476 Collecting A Large Assortment Of Materials

Aside from the Demonite, I had more to see, such as the three plants and the two other mushrooms. The herbs were only C Grade, while the mushrooms were B Grade and above. I can’t believe Lucifer just ate one like nothing when they’re obviously highly poisonous. He’s really a bit crazy sometimes.

[Black Shredder Herb (C Grade)]
A black plant with the shape of an octopus. It is incredibly venomous and toxic to digest, and it has a bitter and annoyingly spicy taste. It is also incredibly vicious, shaping its leaves as blades to slice anything that gets closer or touches it. It might possess some sort of Miasma within it, which it uses to nourish itself. Could be used for Alchemy, but nobody has ever tried processing it. Not poisonous as long as it is not digested, as it doesn’t emanate Miasma.

[Blood Crimson Herb (C Grade)]
A red plant with the shape of a heart. It palpitates eerily whenever it feels something getting closer, and whenever a monster tries to take a bite, a bitter and burning blood-like liquid will come out, burning the face of anything that tries to take a bite. It has a horrid taste and is highly poisonous. It possess a lot of Blood Attribute Essence.
In the past, it was rarely processed by Vampires into a special wine they seemed to love, which could even replace Blood they required to live to an extent. However, due to its rarity, it cannot be easily found and once pulled from the ground, it will die in a matter of hours unless it is somehow placed inside a space where time is stopped.

[Demonic Eye Fruit (B Grade)]
A strange and bizarre fruit that pops up from black stems inside areas with a lot of Miasma. They resemble menacing demonic eyes and have a very sweet flavor, yet they’re poisonous and can kill someone that eats more than one. It can cause hallucinations and even death by cardiac arrest. The sweetness it possess is genuine, as it has high levels of sugar. If processed and purified from its poison, it could become an incredible delicacy. However, not many have managed, and those that did had their methods lost in time.

[Black Atomic Mushroom (B Grade)]
A monstrously big Mushroom that irradiates a horrendous and poisonous smell. It is incredibly venomous to the point anybody that smells its odor for too long might pass out on the spot, and if it continues to smell it, the person might die after a few minutes. Its miasmic aura is said to possess radiation but that was merely a myth, as it was only just and horrendously strong poison gas its spores produce. The mushroom easily spreads itself by killing anything that gets closer and placing its spores over the corpse. It is said that it possesses an incredible quantity of magic, but no alchemist has ever been able to refine it due to its dangerous nature.

[Abyssal Mushroom (A Grade)]
A black mushroom with a red eye-shaped dot on top. Small and rather pocket-sized, it is a delicacy amongst Legion Ants and often planted for the very purpose of being consumed. It possess a rich amount of miasma inside, which has been slowly refined into an incredibly disgusting flavor that these monsters find delicious. It can also enhance the power of those capable of eating and digesting it, passively increasing their Magic Power and Mana capacity.

Wow, they’re all insane! I don’t really know if I could even use them, but the Crimson Herb seems like the most useful for me right now! If I could plant it in masse in a separate greenhouse back home, I could produce a special wine for Partner to replace the blood she needs to drink to an extent! It also doesn’t seem to be that poisonous, maybe if I purify it, it could end up being rather a good wine…
And the Demonic Eye Fruit is also quite interesting. Perhaps if I can manage to somehow be able to purify the poison it has and turn it into a delicious and sweet fruit, its horrid appearance might be ignored. It is also blood red inside, with an eye-shaped seed, so I might be able to plant them and somehow modify them using Purification.
I also got the Farmer Skills and Titles, I feel like with Emeraldine’s help, I could purify this fruit and makes it a staple for our village, especially because it can grow anywhere as long as there’s miasma, which I could easily feed to them by triturating Demonite into dust and putting it into the soil, or infusing miasma I produce on my own… Well, I can’t produce the highest quality, so I have no idea if that could work.
And the mushrooms seem rather interesting. I guess I could place the Atomic Mushroom around a specific area I would want to protect, so anything that gets closer runs away or dies… Well, I doubt it would be that easy though.
And lastly… Ah, that mushroom’s the one Lucifer ate! It says in the description itself that if someone is capable to actually digest it, their magic power grows a bit… I see. Maybe I could make a colony myself and give it to those that could eat it, maybe.
As I inspected the items, the delicious smell of grilled chicken meat and mole meat filled the air. This promptly made the children wake up from their nap, and even Emeraldine.
pAn,da-n0v e1 “Meat!” Takeshi said.
“Meat…” Laura said.
“Hahaha, both of you look like little zombies.” I laughed. “Did you sleep well? Right after everything ended, both of you dropped into the floor with Emeraldine. I was dead worried!”
“Oh, so we won?!” Takeshi asked with excitement.
“Indeed, we won!” I said happily.
“Ah… I am awake… Ugh, I ended falling asleep, didn’t I?” Emeraldine slowly crawled from her tent.
“Yep, time to have dinner now. We need to eat and rest for tomorrow morning. I have already sensed the dungeon’s layout, most likely the next floor is the last one. Whatever is dwelling down there, we are going to exterminate it.”
Tomorrow, this little adventure of us might finally end.
