Subscriber of the Gods Episode 41
Episode 41. Who is the culprit?
A moonlit night.
That day, the fairy, who was thirsty, headed to a nearby lake.
And there I witnessed it.
A fairy queen with beautiful wings is attacked by a human dressed in pitch-black.
-!
The fairy, who was trying to escape, was caught by the attacker.
The attacker approached the fairy, but the fairy did not move.
It was unclear whether it was due to fear or if the attacker had attacked something.
The raider put his index finger to his lips, made a gesture for silence, and sprinkled the fairy with powder.
“That, that was my last memory. Sob, what on earth is going on… … My face hurts so much right now. Did that assailant hit me like this? Why on earth is my face throbbing like this!”
Ethan made a hmm expression.
“The elder fairy here saved you. The attacker must have beaten your face pretty badly. But don’t worry, your life will be fine.”
“Oh, oh, thank you. By the way, Your Majesty, what happened to Your Majesty! Are you okay?”
Of course it was Ethan who was the fan, but he cheated without a care.
“I’m recovering now.”
“W-Who are you? The one who carried out that attack was also human… … .”
Then the elder fairy struck the fairy in the face.
“Ugh! Why, why are you doing this!”
“He is my benefactor! What nonsense can you say to my benefactor! He is the one who saved the queen and also saved you!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
“You don’t have to be sorry. Rather, I feel a little sorry.”
Ethan somehow tapped the fairy on the small of her back.
“Wasn’t that guy’s eyes green?”
“… … !”
The fairy nodded vigorously as if memories came flooding back to her at Ethan’s words.
“That’s right! That’s right! It definitely had green eyes! There was even green smoke rising from the corners of its mouth!”
This makes it certain.
“What on earth were they trying to accomplish by doing something like this? They couldn’t have just done a test.”
“Please, please wait a moment. I can’t quite remember.”
The fairy frowned.
“wait.”
As Ethan moved his hand, saliva was produced.
False acupuncture.
“I’ll put a needle in the place that makes your memory clearer.”
Pok. Pok. Pok.
Three needles entered the crown.
A small needle the size of the fairy went in and soon the fairy’s eyes opened wide.
“Oh, I remember!”
‘This acupuncture is truly top-notch.’
-Your proficiency in false acupuncture increases dramatically!
Just like the Heoryu herbal medicine, this Heoryu acupuncture also gained various abilities as one’s proficiency increased.
This acupuncture, which helps sharpen memory, is actually one of the abilities that stimulates the body’s blood and improves circulation.
‘If you make your body’s circulation natural, your memory will naturally become clearer.’
“They were shouting for something to be handed over.”
“something?”
“Location! It was the location. I was looking for where the temple was.”
“The Queen refused that?”
“It seems so, given the circumstances. He has been poisoning the Queen ever since.”
Ethan looked at the elder fairy and asked.
“Is the location of the temple known only to the Queen?”
“Yes, that’s right. This forest was originally a place to welcome those who came to the temple of the Moon Goddess. Over time, that function disappeared, but the information was passed down to the queens of the past generations.”
‘When the Queen rises, we will know the location of the temple. Then we will take care of business before the Queen rises.’
“The timing of the Queen’s fall and the forest’s rot seem to coincide perfectly. Perhaps they were trying to destroy the entire forest in order to find the temple.”
“That fucking human!”
The elder fairy, who had grasped the situation, exploded in anger.
“I’ll find him right away.”
“I’ll find him. Instead, I want you to do something else.”
“Anything else?”
“Shouldn’t we definitely get revenge on that guy?”
Ethan grinned.
“Help me do it right.”
* * *
The Fairy Forest.
Someone was walking through the decaying fairy forest.
It seemed as if it was scanning the forest here and there, and it looked very defenseless.
There was someone hiding deep in the forest watching the scene. He snapped his hand and stepped forward.
Shaaaaak-.
A great number of poisonous spirits were carried by the wind and blew towards the defenseless man.
“You weren’t my target from the beginning. I was planning to clean up this place and then slowly go kill you. Of course, it’s ridiculous for a child of a noble family to get in my way.”
The one who walked out of the darkness was the Poison King.
Green eyes had green pupils and light green smoke was rising from the corners of his mouth.
“Ethan Wickers, you noble scumbag who jumped out of a liver-belly. How could you be more stupid than to come and kill me?”
The Poison King laughed so loudly that his mouth was torn.
Every time he laughed, a foul odor spread.
“Who are you?”
Ethan asked with a frown.
The Poison King laughed even louder as he looked at Ethan.
How can you be so stiff without even knowing you’re addicted?
“You were poisoned along the entire path you took. And then you were poisoned again as you came out. You probably didn’t realize it, but you had been falling into my trap ever since you entered this forest.”
The Poison King laughed and pointed his finger.
“If you go around being stupid, that’s what’s going to happen to you. You should have carefully looked where you were going to stick your head in before sticking it in.”
“poison?”
“Yes, this is the poison I will use to destroy the world soon. I will use this poison to get what I want.”
Ethan hesitated with a frightened look on his face.
“If you kill me here… … .”
“Yes, that Count Wickers will come after me. But what can I do? You will die here in an accident. An unavoidable accident. I did not kill you.”
The Poison King waved his hand.
Then the surrounding branches and leaves began to sway.
“This poisoned forest is now under my command. Run away!”
The Poison King shouts confidently.
I thought I had completely fallen into a trap.
Ethan drew his sword toward the poisonous king.
Shaaaaak-.
It was a frost sword with pure white cold air swirling around.
“Oh! You have a good sword. It’s a shame for a local count’s son to have one.”
The Poison King licked his lips with his tongue.
“I will make sure to use it in a good place.”
Then, with greedy eyes, he pointed his finger straight at Ethan.
Then the trees near Ethan began to creak and lift their roots.
Wheeeeeeeek-!
The tree roots covered Ethan. At the same time, poisonous dust began to rain down from the leaves.
“Farewell, noble maiden.”
The Poison King bowed his head in an exaggerated manner, as if he were performing a play.
So I didn’t see it.
Ethan is smiling.
Kuguguguguguung-!
There was a loud noise. Normally, there should be no such sound.
The Poison King quickly got up.
“What is this?”
The Poison King’s eyes wavered.
The trees that were clearly rotting in the poison and had to follow his control were being purified.
“My, my poison, is being purified? What the heck is this… … .”
Shaaaaaaaaaaah-.
It was a truly beautiful sight.
The trees that were once black from poisoning are regaining their original green color.
When not just one or two, but all the trees were purified, it seemed as if the forest itself was purified.
The Poison King hardened his expression and glared at Ethan.
“What have you done!”
“decoding.”
“You’ve poisoned it? Don’t talk nonsense! I’ve already poisoned this forest! This forest is under my control!
The Poison King, who had been shouting with a frown, soon felt a sense of discomfort.
Ethan, who was already poisoned, is moving around normally.
He should have fallen fifteen more times already, but he was fine.
Rather, the gaze was intense.
“You bastard, you clearly spilled all that poison on yourself, so how are you still standing there?”
“I told you. I detoxified it. Now you can take off the title of Poison King. I can now detoxify all your poisons.”
“gibberish-!”
The Poison King shouted so loudly that the surrounding area shook. Poison was his pride. No one could detoxify his poison.
“I mixed dozens of poisons in my own way. I mixed them precisely with my outstanding brain! Analyze them? Detoxify them!? That’s nonsense! What on earth have you done!”
That’s why I couldn’t admit it.
I couldn’t accept that Ethan had really created an antidote that had detoxified the forest and even detoxified himself.
Then fairies appeared among the detoxified trees.
“It was you who did this to our queen!”
“The rotten smell is vibrating!”
“I will kill you. Even if you become a fallen fairy, I will kill you!”
Hundreds of angry fairies flew across the sky at the same time.
They created a siege net that emitted various colored lights so bright that the surroundings suddenly became bright.
“These damn bastards.”
A bubbling green mass began to boil from the Poison King’s body.
“Poison dust.”
The poison spewed out by the Poison King shot in all directions.
The poison spread into the surrounding area and poisoned the forest again.
As the poison approached the fairies forming a siege, Ethan raised his hand.
Then the fairies threw a small glass bottle.
Clang-!
As soon as the glass bottle broke, the flying poison was detoxified.
But the approaching fairies stopped in their tracks.
Because the power of the Poison King was stronger than expected.
If it weren’t for this detoxifying potion, all the fairies forming the encirclement would have died in one blow.
Then a single ray of poison, not directed at the fairies, flew towards Ethan.
Wedge-!
Ethan didn’t dodge.
Because Yeorika moved faster than that.
Yeerika spread out her curtain and blocked the poison. However, a crack appeared in the curtain and it burst through.
Clang-!
If Ethan hadn’t scattered the antidote potion later, the poison that had pierced the curtain would have poisoned Yeerika.
“after.”
Yeri’s hands trembled.
“Are you really saying that you created an antidote that can cure my poison?”
The Poison King’s eyes widened as he saw the poison being detoxified with his own two eyes.
It’s really amazing how quickly you can decipher something.
It wasn’t a lie that he had created an antidote.
“How did you do it?”
The first thing that came to mind was pure skepticism.
“Even I haven’t yet created a perfect antidote to my own poison. I’ve only greatly increased my resistance to it.”
Even the Poison King didn’t have a perfect antidote to his own poison. That’s why he was sending poison to various places to test it out.
Because even blackmail works if there is a perfect antidote.
“curious?”
As Ethan spoke as if he would tell them, the fairies simultaneously looked at Ethan.
Yereka also saw Ethan.
Of course, it would be right not to tell, but since Ethan was such an unpredictable person, I thought maybe he was really trying to tell me that he was going to kill me anyway.
But the fairies were very confused, because they did not know Ethan as well as she did.
That Poison King was so fearsome that it was difficult to measure his strength.
I will tell that person how to detoxify it.
“I will forgive you if you tell me.”
“Oh, will you have mercy on me?”
Ethan took out the Donguibogam.
“Now, everything is written in this book.”
After saying that, he threw the Donguibogam to the Poison King.
The Poison King was also smiling, as if he had never thought that he would really tell him.
“Ethan?”
Are you really going to tell me?
Yeerika looked at Ethan with a bewildered expression. The fairies also looked confused and their lights shone brightly.
But something unexpected happened.
When the Poison King tried to open the Donguibogam, the Donguibogam disappeared without a trace along with the smoke.
“This fucking kid!”
“Yeah, if you want to be loved by books, you should go to the library a lot. Like me.”
Ugh!
The Poison King exploded with anger at being fooled, but soon had to stop himself.
Because Ethan was already taking his stance.
The fresh blue sword he held was tinged with cold air.
“Okay, try to stop it.”
For a moment, the Poison King missed Ethan’s movement.
Shaak-.
The cold air continued in a straight line.
“Moon Force.”
The cold of the moon added to the frost sword, and every street Ethan walked was covered in pure white frost.
“Cough.”
The Poison King suddenly grabbed his own neck.
The Poison King was frozen without even being able to launch a counterattack.
“I, that powerful human!”
“Hey, in one blow!?”
The fairies looked at Ethan in surprise.
“Hoooooo.”
Ethan slowly let out a white breath.
It was good until I used Moon Force. As expected of a good job, the skill was quite powerful.
But there was a problem.
The recoil was considerable, perhaps because of the powerful force. For a moment, my vision flickered and my body staggered.
“this.”
Ethan fell over as he looked at the Poison King who had turned pure white.
