574. Episode 574
“Hehe, another one is going.”
The demon watched Se-woon’s back as he headed towards the blood bath and couldn’t hold back his laughter.
The confidence that you know everything about a soup even though it’s your first time here.
The Demons often saw players who visited in this manner enter the bath and come out as corpses.
Because the soup here wasn’t something that could be overcome with confidence alone.
“Well, I already paid the deposit in advance.”
How foolish of you to pay for the bath in advance as a gift. This is confidence born of ignorance.
The demons thought so.
“Well, we’re lucky today, so maybe more customers will come. Should I prepare some soup?”
By chance, the human who just entered could have returned with some stamina left.
Even so, if you go straight into a new bath in that state, death is almost certain, but since you received the deposit regardless of whether you die or not, you have to pay for it.
It was right to prepare for the transaction of public value through the system because its regulations were strict.
“Anyway, it’s fun. I didn’t know the hole the higher-ups made would be used like this.”
This place was not originally intended for humans.
Various resistances and immunities that are naturally developed as the Demon Race rolls around in the wild and sheds blood and flesh.
This was the place where the high-ranking demons created their children to increase their resistance, immunity, and regenerative powers instead of letting them run wild.
Now that the Demon World has been conquered and all the high-ranking demons have disappeared, it has become useless, but it has somehow been transformed and is now being used by humans.
“Even so, there aren’t many people who can withstand the curse of the demon world. Hehe.”
The demons cooked a new soup.
Even if you boil it, it doesn’t mean you’re lighting it on fire.
In the first place, the reason the soup boils is not because of the heat, but because of its terrible toxicity.
What he had to do was to add his own unique curse to the existing soup and drop it into his blood.
Bugurur-
All you have to do is wait for the soup to become activated through the blood.
“I guess I’ll have to end it here for today.”
However, this was no ordinary task.
The curse he possesses is an essential force that makes up his body.
As such, the more he concentrates and expels the curse, the weaker his power becomes.
As soon as he activated one of the pots, his body’s fluorescence dimmed and he returned to his seat, looking down at the boiling pot with satisfaction.
After a while like that.
“Should we go and dig up the body?”
He stood up, picking up a harpoon-like device.
By now, the effects of the soup will have worn off, regardless of whether the player who entered the soup is dead or alive.
“Will she turn into a mummy from excessive blood loss after entering the blood bath? Or will she stagger around from anemia and collapse in front of me, begging me to cancel the next bath? Hehe.”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought about the contrast with the confident human appearance.
Anyway, since Seonhyeoltang wasn’t that far from the entrance, it was easy to find.
But, something was strange.
Something went wrong.
“… … Huh? Huh? What, where is it? Where is my blood soup?”
The bright red blood that should have been visible was not visible.
Even if the amount decreases with each role, it wouldn’t have been absorbed by humans that much.
It is impossible for it to decrease like that.
“This, human?”
There were no humans in the soup either.
Just as he was thinking, “What on earth have I done?” he felt a presence behind him and someone’s hand was placed on his shoulder.
“Keeeek!”
A demon who falls over in surprise.
Behind him stood a human whose whole body was dyed red, as if to prove that he had just been soaking in a blood bath.
He looked more sane than any human I’ve ever seen.
The human spoke as if he had become healthier rather than anemic.
“Where to next?”
* * *
The name of the new soup introduced to the demon tribe, who was so surprised by the topic of demon tribe that he was even kicking his butt, was ‘Talpi-tang’.
It was a writhing soup that seemed to be made up of hundreds of snakes rather than water.
‘This is my first time here.’
Se-un soaked himself in the bath without hesitation.
I could feel the unique, mushy texture of talpitang.
As you can see from the outside, it feels like hundreds of snakes are crawling over your skin.
But the problem with this soup wasn’t the feeling or the mood.
Slurp-
Seun’s skin began to peel off.
At that moment, the water in the soup opened its mouth like a snake and swallowed the peeled skin.
This is the power of Talpi-tang.
As its name suggests, it was a soup that had the power to remove all skin, leather, and shells from anyone who came into contact with it.
But, if this were the only thing available, no one would use the soup here.
There is only one reason why players take risks and pay public funds to soak in this bath.
– I soaked my body in the talpi-tang.

– The skin all over your body begins to peel off.
– Increases resistance to abrasions.
– Skin regeneration power increases.
This was because as the body was damaged by the power of the soup, its immunity and resistance increased accordingly.
To fully take effect, you must remain immersed in the bath until the effects wear off.
but.
‘He’s vicious again this time.’
All the soups here were made based on the Demon Race. This means that it is not a place where humans can easily survive.
Even if you grit your teeth and endure with great mental strength, if your body was weak to begin with, you could die from shock or other causes.
Seonhyeoltang, the first place Seun heard of, was also a place where if you held out without thinking, you could die from excessive bleeding.
But why did Se-Woon get out of the bloodbath unharmed?
Simple.
– The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Recovery ]
– A healing magic that heals almost all wounds at once, as the highest level of recovery magic of the White Tower.
Use magic to heal wounds.
This is originally a useless method if you have low stamina, but Se-Woon has been using the power of gluttony and has gained incredible stamina.
Honestly, I could probably survive one or two bowls of soup with my bare body without using any recovery magic.
‘But the pain can’t be erased.’
Of course, among magic, there is also magic that can erase pain.
However, this soup is not just for the body.
Even if your skin is immune to abrasions and doesn’t get scratched easily, if your mind can’t stand the pain of having your skin scratched, disharmony is bound to occur.
So, even if I received treatment, I had to keep my mind intact.
Cheeeeek!
The skin peels off and heals repeatedly.
The more this happened, the more Se-Woon had to feel excruciating pain.
‘I can bear it.’
– The skin all over your body begins to peel off.
– Increases resistance to abrasions.
– Skin regeneration power increases.
… … .
As the wound continued to heal, the soup was consumed at an increasing rate.
The water level is dropping so low that you can see it with your own eyes.
At that moment, the demon who had been spying in hiding, feeling suspicious of the fact that the blood soup had shrunk as if it had dried up, suddenly raised his head.
“What! Are you human? Are you a troll? How can a human body recover so quickly!”
“Can I not guard the entrance?”
“I can’t accept any more customers today anyway! What the heck! I can’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes!”
“This isn’t the time to be just watching. I need to prepare the next soup right away.”
“What? You’re going straight into the next bath? Most demons lose consciousness if they go into more than three baths a day?”
The demons jumped at Seun’s words.
No matter how great a demon was, there was a limit to how much he could endure.
Physically and mentally.
Of all the guests he has ever received, the highest record is eight, just shy of ten.
This also means that it is a record high, but by the general standards of the Demon Race, two times was the limit.
If we take humans as an example, it becomes even lower.
“Are you sure you’re not ready?”
“what?”
The water level of the talpitang has now dropped by half.
Thanks to the fact that it went down to Se-woon’s belly button, his upper body is now completely exposed.
At this rate, there was no guarantee that the talpi-tang would last long.
The demon, who had been looking dumbfounded at Se-woon’s provocative remark, soon spoke with the corners of his mouth drawn out.
“Kekekekeke! It’s been a while since we had a fun guest! Yes, yes. I’ll prepare as much as you want! I want to see you cling to me and beg me to stop.”
Activating the bath was quite a task even for the manager of this place, the demon.
However, he could not remain still even when provoked by humans.
Above all, I enjoyed this situation.
Most of his customers would take a long break after taking a bath, let alone one a day.
“I, on the name of Heathrow, will provide you with a soup that will satisfy you! Kekekeke!”
A battle of pride that happened unexpectedly.
The demon began to squeeze out the curse contained within his body and activate the surrounding baths.
Se-un also couldn’t stop eating the fish soup, and when the water level reached the bottom, he went into the next soup without hesitation.
– I soaked my body in hot spring water.
– The skin all over my body feels hot and burning.
– Increases resistance to burns.
– Skin regeneration power increases.
A hot spring that feels as if you are immersing yourself in lava.
I wanted to use ice magic to cool down the hot pot right away, but I had to hold back.
If I just grit my teeth and endure this moment, my body will be able to withstand any amount of heat, even without armor.
‘If I just endure it for a little longer, I won’t collapse this time even if I go to hell.’
By the time the bubbling hot pot had completely evaporated, I had entered a blue pot with frost fluttering around in it, which was a complete contrast to the hot pot.
– I soaked my body in the cold water bath.
– The skin all over the body becomes cold and frozen.
– Increases resistance to frostbite.
– Skin regeneration power increases.
My skin was not only frozen solid, it was also cracked and peeling.
Blood flows out from between the split skin and then freezes again, repeating the cycle.
Even using healing magic, there was no way to stop the cold that penetrated deep into my bones, and I felt the urge to cut off my fingers and toes right then and there.
But Seun persevered.
I gritted my teeth and endured the pain.
If present pain can reduce future pain.
If you can increase your future possibilities through your present pain.
Immediate pain is nothing.
“Mad man… … Even if a troll king who swallowed magic entered, he would probably die from shock. He endured this.”
The demon tribe, Heedro, gave up on receiving guests and was just looking at Seun from right next to the bath.
He was simply amazed by the current situation.
Because Seun’s level, both physically and mentally, has already far surpassed that of the Demon Clan.
Long ago, even when a high-ranking demon’s child came to visit, it wasn’t to this extent.
No, it wasn’t to this extent even when a high-ranking demon went in himself to check the efficacy before sending it in to his own children.
While I was lost in my thoughts for a moment, the cold air in the cold bath gradually subsided.
The overflowing cold water was now revealing its bottom.
“Where to next?”
Se-un asks what the next course is, with frost blowing from his mouth due to the aftereffects of being in the cold bath.
Watching that scene.
“Kuuuuu, this time it’s really going to be hard.”
Heathrow happily dropped his curse.
