The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 227
Episode 227: Save us from evil (1)
Quaaaaang!
The last battle with the Green Mane tribe.
There, Ariela lost many of her troops.
but.
Recovering lost troops was not that difficult.
‘I heard from Borjin that the Green Mane tribe is in trouble.’
These are people who should not have been attacked by a vampire again after being attacked once.
Those guys are busy with the civil war.
Not only was he vulnerable to being robbed by the Changsu’s guild, let alone a vampire.
Although it was a short time.
Ariella was able to replenish a considerable number of troops.
Among them.
-Blood spirit!
The subject of the contract was slightly different.
A powerful shaman.
-What an interesting prey!
-Take just one bite and give the rest to your master!
-Crooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Proud warriors too.
Many were herpes.
‘In reality, they were busy fighting among themselves.’
By becoming part of Ariella’s household.
Monsters who stopped the civil war and appeared united as one.
Looking at it like this.
The synergy between the two groups was quite great.
Seeing them fight together for one goal, the connection is good.
‘Isn’t that unity and solidarity?’
and.
Besides that.
[Vampire Honmar]
[Vampire….]
Monsters that look close to humans.
Those guys were able to become vassals thanks to Ariella.
The implications of this were quite significant.
‘The more awakened people gather, the stronger they become because synergy has occurred between various occupations.’
But Ariella’s soldiers were a little different.
Vampires themselves are a powerful race with a penalty, but that’s it.
Because the characteristics and skills are rather monotonous.
It was difficult to see synergy due to diversity.
Not anymore.
‘Because each monster has different characteristics.’
From the size.
Combat style.
Even the skills that have been passed down to each person.
Although there is not as much diversity as ordinary awakened people.
Nevertheless.
The various characteristics of various monsters created synergy.
“It’s going to be a Muggle…!”
“Tsk. “I can’t believe an insignificant pig would come close.”
Push!
Ariella’s fingernails grow longer and she cuts off those veins.
No matter how hastily created the abnormal eater was, it was a huge lump of flesh that must have had great power.
Wow….
so easy that it’s ridiculous.
I fell to the floor.
“Hehe… Hehehehe!”
Let’s succeed in subduing one monster.
The blonde vampire shouted excitedly.
“This is the true power of nobility…!”
“That’s right, master!”
“Glory to the great master…!”
Looking at that.
I muttered to myself.
‘They’re just so excited.’
Unlike last time when we struggled.
This time, we succeeded in subduing the Abnormal Appetite quite easily.
I understand that you feel good.
“I know you’re excited.”
“These insignificant pigs are no match for the nobles of the glorious night… huh?”
“It’s not over yet, man.”
I feel sorry for criticizing the guys I like.
There’s nothing you can do about it.
That’s right too.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
“Look. “Here we come again.”
yet.
Because the battle is not over.
And somewhere a wall is being destroyed.
A monster pops out from there.
in other words.
“The second batter appears.”
“…Well, I can easily defeat that much…”
Even though a second monster appeared.
Ariella’s face still looked relaxed.
but.
Kwaang…!
Pubububung…!
“The 3rd and 4th hitters also come out.”
“…I’m glad there’s no time to be bored.”
That expression.
Be a little more serious.
Coooooo!
Pow….
….
….
“5 6 7 8. Um, I’m sorry.”
“….”
“It’s hard to even count how many of them there are.”
Let’s go a little further.
The vampire’s face, which was already pale, turns completely white.
“by the way.”
Abnormal appetites keep appearing and destroying buildings.
Even if we can’t make that number, it’s dozens.
“You said you could easily defeat that much, right?”
“….”
“Believe?”
“…….”
It seemed like I was at a loss for words.
Ariella is staring blankly at the people with abnormal appetites with her mouth open.
This is one of the reasons why the soldiers were held back.
No matter how powerful the monster is.
It would be easy to solve if it were just one person at a time.
-Okay…
-Something to eat…!
That means there are a total of about a hundred monsters.
Legion tanks, self-propelled guns, etc.
If we mobilize all our firepower, subjugation will not be difficult.
the problem is.
‘Because now we have to suppress it.’
Suppression and subjugation have different levels of difficulty.
I don’t know how much damage there will be.
I guess those people with big appetites were human after all.
I couldn’t check my abilities using the [Combat Power Meter].
In my experience, each one had roughly the same strength as a green grade monster.
lately.
I’m a monster who had to struggle quite a bit because my compatibility wasn’t that great.
It has a similar level of strength to Bargast.
“…master?”
“huh?”
Ariella realized its strength.
He looks at me and talks to me.
“Well… at least we can’t do much on our own.”
“You seemed confident earlier, but why suddenly?”
“….”
“Tsk tsk… it’s a joke.”
Depending on compatibility.
It’s a level of strength that I, too, have no choice but to struggle with.
“Is there any way I can leave everything to you?”
but.
In other words.
“Dealing with those guys…”
If the compatibility is good.
It might be easier than the ordinary monsters roaming the streets.
[The Adversary Quest is activated!]
[During the quest, your combat ability is doubled only when dealing with the Adversary.
[These are artificially created adversaries. Quest rewards will not be given in case of misuse.]
“It’s my specialty.”
The dagger held in both hands contains great power.
A variety of cooking tools held by [assistant chefs] appear in the air.
[You have consumed the dish!]
[The effect of absolute taste is activated!]
[Culinary effect in effect – 4]
‘I guess 100 people might be a bit much though?’
What can I do?
My job is a chef.
The original thing is cooking.
It’s quite a difficult task…!
[Sound esophagus] [Mudhorn
‘s
Dash]
A small kitchen knife explodes towards the enemy, signaling the start of a full-scale battle.
[Martial Arts – Food reacts to the effects of cooking.]
Me too.
I threw myself after the kitchen knife.
* * *
like that.
How much time has passed?
“Wow…”
I felt something welling up inside me.
I quickly filled it up and spit it out.
Wow!
“….”
Dark red blood covered the floor.
The military uniforms of the corps system were torn here and there, with only traces remaining.
His entire body was full of blue bruises and red blood stains.
“I’m dying, damn it…”
I could barely stand.
Be honest.
I would rather die and be at peace.
dump…!
After leading my tired body towards the wall in the corner.
I sit there and take a deep breath.
“Whoosh whoosh.”
The air that comes in through breathing pumps the heart.
Blood in the blood vessels begins to circulate throughout the body.
Slurp….
The blood of a vampire running through my body.
The body began to force itself to recover.
“Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
Although it hurts really bad.
You don’t have to worry about any injuries.
‘The performance of this blood is quite excellent.’
If I were to die, it would be a waste of time.
As long as you’re alive.
This monster’s blood heals most wounds within an hour.
Actually, the real problem was different.
Quirky….
It’s as if there’s rust between the joints.
My body feels heavy and doesn’t move properly.
‘…Side effects of excessive cooking.’
There was nothing I could do about it since it was a battle that required all my might.
I put my body through a tremendous amount of stress while eating 4 dishes.
‘I felt like I had a terrible cold…’
My body was so heavy.
The good news is…
“But I’m better than those guys.”
sighing.
Let’s look around.
-It hurts, it hurts, it hurts… -I’m afraid
to buy it…
-It hurts, it hurts, it’s going to be mugged…
I was subdued to the point where I was on the verge of death.
The guys are letting out painful moans.
Wouldn’t I be a little better than them?
‘…Now then, check if everything went well.’
I took a breath and observed them closely.
Maybe my thoughts are wrong.
Although I had some concerns.
[Attribute – ‘Chef’s Eye’ is activated.]
[Human Species – Abnormal Appetite]
As expected!
I was able to confirm that it worked as I intended.
‘The job is gone.’
Although it is a human species.
Does that mean he’s not human?
‘A person with an abnormal appetite… is judged to be a monster, not an awakened person.’
Thanks to.
The job itself had disappeared.
Just like in the case of Hyunjin Lee we saw in the past.
“Tsk tsk… “Wow, it’s hard to keep up.”
My job disappeared.
Characteristics and skills disappeared.
in other words.
‘The contract with the devil would have disappeared as well.’
[Divine power recognizes an external entity.]
[An external entity is paying attention to you.]
As if to prove my thoughts.
That presence felt in the air….
[The existence outside fades away.]
I feel it slowly disappearing.
A guy who had to use complicated methods, like contracts and all, to interfere in the world.
Because all those contractors lost their jobs and disappeared.
[He won’t forget this.]
He couldn’t even look down at this place.
I guess it means I have no choice but to step down.
‘What will I do if Ji doesn’t forget?’
Although I was concerned about the slightly disturbing system message.
Well, I decided to just ignore it.
They say there’s nothing better than people who say we’ll just wait and see.
-Oh, it hurts…
Anyway.
They say you no longer have to die from having your head exploded by a devil.
It is also true that these guys do not look any better now than before.
so.
“Okay….”
I guess I should move on to the next step.
Raise your body with difficulty.
Grab a kitchen knife.
“Wake up, you guys.”
“Lord, my master’s master….”
“You gave this command!”
Kicking the vampires who were lying dead to wake them up.
We decide to move on to the next task.
-What the hell….
-What the heck….
I guess I should say I’m glad.
As it hasn’t been long since he became a monster.
Although it would be rare to find someone as strong in spirit as Lee Hyun-jin, it seemed like he still had some sense of reason left in him.
The thing I said I don’t know if I should say is fortunate.
Rather…
it might have been better not to have reason.
“Actually, I was thinking about feeding him something like anesthesia food…”
-Huh…?
After approaching the subdued guys.
Place the kitchen knife on the body.
“But your senior didn’t have that benefit.”
-Really…?
“Besides, I don’t know you all that well yet.”
It’s about imprinting a certain amount of fear into it.
In fact, it might be more useful.
This is it.
I told the soldiers to retreat as much as possible.
Second reason.
“It is true that there is an unfair side, but it is also true that he committed evil deeds…”
That’s right…
I don’t want to show this scene to other soldiers.
It’s a bit like that, isn’t it?
“Think of it as punishment.”
-Stop it…!
“Take it sweetly.”
Suddenly!
Because the monster’s things were mixed up.
A piece of flesh that looks more like a monster than a human.
That piece of flesh.
It was cut away smoothly.
* * *
“We’re done here.”
“Me too, for now.”
Ariella, who was in the middle of draining the monsters’ blood, came to report.
I also speak, wiping the sweat from my forehead.
– Wow…
about 100…
no, about 100 people with abnormal appetites.
The trimming is all done.
Those guys are screaming in pain.
Then next.
‘It’s time to feed these guys.’
Cooking is not difficult.
If there is a problem, is it this number?
‘Because turning Hyunjin Lee into a human consumed a lot of food.’
As many as 100 people.
I wonder if it will be possible with just the materials piled up in the shadows.
Well…
you don’t have to worry.
Fortunately.
Even though my body is very tired, I still have magical power.
Of course, the ingredients in the shadows.
It’s just lying around here.
After cooking all the fresh ingredients that were just prepared.
He puts his hand on it and mutters.
“Five loaves.”
A building destroyed by battle.
The overwhelming amount of food
fills the surrounding area, so much so that even the area around the building is not enough.
“Follow my master’s orders!”
-Feed me, feed me!
The finished dish.
The vampires rush to stuff it into the contractors’ mouths.
‘…I’ll fall behind.’
It’s painful.
The hard work continues.
Even though I have the talent for [large-scale cooking].
I could feel the magical power in my body draining away due to the continued use of the five loaves and two fish.
To begin with, my physical condition was at its worst right after the battle ended.
A feeling of fatigue that makes you feel like you’re about to pass out.
I felt like I wanted to hit the dish and collapse at any moment.
‘Oh my… it can’t go on like this.’
Grind your teeth.
I somehow held on.
I can’t believe I’ve been cooking for such a long time.
-Why… why?
One of the monsters that was frantically devouring dishes.
He opened his mouth towards me.
The people with abnormal appetites who were subdued this time.
Among them, he was a particularly strong one.
-Why is it okay to just kill him? By going through so much trouble… are you causing us pain?
“ok?”
-Have we made such a big mistake? Was it such a big mistake to try to save humanity even a little bit…!
A swollen lump of flesh.
I can’t even imagine what it looked like when it was human.
I can roughly guess.
“I guess he’s the boss.”
This guy endured the effects of my cooking with his mental strength.
Even in this pain, reason remains.
“It’s not really your fault that you’re doing this.”
-what…?
“If I had been trying to punish him for my mistake, I would have killed him like you said. “I’m not some kind of sadistic pervert.”
It’s pretty awesome though.
This guy.
I think you’re misunderstanding something.
“The reason I do this… is actually simple.”
-…?
“I’m annoyed.”
-Gruck… Annoyed?
That devil guy.
What I’m doing is a bit annoying.
While continuing to prepare and fry the meat.
I glance at him from the corner of my eye and give him a rough answer.
“So… I’d like to give you a punch.”
Even cheekily.
A guy who plays with humanity.
What is the best way to
give a guy like that a beating?
‘Return the humans who were his prey?’
It’s not bad, though.
It’s a bit lacking.
‘I said I would come down to earth someday. Then we will do our best to subdue it?’
Although that is also a good method.
As expected, I feel a bit regretful.
“That’s what I thought.”
A being that plays with humans.
The biggest punch you can give to that guy is.
What I’m trying to do now.
That this would be it.
[Caution!!!]
[It is impossible to turn back someone who has strayed from the human path.]
The phrase appears before your eyes.
A phrase that is now quite familiar appears next.
[Do you still want to try?]
As soon as I saw that phrase.
I could intuit it.
‘This… would have never been possible in the past.’
Although there was a time when Lee Hyun-jin was turned into a human.
At that time, there was only one person.
‘Because there are over a hundred people here.’
The idea is to turn them all back into humans.
No matter how great my cooking is.
Something close to impossible.
okay.
If it were me before, it wouldn’t have been possible.
[Spiritual power: 5]
Not long ago, his spiritual power was only 2.
That figure is now.
It had more than doubled and reached the number 5.
When was the last time it went up this much?…
I guess.
‘Was it when Taejun stole this guy’s achievements?’
Unlike the past.
His strength has skyrocketed tremendously.
The number 5 is quite shabby compared to my other stats.
I was sure.
“I challenge you.”
[It makes the impossible possible as much as the divine power of ‘5’.]
As for the effect.
It would be beyond imagination.
