The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 83
Episode 83: Fortress (2)
[Restaurant]
[Lv. Max]
Let’s follow the directions that come to mind.
What we arrived at was a huge restaurant.
Quang!
Let’s kick down the restaurant’s door and go inside.
A message fills your eyes.
[Restaurant Lv. Max is activated.]
[The chef’s skill level is corrected.]
[A bonus is added to the cooking result.]
This can’t be right.
‘…Buff?’
A building that gives you a buff just by entering it.
From my perspective, it’s not a bad thing.
‘The inside… has a similar structure to a kitchen.’
I was worried about what to do if it was a restaurant with a structure I knew nothing about.
Fortunately, it felt like an ordinary military kitchen.
‘There is no time to look around.’
Even now, the vampire queen is chasing me.
There is no telling how long this thing called [Autonomous Defense System] will last.
I immediately.
I laid out the ingredients for the dish.
[Vampire Baronet’s front leg meat]
“….”
The queen I cut off earlier.
Not this, but the baronet’s arm.
When I picked it up, I fell into a brief thought.
‘Can I cook this?’
Unlike the monsters I’ve cooked so far.
Although that vampire was of a different race, its appearance was similar to that of a human.
‘Among other ingredients… there is nothing that can compete with that guy.’
Cooking and eating that arm.
It’s so horrible that it makes me nauseous.
but.
‘What if I don’t eat it? Are you just going to die here?’
My goal is always one.
To survive.
For that purpose.
I feel a little nauseous.
“I guess this is what I have to endure. Shit!”
towards that arm.
I swung a kitchen knife.
[Intermediate Cooking Secret – ‘Enlightenment on how to groom a vampire’]
Awakening of unique talent.
Reinforcement of intermediate dagger skills.
My cutting speed while cooking has become so fast that it is difficult to compare it to before.
After placing the prepared ingredients on the pan.
Light the fire and stir-fry.
finally.
If you sprinkle [special sauce] on it.
[Stir-fried fat from the Vampire Baronet of Extreme Thirsty]
[Stir-fried meat made from fresh front leg meat of the Vampire Baronet.]
[Restaurant Lv. A bonus is given by the Max effect.]
[All attribute effects of the person who consumes the dish are increased by 50%.]
I.
I managed to chew the meat while suppressing the rising nausea.
“Wow….”
Then.
A trait that will be activated soon.
[Skill – Do you want to activate Absolute Taste?]
“Activate.”
[Please select the desired characteristic.]
[Fog]
[Dark Affinity]
[Charm]
[Super Regeneration]
[Divine Power Weakening]
Various characteristics are listed in front of you.
but.
There was no need to read the other characteristics.
The characteristics I need are:
Just one.
[You have selected a characteristic.]
[Temporarily acquire a new characteristic.]
[Due to the penalty of Absolute Taste, the effects of all cooking, including ‘Light of Anti-Demon’, are removed.]
Absolute, which allows you to acquire one characteristic of a cooking ingredient. taste.
Instead, the moment you use that effect, other buffs disappear.
A bright light that gave tremendous vitality to the body.
The light is fading.
[Caution!]
[The autonomous defense system is forced to shut down due to a decrease in power.]
[The crisis situation in Seongju has not ended.]
[Relevant personnel must urgently-]
The resounding mechanical sound is.
It was announced that the attack on the fortress that protected me was over.
“I don’t know what you did, but… you.”
Let’s turn our heads.
I saw a vampire standing in front of the door of the restaurant.
“Are you weak?”
I guess I was hit hard by the [autonomous defense system].
Even though she was an ugly queen.
Did he notice that the light of my anti-dark horse had disappeared?
She approaches smiling leisurely.
“It was a really grueling fight.”
Now that I’ve lost the buff.
I tried my best to resist.
“ruler. It’s time to be a family.”
“Ugh…!”
Kwasik!
She broke through my resistance and came into my arms like before.
He smiled a wicked smile and sank his teeth into my neck.
Churp –
I can feel the blood inside my body being sucked into her mouth.
“Big huh.”
If it goes on like this.
Either I suck out all the blood and die without even being able to resist properly.
Otherwise, you will become one of her descendants and live as a slave for the rest of your life.
And I am.
‘I don’t want that to happen.’
So what I did was simple.
If she’s biting the back of my neck.
Same goes for me.
Kwasik!
He buried his lips into the queen’s neck.
“…What!?”
Unfortunately, I don’t have any fangs.
Let’s bite the nape of her neck as roughly as we can with our teeth.
A sticky liquid that tasted like iron touched my tongue.
[Attribute – Vampirism activates.]
This is it.
A trait acquired through [Absolute Taste].
[Vampirism]
[For vampires, the act of drinking blood has many meanings.] [
It is a ritual to increase strength, and it is also a rest to recover physical strength.] [
It is also a meal to sustain life.]
[ Recovers vitality through blood sucking.]
[You can temporarily increase your stats through blood sucking.]
Blood flowing from a wounded blood vessel.
I sucked the blood out as hard as I could.
[This is very high-quality blood.]
[The efficiency of vampires increases significantly!]
[All abilities temporarily increase slightly.]
A body that has become helpless.
Some vitality began to return.
“What did you do!?”
A queen who came to drink my blood.
She is now in a position to be consumed by me.
“Have you really gone crazy!?”
An enemy that sucks blood from itself using its own characteristics.
It seemed like he was quite embarrassed by its existence.
She takes her mouth off my neck and screams.
‘How stupid!’
When she mouths and screams.
I didn’t miss that opportunity.
With even more force, he sucks the queen’s blood.
‘It doesn’t taste bad, though.’
[You have sucked a large amount of very high-quality blood!]
[All stats are permanently increased slightly.] With my
high stats, I must have seemed like a high-quality meal to the vampires.
But no matter how much my blood says I eat high quality food.
‘Vampires. It won’t even be of better quality than the blood of the monster that is its leader.’
If they repeat blood sucking from each other.
I am the one who gets to drink better quality blood.
“Ugh!”
The queen tried to push my head away.
“Let go of the paddle!”
“I can’t go.”
I caught the guy who was about to fall and roughly hugged him.
In a short period of time, his abilities increased considerably due to the influence of the blood he had absorbed.
On the other hand, she had exhausted a lot of her strength due to being beaten by the [Autonomous Defense System].
If it’s like this.
As long as you hold on to it, it is possible.
‘If we go back to battle. ‘You can never win!’
No matter what happens, you must not let go.
If you have any concerns, it’s fog.
She turned into fog and escaped my embrace.
‘There’s a cooldown for fog fire, right?’
It’s been less than five minutes since I used my knife to stop it from piercing my heart.
There is no means of escape.
“Damn it, how did the main girl end up like this!”
Realizing that fact, the Queen sank her teeth into the back of my neck again.
like that.
The direction of the game has completely changed.
Just as I intended.
‘There is no hope of winning through battle… so let’s change the sport.’
The conditions were the same for both sides.
The more blood is sucked, the less vitality and ability points are taken away.
Conversely, the more blood is sucked, the more vitality is recovered and ability points can be taken away.
‘It’s a competition to see who can absorb everything from the other person faster…!’
Chulp…
gulp. Gulp.
dark space.
The only sound that could be heard was the sound of something being sucked in.
Well, if a third party sees it.
It might look like a scene of passionate lovers rubbing their lips against each other’s necks.
but.
The reality was completely different.
‘If it’s even a little late. I’m dying.’
A fierce struggle for each other’s lives.
Those people were originally vampires.
On the other hand, I only borrowed the trait of human bloodsucking.
It would be normal for there to be no competition.
‘me too. ‘There are a few targets.’
[Vampire sucking is also a meal to sustain life.]
‘Vampire sucking’ is the act of eating.
Here blood is considered food.
[The effect of absolute taste is activated.]
The conditions for activation of ‘absolute taste’ have been met.
Due to the bonus of [Restaurant Lv.Max].
The effect of my characteristics acquired through cooking increases by 50%.
[The effects obtained from food are greatly increased.]
[Vitality is restored.]
[Ability points are increased.]
[Vitality is restored.]
[Ability points are increased.]

like that.
How much time has passed?
“Stop that.”
Thick blood continued to flow down my throat.
My stomach was already complaining of pain, saying it couldn’t take it any more.
“Stop it.”
The sense I apply to cooking is [extreme thirst].
Apart from the pain.
I was still thirsty.
“Didn’t I tell you to stop!”
They begin to lust for each other’s blood.
I didn’t know how long time had passed.
“Bo’s wife was wrong. So please stop.”
“….”
“Blood is no different from the soul of a nobleman of the night. If you take it all, I will. I am.”
From the queen’s roughly embraced body.
I felt my strength gradually decreasing.
“Ah ah… it’s disappearing. The blood of the original woman. The existence of the original woman…!”
“….”
“Like this. I can’t die like this. It’s not like dying under the sun. “Not like this…!”
The result of exchanging blood sucking with each other.
What took more power.
“Please save me.”
I was the one receiving the effect of [Absolute Taste].
“I apologize for my mistake! so. please…!”
“….”
“Please save me. no. sorry. Help me.”
Is it because I lost strength?
Or is it because of fear?
“Sorry Sorry. So please, please spare my life…!”
The queen begins to beg for her life, her whole body shaking.
but.
‘I’m thirsty…’
Unfortunately.
I didn’t have the presence of mind to listen to something like that.
[Of extreme thirst-]
There’s only one thing I care about.
To quench this burning thirst.
[Caution!]
[Excessive blood sucking can cause changes in the body.]
It seemed like a system message came to mind.
While I was busy quenching my thirst, I didn’t have time to worry about such things.
I applied even more force and sucked out the blood.
“I hate poetry… Mom. Dad…”
Gulp.
“Please help me… Please help me. “Sniff.”
gulp.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please save me, please save me, please save me, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please save me, please save me, please save me, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please save me, please save me, please save me.” …”
.
.
.
yet.
Even voices pleading for help can no longer be heard.
Gulp….
in the dark.
Only the sound of the throat being cleared continued to echo.
* * *
[All the magic power required to maintain the Shadow Curtain has been consumed.]
[The Shadow Curtain is canceled.]
While I was frantically quenching my thirst.
It seemed like I saw that message.
And soon.
phut!
I felt my body being thrown somewhere along with strong pressure.
A body flying into the air.
like that.
Just before being expelled from the world of [Shadow Curtain].
I looked down at the ground.
What is there.
A beautiful blood-red sea.
‘indeed. Did it look like that from above?’
And standing tall above that bloody world.
A huge fortress.
no.
Rather than a fortress.
‘Fortress city…’
They say the world will end one day.
Without ever collapsing.
It seems like it will remain firmly in its place.
okay.
It’s like an ark….
[Identification of food ingredients (reinforcement)]
[Mobile fortress – Vimana]
It was my fortress.
* * *
Come to your senses.
“Ahhh…! Look!”
I saw a familiar scene.
A scene of radiant soldiers and a rugged bunker.
‘Ah… did it come out?’
In one hand, I was holding the nape of the queen’s neck, which I was continuously sucking.
‘——!’
‘—? —! ————.”
I could hear the soldiers around me talking about something.
‘What is he saying now.’
but.
It was difficult to understand the content.
He focused only on sucking the queen’s blood to satisfy his thirst.
I was completely out of my mind.
‘Shit. ‘I’m dying of thirst, but I’m making a lot of noise.’
This thirst is still unsatisfied.
If I continued like this, I felt like I would inadvertently sink my teeth into the backs of the soldiers’ necks.
‘No. But that doesn’t work.’
I ignored the soldiers and moved my body to the wall in the corner… and then
slumped down, leaning against the wall.
When I see soldiers, I want to bite them.
I lowered my head so as not to see the soldiers at all.
My throat is still dry.
Because they have sucked in too much blood, their mouths have an unpleasant metallic smell.
Mentally, I was so tired that I wanted to pass out right away.
“Military life….”
Really.
I’m glad I somehow survived.
Still, I must say this.
“It’s so tough….”
