The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 362
Episode 362: The Demon Sword.
“No way…!”
Let’s take away the dagger stuck in his chest.
The old man fell unconscious from the shock.
And…
it was the same for me.
“Kuheook…!”
My hand barely touches Kang San’s chest.
Although he succeeded in pulling out the dagger that was inside it.
I ended up overdoing it in the process.
‘I will die…’
According to Yunseong’s words.
Kang San said that he was somehow protecting his chest area.
To break through that defense.
The author needs to go to unimaginable lengths.
That’s what I judged, but…
“Hehehe… well… it was cut off nicely.”
I mutter while looking at my waist.
More than 80% of the waist was cut off.
If you hold on to either the lower body or the upper body and shake it roughly, it is torn so horribly that you would think it would split in two.
No matter how strong the awakened vitality is.
I can’t live in this state.
Slurp….
‘Recovery is too late.’
Even the waist belts where the vampires’ blood had been cut were forcibly reattached.
You might be a complete vampire, but I am only half of you.
I will lose my life before my recovery is complete.
‘This… is my last.’
like that.
I was about to close my eyes in pain.
Right at that moment.
[The skill’s effect is activated!]
“Huh…?”
Just as my eyes were about to close.
There was an alien force that forcibly grabbed hold of my spirit.
[Skill being applied – Eternal Pain]
[Resistance to death due to the effect of ‘Death Resistance’!]
After being forcibly torn from Gangsan’s chest.
A hideous-looking red blade that I held in my hand.
[Victimia, Blade of Sacrifice]
“This is…?”
The magic power flowing from there.
I was suppressing my own death.
* * *
[One. The Blade of Sacrifice is a weapon that is judged as 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.]
Only then.
I could see what was written on the blade.
‘You can apply one skill and remove all the negative effects of the applied skill and bring only the desired part.’
in other words.
‘Crazy scam.’
It’s an incredible ability.
I wondered if it would be okay to have a scam item like this.
‘Isn’t that what I’m saying?’
If I think about the perks I got as a reward for my achievements.
I also thought that might be the case.
“…If you think about it, it’s an item that’s difficult to use properly in the first place.”
It looks good if only the good parts of the applied skills are brought in.
In the end, there was only one ability that could be applied to this sword.
And the same goes for most skills.
‘A buff was a buff, and a debuff was a debuff.’
There are some bad parts while being buffed.
There were fewer cases than expected where there were good aspects to the debuff.
However…
‘Those curses are different.’
Curse-type skills had both advantages and disadvantages.
The curse that Han Yi-seo used on me was also the same.
There was a penalty in that the moment the curse was blocked, Han Yi-seo became the target of the curse.
‘It is an item specialized for witch doctors.’
The president of the association uses the effect of this item.
By taking only the strengths of his curses and discarding their weaknesses.
That power has grown.
The most representative one among them is this.
[Curse – Eternal Pain]
This.
“…indeed.”
This is the curse he tried to use on me too.
The power to inflict tremendous pain and at the same time make it impossible to die or faint from the pain.
It was a curse purely for torture.
The downside is that you really can’t die.
Could it be that if the torturer escapes, he or she will be dealing with an enemy that cannot die?
and.
Gangsan uses this skill.
[Application – Death Resistance]
[Not applicable – Increased pain]
Only that you will not die.
He had been using it against himself.
‘The function of recovering the body is not written down.’
If you follow this explanation, you just won’t die.
It didn’t mean that it wouldn’t disappear.
If your head is cut off and your whole body is crushed due to harsh words.
Even if you don’t die in that state, you will be in a state no different from death.
However, the president of the association recovered even after being cut.
That ice-like thing had settled down and was replacing the missing part…
‘Is that a special ability I gained while making a contract with monsters?’
Something like frost was wiggling around and connected the wound.
There was a high probability that it was a special ability given by the monsters inside that gate.
…by the way.
The effects applied to this knife are really great.
What if there is a power that prevents death?
“Ugh….”
I tried to get up somehow.
After realizing that my body was still torn in half and tattered.
“…Vimanar!”
“yes!”
“Move my body.”
I called the [Droplets of the Legion] and moved my body.
“Where…”
“Over there.”
Where I pointed with my hand.
At that place.
[Awakened: Ha Yun-seong]
“Go there.”
While coughing up a lot of blood.
There was a man with his head down, motionless.
* * *
“Wow…”
The waist that had been cut by Kang San’s sword was still shaking.
At least there is some connection with the blood of a vampire.
“Mr. Yunseong.”
I approached Ha Yun-seong, supported by the water droplets.
“….”
Yunseong is lying blankly in the snow with his eyes open
without answering my call .
‘If I had fought a little longer, I would have lost, just like that old man said.’
The only thing I was able to win was.
As I watched the old man’s battle.
This was because he had identified the weak point he was guarding.
‘I knew I was under a curse, but…’
Seeing that I couldn’t reveal the secret because I was afraid of the curse.
I also thought that I was a selfish person.
But… it wasn’t.
I didn’t keep my mouth shut for fear of being cursed.
‘I was waiting.’
After learning that he would die if he opened his mouth.
I waited for the moment when I could most effectively open my mouth.
If you let it be known that the president of the association is a traitor.
Well, maybe it wasn’t that bad.
Those who remained may have discovered the danger at the source of that cold and advanced.
But in the end.
‘It must have been annihilated by the enemies.’
Not only does he not know the immortality shown by the president of the association, but he does not even know the identity of his enemies.
In such a situation, they only reveal the betrayal of the president of the association.
It wouldn’t have meant much.
That’s why I endured it.
And when the battle began.
He went straight to the president of the association.
A mouth that can only be opened once.
About the most important information that can be uttered…
-The reason I came here… was to be sure.
About the weakness of that association president.
To be sure.
If he had kept quiet there for fear of his own death.
As soon as the buff applied to the clones ends.
I would have just been defeated.
My first impression of this man named Yunseong was not that good.
Even with empty words, I can’t say that he is a person with great abilities.
‘How… could I open my mouth knowing I would die?’
The courage to sacrifice my life like that at the last moment
was something I did not have.
There was a cursed blade stuck in that heart that even I could not solve.
Those blades must have pierced my heart.
Originally, he wouldn’t have been able to survive.
‘thank god.’
okay.
If it was Yunseong before then.
I would never have been able to survive.
[Identification of food ingredients (enhancement)]
[Freshness: good (temporary)]
The blades of the curse may have wounded his heart.
It was not completely penetrated.
The reason was simple.
[Ingredient management (deterioration)]
[Ingredients under the chef’s control!]
[The condition has slowed down due to external factors.]
Ultimately, it is a curse that settles in the weak spot.
That absolute power could never be strong.
Because the ability to prevent damage to the condition overlapped, it would not have been possible to pierce the heart at once.
Sigh… Sigh…
He was infinitely closer to death.
He was still able to breathe.
“In front of me… look down.”
“Lord Seong.”
Let me command.
[Water droplets] said with a frown on my face.
“I understand what you are trying to do. But…”
“The Lord of the castle must use that ability…”
“This is enough for me.”
actually.
It was a wound that could have led to death just a moment ago.
Slurp….
The blood of the nobleman of the night flowed from his body.
The split waist was slowly being put together.
“At this level… I won’t die.”
“But…”
“That’s enough, put it down.”
I was a human being who was afraid of death and had no choice.
at the same time.
I also hate seeing someone else’s death…
‘Even when I think about it, there are so many things I want compared to my true abilities.’
He’s such a selfish guy.
“…yes.”
I sat down in front of the fallen person.
Sreuk.
“Hey, uncle.”
[Victimia, Blade of Sacrifice]
“This is a precious thing. therefore.”
In that hand.
He handed me a dagger.
“You need to use it for a moment and then return it.”
This person may not be a perfect human being.
He wasn’t the kind of person who should die like this.
If it was original.
A person who should have reached death soon after receiving a wound to the heart.
With the strong vitality of the awakened person and the power of food ingredient management.
The death was delayed just a little bit.
[Effect being applied]
[Eternal pain]
Now.
The grace period has been slightly extended.
“…cough.”
[Ingredient management (deterioration)]
[Ingredients under the chef’s control are maintained in the top quality that the chef considers.]
The human body under my management.
It began to gradually heal towards a superior state.
* * *
Should I say that I am fortunate?
It didn’t take long for Yunseong’s condition to recover.
‘…I never thought it would take longer for me to recover.’
It may be due to the effect of [Food Material Management (Deterioration)].
I didn’t know that Yunseong’s recovery would be completed faster than mine.
This is probably.
‘Is my recovery slowing down?’
It’s not that Yunseong’s recovery speed is ridiculously fast.
Maybe my recovery has slowed down.
There were also some elements of guessing.
‘Aftereffects…’
I’ve been ignoring the message that there’s a penalty and I’ve been using it too much, which is beyond my ability.
It must be the result of the side effects of that power accumulating in my body.
‘…I don’t have time to worry about this right now.’
It’s definitely something I’ll have to think about later, though.
It is meaningless to think about it right away.
After confirming that Yunseong’s physical condition had healed to some extent.
Slurp…
I retrieved the [Victimia] lent to him.
The body was placed in the [Shadow Curtain].
“Ugh….”
And then.
I sat down in the corner and waited for my severed back to fully recover.
therefore.
I look at the ugly blade held in my hand.
‘[Eternal pain].’
and.
Only after reading that ability again.
“…ah.”
He was so busy saving Yunseong that he didn’t notice.
I was able to realize one thing.
“indeed.”
After Doomsday.
What I was most afraid of and avoiding.
death.
If you utilize the power of this blade as is.
I guess.
“It’s immortal.”
From that death.
That it could be quite far away.
* * *
‘…Immortality.’
After Doomsday.
The kind of power I so desperately wanted.
Maybe my regenerative abilities won’t allow me to fight such ridiculous battles as that old man.
I might be able to exert similar power.
With that thought in mind.
When I looked at the dagger with excited eyes.
[Introduction to soul cooking]
‘…Huh?’
It would be normal if there was no soul.
A dagger that is nothing more than an inorganic substance.
contained within it.
[Souls of victims]
[These are the souls of those who were put into the manufacturing process of Victimia, the Blade of Sacrifice.]
Souls…
No.
I could see spirits.
-Tiring.
[The hidden characteristics of Victimia, the Blade of Sacrifice, have been confirmed!]
[Characteristics – Rites of Sacrifice]
[It is a ceremonial blade made to perform a special ritual by sacrificing as many souls as possible.]
[After the first sacrificed souls, Victimia has many The number of victims increased as the user passed by.]
[The souls of the victims take over the entire burden of the abilities that the user used on Victimia.]
[The souls of the victims have a certain amount of negative emotions, such as pain, grief, resentment, and sadness, that they feel toward their owners. When reaching. The negative emotions of the sacrificed souls devour the owner of the blade.]
[The devoured owner is converted into the soul of another victim.]
[Sacrificed soul – 3071]
[Current accumulated negative value = 98.7/100]
[If the negative value reaches 100, it will devour the owner.]
“….”
It was only then that I noticed.
Same with the name.
The appearance is also like that.
I should have noticed it a long time ago.
This dagger may be.
-It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It
shouldn’t be used easily.
That it belongs to an absurd magic sword.
