The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 352
Episode 352: Attack Team (2)
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… Kang
Jae-ho faces a powerful enemy named Hwa-yeon.
He thought, turning into a huge bear with a nervous expression.
‘That woman is definitely my natural enemy.’
but.
Even so, he couldn’t believe he had sent her to him so blatantly.
“It’s too obvious.”
“…?”
That moment.
Trap…
from behind that bear.
There was a man walking with a relaxed expression.
“Haha, long time no see, Hwa-yeon!”
“…you are?”
The person who appeared as if to guard Kang Jae-ho’s side was.
Now that all of the association’s elites have disappeared, he is a warrior competing to be the strongest in the association.
Eastern branch’s [Spearmaster]
“Uncle Yoon Chang….”
“What is it, Jae-ho is the oppa and I am the uncle?”
It was Heo Yun-chang.
“…I thought you were guarding the rear?”
“Oh, did you?”
Heo Yun-chang belongs to the eastern branch of [Architect].
As a spearman, he was better than anyone else at defending certain areas.
I guess so.
During battles like this, he often took on the role of escort protecting the awakened people in the rear.
‘I thought you’d be bickering with the assassin by now…’
That’s him.
I can’t believe I’m at the forefront of this battle.
“No, actually, I would have done the same under normal circumstances.”
Heo Yun-chang scratches his head and sighs.
“Someone asked me to take care of this part, saying he would take care of that part himself.”
“…?”
“Not long ago, he was a man whose face I didn’t even know, but now he can’t refuse orders… Well, anyway!”
He held the spear with both hands.
He said while swinging it in the air.
“To be honest, I don’t think I can beat Ms. Hwa-yeon. “I tend to be good at self-objectification.”
“….”
“by the way.”
To the side.
-Grrrr….
A huge bear stands with its claws exposed.
“If it’s 2 to 1… I guess that’s pretty worth it, right?”
“…Hehe.”
In those words.
Jang Hwa-yeon said with a faint smile.
“If it’s 2 to 1, it’s worth it.”
Her hand moved lightly.
“That is a big mistake. mister.”
“…Oh really?”
Paaaaaaaa!
Intense heat.
The entire battlefield was turned upside down.
* * *
‘Whoo! ‘That’s hot.’
The extreme heat melts even the accumulated snow.
Heo Yun-chang thought in the midst of the most powerful wide-area magic among all the humans in Gyeonggi-do.
‘But… I wasn’t chosen to be this woman’s partner for nothing.’
Jang Hwa-yeon’s firepower is already well-known in the association.
When speculation arose that she was likely targeting Kang Jae-ho.
The first person mentioned as a counterpart was Heo Yun-chang.
The reason is simple.
[Skill – Vacuum Spear]
[Stretches out the spear powerfully, creating a vacuum around the area.]
Right away.
Because I had this skill.
Paang!
He held out his spear.
A huge hole opened in the curtain of flame that was sweeping the entire battlefield.
“…what!?”
Heo Yun-chang and Kang Jae-ho threw themselves through the hole.
It seems like he didn’t expect that it would be possible to break through his magic.
Jang Hwa-yeon’s expression is slightly distorted.
No matter how powerful the fire is.
Heo Yun-chang was able to drill a hole in the middle of it.
“…Okay, let’s see!”
Grumble!
Against Heo Yun-chang who was approaching.
Jang Hwa-yeon continues to spread magic.
Heo Yunchang is Heo Yunchang-daero.
We continued to advance, breaking through that magic through the [Vacuum Spear].
‘The duel between a wizard and a warrior… is actually simple.’
If only Heo Yun-chang could somehow approach Jang Hwa-yeon.
No matter how strong his firepower is, Jang Hwa-yeon cannot avoid his spear.
On the other hand.
No matter how much Heo Yun-chang can pierce her fire screen.
The number of times the skill can be used is not infinite.
Heo Yun-chang may be intercepted before he even approaches.
The conclusion was simple.
Was the approach successful?
Are you failing?
That’s the only difference.
‘If there is a variable….’
-Crueooooooo!
existing on this battlefield.
There may be many other monsters.
“We’ll take care of these guys!”
Fortunately.
The intervention of other monsters is being prevented by the awakened members of the expeditionary force.
Heo Yun-chang continued to run towards Jang Hwa-yeon.
“…Sigh, so stupid.”
The moment Heo Yun-chang was about to extend the spear.
Jang Hwa-yeon took a step back and began to walk away from him.
If it was original.
No matter how powerful a wizard is, he is bound to be slow compared to a warrior with overwhelming physical ability.
But…
‘…I can’t really narrow it down!’
Against Jang Hwa-yeon, who runs away.
Heo Yun-chang felt that the distance was not narrowing at all.
Jang Hwa-yeon is incredibly fast.
That wasn’t the reason.
Rather the opposite.
‘I slowed down.’
Heo Yun-chang looked down at the ground.
Thick, frozen snow.
Even huge ice blooming everywhere.
This environment made it impossible for even the awakened to move freely.
On the other hand.
[Frozen Soul Belsnickel]
[The soul that Belsnickel is attached to is immune to all penalties caused by the cold and can share all the abilities that the soul itself possesses.]
Those.
It was not at all adversely affected by this environment.
at that time.
-Crung…!
A huge bear was running next to Heo Yun-chang.
Jae-ho Kang puts his hand down on the floor.
[Rapid Growth]
Jang Hwa-yeon was running away while continuously scattering magic towards Heo Yun-chang.
A thick tree trunk appears beneath her feet.
It moves as if it has its own will.
The tree trunk that tried to grab her ankles.
but.
“A meaningless thing!”
Good luck!
Jang Hwa-yeon’s light finger pointing at once.
The tree trunk was burned away.
The pattern of the battle that unfolded thereafter was a repetition of this.
Two people running towards the enemy to close the distance.
Jang Hwa-yeon runs away leisurely and continues to accumulate damage.
Damn it….
Scream!
After burning one more tree trunk that broke through the ice.
Jang Hwayeon said with a mocking smile.
“Oppa… are you an idiot?”
“….”
“I know that I can’t tie my ankles with something like this… so why am I consuming meaningless magic power?”
Kang Jae-ho and Heo Yun-chang ignored Jang Hwa-yeon’s words.
I silently narrowed the distance between me and her.
and.
At the end of this long battle….
growl…
“…ugh!”
The one that gained the upper hand first.
It was Jang Hwayeon’s side.
* * *
No matter how much you try to clear a path through a vacuum window.
All damage cannot be eliminated.
“Heo… heo….”
The two people who were chasing her had their entire bodies charred by fire.
It looked like it was on the verge of burning to death.
“…I think it’s over.”
Jang Hwa-yeon thought the battle was almost over.
Slow down your step backwards.
“Whoa… It’s hard. It was such a waste for both of them. “If I had a little more strength, I could have caught up.”
“….”
“Hehe… don’t worry too much. “We don’t know each other and I won’t kill you.”
She smiled, touched her face, and opened her mouth.
“You two will be my brothers and sisters.”
“…brothers.”
“In particular, Jaeho’s abilities have many useful uses… I hope he will work hard for our hometown.”
“Well, I’m grateful that you gave me such a high opinion.”
At her words.
“Because I only have one older brother. “I don’t like that.”
The two of them.
Finally, I threw myself away.
“…Anyway, it’s stupid.”
Below her words, she sighs and takes a step back.
Kwajik…
appears by breaking the ice.
One tree trunk.
“I didn’t see Jaeho like that… I guess he doesn’t have the ability to learn?”
She didn’t even try to avoid the stem.
He stretched out his finger toward his feet.
Good luck!
Powerful flames warm beneath her feet.
She tried to walk lightly, but…
…boo!
“…uh?”
From beneath her feet.
I felt something strange.
* * *
At the strange feeling beneath my feet.
Jang Hwa-yeon lowers her head.
Let’s look beneath those feet.
What’s there…
“How?”
I thought it had already been reduced to ashes by her fire.
It was that tree trunk.
“…Whoa, I’m going to die from this!”
Kang Jae-ho, who was in the shape of a bear.
“Hwayeon’s magic is definitely my natural enemy. But…”
He doesn’t seem to have the strength to maintain that appearance any longer.
He said, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he returned to his human form.
“But it’s so obvious that you’re coming to shoot me so openly.”
That she will come.
It could have been predicted a long time ago.
“Me too… I’m not the same person I used to be.”
“what…!?”
Nevertheless, what came forward.
It was because I was confident.
lately.
Jaeho Kang felt a surprise he had never felt before in his life.
‘The dry land suddenly becomes rich… All the trees on the earth were singing of supreme happiness.’
A man showed it to him.
It’s a scene so amazing that it’s hard to believe it even when you think about it again.
and.
The sight only surprised him and did not end there.
As the earth’s intelligence becomes full.
He produces food faster than ever.
We have been able to feed countless people.
[Achievement achieved!]
This is.
Because it was something that could be called an achievement.
[These people are so starving that they look like they are about to starve to death!]
[You succeeded in saving many people by giving them sweet fruits!]
[This is an extremely rare feat for a druid who is a combatant, and is also the first of its kind among humans. ]
[You have brought about great change in the world by succeeding in saving many people!]
[Reward will be given to the protagonist of that change.]
[Title – Druid of Relief] [
Attribute – Verdant of Protection]
What I got as a reward.
A druid with a title that grants enormous bonuses in food production.
One trait.
[Guardian’s Verdant]
[Once a day, you can temporarily summon a wood attribute creature with [All Damage Resistance (Advanced) and All Element Resistance (Advanced)].]
He could never have obtained it with his own strength. .
By saving countless people thanks to someone’s help.
It was a powerful power that could only be obtained.
‘It’s a trait I recently acquired, so it’s difficult to utilize it properly…’ But
its potential…
is beyond imagination.
“Why isn’t this… burning!”
Grrrrrrrrr!!!
Although Jang Hwa-yeon, a powerful wizard, continues to breathe fire.
It might burn.
Without even breaking it.
Thick tree roots that firmly keep their place.
“…It’s definitely a strong power, but it’s difficult to use.”
“what…!?”
“The problem in particular was that it grew too slowly compared to other trees. Even if you are an awakened person who has just awakened, you can avoid it as much as you want. “It was difficult to use at all.”
“…!”
surely.
The tree trunk that was approaching her ankle was very slow.
If you wanted to avoid it, you could have easily avoided it.
But…
“Like Hwa-yeon… unless you try to burn it rather than avoid it.”
“…!”
Even while trying to close the distance as much as possible.
Kang Jae-ho deliberately consumed his magical power to summon ordinary trees at her feet.
‘For this moment.’
She.
So that no one feels any threat from the tree trunks he summons.
“Nonsense…!”
“Even if I think about it, it doesn’t make sense.”
Kang Jae-ho sits down on the floor, exhausted.
He said, stroking his sweat-soaked hair.
“If it weren’t for him… I wouldn’t have been able to obtain this ridiculous power.”
“It’s him…?”
That moment.
A huge shadow appeared above Jang Hwa-yeon’s panicked head.
Jang Hwa-yeon noticed that and raised her head.
Bah!
What she could see.
All there was was a huge spear swinging at her head.
* * *
“Mr. Jung-gu, wasn’t he a person who was extremely servile to those who were stronger than him?”
“…I think it certainly did.”
Meanwhile.
A strong man in the old association and a man who commanded all the warriors.
[Intermediate Knight Lv.28]
Jung-gu faces Park Sang-hyeon.
He said, scratching his head with a small hatchet.
“Uhm, but.”
“hmm?”
“I know it’s not Sang-hyun, but… I guess that thought was what Sang-hyeon was originally thinking, right?”
When the humans of the association thought.
Park Joong-gu is definitely a strong player.
The mainstream assessment was that he was a bit inferior to the five executives of the guild.
“I guess I must have misled Sanghyeon about something.”
…but.
That’s just other people’s perception.
“The reason I treated you so kindly wasn’t because you were stronger than me. You will only know who is stronger when you see them in person. “This is my theory.”
“…haha.”
In those words.
Park Sang-hyun said with a gentle smile.
“Then why have you always been so humble to me? “You pretended to be so strong, but then you acted like you had 10,000 tails… It was really fun to see.”
“….”
“why? Because I’m older? Or is it because I was a much better person than you, who was nothing before the destruction? “But what reason are you trying to give?”
“Well, the reason is simple.”
Even with Sang-hyeon’s provocation.
Jung-gu smiled lightly and said, as if he didn’t care.
“The president of the association asked me not to challenge the executives.”
“…what?”
That moment.
Sang-hyeon’s face, hidden under the helmet, distorts ever so slightly.
“What was the reason the president of the association bothered to come to me and ask for such a request… Ah! “Yes, that’s right.”
It seemed like he remembered it only then.
Park Joong-gu makes a funny expression while smoothing his chin.
“If the executives of the central association are defeated by the leaders of other branches, their status may be shaken! So, please don’t challenge the executives or something like that!”
“….”
“Kahaha… I had no choice but to endure it because it was a request from the president of the association. “Now I can finally speak with confidence!”
While the knight’s face is rotting away.
Jung-gu said, holding the huge ax with one hand.
“Sanghyun, no… Sanghyun.”
The tip of that axe.
Park Jung-gu aims at the enemy.
“Someone who is weaker than me is talking rudely to you.”
“…Haha!”
Park Sang-hyun’s long sword and Park Jung-gu’s large axe.
swung at the same time.
