The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 169

Episode 169: The spirit of darkness,

Kuung…!

[Green Mane Great Warrior]

[Highest Freshness – > Medium]

A huge warrior who was hit squarely by Gwangil’s fist.

Watching the body fall to the floor.

I internally cheered.

‘Yes!’

At first glance, it was a monster that seemed stronger than the Chieftain I met last time.

To take down such an incredible guy by yourself?

“The hard work was worth it…!”

To give that guy proper martial arts skills.

How hard was it?

It was the moment when all that hard work really shined through.

“That Corporal Jeon Gwang-il?”

“You were already a strong person. But that…!”

“It’s a completely different level.”

Unlike me, who had a vague idea of how strong Gwangil had become.

The soldiers were embarrassed when they saw that.

In the meantime.

Some sharp-eyed people focused on things other than Gwangil’s strength.

“no way.”

Minjae opened his eyes wide and said.

“Are you… controlling your madness?”

“I guess it’s not perfect. for now.”

I shrugged my shoulders and answered.

“oh my god. “Didn’t you go to Yanggu County to seek allies?”

“Yes, but. what. “Good things are good, right?”

“no. Even if Gwang-il is like that, I can’t believe the other guys have become that strong too. furthermore.”

Gwangil and I were not the only ones who returned from work at Myoyangsa Temple.

Soldiers who were originally the elite of the elite of the Legion.

Each of those guys learned a martial art one by one and returned.

and.

“…Who are those two again?”

“Those who will be our instructors.”

“…?”

To two martial arts instructors.

Even the black cat that jumps out from the shadows and sweeps the battlefield.

The fight in the world today is not simply determined by numbers.

A world where one strong person is more important than 10 weak people.

As for the 10 or so people I brought with me.

They were showing a level of activity that could not be expressed in that small number.

‘I wouldn’t know if their power was the same as before.’

This tribe suffered great damage due to Ariella’s rearrangement.

I guess I can push it away somehow now.

“what. “I decided to stop watching from here on out.”

Shouldn’t I also start working soon?

Holding [Dokgogu Style] and [Black Chinese Style] in both hands.

I took out the battle rations and stuffed them into my mouth.

Before coming here, I had already eaten proper food with Gwangil and others.

I felt a huge buff envelop my body.

But at that moment.

‘…huh?’

The ‘Green Mane Great Warrior’ defeated by Gwangil.

Near the guy’s body.

Something like a black shadow flickered.

‘What is that?’

Let that shadow-like thing settle on the body of the great warrior.

The body was torn to pieces.

When I saw that, I opened my eyes wide and was shocked.

‘That’s a waste!’

Although he fell after being attacked by Gwangil.

This guy was fatally injured and passed out, but he seemed to be alive.

then.

‘If I can trick you with cooking, it’s mine…!’

Lieutenant Kim and some criminals.

And just like I took Ariella under me.

I had hopes that I could somehow subdue that guy too.

But take that away?

I was just staring at it in bewilderment.

The great warrior’s torn body floats in the air.

and.

Faaagh!

It started rushing towards me.

“Was it me you were targeting!?”

[Ingredients Identification (Enhancement)]

[Freshness: Lowest]

[Race: Dark Spirit (Advanced)]

The identity of that black energy was immediately apparent.

Spirit of darkness.

The water spirit that Jeongsooah uses as a biological drone.

I’ve seen the earth spirit that those green mane guys use.

‘A spirit of darkness.’

A name I’ve never heard before.

Even just looking at it, it looked dangerous.

Although I was embarrassed.

There was no time to panic.

Two kitchen knives already held in both hands.

I swung it and knocked away the pieces of meat falling towards me.

but.

After cutting down the first attack, I realized.

‘too many.’

The great warrior’s torn body was floating in the air, embraced by a black shadow.

They say you swing a sword with both hands.

It’s so much that it’s impossible to cut it all out.

“Sergeant Shin!”

“crazy! Stop it!”

The unit members who saw me being attacked rushed to help.

Because this area was considered a cleared battlefield, the number of troops nearby was small.

Responding to those attacks coming at me…

is probably impossible.

An obvious crisis.

so that.

“…thank god.”

I actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course.

‘In the old days, I would have died without moving.’

The kitchen knives in both hands block the attack.

My body is completely empty.

That moment.

Kaang!

In the shadows.

A large object appeared.

“uh!?”

“That one.”

A black shadow that bounces off the object.

At first glance, it looks like a huge shield.

The identity of that large object is…

“It looks like a wok…?”

“I did something wrong, right?”

A wide pan often used in Chinese cooking.

It was a wok.

That wasn’t all.

An attack of black fog pouring down from all directions.

“…What is that?”

“frying pan?”

“What about a kitchen knife… and a flipper?”

“Is that a pork cutlet hammer?”

In line with those attacks.

Cooking utensils sticking out from the shadows.

Kaang!

Kang –

The kitchen knife gets stuck in the head of the great warrior.

Large stir-fry plates and wok frying pans block attacks directed at me.

“Cooking utensils are flying in the sky…?”

A huge number of attacks.

It was a firepower that I could never have stopped by myself.

[Assistant Chef]

I was not alone.

‘Assistant chefs’ who actively help me.

Invisible helpers were helping me defend against attacks.

Those invisible chefs share my stats.

It’s a shame that they don’t share characteristics and skills.

[Applied cooking effect – 4]

My stats with the cooking effect stacked are.

It’s beyond imagination.

‘Since there are 4 overlapping… you will have a lot of trouble later.’

Isn’t it more important to survive right now?

Although it is difficult.

The attack was able to be prevented with the help of assistant chefs.

but.

Fragments of the body thrown out.

I could see them coming back and rushing towards me again.

“No way, this. “Is this going to repeat until I die?”

The troops are also approaching.

I guess I can stop it a few times.

…what.

Okay, this is it.

‘I don’t like just blocking.’

If the enemy plans to keep attacking me until I die.

There is only one answer.

‘I’ll cook first.’

grasp-!

Holding a sashimi knife and a Chinese sword in both hands.

The main body shooting out fragments of that corpse.

I threw myself at the [Dark Spirit].

[Advanced Cooking Secret – Obtain ‘Enlightenment on how to prepare dark spirits’]

[Dark spirits are very poisonous and are not generally used as a food ingredient, but in the case of certain races, they are a preferred food ingredient to the point where they cannot be obtained. [I do.]

[If you are not a skilled magician, it is not easy to make a contract with them, and there is a culture where making a contract is also considered taboo, so it is a material that is difficult to find-] In my head

.

Methods for effectively grooming him were coming in one after another.

* * *

‘That’s surprising.’

When other soldiers learn martial arts from Seohwan.

I entrusted the creation of a new martial art to Miho and the other three.

She also took the same approach as Seohwan.

After watching the sparring, he will teach you the appropriate martial arts.

The opponent of that sparring match was a pig man who was defeated by Seohwan.

It was a bad thing, but…

‘I thought you had already reached a great level because you handled the sword so casually.’

‘Boo…. You’re rather a weakling, aren’t you? ‘I just lowered my head for no reason!’

What is the result?

Of course it was a crushing defeat.

When they saw [Assistant Chef], they were completely shocked.

I actually sparred.

The beastmen also realized that my fighting ability was not that strong.

‘What are you doing? Stick again.’

‘Buhihi. Basically, you don’t want to admit defeat.’

‘…I’m going the right way this time.’

but.

That wasn’t all for me either.

The pig was elated after winning once.

Aren’t you too proud to just look at that and ignore it?

[Cooking effect being applied – (4)]

I overdid it a bit.

Even though the aftereffects would be enormous, he doped four dishes at once.

As a result.

‘Buhiigik!? What. It’s completely different from before!’

‘…indeed.’

Even so, it was difficult to win.

It was possible to prevent people from calling him a weakling.

‘You can manifest new abilities by eating dishes with special abilities…? “This is the power of Eun-gong.”

‘for now.’

‘He has truly amazing abilities. Even among the heavenly immortals, there is no one who can demonstrate this kind of supernormal ability.’

Let me tell you all the different abilities I have.

Miho opened her eyes wide and was surprised.

‘but. I don’t know. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?’

‘what does it mean?’

‘Eun-gong’s ability… is so special.’

Her eyes looking at me.

It was like I was seeing something I couldn’t understand.

‘Your own abilities are not outstanding, but you can freely use the Igigeo Sword, which even I can’t do.’

‘To be exact, it’s a bit different…’

‘It’s not enough to have a sword, but depending on the situation, you can select and display various special abilities by taking food.’

The way Miho says that.

It didn’t seem like he was simply admiring it.

Rather.

A strangely uneasy feeling.

‘Are you saying that could be a bad thing?’

‘…I’ll be honest with you.’

To my question.

Miho sighs and answers.

‘With the knowledge I have, it is impossible to create a perfect martial art for Eunkong.’

what?

‘If it’s a martial art for masters, it may be a bit complicated, but it can be made as much as you like. but. Creating a martial art for someone as special as Eungong is impossible with my limited knowledge.’

When I heard that story.

Anyway, I became a little glum.

‘I don’t know if Master comes back, but…’

That’s right.

Even in my opinion, it would be difficult to create a ‘just right’ martial art for someone like me whose abilities vary depending on the cuisine.

I somehow managed to make it fit my conditions perfectly.

Because when you eat different dishes, the conditions change.

but.

Miho’s words didn’t end there.

‘So… what I’m going to make for you is a skeleton.’

‘skeleton?’

‘yes. ‘The framework before the martial arts for silver is completed.’

In the eyes of Miho who said that.

Instead of feeling empty like before, I was filled with a spirit of challenge.

‘Even this is something I need to do my best… but I think it’s worth the challenge.’

Did you say it was a non-gakju?

It seems like he didn’t get that position for nothing.

Even though she looked at the world in vain.

The challenge of creating a completely new martial art.

He seems to feel a strange joy from it.

The result of Miho and the priests investing all their time over several weeks.

This is what is completed.

[Food – ???]

[Skill Lv.1]

SSS+ like Gwangil’s.

Not even A+ like the soldiers.

It was a martial art of an unknown level called ???.

‘It’s probably because it’s unfinished.’

The reason for the rating was simple.

‘With my knowledge, I cannot create a martial art suitable for Eungong. ‘If there’s anyone who can do something like that, it’s only Eunkong himself.’

‘me?’

‘This martial art will be perfected to suit Eungong.’

Depending on which direction I grow.

Flesh is added to a martial art that has only the bare bones.

The direction changes depending on the path I take.

‘Then one day, when that level was sufficient.’

They say that Gwangil’s natural instinct is rare.

Gwangil existed before.

There were also martial arts created for them.

But…

what I learned is different.

It’s never happened before.

Probably only I will be able to learn it from now on.

‘Eungong’s martial arts will be perfected.’

Martial arts just for me.

[Martial arts – food reacts to the effects of cooking.]

This is a phrase I’ve never seen before.

It filled my eyes.
