The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 136
Episode 136: Occupation War (4)
– Don’t do anything unreasonable, Chieftain!
Hara-Val before putting himself into the catapult.
The high-ranking shaman stopped him and said,
-Other warriors and shamans are sufficient to infiltrate the fortress. If they succeed, there will be no need for you to step forward. If they fail, you will also fail. Just wait for now. If they fail, they will have to retreat and reexamine the operation…
-Kruk.
Those words touched Hara-Val’s heart.
An animal howl came out from Hara-Bal’s angry mouth.
The energy radiated by a warrior who is considered one of the best warriors in his tribe and the next great warrior.
The high-ranking shaman felt the injured area becoming more sore.
-Do shamans not even know pride? There is no retreat for a warrior.
-…Have you forgotten your tribal traditions? Listen to the shaman’s opinion. Chieftain.
-It’s the shaman’s opinion. In the past, there would definitely have been a need to listen. but.
A fortress floating on the river.
And then Hara-Bal gestures at the bizarre armor blocking the castle gate.
-You believe in witch doctors even after seeing things like that. Would it be possible for you?
-….
The high-ranking shaman lamented inwardly.
It is true that the information they found out through astrology was wrong.
but.
-So why don’t you understand that you need to be more careful!
The high-ranking shaman said while breaking into a cold sweat.
-That fortress and that black armor are the same. It’s impossible for something like that to suddenly appear.
-But it actually happened.
-…Something is unusual. Things are happening continuously that escape our awareness. Do you know what this means?
-What do you want to say?
-It means that there is a being lurking within that fortress who can make the impossible possible!
It was a high-ranking shaman who tried to persuade as much as possible.
It didn’t work for Hara-Val.
-Shamans are too timid. I didn’t like it for a long time.
-Chieftain!
Putting my body on the catapult.
Hara-Val said calmly.
-If you’re really that scared. Defeat my forces after I die, Shaman.
-….
Realizing that he could not stop him, the shaman lamented.
-If the Warchief were alive…
Shamans advise and warriors carry out.
A long tribal tradition.
But this tradition was falling apart.
Their king who coordinated between shamans and warriors.
Because the warchief was no longer in the world.
they.
Because they lost their leader and ended up wandering in another dimension.
-…I hope you come back alive.
-no. You would wish me dead. If I come back alive, I won’t forgive the coward who not only spread false information but even told me to run away out of fear.
like that.
The Chieftain threw himself into the fortress.
* * *
As a result of gradually growing taller after awakening.
A huge warrior who has now reached 2 meters and 30 centimeters.
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il.
And even bigger than that, a green-skinned monster that was almost 3 meters tall.
Hara-Val, Chieftain of the Green Mane Tribe.
Wow!!!
The two giants clashed in the middle of the fortress.
The ground around them shook in the aftermath.
“Shit!”
“Everyone get out! “This is not a battle we will engage in!”
Of course, ordinary awakened people.
Even the soldiers of the Legion had a hard time withstanding the aftermath of the battle.
thud!
“Kruk…!”
Let the Chieftain swing his huge axe.
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il blocked the attack by crossing the gauntlets of both hands.
Nevertheless, Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s body was pushed back several meters because he was unable to absorb the full impact.
Feeling your body being pushed away is something that can happen during a battle.
but.
The soldiers who saw the scene were astonished.
‘I can’t believe Corporal Jeon Gwang-il was pushed out.’
‘At least a boss monster…!’
After the battle at the fortress began.
Because it was the first time he was pushed out.
In one side.
Hara-Bal thought about the monster that sent Corporal Jeon Gwang-il flying away.
‘I never thought there would be such strong people among the indigenous species.’
The commander of this battle.
One of the most powerful warriors in the tribe.
Even the great warrior who led the tribe trusted him and was given command of the most important unit in this invasion.
He could not hide his surprise when he saw the soldiers of the legion.
‘I thought the native species were nothing but insects.’
[Green Mane Tribe].
They succeeded in occupying a significant portion of northwestern Gangwon-do.
A race born for war.
Among them, this achievement was possible because the Green Mane tribe counted on one finger in terms of military strength.
Of course, that was not the case if all the occupied territories were stabilized.
Even within their occupied territory, there were many powerful enemies that could threaten them.
‘The beings that protect the arsenals of indigenous species would be representative.’
However, they managed to seize the weapons.
The tribe also suffered significant damage.
but.
Native species were not included among the potentially threatening enemies.
Most of them are weak people who can’t even feel magical power.
Even those who rarely possessed magical powers were far inferior to the warriors of the tribe.
But now.
That thought has changed a little.
“KAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
-…Can’t you feel pain?
Even with the beings blocking the entrance to the fortress.
Hara-Bal never imagined that the tribe’s warriors would be pushed back even in a fight inside the fortress.
However, the native species within the fortress were strong.
Even those who were unable to withstand Hara-Bal’s attacks and were thrown away were at a level similar to or stronger than the tribe’s warriors.
Especially among them.
It was this warrior who had the greatest success.
thud!
Hara-Bal’s attack hits Corporal Jeon Gwang-il again.
I thought the damage would be significant.
“K…Khahaha! “Attack more!”
The more he gets hurt, the more happy he seems to be.
Even when I saw it from afar, I knew that it was a strong person worth watching out for.
Because he knew, the commander, Hara-Bal, stepped forward in person.
‘But what does this look like?’
The Green Mane tribe reveres battle.
but.
Even in his tribe, he had never felt this level of madness.
At that look.
Hara-Bal recalled a story.
An old legend passed down through the tribe.
Although no one truly believed it.
A being that every child in a tribe dreamed of becoming a warrior at least once.
-Berserker?
Berserkers do not die even if you kill them until the battle is over.
The more flesh is cut, the more pleasure I feel.
The more blood is shed, the stronger its power becomes.
Truly a warrior of legend.
Hara-Bal humbly decided to admit it.
This warrior.
If left alive, he would one day pose a great threat to the tribe.
-What the shaman said wasn’t a lie.
Doing things that went beyond the knowledge of the shamans.
There is a being who makes the impossible possible.
‘I thought it was just the nonsense of a scared shaman.’
If this warrior is really the ‘berserker’.
It may be possible to escape perception and make the impossible possible.
What the shaman said was not a lie.
That’s why I decided.
-Kill me here.
Kwasik!
The ax that Hara-Bal swung with all his might struck Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s shoulder.
No matter how much it is said to be a being only discussed in legends.
Now, not all of those talents have blossomed.
A tribal hero considered to be the next great warrior.
He was not Hara-Bal’s opponent.
* * *
Kwasik!
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s defense was completely breached.
The huge ax swung by the monster was lodged in his shoulder.
It was so powerful that it would not have been surprising if it had passed through his shoulder and split his entire body in two.
[Steel leather reinforced command uniform for intermediate tailors and intermediate engineers]
-It’s not ordinary leather.
Armor made with great care by the Legion’s engineers and tailors.
Protect vital areas with steel plates reinforced by [Steel-Eating Mac].
A combat uniform made by adding [Steel Lizard] leather on top.
The military’s finest luxury items greatly alleviated the impact.
But that’s it.
“Kruk!”
Even the combat uniform could not block all of Hara-Bal’s blows.
The iron plate is crushed and the leather is torn.
A huge ax stuck in Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s shoulder.
A cut so large that bones were visible.
An exhilarating pain went up Jeon Gwang-il’s back.
“Big ….”
If you were another, it would not be strange if you were stunned.
But Corporal Jeon Gwang-il.
“Khahahahahahahahaha!!!”
The pain was replaced with madness.
[Madness], unleashed to its fullest extent, covers the whole body like armor.
Human language, of course.
He had lost even his human tactics and flailed like an animal.
“We have to help Corporal Jeon Gwang-il…!”
“Oh my gosh! “It’s not up to us to intervene!”
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il, Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk, and Corporal Lee Min-jae.
They were the first to awaken in the unit.
Those who were in charge of leading each group.
Those three were strong men who were several steps ahead of other unit members.
Among them, Corporal Jeon Gwang-il was special.
Normally he is not that strong compared to the other two.
The problem is that his occupation is ‘berserker’.
When all [Madness] has been unleashed.
He turns into a monster that cannot be compared to the other two commander-level soldiers.
A monster that is not at all pushed by Corporal Jeon Gwang-il, but rather overwhelms him.
The other strong players in the legion are all fighting elsewhere.
“shit!”
“Someone go and call the corporals and sergeants!”
Ordinary soldiers couldn’t even participate in the fight.
As they move to call for backup.
There was only one emotion that filled Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s head.
‘fun…!’
The green giant in front of me was strong.
Each attack is heavy.
The moment you allow an attack even once, a tremendous amount of pain runs down your back.
‘This guy and me! ‘We’ll fight until one of us dies!’
But that pain didn’t last long.
Joy fills the place where pain has passed.
‘A glorious death awaits me!’
With his mind consumed by madness, Corporal Jeon Gwang-il was determined to fight until his death.
Hara-Bal too.
I knew that the warrior in front of me would not give up the fight.
The battle between the two strongmen continued.
How much time has passed?
Cooung.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…! Kahahahaha!”
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s one knee touched the floor.
Wounds that cannot continue the fight.
Nevertheless, Corporal Jeon Kwang-il smiled brightly and stretched out his fist.
-He is a great warrior.
Hara-Bal, standing in front of him, looked down at Corporal Jeon Gwang-il.
-I thought the native species were nothing but weak bugs, but that was my arrogance. A berserker you only heard about in legends… I never thought I would see it with my own eyes.
A warrior who continues to thrust his fists despite being wounded to the point where he cannot move.
Although it is said to be weaker than that now.
-If time had passed, even the Great Master would have threatened me.
If only I had been given a little more time.
The one that fell must have been Hara-Bal.
-I was lucky. I was able to nip all those talents in the bud before they bloomed.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhm to…”
-…I guess the entity the shaman warned about is also you. In other words. If I can kill you, it would also mean that there is no one to be afraid of.
Hara-Bal raises the ax in both hands.
The huge ax is struck towards the neck of Corporal Jeon Gwang-il.
-It was a good fight. Let’s meet again on the hill of war, Gwangjeon….
Dox was about to cut off Corporal Jeon Gwangil’s head.
Right at that moment.
Suddenly –
somewhere.
The sound of flesh being cut was heard.
It was not Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s neck.
-Whoa whoa…?
Chieftain of the Green Mane tribe.
A great warrior loved even by the great warriors.
He let out a painful groan.
Hara-Bal falls to his knees, unable to bear the pain rising up his back.
-What on earth…!
The Chieftain is trying to understand the situation even while feeling pain.
Looking at that.
A man muttered.
“Wow. This guy is a big bone.”
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il, Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk, and Corporal Lee Min-jae.
The three of them were strong men who were several steps ahead of other unit members.
Just one person.
A man who is not even mentioned in comparison with other unit members.
It existed in the Legion.
