The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 267

Episode 268: My Meat (1)

That morning.

Jeong Soo-ah, just like she always does.

A small group of like-minded people.

So, after creating a club or something.

“When I was working in the ammunition battalion, the trees moved on their own to follow the corps commander’s path…”

“Ah, it’s such a sacred thing.”

“Even nature cannot block the path of the corps commander. It’s a shame I didn’t see it with my own eyes…”

With them.

A draft of the Bible was being written.

“The voice that was heard in that magic that happened this time….”

“Of course I have to record it.”

“I had an equal conversation with the Godhead, which is clear evidence that He already possesses that level…!”

Her benefactor’s achievements so far were more than just one or two.

A feat so incredible that it would not be surprising if each of them were written down in history books.

but.

There was one thing that I regretted so much that it made me cry.

All of them.

The point was that he did not succeed in seeing all the achievements of his benefactor in person.

Good things are multiplied when shared.

so that.

After collecting his achievements with those who share his thoughts.

It was decided to compile it into a book and share it with everyone.

“Actually… my benefactor briefly returned to the 423rd Battalion not long ago.”

“That happened?”

and.

The thing that played the biggest role at such an event was, of course….

“It wasn’t an official event for the unit, so it’s normal for you not to know. I am that. What can I say? “I was watching it secretly through the spirit just in case something happened.”

“Oh oh…!”

A person who can see most things through spirits.

It was Jeong Soo-ah.

“I was secretly watching through a spirit.”

A comrade tilted his head and pointed out.

“That…sounds a bit like stalking?”

“Uh-huh!”

“What nonsense!”

“conflict!!!”

After the harsh training for the person who spoke nonsense for a moment.

Jeong Soo-ah triumphantly explained the scene that only she had seen.

“I can only see, but I can’t hear… What I saw was someone who I thought would never be able to walk in his life standing up.”

“Oh…”

“Actually, I heard a story from some demon hunters who joined recently…”

Something like this.

The work of publicizing the greatness of the benefactor has been carried out steadily.

Now, of course, within the unit.

Even outside the unit, those who learned of its greatness began to gather and hold meetings periodically.

Of course, they don’t even have a name for themselves.

Although they call it just a small gathering without any strict rules.

Now, of course, the scale is by no means small.

It can be said to be the second force established within the corps.

If it’s natural, then it’s natural.

She wasn’t doing this for her own benefit.

‘Your benefactor is a great person. Everyone must know its greatness.’

To make many people aware of the existence of this great person.

And by becoming aware of its existence.

This dangerous and despairing world.

It was to give hope that one could somehow survive within it.

‘…Of course, it’s not that I don’t have a personal desire to know the achievements of my benefactor, which I haven’t seen.’

anyway.

Because that wasn’t the main purpose.

Even while doing such activities, she was always cautious.

Because he wasn’t sure whether his benefactor would like his actions or not.

It might be a burden.

so that.

Even if I was caught by others, I tried my best not to be caught by my benefactor.

And yet.

“The things I have done….”

While I was in the process of producing a Bible that made me feel happy.

She was called by her benefactor as a spiritist.

There…

=The power of the forces dependent on the castle lord within the fortress increased rapidly. This will be a big limitation on the Lord of Seong’s actions.

-Well, I guess so.

A shocking story.

I had to listen.

“On the contrary, you were blocking the path of your benefactor…”

These were words that even his benefactor was positive about.

Even though she may not be able to repay the favor shown to her by her benefactor.

Rather, it was only hindering them.

‘iced coffee.’

If there is a mouse hole, I feel like I want to go in.

A sense of despair comes over me.

I felt my vision gradually becoming blurry.

‘Then… what should I do…’

Without even thinking about hiding my embarrassed attitude.

She goes down the stairs of her inner room in despair.

“…How can I do it? “You have to make a decision.”

She promised, wiping away her tears with her sleeve.

Even if you say it wasn’t just for yourself.

It is also clear that his personal desires were mixed in.

‘It was fun for a short time, but I guess I’ll have to stop here.’

What if her actions are harmful to her benefactor?

Disbanding their group should also be considered.

* * *

“As the lord of the castle said, it would not be good to eliminate that dependent force.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I will provide direction to those dependent forces that are currently growing without any discipline or guidelines. “We are intervening so that their power can grow in a direction that is helpful to the Lord of Seong.”

Those who have become too dependent on me.

They may come in handy later though.

For now, it was just an element that hindered my movement.

but.

“Can you give me permission?”

This guy intervenes with them.

This means that I will try to change that direction in a way that is helpful to me.

‘Sure… it might not be so bad if this guy steps forward and cleans it up.’

If you have any concerns.

Also, I was concerned that people might do strange things under the pretext of ‘doing this will help the Lord of the castle.’

“I’m asking just in case, the ‘benefit of the castle lord’ that you prioritize now… I guess it’s the same as the standard by which I judge it, right?”

“yes. “It wasn’t the case originally, but due to the Lord’s order a few hours ago, I am currently acting on the assumption that the Lord of the Castle is the one who judges the benefit, not me.”

“okay. “I guess so.”

Now, an order has been added to determine the benefit ‘based on my standards’.

actually.

Because of that, he became my [subject].

‘Unlike the system message that says [act only for the benefit of the castle lord]… the oath of the clan is quite thorough.’

The former could be freely interpreted depending on who makes the judgment about the benefit.

The latter is a stage where even such arbitrary interpretations are not tolerated.

Ariella, who had become a member of my family, was truly swearing loyalty to me with no way out.

The rest of the system is pretty sketchy, though.

The relationship between these [subordinates] was quite thorough.

Even if it causes physical harm to me, I allow it if it helps me.

Even if it’s beneficial to me, I can’t do it if I’m reluctant to do it.

Powerful bondage.

If that’s the case.

There’s no need to worry too much.

“If it benefits me, do whatever you want.”

“thank you.”

The guy nods his head happily.

“It is an unstable group right now… but if we create a proper system and establish a code of conduct… it will definitely be of great help to the Lord of Seong. Please look forward to it.”

“Well, you take care of that part. “Then what do you ask for?”

“There is one more thing, but I don’t think this is something you should worry too much about. The bodies of defeated monsters usually go into food storage, but I wanted permission to consume some of them.”

It wasn’t difficult to figure out the intent of the request.

“It is used for the transformation of [water drops].”

“you’re right.”

Although right now they are just 10 people who are low level or have not even awakened.

The potential that that [water drop] had was not at best this much.

Monsters with various characteristics.

Even if the characteristics of those monsters are slightly weakened.

Being able to reproduce their appearance exactly.

One of the characteristics I possess is the superior compatibility of absolute taste.

To utilize those strengths properly.

It was said that we would absorb the monsters that our unit had defeated.

“Like you said, there won’t be any problem. “Do it.”

“thank you.”

“Instead, report the list of monsters to be absorbed to the commander-level soldiers and absorb them after receiving permission.”

It seemed like that was all he wanted to get my permission to do.

There was a lot going on, but for now it seems to have been roughly resolved.

‘ah.’

Normally, I could just leave like this and return to work, but…

“Oh, by the way.”

“Do you have any questions?”

“You said that if you eat a monster, you can transform into that form, right?”

Let’s think about that part.

one thing.

There was a part that came to mind.

“That transformation. “Do I really have to eat the whole thing?”

“What do you mean?”

“So… in the case of rare monsters, even though they are caught and put in the refrigerator, there may be cases where body parts are missing. “In that case, I think it might not be possible to reproduce it.”

“iced coffee. That’s what it meant. “You don’t have to worry about that.”

Of course, I thought that a complete individual was needed for that transformation.

That didn’t seem to be the case.

“The reason the droplet must consume the object in order to reproduce it is to obtain sufficient genetic and magical information.”

“okay?”

“If we succeed in consuming only about 80% of the target’s body, we can implement it without any problems. Even if more than 20% of the body’s organs are lost, genetic information still contains a record of those parts. “The lost parts will also be reproduced as is.”

It’s about 80% of the body.

In fact, any being that absorbs that much will die.

There are cases in which a person can be cloned by this thing while still alive…

‘It’s not like there are none.’

The object that comes to mind.

There was.

“Then one more thing. For example, let’s say there is a being with tremendous regenerative power.”

“yes.”

“Some part of that guy’s body… something like thigh flesh? Feed that to you consistently. Let’s say the amount fed like that reached more than 80% of the animal’s original body mass.”

“…yes.”

“In this case, only one part of the body was fed. Can you still imitate that object?”

“It is possible for now.”

I knew it.

‘In the end, what’s important is [enough quantity].’

This does not mean that you have to feed every part of your body.

“Just….”

“Just?”

“It seems that the object the castle lord spoke about was probably with the [Nobles of the Night] in mind.”

A being with that much regenerative power.

There are only vampires in our unit.

“My realization rate is never high, and especially in the case of the castle lord’s family, they are very powerful beings. Even if I were to take that form, it wouldn’t mean much due to the ever-dropping implementation rate.”

The guy.

It seems they thought my question was asked with vampires in mind.

“Even if we were to imitate the castle lord’s family like that, its power would not be as strong as that of a single family created by the castle lord’s family.”

“Oh, that’s right. Of course I know. “I didn’t particularly intend to tell people to copy vampires.”

That’s natural.

In the first place, Ariella is enough to increase the vampire army.

“Ah… I guess it was just a question out of curiosity.”

“hmm?”

“I’m sorry for pointing out something pointless.”

okay.

I had no intention of copying vampires.

but.

“If it’s just a question out of curiosity… that’s not true.”

“yes?”

A being with such regenerative power.

It is true that there are only vampires.

however.

If we add a few more conditions there.

‘Exactly. There’s only one more person.’

I look down at my hands.

I muttered in a low voice.

“No matter what, it won’t be easy to regenerate to that level… but the lack of regenerative power can be solved by cooking… and it would be enough if we even bring medical soldiers with us.”

“…?”

“hmm. The pain may be a bit severe, but if you add a source like [analgesia] for that part…”

“Lord Seo?”

To my self-talk.

The expression on the face of Vimanar, who had a human body called ‘Sunnayeon’.

It appears to be suddenly distorted.

“hmm.”

Either that or not.

I opened my mouth with confidence.

“also. “I think it’s quite possible, right?”

Even though I have probably never used a human body before.

The expression on [Legion’s Droplet] is…

“…No way, Lord of the castle!”

Extremely humane.

It was an expression of astonishment.

“Even just thinking about cancer. “You say you can alleviate anxiety to some extent by fighting public opinion, but you’re saying that the unit members will feel anxious when I disappear.”

“Lord Seong… that thought!”

“So you’re saying it’s best not to disappear in the first place… or to not even notice that it’s gone even if it disappears?”

For example.

He looks just like me.

You can imitate my abilities to some extent.

He knows my behavior patterns intimately.

Like appointing a great pinch hitter.

“This is crazy!”

“I think so too… but you know what?”

An artificial spirit that is said to never do anything that would harm the lord of the castle.

I am to that guy.

I decided to give an order that would cause [terrible damage] to me.

“I heard from Ariela. She said my blood is quite tasty.”

then.

“Wouldn’t meat be worth eating to some extent?”
