Chapter 609: Is it Bichor or is it Bichon?
‘But it’s already been hundreds of years.’
Bichor recalled his past as he watched Minhyuk move to clear another trial.
‘I don’t even remember them now.’
Bichor could not even remember when he made a name for himself in the continent. His arrogance, which banked on his genius, knew no bounds. It was to the point that he even challenged the ‘God of Creation’ to make the strongest and greatest trap in existence.
But that was a mistake. Bichor’s trap had not been pushed back even when placed against the God of Creation’s trap. Instead, the trap that the God of Creation had made had something that was distinctly different from his trap.
The reason why Bichor challenged the God of Creation was so he could become a ‘Continental God’. He wanted to gain the name of ‘God of Traps’. So, the question was, why did Bichor lose, even though he produced results that were similar to the God of Creation? After the bet was over, the Gods bitterly imparted these words to him…
‘Foolish human, your trap is a tool made only for killing.’
‘From what we have heard, your traps have killed millions. You do not deserve to be a God.’
‘We cannot recognize someone that talks proudly about a tool that kills others.’
That was right. Bichor had overlooked one thing. A trap was a ‘weapon’.
The trap that the God of Creation made was not for killing, but for ‘protecting’. That was not the case for Bichor’s trap; his traps were made only to kill. If someone fell into his traps, they would either die from being stabbed with spears all over their body, or their lungs rotting.
On the other hand, the traps created by the God of Creation would only neutralize the opponents and send them back. Yes. Even though Bichor was considered as a legendary figure, he was also seen as the devil that took away the lives of countless people, and broke apart many families.
After losing the bet, Bichor received his punishment from the God of Creation. He turned Bichor into a puppy and made him the administrator of the Abyss. It was a punishment that Bichor could not escape from. To be exact…
‘I have to cut my own life to get out of this punishment.’
Bichor brushed his fur as he watched Minhyuk start the next trial, ‘I deserve this punishment.’
In this place, Bichor created trials, traps and various things that were related to the Gods of the Abyss. He only realized after a hundred or two hundred years had passed that his arrogance had cost the lives of many. He regretted this fact. But no matter what he did, there was no way for the dead to come back to life.
After realizing that fact, Bichor was left in so much pain to the point that he wished that he could die. He cried for days on end, wallowing in regret as he recalled everything that he did in the past. And yet…
‘I have been too foolish…’
…he could not bring himself to end his own life. He lived this hideous life as a ‘bichon’ that walked on two legs. Just like that hundreds of years passed and here he was now.
‘I have to repent for my sins here forever,’ Bichor thought, smiling bitterly. At the very least, today had been a very fun day. It had been hundreds of years since Bichor last talked to an interesting human.
“Fufufufufufu. Human, that jokbal was really delicious. It felt like I had a meal that was prepared by the God of Cooking herself. Every time my beautiful tongue and the jokbal touched, it felt like I was being kissed by the Goddess of Beauty. It gives an ecstatic feeling.”
“…”
Minhyuk sighed loudly as he looked at Bichor, who was sporting a ‘disgusting’ look on his face, “Phew…”
The sigh was very telling. One could definitely feel all of the thoughts that were running through his head from that sigh. Bichor looked at Minhyuk in doubt.
Minhyuk, who had heard Bichor’s entire story, thought, ‘Maybe the reason why they made him into a bichon was because of the way he talks?’
It was plausible.
Finally, the Third Gate’s challenge began. Minhyuk had to achieve an 80% or higher attack completion rate in this trial.
[Abyss.]
[You have challenged the Third Gate.]
[You need to achieve 80% or higher attack completion rate in the Third Gate.]
“Fufufufufufu. Weak human. The Third Gate’s trial is to destroy the God of Farming’s ingredients.”
At the same time, a grand spectacle unfolded in front of Minhyuk and Bichor’s eyes. The place was magnificently filled with countless unique crops. There was a radish that was around two meters in height, shining like a diamond. The green onions were so long and thick that they looked like rebars. There were even countless ingredients that dug deep into the earth.
“Many humans have challenged the God of Farming Arma’s ingredients. However, most of them failed to acquire even one of Arma’s ingredients. Do you know the reason? It’s because they did not qualify in the first place. Fufufufufu…” Bichor laughed deeply. He felt that Minhyuk should not have challenged the 80% or more attack completion rate.
‘God of Farming Arma could only collect those rare and unique ingredients because of high DEX.’
Bichor was aware of how ridiculously high God of Farming Arma’s DEX was. In fact, there was a high chance that Arma had an even higher DEX than the God of Blacksmiths.
“Because of that, your task is to destroy them and not harvest them. But even so, it is still hard to break those ingredients.”
These ingredients were original and unique, and it would be almost impossible for ordinary beings to break them. But the Third Gate could only be completed if those ingredients were destroyed.
Meanwhile, Minhyuk’s body started trembling, “…What? Destroy the ingredients? What kind of blasphemy is that?”
Of course, it was a feat that did not exist in Minhyuk’s reality. But Bichor did not know that and could only shake his head at Minhyuk.
“These are ingredients that even the other Gods could not harvest. The only way for you to complete this Gate is to destroy five ingredients,” Bichor said, chuckling deeply. Then, a timer appeared in the air as he pushed the button to start the time, “You only have three minutes at most. Fufufufufu. But in those three minutes, you will only be able to get one…?”
Bichor suddenly stopped talking, his head tilting to the side in confusion. This was because Minhyuk just walked up to the green onion, grabbed it and pulled it out easily.
[You have acquired the God of Farming’s Sword-like Green Onions.]
[You have gained 2 DEX.]
“…?”
Bichor was very astonished. To be honest, Minhyuk looked like he had just pulled out the Excalibur, and was the rightful owner of the green onion.
‘What? Is it a coincidence? No. It’s not a coincidence…’
With that as the catalyst, Minhyuk began to harvest one ingredient after the other.
“Hiiiiiing…?”
And the ingredients that he harvested?
[You have acquired the God of Farming’s Diamond Radish.]
[You have gained 1 DEX.]
[You have acquired the God of Farming’s Steel-like Lotus Roots.]
[You have gained 2 DEX.]
“Instead of destroying them, we should just go and harvest these ingredients. Let’s go!!! Oh…! My STR stat will increase by +2 just by eating this lotus roots? Ah! Eating this carrot will permanently increase my STM by +2!!!”
Bichor felt his tail shrink as he watched Minhyuk pull the ingredients one after the other. The moment Minhyuk harvested the final ingredient, the notifications rang in his ears.
[Abyss.]
[You have successfully cleared the Third Trial of the God of Farming with shocking results!]
[You have acquired a +5 increase in all five of your basic stats!]
[You have achieved a 95% attack completion rate!]
[Rewards will be given based on your phenomenal attack completion rate.]
[You have acquired 1,000 platinum.]
[Because of your phenomenal attack completion rate, you will be able to acquire an additional 1,000 platinum.]
[You have acquired the God of Farming’s ‘Power of a Benevolent Farmer’ Parchment.]
“Wahahahahahaha!” Minhyuk laughed loudly, just like a pure and naive child.
Bichor, who was still reeling from shock, looked at Minhyuk and thought differently, ‘I had fun creating traps that would kill others. But this man feels happiness with just food and ingredients.’
On top of that, the man in front of Bichor was also someone with considerable power.
‘How can I feel this happy and good just by looking at him?’
Only then did Bichor realize that he was wagging his white and round tail vigorously! He immediately stopped his tail from moving.
Minhyuk immediately moved to the next trial.
“Fufufu. The Fourth Gate’s Trial is to reach the door and pass through God of Animals Ideo’s beasts.”
Minhyuk was truly a shocking person to those who did not know him. He had already reached the Fourth Gate in such a short amount of time. In front of him, hundreds of Ideo’s predators appeared.
Minhyuk was fully aware of how strong Ideo’s beasts were. After all, he witnessed how they fought against God of Snakes Elizabeth’s army. What did he do? He started cooking for these beasts.
“You might have been able to seduce humans with food but you’re doing the same with beasts?” Bichor mocked Minhyuk but he could not even take his eyes off of him.
A happy smile would always appear on Minhyuk’s face whenever he started cooking. Even as the veins on his thick forearms would bulge from exertion, and sweat would drip down his body, a delighted smile would always appear on his face whenever he cooked.
‘If I was someone like him then…’
Bichor found himself thinking. Would he become a person that would truly be recorded in history? If he had made traps for the sake of others, instead of traps made to kill, then would a statue of him have been already made somewhere?
Tears suddenly started to well up in Bichor’s eyes as the memories of the past flashed in his head.
‘Perhaps he’s that strong because he’s on a completely different path from mine?’
The tears started to drip down his cheeks. Bichor truly wanted to get out of this god-awful place. As long as he could get a chance. No, if the Gods just give him one more chance, then he would live his life with different values and beliefs.
However, that was impossible. That was why Bichor was crying. He cried because he met a very ‘cool’ human that made him feel happy and delighted just by looking at him.
Meanwhile, Minhyuk began to haphazardly throw the dishes that he made among the beasts.
“Grrrrrrrr!”
“Roaaaaaaar!”
The scent of the meat enticed the beasts, their feet bringing them to the source. And Minhyuk? He continued to throw the meat as he walked among them.
Minhyuk’s voice rang in the ears of the crying Bichor, “Bichon. I heard your story earlier.”
Bichor turned to look at Minhyuk’s back. In Bichor’s eyes, Minhyuk looked very cool as he walked through the gaps of the beasts, his mouth opening slightly as tears continued to drip down his face.
“You told me just now that you wanted to become a trap specialist that makes traps to protect others and not make traps to kill, right?”
“…”
Bichor did not answer Minhyuk. Why did he ask that?
Minhyuk continued to say, “Why do you think I took the challenge of getting more than 80% attack completion rate for three consecutive gates?”
Of course, Bichor did not know. Why did the human take on such a challenge?
Minhyuk reached the vicinity of the door in no time at all. As he took one step after another, gentleness and warmth in his voice as he said, “Bichon, I will be able to make a wish to the Gods once I achieve more than 80% attack completion rate in three gates.”
Finally, Minhyuk\'s feet reached the door. Once he arrived, he turned to look at Bichor with a gentle smile on his face and said, “My wish is for Bichor, who has fully repented for the sins that he committed, to be able to escape from the Abyss.”
At that moment…
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—
A bright and blinding light fell on Bichor’s body.
[The Gods of the Abyss has fulfilled Minhyuk’s wish after he achieved at least 80% of the attack completion rate in three consecutive gates!]
[You will now be able to leave the Abyss and go anywhere that you want to go to.]
Minhyuk called out, “Bichor.”
Meanwhile, Bichor just looked at Minhyuk in complete disbelief as tears continued to gush out of his eyes. In the end, the strength in Bichor’s legs left him and his entire body collapsed to the ground.
“Will you come with me?”
Bichor looked at Minhyuk for a long time before answering, “For you and for the people that are precious to you…”
Bichor grinned, revealing his white canines. However, tears were still dripping down his face.
“I vow to make traps that will protect you.”
[Bichor swears his eternal loyalty to you!]
It was at this moment that the greatest trap specialist vowed to follow Minhyuk.
