Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Golden Cup of Greed, Death

"Is this your Ability? Group hypnosis? How long does the Effect last?"

Seraphina Sullivan quickly scanned for the most likely spot where the Stegosaurus would open its mouth, whispering her question.

Chet Lucius was also looking for the best spot to administer the poison. He replied quickly, "It’s area-of-effect hypnosis. It’s more effective on a single large target.

As long as it’s not hit with a severe physical attack or a mental disturbance of the same Level, it should last for at least half an hour."

"Half an hour. That’s enough."

Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes lit up.

That was plenty of time for them to get to work.

The two of them quickly found the ideal position.

The beast’s head was lying on its side. Its massive mouth was open just a crack, revealing a cavernous maw and teeth like stone pillars. The foul, fishy stench was even stronger now.

Chet Lucius held the poison bottle, getting ready to find an angle to pour it in.

But Seraphina Sullivan suddenly stopped and reached out, lightly touching the skin on the Stegosaurus’s ankle, which felt like the armor on a tank.

It was hard and cold to the touch, with a strange pulsation of Energy.

’I wonder if this monster’s meat... is edible?

If it is, just eating it seems like a pretty good way to solve the problem...’

Seraphina Sullivan muttered to herself. It seemed her professional instincts were kicking in, as she was actually considering it as an ingredient.

Hearing this, Chet Lucius, who was standing beside her, nearly dropped the poison bottle in shock.

He turned his head and looked at Seraphina Sullivan as if she were the monster, hissing in a low voice, "Miss Sullivan, is this really the time to be discussing recipes?

We have to hurry!

Once this thing wakes up, it won’t be us thinking about eating it—it’ll be thinking about chewing us up for a snack!"

Seraphina Sullivan pouted and pulled her hand back. "Alright, alright, I’m coming."

She quickly approached the Stegosaurus’s head. With a thought, she activated her Skill again!

This time, she wasn’t conjuring an offensive poison, but a massive amount of high-efficiency, high-potency [Anesthetic]!

Countless tiny, almost transparent spectral needles materialized in front of her. Then, like a torrential downpour, they shot precisely into the crack of the Stegosaurus’s slightly open mouth, targeting its relatively soft oral mucosa and throat!

’If he’s worried about it waking up, then I’ll just make sure it sleeps a little more soundly!’

Considering the giant beast’s terrifying size and resistance, Seraphina Sullivan went all out, creating a staggering amount of Anesthetic.

Chet Lucius’s pupils constricted as he saw the invisible "rain of needles" flooding into the beast’s mouth. "This is...?"

"A reinforced Anesthetic. To help it sleep," Seraphina Sullivan said succinctly.

Chet Lucius didn’t ask any more questions. Taking advantage of Seraphina’s anesthetic assault, he quickly found a suitable angle, twisted off the sealed cap of the poison bottle, and began to continuously pour the viscous, blackish-green, fluorescent liquid deep into the Stegosaurus’s mouth.

The poison slowly trickled down its rough tongue and throat.

Seraphina wasn’t idle, either.

After unleashing a wave of Anesthetic, she immediately switched modes and activated [Highly Poisonous Potion] again!

This time, she didn’t bother with a bottle. Instead, she directly sprayed the conjured neurotoxin—now a deeper color and with a more pungent smell—into the Stegosaurus’s mouth as if from a high-pressure water gun!

It was countless times more efficient than pouring it from a bottle.

After emptying the two bottles of poison he was holding, Chet Lucius saw Seraphina’s method of "conjuring poison from thin air" and "injecting it directly." The corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

’Jeez, with that kind of efficiency at ’potion-making’ and ’poison delivery,’ she’s practically a walking biochemical arsenal!’

Of course, he wasn’t about to be outdone.

With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved a cup from his Storage Space. It was quaint in design, dark gold in color, and engraved with intricate patterns.

[Item: Greed Golden Cup]

[Effect: Automatically generates one cup of "Greed Wine" per day. This wine is extremely tempting to the drinker, but if consumed without its specific corresponding "Delicacies," the energy of greed contained within the wine will transform into an intensely corrosive and Highly Poisonous toxin, eroding the drinker’s Life Force and soul from within. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

It is especially effective against targets with low mental resistance or who are caught unawares.]

He tilted the golden cup slightly. A dark red liquid, emitting a rich aroma of wine and a strange, alluring scent, trickled out like a small stream, flowing into the "pond" of poison that had already collected in the Stegosaurus’s mouth.

The aroma of wine made Seraphina Sullivan pause for a moment. She glanced at the golden cup in Chet Lucius’s hand, a flash of surprise in her eyes. "A wine cup? An item?"

Chet Lucius nodded, not explaining further. "Yeah, a special item.

If you just drink the wine without the right dish to go with it, it’s a gut-rotting poison."

Seraphina Sullivan understood. She didn’t ask any more questions and continued to increase her "poison output."

And so, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded in the desolate clearing: two tiny humans stood by the mouth of a slumbering, mountain-sized beast. One was like a human poison fountain, madly spraying lethal liquids of various colors.

The other used a mysterious golden cup to endlessly pour out an aromatic "poisoned wine."

Armored Stegosaurus: ??? Why am I the only one getting hurt?

Through their "joint efforts," a massive amount of various Highly Poisonous substances was poured into the Stegosaurus’s digestive system.

The Anesthetic made it sleep more deeply, while the subsequent neurotoxins, corrosive venoms, and Greed Wine began to wreak havoc inside its body, attacking its nerves, corroding its internal organs, and dissolving its Life Force.

There was no struggle, no agonized roar.

This great Blight Beast, which had once rampaged across the land and struck fear into the hearts of countless survivors, had its Life Aura flicker like a candle in the wind while it slept, rapidly weakening until... it was completely extinguished.

It was dead.

It died silently, an incredibly pathetic death.

It didn’t die in a ferocious battle or from devastating cannon fire. Instead... it was poisoned to death in its sleep by two "dishonorable" Players using what could only be described as a ludicrously extravagant dosage.

When Seraphina Sullivan and Chet Lucius stopped "administering the poison" and took a few steps back, they looked at the massive, now-silent body. They both let out a slight breath and exchanged a look, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

The plan had succeeded, but the process... had felt a little too "smooth" and "strange."

"It should be... dead, right?" Seraphina Sullivan asked, uncertain.

After all, the monster was so huge that she couldn’t be sure if all that poison would kill it instantly.

Chet Lucius sensed the life fluctuations and Energy Field around the Stegosaurus completely dissipate. He nodded affirmatively. "It’s dead. Its Life Aura is completely gone.

Your Anesthetic and poisons, plus my wine... The Effect seems to have been pretty good."

The two didn’t celebrate immediately. Instead, they quickly moved away from the corpse and headed back in the direction of Dr. Ford’s hiding place.

The next step was to wait, and then... inform Dr. Ford that he could come "harvest" his research sample.

This Armored Stegosaurus, which had died such a pathetic death, would become a vital asset for humanity’s research in the fight against the Blight Beasts.

And through this collaboration, Seraphina Sullivan and Chet Lucius had gained a more direct and profound understanding of each other’s strengths and methods.
