‘More than I expected.’
The Boar was definitely not a boss monster fitting for the 77th floor.
It possessed a high caliber, almost reaching the level of a demigod on its own, yet it had so many subordinates.
The creatures blocking the horizon were each boss monsters, no, they were so powerful that calling them boss monsters felt inadequate.
However, Beelzebub’s gaze towards those creatures was completely different.
– Heheheh, meat. Meat! Pork!
Even though it was possession, Seun could wipe the drool from his mouth with his own will since Beelzebub didn’t have complete control.
Soon, unable to resist Beelzebub’s urging for a meal, he bent one knee and slammed both hands forcefully onto the ground.
– With the authority of Gluttony, the entire ‘Table of Gluttony’ has been designated.
– The Fangs of Gluttony are descending upon the monsters!
At that moment, even Seun, who had used the authority of Gluttony, couldn’t help but be taken aback by what followed.
Crunch!
“Kweeeeeeeek!”
The teeth that appeared when using the authority of Gluttony, no, the teeth that were incomparably larger and sharper than usual, devoured the boars.
‘Can it be used on living beings too?’
Originally, the authority of Gluttony that Seun used could only be used on beings that had already lost their lives.
Its purpose was to dispose of corpses and absorb their power to increase stats.
That was the only way to use the authority of Gluttony, but in this situation where Beelzebub was possessing him, that common sense was being easily ignored.
– Eheheheheh! Delicious! Delicious! As expected, free-range pigs are much healthier than those raised in pens?!
The Fangs of Gluttony didn’t distinguish between the living and the dead.
The boar whose knee was bitten rolled on the ground, and the boar whose tail was eaten screamed and jumped.
Only those whose heads were bitten first could lose their lives instantly without feeling pain.
“T, this can’t be! It can’t be! How can you exert such power with possession, not even a descent!”
Crunch, crunch!
Beelzebub’s meal was coming to an end.
The boars that had appeared, blocking the horizon, had already disappeared without a trace.
Only one thing remained.
The boar, which had been defiant until just now, was now sitting on its rear, trembling its front paws.
– Eheheh, you’ve fattened up nicely. See, who told you to eat such delicious things alone behind my back?
“Master always eats all the delicious things alone!”
– Of course. All the delicious things are mine, and even the not-so-delicious things are mine.
“Even the ones I brought back!”
– Of course. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine.
“Kkweeeek!”
There couldn’t be a more absurd sophistry [a clever but false argument].
However, common sense didn’t work on Beelzebub.
The Fangs of Gluttony had already devoured all of its subordinates and began to devour the Demonic Boar of Gluttony to satisfy its hunger.
Crunch!
Still, was the Demonic Boar of Gluttony of a different caliber after all?
Even the Fangs of Gluttony couldn’t pierce its rough hide in one go.
“Kkweck! Kkweck! I won’t go back! I absolutely won’t!”
– Just licking the outside is incredibly delicious!
“Kkweeeeeek!!”
The boar mustered its courage and raised its hind legs. Then, it immediately turned its body and ran in the opposite direction.
It seemed to have judged that the only way to escape Beelzebub’s jaws in the current situation was to run away.
Crunch!
“Kkweck! Please! Please!”
However, the Fangs of Gluttony didn’t let it go.
Even though it couldn’t chew and swallow it, it grabbed the boar by its tail, and the boar kicked its legs to escape, not caring whether its tail was torn off or not.
– Not a chance!
Seun, and Beelzebub, stretched out their left hand forward.
As they fully opened their fist, the mouth that was tattooed in the center of their palm opened its lips.
Just like when Baekhyun used Corpse Explosion, as Seun put strength into his hand, the wide-open mouth crossed its sharp teeth.
Crunch!
A change occurred in the boar that was trying to escape.
“Kkweeeeeeeek!!”
A mouth, vastly different from the Fangs of Gluttony that had appeared so far, appeared and bit the boar’s shoulder.
The Demonic Boar of Gluttony, possessing a caliber close to a demigod, suffered a fatal wound in a single attack and rolled on the ground.
“Kkweck! I don’t want to, I don’t want to!”
Even so, it didn’t give up on escaping. Even though one leg wasn’t working, it raised its body with the remaining three legs.
Watching that, Seun stretched out not only his left hand but both hands forward.
The mouths drawn on both palms opened wide once again.
– Where do you think you’re going!
Following that, the two palms met as if clapping.
Along with that, a mouth so large that it cast a shadow over Seun’s head appeared in front of the boar.
“Kkuik…… Iik…….”
The boar despaired and sat down on the ground. It seemed to have judged that it was impossible to escape from that mouth.
And that judgment was accurate.
Crunch.
The huge boar was swallowed in one bite.
– The ‘Demonic Boar of Gluttony’ has been devoured.
– Absorbing nutrients, all stats increase by 10.
All stats by 10.
In other words, a total of 40 stats increased.
Recently, even if the authority of Gluttony was used on ordinary monsters, the amount of stats that increased was so insignificant that it was even bothersome to use, but 40 stats increased.
It was a reminder of how powerful the Demonic Boar of Gluttony was.
– Eheheh, that’s the punishment for eating delicious things alone! Burp!
‘Ah, come to think of it……’
What happened to the demon who followed the Demonic Boar of Gluttony like its master?
Turning around, he saw that the demon was also being eaten by the Fangs of Gluttony.
Still, he was the one who mentioned fair compensation to Seun and tried to protect him from the Demonic Boar of Gluttony’s murderous intent, so he was about to cancel the authority right away.
“I will follow you soon too! I will follow you for life!!”
It seemed that he was satisfied with being swallowed by the Fangs of Gluttony, so he awkwardly lowered his hand.
– The hidden trial of the 77th floor, ‘Avici
– Calculating contribution points…….
– First dish rating: Top.
– Second dish rating: Top.
…….
– Twelfth dish rating: Extreme Top.
– Successfully hunted the Demonic Boar of Gluttony.
– You have succeeded in not only completing the trial but also perfectly clearing and closing it.
– As of this moment, the hidden trial ‘Avici
– You have achieved an achievement that exceeds the existing system limit.
– Calculating contribution points…….
‘Trial closure……’
A trial, not a dungeon, being closed.
It seemed to be because the Demonic Boar of Gluttony, which could be said to be the administrator of Avici, was defeated.
This place was not a typical trial, and from the beginning, it wasn’t even a trial to defeat the Demonic Boar of Gluttony.
Unlike other trials, the Demonic Boar of Gluttony, which could be said to be a unique monster, was defeated, and since there was no one to manage Avici anymore, it was natural for the trial to be closed.
Due to the excessive achievements created as a result, it seemed to be taking time to calculate the contribution points.
– Can I eat that too? They don’t have an owner anymore anyway! Right? Right?
“Do as you please.”
– Yippee!!
As soon as Seun’s permission was granted, the twelve dishes that were set on the table were also swallowed by the Fangs of Gluttony.
Beelzebub’s exclamations of admiration were constantly heard, as if he was extremely pleased.
Even though he might lose his divinity due to the possession, such cheers.
After all the food piled up like a mountain disappeared in less than a minute, Beelzebub muttered with satisfaction.
– Burp. Haa, I’m full. I ate really well.
“But is it okay to be possessed for this long?”
– Ah! That’s right! If I stay like this, all the food I filled up will be digested! Thank you! I ate well!
Even though he even consumed his divinity to possess him, unlike Leviathan, Beelzebub ended the possession with a thank you.
The traces of possession gradually disappeared.
The teeth of Gluttony wriggling in his palm and the oversized frock coat dragging on the floor disappeared.
Immediately after, a completely unexpected message appeared before Seun’s eyes.
– You have successfully possessed the constellation, ‘Hungry Prince’.
– The absorption rate of the beings devoured by the authority of Gluttony is further increased during possession.
– All stats increase by an additional 10.
– The authority of Gluttony is strengthened.
When Leviathan possessed him, no special message appeared, but this time, unlike before, tremendous advantages came into view.
‘Is it because of the difference in divinity?’
Leviathan was already recovering his divinity, and he squeezed out his little remaining divinity to possess Seun.
In contrast, Beelzebub effortlessly completed the possession in his own domain with overflowing divinity, didn’t he?
It seemed that the reason this message appeared was due to that difference.
‘Even if the stat increase is like that, the authority of Gluttony is strengthened.’
To be honest, the stat increase was by no means a problem to be taken lightly.
All stats increased by 10.
Combining it with the stats that increased after devouring the Demonic Boar of Gluttony, a total of 80 stats increased, which was truly an unbelievable stat increase.
‘Let’s check the authority of Gluttony later for now.’
He could see the table in front of him collapsing.
The hidden field itself was disappearing as the trial was closed.
– The calculation of contribution points has been completed.
– Due to the exceptional circumstance of closing the trial, the calculation of contribution points that would have been allocated when the trial existed in the future has been terminated.
– You will acquire the necessary contribution point allocation amount when you have perfectly cleared the hidden trial of the 77th floor, ‘Avici
– Total accumulated contribution points: 100,000,000 points
‘One hundred million points?’
The finally completed calculation of contribution points.
As a result, an enormous amount of contribution points, which was hard to believe was the reward for clearing a single trial, entered Seun.
One hundred million points.
Even if you cleared a trial in first place, it was impossible to obtain ten million points, but one hundred million points came in.
‘At this rate, I’ll be quite comfortable in the next rest area too.’
In the ninth rest area, unlike the auction house or ordinary rest areas, there were additional uses for contribution points.
In such a situation, such a large sum of money came in, so it seemed that he wouldn’t have to think about money and move around anymore.
– Due to the closure of the trial, you will acquire all the rewards that can be obtained from the hidden trial of the 77th floor, ‘Avici
– Due to the closure of the trial, you will be forcibly returned to your original location.
– Time remaining until return: 10…… 9…… 8…….
Dozens of items floated in front of Seun.
Perhaps, these were the ‘reasonable rewards for the chef’ that the Red Devil had mentioned.
Putting the confirmation on hold, the sand hell of Magolmak, which was the entrance to Avici, began to appear in Seun’s vision as he collected all the rewards.
‘First, I need to find the Eight Hot Hells.’
An unexpected harvest in Avici.
Even though he went through possession, instead of losing strength, his whole body was overflowing with power thanks to the authority of Gluttony.
So, Seun immediately set out to find the sixth of the Eight Hot Hells, the Scorching Hot Hell (焦熱地獄) [Jōnetsu Jigoku in Japanese, one of the eight hot hells in Buddhist cosmology], without hesitation.
