The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 370
Episode 370 Aftereffects.
Is it because I ran with all my might?
My head is sweating.
“sweat.”
Is it because my body heats up due to my violent actions?
I felt the heat.
“hot.”
Those cold souls.
Belsnickels lower the temperature around them just by their presence.
In particular, what led to the cold that covered the entire Gyeonggi-do.
The souls who woke up from that seal.
’20 overlords.’
Because the king’s soul couldn’t wake up from that seal in the first place.
It would not have affected the climate of Gyeonggi-do.
If the soul had opened its eyes, the moment it was placed in my shadow, winter would have swept inside the shadow.
Those 20 boss monsters.
They were the ones who created the cold in Gyeonggi-do.
and.
Now, nearly half of them have been turned into ingredients under my blade.
The surrounding temperature.
It has become close to normal.
…that covered Gyeonggi-do.
The abnormal climate that almost froze everyone to death.
“hot!”
It was a moment that was completely resolved.
* * *
After somehow getting out of the gate.
[Environmental Fairy Tale]
Let’s hide ourselves and return to the battlefield.
I saw humans fighting in front of me.
“Area 3 needs fire support!”
“The tanks are heading towards you, so hold on just a little longer!”
Fire from tanks rains down everywhere.
A battlefield where awakened people are screaming and fighting.
‘The buff from cooking has already disappeared.’
I see that I don’t hear the same scream.
The cooking buff I gave you has long since ended.
but.
The situation didn’t seem too bad for the expeditionary force.
Bububububububbang….
At the point where a certain amount of territory has been gained.
The firepower of the positioned tanks was in full effect, pushing back against the monsters.
‘Originally… it’s normal if this pattern doesn’t appear.’
I wouldn’t know if a buff from my cooking was being applied.
If that buff is over.
No matter how much firepower that tank has.
It is difficult to gain the upper hand when faced with overwhelming numerical inferiority.
Nevertheless.
The reason why the expeditionary force was able to fight at an advantage was simple.
“The monsters have become weaker!”
“Keep pushing!”
As the saying goes.
-Grrr…
-Grrr… Wow….
A huge number of monsters blocking the expeditionary force.
Because their spirit had noticeably weakened.
The reason was understandable.
‘The guy who was occupying Jang Ji-han’s body said. I thought I was going to die from the heat in early spring, when winter had just ended…’
Those guys have the ability to lower their own energy.
As such, it is very sensitive to the surrounding temperature.
As I cut down their [Lords], the temperature around me rose sharply.
The guys.
I can’t exert my strength due to the sudden heat.
“Is everyone okay!”
“…you!”
“What is it? “This is Shin Young-jun.”
“Shin Youngjun is back!”
Then the people who were fighting were surprised when they saw me and said,
“These guys suddenly got weak and did something…”
“I knew it would happen. “What did that person do?”
People who admire.
Even some of them.
“You… did it.”
“yes?”
“Can you see this sweat…?”
Tears even formed at the corners of my eyes.
Those who wipe the sweat from their foreheads but do not wipe away the tears that flow.
“I thought I was destined to freeze to death like this.”
“I can’t believe it’s even a little bit warm like this.”
of course.
It’s winter seasonally right now.
It’s not that their power has completely disappeared.
‘Actually, the temperature will still be freezing.’
An ordinary winter day.
It was close to a very cold day.
But….
‘It was a cold that even an awakened person could not withstand properly.’
If it were an ordinary person, they would have frozen to death the moment they stepped outside in the extreme cold.
To the level of ordinary past winters.
“I can’t believe I’m sweating just from fighting this much…!”
They say that when you do hard work, you sweat.
We succeeded in returning the temperature to a normal level.
“Thank you… Thank you….”
“….”
Those who have been pushed to their mental limit by this winter.
Did this matter have great meaning to them?
They were shedding tears without even complaining of fatigue from the battle.
‘…The hard work didn’t have any meaning.’
Let’s try to relax a little.
Beatle…
As soon as my heart relaxes.
My body started to sway.
“Here you go! “You look very tired.”
“yes? ah. yes.”
“I can’t believe someone like you is so tired… What happened in there?”
I can barely keep my body balanced and hold on.
Beomseok Jo came up to me and spoke to me.
“It’s nothing special.”
I take a deep breath.
I pointed towards the place I came from.
“See it over there?”
“hmm. “You mean that black curtain.”
“I cut down a few of the guys that were in there.”
“…what?”
Those who did not know the concept of [Gate] itself.
He seemed surprised to learn that I had entered that black curtain.
“The important thing is from now on.”
“…!”
Unfortunately.
I didn’t have time to kindly explain everything one by one.
“Okay, what can we do?”
I open my mouth like that to people.
People’s attention is instantly focused.
“If there is anything we need to do, let us know. Although the number of enemies is overwhelming… they have become a little weaker. If we do it well, we can make a big impact.”
“I was just about to secure one. If we drive the tanks there, our main force might be able to fit into that tent!”
Ah…
that’s definitely awesome.
I said, looking at the battlefield.
“I will ask first. Do you think it is possible to annihilate them?”
“Annihilation….”
The enemies have become weaker.
Our army’s tank firepower took full effect.
If you think about it this way.
It was definitely an advantageous condition for the expeditionary force.
“That would be impossible.”
“….”
“There are too many numbers. Now that our army’s momentum is higher, it looks like they are on the verge of victory. “The enemies we actually eliminated will be insignificant compared to their total troops.”
As the saying goes.
‘There are so many…’
Monsters filling a city.
No matter how strong the expeditionary force is.
No matter how much it is said that those who eat the dish are reborn as warriors with a hundred thousand weapons per day.
It was difficult to make up for the numerical difference of more than a hundred times.
“Then that’s enough.”
“It’s done?”
“It would be fortunate if we could quickly annihilate the enemy… but if that is not possible, we have to go to plan B.”
“…Plan B?”
“Well, it’s a simple story.”
I looked at the people and smiled lightly.
“In the first place… we achieved all our goals, so there is no need to fight here any more.”
“…?”
“Remember why we came here.”
“That’s right…”
That’s why we came here.
Identifying and resolving the cause of the cold.
At the same time, finding out the whereabouts of the missing awakened people.
‘Originally, it would have been so cold that everyone in Gyeonggi-do would freeze to death within a month.’
Especially if those 20 bosses started their activities in earnest.
Even the awakened person would have frozen to death in no time.
but.
“You can all feel the temperature rising now.”
“…!”
“The temperature has already risen this much. Now it will be impossible for them to lower the temperature in Gyeonggi-do enough to freeze us all to death. In other words…”
In those words.
People were shocked and muttered.
“We won’t freeze to death…”
“There is no way!”
“yes.”
The first objective of the expeditionary force.
The cause and solution of coldness has been completed.
“There…”
I kept it in the shadows.
When I came here, I secretly took it out and showed it to people.
“…!”
“This…!”
People who saw it were shocked and shouted.
“Isn’t it Miss Jinhye…!”
“Do you know?”
“Of course I know. Because it was the association’s healing center…!”
“I was trapped in that tent. “It looks like the monsters tried to steal the body, but failed.”
People looked at Seong Jin-hye with eyes filled with admiration.
“Miss Jinhye… I knew she was a person with strong religious beliefs.”
“I never thought it would be able to withstand the monsters’ mental attacks…”
“Not only this person, but all the people trapped there were rescued.”
“oh my god…!”
A strange cold spell struck Gyeonggi-do.
The cause has been identified and the solution has been completed.
The members of the raid team who left to investigate the coldness.
We succeeded in recapturing them all.
“Our expeditionary force’s goals… have all been achieved…!”
“Huh… yes.”
General Cho Beom-seok shouted with an expression full of joy.
Within.
When he saw my face, his expression hardened.
“you…?”
“Haa… haa… So there’s one thing we have to do now…”
I somehow managed to hold on to my spirit that seemed to be about to disappear.
He continued his final words.
“We must run away.”
“…what?”
* * *
I hold up my finger.
He pointed to that [gate] and said.
“Phew… I cut down as many giants as I could, but… there are still more than half left. Those monsters too… their number is endless.”
There are as many as 12 monsters with blue magic remaining inside the gate.
They will start their activities soon.
‘How do you overcome something like that?’
Plus, those monsters gathered around here.
The momentum of the expeditionary force was so strong that they were driven back.
In absolute numbers, our side is still overwhelmingly inferior.
‘As expected… the number of humans is too small.’
then.
There is only one answer.
“Wook… We dispatched people to gather all the people spread out across Gyeonggi-do…”
“Mr. Youngjun?”
“you… “Are you okay?”
ah.
Shit.
It was good that the goal was achieved.
In the process, I ended up overdoing it.
It is a [beer burn] that causes serious aftereffects on the body.
Of course, he used that ability again to deal with the president of the association when the aftereffects of his previous use had not yet recovered.
Enter that [gate] while the aftereffects still remain.
Cooking was used again.
I used all my strength to cut down as many giants as possible.
Will the experience gained at that time be helpful to me in the long run?
So much experience gained in an instant put a huge strain on my body.
It was good that they stole their king in the end.
The resulting pain put a huge strain on my brain.
‘Until now… I somehow survived through [Victimia].’
but.
This is only a power that prevents ‘fainting’ and ‘death’.
It was not a force that lessened the burden on my body.
The pain caused by the aftereffects that overtook my entire body.
The remnants of the pain I felt when I touched that soul still lingered in my mind.
In other words…
what should I say.
“To the northern branch… run away…”
“You…!”
“I wanted to fight with you, but… I don’t think I can…”
I tried to hold on without fainting somehow.
I just can’t do this.
“I’m sorry, but from here on out… I’ll leave it to you.”
If I had been mentally stronger, I would have endured it.
For me, this was the limit.
Toouk.
I threw [Victimia], who I was holding with my teeth clenched, into my shadow.
OK.
“Please hold on as long as you can…”
Shake it off.
“…oh my god!”
“Bring the therapists!”
A time when I couldn’t pass out even if I wanted to.
The pain that seemed like it would last forever is over.
My vision suddenly darkened.
‘Let’s get some rest…’
I finally said.
I was able to find refuge from the pain by fainting.
* * *
“Mr. Youngjun…!?”
“Therapists hurry!”
A person who suddenly appears one day and begins to exert tremendous influence on the association.
When Shin Young-jun suddenly collapses.
The expedition commander, Jo Beom-seok, urgently called the healers.
“Oh my… this.”
“What is the condition?”
“Did you say this person collapsed just now?”
“That’s right.”
“This is ridiculous! This person…”
And.
“It’s like a living corpse…”
“…What do you mean?”
“The body’s vitality has decreased to a serious level.”
From what those healers say.
The people in the rear could not help but sigh.
“…is it serious?”
“yes. For some reason, my recovery power is so ridiculously high that I don’t think I died, but…” “
…Oh my god.”
“No matter how strong the awakened person is, if he is in this state, he should have lost his mind a long time ago. But he was walking around fine.”
gulp.
The therapists swallowed dry saliva.
“Unless you have extremely strong mental strength….”
“….”
In those words.
There was silence among the people.
