The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 245

Episode 246: The master of magic’s

face turns pale.

A vampire viscount looking at Sergeant Shin Young-jun.

Ariella.

“No… I don’t understand what you’re thinking. “I don’t understand, but I figured it out.”

“what? “Speaking gibberish.”

“Of course.”

Ariella seemed to be wondering what on earth she was talking about.

I looked at Sergeant Youngjun Shin and asked again.

“You really want to visit the being who destroyed that great civilization? “Do you really need it?”

“uh. why? “Why not?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done, but…! no. “It won’t work!”

Ariela shouts as if she is dumbfounded.

“If I touch it wrongly, not only me and my master, but also the world above can be destroyed!?”

“Ah… you don’t have to worry about that part.”

“yes?”

“[Gate Summon Ticket] This is a pretty good reward.’

[Gate Summoning Rights]

[The summoned beings inside the gate cannot affect the outside unless the summoning authority gives permission.]

Unless Sergeant Shin Young-Jun gives permission.

Beings inside the gate… cannot affect the outside.

“…Still, it’s suicidal.”

She said with a frown.

“Hasn’t the goal of coming here been achieved? “I don’t know why you even want to go there.”

“You don’t have to know.”

In those words.

Ariella thought to herself.

‘There’s something strange about the current master.’

I was a person who usually overextended himself.

But there was always a basis for that group.

The benefits are certain.

It’s for the sake of our allies.

Otherwise, I’m confident that it won’t be dangerous.

now.

None of this applies.

So…

Ariella could guess the reason deep down.

‘It must be a problem related to the master’s spirit.’

past.

Ever since she sucked Shin Young-jun’s blood and read part of his memories.

One thing I was vaguely aware of.

‘Master… is extremely afraid of death.’

That in itself is not a big problem.

To put it bluntly, who in the world is not afraid of death?

but.

Is it because the environment of this destroyed world does not allow humans to be normal?

Sergeant Shin Young-jun looks fine on the outside.

The fear and obsession with death was distorted to the point of being grotesque.

If only he wanted to avoid death that would come someday.

I didn’t care about putting myself in an environment where I might die.

‘A behavior that is contradictory in itself…’

How distorted is that obsession.

The easiest example to understand.

[The one who didn’t die properly]

And that’s because Sergeant Shin Young-jun is like that.

It is impossible to just pass by the being below.

“I roughly understand. But there’s no way, right?”

Although the relationship is bound by a semi-compulsory contract.

She didn’t just hate this owner.

No matter what.

The food he served was something she wanted to eat, even if it meant sacrificing everything she had.

If the master dies, the grace bestowed by the master will also be cut off.

“No matter how much you are the master, it would be difficult to delve into the place that is even more toxic than here.”

“Well… that’s also true.”

so that.

I was trying to persuade him somehow.

“But you know what?”

“yes?”

“No matter what.”

Those steps have already been taken.

It was heading down there.

“You don’t know until you try, right?”

“…!”

* * *

“No matter how much you are the master, it would be difficult for you to delve into the place that is even more toxic than here.”

actually.

Her point wasn’t wrong at all.

Ariella had already been invaded by the poison.

After reducing the damage as much as possible with the resistance of the protective clothing.

The rest is covered by regenerative power.

Although I also have my own regenerative powers thanks to sucking her blood.

Unlike her, who is a real vampire, my regenerative power, which is only at the level of imitation… I

won’t be able to handle all that poison.

“No matter what.”

But what can I say?

“You don’t know until you try, right?”

I think it will work.

I felt strangely confident.

“master!?”

Let me step into that miasma.

A startled sound is heard from behind.

Passisisisik….

‘Hmm. indeed.’

A level of venom that goes beyond imagination.

It made me wonder if ordinary objects would melt as soon as they touched them.

Is it impossible to stop it even with protective clothing and Nepenthes’ resistance?

Due to excessively strong miasma.

I felt my skin burning little by little.

but.

I took a step forward again.

“master! “You will never be able to bear it.”

“You have to try it to find out.”

past.

I remember the chemical, biological and biological training in which I was provided with defective gas masks.

Chemical, biological and radiological training that all trainees underwent with great nervousness.

I went into the chemical, biological, and anti-bacterial room without knowing that I was wearing a defective gas mask, and soon after, it was filled with gas.

The skin of my entire body was hot as if on fire.

When I opened my eyes, it felt like dozens of sharp needles were being stabbed into me.

Even breathing is extremely painful.

I had to suffer from the fear that I would literally suffocate to death if I held my breath due to the pain.

Terrible times.

‘I really thought I was going to die.’

but.

‘Even then… I somehow endured it.’

I was shocked at how others endured it.

From the past.

I was confident in one thing: enduring it.

“It’s not normal, master… really…”

“I told you… I didn’t want to hear it from a monster!”

Enduring the pain caused by the miasma.

I went deeper and deeper underground.

Soldiers, of course.

An area that even vampires cannot handle.

Only I can step into it.

In the depths of this mine.

but.

I thought I might be able to get there.

‘There really isn’t much left now.’

Of course.

Unlike the basement so far, which was only dark.

Down there.

‘light.’

The light that Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk saw from above. Because

I’m

starting to see it too.

* * *

“Kuhuh….”

Even though I only thrust my body in for a moment.

I feel like my whole body is on fire.

It wasn’t just the skin that was burning.

eyeball.

Between the fingernails.

Inside the mouth and between pores all over the body.

A thick miasma that causes burning pain.

I can feel it digging into every crevice of my body.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm…”

I felt like I would lose consciousness if I made a mistake due to the excessive pain.

After somehow groping my body.

I opened one of the pockets on my waist.

Let’s open the pocket slightly.

Several types of beef jerky were seen protected from the miasma.

[Combat rations for miasma resistance made with the best effort of a war chef]

In case the original protective clothing is damaged.

In order to somehow withstand this miasma and return to the ground.

A dish that could only be taken out of your pocket and eaten once.

‘If you eat this… you will not receive any additional buffs when returning to the ground.’

Even if you can somehow manage to go down.

This means that you will not receive any help when going up.

It will probably be a huge pain.

If you make a mistake and faint down there, you could be marinated in this poison until you die.

but.

Tsk tsk.

‘Since when do you say you start thinking about future events?’

I am.

He opened the bag and stuffed the combat rations into his mouth.

Jellyfish…

before the poison even gets on the beef jerky.

Chew it as quickly as possible and put it in your mouth.

The sweet juices of the meat are leaking out.

I felt the poison that was filling my mouth being pushed out little by little by the juice.

-Tiring.

[The cooking effect has been applied!]

[The cooking effect is strengthened and applied due to the effect of ‘Absolute Taste’.]

[Currently applied cooking effect – (1)]

[Attribute – White Poison Sting]

“Kuhhh… . “It’s a little better.”

The tingling feeling still remains.

Still, I don’t feel like I’m going to die.

and.

That wasn’t the end.

Due to the small number of these bags, only one was issued to each unit member.

Because once opened, poison invades, so it is pointless to put more than one in.

What was usually put in the pockets of other unit members was just one dish.

but.

‘I’m different.’

[Due to the effect of ‘absolute taste’, cooking effects are applied multiple times.] Even

if you eat multiple dishes at once, all effects are applied….

A Gaegigi trait.

It has these characteristics.

Is there any reason to include only one combat ration?

[Currently applied cooking effect – (2)]

After the beef jerky goes into the mouth.

Simultaneously with the recording from above….

[Currently applied cooking effect – (3)]

Inside the body.

I feel a force that is too much to bear.

[Currently applied cooking effect – (4)]

[White Poison

Invulnerability] [Sleipa’s Clan]

[Honmar’s Strength]

[Masir’s Muscle]

“…Whoop!”

Traits to resist miasma.

In addition to [White Poison Invulnerability], various characteristics were applied.

‘Cooking duration is short.’

so.

After reaching the basement inside.

We must find a way to resolve the toxicity of this gate.

Crackle…

Let’s give strength to our feet.

The mighty power of Honmar rests in your feet.

Masir’s elastic muscles accept the force.

Lastly, let’s push out the foot hard with the semi-foot of the sleipa.

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

At breakneck speed.

A body flying towards the underground!

‘As quickly as possible before the cooking effect ends!’

At the fastest speed I have ever felt in my life.

I started running towards the deepest part of this underground mine.

* * *

Miasma….

No.

Filling this underground mine.

[Pain, sorrow and resentment]

That is.

It was getting darker as I ran towards the basement.

Farsi-sik….

despite applying additional resistance characteristics.

So much so that I felt like my body was burning out.

‘It’s still bearable.’

okay.

The damage caused by the poison was quite bearable.

Because I survived chemical, biological and biological training well with a broken mask.

but.

The problem was not the pain caused by this miasma.

The pain, sorrow, and resentment gradually deepen.

Because it was a different story from simply becoming stronger.

-It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

“…!?”

While running towards the destination.

An unidentified voice echoing in my head.

That voice…

was screaming full of pain.

“Are you the owner of this mine!?”

-It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…

“Answer me!”

I shouted at that voice.

No answer came.

Why did I really want to come here?

This guy is suffering because he couldn’t die properly.

I also wanted to relieve some of that pain.

but.

This doesn’t really mean I’m nice.

That wasn’t the reason.

[Spiritual power: 8]

[Spiritual power recognizes some kind of existence.]

Something inside my body.

It was because I was very conscious

of that guy .

‘When I think about it, the first time I got this intuition was…’

The miasma of that mine.

The point at which it changed from [Poetry] to [Pain, Grief, and Resentment].

in other words.

The guy who is spreading those emotions.

It means that something inside me is being pulled.

“What on earth are you…!”

What kind of guy is this?

Even though it has the power to destroy a world.

Are they suffering underground like this?

“What are you doing… pulling me over?”

why.

Are my stats responding to that guy?

I definitely have to check it out.

Because I felt that way.

‘It’s not bad if you don’t answer.’

I continued heading underground.

If he doesn’t answer.

‘I’ll stop when I see it with my own eyes!’

With each step you take.

I can feel the emotions filling this space becoming even more intense.

-It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

pain.

-Why, why, why, why, why, why, why.

heartbreak.

-I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive.

resentment.

“…Kruk.”

Like a parrot.

A guy who just gives off the same emotions.

The result of those emotions continuing to build up over a long period of time.

This place is like a deep swamp.

It was filled with an incredible density of hatred.

‘It feels like the emotions are being stabbed directly into my head…’

I’ve only had this experience once.

The characteristics of the mental language that the Pope used felt similar.

‘Damn, it’s an amazing ability just by looking at it…’

According to the information in the system message.

That guy must be like a half-corpse.

‘I can’t believe I have this much power in that condition.’

It gave me goosebumps.

but.

No matter how deep the waves of emotion block me,

[The divine power of ‘8’ nullifies external intervention!]

I.

I gritted my teeth and headed down to the basement.

A being with this much power.

Why does such a thing exist?

‘I couldn’t even die here… I wonder if I’m repeating that echo.’

somehow.

To check.

I ran like that for a while.

The 20km underground point that the engineers originally set as the expected breakthrough point has long since been surpassed.

Is it because it dug so deep?

‘What is this scene again?’

As my thoughts deepened.

Little by little, the sight I had seen before my eyes began to blend together.

It wasn’t difficult to guess what was going on.

‘The absurdly deep thoughts are starting to affect my vision as well.’

The sight before my eyes was nothing special.

Tiny creatures walking on the ground.

A vast natural landscape that seems untouched by civilization.

With thick darkness.

The image of a monster staring at me, dead in pain.

‘What kind of scene is this?’

What can we say about a magical civilization?

Although the landscapes that are quite wild are blocking the view.

Ignoring everyone, I gritted my teeth and ran towards the basement.

“Finally…”

I said.

I was able to reach my destination.

‘cave?’

Shining with blue light.

A beautiful place that does not fit into being the deepest part of a mine.

and.

What is at the center of it all.

‘A huge piece of flesh?’

It’s incredibly huge though.

An ugly, grotesque lump of half-rotted flesh.

What I was looking for

[A person who did not die properly].

It was there.

no.

To be precise….

‘A part of [the person who did not die properly].’ What is

this guy doing that

he is stuck in a place like this and rotting like that?

It wasn’t difficult to solve that question.

[Identification of food ingredients (enhanced)]

And.

The answer to the question I had.

It was quite shocking.

[Divinity that did not die properly]

[Master of Magic – Morzan’s chewed flesh]

“What?”

I wonder if what I just read is correct.

There was no time to check properly.

[Morzan, a world filled with abundant magical power.]

[A being who shares the same name as that world and once reigned as the main god.]

[A person who shares the concept of magic and is a great person with endless magical power.]

[Morzan’s thigh flesh. It is only a small portion.]

[It has died for some reason, but its excessively high status and resentment prevents its complete extinction.]

[For cooking, first trim the flesh to an easy-to-eat size.]

The closer you get, the thicker it gets. True emotions.

That overly dense thought.

[Extremely dense thoughts penetrate the mind.]

[The divine power of ‘8’ protects the user’s reason!]

“…!?”

The memories contained within it.

It started to get into my head.

* * *

A terrible feeling, as if something was forcibly digging into my head.

After feeling that sensation.

The first feeling I felt was.

Dominating my whole body….

‘A sense of absoluteness.’

Feeling like I can do anything.

It was a transcendental feeling that overflowed throughout my body.

…like.

I feel like I am a god.

and.

‘…It’s not an illusion.’

When I open my eyes.

I was standing in the middle of a natural spectacle I had never seen before.

It was overlooking a huge mountain range.

okay.

You are not just looking at a huge mountain range… but

high in the sky.

He was ‘looking down’.

‘How tall is this guy?’

Not me.

Through someone else’s eyes.
