He continued to unleash pure pain, subjecting these people to even greater torment. The power of magic coursed through their bodies, causing them to scream in agony, begging for mercy as they endured excruciating pain that felt like being torn apart every moment.

Tell me everything you know.

Suzuki Satoru looked at the face contorted in pain and said calmly.

"Where is your Soma Familia based? What is the situation of your clan's chief deity? And much other information..."

"You'd better tell the truth, I have plenty of magic that's even more painful than this."

There's really no need for much threat; these Soma clan addicts are far weaker-willed than the average person.

They spilled everything they knew, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, and Suzuki Satoru was thus certain—

This Soma clan is a very good target!

This clan is actually quite large, but its strength is not particularly great. The only Level 2 member is the leader, Chanis; the rest are all members who have become insane addicts, addicted to the divine wine brewed by the main god.

Just like Milo in front of us, he would do anything to make money to support the gods and brew divine wine.

This is also why, although the Soma Familia is weak, it is quite large in number. Often, just a cup of divine wine is enough to make others willingly join them and become part of their group.

Suzuki Satoru is familiar with this!

His former company had used this kind of stimulant to increase employee 'loyalty', or to put it more bluntly.

Somo God, you're still a major drug lord!

However, this makes it clear what needs to be done.

Suzuki Satoru swiftly dispatched the Soma Familia members with two lightning strikes, immediately confirming his target.

Soma Familia – since they attacked me first, I shouldn't have any complaints about them all becoming materials for my divine blood extraction.

One word: Kill!

Chapter 14: 118. The Demise of the Soma Familia

Therefore, Suzuki Satoru came to the territory of the Soma Kinkaku.

Upon realizing that this group was both hopeless drug addicts and a bunch of scum who cheated and swindled others, Suzuki Satoru's not-so-great conscience sentenced them to death.

At this moment, within the Soma Familia...

The little girl Lilyluka Erd pushed a food cart into the guild hall.

Today is their clan's monthly 'carnival day,' or rather, it should be said to be the day of celebration for their return to their clan after their 'expedition.'

However, for the Soma Familia, their so-called expedition is different from that of other normal Familias.

More precisely, while other clans' expeditions involve defeating monsters and exploring dungeons in depth, the Soma clan's expeditions...

"Chandra earned us 1500 million faris in the first quarter of this year, let's congratulate him!!!"

As the gray-haired, bespectacled scoundrel on stage spoke loudly, the members of the Soma Familia below erupted in cheers and applause.

Yes, this is their expedition.

They report their 'earnings' three quarters a year.

Instead of hunting monsters in dungeons to earn magic stones, they resort to all sorts of trickery and deception to obtain Faris's 'expedition'.

That's normal, isn't it?

Every single person present, except for Chanis, who had served as the leader's "wine guardian," was a group of drug addicts.

Although Soma's elixir doesn't damage the nerves and body like medicine, its addictive properties alone are enough to destroy most people's normal understanding.

Compared to fighting monsters to the death, they would naturally choose an easier way to make money.

Therefore, swindling, cheating, and even luring monsters to kill adventurers are the true jobs of the Soma Familia members.

Not for great achievements, not for growth, but all for money.

Then, they used money to exchange for the divine wine of their god.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Chanis immediately ordered that the wine and spirits be brought up.

Soon, bottle after bottle of the divine wine was distributed. They eagerly opened them and put them in their mouths. As the divine wine entered their bodies, they were overwhelmed with uncontrollable joy, both mentally and physically, and began to revel in it.

There was only one exception among the reveling and frenzied crowd.

—A bunch of absolute scum

Lily sat in an inconspicuous corner of the clan, coldly watching the chaotic revelry, and clasped her hands tightly.

She was born into this clan. Her parents were so obsessed with the divine wine that they neglected her after she was born and nearly starved to death.

Soma raised her, but nine years ago, she was tempted by Chanis and drank the elixir of immortality…

How can mortals resist such divine pleasure?

Because of her revelry over the divine wine, she lost Soma's favor. From that day on, Soma chose to stay quietly in his room, silently brewing wine.

A filthy and despicable den of poisonous insects!

But ironically, aren't I one of these scourges myself?

Lily's eyes were filled with sorrow and disgust. She hated everything that was repulsive, yet she felt pathetic because she was part of that disgusting thing.

Perhaps there were others in the clan who shared similar thoughts with her.

But when even the greatest sorrow and pain can be alleviated by simply drinking a glass of wine...

How many people can resist this convenience?

There was one other person who remained calm: the leader, Chanis. The wine keeper, who was distributing the divine wine, looked disdainfully at his fellow clansmen, including even his own god.

He used his power to distribute drinks to control the Familia and thus take control of everything. Compared to Soma, he was the true master of the Familia. Soma was merely a brewer, while he was the greedy and cruel drug lord of this huge criminal organization deeply rooted in Orario.

Squeak~~~~

The gates of the clan's kin were suddenly opened.

The sudden intruder drew everyone's attention. Chanis stared blankly at the unassuming Far Eastern man walking towards him.

"Greetings, members of the Soma Familia."

Suzuki Satoru walked in, looking at the bottles of divine liquor with great interest, savoring their taste.

"It may be presumptuous of me, but could you please give me a bottle?"

"Who are you? Don't even think about taking my drink!!!"

The adventurer in front of him, upon hearing that someone wanted to steal his divine wine, completely lost his mind, simply clutching the bottle and shouting wildly.

I didn't ask for your opinion.

Suzuki Satoru said calmly, pressing down lightly with a wisp of black gas emanating from his hand.

The adventurer's eyes widened in horror, and he fell backward, dying instantly.

He caught the dropped divine wine, sniffed it, and then frowned.

Meanwhile, Chanis watched all this silently, his face grim, assessing the opponent's strength.

To be so confident in venturing into their clan's territory alone, one's strength is probably at least LV2.

But... judging from his profession, he seems more like a mage than a melee adventurer.

In that case... the threat will be significantly reduced.

"Who are you? This is a gathering of the Soma clan. Those who are not involved, please leave!"

Chanis said in a serious but polite voice

He is indeed a bully only to his own kind. After all, he is very aware of his own combat strength. Although he is also LV2, he is definitely one of the weakest adventurers of the same level.

It's better to avoid trouble; it's best to persuade the problem to go away.

Suzuki Satoru put away the divine sake in his hand. It gave him a strange feeling, somewhat like the taste of a certain item that he rarely brought out in Yggdrasil.

Never mind, I'll study it slowly.

He's here to cause trouble.

"Unrelated party? Not long ago, two of your members tried to kill me and inherit my estate."

Suzuki Satoru said calmly, then threw two charred corpses out from behind him.

Upon seeing the corpse, Chanis's eyes narrowed slightly. Although it was somewhat difficult to recognize, he still identified it as a member of the Soma Familia.

Damn it, those incompetent drug addicts who are more trouble than they're worth!

Knowing that it was a member of the clan who had gone out to cheat and swindle without proper background checks, Chanis's lips curled down in displeasure, but he still remained relatively amiable.

"This is an isolated case involving one of our family members; please do not generalize it to the entire group. We are willing to provide compensation if possible."

"Where is your chief god, Soma?"

Suzuki Satoru scanned the area but didn't find the main god. He looked at Chanis with little interest.

"Isn't the supreme god here? What a pity. Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway, we're going to use you as scapegoats anyway..."

"Attack! Kill his men! The reward is ten bottles of divine wine!!!" Chanis roared fiercely.

Chanis's roar was like igniting a powder keg. The Soma Familia members, who were still immersed in the intoxication brought by the divine wine, were instantly filled with violence and greed. The way they looked at Suzuki Satoru was like hungry wolves eyeing a plump lamb.

"He dared to kill members of our clan and still dared to trespass here and cause trouble. This kid is tired of living!"

A burly man with a face full of scars roared, brandishing a rusty giant axe, and charged towards Suzuki Satoru. He staggered, clearly still affected by the divine sake, but this did nothing to diminish his ferocity.

More people, lured and spurred by the divine wine, gathered around. Some wielded longswords, others brandished short knives, and still others were bare-handed, their faces contorted with grotesque expressions. These people had long since cast aside their conscience, and now, under the temptation of Chanis, they were utterly reckless, wanting only to tear this outsider who dared to provoke them to pieces and obtain the divine wine.

They closed in step by step, completely surrounding Suzuki Satoru, forming an impenetrable encirclement. They could almost see the horrific scene of Suzuki Satoru being slaughtered by them. In their eyes, Suzuki Satoru was alone; even if he had some strength, he was still just a magic caster and could never withstand such a large-scale attack.

In the corner of the chaotic crowd, Lily sat quietly, without moving an inch. She raised her head, her clear eyes reflecting the frenzied scene before her, yet showing no emotion.

She had witnessed this scene far too many times; the people of the clan would do anything crazy for the sake of the sacred wine or for money. She had long since become numb to it all, even adopting a cold, indifferent attitude.

Of course, she actually hoped that Suzuki Satoru could survive, but in her opinion, such a thing could only be a fantasy.

The encirclement was tightening, and the burly man at the front had raised his giant axe, about to bring it down on Suzuki Satoru's head. The air was thick with the pungent smells of alcohol, sweat, and impending blood, making everyone want to vomit.

"Hellish Entropy Landscape"

Suzuki Satoru spoke softly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand. A wisp of black mist swirled around his fingertips, emanating a chilling aura that seemed capable of devouring all light and life in the world. The surrounding air instantly turned icy cold, and everyone around him froze in mid-light.

"What is this?" Chanis's expression changed drastically, a strong sense of unease rising within him. He had never seen such bizarre magic before.

Suzuki Satoru didn't give them much time to think. He turned his palm, and the dark mist instantly surged, transforming into a massive black torrent that swept towards the surrounding Soma Familia members.

In an instant, all the members of the Soma Familia collapsed to the ground.

But they were not dead, and they didn't even have a single scratch on their bodies.

They simply lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

Hellish Entropy, a fifth-tier magic, has an effect as its name suggests, making those infected feel as if they are in hell.

Although Suzuki Satoru really wanted to unleash a massive magic attack to wipe them all out, that wouldn't work.

Directly damaging parts will affect the collection of materials.

Chapter 15: 119. The Blood of Soma

Suzuki Satoru's strength has been greatly reduced.

Because what was actually copied was his human body, not his character in the game.

This involves the difference between a person's soul and body, and of course, it's also because Qiu Hai is unwilling to copy that 'Bone King'.

After all, if Qiu Hai were to actually replicate that level 100 player and his complete set of equipment, the cost would be too high for him, and the benefits would be difficult to balance.

After all, he was different from his uncle. His uncle was basically an ordinary person except for his all-powerful lobbyist, but Suzuki Satoru's game body was a real max-level mage.

Moreover, once he reaches his power level, exceeding the capabilities of a large-scale top-secret field, Qiu Hai will no longer replicate them, but will prefer to choose a more economical and practical method.

So the choice was to let him use a human body. Of course, Akihi wouldn't be too harsh; he gave Suzuki Satoru's body enough spellcasting ability.

He's currently at a level equivalent to around level 50 or 60 in the game, capable of casting fifth and sixth-tier spells normally, and if he chooses to use some special techniques, he can also cast seventh-tier spells.

However, Qiu Hai was very generous in allowing him to use the 'tools' on him in the God Realm.

After all, firstly, he wasn't the Ainz Ooal Gown who traveled through time with the Great Tomb, so his tools were quite limited; secondly, this was also of research value to him.

In short, Suzuki Satoru's strength was not as great as his original self.
