The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 235
Episode 235: The underground mine dug too deep.
Creating the [Magic Storage Reactor] itself was not difficult.
[Magic Storage Furnace Lv.1]
[Construction Conditions – Workers with an understanding of magic concentration clusters – (0/1)]
Unlike existing buildings that could be constructed and developed only by ordinary engineers.
The buildings created when the vimana reached level 2 seemed to require additional special manpower.
Spiritistana when creating artificial spirits.
The same goes for this magical energy storage.
Actually, this part could have been quite difficult.
Should I say I’m lucky?
This part.
“hmm. “I think we can handle it.”
“You guys?”
“…Because it feels similar to what I was dealing with not long ago.”
A demonic contractor who recently joined our unit…
No.
Demon hunters were able to satisfy.
“You’re not even wizards, so how?”
“Didn’t I tell you last time? “Most of what the devil ordered us to do was to increase our companions.”
“ah.”
last time.
I remember what these guys said.
-The leader has the trait of knowledge of evil deeds.
-Through the knowledge gained from that characteristic, you can draw something like a magic circle that stores evil energy in various places…
Something like a magic circle that stores evil energy.
Did you draw it around?
The skills and know-how gained at that time.
That is.
“It seems like it pretty much matches the knowledge needed to make this.”
“Huh.”
It was the same technology as making a storage unit.
That way.
[The facility is complete!]
[Magic Storage Lv.1]
[No!? This!?]
[The worker’s passion and talent shine!]
[The level of the completed facility increases.]
[Magic Storage Lv.2]
[Magic storage efficiency slightly increases.]
The magic storage is completed . Of course.
“Hmm. If we do this well….”
“I think we can also direct the energy of the jinns we created for the devil in this direction. “It may take some time, though.”
“Oh….”
Magic circles created when they were devil contractors.
All of the magical power accumulated there could be stored in the [Magic Storage].
“You guys… you guys have something to use on a daily basis.”
“I can’t pay for all my sins with this, but…”
“I’m glad it helped even a little bit.”
I feel fortunate once again.
What if these guys were just turned into vampires?
We must have had a hard time finding a technician here again.
‘As expected, talent is diverse and we need to look at it.’
hmm.
by the way.
“If I do this, it will be easier than I thought, right?”
okay.
So far, really.
It went so smoothly.
* * *
“All of Wizard Joe has gathered!”
“OK.”
I want to fill the magic power required by that magic power storage.
We gathered all the magicians in our unit together.
Even the wizards who were on an expedition to attack were rounded up.
Maximum magic power.
There.
[Mana Frog Soup with amplified magical power made with all the might of a war chef]
“It’s delicious…!”
“But it seems like the buff is too much…!”
After feeding them the best dish.
Wizards who have gained greatly amplified magical power.
Head to the storage room as quickly as possible before they faint from the side effects of excessive buffs.
I poured all my magic there.
“All wizards, including Sergeant Lee Min-jae. “I fainted due to magical exhaustion.”
“….”
As a result.
All the wizards crawled around in pain for a while and eventually fainted.
“For now, I’m receiving treatment, but it won’t be until a week before I can use magic normally.”
“Okay.”
The operation I attempted with confidence.
It failed miserably.
‘Have you ever failed like this recently?’
It almost makes me think.
“Will it also have an impact on the subjugation of other regions?”
“Although wizards are an important force, there are many other awakened people who can stand in the back line. “The strategy taught by Sergeant Shin is key to carrying out the operation itself, so there will be no major setbacks.”
Fortunately, it did not ruin the operations of other combatants.
Still, the speed of execution will likely slow down a little.
‘No… this damage was originally expected, so this in itself is not a problem.’
Nine out of ten awakened people who eat the dish I tried my best to cannot handle the buff and pass out.
This is something I already knew.
Even at the risk of suffering such damage.
This is magic power created by maximizing the soldiers’ magic power.
I made this by putting as much thought into it as possible.
A dish that amplifies magical power.
nevertheless.
[Condition 4 – The operating magic power of the vimana must be met. (987/10000000)]
Our unit.
It could not even meet 1/10,000th of the horsepower required by the vimana.
‘I served my own food, not another chef…’
He also established himself as a chef in his own right.
I thought I had gained a lot of pride by overcoming crises with this dish.
“My cooking… is not good enough.”
My pride…
was hurt a lot.
* * *
“So what happened?”
Excluding Minjae, who was taken to the hospital room.
The commanders who remained in the unit came to see me and asked.
It’s not something to hide.
I explained what happened in the magic storage room.
“…her.”
“If you listen to the story, it seems like it was a truly enormous amount of magical power, but it was only 1000 at most?”
“To be exact, it wasn’t even 1,000.”
987.
Barely below 1000.
It is less than 1/10,000th of the target of 10 million.
Even half of it was the magic power that the [Demon Hunters] had gathered for the devil.
Our unit’s pure strength was less than 500.
One thing is certain.
Like increasing the magic power of wizards with my cooking.
It is unlikely to be a problem that can be solved that way.
“Hmm… that much.”
“After that, I went to the spirit and asked him how to achieve it.”
The answer was quite simple.
=That part is the mission that the Lord of Seong must accomplish.
He said he was an advisor and all.
When it was really important, he had that kind of attitude.
“…Hmm.”
After hearing the story.
Captain Lee Sang-ah seemed to think for a moment and then said.
“But isn’t this a problem that needs to be resolved urgently?”
“I agree. “Right now, the unit’s operations are going well, so it’s something to look at in the long term.”
In the words of Captain Lee Sang-ah.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk responds.
“It’s just as you said.”
Absolutely.
To complete the special quest, other facilities must also be brought to level 10.
That alone would take a considerable amount of time.
It is certainly true that it is not urgent.
‘You’re welcome.’
the problem is.
They say that enough time has passed to install all other facilities.
The point is that it doesn’t seem possible to fill that number.
and.
Actually, this is something I can’t say to other unit members.
‘The spirit of the fortress declared.’
Achieve all of those perks.
If the fortress becomes level 3.
‘Even if I leave the unit… there won’t be any problems in the unit. ‘You can leave as much as you want.’
Go beyond that wall of fire.
It might be possible to go to Gyeonggi-do to find your family.
This is something you shouldn’t say to others.
The motivation is that the corps commander wants to act alone.
Even if it were me, I would be against it.
but.
‘Personally… it’s something I’m very desperate for.’
To that extent.
“It’s a bit hard to just give up.”
“yes?”
The leader who remained in the unit.
Lee Sang-ah and Seo Soo-hyuk tilted their heads and said.
“It’s a bit hard to give up… even if you say so.”
“There’s no way…?”
“huh? no. “That’s not it.”
“yes?”
My cooking didn’t work.
It hurts my pride a little, but… I have to accept what I have to accept.
‘This just means that my cooking is still not good enough.’
I need to work harder to develop my cooking skills.
but.
“I didn’t say there was no way?”
“???”
I don’t know if it will work or not.
There was only one
way to try….
‘I didn’t have a place to use it, so I’ve been saving it for a while.’
Abnormal appetite.
After succeeding in turning Lee Hyun-jin back into a human.
That’s a huge achievement.
Excessive compensation from the [Job Quest] given to me.
“I’ve been saving it until now, but whatever.”
[Gate Summoning Rights]
“It would be meaningless to cherish it too much.”
This guy.
I think it’s time to write.
* * *
As the fortress level increased to 2, its size grew enormously.
And this wasn’t just about the X axis.
‘The basement has also become deeper.’
The fortress previously had only one underground floor.
[Barracks] were built there.
The maximum number of mercenary soldiers allowed by the level of the barracks continues to be produced.
And this is what is new.
The building built there on
the ‘second basement floor’ was…
[Magic Storage Lv.2]
This was it.
“Wow….”
“Your name is ordinary, but you look fancy.”
If [Barracks] looks like an altar to summon a suspicious demon, it doesn’t fit the name Barracks.
The magic storage channel also did not look like a space to store something.
Rather, what should I say?
“Rather than storing it… it’s an image of sealing it up. What is it?”
“yes?”
Huge pillars erected everywhere.
Bizarre patterns spread throughout the underground centering on that pillar.
A sphere located in the middle of it….
Thick ropes extending from pillars on all sides and tightly tying the sphere.
Could it be because it is a facility created with knowledge derived from the devil?
A strangely eerie atmosphere.
“I tried it once. “It seemed like when magic power was released in this room, that pillar and magic circle absorbed it and stored it in that sphere.”
“Hmm. okay.”
You’re not allowed to use my cooking.
What to write next.
[Gate Summoning Ticket]
[When you enter the desired keyword, a random gate corresponding to the keyword will be summoned.]
[This is a summoning ticket obtained as a special privilege! Bonus effects are added.]
[Beings inside the summoned gate cannot affect the outside unless the summoning authority gives permission.]
“This is it.”
A gate summon right.
It turns an ideal eater into a human being.
An item obtained as a reward for causing a miracle that is rare even across all dimensions.
If you think about what was written in the achievements at the time.
There is a high probability that it is an item that is considered quite rare.
‘I haven’t found a useful timing, so I’ve been saving it until now.’
at las.
That time has come.
[Caution!]
[For the gate that appears, all elements except the keyword are determined randomly.]
[Dangerous gates may appear, so use with caution!]
However.
As written in the warning message, you never know what kind of dangerous gate may appear.
‘I was lucky during the time of [Tianshan Military Academy].’
actually.
Considering the name of the destroyed world, it would not be surprising if there were some monsters inside.
To put it bluntly, an unapproachable monster known as Seo-hwan and Mi-ho’s teacher is sleeping in Cheonsan Military Academy.
So this time.
“First of all, I told the disciples to take a break for a while. “Eun-gong.”
We decided to mobilize as much power as possible.
“Hmm. “It’s a different world gate.”
“Going to a world where people will be in the same situation as us… it feels strange.”
Two martial arts instructors who taught martial arts in our unit.
-Kruk… I haven’t found a suitable environment to raise the children of my race yet, but I think we’re working too hard…?
“So are you dissatisfied?”
-no way. This is just something I tried.
Shaman of the Green Mane tribe.
“First of all, we have summoned all the soldiers who were resting in the unit!”
“There aren’t many combat workers because they are busy with missions…”
And.
Even the unit members who remained in the unit.
‘Although most of them have disadvantages in being production workers.’
The state of gathering maximum power.
‘This alone is quite a bit of power.’
To put it bluntly, we could go on to conquer other cities like this.
This is how much power we have prepared.
They say it’s a gate where a fairly strong monster lurks.
It should be resolved without any problems.
“Then…”
After checking the appearance of those troops.
The right to summons was torn up.
“let’s go.”
[Use the gate summon right.]
What we need now.
[Please select the desired keyword!]
“Horsepower.”
The demand was so enormous that even if our unit members did their best, we could not meet even 1/10,000th of it.
Enough to fill it all.
“I will summon as much magical power as possible… with a keyword.”
[Keyword has been confirmed!]
[Checking….]
[Checking…]
The system.
Check whether there is a dungeon suitable for the keyword I mentioned.
soon.
Oh my….
“…!”
With a terrible sound as if something was being torn apart.
On one side of the storage room, darkness opens its mouth.
[The gate has been summoned!]
I can’t even feel the shadow.
A hole of pure black light.
‘A similar color to the one I saw in [Cheonsan Military Academy]…’
And just as I thought.
soon.
[Fragments of a destroyed world – A gate has been discovered.]
[Fragments of a world that has been horribly destroyed and wanders through space.]
[It is a door that leads there.]
[No one knows how the world survived destruction.]
[ Maybe the disease will spread and you will vomit blood and die the moment you enter the destroyed world.]
[On the other hand, you may be able to find a useful item.]
[The choice is up to you.]
The same phrase as when discovering the Tian Shan Wu Guan. go.
It appears before your eyes.
“…Whoop.”
Just like I said.
A gate where some kind of danger may lurk.
But as always.
‘If you were scared that it was dangerous, you wouldn’t have come this far.’
I am.
I gathered my courage and threw myself into it.
* * *
Faaaaagh!
A black hole gate with its mouth open in the air.
Let’s push ourselves inside.
I feel the surrounding environment changing in an instant.
That wasn’t all.
My body feels a little heavy.
It’s definitely a different world from Earth.
Empty…
Let the thrown body step on the ground inside the gate.
Sreung…
I immediately took out the knife.
I looked around as carefully as I could.
“Enter, enter!”
“Enter while being as alert as possible!”
After me, awakened fighters entered the gate.
“There are no hostile creatures around…”
“I don’t think there are any.”
There was no sign of popularity around.
no.
Let alone pretending to be popular.
“…Why is there nothing here?”
“It looks like an empty cavity.”
Inside the dungeon.
Empty with nothing.
It had the shape of an incredibly wide cavity.
“…?”
It’s fortunate that I don’t have any enemies.
Even if it’s not an enemy, it’s natural that there’s something there.
An empty space.
I was dumbfounded by that fact.
soon.
“It looks like there’s no problem inside, so we’ll go in too!”
Awakened people from non-combat positions.
Entry began.
“…?”
“What are you all doing here?”
“Well… when I came in, there was nothing there.”
Even though they are non-combatants, they are nonetheless awakened.
Just like I can fight as well as ordinary warriors without any buffs.
When they come together, they become a great force in their own way.
In any case, they were brought in as a temporary support team for rear support.
“There is nothing…”
“What do you mean?”
“ok?”
Unlike other soldiers.
As soon as they entered the dungeon, they broke into a cold sweat as if they were impressed.
“…haha. “What the hell is this thing…!”
“It’s no joke. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something this rare.”
What they are looking at.
Not left or right, front or back, or up.
‘under…?’
under.
Let’s look there.
[Food Ingredient Identification (Enhancement)]
The [Oreichalcos for Sealing]
attribute has been activated.
[It is a rare mineral called Oreichalcos that has infinite potential to be used for any purpose depending on how it is processed.]
[After special processing, its performance as a sealing material has improved, but it cannot be used for armor, etc. [Ro-]
“….”
Only then did I realize it.
This gate.
The destroyed world was not this empty cavity we find ourselves in now.
Rather.
A little further down.
“Sergeant Shin. “Our engineers have a characteristic called [Material Identification].”
“The name and purpose of the material can be confirmed by its characteristics…”
We are stepping on it.
under this land.
“This seems like a very dangerous place.”
Let’s realize that.
yet.
[Underground mine dug too deep – Morzan]
As if trying to confirm our thoughts.
A status window appeared in front of me.
[Dwarven, a race boasting powerful technology.]
[They completely conquered their world with great technology and succeeded in creating a huge empire that enslaved all other races.] [They were
smaller than others and not as strong. Race.Dwarven.]
[There is one reason why they were able to reign as the world’s losers!]
[It was thanks to the underground mine located in their capital, where magic stones were mined endlessly.]
[The Dwarven were able to mine the magic stones endlessly mined in the mine . Collected, studied, and processed.]
[They were able to establish a great magic civilization.]
[Those who established a powerful empire.]
[Everyone had no doubt that that glorious era would last forever.]
[The mine was so rich that Until you dig deeper!]
“….”
“…Uh, what can I say.”
[They dug too deep.]
[The Dwarvens ended up stimulating something that was sleeping beneath the mine.]
The gate was clearly summoned as we intended.
but.
[A great magic civilization and a huge empire that encompassed one world.]
[Dwemorjan was destroyed in just one day.]
‘What a bloody thing.’
Its contents.
It was a bit bloody.
