The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 366



Only Noblemtl

Episode 366: You were here.

A path that must lead inside the gate anyway.

As I stepped inside.

Toouk.

chin.

The flesh of all the monsters that stand in my way.

Push it gently behind me.

Thanks to that, I was able to move forward a little faster even though I was in a mess.

Swish… … .

The bodies of the fallen monsters were left as they were.

I entered into my shadow.

‘weigh!’

After moving to Gyeonggi-do.

I did try to supplement the ingredients in my own way.

It was definitely defective compared to the materials that could be obtained from the legion.

There was a shortage of meat from monsters with particularly strong powers… … .

‘I didn’t know I could supplement like this here!’

The number of monsters gathered is also a number.

The type and quality were beyond imagination.

There must be monsters with strange characteristics that I couldn’t even imagine.

‘They keep the corpses of so many different monsters so fresh.’

It was different from the corpses that were received in exchange for payment from other awakened people in Gangwon-do.

The level of the Awakened is bound to be lower than that of the Legion.

The quality of the corpses was poor compared to the corpses of the monsters the Legion supplied itself.

the other side.

What we have here are the corpses of monsters that those evil spirits have carefully selected and made into their own bodies.

‘At least dark orange… … .’

The yellow magic monster was so powerful that it could be run over.

There were also quite a few green magic monsters.

Of course, the fighting is still going on outside.

I literally just shadow the monsters in my path.

There wasn’t any time to choose.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

Still.

The number of monsters piling up in the shadows had already reached hundreds.

Even… … .

Because we were moving too quickly.

Clang!

“Oh, mistake… … That thing is completely broken.”

The frozen corpses of monsters.

If you push it into a slightly weird place.

There were also many cases where it would fall over and break.

‘Well, the amount I’ve already collected is ridiculous.’

I don’t mind if it breaks to some extent.

To put it bluntly, the corpses of monsters.

Whatever happened, it didn’t really matter to me.

okay.

Anyway, I don’t care.

-!@!%!%!!!!

“That thing is really noisy! Someone could accidentally break it.”

To the guys up there.

It seemed like something very relevant.

“It’s already a dead monster corpse anyway. It doesn’t make much of a difference if it’s broken a little.”

-!@%!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get angry every time I put a corpse in the shadows.

These guys are so shocked that they go beyond anger when they accidentally break something.

Well, whatever.

Bam, bang.

Clang.

Swish.

Wow… … !

“Ah… … Ugh. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

-!@%!@*#$!!!!!!!!

The result of accidentally pushing a corpse.

Hundreds of corpses fall at once, like dominoes.

“Oh my gosh, I’m surprised! I accidentally woke up again because I was so surprised. It’s your fault.”

-#@$!!.!… … !!!!

I was startled by the guys’ screams.

I even accidentally broke a corpse that I wouldn’t have even put in my shadow.

Ignoring the screams of the spirits heard above my head.

After walking for a while.

-……stop.

“huh?”

That’s what I heard before.

Unlike the screams of souls that could not be heard.

-Stop it… …Stop it.

-Please, just stop there… … .

A heavy voice that is clearly audible.

I felt it seeping into my soul.

* * *

-Please, just stop there… … .

The other spirits were saying something too.

I couldn’t understand it because it wasn’t human language.

but.

‘This is different.’

The beings who have spoken to me just now.

What the guys said was not audible to my ears.

A voice that seems to seep into my soul.

Language that uses the soul as a medium, not the air.

‘It is the ability to convey one’s intentions as they are.’

This kind of ability was quite uncommon.

And based on my experience so far.

“You are the masters of this gate.”

Such beings.

In many cases, it retained considerable strength.

-Oh, that’s right. So.

-Stop… …Stop it.

I tried to guess where the voice was coming from.

It didn’t seem to be coming from among the souls gathered above me.

‘A little further inside.’

A voice comes from deep within this citadel.

-Stop taking the old bodies of your brothers and insulting them, you guardian spirit of the indigenous species.

“……tutelar?”

-Or is it a guardian angel? I don’t know exactly what it is, but just stop it.

That voice that clearly conveys the confusion.

“Stop, please… … .”

In response to that earnest request.

I smiled lightly.

Clang!

“What can I do if you don’t like it?”

-… … .

He said, pushing another corpse behind me.

Unfortunately, the frozen body that failed to enter the shadows was brutally shattered.

‘I don’t know for sure. Do these guys even care about this corpse-like body?’

From their perspective, these bodies are probably already unusable.

I’m not sure if you can do anything with this though.

It seemed that they did not like the idea of ​​manipulating this body.

‘I don’t know if it’s for religious reasons or what.’

anyway.

Those guys got the wrong guy.

“You deceived us and forced us into this bitter cold.”

-… … .

“At that time, humanity was unable to resist and had no choice but to take it. Well, this world had become a place where only the strong could survive. I understand. But… … .”

Those guys who caused me a lot of annoyance.

Against those guys.

“Now the situation is reversed?”

I figured out what I hate.

There is no reason not to do it, right?

Clang!

“If I do this, what else can you do besides praying?”

I broke another corpse without hesitation.

He said as he prepared to break the other corpses.

-That is certainly true.

What you hear next is.

It was a being with a different voice than the one that first spoke to me.

-Even if you refuse, we can’t force you to do as we say.

Unlike the previous guy, he speaks in a slightly more humble tone.

I thought he changed his attitude because I came across as strong, but that wasn’t the case.

In addition to that.

-I understand that you are hostile to us.

-But little child, isn’t it possible to at least make a deal with the enemy?

A strangely chaotic tone and voice.

Only then could I realize it.

‘… … These guys. There’s more than one or two of them.’

Monsters with the power to speak directly to other people’s souls.

There are more than one or two guys like that.

‘Just by the voices I can hear right now, there are at least five.’

I don’t know what condition these guys are in though.

If he was able to move, it seemed like he would be a very difficult opponent.

-Can you promise me you’ll stop doing that?

-If you do so, we will give you what you seek.

If there is one thing that is fortunate.

The guys couldn’t stop my actions right away.

It seemed like the only way to convince me was to try to persuade me with words.

“It’s a deal.”

Damn… … .

“Do you guys know what I’m looking for?”

-How dare you… …say something that seems to look down on us.

I didn’t let my guard down.

He said as he continued walking inside.

-What you want… … .

-I can’t understand why a being as small as you would protect those lowly bugs.

-I know you care about those native species, you ‘native species’ defender.

They said something like that.

At that moment.

Kuuuung… … .

“… … ?”

A spacious palace.

A faint glow appeared in one corner.

-What you want is there.

“……hmm.”

Cold snow begins to fall on top of it.

‘It’s not far.’

The route I take.

A place on the path leading deep into the gate.

‘It might be a trap, but… … .’

It’s a place that’s on the way anyway.

I don’t think stopping there will delay your journey deep into the gate.

I think I’m being fooled.

Headed there.

-I will give you what you want more than anything.

-Oh, you should know that if it weren’t for our guidance, there’s a very high chance that you wouldn’t have found that place.

We move forward, clearing away the corpses of monsters.

A place appears where the snow piled up from the ceiling has gently fallen.

and…….

The moment I got there.

-Stop approaching inside and stop insulting your brothers’ old bodies.

“… … .”

-This is a tribute offered for him.

I am.

I couldn’t help but be so surprised that I couldn’t even hear what the guys were saying properly.

That makes sense.

What’s there is.

-They are bugs that have not yet become our brothers. They are of no use to us.

-It must be precious to you. Please accept our offering and step aside… … .

In a state of unconsciousness.

Trapped in a large egg made of ice.

“human being…….”

Because it was the appearance of people.

* * *

In a state of unconsciousness.

Trapped naked in that cold ice.

Humans who are just waiting for the day to hand over their bodies to evil spirits.

‘No, not all humans are like that.’

There were also bodies of unidentifiable monsters around.

Unlike other monsters I’ve seen since coming here.

They were clearly still living monsters.

in other words.

“It looks like all the bodies that are supposed to be used as new bodies are gathered here.”

-Yes.

This place.

It’s a place where they gather their spare bodies.

Unlike before, I’ve been going around destroying other monsters’ bodies.

I moved forward cautiously, avoiding the chunks of ice that got in my way.

and.

[Awakened – Sung Jin Hye]

[Intermediate Priest Lv.28]

‘It’s my first time seeing your face, but… … you’re a fairly high-level Awakened user.’

I looked at the human body at the very front.

A young woman with a playful-looking face.

‘Is he a member of the association? Or a strong person who survived independently of the association?’

Among those I’ve seen in Gyeonggi-do, he’s the second highest level after the association president.

It’s my first time seeing your face.

If the humans of the Association saw him, he might be someone they would recognize immediately.

Besides her.

Among the frozen monsters.

Many humans were asleep, trapped in the ice.

“… … I have a question.”

-Anything.

I tried my best to hide my emotional turmoil.

I looked around between them, talking to the guys.

“What is their status now?”

-You can assume he’s asleep.

“Why are you asleep?”

-Most of the native species were tortured directly by the gatekeeper outside, causing their souls to fall. It was a fairly simple and effective method, but there were rare strong souls that endured it.

“… … .”

-Somehow I managed to put that soul to sleep. However, it is not easy to penetrate the minds of those with strong souls. So, I was currently working on breaking down that soul’s barrier and opening a gap for infiltration. That is the space where the plan unfolds.

The evil spirit who was pretending to be ‘Jang Ji-han’ said.

Most of the raiding party lost their bodies to themselves.

There is still a ‘20%’ that has not been conquered.

‘Among the awakened members of the raiding party, those with strong souls.’

Other people have weak souls to begin with.

Or maybe he was suffering from some kind of soul disease.

When you end up offering your body to the enemy.

‘They endured it.’

The people here.

We have continued to overcome and endure the invasions of those evil spirits.

-There’s not much time left until the grand plan is finalized… …But I won’t mind. I’ll give you as much as you want.

-So… …take them and leave.

and.

What I was looking for among them was something else.

The fight in that city.

I tried my best to concentrate and search throughout the fight.

A face that was completely invisible.

but.

I am confident that if you just take a quick look, you will never pass it by.

That face.

“iced coffee…….”

And a little later.

‘Where on earth did you go, I’ve been looking for you for so long… …!’

I finally.

[Awakened – Shin Seok-jun]

[Lv.22 Intermediate Support Sorcerer]

[Awakened – Seo Young-hee]

[Lv. 24 Intermediate Guardian]

“You were here.”

I was able to find some familiar faces.
