The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 265

Episode 266: Water Drop (2)

I am a monster to him.

He handed me a bottle containing [Blue Water Drops].

=This is…!

Let’s see it.

I could feel Vimanar being very surprised.

This guy said that one obtains spirit and body by replacing the nucleus of a life form with a nucleus.

It didn’t specifically say that spirits were the only targets.

“how is it? “Like you said, it’s something with a core.”

The thing inside the bottle is something that looks like slime.

And floating in the middle of it all.

It was a small core.

[Blue droplets.]

The early days when our unit came down to earth.

They were struggling because they couldn’t get food other than meat.

This is truly a monster that was successfully subdued at the beginning of the play.

‘When I think about how the kids who joined back then have now become full-fledged soldiers… it really seems like a long time ago.’

My older sister became a squad leader-level soldier.

Even though the younger brother has grown slower than the older sister, he has become a great wizard.

It really was a long time ago.

At the time, most water droplets were successfully killed by piercing their cores.

In the case of those that wizards killed by spewing out magic.

It succeeded in rendering it incapable of combat, but failed to destroy the core.

Our unit separately collects those who remain in a state of fainting.

It means that it has been stored until now.

And the important thing is this.

These guys have the ability to mimic other living things.

‘It’s original form is closer to slime.’

And the weakness of the slime-like body is none other than its own weakness.

It is the core of the center.

“How do you feel? “Is this enough to make me flesh?”

=Of course. No, rather…

there was no facial expression that could express emotions to the spirit core.

If there was an expression on his face, he wouldn’t have been very surprised.

=It’s a magic creature with incredibly advanced technology.

“ok? Is it that much?”

=If you think about it, the level of technology is similar to that of Babylonia, which built this fortress, but it seems to have developed in a different direction

.

It seems that these monsters were all survivors from somewhere in the destroyed world.

The story is that this water drop is also an object created by another civilization that was destroyed.

‘I don’t know what level Earth’s technological prowess is, but… it’s probably not the best.’

I don’t know if it’s technology related to war.

The rest seemed difficult to keep up with things from this world.

=What the Lord of Seong said was right.

Vimanar said with admiration.

= It cannot be compared to any ordinary spirit… On the contrary, it is an excellent spiritual body that would have been difficult to create even if Babylonia invested a huge amount of time to create it…!

“okay. If you know, now….”

= I will take over the body that is more than enough.

Pong.

I open the cap of the bottle.

Let’s tilt the entrance and point it at him.

grasp!

The spirit core that penetrates into it.

[!@$?!@?$!?]

Although they were subdued by us.

A blue droplet that survived for a long time thanks to its weak point [Core] not being destroyed.

That guy seemed surprised by the sudden infiltration of the spirit core.

It flutters with tremendous force.

A battle between the core and the core is taking place that I cannot understand.

After a while.

-Tiring.

A familiar notification sound.

It rang in my ears.

[Congratulations!]

[The spirit of the fortress has succeeded in obtaining a new spirit and body.]

Vimanarga.

A message that it was successful in hijacking the body of that water drop.

and.

That wasn’t the end.

[The spirits of the fortress are designed to unconditionally follow the castle lord’s orders.]

“Huh?”

The message in the status window follows.

[The oath of obedience, which was originally not perfectly established for some reason, has been completely reestablished.]

An oath that was not perfect for some reason.

The reason is probably that he was able to act against my will.

and.

That part was corrected so that there would be no problem by ordering it again.

Only now.

That guy….

[Obtains a vassal!]

[Affiliation – Drop Vimanar of the Legion]

Following Ariella.

He became my second in-law.

* * *

Purr.

Fully poured from the bottle.

Small water droplets fluttering on the floor.

It was originally close to silver.

Now it looked a little closer to gray.

What can I say?

‘It’s similar to the wall of a vimana.’

Is it because the spirit of this fortress has taken over the body?

It feels like even the color has become similar to that of the fortress.

“It seems like a success.”

=Yes, Lord Seong.

and.

The slime-like form began to purr.

Within.

Jjuuuuk….

expanding big.

It will soon take shape.

“As the Lord of Seong declared. “It’s great spiritually and physically.”

“uh? Uh….”

Human shape.

He’s taller than me and quite handsome…

‘Why aren’t you wearing clothes, you idiot?’

It was a naked man.

“…What is that appearance?”

“The spirit body stolen by this spirit… [Blue Droplet] possesses the ability to mimic the surrounding environment or reproduce the appearance of other living creatures.”

Unlike when talking about the state of the spirit core.

The guy who answered me in an obviously male voice.

“This form is this spirit body… one of the bodies that [Blue Droplet] can imitate by ingesting it. “For now, I just chose any of the human bodies and transformed into them.”

Does Vimanar find it surprising that even he himself is drunk?

He was turning his body around.

“This spirit only thought that it would obtain the spiritual body of another spirit… but it never imagined that it would be possible to obtain a spiritual body with such miraculous abilities. “I can’t help but admire the Lord’s wisdom.”

“Uh huh.”

In the form of a man I see for the first time.

No, not even.

“That’s it. “At least put on some clothes.”

You praise me like that completely naked.

Honestly, I’m a little embarrassed.

“The guy I fought with at that time was wearing clothes, so why is naked by default for you?”

“During the process of hacking the core, there was resistance from the original core. Some loss of information was unavoidable. “We judged that the information about the item the absorbed creature was equipped with was the most unnecessary information, and if it was going to be lost anyway, we decided it was right to destroy that information.”

“…Vampires! “Please bring out a military uniform for him to wear.”

Soon the vampires in the shadows took out their spare military uniforms and brought them out of the shadows.

Vimanar picked it up and put it on.

Military uniforms are basically clothing worn by all soldiers regardless of gender or age.

It wouldn’t be too bad for a guy who can take on many looks to wear.

I turned my head only after confirming that he was fully clothed.

by the way.

If you say that [blue droplet] is one of the forms it could take.

‘It must be one of the humans this guy ate… I guess.’

There was a high possibility that the original owner of that body did not exist in this world.

From what we guessed.

Because the blue water drop could only transform into the form of the being it swallowed.

“…Is there any information about that body?”

“there is. “It’s not that detailed, but there is information about abilities and names.”

“It’s a name. “What was your name?”

“This is a man named [Lim Cheol].”

Lim Cheol.

Lim Cheol-ra…

“I’m 25 years old. As an awakened person, your level was 4 and your occupation was a swordsman. “My job before awakening was as a manager at a cafe.”

At first, I couldn’t tell who that name was referring to.

As I looked back on my memories.

There was one name that made sense.

‘A group of survivors who were protecting siblings Lee Soo-yeon and Lee Soo-hyuk.’

The two awakened people who were there.

The name of one of them is… –

I think he called me

Cheol Oppa….

“Is that Cheol your brother?”

Although it is almost certain given the circumstances.

Just in case, I decided to check one more thing.

A group that was protecting two siblings.

It was clearly the name of the awakened person who served as the leader of the group.

It was Aunt Suni.

“Is there a woman named Shun among the things that belong to you?”

“It exists.”

With that said.

A shape-changing Vimanar.

The face was definitely familiar.

‘At that time… The exact way these guys transformed at the supermarket.’

I’m surprised or not.

Vimanar continued his explanation.

“The name is Sun Na-yeon. He is 29 years old. His level as an awakener was 6, and his occupation was a shield master. My occupation before awakening was an office worker at a marketing company. “The unique thing about it is that it is the most powerful form of life that this water droplet can reproduce.”

“Was Suni your last name?…”

I heard that Suni was an ajumma, so I thought it must be her first name.

I never thought it was a surname.

Anyway, this is it.

The looks this guy can take right now.

It has become clear that they are members of the group of siblings Suyeon and Suhyuk.

‘…I guess I should explain it to those guys in advance.’

Humans who were eaten by water droplets.

You never know what would happen if two siblings who were in the same group as them saw this.

“…Hmm.”

“huh?”

While I was thinking about that.

Does he want to feel something?

He had his arms spread out, his eyes closed, and he was breathing calmly.

“This is very interesting.”

“Interesting?”

“This is the feeling felt by beings who were born in this world and live in this world…”

The guy who opened his eyes muttered with an expression of deep emotion.

“As you know, Lord Seong, I am a being created in another world. “I felt a sense of alienation in the environment of this planet, which was different from the world I lived in.”

“ah.”

“This body doesn’t feel that strangeness at all.”

If you think about it.

Even for me, whenever I enter a dungeon.

I had to feel pain in that very different environment.

The decline in stats was basic.

“Rather… I feel secure that this is where I belong. “This may be rude to real people like the Lord of Seong.”

Doesn’t it mean that the opposite is also natural?

For otherworldly beings, Earth is a different environment.

It is said that only those who were somewhat active survived.

It’s bound to be uncomfortable.

‘…Maybe all the monsters we’ve encountered so far were in a weaker state than they were in their original world.’

The current Vimanar is an exception.

This guy uses the ability of [Water Drop].

That part was solved by recreating the human body.

“It was just as the Lord of Seong said. This water drop can be said to be the most suitable spiritual body for this world. “It would be overwhelmingly more useful than the spirit’s body.”

“I’m glad it’s worth using.”

“Then I will return for now.”

“huh? “Return?”

With that said.

With a pouting sound.

A spirit core protruding from inside the military uniform.

“…What, is it okay for the spirit core to fall out?”

“it’s okay.”

=It’s okay.

“!?”

Let the spirit core return to the center of the communication room.

The spirit’s voice and the voice of a woman named Aunt Suni answered me at the same time.

“How is it that you left your body and can still talk?”

“As I said, it is closer to hacking into the core of this spirit and body and making it part of this fortress rather than allowing the spirit core to enter the spirit and body. The core that the droplet contained has now belonged to the main fortress. You may want to check it.”

In those words.

I opened the fortress’ information window.

[Under Troops]

[Degraded Dragon Soldiers – 250]

[Legion Drops – 1]

“Oh…”

It’s definitely as he said.

It seems that the water drop itself is determined to be a soldier belonging to this fortress.

“Wait a minute, that means”

“Do you have any questions?”

“Are you saying that if it’s a life form with a nucleus, you can return it to the fortress in this way?”

If such a thing were possible.

‘This guy can’t be the only monster with a core.’

To put it bluntly, that spirit of darkness too.

Unfortunately, it was just subjugated.

If I could somehow capture it alive, I would have been able to use it as my spiritual body.

okay.

If you separately seek out monsters with cores like that.

There were many people who would collect related monsters in exchange for [battle rations].

It shouldn’t be that difficult to collect monsters with a core like that.

‘If only I could attribute all the monsters I collected to this fortress…!’

Our unit.

You will be able to gain tremendous power.
