The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 178

Episode 178: Memories of those who went before. (2)

[I experienced the chef’s method that goes far ahead.]

[Gain a large amount of experience points.]

[Your level increases.]

It was a bizarre behavior that I could not understand at all.

The system judged that it was a dish that raised the level just by looking at it.

‘Wasn’t it supposed to be taken lightly because the spirit was ridiculous?’

A different world where cuisine has evolved in its own way.

He is considered one of the best chefs in the world.

The dish he created by putting all his effort into using the best ingredients.

If you think back,

I feel so foolish for thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal.

No matter how ridiculous it may seem to me.

Of course I should have thought there was something hidden.

‘If there’s one good thing….’

I never thought it would be such a great thing.

Unlike me, who skipped over valuable scenes.

[I have witnessed the extreme of elemental cooking.]

[If you acquire the elemental cooking trait in the future.]

[The effect of the elemental cooking trait increases by 50%.]

The system is.

That I didn’t miss that opportunity.

“Anyway, that’s true. “How can I cook to the point where I’m sick like this?”

“I’m sorry. I think it will be difficult to cook delicious dishes from now on. At the end, I wanted to make the best dish possible…”

I can’t believe how much effort was put into this dish.

After finishing that dish.

This cook had been sick for several days.

“It’s nothing to be sorry about.”

What came to visit the chef who opened his eyes.

It was the first monster I saw after possessing this chef.

I didn’t know at first.

‘If you think about it now… that gentleman must be of quite high status even by the standards of this world, right?’

So much so that they can decide the Pope’s diet.

“Are you saying it’s not something to be sorry about…?”

“Thanks to you, His Holiness’ health has improved a lot.”

“Is that really true!”

“I don’t lie about things like this.”

In the words of ‘the Most High’.

The chef is very pleased.

This means that the chef cares about the Pope’s health.

To me, it was just a monster.

It seems he was quite popular in this world.

“…Originally, he would have died at the end of his life before he could last even a month. But do you know what I heard from the priests today?”

“What did you hear?”

“They say the Pope’s life has been extended by five years. “Thanks to your cooking.”

Even after saying it myself.

A monster looking at the ‘chef’ with an expression of disbelief.

‘crazy.’

What’s hard to believe is that story.

I was the same way while listening.

What have I done to myself?

It was a dish I really didn’t understand at all.

“Your cooking is truly beyond imagination…”

“Haha… That’s too much praise. “It’s because the ingredients were good.”

One thing was certain.

‘You saved a life on the verge of death through cooking?’

It’s not like I got sick or anything.

A life that almost died at the end of its lifespan?

‘It doesn’t make sense…’

I, too, have treated fainting people through cooking.

I am the one who values the potential of cooking more than anyone else in the unit.

but.

Even I couldn’t even imagine extending life through cooking.

A miracle that cannot even be compared to the simple treatment I performed.

This chef I reside within.

‘This guy is walking a long way ahead that can’t even be compared to me…!’

oh my god.

If you think about it, it’s not for nothing that the Pope had high tastes.

‘I was eating the food prepared by this gentleman every day!’

Are you wondering if your appetite will not increase and you will feel exhausted?

It was a moment when I realized that none of my cooking was working.

‘Now that it’s like this… I need to focus as much as possible on it.’

He is a chef who has reached a level that is difficult for me to even imagine.

If a person is like this, it would be correct to say that life and cooking are one.

Hand gestures and foot gestures.

The meaning of each of those small actions is difficult for me to guess.

Something that may contain enlightenment as a chef.

Unlike just before, when I let go of my mind and roughly ‘experienced’ it.

I focused all my attention so as not to miss any of his slightest actions.

* * *

Contrary to my resolve.

After that, the chef resumed his normal daily life.

After recovering my health, I went to work at the temple again and started cooking.

‘…I don’t know what it is when I look at it again?’

Even if I try hard, I can’t understand it.

I leave work after cooking something incredible.

A life that repeats this.

Let’s just say that sometimes something unusual happens.

“Did you hear that?”

It was about meeting and talking with friends of other races.

“well. “They say the warriors of the Okear Sea were annihilated.”

“…I heard that it may not be a light disturbance, but those strong seas…?”

The change began.

Some time after that.

While talking with friends from other races.

This was when information about disturbing rumors began to spread.

‘Following the Okemar Sea, the Aegean Sea was destroyed by the invasion of monsters.’

‘According to the refugees, he is a powerful enemy that even the great warriors of each race struggle with.’

‘The races of each sea alone are not enough.’

‘The Guardians of Dathmurian may participate.’

Let’s hear the story.

The sea where the chef was staying seemed like the capital of the world.

Then, there is one thing that is puzzling.

‘If it were our world, the strongest one would have been invaded first.’

The same goes for Seohwan and Miho’s world.

So do we.

The invasion begins by first suppressing the military force of the invaded world.

Still, I was a little surprised that this place was still quiet.

“Isn’t this going to get dangerous soon?”

“no way. This is where God’s protection extends. “No matter how powerful a monster is, it won’t be able to overcome this place.”

I guess.

It seemed that the ‘God’s protection’ was protecting this sea.

However, they say it is the safest place.

It wasn’t that it had no effect.

“It’s time to go!”

“…I can’t believe the Dasmurian guardians are going to war.”

Dasmurian.

The tribe to which this chef I am possessing belongs to.

They seem to be treated as the most powerful race in this world.

And among them, a group comprised only of powerful warriors are the Guardians.

They led the warriors of the capital and marched out.

“…It’s quiet here too.”

“That’s right.”

soon.

Several young people from different races all headed to the battlefield.

Except for a very small number of warriors protecting the temple.

There were only children and old people left in the temple.

‘….’

I felt strange as I watched the scene.

A lot of time has passed again.

[I guess I won’t be able to see you for the next few days.]

“Shinsu?”

An incredibly huge turtle that was guarding the temple.

‘Shinsu’ raised his body.

[The enemy’s invasion has arrived right off the coast. The time has come for me to step forward.]

“That’s it…! “Are you saying it’s to the point where Shinsoo needs to step in?”

What does Shinsu’s campaign mean?

I don’t know much about it myself.

‘I’ seem to have been extremely shocked by that fact.

[What. It’s a shame, but you spent a long time lounging around without doing anything, right?]

“…You were in charge of guarding the temple.”

[This is a temple where there is no minor incident in the capital, which is extremely safe because it is protected directly by God. That’s what I call lounging around.]

Shinsoo was jokingly muttering.

There was a bit of tension in his tone.

[It’s time to pay for the food you’ve been wasting away on.]

“…I hope we can meet again.”

[You too. I hope you stay safe until the day we meet again.]

After that conversation.

Is it because a being called Shinsoo himself stepped forward?

For several years.

The amount of disturbing news reaching the capital has drastically decreased.

* * *

One day, I wondered if peace would continue like that.

suddenly.

“The moon has disappeared…?”

The moon that had warmly enveloped Dasmur disappeared.

The world was immersed in darkness.

“What the hell is going on!”

The guardians fighting on the front lines all fled to the capital with fatal injuries.

Fighters and refugees only repeated incomprehensible testimony.

‘Shinsu was hunted by a huge snake… and the devil with a red spear fell the moon.’

Not long after that.

What filled the chef’s eyes.

The capital’s sea.

It was a group of monsters

that filled the horizon in front of them .

‘devil…? Besides. Is that a dragon?’

Just before Seohwan and Miho’s world falls apart.

Was that what the being that Miho witnessed felt like that?

‘This chef was getting ahead of me. ‘It wasn’t just cooking.’

Destruction too.

It happened before me.

They are powerful beings who could easily be called gods.

A horde of monsters following them.

however.

I saw something a little strange among the group.

“The guardians are over there….”

It’s as big as 10 meters tall.

A giant with a beard like seaweed covered in scales.

Dasmurian.

They were guardians who went out to prevent unrest.

and.

A huge being swimming next to them in a bizarre posture.

The chef who saw this shed tears of blood.

“Even Shinsoo….”

The chef said that it would be nice if we could meet again.

It was done in a slightly twisted way.

yet.

The last war unfolded.

[Divinity descends.]

The master of this world.

A being like the world itself… God.

[Master of the Endless Sea – Dasmur]

He descends on the battlefield.

His followers took up arms against the invading monsters.

‘I’ participated in the war along with the warriors who remained in the capital.

In that war.

‘I’ showed such fierceness that it was hard to believe I was a chef.

‘Elemental cooking is… Was it possible to use it like this?’

It was a moment of admiration as he defeated his enemies.

In the end, even though he was blessed by God and gained tremendous power.

-Koooooooo…!

Unable to overcome the crowds of corpses of their compatriots.

‘I’ falling into the sea.

“Damn it…!”

He didn’t stop fighting even when he fell.

“They’re like bugs…!”

Kwasik.

The teeth of a god who has lost his wit.

The chef’s body was cut in two.

The upper body of ‘my’ is sucked into the mouth of the divine beast.

‘—————!!!’

This chef is ‘me’.

To the extent that I am experiencing his memories as they are.

I vividly felt the sensation of my body being torn in two.

‘Kruk….’

Extremely realistic.

Painful sensation.

but.

Is it because it is a memory of ‘me’ and not of me?

Even though his body was torn in two, Lee Seong-man remained intact.

Because reason is intact.

The pain became more and more realistic, but…

‘Is that…?’

Even when he was eaten by a divine beast and cut in half.

‘My’ eyes are wide open.

He was looking straight ahead.

What I saw there.

‘A body that has been dead for a long time… and is decaying.’

Maggots filled Shinsoo’s intestines.

Insects flock to eat the corpse.

Shinsu was clearly dead.

‘The dead divine beast is alive and moving.’

An entity that is contradictory in itself.

A being like this.

I already know.

“Zombie….”

From my mouth.

The very moment when words came out of my own volition.

[Skill – Absolute Taste activates.]

[Permanently acquires Dasmur Chef’s attribute stat experience.]

[Acquires attribute – ‘Elemental Cooking’.]

[Strength, Dexterity, Magic Luck, and Luck stats are permanently increased by 10. ]

[Dasmurian’s magic power has been acquired.]

[The related effects of the highest level food ingredient consumed in the past, ‘Saint’s Remains Fishman’s Meat.’ are promoted.] [

Experience the memories of Dasmurian’s cook.]

“Huh. .. Huh….”

After the short ‘experience’ ended.

I could feel that I had returned to reality.

What fills my eyes are messages in the status window telling me what I have obtained.

Vitality that fills your body.

Just by looking at the increased stats, I could see that it had strengthened me tremendously.

furthermore.

‘Elemental cooking…’

Even the very same techniques used by Chef Dasmur.

‘It’s a huge reward, but.’

I was sure.

Various effects achieved through this dish.

Among them.

The greatest reward is none other than…

‘this memory.’
