The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 217
Episode 217 This is not it.
A monster in the form of a dark shadow.
The dark spirit stands up and steps forward.
“Since that guy came forward…”
“Yes. “The immediate crisis will be resolved.”
but.
Wonjun and the executives could never feel at ease.
‘That guy… is not the one we called.’
The entity they made a contract with.
[Demon]
Their owner was at the time of signing the contract with Wonjun.
I spoke to them only once.
It was true that I gained a lot of knowledge and information thanks to this.
After that.
He didn’t say anything except when called to sign a contract.
At the time of the first contract.
According to what their master told them….
‘Master… never gives something without compensation.’
The minions who were protecting them also.
They were the beings that Wonjun gave as ‘guides’ on the condition that they would arrange contracts for others.
especially.
‘…No one with more than a certain level of power has ever given us anything except when we sacrificed our lives.’
For their goals.
How many times have you entered into a ‘contract’?
The monsters that appeared were very powerful.
Among those minions, there probably aren’t even ten monsters that strong.
and.
The dark spirit was one of the most powerful monsters he had ever seen.
Twenty contractors.
No, it made me wonder if I could obtain a being like that even if I sacrificed the lives of thirty people.
‘A being that suddenly appeared even though we didn’t summon it.’
I wonder if there are other humans besides them who have made a contract.
Although Wonjun had a headache.
One fact was certain.
their owner.
There’s no way you wouldn’t receive anything in return for using a being of that size.
‘I can’t help it.’
If you can’t kill the soldiers coming right away.
This is a situation where everyone is going to die.
I don’t know what price it will cost.
How could there be an option to survive in this position even at such a high price?
If the spirit of darkness steps forward and eliminates the powerful enemies.
After that, other minions will be able to gradually clear out their mobile bases such as tanks.
Even now, we are not in a situation where we are overwhelmingly outgunned by the soldiers.
If only that would happen. The remaining minions
will
be able to capture those soldiers….
I thought.
“huh?”
The man approaches him.
A man holding two daggers in both hands.
I confidently walk towards the ominous-looking monster.
‘Is he crazy?’
I don’t know what kind of confidence it is, though.
Wonjun thought that that man would be the spirit’s first prey.
however.
[…[email protected]?#!]
The spirit’s shadow is shaking.
like.
‘As if he felt fear…’
What happened after that.
It was a sight that was hard to believe even when I saw it.
* * *
‘I wondered where he had run away.’
Were you here?
If you think about it, that great sorcerer and these guys are the same demon contractors.
I understand why he ran away from there and came here.
Pull out your sword.
I thought as I approached him.
‘I somehow won last time, but he’s stronger than I thought.’
no.
In fact, it was difficult to say that we won even then.
An enemy who openly let my guard down and tried to play with me.
After taking advantage of that carelessness, he penetrated into the middle of the attack.
Because it was nothing more than a once-in-a-lifetime meal.
They say they kept fighting.
It was a situation where it was difficult to be certain that I would win.
-It’s a spirit of darkness…
and.
It seemed like it wasn’t just my idea.
According to Borgin.
-Honestly, I wonder how you were able to survive that being.
‘…Eh? ‘That much?’
-You may not know, but if you had kept fighting, you wouldn’t have survived either. Because the dark spirit was an absolute servant when it came to annihilating an individual.
Because it has no substance, it cannot even cause damage without a special attack method.
The bombardment through that shadow was very powerful.
Of course, my military uniform, which the corps’ production workers worked hard to create, was torn to pieces in an instant.
[Steel Lizard]’s cooking effect turned my body into a rag in an instant.
Where is that?
-Once you annihilate a target, you rip the body of the annihilated target into pieces and use it as your weapon. The dark spirit continues the battle like that.
I just didn’t see it.
If I had died there, they could have used my corpse to launch a stronger attack.
At the time, I trusted its regenerative power and was able to somehow attack and give it a punch.
What if I fought properly and he even figured out my regenerative power?
Next time, we wouldn’t have expected such a fluke.
‘what. ‘Then why did you run away?’
-…Okay. There are some parts that make you guess.
Borgin’s eyes turn to my pocket.
The biscuit bag containing [combat rations].
-The dark spirit’s weakness is its divine power. But you don’t seem to have any divine power.
‘huh? That’s right.’
-He won’t be a paladin or a priest. Of course. A person like that used his divine power to cut down his enemy. Since the dark spirit is a higher being, he must have been able to feel it.
The reason I was able to cut him down at the time was.
Thanks to [Hangma]’s cooking made with plenty of holy water and garlic.
-Where did you get that divine power?
and.
That anti-demon dish…
– How many mediums that provided that divine power are piled up near you.
In the biscuits pockets of all unit members.
Two or three of them were in ample supply.
“Youngjun.”
“Sergeant Shin!”
Did you say it’s a monster that specializes in annihilating one individual?
but.
‘My job is a chef.’
Starting with the name.
Since it is clearly a support job.
“Can I deal with that guy?”
“okay.”
“Everyone this way!”
The reason he ran away in the first place.
It wasn’t really because of me.
By eating my cooking.
All the soldiers around him…
will take advantage of his weakness.
“Encircle as much as possible! “You can’t miss it like last time!”
“Don’t give me a chance to escape!”
Soldiers in gray military uniforms.
A subtle light was leaking from between their bodies.
As they gathered in one place, the light seemed to grow bigger…
[Light of Anti-Demon]
[Skill – The effect of Anti-Demon Light becomes stronger due to the effect of Warsong.]
[Attribute – Anti-Demon Light’s effect becomes stronger due to the effect of the Legion’s Energy. The effect of light becomes stronger.]
Light fell on the battlefield.
Easily drive away the darkness that the spirit surrounds the body with.
A light
so bright and brilliant that it does not even provide a way to escape .
* * *
“That light. “What the heck…”
“Are they all priests…? no. “That doesn’t make sense.”
A servant who was so powerful.
The spirit of darkness is hunted in vain.
“This leader.”
Contractors who were protected by minions inside.
For those who knew the power of spirits…
it was an extremely embarrassing scene.
“What should I do?”
“Please say something…!”
Their gaze.
Head of contractors.
I turned to Wonjun.
This is where I first made a contract with the devil.
A man who increased the number of people who signed a contract with the devil by explaining to them why they had to make a contract with the devil.
“It’s unreasonably strong….”
Guide Wonjun.
It seemed like there was no time to respond to the looks the other contractors were giving him.
Before they knew it, all the monsters around the building they were in had been subdued.
Legion soldiers were seen approaching the building.
“Are you a soldier?”
“yes?”
Wonjun grits his teeth and mutters while looking at that scene.
The power of the legion was too strong.
It’s hard to believe that it could have been built in an ordinary way.
so.
There must be a reason for that power.
“Because I was lucky enough to be at the military base on the Day of Doom…”
“…Guide?”
“You mean you were able to get that kind of power easily…!”
A huge number of tanks.
A vehicle reinforced with various materials.
Even a considerable number of soldiers in full military discipline.
When I heard that the military unit had survived.
I thought that only one small unit was lucky enough to survive.
Now that I see it, it wasn’t.
‘At least a military unit of several thousand people survived intact.’
With those soldiers.
Their contractors were different.
Monsters that suddenly appeared on the Day of Doom.
Because they were not given any power to deal with that monster.
In order to survive.
Either catch a zombie or wake up with luck.
Or….
‘You can borrow the help of another great being.’
There was only one of the two.
so that.
Wonjun couldn’t help but become even more angry.
“Those guys have grown their strength so easily that they don’t even know…!”
“What do you mean you don’t know?”
“The fact that the power they possess will actually drive humanity to extinction!”
The contractors here knew.
For humanity to survive.
The only way.
“…damn. “That is correct.”
“They mistakenly think that since they are that strong, they will be able to easily survive in the future.”
Wonjun shouted.
The contractors, who were looking around with anxious eyes, were filled with determination.
“Let’s resist!”
Even.
One of them shouted so courageously.
“Damn, they are so damn strong, but…!”
“If you prick it, a drop of blood will come out!”
Was he influenced by the leader’s words?
Contractors shouting bravely.
“Everyone… thank you.”
Looking at them.
Leader Wonjun stood blankly for a moment as if he was moved.
Soon he opened his mouth.
“Let’s make a contract.”
“…!”
What is a contract?
It’s the only skill they have.
Offer your body and soul to the great being.
Achieving what you want.
in other words.
It was about sacrificing our lives together.
“Their strength is abnormal. They must have quickly increased their power by using the weapons of the military unit. We won’t be able to win with our fighting power. but!”
Looking at the people gathered together.
Wonjun shouts loudly.
“The more ‘strong humans’ there are, the more the master’s great work will be delayed!”
“….”
“Everyone knows. “The only way to save humanity is to follow the master’s will!”
“that… “I know it well.”
“Although we will not be included in the humanity that is saved, we must eliminate them even at the cost of our lives.”
The minions given by their master to protect them were clearly strong.
but.
In the end, it wasn’t enough to overcome those soldiers.
but.
‘The minions we summon by sacrificing our souls are stronger than that.’
Demon contractors here.
If they all make a contract and summon their minions.
Powerful beings who can subdue even those soldiers will appear.
“…Well, well. “I think that would be more efficient than fighting with swords.”
“damn. “I thought I would do it someday, but I never thought that moment would come so suddenly.”
Starting with Wonjun’s words.
People were nervous and prepared to make sacrifices.
“Huh huh… Our dog won’t die, right?”
“no way. “It’s all for humanity.”
“Oh, sons… I don’t know where they are, but I’ll go to mom first…”
Those who were prepared to make sacrifices.
We sit together in one place, shedding tears.
In a sublime atmosphere where everyone becomes one.
As a representative.
The leader shouted.
“Lord of our souls!”
That moment.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
The air around me changes.
“A contract. wish.”
their owner.
The guide realized that he had appeared here and was looking down on them.
He continued speaking in a trembling voice.
[contract. What do you want?]
“…Give me the strength to eliminate the forces of evil that are interfering with your great cause.”
[Suppression of the army… confirmed. What is the price?]
The contract begins to progress.
Now there is only one step left.
If only we could say the price.
The contract is fulfilled.
“In return…!”
Guide.
Wonjun thinks these will be the last words he will say.
He shouted solemnly.
“Our…!”
The atmosphere in the crowd is reaching its peak.
Everyone closes their eyes tightly and waits for the final moment.
…however.
“I. we.”
“Our… neck….”
“That… that….”
The leader shouted solemnly.
The end of his sentence.
It started to become strangely blurry.
“…?”
The final moment I had been waiting for nervously.
When that moment doesn’t come.
People who were sitting open their eyes and raise their heads.
“In return. Ours. Our…”
“This guide?”
“A certain carpenter….”
“What happened all of a sudden?”
Contractors gathered in one place.
Their perplexed gaze turned to the guide.
With everyone’s eyes focused.
“…isn’t this.”
Wonjun’s eyes.
It was just shaking in embarrassment.
