The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 225
Episode 225 Job Change (1)
[Contract]
This is the only skill these guys have.
First of all, it is registered as a skill, but as per the contents.
‘I guess this is the contract these humans made with the devil.’
then.
The way to cancel the contract is simple.
‘Getting rid of that skill.’
in other words.
“Why are you asking for permission from the boss to quit your job?”
“What is that…”
The embarrassed contractors looked at me with eyes full of doubt.
There is no need to explain everything.
‘If you agree with me after explaining it to me, it may be treated as a violation of the contract.’
After I woke up.
I said, looking at the soldiers standing behind me.
“Corporal Jeon Gwang-il.”
“yes. Corporal Jeon Gwang-il.”
“Take the warriors and bring all the monster corpses outside.”
“You mean the corpses of monsters? I understand, loyalty, loyalty!”
Warriors boasting enormous physical abilities.
They run out of the building and begin collecting the bodies of the monsters.
“Sergeant Lee Min-jae.”
“…yes. Sergeant Lee Min-jae.”
“Load a million volts.”
“practice.”
The strongest wizard in the legion.
Blue electricity gathers in Sergeant Lee Min-jae’s hands.
The contractors who saw this were astonished.
“What are you trying to do…!”
“Are you going to kill them all in the end?”
Sergeant Lee Min-jae’s magic.
The power of this has been witnessed directly by the contractors here.
It seemed like he was well aware of its power.
As the saying goes.
It wouldn’t be difficult for Minjae to kill them if he wanted to.
“I told you, right? “I will take care of the rest.”
“…?”
“Oh instead.”
[Desire to Survive] cooking is being applied.
Even though he must have had a desire to live more than anyone else.
‘He overcame that and asked for my freedom.’
then.
It’s not difficult at all.
‘I could give you freedom.’
I could give it to you.
instead.
“It’s going to hurt a little… a lot, right?”
“What is that!?”
We’re not even close friends.
Isn’t it a bit much to give it away for free?
“Well, you still think it’s a bad thing.” Although
the contractors’ eyes
are filled with both surprise and doubt.
“Minjae hyung.”
There was no reason to answer that.
“Firing a million volts.”
“practice.”
I dig it!
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmm”
The awakened people gathered in one place.
Let Minjae’s lightning spread to them.
Shake it off…
The contractors who were just looking at us calmly.
They all fall to the floor.
“…I’ll just say it first. “Youngjun.”
of course.
I didn’t kill him.
“It is not that easy to control the power of lightning so that this many people do not die.”
“no way. “What kind of harsh punishment can I have if I did well?”
“Actually, I was a little scared… no. done.”
Over 100 contractors gathered here.
They all fainted.
‘Because Minjae’s magic is optimized for suppression.’
past.
When Lieutenant Kim was considered a great threat to our unit.
‘The person who knocked out Lieutenant Kim and put him in the cell was Minjae.’
By controlling the power of electricity.
It’s easy to knock someone out.
“By the way… Sergeant Youngjun Shin.”
“huh?”
“What on earth are you trying to do?”
Just as I was about to give the next command.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk looked at me with eyes that he could not understand.
“They were our enemies to begin with.”
That reason too.
It was easy to guess.
“To be honest, if we killed those guys here, no one would say anything. “The no-kill policy that the sergeant mentioned was only for those who did not act hostile toward us.”
“Is that so?”
“It seemed like the other soldiers thought they were going to kill these guys. Either that or put him in a cell and let him rot for the rest of his life.”
oh my god.
It seems like our unit members often talk about some pretty harsh things when I’m not around.
“to be honest. I and the other leaders honestly expected the other way…”
“Huh?”
“that. “You know something like sending it to the sergeant’s subordinates?”
“iced coffee.”
The existence of vampires is basically confidential.
Commander-level soldiers are aware of its existence.
Actually, I am just like other leaders.
When I thought those guys were clearly evil, I immediately planned to turn them into vampires.
actually.
It’s not a bad choice, though.
“That’s not enough.”
“yes?”
Those guys committed evil deeds.
From what I hear, it doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since the contract started.
Besides attacking us.
It would seem that he committed several more evil deeds.
but.
‘The intention consisted of human good will.’
Even if it means sacrificing themselves.
Wanting to save at least one human being.
sacrifice.
“Well, I don’t have any intention of appreciating that sacrificial spirit.”
“Then why…”
“Isn’t it a bit much to ignore it completely?”
I intend to properly punish evil deeds.
That goodwill too.
I think it should be factored in to some extent.
“Well, you don’t have to worry too much. And you know what?”
“…?”
“They said turning you into a vampire doesn’t hurt that much.”
but.
To the extent that the spirit of sacrifice is taken into account.
Also about the price of sin.
I plan to calculate and pay properly.
“I know what you’re thinking, but… it seems like your death is too complicated and difficult. “Is it really necessary to do this?”
“Actually, there is no reason why it has to be that way.”
“yes?”
and.
The reason I go this far is… actually.
What about sacrifice and what about punishment?
It’s not for that reason.
It cannot be compared to such trivial reasons.
The biggest reason for me.
“You seem a little arrogant.”
“…You mean me?”
“Not you, man.”
A human who would have been the master of this world.
Playing with that human like a toy.
In the end, it was something I tried to modify to suit my tastes.
“devil.”
To that guy.
If only I could give you a good shot.
“I thought I could bear with it being a little annoying.”
* * *
Fainted contractors.
They were locked in a nearby room.
“Unconditionally, one room per person.”
“All right.”
When ordering soldiers to detain contractors.
I said with confidence.
“And the engineers, reinforce the room they’re in. “Because it might pop out.”
“yes.”
Even cheekily.
A being that wants to play with humans as it pleases.
devil.
‘The reason contractors are bound by contracts… is because of that [contract] skill.’
To put it the other way around.
If only I could get rid of that skill.
Contractors will be able to regain their freedom.
How to remove a skill.
As far as I know there is only one.
‘Change job.’
This is the case with Ariela.
Her descendants say what her original occupation was.
After turning into a vampire, your job will always be changed to [Vampire Knight].
‘The skills and characteristics I previously had have been deleted.’
That was the key reason why she couldn’t make me a servant.
If I become one of her dependents, my cooking skills will also disappear.
She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to eat my cooking.
‘What’s important is how to change the job.’
From what I have experienced so far.
There are two ways.
One uses Ariella.
Or make him one of his descendants.
Or….
‘I may have slightly wrong eating habits.’
After a while.
Soldiers who brought the corpses of monsters according to my orders.
“Where can I put this?”
“It looks like you want to cook, but if you want to cook, you need to move to an open space somewhere…” “
Huh? “Why are you cooking this?”
“yes?”
“Just looking at it, it looks ominous and doesn’t seem to taste good. “What can you cook with these ingredients?”
Of course he thought I would cook.
The soldiers, who were looking for a suitable location to cook, responded in confusion.
“Then why are these corpses?”
“The room where they were kept.”
I said while looking at those guys.
“Fill it as full as you can.”
“…?”
In those words.
Most of the soldiers were puzzled.
“…no way!”
Just one person.
Did you understand what I meant?
There was a soldier whose complexion was pale.
“Old Corps Commander…!”
Did a bad memory come to mind?
My body is shaking.
A woman speaking with a bloodless face.
“That’s crazy!”
“Aren’t you supposed to be happy?”
To Hyunjin Lee.
I said with a light smile.
Just wait.
“I will make it for my juniors.”
* * *
“…Huh!”
Sudden electric shock.
The man fainted because of that.
Wonjun was soon able to open his eyes.
“W here…?”
The last remaining memory is of a cold-looking soldier.
Intense lightning was released from the soldier’s hand.
Turned countless devil’s minions into ashes with a single blow.
That lightning.
‘hell… is it?’
That lightning struck me.
He must be dead.
Do you think so?
I couldn’t help but be consumed by terrible thoughts.
The being they served was the devil.
And according to oral tradition handed down on Earth.
‘Hell is the devil’s realm.’
Until recently.
Although he was trying to save at least a small number of people by relying on the devil.
Now I realize that that choice was wrong.
Being associated with the devil itself is a very terrible thing.
He himself died from that lightning.
I thought I had been thrown into the devil’s realm.
‘…?’
After a while.
After the brain that had just woken up became somewhat active.
I was able to realize that it was not hell.
‘A familiar shape…’
The shape of the room he was in was very familiar.
The abandoned building they were using as a hideout.
but.
What’s different…
‘Are you imprisoned?’
Doors and windows around.
There were piles of materials that I couldn’t tell whether they were iron plates or something else.
It felt a bit rough, perhaps because it was put together in a hurry.
Nevertheless.
A seal that seems impossible to escape.
‘What are those corpses?’
And all around.
The monsters that protected them until recently.
…maybe the minions they later became.
The bodies were piled up.
‘…why?’
The fact that he was imprisoned.
It wasn’t difficult to realize that.
But that didn’t mean the puzzlement went away.
‘Wasn’t it a situation where you could have killed someone if you wanted to kill them?’
They were completely suppressed by the soldiers.
Killing it wouldn’t have been difficult.
The only reason for confining him would be to obtain information.
I don’t know the exact reason, but at that time, they ‘didn’t want to die’ more than anyone else.
If you threaten with your life.
Any information would have been easily spit out.
There is no need to be confined like this.
Nevertheless, the reason for keeping him locked up like this.
To guess the cause.
Just when I was about to shake my head.
‘…by the way.’
A doubt was rising in my mind.
Push away that doubt.
Coming in intensely.
There was another feeling.
It takes over Wonjun’s mind in an instant.
A wave of intense emotion that is impossible to resist.
Growling….
‘I’m hungry.’
spandrel.
The fact that my thoughts stopped because I was hungry.
Although I myself was dumbfounded.
The reason I was able to feel such an absurd emotion.
It was only for a moment.
“Whoosh… whoosh….”
My breathing became heavy.
A painful moan escapes.
Grumble.
Saliva is leaking out of the mouth.
Both hands that were supposed to wipe away the flowing saliva were holding the stomach.
‘I’m hungry…’
When I was young.
When you were abused by your parents.
When I lived in an orphanage that wasn’t in good condition.
When you are suddenly kicked out by society.
Although he had experienced a life of hunger several times.
nevertheless.
The hunger I felt now…
was on a different level from anything I had ever felt before.
“Well, I need something to eat…!”
With that thought in mind, I quickly search the room.
but.
A room where there is not even a drop of water to drink, let alone anything to eat.
‘I have to get out.’
If there is nothing to eat in the room.
You’ll have to go out though.
The door leading outside was sealed.
Kwaaaaang!
I tried to destroy the wall with the physical abilities of the awakened person.
Has the entire wall been strengthened by something?
He didn’t have the proper combat skills.
Even destroying the wall was impossible.
‘Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!’
Excessive hunger.
They even try to blow away reason.
If the hunger continues like this.
A devil, a being who deceived himself.
I almost offered myself to him and asked him to give me something to eat, but…
I felt something in my mouth.
‘…Something to eat!’
Let’s roll our tongues hastily.
I can feel something stuck between my teeth with the tip of my tongue.
‘A piece of meat?’
He must have never eaten meat.
Why is there a piece of meat stuck in my mouth?
Originally, I would have thought it was strange, but
There wasn’t even room for that.
A piece of meat stuck between your teeth.
The piece goes down my throat.
Very little.
At the same time, my stomach was slightly filled to the point where it was hard to notice.
The smell that piece of meat had.
A subtle meat flavor filled my mouth.
“Well, anything is fine…!”
That yukhyang.
It stimulated him even more.
“Give me something to eat…!”
Reason disappears.
Only anger caused by an empty stomach fills my head.
The aroma that fills your mouth.
That meaty scent makes me crave meat…
‘If it’s meat…’
That gaze.
Head towards the corner of the room.
I don’t know why, though.
I was in this room with him from the beginning.
‘…looks delicious.’
The meat of monsters.
