The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 82
Episode 82 Fortress (1)
“What is this fortress… what is it!”
It was just a trivial question.
There was something strange about the Queen’s attitude upon hearing that question.
Looking at that attitude.
There was one thing to know.
[Curtain of Shadows]
[Freshness – Best]
[It is a private space where only nobles of the night can come and go freely.] [
It is a world that exists in the imagination that is divorced from reality.] [It is a space
without a clear reality, and it is a space where the members’ imaginations can be reflected. It is reflected as is.]
Only the night nobles of the [Shadow Curtain] can freely come and go
in this place .
‘As for itself. Did you say that it is a place that embodies the members’ imagined world?’
There was no specific mention of it being a vampire-only image.
I’m not sure.
‘This fortress.’
A phenomenon that even she cannot understand is happening.
in other words.
‘It’s not the queen’s territory!’
I was half giving up on surviving.
Let’s realize that.
Suddenly my head started spinning.
‘Originally. There was no way I could survive.’
No matter how good of a cook I am.
In person-to-person combat, they are worse than the warriors in our unit.
That’s me having a 1:1 battle with the boss monster.
Even a 1:1 confrontation in an environment that is more familiar to the enemy.
I thought it was ridiculous.
At best, after waiting as long as possible.
The only way was to wait for other soldiers to somehow come to the rescue.
Even this was difficult to say was a highly likely method.
But now.
Things have changed a little.
‘variable!’
I don’t know why.
This fortress is an unknown space even for her.
‘If you use it well. ‘I might be able to survive.’
In my head, I was thinking about how to make the most of the current situation.
On the outside, he asked as naturally as possible.
“Even if you say so. Isn’t that the one who invited me here? “What’s the problem?”
“Are you going to pretend like you don’t know!?”
How angry was he when he saw the scenery of the fortress?
Her hair floated in the air.
“The veil of shadows is my imaginary world… Originally, this place should have been a sea with beautiful blood-red waves.”
but.
As soon as I landed in this world, what I saw was that fortress.
She talks about a landscape that is completely different from what I have seen.
“The only thing I knew about the scene was my personal bed standing in the middle of it. In fact, it looked that way just a moment ago!”
“however?”
“As soon as you mention that you are a fortress! The landscape has changed!”
indeed.
Let me tell her what I see.
It means that only then did the sight she and I see become the same.
“It’s obvious that you did it. “You’re pretending not to know.”
Jerk.
Angered, she takes a step forward.
“I tried to give you the right to be together. How dare you pollute my world!”
His attitude is completely different from the one he tried to persuade me of the Archduke and the Prime Minister just a moment ago.
Is it really that unpleasant to have brought impurities into one’s world?
He seemed genuinely angry.
‘Negotiations were bad.’
Look at that attitude.
It doesn’t seem like he has any intention of sending me off gracefully.
“Did you say queen?”
Now that it’s like this.
I don’t think there’s any need for me to have a polite conversation.
“If only I would yield to you. “You’re going to put me in a position like a grand duke?”
“If you are thinking of accepting the offer now, it is too late. “There is no place for me to hand over my world to you, the bastard who polluted it.”
“It’s not that I really want that kind of position.”
Anyway, if you’re going to exchange harsh words.
There is one thing I wanted to point out earlier.
“It’s because I don’t know much about the class system there.”
I’m thinking of going over that part.
Of course.
[Identification of food ingredients (reinforcement)]
“It’s a queen. I will give you the position of Grand Duke. “Puhup.”
What is the queen?
This guy.
“A baronet or something could make me a grand duke. Is that something like that?”
“What what…!”
[Vampire Baronet]
[Ariella von Karstein]
‘I am a Baronet.’
As far as I know.
A class that is stuck at the bottom of the aristocratic system.
No this.
There are degrees of extreme and extreme.
‘Not even a baron. ‘A baronet is a queen?’
Isn’t the distance too far?
How many levels did you jump over?
“I will promise you a general rank for this private. “It sounds like something like that.”
“…dare!”
The queen’s face, who was sitting on a chair, turns red with shame.
okay.
Just as I intended.
‘If the enemy is running towards you in an excited state. One hit is enough.’
From her perspective, it was a fortress that suddenly appeared.
Plus my provocation.
Of course, she is now embarrassed by the sudden situation.
Agitated by my provocation.
in other words.
I have lost my cool judgment.
‘If you have ever lost your judgment.’
No matter how much a monster is stronger than me.
You will be able to find a gap!
After taking out two kitchen knives made by Mr. Park’s grandfather.
I muttered to myself.
‘Use attribute enhancement rights.’
lately.
A trait enhancement ticket obtained by successfully conquering a dungeon.
Although it would be a shame to write it in a place like this.
Isn’t it something you have to live to see first?
[Intermediate Dagger Mastery (Enhancement)]
Suddenly –
“…You!”
The Queen’s right arm.
flew through the air.
* * *
[Intermediate Dagger Mastery (Enhancement)]
The effect of attribute enhancement could be felt by feel.
Unlike food ingredient identification, there are no dramatic changes.
Faster.
Has become sharper. The
right
arm of the Queen swings towards me.
The right arm flies, spraying blood into the air.
“…your bastard. “Give up any thoughts of returning alive.”
A clear effective hit.
but.
That effective hit didn’t make me happy at all.
‘…I aimed for the heart.’
How can you avoid this?
The queen is angry about this fortress.
In addition, provocation to excite the opponent also worked.
The heart is the weak point of vampires.
The blade’s trajectory toward that point was also perfect.
But just before the blade pierced his heart.
The chest area turned into a bloody mist.
My blade passed through the air.
‘Fog.’
Vampires were stronger than ordinary awakened people of the same level.
The reason is the various characteristics that vampires have.
Among them, the most annoying one was Foghwa.
‘In effect, a magical ability that is no different from a second life.’
As soon as my heart turned into fog, I also hastily adjusted the sword’s path.
In the end, he ended up cutting off his right arm.
‘I lost my best chance to attack.’
I should have killed him here.
Will we be able to create another opportunity like this?
“I will never let you die comfortably.”
Although he cut off his right arm.
Unless you can stop breathing.
All it did was make the other person’s anger bigger.
“Suck all the blood flowing through your veins. “I will fill the empty space with my blood.”
“Huh.”
“You will become my puppet, unconscious. I will be at the forefront of the war to create my kingdom. “Like a slave for the rest of my life.”
You’re a puppet.
It’s all good.
“…Seonbong is a bit like that. “A chef is a back-up support job.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. good night. “Let’s have some fun!”
With sharp fingernails.
She is attacking me in earnest.
‘Kkeuch!’
After I narrowly avoided that attack.
‘For now… take care of it!’
The thing I just cut down.
I picked up the vampire queen’s right arm that had fallen on the floor.
and.
‘Splash!’
I ran away with all my might.
“You bastard!? “Where are you going!”
“Would you fight someone like you!?”
Fortunately.
The buff from cooking was maintained.
[Anti-Demon Light]
A buff that gives greater strength against demonic beings.
Thanks to this, I was able to escape as much as possible from the pursuing queen.
‘If it were my usual self… I would have lasted 10 seconds.’
But now the buff is maintained.
There.
“Huh, where is this again?!”
Unlike the first time I thought it was their home ground.
This world…
no.
‘At least this fortress. It’s an unknown space even for that guy.’
Thanks to.
I was able to run away from her for a longer time than I thought.
“Gotcha!”
but.
It wasn’t long either.
“Tsk!”
The queen who follows me and grabs my shoulder.
She pulled my arm and I thought she was going into my arms.
He buried his face into the crook of my neck.
“Ugh!”
grasp!
I barely succeeded in hitting it.
but.
Let’s put our hands on the nape of the neck.
Sticky.
“….”
Sticky blood came out.
“It smells like disgusting paladins, but… the taste of blood is the best.”
The queen who says such things and licks her lips.
The blood that had been flowing through my body not long ago was still smeared around her mouth.
‘I have high stats, so it will be seen as high-quality food from the vampires’ perspective.’
no.
Not only did it taste good, but it was also good for your health.
Her right arm, which I cut off and is still held in my hand.
Rumbling….
The arm regenerates right away.
‘It’s not some kind of alien.’
Even if I fight it somehow and cause damage.
Once the blood is sucked, everything recovers.
It’s obvious that I’ll be defeated even in a simple fight.
This is it.
There is no way a battle could be established.
“Now, are you going to give up?”
Did you really think that victory or defeat was decided?
The angry look from a moment ago was gone.
She approaches with leisurely steps.
‘It was a variable that appeared for a long time… Is this the end?’
I quietly lowered my head in a situation where I couldn’t find an answer.
Right at that moment.
[emergency! emergency! Emergency!]
“…Huh!?”
“What have you done again this time!?”
All over the fortress.
An unidentified mechanical voice rang out.
[Detection of decline in the castle lord’s vitality.]
[Determined as a level 1 crisis.]
‘What does the castle lord say?’
[We begin autonomous situation assessment of the fortress.]
The sound of a machine talking something.
There was no time to understand the meaning of those words.
[Result of autonomous judgment]
[Concluded as a crisis situation in Seongju due to an enemy infiltrating the fortress.]
[Activate the autonomous defense system.]
At the same time.
Gray buildings built inside the fortress.
I thought the shapes of those buildings were distorted.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!
“Ugh!!!”
as it is.
It struck the vampire queen’s body.
‘What is that!?’
Just seeing the building move by itself was shocking enough.
Suddenly attacking the enemy?
[Food material identification (enhancement)]
[Autonomous defense system]
[Lv. Max]
A fortress whose identity not even the queen knows.
A mechanical sound echoing in the air.
Even buildings that move on their own and attack the queen.
It was a series of incomprehensible events.
…no.
‘You shouldn’t try to understand.’
Why bother trying to understand an incomprehensible phenomenon?
It’s a ridiculous waste of time and energy.
Right now, I don’t have the time to do that.
I’m not sure.
One important thing.
‘This fortress. ‘He’s trying to protect me.’
[Caution!]
[As a result of the inspection, it has been confirmed that a complete summoning has not been achieved.]
[Relevant personnel are requested to immediately attempt a correct summoning.] [
The power of the autonomous defense system is greatly reduced.]
[Continuation of the autonomous defense system The time is greatly reduced.]
[It has been confirmed that it is difficult for the fortress to exert its full power.]
[Relevant personnel urgently dispatch defense personnel.]
[We strongly recommend that you participate in the protection of the castle lord.]
“Choo, cluck. Your guy. Where are you going…”
Quang!
“Aaaah!”
Every time the queen tries to approach me.
The surrounding buildings hit his body.
‘Is this time gained? but.’
It’s a little early to be completely reassured.
[The power of the autonomous defense system is greatly reduced.]
[The duration of the autonomous defense system is greatly reduced.]
Those buildings that are helping me now.
The [autonomous defense system] seems to be in a considerably weakened state for some reason.
“This is a fortress with such power. “Wow!”
Quaaaang!
“Even the great founder’s fortress wasn’t this big… Wow!”
Coo!
Right now, I’m having fun beating up the queen.
I’m just preventing them from getting close to me.
It seemed like it couldn’t inflict fatal wounds.
‘While those buildings buy us time. ‘We have to find the answer.’
and.
As always.
My job is a chef.
The answer I can find.
what.
Isn’t it obvious?
“I don’t know why you’re helping me. “I’m just helping you out. Let’s ask for one more thing.”
If only you had decided to help.
I wonder if I can help with this much.
I opened my mouth with mild anticipation.
“I need a place to cook.”
[The order has been received.]
[Activate the navigator system.]
Then.
In your head.
I remembered the path I had to take.
Let’s run along that path with all our might.
A huge building in front of you.
[Restaurant]
[Lv.Max]
Quang!
I kicked down the door and went inside.
In my hand.
[Vampire Baronet’s front leg meat]
I don’t like it at all.
There was one ingredient.
