The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 458



Only Noblemtl

Question 458.

The next day.

We are the masters of the next treatment… … .

I moved to another location in Seoul to subdue the monster the doctor had requested.

-This opponent is also someone I had given up on capturing.

The next enemy position was not a military base.

A monster that claims an entire large park in Seoul as its territory.

-If it’s a legion, then it’s possible.

and.

Arriving in front of that area, I turned my head and looked at a soldier.

“Jeong Su-ah.”

“yes.”

A soldier responds to my call with a nervous expression.

The deep anguish that had been seen on his face the day before had largely disappeared.

but.

‘I guess there’s still something left.’

If it is as you feel in [Taste Enhancement].

There was still a lump inside her.

But she proved her usefulness by even feeding her food.

Besides being useful, it seems like there’s something left inside.

Unlike other soldiers.

This time, Jeong Su-ah looked particularly agitated.

There must be some other reason.

‘… … It’s not something to think about now.’

but.

This is not something that can be resolved leisurely in Seoul.

After finishing everything and returning to the legion.

Taking the time to consult or do something.

“Okay, let’s begin.”

“… …Loyalty!”

What to do now is.

It was about taking down the enemy.

[Spirit Plan]

[Food ingredient identification (reinforcement)]

[Chef’s Eyes]

Through Jeong Su-ah’s spirit eye.

I check the appearance of the enemy staying inside.

{… … !?}

I was just lying down and resting in the middle of a small park.

The way they react by flinching as soon as our gaze meets theirs.

“Oh, I see you noticed.”

Even spirits are not invincible.

Since it is not a being with physical substance, its existence is mostly undetectable.

Those who are particularly sensitive to magic may notice its presence.

[Wandering Clown Telepol]

but.

This was enough.

“Bangul, the summons has been released.”

“Okay. I’ll get ready right away.”

Observations made from extremely long distances.

Even if you discover the existence of a spirit, just immediately lift the summoning and that’s it.

No matter how sensitive a being is to magic.

Because it would be impossible to know the location of the spirit master connected to that spirit.

{I don’t know what kind of people they are.}

and.

After we finished preparing, we went to find the guy ourselves.

{The toys came to me on their own. I’m so grateful.}

Behind the guy who checked us out.

A hole appears, shimmering with a faint gray glow.

and.

Swish… … .

The guy threw himself behind her.

The monster that had been in front of my eyes just a moment ago disappeared.

According to [Food Ingredient Identification (Reinforcement)].

The wandering jester was a monster with quite unusual abilities.

“Moved!”

“check!”

That makes sense.

{hi?}

“… … !”

This guy.

Because it was a monster that could move through space.

“Shit!”

“Why did it have to be the commander from the beginning… …!”

Of all the enemies I’ve met so far.

There were many monsters with various abilities, but not a single one could move through space.

‘What the heck is this neighborhood!’

Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

I was able to realize anew how mysterious and powerful the monsters that appeared in that land were.

but.

Kaang!

{What are you… … .}

A 3 meter tall monster appeared behind me.

The guy frowned and said, distancing himself from me.

{It’s not just a toy.}

On the leather of the back of the guy’s hand.

There was a long, torn knife wound.

“It is certainly a strange ability.”

and.

I looked at that guy and muttered.

“It’s not that hard to take care of.”

{… … .}

As it has powerful abilities.

That guy’s body wasn’t that strong.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s weak.

If I include those abilities and physical abilities.

A monster of comparable level to the ‘Abalos’ that was defeated just before.

Still.

I didn’t think I’d be easy on that guy.

‘I feel light.’

Kaang!

{How dare you… …!}

The effectiveness of expensive treatment.

Because it was definitely showing on my body.

And after that.

The guy moved freely through space and fought against me and my men.

and.

I looked around the park while fighting with the guy.

[Food ingredient identification (reinforcement)]

[old bones]

[Freshness – Lowest]

[An old bone that appears to belong to a primate.]

All over the park, the corpses of all kinds of creatures were displayed in grotesque ways.

Among them, there were many that still had some flesh left.

To say that they hunted for food.

Excessive amounts of bones and corpses.

When that guy saw us, he said something about making us into toys.

As you said.

‘There are human bones too.’

He does it through that powerful force.

He must have been using those weaker than him as toys.

‘thanks.’

For the treatment of my body.

Although it felt a little awkward to pay someone else for it.

‘Because he’s a guy you don’t even have to hesitate about.’

Such worries.

Looks like you don’t have to do it.

and.

A little later.

“Jeong Su-ah!”

“yes!”

I pointed to a place in the park and shouted.

Jeong Su-ah looked at the place and stretched out her hand.

Okay then.

Paaaaak!

Formed at the place I pointed to.

A water drop of enormous size.

{It seems like you’re quite confident in your strength.}

and.

A little later.

{Even so, it’ll only be a slightly sturdy toy… … .}

The wandering clown who moved through space again… … .

{Kekekekekekekekeke!!!}

Trapped in that water.

He let out a scream of pain.

* * *

{Oh my goodness! This time it didn’t even take half a day!}

Let’s capture the ‘Wandering Clown’ and return to Gangnam.

The doctor couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw us like that.

{That guy was one of the best hunters in this land. He would appear behind his prey when they were unaware of him, subdue them, take them to his territory, keep them alive for as long as possible, torture them, and enjoy their screams.}

“… … I expected it to be bad, but I didn’t know it would be that bad.”

{How on earth did he do it? Even I couldn’t figure out how to catch that guy. I had to be afraid that he would show up behind me and try to take my life.}

In that regard.

I shrugged and answered.

“It is a powerful ability, but the guy himself isn’t that strong.”

{That ability being strong enough would be enough.}

“That’s true, but… … if you can’t even handle that ability properly, then it’s a different story.”

As shown in [Food Ingredient Identification (Reinforcement)].

“As it is a powerful ability, it requires a tremendous amount of pure magical power to be able to use it.”

{so?}

“The guy’s magical power is certainly strong, but it’s not enough to continuously display that ability. If we fight defensively as much as possible and the battle goes on for a long time… … .”

I remembered the grayish-white hole the guy had made.

The guy’s superpower is the power to create holes that pass through space.

And then, when the hole couldn’t be made any more.

“I expected that they would reuse the hole they had made before.”

{… … .}

“If you predict where it will move, it is not difficult to deal with it. Just set a trap there.”

Once the guy moved through space, he placed water through the purifier.

The density of water is incredibly dense.

There’s no need to describe the shock inflicted on the guy when such water suddenly appeared in such a place.

“The only variable was that the guy ran away… … Maybe because he lived as such a strong guy, he didn’t even think that he would become prey.”

{… … .}

Let me conclude my explanation like that.

The ‘doctor’ paused for a moment, then asked in a quiet voice.

{Commander… … always do you fight battles like this?}

“Hmm? Not always, but usually.”

After finding out enemy information in advance.

Prepare cooking and strategy accordingly and deal with them.

This is my most basic tactic.

{I heard that guy is one of the best hunters in this land.}

and.

What did they think of me like that?

{The greatest hunter… … stands before me.}

In the guy’s voice.

There was a strange fear in it.

* * *

{As the commander said, the bastard’s ability is certainly powerful, but it requires a large amount of pure magic power to exert that ability.}

A few hours later.

A voice comes to me as I lie in bed.

{That means that the guy’s body needs organs to store that large amount of pure magical power.}

“……indeed.”

{I transplanted that mana hole.}

As soon as I caught the wandering clown and handed him over.

The guy’s second treatment is underway.

{The commander will probably feel it too. The magical power that moves the body moves much more easily… … and its amount has also increased.}

It was exactly as he said.

‘I was originally confident in my stats, but… … .’

The ‘Magic Power’ stat that appeared on my status screen was an absurd number.

but.

I have never seen my magic power surpass other Awakened Ones… … .

In particular, I never felt that they were significantly stronger than wizards.

{It seems that the Legion Commander’s race was not very familiar with magic. There was a recently created mana hole, but it was used so aggressively that only a form remained.}

In the past, I just thought it was because I wasn’t a combat veteran and let it go.

Now I understand.

‘The system granted me a tremendous amount of magical power… …but my body couldn’t properly contain it.’

Not anymore.

An overwhelmingly powerful magical power felt within the body.

Quagwaquagwa… … .

Let’s move that force a little just in case.

I felt an intangible force moving through my body with unprecedented ease.

“… … I didn’t even know there was a organ with this name. Even the therapists in our unit didn’t say anything about it.”

{I said it was a long-term organ, but it’s not the type of organ that the indigenous species thinks of. It’s easier to think of it as an organ without a physical form made of magic… … It’s often the case that low-level healers don’t know about it. It would be a great help if you could share this information with the healers of the Legion.}

That probably isn’t a joke.

Just like I was able to greatly improve my level by exchanging information with Howard.

If we teach our unit members the information that guy gave us, they too will be able to grow greatly based on that realization.

‘… … I feel sorry for taking so much.’

Since that Cheonsanmu-gwan.

It was as if I had never gotten this much from an otherworldly being.

“This mana hole, can it hold multiple things like that?”

{Hmm? That’s not uncommon. Usually there’s only one.}

“Then, unlike the previous tendon, this one is only for my use. Is that okay?”

{It would be a lie to say that it is not a waste. However, if it is a Mana Hole, there are extra materials. It is rare to find something the size of a legion commander would fit. However, there is not a single item of that level.}

The materials used in this treatment must have been quite precious.

And yet, the person who wrote this to me… … .

{Well, I think it’s worth investing in this much. Besides Manahole, I’ve also collected other things as medical expenses.}

Like I said last time.

It might be because that guy wants to build a friendly relationship with us.

‘Friendly relations… …’

Although it is a monster so ugly that it is hard to look at.

Compared to any other worldly beings I’ve encountered so far, there has never been a case where cooperation has proceeded this smoothly.

Even the relationship with Cheon San Mu Gwan or Borjin wasn’t this easy.

“hey.”

{Why are you like that?}

hmm.

then.

“I have a few questions.”

{If you want advice on your physical condition or health management, I’ll be happy to give it to you. First of all, the most important thing is to improve your eating and living habits. If you eat well and exercise appropriately, most illnesses will… }

“No, not that.”

Anyway, after this surgery, you will have to lie in bed for several hours to rest.

Since I have nothing to do in the meantime.

“That other world… …when you met me in another Seoul.”

{Oh, that’s when. I was surprised when a strange two-dimensional space suddenly appeared in this space.}

“It was [Godmother] who created that second dimension. I don’t know how much you know about her, but… … .”

Still.

There was one thing I knew for sure.

“Still, it was an incredibly powerful being.”

actually.

That’s what I wanted to ask the guy from the other world when he helped us.

“What I want to ask is this.”

{… … .}

“Why did you help us… … even while standing up to such a powerful being?”

To my question:

The ‘taste’ that was coming from that guy…

began to change rapidly.
