Subscriber of the Gods Episode 71
Episode 71. Prohibition (1)
The fox was the king of this land.
Since there was no living thing that could withstand his poison, he lived happily every day.
One day, a human with a similar venom to his came in, but that human treated him better.
Sometimes he gave them delicious poison and other times he threw them prey.
That’s why the raccoon thought he would live forever as king in this world.
… …until that scary human came in.
* * *
“Keeeeeeeek!”
Frost was swirling all over the fox’s body.
“Hoooooo… … .”
Ethan was looking at the red dot on the raccoon while holding the Frostblade-Leah. He had to be careful because it was huge and level 65.
Of course, it wasn’t the fox’s attack that had to be watched out for.
‘There is a poison sac under the head. If you burst it, it won’t be recorded in the Donguibogam.’
So, I had to cut it with that poison sac. But the fox moved quickly, as if it knew that Ethan was aiming for it.
‘This won’t work.’
Ethan used the Eye of Horus. This was the first time he had used it in battle since obtaining the Eye of Horus.
‘Let’s see if it’s great this time too.’
I didn’t give it 15 likes just for educational purposes.
Shaaaaak-.
In that moment, Ethan’s eyes began to catch every movement of the fox.
‘fast.’
The quick movements of the fox were cut into small pieces and entered Ethan’s field of vision.
Bam-!
Ethan, who had seen through the movement, climbed onto the fox’s tail.
‘Every movement looks right.’
The Eye of Horus was even more effective when used in battle. Who would have thought that it could show the movements of monsters in such detail?
‘The trajectory of the movement is so clearly visible that it almost seems predictable.’
If you know how your opponent moves, you can avoid any attack.
Ethan quickly climbed up the raccoon’s body.
Wedge-!
Crunch-!
The fox’s tail danced madly and attacked Ethan, but Ethan had already seen through its movements and swung his frost sword to counterattack.
“Frost cutting.”
Phew-.
Thanks to the hero’s breath and the giant’s strength, the frost slash fiercely dug into the giant raccoon’s huge body.
“Keeeeeek!”
The fox shook its whole body.
That movement was also completely visible to Horus.
‘It’s here.’
Ethan jumped at just the right time.
He took advantage of the moment when the fox stopped moving and used his Whicus swordsmanship.
Sigh!
“Keeek!”
Ethan perfectly removed the venom sac that was hanging under the fox’s head.
“done!”
Ethan, who had removed the poison pouch, fell and opened the Donguibogam.
-The venom of the giant gross gecko is recorded in the Donguibogam!
Ethan landed and swung the Frost Sword once.
“I will kill you now.”
Now that I had the poison, there was no reason to keep him alive.
* * *
“Now I really found it.”
Ethan, wandering through the poisonous fog, discovered a house made of stone instead of wood. However, he did not move rashly, drawing on his previous experience.
“It’s not a monster.”
As I opened the door and went inside, a pungent smell of poison, worse than that outside, stung my nose.
“Keeeeeek!”
“Squeak!”
“Charuruk.”
“oh.”
The King’s hiding place was certain.
From inside, the sounds of various living creatures could be heard.
“Those are poisonous monsters.”
These weren’t just any ordinary monsters. They were extremely rare monsters, including some that were very small and looked like rats.
‘It’s a monster with a 0.25 percent chance of appearing.’
It was a monster with a deadly poison, but the probability of its appearance was extremely low.
“This guy is 0.5 percent.”
And the one next to it was a monster that appeared with a 1% chance.
Such rare monsters were filling up a large room.
“That must be why they were able to create that level of poison.”
It could have been possible to blackmail the imperial princess with that poison.
Ethan looked at the monsters with satisfaction.
“These are all poisons that can be recorded in the Donguibogam.”
To Ethan, this place was like a treasure trove.
“Is there more?”
Ethan looked around the Poison King’s hideout. Seeing those monsters gave him one more thing to look forward to.
The monster with the strongest poison ever discovered, found in the body of the Poison King.
‘Hydra.’
This hydra venom, known as the king of poisons, was in the king of poisons’ body. That means the hydra may be in the king of poisons’ hiding place.
But Hydra is a very large monster.
‘You probably only collected the Hydra venom separately. But that alone is meaningful.’
It didn’t matter if it wasn’t a real monster. If I could just get some poison, it was worth coming to this Poison King’s lair.
As Ethan wandered around, he came across a suspicious wall. Ethan immediately threw his fist at the wall.
Kwaang-!
“Is that an iron gate?”
My fist was cold, but I was still able to find the hidden place.
“Phew.”
Ethan took a breath and swung his Frostblade.
“Frost cutting.”
I used Frost Buster five times in a row.
Then the iron door froze over.
Ethan neatly sheathed his sword and this time kicked the iron door with his foot.
Clang-!
The completely frozen iron door shattered like glass.
Beyond the iron door were numerous chests of drawers.
Ethan grinned and started rummaging through his dresser.
And soon after, I was able to find a unit made of leather.
Originally, it was a leather bottle containing wine or water, containing a rattling poison.
“Yeah, of course not.”
Ethan picked up the leather bag.
“This leather bag is no ordinary leather bag, it contains hydra venom.”
The poison of the Poison King is fundamentally powerful.
In particular, Hydra venom has the power to dissolve anything even in its original liquid state.
So, it is virtually impossible to preserve it.
But there is one thing that can endure.
‘A hydra that uses poison.’
Hydra leather. This hydra leather was a piece of armor that could withstand the hydra’s venom.
“That’s a Hydra leather unit. Otherwise, there’s no way I could withstand this poison.”
‘It means you can put anything in it.’
It seemed like I could use this leather to make armor.
‘Once the poison is used up, it can be used as a defensive device.’
It was a good decision to find the Poison King’s hideout.
Ethan returned to where the monsters were gathered again.
“Be quiet and become skilled.”
Then he began to record the poisons of the monsters one by one in the Donguibogam.
-The types of poisons recorded in Donguibogam have increased!
– Your proficiency in the Heoryu Herbal Medicine has reached 50%!
-The effects of the herbal medicine are enhanced!
Skill level exceeded 50%.
Ethan’s false medicine has been strengthened.
“oh.”
Enhance the effects of herbal medicine.
It was a perfect effect for Ethan, who was currently teaching the potion making class.
Ethan took out the poisons right away.
“Now that I have this much poison, I should make a poison bomb that I can throw and run away with when the time comes.”
-Cast the Heoryu herbal medicine!
Ethan used the enhanced Heuristic Herbal Medicine.
And I could feel that the Heoryu Tangyakju was different from usual.
‘The details are different.’
The Heoryu Tangyakjutsu is helping Ethan’s hand movements. Timing is the most important thing in making potions.
If you miss the timing, it’s over.
Even if you use the same ingredients and make it in the same amount of time, the results are completely different.
‘I can smell the scent.’
Ethan was fully experiencing the enhanced effects of the Heuristic Herbal Medicine.
‘It is worth it to increase your proficiency.’
Tiring-!
-I made a poison bomb decoction!
-Rating in progress… …
-Poison Bomb Potion [B]
What was created was a B-grade poison bomb decoction. The grade was B.
‘Because it was made for offensive purposes.’
Even though it was the first time it was made for offensive purposes, it received a high grade of B.
“I now have perfect timing when making herbal medicine.”
Previously, I had been able to detect it with my senses, but now I have the assistance of skills as well as my senses.
“Something better has to come out.”
Ethan grinned and threw the poison bomb potion straight at the wall.
Boom-!
With a loud noise, the wall dissolved into the poison and collapsed.
Satisfactory results.
“You’re gaining a lot.”
But there’s still one more thing left.
“The ruins remain.”
You have to check to see if it is the temple of the moon goddess.
* * *
In the midst of prohibition.
There was a ruin-like site there.
“hmm.”
Ethan, who had reached it, looked around the ruins.
“There are already traces of people having been here.”
There were footprints, and a familiar-looking statue fragment that seemed to have been taken from inside.
“Has the Poison King already confirmed it?”
Ethan went straight inside. The inside of the temple was like a ruin, as if the Poison King had definitely come in.
Who would see this place as a temple?
However, Ethan, who had the Moon Force profession and was a descendant of the Moon Goddess, could feel it. He could feel the energy of the moon from inside him.
“Hahahahaha-!”
“It was a good thing I escaped here!”
“From now on, this place will become the base of our tribe.”
‘What? Demon?’
Ethan used his great thief’s pole to quietly enter inside.
The center of the temple.
There were demons there, with a huge statue of the Goddess of the Moon. They were monsters from the Demon World that looked like humans but preyed on humans.
‘The gate to the demon world might not have opened yet?’
The gates of the Demon World open quite some time after the fall of Ibeka Academy.
The place where it opens is the North. In the cold land of the North, a solar war takes place, and as a result, the gates of the Demon World open, and the Demons come over to this side.
‘Stopping that is one of the main quests, you know.’
I couldn’t figure out why there were demons here.
‘But one thing is certain.’
Tiring-!
-The goddess gives you a mission.
-Restore peace to the ruined Temple of the Moon.
‘Dealing with those demons is a job growth quest.’
Ethan slowly raised the Frost Sword.
[Lv 68]
The level of the demons was extremely high.
‘You can’t tell the strength of the demons just by level.’
The real reason they were scary was because of their powerful magic.
‘I guess I can just deal with it by making it so that it can’t even use magic.’
Ethan first took out the Big Frog meat he had prepared earlier from his subspace pocket and ate it.
‘Ugh.’
It tasted terrible, but I held it in and swallowed it.
Then, my gourmet traits began to burn even brighter.
Then he took in his hand the poison bomb he had prepared.
Five in total.
Wedge-!
Ethan threw a poison bomb at the demons.
Kwaaaaang-!
“What, what!?”
“What is this!”
“What kind of guy is he!”
As the five poison bombs exploded, a purple poisonous mist began to spread around in an instant. The demons could not see each other, but Ethan was not.
-The Eye of Horus activates.
“see.”
Ethan confirmed the location of the demons.
Then he took a long breath like a hero.
‘Assassinate using the extreme will of a great thief.’
This time, I thought I’d check to see how far this great thief’s extreme will would go.
If it’s suitable for assassination, it’ll be even better for various things from now on.
‘And if necessary, it’s also good for escape.’
Ethan intruded into the midst of the demons who were panicking due to the poisonous fog.
Phew-!
“Keuk… … !”
The demons were oblivious to Ethan’s movements until his sword pierced their hearts.
‘It’s not called ‘The Extreme’ for nothing.’
Ethan treated the rest of the demons in the same way with a satisfied look on his face.
To the extreme of the great thief in the eye of Horus.
“It’s useful.”
Ethan pushed the demons aside. The poisonous fog cleared, revealing the entire temple.
There were broken chairs here, probably intended for prayer.
And in the middle of it all was a giant statue.
Statue of the goddess Moonforce.
There was a sacred Moon Force there, with both hands clasped in the center of the chest as if praying.
“Someone cut off his head. Very cleanly.”
Ethan could spot the head of a statue in one corner.
“I guess it was the devil’s doing.”
Ethan turned his head back.
Tiring-!
-The Goddess of the Moon blesses you!
-The temple has been restored to its original state!
-You have cleared the linked quest!
-You have received a new linked quest!
A sparkling blue powder was sprinkled over Ethan’s head.
-Your career has grown.
-All stats are permanently increased by ’10’.
Ethan’s one star has been added to the sky.
-Compensation will be paid.
“What kind of compensation is it?”
Ethan opened the reward with anticipation.
“……uh?”
And it just froze.
