The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 367

Episode 367: Seal.

-The people there are especially those with strong souls who have not yet become our brothers.

-It will be especially valuable to those of you who care about native species.

What’s in the ice.

It was clearly the image of the parents who had been searching for so long.

I stood in front of him, cringing.

-I’m not sure, but I guess I like those two native species.

The voice of the soul was heard.

I flinched for a moment, but

“…There are some familiar faces.”

-You are also wearing the body of a native species… so it makes sense.

After responding as if nothing had happened as much as possible.

Toouk.

Without saying a word.

I put their bodies in my shadow.

-I handed them over. Go back now, guardian of native species.

-Take care and nurture your children. We also won’t touch you in the meantime.

-There is a truce. We have already lost a lot to each other. It would be better for you to postpone the next fight until a little later.

With the parents who were aiming so hard.

A situation in which the missing people were successfully recovered.

Although it was a very exciting situation in my heart…

‘Calm down, Shin Young-jun. ‘Don’t get excited.’

In my head, stay as calm as possible.

I was picking up people’s bodies in the shadows and listening to them.

‘When you get excited about family things, you end up making mistakes.’

Because I already knew that fact from experience.

I’m not perfect.

Although I tend to make mistakes often.

‘I don’t plan on making the same mistake twice.’

Exciting moment here.

Because I knew I would make the same mistake again!

‘I don’t know why, but right now those guys can’t physically stop me. ‘They know that too.’

They are probably quite powerful beings.

These guys can’t do anything right now except talk like this.

If I could have stopped it in the first place, I would have already stopped it when I picked up those monsters.

‘And yet you’re telling me to guide you here?’

The problem was their response.

‘why?’

The human bodies here are very useful.

It did not simply mean that the awakened person contained tremendous potential.

‘If they had realized that I cared about humans, they could have used them to threaten me.’

But they casually revealed this place to me.

If this happens, I will just take care of these people.

Just go back the same way you came before.

A ceasefire proposal or something.

It’s okay if you don’t accept it.

‘There’s no way those guys don’t know that.’

And yet, they are talking nonsense about truce proposals and all that.

…Is there any good reason for that?

“indeed.”

After I put everyone’s bodies into the shadows.

He nodded and said.

“I guess I’ll just bide my time.”

At my words.

-….

-….

-….

Voices loudly talking about a truce and everything.

Be silent as a group.

“I’m not sure. “I think we just need to wait a little while.”

-I didn’t mean to do that.

“That’s why I turned my steps elsewhere.”

-You must not misunderstand our meaning. We just innocently….

“I understand why you didn’t threaten me. If you make a threat for no reason and my feelings are hurt, that’s it. “Because the best cards I’ve secured become useless.”

I’m not a person with a very good personality.

What if they threatened me for no reason?

Outraged by that threat, he might have overexerted himself and ate the [cooking] and headed towards those guys.

“You probably didn’t want to take that risk. On the other hand, if it’s just guiding you down a different path while making a deal or something, there’s less pressure.”

-….

“It’s just leaking in another direction for a moment. They probably thought I would accept it easily. “In fact, to some extent, it happened that way.”

then.

The answer is simple.

“We should hurry.”

-…!

If they want to take their time.

I have to make time.

‘Oh shit.’

Even if you walk as fast as possible.

My current physical condition had limitations.

‘then.’

I have no hesitation.

I put my hand into my pocket.

[The war cook’s sincerity makes Yetil’s front leg jerky of anger]

What I took out.

Of course, cooking.

And the moment you try to put that dish in your mouth.

[Caution!]

[Side effects – ‘Serious aftereffects’ are still present!]

[If you consume the dish again while the aftereffects from cooking remain, there is a risk that the side effects will become even greater….]

There is a long wait ahead of you. A warning message appeared.

But unfortunately.

There was no time to read the warning.

‘I don’t know what will happen later.’

gulp!

‘Please take care of me later!’

I chewed the dish and swallowed it.

[Attribute – Obtain ‘Berserk’!]

An effect that takes effect in an instant.

I am energized by the effectiveness of that dish.

Paang!

I started running outside with my heavy body.

‘Kruk…!’

Pain penetrates my head.

I feel every joint in my body screaming to stop.

‘Still, I overdid it with [Berserk] while the side effects from last time weren’t over yet.’

My physical condition is literally the worst.

Since the destruction.

Although I have been injured more seriously, I have never been in a worse condition than this.

‘I ate there one more time.’

It is impossible to even guess how strong the side effects that will occur later will be.

So I saved as much as I could.

Now I was convinced that I had to run even if it meant pushing myself too hard.

-Stop!

“Fuck you.”

Ignoring the voice stopping me.

Run as fast as possible while carrying your heavy body.

The pain that hit me to the point where I wanted to pass out at any moment took over my whole body.

I grit my teeth and take a step forward.

‘It was an inevitable bait.’

Rescue the surviving humans before they are taken over.

That’s something that has to be done somehow.

I realized long ago that there was a high probability that this was bait.

Still, I had no choice but to follow.

‘The delay due to that is not long. ‘What are you trying to do with that short amount of time?’

I ran out as fast as I could.

Grab the frozen bodies of the monsters and push them back.

Slurp.

Clink!

Some of them fall into my shadow.

Also, some were broken.

I did it because I wanted the bodies of those monsters.

It wasn’t something I did because I wanted to destroy it.

‘Just a little faster!’

Use the bodies of those monsters as support.

To move forward even a little faster.

“Huh… Huh…!”

That’s how I am.

The deepest part of this gate.

[Hall of the old imperial castle]

In the deepest part of this castle.

We arrived at a huge and beautiful cavity.

-…You are truly a scary person.

-Not only is he powerful, but his plans are also detailed. It is a material that is sufficient to act as a guardian of a race.

and.

What is there….

“What are you guys….”

It is enough to reach the top of this large royal castle.

They were giants with huge bodies.

[Guardians of the Ariant Empire]

[These are the great guardians created by the great empire Ariant, nicknamed the Guardians of the Earth.]

[They faithfully performed their mission to protect the world and ultimately fought against enemies until the moment the empire fell. I fought back bravely.]

[Status – Possession]

[I am possessed by leader-level entities of the frozen soul Belsnickel.]

[Freshness – Best]

Just like the monsters I met before coming here.

Giant monsters trapped in ice.

If there’s anything different.

‘blue.’

That color.

The fact that it was a very dark blue color.

Duruk…

– Indeed… it was close.

-hmm. I wondered if the fate of my brothers would also end here.

Unlike the other monsters I met before coming here.

“You’re alive.”

These bodies.

The point was that it was still alive and its eyes were rolling towards me.

* * *

A huge royal hall.

Almost twenty giants were standing at the entrance of the castle, surrounding me as I entered.

‘There were monsters that were alive and preserving their bodies?’

Even the number was not small.

The number you can roughly see is twenty.

Then why?

I guess they went out to deal with the expeditionary force out there… but.

The reason was quickly apparent.

“Is it a seal?”

This is the gate.

And according to my experience at the gate [Tianshan Military Academy] I visited.

Beings with too much power were locked away with a seal placed by this world.

“…was it something like that?”

I’m not sure.

They originally ran away from the world.

In the process, many people lost their bodies.

‘That’s the countless corpses of monsters down there.’

but.

Not everyone lost their bodies.

‘The monsters with powers beyond the color blue were alive.’

instead.

It was sealed away by this world that was wary of its power.

[Extreme Saint Baleim]

– It was not easy to escape this strong seal… Fortunately, the seal on the soul was released a little quickly.

I also understood the climate of Gyeonggi-do.

These monsters are ones whose soul and body are separated.

The seal on that soul was released first.

It was the supernatural ability of that soul that was lowering the climate of Gyeonggi-do.

These guys probably look like the leaders of these evil spirits.

‘From the moment these guys’ souls began to open their eyes, the temperature in Gyeonggi Province dropped drastically.’

and.

I could also sense why these guys were trying to buy time.

[Sealing…]

[Target risk level – 3]

Souls that are sealed.

The seal on that soul was definitely working.

[Time remaining until the seal is lifted – 59….]

[58….]

“…Tsk.”

How much time remains until the seal is lifted.

There wasn’t much left.

* * *

-It was truly a close call…

The guys sigh with relief.

The reason these guys tried to buy a little more time.

That was because it wasn’t long until the seal was broken.

The time left until they can walk through the world themselves.

Because there wasn’t much left.

‘If only the expeditionary force had arrived a little late… ‘Those guys must have woken up from the seal and attacked us.’

Let’s look at them with that thought in mind.

I got goosebumps without realizing it.

‘Each one is a boss-level monster…’

It’s a blue energy.

The blue was not light at all and was very dark.

‘At the very least, it has the same energy as Ariella, who has become a baron.’

Ariella alone was a very powerful monster.

Despite being a race that specializes in raising armies rather than individual power.

It was a monster beyond imagination with its own strength alone.

‘The fighting abilities of the monsters here… must be more than that.’

There are more than 20 monsters with that kind of power.

If monsters of this magnitude appear in the world intact…

not even an army can stop them.

-If you had come to us a little sooner, we would have met the end without even being able to resist.

and.

It seems like they know that too.

Voices mixed with laughter echo.

[Ice Flame Fighter Balthazar]

-But it looks like victory is ours in the end. You fool.

“….”

-You certainly had a chance. However, your foolishness in wasting time caring for native species has led to the extinction of all native species.

One of the giants.

He said that while looking down at me in an extremely arrogant manner.

[Thick Crystal Gelimbo]

– Haha! No matter how powerful a guardian is, he is ultimately the guardian of bugs! It wouldn’t be strange if its intelligence was also similar to that of an insect!

Another giant seems already confident of victory.

He made comments that openly insulted me and humanity.

The result of running towards this place at full speed.

I was lucky enough to arrive just before they were released from the seal.

[Inspector General Ilaon]

-One minute until we walk through this world ourselves.

As for the remaining time.

There is less than a minute left.

[Wise One Eterek]

-Do not be too pessimistic, guardian of native species.

My physical condition is at its worst right now.

Even if you are in peak physical condition, it is impossible to do something in just one minute.

[Anador, Understanding Lonely Souls]

– Your struggle was great. Now, let’s become our brothers and use that power for us…

In just one minute.

Those guys have completely broken out of their seal.

He’ll crush me with that huge body.

but.

When the guys were smiling, confident of victory.

“…1 minute.”

I thought about the numbers they were muttering.

“thank god.”

When I realized those guys were wasting time.

I thought it might be too late.

No, it was actually late.

…but it’s late.

“I don’t think it’s too late.”

-what?

still.

I don’t think it’s too late.
