The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 194
Episode 194:
Cooking utensils made by the poison army’s blacksmith with all his might.
Comfort of those cooking utensils.
A colorless, odorless, transparent liquid flows down.
‘…I’ll have to wash the dishes properly later.’
anyway.
Just like that, the newly armed cooking utensils flew into the air again.
Same goes for me.
After following the [assistant chefs] who participated in the battle again, I approached the monster.
Seolgeuk –
The place where my knife can barely reach.
I swung the knife towards my ankle.
‘It’s shallow as expected.’
Same as before.
Although it was definitely cut.
Bones, blood vessels, etc.
It cannot reach places where it can inflict fatal injuries.
Due to the limitations of short weapons, it is impossible to inflict much damage to a monster this large.
“Sergeant Shin!”
Have you ever seen me fight like that?
Several soldiers came towards me and spoke to me.
“I don’t think he gets along well with Sergeant Shin.”
“We will do our best here, so Sergeant Shin, please go to a safe place…” He
is not a soldier of the Corps for nothing.
These guys have a very developed eye for the battlefield.
I guess he knows that my cutting doesn’t mean much to that huge monster.
That’s a pretty good decision.
But…
“Just wait a moment.”
“…yes?”
I ignored the dissuasion from those guys.
I swung the knife at my ankle a few more times.
How many seconds passed like that?
-Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!
It was such a huge monster that it would have been difficult to even scratch its body with my sword.
One of the giant monster’s feet.
I fell to my knees and fell down.
“…!”
“What on earth is this?”
To be exact.
The very foot I was cutting off.
“…Did Sergeant Shin do it?”
“No, you didn’t even feed me the food. how?”
What is the answer to that question?
It was simple.
[Poison that melts the soul – Nepenthes]
Not long ago.
This is what I received from a friend who was worried about me, a weakling.
‘When I observed that monster with a [combat power meter], the color it showed was dark green.’
And that’s….
‘The same goes for this flower sitting on my wrist.’
Alraune is said to be the ruler of the forest.
A powerful entity that Alraune created to protect himself.
In particular, Nepenthes has no other combat abilities.
It is a flower that can fulfill its role with just its powerful poison.
No matter how huge and powerful the monster is.
Unless it’s an inanimate object that is impervious to poison.
Kuung….
“I’m falling down!”
Like that.
There was no choice but to collapse helplessly.
‘I guess the poison spreads slowly because it’s so big.’
Well, even though I am saying this.
That kind of result doesn’t come from just one cut.
While I was cutting that guy’s leg and injecting poison.
Cooking utensils that flew away carrying poison, too.
They must have injected poison by cutting here and there.
The effect has only just begun to appear.
-Gruck…!
A monster that screamed as if it was fine no matter how many cuts it received.
The monster struggles to raise its fallen body.
I thought about that look.
‘This poison… is very compatible with me.’
My job is a chef.
As it happens, I often go into battle.
And if you go into battle.
My fighting style
is closer to that of an assassin rather than that of a warrior.’
Because I am a non-combatant awakened person.
The problem is that there are no combat-related characteristics.
This also means that the attack ability is low.
Because it means that your defense ability is also reduced.
‘In other words, it’s like a body of water.’
It gets better if you mix the combat rations well.
If we say that there is no such kind of doping.
A body that could be split in two with a single cut from the same guy as [Green Mane Dark] last time.
so that.
My battles are when other soldiers are drawing aggro.
The main focus was to attack the back through [Environmental Fairy Tale].
‘It wasn’t the perfect fighting style.’
The problem is that even if they succeeded in sticking a knife in the back of the head like that.
If you fail to inflict mortal wounds on the enemy.
I was afraid that I could be attacked by an enemy who noticed me and be in great danger.
‘Not anymore.’
It doesn’t matter if you can’t kill or inflict fatal wounds in one go.
What if fatal poison was applied in that single attack?
Because the story is a little different.
Because of that poison I got a while ago.
The effect of a single surprise attack grew exponentially.
‘It’s not just my cutting.’
[Assistant Chef] It’s the same too.
It only shares its stats with me, the owner.
Skills that do not share characteristics.
Although my stats were decent, they were useful in their own right.
There were clear limits to attack power.
That problem too.
By applying that poison, half of the problem was solved.
Although other combat characteristics are still lacking.
At least when it comes to fighting against living things.
The attack power has reached a level where it is overflowing.
‘Isn’t it true that I like friends for no reason?’
When you hand over Nepenthes to me.
Alraune said this poison would go well with my cooking.
I don’t know if that was something he said with this fighting method in mind.
Well, good things are good things.
It’s the best gift I’ve ever received.
For me, it’s enough as long as it’s written well.
“What are you doing!”
A monster that fell to the floor due to the effects of poison.
I shouted as I approached him.
“That guy may be a boner, but he’s still fine. “Finish!”
“Yes yes!”
“All right!”
A monster that might have been seen as blue grade if it had been a little stronger.
As such a strong enemy, he resisted for a long time even when he fell to the floor.
Kwasik!
The result was obvious.
The soldier’s great sword cuts off the monster’s head.
Warm energy flowing into the body.
[Acquire experience points.]
A strange sense of satisfaction fills my whole body.
A significant amount of experience seeps into the body.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“OK.”
The soldier who finished off the monster shouts energetically.
however.
I felt the soldiers’ eyes were on me?
“That Sergeant Shin?”
“What on earth did you just do…”
“Ah. “It’s not that great.”
This poison was acquired not long ago.
There was no time to explain to the soldiers.
My sword strike was so strong that it brought that monster to its knees.
It could lead to such misunderstandings.
I tried to give at least a rough explanation about the poison and move on, but…
“That’s a lie…”
At that moment.
Someone who saw the monster falling muttered as if it was hard to believe.
“what.”
“Is that guy still alive?”
The monster we just fought.
He was the one who summoned that monster.
“That’s ridiculous!”
The Geodong winners who were here just a moment ago.
Four of those five people have already turned their bodies into dust and disappeared.
Maybe this guy was a little strong or something.
With the entire lower body gone, only the upper body remained, raising its head and looking at the battle.
“Didn’t you take everything from me and my colleagues in return…!”
“…?”
however.
Bloody tears flowed from the guy’s eyes.
Crackling….
A man yells, biting his jaw so hard that his teeth break.
The target of that cry was not our unit members.
“I made it clear that I would send a minion who could take down those soldiers…!”
A hoarse sound appeared in the throat, which had become dry due to aging.
Even what remains of his upper body slowly turns to dust.
Eventually, the minimal organs needed to sustain life also turn to dust.
The man whose eyes had lost focus muttered in a dying voice.
“No way, even for that great person…”
I stretched out my trembling hand towards the air.
A man shedding bloody tears in deep despair.
“You mean he wasn’t a true god?…”
“….”
The direction that that hand was heading towards was…
just before.
This was the exact direction where I felt [something huge] was located.
Toouk….
The man’s hands were shaking weakly.
falls to the floor
[Identification of food ingredients (enhanced)]
[Primates – corpses of human species]
[Freshness – lowest]
A man who has completely become a corpse.
The body soon turned into dust and was blown away by the wind.
“….”
The enemy attacked us.
I was attacked by a person whose face I had never seen before in my life.
Of course I didn’t feel good.
I had nothing but bad feelings towards him.
‘It’s an ugly death.’
Watching someone else die.
No matter who the target is.
It was never a pleasant experience.
Rather, after a heated fight with someone.
If you resist to survive and eventually die after being defeated.
It wouldn’t have felt like this.
but.
‘He didn’t die at the end of his life, nor did he die fighting.’
A human who died
after giving his body and soul to that [something] that
appeared above the unit and looked down on us .
Even.
Even though he was the one who sacrificed his life and wished for our death.
That wish also did not come true.
“Did you say devil?”
I don’t know if it’s an alien or a truly divine being.
That bastard whose identity is unknown.
‘How dare you…’
human life.
It means playing with it.
This is a bit much.
What should I say?
“I’m very annoyed.”
I turned back with a frown.
Radar located at the highest point of the unit.
“I’m coming back.”
To my classmates who will be there.
There were many questions to ask.
* * *
“What happened to those guys?”
Let’s get back on the radar.
My classmate sitting there.
Sergeant Taejun Park came out to greet me.
“There were about five people. “It was dealt with for now.”
no.
To be exact.
“Maybe we should say that they were dealt with among themselves.”
“What do you mean?”
“I tried to capture him alive, but I failed. “He committed suicide in a rather special way.”
“Hmm. is it.”
devil.
And the devil contractor.
‘There were a lot of things I wanted to ask those guys.’
Even just looking at it, it’s a bloody name.
It seemed like if I asked properly, important information would pour out.
‘Now it’s turned into powder.’
These guys don’t even have a single body left.
It’s difficult to ask anything.
Honestly, it’s a pity.
Now is the time to feel regretful.
so that.
I looked at Taejun and asked.
“You would know. “Why did those guys come here?”
Sergeant Park Tae-jun’s occupation is [Planetarium]
This guy was the one who told me that those guys would come.
If this guy.
Maybe we know something about the humans who turned to dust and died.
“The dead guys talk like they’re not everything.”
“Maybe so.”
Those five people are the ones who died right away.
It seemed like there were quite a few compatriots who shared the same views as them.
then.
Those guys might not be the only ones visiting the military base.
Right before we were discovered by our unit members.
I remembered the last words the guys praying said.
-Free the monsters that will be staying here…!
Unless I heard wrong.
Those guys…
“They act like they can liberate the monsters occupying the military base.”
“I’m not sure, but if those guys said that, it’s probably possible.”
To that answer.
I couldn’t help but frown.
“Is something like that possible?”
“I don’t know the exact method. “I only vaguely know that it will be possible.”
Monsters living in military bases.
They are overwhelmingly stronger than ordinary monsters.
‘Originally… they are strong enemies who must be sealed like the prisoners inside the gate.’
It is a spell placed on such a being.
How can ordinary people solve something like that?
No, if you think about it.
That doesn’t mean there are no such cases.
-It’s impossible.
A nobleman of the night waiting in my shadow.
Because Ariella is that person.
