The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 468

Episode 468 Defect (2)
A vibration that began to resonate from somewhere.
The vibrations that turned into an earthquake that filled the entire Gangnam area soon caused even the roads in Gangnam that had maintained their original shape to collapse.
And then, within.
Kwaaaaaaaang!!!
From beneath the collapsed ground.
The culprit behind this massive earthquake has revealed itself.
‘… … What is it?’
and.
When I saw that sight, I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
‘That’s… … !’
A giant monster suddenly pops out from the ground.
The guy flew up, slamming into the mountain that was slaughtering the monsters.
Kuung… … .
Stretch out those huge arms.
I was looking down at the ground, holding on between the buildings.
The guy’s appearance is… … .
If I had to explain it, it was similar to the other monsters gathered here.
Body parts with different skin colors.
The thread marks that roughly tied those parts together.
A hideous and grotesque appearance.
“… … that toy.”
If I had to find a difference.
“You look quite… … strong.”
“… … .”
It’s incredibly huge compared to other monsters.
It looked strong again.
{then…….}
and.
It seems that it wasn’t our mistake.
{Let’s get started in earnest.}
Paaaaang!!!
The body of a giant monster.
It rushed towards its allies at a speed that seemed impossible for its massive body.
* * *
Kwaaaaaaaang!!!
While receiving treatment from that doctor.
There have been some changes in my body.
One of them was sense.
A sense that perhaps my original self should have had, but was unable to use due to the injuries accumulated on my body.
It’s a feeling that all awakened people have, like feeling presence or feeling magic… …that kind of feeling.
and.
According to that feeling.
“Just now, just how many were killed in one blow… …!”
There are countless people connected to me across the bridge.
The blow just now caused him to turn to dust and return.
{Die.}
That wasn’t all.
{Die, die, die, die, die, die, die!!!}
Kwajijijijik!!!
-Tongue, brothers!
-Run away!!!
It seems like the guy has no intention of ending it with one blow.
He started to slaughter the vampires, flying his whole body.
‘Vampires have strong vitality, but… … that’s only when they’re injured to the point where they don’t die.’
The heart or brain is ripped out.
If they are seriously injured to the point where they cannot even regenerate, even vampires will die.
The only thing that allowed us to avoid such situations was the secret technique called [Fogging].
-Oh, oh my god. Too fast… … !
Kwaaaaang!!!
That monster.
They were slaughtering their allies so quickly that they didn’t even have time to fog up.
Even if you are lucky enough to save your life by using fog, it takes time to reuse it after using fog once.
It seemed difficult to easily escape from that indiscriminate attack.
“… … Inaron!!!”
Ariella, seeing that sight, shouted with magnificent magic power.
There was a being that immediately came running in response to that call.
{Yes, Your Majesty. Your loyal dog is here.}
A strong man who was famous for his black claws in that magical realm.
It was a huge beast that looked like a wolf with black fur.
“You must have felt it just now, right?”
{Yes… … So many brothers and sisters have turned to dust.}
“It’s a monstrous monster. Perhaps… … .”
Ariella seemed to sense something ominous.
He said with a frown.
“The one who created these monsters… … must be the [doctor]’s body.”
When I heard that,
I looked at the monster that was still slaughtering my allies.
[Battle Power Meter]
Magic power flowing out of the guy’s body.
To check the color.
‘I’ve never seen a monster that strong.’
Even the monsters that had a particularly deep blue glow weren’t like that.
perhaps.
I thought I might see the blue color that I had only ever seen before, sealed.
‘uh?’
however.
When I saw the color, I couldn’t help but frown.
‘… …black?’
That makes sense.
Because it was a color I had never seen since I was able to see the color of magic.
[Battle Power Meter] is an ability that allows you to gauge the power of a monster by measuring its magical power.
Visualizing the quality and quantity of magical power as a spectrum of light.
The colors basically follow the seven colors of the rainbow.
But, it’s black.
‘no way.’
There is no black in the rainbow.
What I see with this ability is not an actual rainbow, but a magical light.
And, in the spectrum of light, there is black.
… … the outermost part.
Beyond even purple.
I felt goosebumps.
If the color I saw was really created for that reason.
That guy is one of the purple beings I saw.
That means they could be of a higher class than those who exude that overwhelming presence!
‘Is that the guy’s main body?’
surely.
He never showed me his true self.
We’ve always used monsters, who don’t mind dying, as a medium to communicate with us.
I knew that the guy’s main body would be separate.
I just couldn’t have imagined it would be like that.
“It’s a terrible monster. Losperos, Kelembor, Kurdan. Stop it with the three children.”
{Yes. Can we also mobilize the elites of each clan we led?}
“Permission granted. Use whatever means necessary to subdue that guy.”
As soon as her command was given.
The four great demon beasts that controlled the magic circles active in each area of the battlefield moved their bodies simultaneously.
Moved to deal with that giant fusion entity.
That wasn’t all.
“And you too!”
She saw the demons moving all at once.
He turned his head again, looked at a certain place, and shouted.
“You were acting so smart. You didn’t just collapse in one room, did you?”
Okay then.
A knight in black armor walks out from between the collapsed buildings.
“… … Your Highness, you’re good at joking.”
When Mountain rose from the dust, nearly 30% of his upper body was lost.
However, that guy’s body has already transcended that of a human.
Saaaaaaaa… … .
The cold air that lingered there.
I was recovering my lost body.
“I sent my children, but they are not ordinary beings. So.”
“There’s no time to complain. I’ll join in too.”
With those words.
Mountain throws his body towards the giant doctor.
And then, a little later.
{The Queen’s Enemy!}
{Die, you ugly, lowly species!}
Ariella’s followers and the Mountain.
The most powerful beings in my group began to engage the giant monster.
and.
Seeing that sight, I also tried to take a step forward while putting strength into the hand holding the kitchen knife.
“… …Master!”
There was a hand blocking my path.
“Please watch from here.”
“what?”
Let me frown.
Ariella shook her head and said.
“I do not doubt your power, Master. It is just that… … .”
“but?”
“Master, you are not a person with the ability to fight, are you?”
The arm that holds my hand.
Even though she had thin arms.
The strength contained in that arm was clearly stronger than mine.
“You know that I have many ways to fight.”
“I know, but.”
To my words:
She smiles bitterly.
“That power comes at a price.”
“… … .”
“Now that you’ve paid the price, there’s no need to push yourself too hard again. Besides… … even if you were to pay the price, wouldn’t it be difficult for you to become stronger than my children or that rude knight?”
As you said.
I’m a cook, not a fighter.
One could gain great power through one’s own means, but the price was certain.
How great was the price.
It’s only now, after paying all the costs, that I feel it more deeply.
“Please leave the [Waterdrops] in the shadows to guard you and step back for now.”
“but!”
“If it’s an enemy that my children and that rude knight can’t defeat, then it won’t make much of a difference if you join. If it’s an enemy that you can defeat with your help, then it’s an enemy that you can defeat without joining.”
She said that as if she was trying to reassure me.
He said with a slight smile.
“Don’t worry too much. My children, as well as the Black Knight, have abilities that are worthy of recognition, even if their personalities are not so great. They are probably stronger than the four children I am proud of. No matter how strong a monster they are, this level of power is more than enough… … .”
“……no.”
“……yes?”
To her words like that.
I said with a frown.
“That’s not it.”
My subordinates.
The power that mountain holds.
I know that better than anyone else.
Knowing that, I was so confident that I challenged that guy to a fight.
but.
‘That’s only true when you can give it your all.’
As if I were a cook and not a fighter.
That guy is also a doctor, not a combat specialist.
Just as I fear death more than anyone else.
That guy also fears death more than anyone else.
‘That guy looks a lot like me.’
And then, if so.
“There’s no way I didn’t prepare for this situation!”
“……yes?”
As if my thoughts were not an illusion.
{Cold thing. My brothers and I will stop its movements, so use your ominous aura on it.}
“Okay.”
A monster that can speak human language.
Shining Scales Kurdan and Mountain split the operation.
Just as I was about to attack that monster… … at that very moment.
Oh my gosh… … !
“… … !?”
The monster’s skin… … ‘opened’.
A variety of skins, roughly sewn together with thread.
The skin split open, revealing the scarlet flesh within.
Tsk tsk, tsk tsk… … .
The flesh is stretched out.
A tube-like thing with a circular hole protrudes.
And at the end of that tube.
Phew!
Something small popped out.
It was covered in blood and flesh, making it difficult to recognize its original shape.
A strangely yellowish shape.
[Food ingredient identification (reinforcement)]
and.
When I saw it, I got goosebumps.
[Head of the Sunworm]
[A bug with the power to store sunlight inside its body and then explode it.]
[This is the head of the sunworm.]
Paaaaaaaang!!!
That makes sense.
A brilliant light suddenly bursts out from it.
The moment you are struck by that light.
‘… … It’s hot!’
The pain felt like my skin was burning.
Because I felt it clearly!
“Huh… … I don’t know what kind of light it is, but let’s go with the plan… …?”
The mountain frowned at the sight of the light.
The moment we were about to rush into battle according to the previously discussed strategy.
{Keeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!}
“!?”
Four great demons who were hit by the light head-on.
He let out a painful howl.
* * *
{Your Majesty!}
When that light suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The first thing the followers did was throw themselves at him.
{Hide your body!}
Their own masters.
Towards Ariella.
Crackling… … .
The bodies of vampires that were touched by that light.
It’s burning hot.
{Your Majesty… … Your Majesty… …!}
{I must protect… … !}
The monsters, even as their bodies burned.
To block the light directed at Ariella, without running away even a single step.
He dragged her to where the shadows were and ran.
“Ahh… … that light.”
And Ariella.
Just before the attendants wrapped around his body.
A trace of light that briefly touched his body.
Ta-da-dak, bang… … .
“Hateful… … .”
Burning horribly.
Looking at the skin on his arm, burning black and peeling away.
“You’re like a natural enemy… … !”
Something I’ve never felt before.
He looked at the monster with a voice and expression filled with intense anger and said:
“… …Master!”
While being dragged by the hands of the followers.
Ariella looked at me and shouted in a worried voice.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me!”
fortunately.
I have half their blood flowing in my veins.
My skin wasn’t even that of a vampire, I was still half human.
I felt a little unwell, but the light wasn’t fatal to me.
the other side…….
Saaak… … .
The light that once pierced the battlefield strongly.
It didn’t seem like it could last long, it died down quickly.
{It hurts… … It hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts… … .}
{Ah, ahh… … Queen… … Is the Queen… … safe… … .}
{… … Cool.}
The light did not last long, though.
The damage the vampires suffered in that brief moment was… … fatal.
‘……sun.’
The Night Nobles are clearly an incredibly powerful race.
Under the light of that natural enemy, one loses strength.
The power I used when I conquered Ariella was divine power.
Ariella also admitted that she found that power awkward.
And yet, what Ariella refers to as her natural enemy is… … always the sun.
{Didn’t I tell you, Commander?}
and.
The one who was most directly hit by that light was none other than.
The four great demons that Ariella was most confident in.
{A race with great potential, but many flaws.}
“… … .”
{To this extent… … it’s not enough.}
A giant fusion body.
He stretched out his many hands.
Crunch… … .
{I am.}
A giant hemp tree that staggers about with difficulty.
Grabbing the body of ‘Light Scale’.
{If you don’t lie.}
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!!!
With countless arms and legs.
He started a one-sided beating.
