It was a sign of corrosion. However, Minhyuk’s frying pan was a legendary frying pan and wouldn’t corrode that easily.
With the poison out of the way, Minhyuk hurriedly turned the frying pan and tried to catch the poison that were going to fall on the ground. Then, he quickly reached out in his food storage inventory.
“Do you have any secret weapons for cases like this?”
Rovan anxiously looked at the poisonous toad king as Minhyuk searched through his inventory. Minhyuk nodded his head solemnly as he pulled the item out of his inventory.
“Eo, eomuk……?”
Rovan looked at him with a confused expression on his face.
What Minhyuk pulled out of his inventory was some eomuk. Steaming hot eomuk!
This was something that he prepared and kept in his food storage inventory just in case he got hungry and had no time to cook something.
He swiftly placed the eomuk on the frying pan that was filled with soy sauce. He poked a piece and placed it in his mouth.
The eomuk was lightly covered with the poisonous soy sauce. Once he tasted the poisonous soy sauce, he couldn’t help but open his eyes wide. It was extremely delicious! It wasn’t too salty but the flavor was extremely savory and deep.
“…….Nim. How can you eat something like that?!”
Rovan was flabbergasted. He thought that he just pulled out some eomuk since he was hungry due to their continuous battles.
But he dipped it in poison!
On the other hand, Minhyuk was completely fine.
“Chew, chew, chew. Keuheu! Delicious!”
Contrary to what Rovan thought, Minhyuk was in awe of the poison.
Minhyuk, who was happily eating the eomuk dipped in the poisonous soy sauce, met the eyes of the poisonous toad king.
Screeech!
The poisonous toad king took a step back.
When Rovan saw this scene, he couldn’t help but feel for the poisonous toad king. It seemed like he understood what it was feeling at this moment.
‘You have never seen a person like that before, right? Yeah, me too……’
Shaken with fear, the poisonous toad king hurriedly spewed out poison to try and get rid of the man who gave it such a strange ominous feeling.
Puhaaaaaaaaaa!
The pores in its body suddenly opened widely as small poisonous beads shot out from it! The poisonous beads flew to where Minhyuk and Rovan were.
Puhaaaaaaaaack!
The flurry of swords clashed with the poisonous beads in the air and stopped it in its tracks. Minhyuk hurriedly opened his mouth to try and catch the poison that was falling on the ground.
“Slurp! Oooooooh. This is not salty so it’s delicious even if you eat it alone!”
It was quite a sight to see. Minhyuk was trying to drink up the poison that flew towards his face. Then, as he slapped the poisonous beads away, he quickly narrowed the distance between him and the poisonous toad king.
The poisonous toad king’s face was suddenly filled with dread and fear. It was slowly backing away.
Minhyuk had thought of catching it alive to extract poison from it.
Rovan looked at the poisonous toad king with pity.
When it appeared in front of them, it was filled with pride and dignity.
I am the Great Mage Rafielt’s Poisonous Toad King! I am the boss monster at the end of the Trial of the Seven Deadly Sins’ Gluttony!
However, right now the poisonous toad king was reduced to being a soy sauce extraction tool(?).
Minhyuk, who had captured the poisonous toad king and tied it with a rope, had been catching the poison that it spewed out of its mouth into his frying pan.
And in front of it, Minhyuk was singing happily.
“Hey toad, hey toad. I’ll give you a punch, you give me soy sauce. Hey toad, hey toad. I’ll give you a punch, you give me soy sauce.”
“Puhaaaaaaak!”
“Ooooooooh. Thanks!”
Minhyuk quickly repeated the action of stopping the poison that was spewed out and quickly catching the falling poison with his frying pan.
As time went by, Rovan could see that the body of the poisonous toad king was slowly getting smaller and smaller. Originally, the monster was about the size of a two-ton truck but now it was already half the size of that!
‘Huh……?’
At one point, the body of the poisonous toad king drooped. Then, notifications began to ring in Minhyuk and Rovan’s heads.

Minhyuk heard ten leveling up notifications. And it did not even end there.

He quickly clicked on the quest to check all of the information from the quest.
‘Wow……’
The mere mention of the name made his heart flutter in excitement. It seemed like the Food God had as much appetite as Minhyuk. And that person had personally made and selected five dishes for his descendants!
Minhyuk shook his head as he recalled something.
‘Ah, the Land of Gold’s map!’
This map was something that dropped from the users who ambushed him when he was in the goblin subjugation force. At that time, it was also sealed due to his level. His level had long passed the required level and he could easily check it now.
Minhyuk nodded his head.
The Land of Gold!
Once he logged out and returned to reality, he would go and investigate this matter properly.
Minhyuk immediately checked the item that he acquired.
It was none other than an epic artifact!
Minhyuk had not yet reached the level threshold so he would not be able to wear it immediately. Furthermore, the attached skill was something incredible. It was the invisibility skill. What was more surprising was that the user could attack for two seconds under the state of invisibility. And the ignore all status abnormalities meant that he would be able to ignore all of the abnormal states once he wore the artifact.
Poison, brainwashing, magic, and everything else!
It was a very good reward. And the same was true for the staff that Rovan had received.
“It, it’s an epic! Wow. Luckily it’s an informational artifact!”
The informational artifact that Rovan said was an artifact that you could check and verify even if it was sealed. Minhyuk’s Ellie’s Kitchen Knife could be regarded as an informational artifact. In other words, if you did not reach the level then you would not be able to read the information about that part.
‘I’ll use the skill points so I could master the intermediate level bandaging……!’
Minhyuk used all of the skill points that he gained from eating the poisonous soy sauce from the poisonous toad king on his intermediate level bandaging skill.
Minhyuk first checked the Material Restoration.
Minhyuk clicked on the two effects to read the detailed information about the effects.
Minhyuk smiled happily as he continued to check his intermediate blacksmithing skill. The notifications said that a special privilege was created just like the bandaging skill’s special privilege. He checked the information with a look that screams ‘Hooray!’.
‘Cooking Ingredients Appraisal.’
Minhyuk heard that there were only a few of the superior blacksmiths who had the appraisal skill. This skill could be said to be something similar to that.
“Detailed description of the cooking ingredients appraisal.”
Although he still needed to spend some more time to completely master the intermediate blacksmithing skill, he still thought that this ability would be worth it.
And finally, he also confirmed the advanced level bandaging skill.
With the bandaging skill alone, Minhyuk would be able to recover by 22% and once he used the absorption transition skill then he would recover 60% in one fell swoop. However, the only disadvantage for bandage wrapping was that he would not be able to wrap it quickly and easily especially if he was in the middle of a fight. This was the case if he was only alone. This could also be used to help another person bandage their wounds.
“Rovan-nim, you got hurt earlier?”
Minhyuk reached out to Rovan.
Even though Rovan could easily recover with his Berserker skill, he would still need to wait for the cooldown to end before he could recover completely.
He used the bandaging skill on Rovan’s arm.
“Bandage!”
Before, when he achieved the best bandage wrap there was only a 2% increase in wound recovery but it had now increased by 3% for a total of a 5% increase. In other words, the person would recover 27% of their HP.
Rovan blinked blankly as he saw his HP increase by 27% after the bandage was wrapped on his arm.
“How is it? Does it feel okay?”
Minhyuk grinned at his silly look.
At that moment…
The two of them disappeared after they answered ‘yes’ at the same time.
Minhyuk confirmed that they came back to the path where the Ares Guild had chased them once he opened his eyes.
Soon, Rovan removed the bandage that was wrapped on his wounds. It was already completely recovered. He looked confused as he moved his arm to test it out. After confirming that he had well and truly recovered, he looked straight at Minhyuk.
“Minhyuk-nim. I have a request.”
“A request?”
When he told him about a request, Minhyuk thought that he would want to ask him for Rafielt’s cape. If that was the case, then Minhyuk was prepared to give him a good deal. After all, he gave Minhyuk the thousand-year-old hasuo before. However, when he heard his request, Minhyuk thought that it was quite surprising.
“Please fight with me. Just one time.”
[Hey toad] It’s a KR children’s song about toads. The original lyrics goes: Hey toad, hey toad. I’ll give you an old house, you give me a new house. You can search for it as 두껍아. It’s quite catchy.
