The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 369



Only Noblemtl

Episode 369: Heat.

[The created emperor, Ariant, has been defeated.]

[Ariant, a world now destroyed.]

[I cut off the head of the being that was the ruler of that world!]

[Gain a large amount of experience points.]

[Level increases]

[Lv.39]

[Experience has reached its maximum!]

[You must complete special achievements to reach level 40.]

[Excess experience points will not be lost, and will be applied collectively when leveling up conditions are met.]

My blade cuts through the giant’s body.

Kuuuuung… … .

A huge neck.

It looks like it’s falling to the floor.

but.

‘It’s harder than I thought.’

This body was so hard.

It was difficult to cut it all at once.

At least the body was able to be cut somehow.

‘The body isn’t everything.’

The blue color of that body was also a fearful color.

What’s even scarier is…

‘The soul contained within it… … .’

In the first place.

The essence of these monsters was soul, not flesh.

So far, I have cut down all the bodies and souls that those monsters possessed.

Thanks to this, I was able to gain the same amount of experience as if I had killed two blue-grade monsters at once.

Like other monsters.

I thought this guy’s soul could be easily torn off as well.

but…….

‘big.’

But trapped deep inside this body.

The spirit was so great.

Even though I’m sleeping deep inside.

So big that you can’t even guess how big it is.

[Food ingredient identification (reinforcement)]

[King of the North Wind and Snow, Winter incarnate, Progenitor of the Frozen Soul, First Falling Frost, Destroyer of Ariant, First Aliver.]

[I am Belsnickel, the King of Frozen Souls.]

[The first being to die in the warm and bountiful world of Ariant.]

[His lonely death gave birth to the existence of the ‘Frozen Soul’ in Ariant, and as he was reborn as a frozen soul, the concept of winter appeared in the warm world of Ariant.]

[Eventually, that winter covered the entire rich world, and Ariant fell into eternal winter.]

[When Ariant’s divinity left the land in disappointment at the destruction of the world, Belsnickel is said to have reigned over the winter-covered world in place of the lost god.]

and.

I could tell the moment I read that message.

‘That’s a being of a different class.’

maybe.

Originally, it was an entity that I would not even be permitted to look at with my naked eyes.

A being who can hold and twist fate with his own power.

A being that can intervene in the birth and death of ordinary lives.

A being that can lead a beautiful, prosperous, and prosperous world to destruction.

‘Transcendent… … .’

The magic that the soul sleeping deep inside exudes.

‘It’s dark.’

Very dark… … .

It was purple in color.

‘It’s purple.’

The pavilion that was built on top of [Cheonsanmu-gwan].

It’s the first color I’ve seen since I saw the magic flowing out of there.

The master of Cheonsanmu-gwan and the guardian deity of Dasmur.

And the devil who met my eyes in the sky over Gangwon-do.

A huge presence that can only be felt from those kinds of guys.

‘It’s right in front of you… … .’

That mighty soul.

Despite being exposed defenselessly by that seal.

[Introduction to Soul Cooking]

‘I can’t ring the bell!’

With my strength, which is only at the beginner level.

I couldn’t cut that soul.

-The King’s body!

-Ahh… … ! The best body we have presented to the King… … !

I managed to cut off the guy’s body.

However, I could not cut down that sleeping soul.

‘Time left!’

I looked at the other giants anxiously.

[Time left until release – 38… … .]

‘There is no time.’

There is less than a minute left until their seal is broken.

I’ve killed 8 giants with their souls intact.

They were even able to successfully destroy the bodies of the giants who were their kings.

but.

‘I can’t leave this soul here.’

A being with this much power.

Even if they are asleep now, what if those guys wake up from their seal?

There was no way to know what effect this king’s power would have on the other giants.

‘What should I do?’

The time given was short.

An entity that cannot be eliminated with my abilities.

But, there is something that should never be left here.

What is the way to solve such an existence?

I thought about it for a short while… … and then…

“Sigh, damn it. What can I do?”

And then I let out a sigh.

He muttered in a small voice.

‘No matter how much I think about it, there’s only one way that comes to mind.’

And I can’t even remove it.

If you can’t leave it here, then you can’t leave it here.

what.

There is only one answer, right?

“Whew… … .”

And then.

After taking a deep breath.

grasp!

I reached out to that soul.

I can’t cut down that soul with my sword, which is only [introductory].

But, I can’t ring the bell.

“I can grab it, damn it!”

No matter how hard the ingredient is.

It should be possible to at least grab it with your hand and move it!

Outstretched hand.

It holds a cold soul made of concrete.

and…….

“!@$!@$!@#!!@!$!!——!!!!!!!”

Out of my mouth.

A piercing scream poured out.

* * *

The moment I held that soul in my hand.

There was a thought that dominated my mind.

‘Ah …

My hands feel like they’re burning.

no.

It’s not burning.

‘It’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold.’

It’s so cold.

The pain just felt like it was burning.

‘It hurts… … It hurts… … You, so… … It hurts… … !’

The greatest pain I have ever felt in my life.

That’s what I felt when I crossed that barrier of heat.

I had to feel the pain of my whole body burning and dying.

but.

‘There’s no comparison… … It’s not possible… … !’

The soul that is now in my hands.

The pain that soul caused was incomparable to what I felt when I crossed that barrier.

‘Tea, I’d rather… … faint… … !’

A ridiculous level of pain.

When this kind of pain comes.

The human brain tends to escape pain by fainting.

‘Tea, rather… … Ju, kill me… … .’

Or.

In shock from that immense pain.

There were many cases where it led to death.

If you think about it.

It might be seen as a foolish decision to rashly touch that soul.

I had already guessed the power that soul possessed.

And yet you stupidly reached out there.

A foolish thing that has nothing to say even when you die… … .

But I win.

Suddenly… … .

Even while my head was dominated by pain.

I grit my teeth.

Lifted up that soul.

‘It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts… …!’

Because my mental power is too strong.

For that reason, it was not possible.

Kwak… … .

Before I held that soul in my hands.

After taking out one of the objects that was hidden in the shadows.

I was holding it in my hand.

[Victimia]

A magical sword that shares the power applied to it with the master who holds it.

[Ability in effect]

[Curse – Eternal Torment]

This sword still had the curse that the chairman of the association had been wielding.

A skill he even threatened to use on me.

The effect of [Eternal Torment] was simple.

[Applications – Death Resistance, Stun Resistance]

[Not applicable – increased pain, severe pain]

“Crunch… … !”

Even in the midst of such pain that it felt like my brain was going to burst and I was going to die.

And never faints.

Can never die.

‘It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts… …!’

Even though my head was filled with only painful screams.

With reason still clearly intact.

I feel the pain vividly.

‘Tea, I’d rather… … die… … !’

In this suffering, even escaping death is not permitted… … .

The power to literally inflict eternal suffering.

To the point where the president of the association could only obtain it after reaching level 30.

It was the ultimate curse in its use as ‘torture’.

I am under the power of that curse.

Without somehow escaping death.

Somehow without fainting.

‘It hurts, it hurts… … It hurts, but… … !’

With clear reason.

Gritting my teeth.

Even in pain, he pulled at the soul he held in his hand.

It really is a dog though.

There was a reason why I had to do this.

‘I can’t leave this guy here… …!’

The one whom these guys praise and call king.

A transcendent being with purple magical powers.

They say it’s sealed.

If those giants were released from their seals.

I don’t know what effect this guy’s power will have on those giants.

It should never have been left in the arms of those giants.

‘But if cutting it doesn’t work… …!’

at last.

Isn’t there only one way left?

‘Take it.’

Percussion.

After somehow transferring the soul I was holding in my hand.

Release the strength in your fingers that were holding it.

Okay then.

Took… … .

[Shadow Curtain]

That bead-like soul.

Rolled into my shadow.

* * *

“Whew… … Whoosh… … Whoosh!!!”

Only after that [Belsnickel] soul rolled into my shadow.

I was able to get some relief from the pain.

‘ㅅ… … ㅅㅅㅅ… … sex… … g… … public… … one thing… … go?’

The remnants of the pain that lingered in my mind are still vivid.

I looked down at my hands, my body trembling.

‘It’s frozen.’

It is a soul that was sleeping while sealed.

It’s not like I’ve demonstrated any special powers.

It’s not even a physical entity.

‘When I grabbed the soul… … there were only 38 seconds left until the seal was released… … .’

After holding such a soul.

All it took was the time it took to be in my shadow.

[Time left until release – 36… … .]

It only lasted two seconds.

Just 2 seconds.

All this time, just by ‘touching’ the guy’s soul.

If [Victoria] hadn’t been there, I would have felt pain that would have caused me to die from shock.

My hands were just frozen.

“… … Phew!”

Crunch-

I swung the dagger in my hand and struck the frozen hand.

The ice shatters, and the pieces of my flesh inside it shatter and scatter.

Swish… … .

Blood flows from the wound.

[Noble of the Night]’s blood was seen restoring the severed hand.

Although the recovery rate has slowed down.

It’s just delayed, it’s not gone.

In the case of the regenerative powers received by the president of the association by surrendering to these guys.

The permanently damaged areas could only be replaced with ice… … .

‘The blood of the night’s nobility is its distant superior.’

The severed area will soon regenerate perfectly.

-Wh, what did you do?

-Can’t you feel the king’s spirit?

As I was thinking about that.

The giants’ voices are heard in confusion.

The giants are sealed and cannot move.

In the meantime, they touched the king who was at the very back of them.

‘Even if you turn your head and look in my direction, you won’t be able to see me.’

You probably have no idea what I’ve done.

In the midst of all this, their king’s presence suddenly disappeared.

-Wow, is the king dead?

-No, no. He’s not back. I can feel it very faintly…

-Then where are you?

It seems they don’t even notice that I have put their king in the shadows.

‘When you enter the shadow curtain, no matter how strong the energy is, it becomes weakened to some extent.’

The king’s spirit suddenly weakened.

They looked very embarrassed.

-You… … You… … !

-I will never, ever forgive you… … !

… … By the way.

It seemed like I had no more time to relax.

[Time left until the seal is lifted… … 8]

Gugugugugu… … .

Is the seal almost broken?

A large vibration is felt from the bodies of the giants who were unable to move.

“Well then, I think I’ve done everything I had to do… …!”

and.

After I crossed between those giants.

“Hello everyone!”

-Nenooooooooooooooo… … !!!

“I’m annoyed by the meeting, let’s never meet again!”

Give it your all.

He started to run away towards the outside of the gate.

* * *

[Time left until release… … 0]

at last.

The seal is completely released.

Kugu Palace… … .

-Ah, ahh… … .

-The freedom I’ve been looking for has finally come!

The sealed ice giants.

It starts to move.

-Revenge… …I must get revenge.

-Revenge for my brothers!

Giants of great strength.

It was the moment when they regained their freedom.

but…….

-Rather than that, we must look after the king’s safety first!

-… … !

fortunately.

The guys didn’t seem to have the luxury of chasing me right away.

I ran as far away as I could.

I turned around slowly and looked at the giants.

-Wow, the king’s body… … .

A huge corpse that I cut down.

Those guys surrounding that body.

They seemed to have fallen into deep despair, as they could not properly sense the spirit of their king.

-The body can be replaced at any time. It is important to collect the remains, but… … more than that, we must find the king’s soul!

-Why does my soul feel weak?

-As if they had forced a delay in releasing our seal. They might have done something to the king’s remains.

-There is a possibility that the King’s soul has fallen deep into that body. We must go in to find it… … !

The guys have a solution to that problem.

It seemed that for now, I had decided to examine the body of the king I had handed over.

‘……thank god.’

This is completely nonsense.

I guess I should say I’m lucky.

[The Wise One Iterek’s Manicured Soul]

[The Manicured Soul of the Extreme Saint Ballet]

[The Manicured Soul of Anador the Understood]

Those who seem to have the knowledge to understand even such things.

It had already been groomed and was in my shadow.

[Knight Commander of the Frozen Kingdom, Ariadon, Spear of Ice]

[Sharp Forest Warrior, Glacial Hammer Ollodon]

Those guys left over there.

Just looking at their names, you can tell they’re all focused on combat.

‘I was wondering what I would do if I ran out right away… … If those guys hang on to me, I’ll have some leeway.’

I’ve done everything I can here.

20 boss-level monsters that emit blue magical powers.

A body of blue magic power in one.

One soul of purple magic.

I killed 8 of them.

Cut down the mighty body that contained the blue magic.

They even stole the soul of their king.

‘Is this the limit for just 10 minutes?’

The maximum possible performance within a given time.

‘It’s a bit overwhelming when you think there are still 12 left… … !’

Still, it’s almost like cutting off half of it.

and…….

The effects were immediately apparent.

[You have left the gate!]

“… … Huh, hh.”

The result of running with all your might.

After exiting the gate.

While running towards where the allies are.

I am.

I could feel an awkward sensation that I hadn’t felt in a while.

Let’s raise our hand and place it on our forehead.

Damp… … .

There.

I felt a thick humidity.

“sweat…….”

Because I was running with all my might.

The body temperature rose.

‘It’s hot… … .’

After taking off the thick outerwear I bought at the store.

He just throws it somewhere nearby and continues running.

‘uh?’

And just before the clothes thrown like that hit the floor.

I could barely realize it.

After moving to Gyeonggi-do.

An experience like I’ve never felt before.

“… …It’s hot?”

The heat.

I was feeling it.
