The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 361
Episode 361: It’s a cooking tool.
People only knew the president of the association as a strong warrior.
A pure warrior who does not use any other skills.
but.
This was merely information leaked on purpose by the association president’s party.
Of course.
‘Because it wouldn’t be good if it became known that the leader of the group was a person who used curses
. ‘
He hides the fact that he uses curses.
He has only shown himself as a strong warrior.
and.
He is a professional who can only reveal his true skills through curses.
There was a reason why he was able to perform as a warrior.
[Curse of Bloodshed]
[Speeds up the movement of the opponent’s blood flow.]
[The target of the curse will die quickly as a result, but will exert tremendous power before death.]
When I first saw this curse.
-What kind of trash…
Kang San was dumbfounded.
‘It’s nice to be able to take your time and kill the enemy… but does that mean the enemy gets stronger in the meantime?’
It made me wonder if there was such a flawed skill.
The same was true for other skills.
[Curse of Invincibility]
[Those subject to the curse cannot leave the battlefield.]
[However, the caster of the curse also cannot leave the battlefield.]
[Sesthesia]
[Disturbs the target’s physical senses.]
[However, the curse After the holding time ends, the other person’s senses become noticeably more sensitive than before.]
‘Just things like this.’
If you look at each effect individually, it is powerful.
Is it the price of that strength?
Curse-type skills did not only have advantages.
A series of skills that have both advantages and disadvantages.
When I first saw those skills.
Kang San thought that he was not good at becoming strong.
[Rewards are given to those who get ahead.]
‘This is…’
The first achievement.
After receiving the reward…
things changed a little.
‘It’s a reward for me!’
An item given as a reward to party members.
but.
Anyone who saw that item looked as if it had been prepared for Kang San.
After then.
Kang San became confident that he was the strongest.
…however.
That confidence didn’t last long.
Grumpy look…!
‘Damn it, another monster…!’
‘More than ten people have already been captured by that guy alone!’
‘The accumulated damage is already too great. I know you’re upset, but your sword didn’t even work!’
‘We must retreat, Chairman!’
When heading towards [Magyeong].
That confidence was shattered for the first time.
-What is where you want to go? See for yourself.
‘Is this… really?’
When chasing [cold energy].
I was terrified when I saw what was inside.
‘Those monsters cannot be defeated. but.’
‘At least against awakened people… I am the strongest against humans!’
‘All of you and just me. Who is stronger…!’
To restore that self-esteem.
A fight for subordinates who were secretly ignoring them.
At the end of that fight….
‘I can’t believe I touched such supernatural power.’
By losing miserably.
My pride, which had been torn to pieces, was reduced to dust.
and.
“No matter how much stronger they are than me…!”
Kang San-eun.
That young man who is trying to turn his pride, which has already been reduced to dust, into nothingness.
He said while glaring at Shin Youngjun.
“at last…!”
The pride that I thought was the strongest was completely destroyed.
The human mind is weak.
Living without any sense of pride was not as easy as I thought.
His mind needed a new place to lean.
“The one who survives until the end is me…!”
okay.
For example.
Even if you can’t beat them.
That you will be able to survive longer than them.
Such pride.
If it was original.
It was also a pride I could never have had.
[You have surpassed level 30!]
[Acquire a new skill.]
A new skill acquired by surpassing level 30.
and.
-Give in.
When you let go of your useless pride.
The power gained from the beings within that veil.
The moment the two are combined.
“I am the one who wins in the end…!”
he is.
I was able to gain a new sense of pride.
* * *
‘I’ve already looked through the association president’s status window.’
[Awakened: Kang San]
[Dark Knight of Curse Lv.34]
[Skill]
[Curse – Physical]
[Curse – Binding]
[Curse – Restrictions]
[Curse – Torture]
Kang San’s skills were centered around curses.
A curse that causes physical damage.
A curse that binds the enemy. A curse
that limits the enemy’s abilities or actions.
A curse that tortures the enemy.
But those curses are powerful.
Each thing had its drawbacks.
‘There was no trait or skill powerful enough to be in that state.’
so that.
I thought the cause of that immortality lay somewhere else.
“The reward they received was a dagger. “The president of the association took it!”
If there’s a problem.
There was no way to find out the cause.
“In the middle of the chest!”
“…!”
“The president of the association tried to protect that place at all costs…!”
By Yunseong saying those words.
I was able to get a hint.
and.
In return.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
“Keoheook….”
“…!”
Yunseong coughed up a huge amount of blood.
“Cough…”
I closed my eyes.
I bowed my head.
The reason was quickly apparent.
[Blade of Silence]
[If the curse caster shows a willingness to reveal information that could be used disadvantageously to others, the blade will go straight toward the heart and attack the target.] [
Instead, the target of the curse will have a weapon connected to the curse. The caster’s location can be determined at any time.]
“….”…
When he was asleep.
I was able to find out some information by asking him questions while he was sleeping.
‘A question asked while I was asleep.’
The answer was nothing more than sleep talk.
There is no ‘will’ to share information with others.
Because I was able to cleverly avoid the conditions of the [Blade of Silence].
Thanks to you, the existence of a traitor.
Because of that traitor, we were able to find out that the raiding party had been captured by the enemies…
But to put it the other way around.
‘In the end, the answer was no better than sleep talk.’
It was good that I was able to avoid the activation conditions of [Blade of Silence].
Instead, it was impossible to exchange specific questions and answers.
“Dagger….”
And now.
He has a strong will.
He informed me of the association president’s weaknesses.
“And I said it was the chest area.”
I still don’t know if that’s really a weakness.
Maybe it was all just Yunseong’s illusion.
but.
‘Information that I tried to convey even as I was in this state.’
Then I…
“Let’s try something.”
Even if you say you might fail.
I’ll have to believe this.
* * *
Kaang…!
‘Ugh…!’
Shin Young-jun’s countless coordinated attacks.
Kangsan only continued to be pushed back by that concerted attack.
“How can I subdue it…!”
“Force feeding doesn’t work either! “Those ice absorb it instead.”
Shin Youngjun who is attacking too.
He was frowning as if he was stuffy.
‘Let’s endure… We must endure until the end without being overpowered.’
Just with that thought.
Kang San was withstanding Shin Young-jun’s pincer attack.
Meanwhile.
suddenly.
“Let’s try something.”
“…!?”
‘Shin Young-jun’, who was behind the scenes from the middle of the battle.
Unlike the other Shin Young-juns, he is not wearing a military uniform….
‘The main body.’
The real Shin Youngjun.
I felt like I was joining the fight.
It is safer to leave the fighting only to your clones.
If this self-immolation technique is that young man’s skill.
The moment that young man falls, his clones will also disappear.
Even when I saw that young man step back from the middle and start talking to Yunseong.
It was a strong mountain that I crossed over thinking I was going backwards for safety.
And that he had joined the fight again.
‘That guy is in a hurry too!’
The clone’s time limit is running out.
He said he started going out of his way to defeat himself somehow.
Kang San was sure.
‘not much left. Just a little more, just a little more time!’
With that thought in mind.
A smile forms on Kang San’s lips.
And…
that moment.
“Sigh!”
Shin Young-jun, the ‘main body’.
He was seen throwing his body towards himself.
‘Foolish!’
Kang San thought as he extended his great sword towards the main body.
‘Ultimately, if the main body and alter ego are differentiated like this, behavioral patterns can also be predicted.’
If those clones are your opponents.
Maybe they are trying to harm themselves by sacrificing one animal.
It wouldn’t be a big loss if the alter ego disappeared.
But the body was different.
If the main body disappears, there is a high probability that the alter egos will also disappear.
‘The main body has no choice but to be a little more defensive!’
No matter how strong you are.
In the end, he is a kid with no dried blood on his head.
I believe that in places like this, the difference in actual experience determines the outcome.
Kang San stabbed his great sword at him.
It’s an attack that will tear your back to pieces if you hit it like that.
That man will somehow try to avoid or block this great sword.
If you block attacks like that, the distance will eventually increase.
‘I win in the end!’
If only we could somehow increase the distance.
It can take at least 10 seconds or more.
With that thought in mind.
It was a large sword that had been stabbed.
Kwasik….
‘…Huh?’
The sensation you feel at your fingertips.
It was a little different from what he expected.
“you… what.”
Kang San looked at the other person with perplexed eyes.
What was there was
the sword he had swung that said,
“It hurts…”
Stuck with that sword.
Argh….
“I’m going to fall behind…!”
Holding the blade with bloodied hands.
It was Shin Young-jun moving forward.
‘You didn’t avoid it?’
An attack I made thinking I would have avoided it.
I was embarrassed by the fact that I didn’t dodge the attack, so my reaction was a little delayed.
grasp!
Shin Youngjun’s hands.
It stretched out, aiming for Kangsan’s chest.
‘…!’
Kang San, embarrassed, swung the great sword that pierced Shin Young-jun’s body.
Damn it…!
The blade cut through the middle of the ship and protruded from the side.
More than 80% of the waist is torn off.
You wouldn’t know it if you had achieved immortality.
A fatal wound from which not only ordinary humans but even awakened people can avoid death.
But…
Shin Young-jun stretched out his hand, not caring that his back was torn apart.
That hand, after all.
Toouk….
It touched his chest.
“…!”
Just a moment.
In return for those fingers touching Kangsan’s chest.
Pow!
“Kuhuh…!”
Shin Young-jun’s waist was almost broken in two.
I ended up stuck in a corner building.
* * *
“Whoops… whoops…”
The waist was cut in half.
Shin Young-jun rolling around on the floor in pain.
“You…”
Kang San said, looking down at Shin Young-jun.
“What on earth were you trying to do?”
I was trying to speak as leisurely as possible.
Kang San felt goosebumps rising on his back.
Just before.
No matter how you think about the movements that young man showed.
‘Even if it meant losing his life… he was trying to reach out to my body.’
If you are in a hurry because you think you don’t have time.
It is understandable to attack by abandoning one’s own body.
but.
The problem was where he reached.
‘In the middle of the chest.’
It’s not where the heart is.
That’s not where the brain is.
It’s not even the solar plexus.
‘no way.’
In the eyes of Kang San, who has experienced numerous battles.
Since it is not a critical point, it is relatively less targeted.
An area that wasn’t considered awkward to defend because it was close to other vital points.
‘Did you find out?’
I didn’t bother to reach out there.
but.
‘…Even if I found out, it wouldn’t matter.’
You wouldn’t know if that hand had penetrated the skin.
The tips of my fingers barely touched the skin.
Wow….
‘It’s okay. ‘It’s still fine.’
be in it
I couldn’t touch Gangsan’s most important object.
“Cough…cough…!”
In return for Shin Young-jun extending his hand just once.
He was rolling around on the floor with a large cut on his side.
“You’re foolish, child.”
“Whoops….”
“Suddenly such a reckless charge… Maybe it was because the time limit for the self-immolation technique was over, so I overdid it, but since it failed… this is the end.”
Looking at Shin Young-jun rolling on the floor in pain.
Kang San spoke with a confident attitude.
“If you, the main body, die, the clones you summoned will also soon disappear.”
“Cough…”
“You were definitely strong. I looked down on him because I thought he had no combat skills, but… this kind of self-immolation technique combined with that powerful dagger technique! I was confident that I was the strongest awakened person… but your strength surpasses even me, who has given up on being human.”
The admiration was sincere.
He thought that human strength could never defeat the monster.
“If it were you, you might not have been afraid of the beings I met.”
If only he were as strong as the young man in front of him.
It even made me think that he might not have given up on being human.
But…
“I guess that’s where you end up, too.”
“Cough…”
“In the end, in this world… isn’t the one who survives the strongest?”
like that.
When Kang San was confident of victory.
“Kuh… Young Master.”
“Something.”
“You…”
The back, including the spine, was split open.
Shin Young-jun is struggling in pain.
“I guess I’m a little insensitive to magic…?”
“…?”
“Tsk… if it were something else… it would have been a little difficult.”
Those eyes…
still had the will to fight.
“If it’s a dagger… it’s easy.”
“What…”
Kang San was confident of victory.
He couldn’t help but be taken aback by the strange sensation he suddenly felt.
“What did you… do…!”
From within his heart. Because I felt
something…
a magical power that wasn’t my own.
“A dagger is… a [cooking tool].”
That moment.
grasp!
“…!”
Shin Young-jun’s alter egos suddenly attack from both sides.
The moment when Kang San swings both hands against the clones.
“Work.”
“…!”
“[Assistant chef].”
Kang San’s hands took advantage of the gap.
The magical power that Shin Young-jun planted in Kang San’s heart.
[Assistant Chef]
[Invisible assistant chefs assist you with your work.]
[Assistant chefs share the player’s stats.]
[Assistant chefs have the trait ‘Intermediate Cooking Tool Skill’.]
The control of that magic power Take it.
Squeezing….
“…No.”
Tearing apart Kang San’s heart.
grasp!
Things jumping out.
There was one.
[Identification of food ingredients (enhancement)]
[Victimia, the blade of sacrifice]
[A dagger called the living sacrificial lamb. This is Victimia.]
[1. The Blade of Sacrifice is a weapon that is considered a single creature and can be subject to all kinds of abilities, including buffs and debuffs. However, the ability that can be applied is limited to one.]
[2. The wearer can select and share only the desired part among the various effects applied to the blade.]
Covered with the old man’s blood and flesh.
A small dagger with an ugly appearance.
Practical as well.
It doesn’t seem artistic.
It looks like it could be used in an evil ritual….
[Ability being applied]
[Curse – Eternal pain]
[Application – Death resistance]
[Not applied – Increased pain, severe pain]
Kang San showed it.
The source of immortality.
Wow.
That ominous-looking blade.
It was held in Shin Youngjun’s hands.
