If I Survive the SSS-Rank Demon Realm with a ‘Useless’ Skill, I’ll Become the World’s Strongest Alchemist: Building a Comfortable Base and Enjoying a Fun Life in Another World with My Companions~

Chapter 16

If I can make a monster eat this highly poisonous mushroom, I’ll be able to defeat opponents stronger than myself. In that case, the deterrent effect of the smell would be lost, but it’s worth a try. This is the only weapon I’ve managed to find in a place with no swords, spears, axes, or magic. It’s a bit unreliable, but if I don’t explore every possibility, I won’t survive.

“A cave…”

I found a cave with vines hanging over its entrance. I listened carefully and then tossed the highly poisonous mushroom inside. No sound came from within.

“Seems safe inside.”

I finally felt a slight sense of relief as I entered the cave. As long as I stayed cautious near the entrance, it seemed like my life wasn’t in immediate danger. I picked up the highly poisonous mushroom I had thrown in and placed it at the cave’s entrance.

Now I could relax a little.

“Still, I can’t stay like this forever…”

So, I decided to try out the idea I had earlier. Making a monster eat the highly poisonous mushroom—it shouldn’t be a bad plan.

“But with this smell, no monster would eat it, right?”

I opened my status screen and checked if there was anything I could use.

[Decompose]

“Let’s try this…”

When I used it, the foul smell of the highly poisonous mushroom disappeared. I felt a little uneasy about losing the monster-repelling effect, but my goal was to make a monster eat it.

“What else can I use…?”

[Construct]

“This is it.”
