The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 300

Episode 300: Snowstorm (2)

When I first heard the smell of blood.

To be honest.

I was thinking of just ignoring it and moving on.

‘Even though I’m worried… I’m also in a hurry.’

That humans are dying.

If you think about the original purpose of my moving to Gyeonggi-do.

It’s something that has to be dealt with somehow.

Reason was shouting like that.

‘Parents’ safety comes first.’

My family is now missing.

They might be alive right now.

The moment I am a little late.

Those who were alive until this moment.

Because of that brief difference, he might be found dead.

okay.

My parents weren’t missing until I realized I could overcome that barrier.

It was as if he had gone missing after making sufficient preparations and crossing the barrier.

like that.

Although I felt sorry, I tried to ignore the noise and run away.

“If we keep going like this, I think we’ll run into each other…?”

“….”

What was unexpected.

The direction in which those humans are fighting.

It was the same direction I was heading.

Gyeonggi-do is a large land.

It’s like smelling blood.

Even if we assume that it is possible because vampires have an excellent sense of smell.

‘On the shortest path to the cause of that cold… these are humans who happen to be fighting?’

If you think about it.

Why are there people in places like this?

I was a little puzzled.

“What are you going to do? “Master’s master!”

“Shall we just ignore it?”

but.

If they say they are on the path I am heading towards.

“…under. Shit.”

After thinking for a moment.

He said with a sigh.

“It would take longer to avoid the battle and go back for no reason.”

If you take the shortest route anyway.

An enemy that has no choice but to collide.

then.

“We solve it as quickly as possible and we go where we were going.”

“Hmm. All right!”

like that.

I decided to intervene in their fight.

* * *

When I first arrived at the scene.

What I heard was….

“Charge?!!!”

A loud voice commanding an assault.

And it was a scene where the magic contained in that voice spread everywhere.

When I witnessed that situation, I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide.

‘What about that?’

The magic contained in that voice wasn’t affecting me either.

The action of that kind of power itself.

It was quite familiar.

‘Similar to Lieutenant Kim.’

The amount of magical power felt itself is less than that of Lieutenant Kim.

The effect itself seems to be similar.

I don’t know, though.

Like Lieutenant Kim.

There is a high possibility that it is a group that includes people with peer-type abilities.

‘The group that included the wide area buffer was attacked.’

I have some rough information about the human side.

I decided to look in the direction where the humans were attacking.

but.

It wasn’t easy to see.

‘Are they taking advantage of the snowstorm?’

Even the sun was covered by snow clouds, so the ground was still dark.

There was a blizzard there, so visibility was extremely limited.

Those attackers seem to be trying to take advantage of that view.

It seemed like they were fighting to keep their distance from humans.

‘…hmm.’

the problem is.

Even though the speed of the charging humans was considerable.

Those who were moving away from them were also moving away at an incredible speed.

How is it moving at such speed in this environment?

Even though they were at a distance that made them invisible due to the blizzard, how did they accurately determine the location of the humans and attack them?

There were a lot of questions, though.

One thing was certain.

‘If it’s like that, I’ll wither and die if I just keep chasing it.’

I don’t know if the person who released that ‘peer’ knew that and gave the order to attack.

However, it seemed clear that if things continued that way, it would be a defeat for the humans.

There is something fortunate about it.

‘The siege net is not thick.’

The figures behind that blizzard were numerous.

Do those figures think that they will never be defeated by humans?

The area covered by one shape was quite large.

Even if you just eliminate one of them.

It seemed like there would be a route for those people to escape.

‘Even if you can move at incredible speeds… you’re only moving in a direction away from those charging humans.’

As long as the movement path is clearly visible.

‘You won’t be able to avoid me sneaking up on you.’

As for catching up.

It won’t be difficult!

[You have ingested the Legion’s Droplet Jelly made with the care of a war chef!]

[The attribute ‘Environmental Assimilation’ is acquired through the effect of absolute taste.]

A world filled with a pure white snowstorm.

In that world, my body turns white and blends in naturally.

Soon they become completely one.

Now the effect of ‘Absolute Taste’ does not stack.

When ‘Environmental Assimilation’ was applied, the ‘Cold Resistance’ that had been applied before disappeared.

I felt the cold piercing my bones.

‘Resolve it as quickly as possible.’

like that.

I have completely assimilated into the snowstorm environment.

After approaching the humans who were being attacked.

“I will pave the way.”

“what?”

“I’m busy too, so you guys can handle it on your own from now on.”

I left only those words.

Immediately distance yourself from those people.

They moved after the figure that was surrounding them.

The monster is moving to avoid the humans that have appeared.

My side, which was hidden, couldn’t even pay attention to it.

A blurry shadow visible beyond the blizzard.

After moving towards that shadow as fast as possible.

‘Cut.’

[The chef’s eye activates.]

[Enlightenment of the secret of advanced cooking – ‘How to prepare Frost Hunter Pantheon’ is acquired.]

[Enlightenment has already been obtained.]

[The acquisition of enlightenment is nullified.]

Hidden in my shadow With two vampires.

I cut down that figure.

[Acquire experience points.]

And.

As I was cutting through it like that, I realized.

‘This guy.’

The monster I just cut down.

It’s a monster I’ve already dealt with.

[Frost Hunter Panteron]

This monster that looked like a white monkey was like a wild animal that lived in a group.

A monster that is difficult to spot in the snow due to its pure white appearance.

‘It was definitely in the northern branch’s warehouse.’

In this Gyeonggi-do.

It was also a fairly common monster to find.

so that.

I couldn’t help but wonder.

‘Didn’t these guys just throw an ice spear or something?’

not only.

They even moved quickly through the snow as if they were swimming in water.

Something like this.

‘It’s not an ability that the Pantheron I know has…?’

Frost Hunter Panteron is a fairly strong monster, though.

It’s just a truly beast-like monster whose only physical strength is strong.

This was not a guy who displayed such unusual abilities.

What exactly is that ability I just saw?

When you are wondering.

[’15”s divine power detects a foreign presence.]

“Huh?”

A huge monkey-like monster in front of you.

inside it.

[I felt] something unidentifiable.

It was definitely inside this monkey.

Let me break that monster’s body in two.

He wandered here and there as if he had lost his place.

Within.

It broke away from Pantheron’s body.

‘What is that…’

I thought it was a parasite like a zombie.

That’s not true.

The sight of him moving around so freely inside that monster’s body.

‘As if the material form did not exist.’

I reached out my hand for something.

Sreuk.

My hand just passes by something in vain.

There was nothing to catch.

no.

To be exact.

There was nothing to catch.

There was something I felt.

‘Is it cold…?’

That something can only be felt as the influence of [divine power].

You can’t even hold it in your hand.

I couldn’t even activate [Food Ingredient Identification] because I couldn’t see it.

Nevertheless.

It was very cold.

-!?

Let my hand pass by.

It seemed as if he was greatly surprised.

It moved roughly.

It flew away somewhere.

and.

The moment it disappeared into the distance.

‘Just a little bit.’

I am.

I was able to realize one thing.

‘The temperature has risen.’

The moment something disappeared from this place.

This place.

It got a little warmer.

That moment.

An intuition passed through my mind.

‘A characteristic that lowers the surrounding temperature.’

Let that guy disappear.

The temperature around you has risen.

Because of that guy’s presence, the temperature around him dropped.

‘Me and I were running in a straight line towards the epicenter of that cold… Overlapping paths.’

I encountered this guy.

It was the shortest route to the epicenter of that cold.

Although there is insufficient evidence.

My gut was screaming at me.

“These are the guys.”

The cold blanketed Gyeonggi-do.

and.

People who have gone missing.

“Those guys…!”

I was on my way to find it.

That’s exactly the cause.

* * *

What I was looking for.

The cause of that coldness.

The cause is that ‘something’ that just disappeared.

My gut was screaming at me.

‘I never thought I’d be able to face the cause already.’

but.

There was only one problem.

“I couldn’t see it.”

Although I could feel it due to the influence of [Divine Power].

It wasn’t visible to me.

and.

What this means is simple.

‘The discernment of ingredients and the chef’s eye are powers that only come into play when I see them myself.’

Like no other being discovered so far.

Although I could not escape observation due to those skills and characteristics.

This time was an exception.

Even though I found the enemy I was looking for.

It was a situation where the characteristic to obtain that information could not be activated.

It was a very disappointing situation.

Nevertheless.

“…Haha!”

In my mouth.

Laughter leaked out.

“found…!”

I laughed.

Monsters that are probably closely related to the disappearance of their parents.

I never thought I could get to that clue so quickly!

Not being able to get information was fatal.

There was a way to solve it.

[Strength: 15]

Moving around somewhere inside my body.

This unidentified stat.

This stat made it possible to feel a presence that was not originally felt.

‘If this is the power that makes the impossible possible.’

When I discovered its existence again.

It may be possible to ‘see it’.

For that purpose.

first of all.

After I woke up.

I looked around.

– Break through, break through!

-I’m not sure, but it’s an opportunity! We must escape now!

Let me kill one monster.

Only then did we break through the gap in the siege that had formed.

Humans trying to escape could be seen in the distance.

and.

They flocked in to hunt those humans.

Unidentified shapes too.

“I missed it at first, though.”

I’m holding a sword.

Toward the place where those figures are.

“I won’t miss the second time.”

towards them.

I tried to take a step, but…

-Wheeiiiiiiing-!

Right at that moment.

The snowstorm was already hitting my face with intensity.

I could feel the snowstorm getting even thicker.

“…!?”

It was already hard to see what was ahead.

Now the snowstorm has become so thick that you can’t even see what’s right in front of you.

-Wheeeeeeee…!

That swirling sound.

like.

‘Are you angry?’

Anger at missing the prey.

It sounded like a scream expressing it.

and.

Was it not my mistake?

-Quung…

Beyond the thick snowstorm.

In a place where nothing can be seen.

something.

Very large footsteps were heard.

‘…indeed.’

Hiding their presence through [Environmental Assimilation].

Although it is said that he assassinated a monster.

‘I’m not so crazy that I can’t even notice that much… Is this it?’

In this blizzard.

Probably their territory.

Just as that ‘Pope’ found my place using environmental assimilation underwater.

Those guys too.

Is it possible to find my location if I put my mind to it?

Cooung…

.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Whoops.

Squeak…!

Beyond the blizzard where you can’t even see an inch ahead.

With excessively large steps.

The cries of countless different beasts.

and.

[Combat Power Meter]

Beyond that blizzard.

Countless colors shining in the invisible fog.

‘They must have been very upset about releasing those humans.’

I felt it coming towards me.
