The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 228
Episode 228: Save us from evil (2)
[It makes the impossible possible with the divine power of ‘5’.]
His physical strength has increased more than twice compared to last time.
Once the effect took effect.
“This, this… … !?”
The vampires were eagerly carrying my food and feeding it to me.
They looked around in confusion.
In a pretty bad way.
People with abnormal appetites were lying on the floor.
Over that body.
“This energy… … .”
“how.”
unidentifiable.
A gray energy descends.
Let’s see what it looks like.
I, too, couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
‘Tangible magical power… … ‘Is it the same?’
I’ve seen power tangible in that form.
The pure white light that erupts when priest-type awakened people treat the wounded… … .
Degree of divine power.
‘Is it not a divine power for nothing?’
This is the energy that surrounds the bodies of people with abnormal appetites.
It’s the divine power of 5 that must have been somewhere inside my body.
A dark gray aura mixed with strange texture and luster.
I was a little embarrassed at first.
What can I say when I look at it again?
It felt a little familiar.
‘steel… … .’
Let that thought pass through your head.
I laughed out loud.
“No, does this part also have to be military-like?”
The job I passed after reaching level 30 was war chef… … .
In other words, it is ridiculous that it was a cooking disease.
The form of divine power I possessed was also steel.
It’s strangely military-like.
‘What do you mean I’m destined to never be discharged from the military?’
anyway.
Let that gray energy fall on the miserable-looking humans.
Slurp… … .
Change has begun.
Those who cut out and removed as much of their blood and flesh as possible.
On that body.
Flesh begins to sprout.
“… … Even looking at it again, it’s a bizarre sight.”
Although they are vampires with strong regenerative abilities.
Even from a vampire’s point of view, it seems quite mysterious.
but.
What is important is not the visuals.
‘If it’s as I expected.’
The first case of a person with an abnormal appetite turning into a human being.
Just like Hyunjin Lee.
‘More than a hundred people with the occupation of [Abnormal Appetite] will appear… … !’
It was.
[An error occurred!]
“Eh?”
A new message window covers your eyes.
“Well, what kind of bullshit is this?”
What an error.
Was this system prone to errors!?
[For unique jobs that can be awakened through special methods, it is impossible for more than two people to exist.]
The cause of the error was immediately apparent.
Lee Hyun-jin, who succeeded in returning to human form for the first time.
Because she was a special case.
I just got a special job.
They cannot give the same job to the second person.
No wait.
That means.
“My fraudulent job copy project… … !?”
It means it doesn’t work.
no.
Failure to copy a fraudulent job is not a problem.
The real problem is.
‘If the guys who returned to human form like this still have the job of contractor.’
A plan to free them from the devil.
This means that the plan will fail.
So vainly.
The moment I thought my efforts were in vain.
[The divine power understands the user’s intentions… … .]
The energy that covered the contractors.
The energy stirred once.
[Guiding awakening in a new direction.]
“……?”
Steel-colored divine power.
Digging into the bodies of contractors.
Coo… … .
Cracking… … .
Something is torn and broken.
It attaches again and you can hear a sound as if it is being put together.
What is happening?
I couldn’t understand it clearly.
-Ooooooo… … .
-Ah, it hurts… … !
Through their painful moans.
All I could tell was that they were suffering at a level similar to what it was like when they were being treated by my hands.
and.
A strange sound rang out like that for a while.
How much time has passed?
[Identification of food ingredients (enhanced)]
[Primates – Human Species – Abnormal Appetizers]
->
[Primates – Human Species (New!)]
They.
The moment when I succeeded in returning to human life after a brief deviation.
[Awakened: Wonjun Choi]
[job : … … .]
The job name appeared before my eyes.
well.
‘… … ‘Maybe it’s not that bad?’
Than you think.
It was very good.
and.
What follows is a system message that blocks your eyes.
[Achievement achieved!]
[Those who were connected to powerful external beings.]
[There are extremely rare cases of people being liberated after making a contract with an external being.]
[I think it may even be the first time in the entire universe that that method is used for cooking!]
[A miracle that is difficult to see even across all dimensions.]
[In the distant future, we have achieved an achievement that will be treated as a legend.]
[Achievement: Chef of Liberation]
[This is the highest achievement of the ‘Blooming Chef’!]
[Rewards are given for great achievements.]
[As a reward, you will obtain the highest quality food ingredient: ‘Perennial Snow Ginseng.’]
[As a reward, you will obtain the trait – ‘Force Feeding’.]
“Sweet.”
It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen you again.
It was an achievement message.
* * *
‘congrat… … Rather, kill me… … .’
The painful times continue endlessly.
Those with weak mental strength could faint shortly after the pain began.
To the chagrin of those who are mentally strong.
Because of his strong mental power, he had to suffer longer than others.
“Puhuhuhuhuh…” … !”
A man called a guide.
Wonjun Choi is an example of that.
“Huh… … Huh… … .”
A time of pain that seemed endless.
At some point, he finally lost his mind.
Let’s open our eyes.
“What about this place?”
The place he was was in an ordinary room.
Let’s look around.
Other contractors were seen sleeping, groaning in pain as if they were having a nightmare.
“… … “Was that just a dream?”
no.
It can’t be a dream.
Apart from the fact that that vivid pain cannot be a dream.
There is no reason for this many people to be lying down and sleeping in this place.
As proof of that.
“Oh, there’s someone who’s already up.”
“……!”
From the kitchen side.
I hear someone walking.
That voice that is somehow familiar… … .
The head of the contractors
A man who sacrificed his life to save humanity.
“Hehehehe… … !”
From Wonjun’s mouth.
A scream of terror erupted.
* * *
“Hehehehe… … !”
“…….”
“Oh, just the same pain as before, please…” … !”
Screaming.
A guy who squeezes out tears and snot.
‘Isn’t he that kind of image? … ?’
Even when talking to me, it seemed like it had some weight to it.
I didn’t know he was capable of making sounds like that.
what… … .
actually.
‘Although I did intend it to some extent.’
What kind of people are these people?
I haven’t checked properly yet.
I know you tried to sacrifice yourself for humanity.
Apart from that.
We still don’t know what kind of dirty parts these people might have.
First of all, I decided to cancel the contract and turn him into a human.
I really care about that part.
The treatment was carried out without intentionally feeding the anesthetic food.
What are the effects that can be obtained from it?
Pretty simple thing.
“Save me… … .”
fear.
Those who have suffered that much.
I feel fear just by looking at my face.
A woman with tremendous mental power who maintained her human spirit even after becoming a monster.
Even Lee Hyun-jin would have done the same.
These are the guys who gave themselves up to the devil because they felt there was no hope… … .
There’s no need to say more.
‘what… … Because there is a crime committed. ‘You should think of it as punishment.’
I feel sorry for them, though.
Thanks to that fear, they are said to be somewhat dangerous.
You can easily control and subjugate them.
anyway.
Let some time pass like that.
“… … “Sorry, sorry.”
“It seems like it’s real now.”
The others also begin to wake up one by one.
Wonjun, who was also their leader.
“… … “Thank you.”
Even though I was still sweating out of fear.
It looks like the situation has calmed down to the point where a conversation can be established.
“We can either work like slaves under the devil and sacrifice our lives… … Or he would have somehow survived and then turned into a monster like other monsters. Never thought it would be possible to escape from that devil… … “I can’t believe it.”
“Well, I tried it half as if I was gambling. “I’m glad it worked out well.”
“then… … “Do you mind if I ask you one question?”
“huh?”
“Why us… … “This is how I was saved.”
Eat.
I think they gave me a rough explanation when they were monsters.
It looks like he can’t remember properly, perhaps because of the pain.
“First of all, there is a manpower shortage.”
“Manpower shortage… … ? “Why did you have so many soldiers with you?”
“Who said it was our unit?”
“……?”
“It’s about this Earth.”
“……!”
As the surviving human race itself is small.
No matter how much power you have to fight monsters, it’s not enough.
“To us… … “It means fighting monsters.”
“Well, that’s it.”
In those words.
A shadow fell on the faces of the contractors.
“… … “By any chance, is that mandatory?”
“huh? “What does it mean?”
“We are truly grateful that you freed us from the devil. So much so that if you order him to fight a monster, he will do so willingly. but… … .”
All contractors seem to have the same thoughts.
I nod my head at Wonjun’s words.
He continued speaking.
“at last… … “It is impossible to overcome this destruction.”
“what the. Aren’t you tired of that story again?”
“I know you are incredibly strong. But, I’ve heard a lot about deals with the devil. Worlds with all kinds of great powers… … “Those worlds also could not avoid destruction.”
“… … hmm!”
okay.
Ultimately, the problem is this.
‘It’s not like these guys signed a contract because they like the devil so much.’
The destruction that will come to this world.
In despair that I would not be able to overcome that destruction.
To save at least a small number of people… … .
They were simply extending a helping hand to the devil who offered to help them escape.
“The plan was to use the devil’s power to escape, but… … “I failed.”
“…….”
“If destruction is going to come anyway, we want to live the rest of our lives quietly until destruction comes.”
A deep sense of despair spread among them.
Unless you can resolve that feeling of despair.
Even if they say they are forcibly given weapons.
There is no way that people in despair can fight properly.
then.
… … under.
‘In the end, is this the only way?’
Although I don’t like it a little bit.
“We cannot overcome destruction. They cannot run away like other races. “That’s why you’re so depressed, right?”
“… … exactly.”
“Then, that is.”
Through our troops.
It’s time to use a somewhat proven method.
“I’ll solve it.”
“… … what?”
That seems to be what it means.
People’s eyes are focused on my face.
“Well, there’s no way something like that would be possible.”
“haha. “It’s impossible.”
It’s like he doesn’t believe it at all
People who look out for each other.
I said with a laugh, as if it was absurd.
“I heard you believed that the devil would be able to help you escape.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“I believed it was impossible to be freed from that devil.”
“That too… … exactly.”
Such a powerful devil.
It would have been impossible to break free from those hands.
“that. “I solved it?”
“……!”
“You’re saying it’s impossible or something?”
On people’s faces.
Enlightenment spreads.
‘It’s the same in the case of the unit members and these guys.’
The reason why Taejun tried to push me towards achievements.
One of them seemed vaguely familiar.
‘There is no trustworthy God in this world.’
then.
This is exactly what this world needs.
“Even though the name ‘devil’ is extremely ominous, wasn’t it quite comfortable while you believed in it?”
“… … “I regret it now, but it was like that at the time.”
“The target just changes. “I will be the object of your faith.”
It gives you faith comparable to God… … .
A powerful being.
“No matter how great you are… … Aren’t we just humans? How can we trust ordinary people… … .”
“I promise you that on my name.”
To give that level of trust.
It won’t be easy.
“If you believe in me and follow me, you can either overcome this destruction… … Even if I can’t, I will definitely find a way to escape this world.”
“……!”
I’ll probably have to suffer a lot in the future.
but.
‘There’s no way to keep my promise to these guys… … ‘It’s not like it doesn’t exist.’
The mountain range where Myoyangsa Temple is located.
A gate appeared underneath… … [Cheonsan Military Official].
‘Inside it is Seohwan and Miho’s teacher.’
Perhaps he took out the Cheonsan military officer and saved him from destruction.
That person.
I just couldn’t get close because it was too dangerous.
He’ll still be inside the gate.
Someday, if sufficient preparations are made.
I might be able to find a way to escape from this world by visiting him.
“… … “Is it really okay to have such ridiculous beliefs?”
“Well, just believe it first. If it doesn’t work out, you can curse later, right? “I trusted you and told you to follow me, so I followed you, but was that a lie?”
Unlike that devil.
I’m not that petty guy who gets upset when someone criticizes me later.
“… … haha. If the world is going to perish anyway. “Is it similar to whether it is destroyed like that or just destroyed?”
“But it would be good to know this.”
“hmm?”
Wonjun laughed as if it was absurd.
He and the others look at me as if wondering what they are talking about.
“If you decide to follow me, you may be treated worse than the devil treated you.”
“…….”
Contrary to my first thoughts.
They were not brainwashed by the devil.
They say it was close to fraud.
What they shared with the devil was ultimately a deal.
but.
‘If you follow me… … ‘You’ll be subjected to something similar to brainwashing.’
These guys had somewhat dangerous ideas.
I gave them fear in order to get rid of them.
Even that is not enough.
In addition to that.
You should eat a lot of my ‘cooking’.
“But I can assure you of a few things.”
“what… … ?”
Feeding a lot of my own cooking means.
In some ways, this is worse than the devil asking for a contract.
But there is something different from the devil.
“When you die, you will die as pure human beings.”
“…….”
“And in the first place… … “Aren’t you even angry?”
“Are you angry?”
“That devil guy.”
The devil forces these guys to sign fraudulent contracts.
I played around with it as I pleased.
“… … “It is true that I am angry.”
“but… … The devil was a powerful being. “What will happen if we get angry?”
“If you choose to trust me, I will promise you this much.”
I don’t know what these guys are like.
I am.
“I’m the type of person who can’t get over death without paying back what was done to me.”
The devil spoke to them.
someday.
He will come directly to this world.
‘Rather good, this is it.’
someday.
When the moment comes for the devil to descend.
“Through you, I will pierce that devil.”
“……!”
[Wonjun Choi]
[Job: Demon Hunter Lv.1]
[What is the entity that knows the devil better than anyone else?]
[They are probably none other than the devil’s minions.]
[There can be no one with as much detail about the devil as those who gained the power and knowledge of the devil under him!]
[When those who were once slaves of the devil gained freedom.]
[They become better demon hunters than anyone else.]
The humans he played with.
Being subjugated by those people is what it is.
[Great Evil Knowledge]
[Naturally realize the actions of evil and how to deal with them.]
[Anti-Demon Knowledge]
[I naturally understand the devil and how to hunt him.]
[Magic Refining]
[You will be able to refine and manipulate demonic energy, the power that originates from the devil.]
[Someday, if you hunt a being that originated from a demon.]
[You may gain the power to hunt powerful demons.]
“How delicious the devil’s meat will be… … .”
To that guy.
Because it would be the biggest way to repay.
“Aren’t you curious?”
