The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 374

Episode 374: The Magic Mirror (4)

As rumored, the Demon Realm was a terrifying place.

Originally, all the survivors of the association were gathered here now.

A place where you might not have been able to hold out for long and might have had to retreat.

but…….

‘Well, I’m not sure how this is possible, but… … .’

Why are there so many monsters in the Demon Realm?

The man who walks at the forefront and leads the group.

He appeared to be trying to avoid Shin Young-jun.

‘Now that I think about it, it wasn’t just luck that the man-eating bird didn’t attack me the first time. The bird saw that man and avoided him… …!’

‘Wasn’t it a lie that I survived the Demon Realm?’

‘Even so, the monsters avoided it on their own… What on earth happened?’

Those who followed were confused as they did not know English.

That guy knew that the monsters of the Demon Realm hated a scent and put it on his body.

Or maybe it’s knowing the path that monsters hate and leading them.

Or.

… … Gulp.

‘Fearing the stronger one, avoiding them.’

The people who followed behind silently had various imaginations running through their heads.

Nothing was certain.

… … If there was only one thing that was certain.

‘If you just follow that man, you’ll be safe!’

A man who survived several months in the Demon Realm.

To that extent.

If you follow him, no matter how much of a demonic realm it is, you will be able to survive.

With that in mind.

When the group felt somewhat relieved and headed deep into the Demon Realm.

-You… … You… … !

“!?”

In front of me.

I felt a strong magical power.

Kuuung… … .

Chopping down large trees.

A huge beast, probably 5 meters tall, approaches on two feet.

A huge beast with black fur.

Sharp teeth and incredibly dense muscles.

A powerful magical power felt within the body.

Despite its already large size, it has unusually large forelimbs and sharp, pitch-black claws.

Everything tells us that the beast is strong.

That wasn’t the part that shocked people.

-That magic. That red, ominous magic, showing it off without even trying to hide it… … .

The voice in their head.

Those who heard that voice could not help but open their eyes wide in surprise.

That makes sense.

‘That’s not Korean.’

‘But… … I understand.’

All I could hear from up ahead was the sound of a monster growling.

Somehow they could understand what was being said.

Even though it doesn’t use human language.

A monster that can communicate with humans.

‘It’s like that giant’s voice back then… …!’

It’s not just a strong beast-like monster.

Intelligence enough to speak language.

A being who possesses the ability to communicate with people who speak other languages.

The fact that such monsters exist is fairly well known, but few people have actually encountered them.

Most people here know this.

Most monsters just have that kind of ability.

‘It’s so incredibly strong… … !’

The only thing that mattered was that they were powerful beings that couldn’t even be compared to ordinary monsters.

-My wife, it’s the smell of the enemy who took away my black claws… … .

and.

The owner of the voice felt in front of me.

-You don’t even hide that smell, and you roam around my wife’s territory as you please… …!

There is tremendous hostility towards them… … .

No, anger and regret.

With a voice full of resentment.

-I won’t forgive you!!!

“……Shit!”

He lunged at them.

“Who would call it a devil’s paradise? It’s already such a monster… …!”

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

“This is a powerful enemy. Get into formation to deal with it!”

The first enemy you encounter when entering the Demon Realm.

Fortunately, I had expected there would be a fight ever since I heard they were entering the Demon Realm.

It will be a tough fight, but I don’t think it will be a losing one.

At that moment, everyone was taking their weapons and taking their stances.

“Tsk.”

The man walking in front.

Shin Young-jun didn’t even take his hands out of his pockets.

I clicked my tongue as I looked at the monster.

“I heard that this area was pretty much cleared out. What the heck is this?”

“… … ?”

Such a relaxed look.

When people are wondering at that appearance.

Kwaaaa …

-Cough… … !

suddenly.

A huge explosion was heard.

“!?”

When the dust clears.

What people could see was… … .

-This energy… … !

Trying to pounce on people.

A monster that looked extremely powerful.

That monster.

-ma’am……!

-Can’t you shut your mouth, you inferior species?

It looked like he had collapsed after being attacked by something.

* * *

That monster that looked so powerful.

It flies through the forest, destroying trees with its attacks.

‘What is this!’

Damn… .…

From the darkness.

The monster that launched that attack revealed itself.

-ma’am……!

Those who saw that sight.

I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide in surprise.

‘Are we of the same species…?’

The being that appeared in the darkness.

Because it looked exactly like the being that was trying to attack them just a moment ago.

-Madam, don’t you… don’t you remember me?

-Can’t you shut your mouth, you inferior species?

– An inferior species… …! Isn’t my wife of the same species as me!

-That’s a disgusting sound. When are you talking about your own kind? When are you talking about your enemies?

If there is a difference.

A little bigger.

I felt a much stronger magical power.

-I was reborn as a great race under the Queen’s grace!

Only the color of the pupils was strangely red.

‘What the heck is going on?’

Following a sudden monster attack.

The intrusion of a monster that appears to be of the same species as that monster.

It was an embarrassing situation though.

Jo Beom-seok observed his surroundings calmly.

And only then could I notice it.

“It wasn’t just me that intruded….”

A dark forest where light does not penetrate well.

Beyond that shadow, many sounds can be felt.

Let’s turn our gaze to where we feel the presence.

What you see there is.

Swish… … .

Red eyes that shine like jewels in the darkness.

“… … What, what is it?”

“There are more than one or two… … .”

Dozens, hundreds of eyeballs.

I was just quietly observing them.

The magic felt nearby.

The iron has become strangely dark… … .

No, the smell of blood.

‘Each and every one of them is an incredibly powerful monster.’

The experienced Awakened ones adjusted their grips on the weapons in their hands, sweating profusely.

but…….

‘Against all those monsters… … .’

‘Even if we somehow overcome this, the damage will be severe.’

Against the enormous number of red eyes lurking behind me… … .

It was difficult to be certain of victory.

at that time.

-Crunch.

According to what I’ve heard.

After knocking out the monster that was probably her husband, she placed the monster on her shoulder.

That huge beast.

Look down on people.

Gulp… … .

The leaders of each branch standing in front of the monster swallowed dry saliva.

A guy who suddenly appeared and roughly defeated another monster.

It is certainly a powerful, but also extremely aggressive monster.

When people became nervous, thinking that a battle would break out like this.

“hey.”

Against that mighty looking monster.

Shin Young-jun said with a frown.

“Should I look up at you?”

“… … !”

“Hey, Youngjun… …!?”

People were shocked by those words.

‘That crazy guy… …!’

‘I know that person is strong, but… … no matter what, it’s like that!’

‘What kind of courage is that against that number of monsters!’

Shin Young-jun is definitely strong.

However, even if you are strong, there is a limit to how strong you can be.

He must have been seriously injured fighting those ‘giants’ anyway.

It is clear that even the powerful Shin Young-jun has become a little weaker.

Why would you bother to provoke a monster that looks so ferocious at first glance?

“Everyone, get into defensive stance… … !”

I thought a battle would break out like that.

Jo Beom-seok wanted to give the command order right away.

Swish… … .

-I was lacking in my thinking.

The expectations of such people.

It ended up being completely off the mark.

With that giant monster.

A huge number of red eyes hidden in the darkness.

-Please, forgive me… … .

“… … !?”

I bowed my head in front of Shin Young-jun.

* * *

Monsters with powerful magical powers gathered around.

They all bow their heads towards Shin Young-jun.

‘What, what the heck is this… … .’

‘what.’

Especially when it comes to giant monsters that are at the forefront.

He struggled to somehow get his large body out of Shin Young-jun’s sight.

He didn’t just bow his head, he was completely face down on the floor.

It looks so bizarre.

Some people even wondered if that was the monster’s unique fighting stance.

– The Queen’s servant meets the great one.

‘… … Great One???’

While people are confused by the situation they don’t understand.

Shin Young-jun looked down at the monsters and said.

“Have you heard the general situation?”

-Yes. I got a rough idea from the two seniors who came first… … I tried to come out to greet you as soon as I got the call, but I ended up being a little late. Please forgive me.

“Tsk… … I was a little annoyed. But since it’s urgent right now, let’s skip it. Can we consider this your territory from here on out?”

-That’s right.

“Good. Take us to your territory. And tell your queen.”

-Yes. What should I say?

“Your queen’s sworn enemy, Shin Young-jun, has returned.”

In that regard.

There is a hint of bewilderment on the monster’s face.

-The pledgee… … are you talking about?

“Yeah. If you say it like that, I think you’ll understand. And… … .”

The direction he came from.

He said this while looking outside the magic room.

“The enemies must be close, so we need to respond quickly.”

-……yes.

* * *

The monsters hiding in the darkness have revealed themselves.

‘… … It’s not just one or two races, right?’

A huge number of monsters.

They approached the humans and bowed their heads.

“What, what is this?”

“You can get on board.”

“Get on… … .”

People hesitated at Shin Young-jun’s words.

Each monster is large in size.

Two or three people could ride on each monster, so there was more than enough space for everyone here.

“… … Is that really okay?”

“I told you, you have to trust me.”

“… … .”

There’s no escape from this.

People hesitated and climbed onto the backs of the monsters that approached them.

Okay then.

-Okay, let’s go.

“Ugh, ugh!”

Monsters with red eyes.

I started running through the dark forest.

“So, what was that guy earlier? Why did he attack me in your territory?”

-He was once my husband.

Shin Young-jun and the leaders of each branch climbed onto the back of the monster that had first bowed its head.

– When I rebelled against the Queen, I risked my life to help her escape. It is a shameful past. For the crime of showing my claws to the great one, I will have this guy executed in the most cruel way possible… … .

“Don’t be like that. If we keep that guy alive, wouldn’t he be useful?”

-That’s right! Then, I will give this person a chance to escape the inferior species and become a brother.

A giant beast and Shin Young-jun having a conversation that is completely incomprehensible.

“Youngjun… … .”

Those who were riding on the monster’s back looked at Shin Young-jun with anxious expressions.

“What the heck is going on? What are these guys?”

“What the heck.”

They even feel a little bit of fear.

I asked the question cautiously.

“When you were in this demon realm… … what happened… … ?”

Shin Young-jun survived the demonic realm.

When I heard that story.

People didn’t believe it easily, but they accepted it to some extent.

But even in the midst of all that.

What people pictured was a fierce struggle for survival in this extreme environment, the Demon Realm.

Monsters coming from all directions.

I imagined the desperate situation of having to somehow survive each day against those monsters.

however…….

In fact, this is what he showed when he returned to the Demon Realm.

It was beyond their imagination.

‘Monsters are afraid of this man and avoid him… … .’

‘There are even monsters following this guy… …!’

Only then were people able to change their minds.

What Shin Young-jun said about living in the Demon Realm.

It wasn’t a story about a fierce struggle for survival.

Well, rather than that.

‘reign…….’

In this extreme environment of the devil’s realm.

Subdue countless demons under my feet.

Instilling fear in powerful monsters.

As a strong man in the Demon Realm… … .

That which has reigned.
