The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 355
Episode 355: Traitor (3)
A huge sword strikes.
That moment when I thought I was going to die.
Kaang!
“…hmm.”
Blocking that great sword.
Two humans appeared.
“President of the Tongue Association!?”
“Cough…what…are you doing!”
A man’s voice looks embarrassed.
A woman’s voice full of pain.
Upon hearing that voice, Yunseong felt tears welling up in his eyes.
“Chief Seo…!”
A voice that is more familiar to him than the president of the association.
The leader and vice-leader of Combat Team No. 4 of the central branch of the association he belongs to.
[Seo Young-hee]
[Lv. 24 Intermediate Guardian]
[Shin Seok-jun]
[Lv22 Intermediate Support Magician]
Seo Young-hee and Shin Seok-jun.
Because I could immediately tell that it was the voice of a couple.
“Chairman of the Association!”
The two awakened couples shouted.
“Yunseong is a member of our combat team number 4!”
“If there is a problem, shouldn’t you just tell us? Besides… the attack just now.”
The two people’s faces frowned.
A small cold sweat breaks out.
“No matter how I looked at it, it felt like the intention was to kill.”
“Hehe….”
At the words of those two people.
The president of the association slightly tilted his head and asked.
“How did you two find out about this place? “I guess I intentionally didn’t make as much noise as possible.”
“….”
At those words.
Shin Seok-jun silently lifted his right arm and rolled up his sleeve.
Translucent watch-like objects were hanging from its arms.
And one of them.
Jiiiiiiing –
As if it was alarm time.
It kept ringing.
“This is a skill obtained after reaching level 20 [Support Sorcerer]. “It has the effect of sending a notification when an ally is in danger.”
“Hoo!”
“I couldn’t put it on a lot of people, so I put it on only the guild executives and my group members. “I can’t believe it… I never imagined it would be activated for the first time in a situation like this.”
“That’s amazing!”
In those words.
The president of the association said with a bright smile, as if he was truly in a good mood.
“As expected, they are the elite leaders of our guild! “It’s really reliable.”
“….”
“I never thought there would be someone who was this meticulous. “If I had known… I would have finished it with the first blow.”
He said something like that.
It doesn’t seem like he has any intention of making an excuse.
“After all, hesitation is poison.”
Sigh.
He raised the great sword once again.
“…Oh my god honey!”
Seo Young-hee screams.
Shin Seok-jun, who was behind her, also quickly extended his hand as if he knew even if she didn’t say anything.
Baaaaagh….
Light comes into Seo Young-hee’s body.
Among the association’s buffers, Shin Seok-jun’s buff is one of the best interpersonal buffers.
That buff resides in the body of Captain Seo Young-hee, whose defensive ability is evaluated to be comparable to that of executives.
Kwaaaaang!
“…Cough!”
Nevertheless.
Blood leaks from the mouth due to the light swing.
“…Honey, this.”
“Yeah… It might be a bit difficult.”
A shadow falls on the faces of the two people.
I came here because I sensed a trillion-won crisis.
The cause of the crisis was not something the two of them could do anything about.
As it is, it is no different from the crisis that Yunseong went through.
The two couples thought for nothing that they would die at the hands of the president of the association.
To be exact.
That thought was a bit wrong.
“What kind of fuss is this!”
Unlike Yunseong, who was almost dealt with quietly.
The two couples succeeded in creating an uproar against the association president.
“What the hell is this?”
“President of the Association, Director Seo… What kind of situation is this?”
I heard that commotion.
The awakened members of the attack team who had fallen asleep flocked in.
* * *
“Chief Seo Young-hee! “Explain the situation!”
“….”
Among them, the one that came first was.
Among the association’s elites, they are the strongest and most outstanding.
Those who have been with the president of the association since the beginning of its demise.
“Why are the leader and the president of the association fighting!”
There were five executives.
Among them, the [Knight] Awakened and the head of the warrior class is known to respect the Association President the most.
Let Sanghyun Park shout out.
Seo Young-hee opened her mouth while frowning at the command of a person who was no different from her immediate superior.
“The president of the association was attacking Mr. Yunseong.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“No matter how you look at it, it was an attack with murderous intent, so we tried to stop it somehow and hear the situation… but instead of answering our questions, they even attacked us.”
“What is that?”
At her words.
The eyes of the gathered executives are shaking as if they are embarrassed.
“What kind of nonsense is that? Captain Seo!”
In particular, Park Sang-hyun seems to be making no sense.
He still shouted at Seo Young-hee in a harsh tone.
A dark shadow fell on Seo Young-hee’s complexion as she recognized the emotions contained in that voice.
‘…This is a bit of a big deal.’
It is said that she is also an influential figure in this group in her own way.
It is nothing compared to that president of the association.
‘What if the president of the association points out us and Yunseong as traitors?’
Rather, they are accused of being traitors.
It is possible that you will be attacked by those executives.
I thought I had to avoid that situation at all costs.
Although she quickly turned her head.
“…Hmm.”
What helped me avoid that situation.
It was someone else, not her.
“Well, actually, I didn’t intend for this situation to happen.”
“…President of the Association?”
“Now that things have turned out like this, I think it might have turned out better.”
The president of the association did not single out Seo Young-hee and his wife as traitors.
“Actually, there was one thing I was curious about.”
With the five executives gathered together.
He opened his mouth as he looked at the strong leaders of each group gathered behind him.
“Five executives of our association and leaders of the combat group. “They are one of the most powerful people in this Gyeonggi-do… they are very powerful.”
“…What are you trying to say?”
“I don’t know what to say, but I was always proud of your strength, as it was something I worked hard to develop. I’m serious about this. But… sometimes I think about this.”
A smile forms on the old man’s lips.
“All of you and me.”
Raise your greatsword high.
There was a black light, darker than the darkness of night, on that great sword.
“The thought of who would win if they risked their lives in a fight…”
Jump!
The president of the association plunges a knife into the floor.
As the huge greatsword sliced through the frozen ground and became embedded in the ground.
Paaaak –
The darkness on the sword spreads throughout the association’s formation.
[Curse of Invincibility]
That dark energy.
He grabbed the ankles of the awakened people.
[This is a curse that the ‘Dark Knight of the Curse’ cast with all his might.] [Unless the caster of the curse dies or the curse cannot be maintained, those subject to the curse will not be able to leave the battlefield.]
[However, the curse’s target cannot leave the battlefield.
The caster also cannot leave the battlefield.]
The intention of the action is very clear.
The gathered executives and leaders shouted in panic.
“What on earth are you doing, Chairman of the Association?”
“What are you doing? “Sanghyeon, if you were smart enough, wouldn’t you have understood?”
And then.
An old man raising his hand and tapping his fingers in the air.
“You are very capable, but the problem is that you tend to turn your eyes away from the truth at times like this. “If so, let me know for sure.”
Although others did not notice.
Only five people.
[The system of the guild ‘Gyeonggi-do Survivors Association’ changes due to the authority of the ‘Association President’.]
[The ‘Guild Message’ system is temporarily unusable due to the authority of the ‘Association Chairman’.] The
executives of the association.
I could understand the meaning of that act.
“Chief Seo is right.”
“…!?”
Their leader who has been with them since the beginning of destruction.
You really betrayed them.
“I am going to betray you.”
The meaning is beyond terrible.
* * *
Kaang!
Let the president of the association swing his sword.
The person who blocked the knife was the person who always respected the president of the association the most.
“No, Chairman of the Association.”
It was Park Sang-hyun.
“Young Master…! why!”
A look of despair appeared on Park Sang-hyun’s face.
The president of the association doesn’t seem to care about such faces.
Quang!
I swung that great sword without hesitation.
“…mister? “What kind of situation is this?”
“I don’t know either…!”
In that sudden situation.
The other awakened people could not help but be embarrassed as well.
“I heard you and I have a sworn brother-in-law relationship with you!”
“That’s right, before the destruction, we were cracking soju together and exchanging nonsense!”
“It really doesn’t help! Ha… I can’t help it.”
but.
These are also awakened people who have established themselves as the best in a region.
Hwareuk.
“Let’s suppress it first and think about it.”
“Well, I guess I have to deal with my older brother. “I feel like my legs are shaking already…”
“Hold on a little!”
[Pyromancer] Jang Hwayeon’s hands burst into flames.
[Daegungsa] Jang Ji-han puts specially made arrows on the bowstring.
Against the president of the association.
The awakened members of the Association began to prepare for battle.
“A light of hope for courageous heroes!”
One of the association’s five executives.
[Priest] Let Seong Jin-hye shout like that.
A strong buff light shines on the executives and leaders surrounding the association president.
A brilliant light fell on the battlefield at night.
That moment.
“First of all… it would be right to sort things out with Jinhye first.”
“…!”
Toward Seong Jin-hye, the one who is emitting that light.
An old man holding a great sword approaches at incredible speed.
‘fast…!’
Tremendous speeds that are unlikely to be possible with an old man’s body.
All other awakened people missed the association president’s movements.
That’s the most important thing in battle.
The exact moment when the priest in the back row was about to be helplessly eliminated.
Kaang!
“I was wondering when you would come!”
From the dark.
There were sharp daggers aimed at the back of the old man’s head.
“Sahyuk!”
“…Somehow, it was easy to show the loopholes. “Was it intentional?”
Seeing those daggers being easily thrown away.
From the shadows of the night, a man with his entire body wrapped in black bandages appears.
[Jin Sa-hyuk]
[Lv.28 Intermediate Assassin]
One of the five executives of the association.
Among the executives, he was the least known to the outside world.
“…Inspiration.”
Assassin Jin Sa-hyeok has dozens of daggers attached to the joints of both hands.
He opened his mouth while glaring at the president of the association.
“I don’t know why there’s this sudden fuss, but it’s not too late. “If there is a reason why you are suddenly doing this, please explain.”
“Haha, are you disappointed in me?”
“It’s not that disappointing.”
The president of the association was revered by the awakened members of the association for his strength.
but.
This is simply a manifestation of the longing for the power that awakened people implicitly possess.
“I already knew that you were not as great a person as others thought.”
Everyone who was close to him knew.
That old man who pretended to be gentle was actually quite capricious.
There were many cases where he showed a petty side that was unbecoming of a leader of a huge power.
“But I didn’t think he was that stupid to suddenly betray his allies like this. He must have been quite satisfied with the honor of being the president of the association. “What is the reason?”
“Haha, this is why…”
Those words.
“…reason.”
The president of the association was unable to speak for a moment.
People thought that a strange look of fear flashed across his face.
That expression didn’t last long.
“How important would that be in the current situation?”
“….”
“Sahyuk, what are you so angry about in the first place? “Not like a child who is normally so calm.”
“I guess I’m getting senile. “Do you think this seems like a situation where you won’t be angry?”
“no. If it were other people, it would make them angry. but.”
The old man’s eyes glare at the assassin.
“Shouldn’t you rather be happy?”
“what?”
“You must have always been anxious to kill me.”
In those words.
A slight vibration occurred in the assassin’s eyes.
“…did you know?”
“You can’t help but notice that you are so blatantly displaying your murderous actions.”
The eyes of the association president looking at the assassin.
Those eyes seemed to say that they knew everything about the other person.
“I have already noticed that you are anxious to kill everyone in sight and that your nature is that of a vicious murderer.”
“….”
“Now you can achieve what your nature wants. “Shouldn’t we rather be happy?”
In those words.
The assassin answered through clenched teeth.
“Certainly my nature is very ugly… and dirty.”
“You finally admit it!”
“but!”
[Intermediate Assassin] Jin Sa-hyuk.
He was a person who suffered from a murderous impulse that had been built into his body since he was a child.
at the same time.
“I have never lost to that damn instinct!”
Not once so far.
He was a man who never lost to that impulse.
“I don’t think conversation will work, so let’s talk while lying down next time.”
Jin Sa-hyuk’s body hides in the darkness again.
He will continue to exploit the loopholes of the Association President in his fight with other awakened people.
“…Everyone listen!”
The knight was shedding tears due to the betrayal of the president of the association.
Park Sang-hyun wipes the tears from his eyes.
“Young Master… Association President Kang San’s curse is certainly strong, but there are also limitations! “The limitation is that only one curse can be applied to one target!”
The ‘priest’ shouted solemnly under the light emitted.
“The author used that one time to [Curse of Invincibility]. There will be no more additional curses! No matter how strong he is, he cannot overcome our entire attack force! “I command you with the rank of warrior leader!”
His blade points to the Association President’s forehead.
“The president of the association lost his temper for an unknown reason. Subdue him in the name of the Association!”
[The ‘Senior Knight’s Cry’ echoes across the battlefield!]
“Let the author kneel before the united association!”
A huge number of awakened people are surrounded by brilliant light.
They began to surround one association president.
* * *
The president of the association was clearly a strong man.
The best powerhouse in Gyeonggi-do that no one can deny.
But no matter how strong he is.
There was no way to win against this number of awakened people.
And that is….
“Sanghyun.”
Association president Kang San also.
Something I already knew enough about.
“Are you really okay with that order?”
“What are you going to say!”
“Do you really think it would be okay for the entire attack team to deal with me?”
Even in a situation where you are in the middle of countless enemies.
Kang San opened his mouth in a relaxed manner.
“but. “You were always the one who needed my advice.”
“…?”
“Lift up your ears.”
A bit of a surprise.
but.
There was no need to try to understand what he meant.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo….
At the same time as Kang San spit out those words.
Because there were sounds coming from around me.
“….”
Coming from far away.
Very loud and heavy footsteps.
Experienced awakeners.
I was able to quickly guess the identity of the sound.
‘…It’s a monster wave!’
Far away.
From the exact place they were heading.
A huge number of monsters were coming.
* * *
“Combat leader number 1!”
“Yes yes!”
“From now on, you will command the entire force of the attack team, including the leader and vice-captain level and below. “Take your troops and go in the direction of the sound.”
“…You mean all the power below the co-pilot level?”
“okay.”
Park Sang-hyun said while glaring at the president of the association.
“The number of signs felt is unusual. “It’s probably a number that our raiding party won’t be able to withstand even if we do our best.”
“…that!”
“I won’t tell you to defeat them. But hold on as long as you can.”
The president of the association.
It was swung towards the number 1 combat leader.
Kaang!
Park Sang-hyeon’s long sword barely manages to ward off the great sword.
“…Until we subdue that old man and join him!”
“…yes!”
Combat leader number 1 leaves with his troops.
The remaining 13 people on the battlefield had a total of 25 commanders and vice-captains.
and five executives.
“Okay, okay. I guess this can be done to some extent.”
“…It will be full and overflowing, old man!”
A total of 30 people.
and.
…gulp.
‘What should I do…’
I was just looking at that scene helplessly.
There was one injured person.
