Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 26

Plant Hell!

It could be said to be a terrible place for someone whose job involves fighting and moving the body vigorously. The poison of plants spread in the air hardens the body and entangles the feet of living plants, interfering with their movements.

“That’s why it’s a place that everyone avoids…”

After leaving Harkrid, X reached the beginning of the plant hell.

Time could be shortened by crossing the plant hell on the way to the last village.

‘It’s a great opportunity to try heavenly cuisine!’

Plant Hell is definitely an area where it is difficult for users to be active.

However, X had a greedy plan to monopolize those areas using heavenly cuisine. X was planning to take the first step of that plan in Plant Hell in order to reach level 80, which was his goal.

“Whew. “It’s hard to breathe.”

As soon as I could breathe, my body started to sag. It seemed to be due to the unique poison emitted by plant-type monsters. X found the nearest plant-type monster.

“You have cute ears.”

Plania, a flower with tiny, blinking eyes!

Plania was level 65 and was not a very difficult opponent for X. But as expected, the problem was the surrounding environment. Sigh! A vine wrapped around X’s ankle.

“Wow! “I almost fell.”

Shock! X, barely able to maintain his balance, cut down the vine.

The moment when X showed a gap.

Plania, who had an innocent expression on her face, suddenly changed.

The guy’s eyes widened sharply.

‘I shouldn’t let down my guard just because it’s cute, right?’

Desperate wilderness!

X came to his senses and swung his sword at Plania.

Sigh! Plania suddenly turned gray.

X quickly took Plania’s loot.

“It’s a petal.”

What dish should I make with this?

Plania dropped a normal grade petal. These are the petals of the one that was emitting poison in the first place. It was questionable whether it was edible. But X had heavenly cooking.

X said after fleeing to a safe place.

“Heavenly cuisine.”

Sssssseu! The Gourmet King’s shadow guided X’s body. The shadow seemed to be thinking of brewing tea with flower petals. Bubble bubble! As the water boiled and the petals fell, X frowned.

“I don’t think I can eat it?”

A miasma spreading through water vapor!

It had a scent that made you feel like you were completely addicted to it the moment you ate it.

What if you have one doubt?

X had no choice now.

After some time had passed, the shadow of the Gourmet King disappeared.

X was skeptical and poured petal tea into a cup.

“…I don’t know.”

If you are poisoned here, you will have to completely change your plans.

It is better to sell first!

gulp! Xie’s uvula trembled.

Tiroling! A notification rang.

[The heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Ilseong Cooking Plania Concentrate’!]

[The energy of Plania, the mascot of the plant hell, is absorbed into the body!]

[You will not be attacked by plants for 60 minutes!]

[ You will not be damaged by plant poison for 60 minutes!]

[Intelligence in the plant hell will increase by 10 points for 60 minutes!]

A successful first step!

With this, activities in plant hell, which has a terrible natural environment, are freed. What he meant was that in the future, he would be able to work freely even in areas that are difficult but have infinite potential, such as plant hell.

gulp! X swallowed all of the plania concentrate.

“Shall we start off properly?”

Since it is not attacked by plants, there are no vines to hold it back.

Since you are immune to plant poisons, your body will not slow down due to poisoning.

X started hunting with a light body.

‘It would be a good idea to collect a lot of flower petals.’

Plania petals.

After boiling it for a long time to remove the poison, I was able to fully feel its unique scent.

And I was able to discover the potential of spice in that scent.

‘Well, even if it’s not enough spices, you’ll need a lot to survive in plant hell.’

In order to function smoothly, I had to drink plania concentrate once every hour.

X’s priority was to beat down the planians. X stubbornly picks only plania!

“Are these running away too?”

In the end, like the Lizardmen, the planians were scared and backed off, but X had spirit. Thing! As X released his spirit, the Planians froze.

‘It seems that spirit is only effective when used after clearly instilling fear.’

X used Haki and learned the limits of his abilities.

The only plant that froze even when it radiated energy was Plania. Other plants were moving freely despite the chaos. In the future, if the level of spirit increases, it may be able to freeze an unspecified number of people, but for now, it only seems to be effective against opponents who have a sense of fear.

“Where is this anyway?”

Thanks to the spirit, hunting became much easier.

For an hour, X killed all the planians he saw in the plant hell.

Then, without stopping, he boiled the water again. X looked around while waiting for the water to boil.

‘It looks like a Green Fairy might appear…’

Green Fairy, the named monster of Plant Hell!

A fairy who uses poison and has reached level 100. It could be said to be an unusually strong named monster compared to the levels of other monsters that appear in Plant Hell.

‘You said it only appears when balance is maintained, right?’

It also prevents the plant hell from expanding too much.

If a strong intruder appears, we can deal with it.

The Green Fairy served as the manager of Plant Hell.

The purpose of the users who occasionally entered the plant hell was mostly to become the Green Fairy.

‘Drops a natural magic skill book that is difficult to learn.’

Natural magic!

Among the NPCs that have been revealed so far, there has been no NPC that allows users to receive teachings about magic, which is beyond the mainstream and almost obsolete. Therefore, there were users who wanted to learn it, at least because it was a rare magic.

‘Still, you probably want to avoid the Green Fairy.’

Green Fairy is one of the strongest monsters among them!

No matter how many nature magic skill books were dropped, Plant Hell was very risky.

gulp! X, who had already drank the concentrated liquid, stretched.

“If you see me making a fuss, you won’t be able to show up, right?”

While we’re in the plant hell, let’s catch the Green Fairy.

puck! Burbubbuk!

X mercilessly struck down the plants seen around him.

*

Green Fairy, manager of Plant Hell!

The Green Fairy appeared in front of X around the time when X reached level 75.

Parr! A green fairy that flies around the plant hell at high speed.

“You finally showed up!”

X looked at the green fairy and smiled brightly.

Of course, it was impossible to let down one’s guard.

The Green Fairy’s level is a whopping 100. Considering the characteristics of the named monster, it could be said to be the strongest monster X has faced so far.

‘I’m glad though. By investing points in your spirit.’

X invested all the bonus points given for leveling up in Happiness.

X’s current spirit level is over 70.

Thanks to this, I was able to be quite free from the penalties given by named monsters.

“Plus, you can even get experience points!”

A difference of 26 levels!

However, thanks to X’s spirit, he was able to make up for much of the experience penalty.

X held up his sword and shield and stared at the Green Fairy.

At that moment, the Green Fairy’s antennae shook.

Kurrrrr!

The ground vibrates with a loud sound!

A thick stem rose from beneath X’s field.

X didn’t panic and took a slight step back.

Sigh! The rising stem tracked X at high speed.

‘Is this natural magic?’

Magic that starts from the ground!

It was a type of magic whose pattern was difficult to identify as it was unknown.

But doesn’t X have the power to ignore even magic?

X used his treasured treasure.

“Bear stance!”

Bear stance!

A rare morale skill that increases strength by 100% for 30 minutes and provides 100% immunity to all status effects! X was saving his bear stance for the Green Fairy who might appear at any moment.

‘Actually, most of them were one room, so there was no need to use them.’

Green Fairy was an opponent who had to do his best.

Kuddeuk! X’s muscles twitched.

Did the Green Fairy also feel an unusual energy?

Parr! His green wings shined and he used hallucination magic.

However, X is already immune to abnormal status effects. There was no way something like hallucination magic would work. Sigh! Before he knew it, the thick trunk that followed wrapped around X’s ankles, but even that wasn’t enough. Fighting! As soon as X took a step, the stem broke.

‘The time limit is 30 minutes.’

You never know what variables may appear.

I can’t relax.

widely! X kicked the plant and jumped into the sky.

Improved strength led to explosive physical ability.

The Green Fairy flapped its wings hastily, but X was much faster.

“Gotcha.”

puck! X’s sword stuck into the Green Fairy’s back.

Crispy! The Green Fairy crumbled and collapsed.

One room.

This time it was just one room.

“It’s completely turned into powder. “I feel a little sorry.”

Green Fairy turned into green powder.

Having said he was sorry, X immediately placed his hand on the green powder.

Because feeling sorry and taking care of the items were two different things.

X was startled by the emerging item information.

Skill Book: Dancing Stem (Unique)

A book imbued with nature type magic.

It is unknown what kind of power the magic has.

Limit: Intelligence 100↑

Special Effect: When used, the skill ‘Dancing Stem’ is acquired.

“…There’s nothing edible.”

In addition to the named monster, even though it received the effect of Heavenly Capture, it was a small trophy!

Tsk. After appeasing his appetite, X looked at the skill book.

“It’s a dancing stem.”

It was probably the same magic that the Green Fairy used.

I also became interested in natural magic X because I knew about its rarity.

‘It’s certainly not very powerful, but it can create a variable.’

Uncertainty that cannot be responded to!

Normal magic begins from the caster’s fingertips.

The same goes for commonly used fire magic, lightning magic, and even healing magic.

But natural magic was different.

Stems rise up from the ground.

X replayed the battle in his head.

‘If I hadn’t been in a bear stance just now…’

The moment I relaxed slightly, the stalk grabbed my ankle before I knew it. If it weren’t for the bear stance that ignores abnormal status effects, the Green Fairy would have been allowed an additional hit.

After thinking about it, X came to a conclusion.

“…Do you think this is worth investing in?”

Let’s learn!

It was a decision that could be made because it was an X whose stats rose evenly.

X’s intelligence was over 200.

With this level of intelligence, although it is not as good as the Green Fairy, it is more than enough to summon a stem that can tie the enemy’s ankles.

“I felt uncomfortable with the mana that was just sitting there.”

Moreover, X had no skills.

The only combat skills, Kalsumar Shield Skill and Bear Stance, were skills that did not use mana. Thanks to this, X had never used mana. Therefore, there was enough mana to spare.

X immediately opened the skill book.

Flash! Light poured in and a notification sounded.

[You have acquired the active skill ‘Dancing Stem’!]

X confirmed the information.

Dancing Stem (0%): Summons thick plant stems from the ground. The stem tracks and binds enemies. After successful binding, damage is inflicted to the bound enemy as time passes. (Mana consumption: 50 per second)

To what extent can this skill be used?

X rolled his head, but couldn’t decide.

In order to accurately understand the skill, its power had to be tested first.

X used a skill.

“Dancing stems!”

Kurrrrr!

“…?”

The ground shook harder than expected.

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
