Just catch the captain!’
The experience points given by the captain are the highest.
There was also a challenge given for killing several of these boss-level monsters.
So the captain couldn’t miss it.
Swish-. Swish-.
I walked briskly over a distance that would have been unreachable otherwise.
Then I saw the Kobold Captain running away.
The red dot was in the middle of the ridge.
Ethan aimed for that exact spot and stabbed with his sword.
Phew-!
“Caeng!”
With a groan of relief, the Cobalt Captain collapsed on the spot.
Perhaps because it was a monster with a leader status, it didn’t die right away even when its weak point was hit.
Ethan stabbed her in the weak spot several times.
Only then did the kobold leader fall, and the rest of the kobolds fled in panic.
“Phew.”
This was actually Ethan’s first solo hunt.
“It was a success.”
* * *
Ethan neatly dismantled the remains of the kobold horde.
Cobalt’s leather is surprisingly soft and has many uses, so it sells for a fairly reasonable price.
I organized the seven pieces of leather and put them into the subspace pocket.
“I don’t know if I can really get it. This time.”
Actually, I wasn’t sure.
I tried to get this job many times, but it was so difficult that I gave up many times.
‘I could have just gotten another job.’
The job I was trying to get was one of the best jobs on the market.
But not getting this job didn’t mean I couldn’t clear the mepan.
Besides, since he was an experienced player, it was more fun to get a different job to increase the difficulty.
‘That’s why I’ve been trying until now. You have to have no job to get a job. And if you don’t have a job, you have no choice but to keep giving up.’
The situation is similar to that time.
He is unemployed and, above all, he is weak.
But I couldn’t give up now.
‘If I give up, I might die this time.’
It’s a matter of life and death.
In that case, I had no choice but to take a risk and reach out.
Moreover, this time there were many strengths instead of major weaknesses.
Above all, just subscribing to the gods was a huge merit.
“You will definitely get it.”
Ethan continued to advance into the Land of the Dead.
How much did it cost?
A group of orcs appeared.
Because it was an okra from the Land of the Dead, its skin color was darker and it looked rotten and corroded here and there.
“found.”
From now on, it was real.
