Apocalyptic Chef Awakening - Chapter 385

Episode 385: Spring

“Mr. Lee Seo.”

“yes… … ?”

“Take me to that wall.”

At my words.

Han Yi-seo looks at me with surprised eyes.

“Mr. Youngjun… … “Shouldn’t we have been caught seeing what we’re doing now?”

“That’s what we talked about before.”

“What is that?”

I couldn’t reveal it to others.

I could see it clearly in my eyes.

[Conquest War – 99%]

That Gangwon-do army.

There is not much time left until they achieve 100% occupation.

In the first place.

Unlike others, for me.

The condition for surviving in this Gyeonggi-do is ‘defeat the monsters with the survivors of Gyeonggi-do.’ It wasn’t like that.

My own victory conditions were set from the moment I decided to move to Gyeonggi-do.

that.

‘Save as many people as possible and hold out until the legions arrive.’

It has never changed.

Everything I’ve ever done.

It’s all for that goal.

An enemy that could destroy humanity before the Legion comes.

Recognizing its existence.

By entering that gate directly, we cut off a significant portion of their power.

Thanks to.

Even though the current association has lost most of its potential.

I was able to last quite some time against those monsters.

Nevertheless, the time that was a little short was made up for by Ariella and the monsters of the demonic world.

And all of this isn’t about taking down those guys directly.

It was just an action to kill time.

‘There were no variables.’

The army’s occupation may be later than expected.

Contrary to our expectations, there was a high possibility that the wall would not be opened even if the occupation war was completed.

actually.

That barrier did not open completely, but the heat only weakened.

This was a bit beyond our expectations that the barrier would disappear in an instant.

Fortunately, this time, the Legion was able to get over that wall on its own.

What if you end up not being able to get over that wall?

Or, if the Legion’s occupation itself was in a situation where it might be too late.

… … then.

I guess I had to use the last resort.

‘I don’t know.’

A fragment of him lodged somewhere in my body.

If you take it out and use it, no matter how powerful those giants are.

Because I would have been able to overcome it somehow.

but.

‘This power is one that must be conserved.’

When there really is no other way.

A card that must be taken out as a last resort.

This was the reason why I did not use Morzan.

When others really thought there was no other way.

Because I knew that the Legion’s occupation was not far away.

and.

That’s it.

“The reason I shouldn’t have shown that I was injured is because I didn’t want the morale of the people in the association to be broken.”

This was also the reason why I had to hide my injury.

It’s a situation where you just have to hold on a little longer.

However, if it is discovered that I am injured, my morale will be broken and I will collapse.

There is nothing more unfortunate than that.

Just a little bit so that the morale can last for a long time.

I had to hide my injuries.

But, it was different now.

“Look over there.”

“… … .”

Han Yi-seo followed my gaze and looked at the sky.

There was a huge fortress that was continuously firing fire in the sky.

“I don’t think my morale will be broken just because I got into this situation… … “Don’t you think it won’t really matter if it breaks?”

The fight has already passed to that legion.

I don’t think the morale of the people in the association will drop when they see them.

Even if you fall, it doesn’t matter because it’s the army you’re fighting against.

“I see, that’s right.”

Han Yi-seo looked up at the sky blankly.

Soon he turned his head and looked at my face.

“… … Mr. Youngjun.”

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

He then shook his head slightly and said something else.

“Then it would be better for you to go to the infirmary and get treatment. I’ll take you there… … .”

hmm.

My physical condition was definitely not good.

I looked down at the wounds on my body and thought.

‘The speed of recovery has clearly slowed down.’

It may be the aftereffects of [Serious Aftereffects] or the aftermath of [Disappearance of True Energy].

The Blood of the Night Noble was not working properly.

If you think about it, even Ariela, when her hand was cut by my sword covered in [Light of Anti-Demon], she recovered only after drinking my blood.

Even when I crossed that barrier, I wasn’t able to recover properly until I was supplied with the monsters’ blood.

The recovery effect of this blood is by no means omnipotent.

… … but.

“No, please take me to the Wall.”

“Why? Your wounds are serious. “You said there was nothing you could do until now, but shouldn’t you start treatment now?”

Why?

That’s right.

‘The legions are fighting there.’

Unless I went crazy and played around while I was moving to Gyeonggi-do because I didn’t have a senior.

The Legion will be able to overcome them.

Moreover, if the [water droplets] prepare to disappear.

Even temporarily, I can demonstrate a level of ability similar to my current self, even though I am not equipped with the legion’s equipment.

You must have eaten the food of those [water droplets] and passed on.

There is no need for me to cook for you now.

but.

But if you say you can just lie down, that’s not the case.

‘I have to watch it.’

As a corps commander.

I had a duty to watch them fight.

Even if we can’t fight together.

How they drive out those mighty enemies.

I had to see it with my own eyes and remember it.

of course.

I couldn’t say it like that.

“I just want to see it up close.”

“… … .”

“Why not?”

“I don’t know if I can say this.”

At my words.

Han Yi-seo let out a strange sigh.

“Youngjun, you are hiding something.”

I said those words.

“I have never told you the name of the Great Spirit who protects me. However, because he knew the name… … It seems like he knows in advance when the legion will cross the wall… … .”

“… … .”

“I guess what you told me when you first met me at the Northern Branch wasn’t everything. Yes?”

In those words.

I thought for a moment.

Han Yi-seo has the power to detect lies.

To trick her, you have to cleverly mix the truth with her.

I thought for a moment about how to express this, and then… … .

“yes.”

I just.

He nodded and said so.

“… … yes?”

“I was wondering if you were hiding something. there is.”

“… … .”

“Well, there’s nothing unusual, right? “Everyone in the world has at least one secret.”

If I wanted to hide it, I could have hidden it.

I could have been cleverly deceived somehow.

but.

‘Because there isn’t much left.’

Even if it is impossible to reveal everything.

I didn’t want to come this far and fool others again.

“… … For someone who is hiding something, you are very confident. “Wouldn’t that be enough for you to tell me what it is?”

“It’s not possible. Additionally, I would like to ask you a favor… … “I wish you wouldn’t even think about that.”

“That’s not an easy request.”

“Please do me a favor. “It’s hard to tell you right away, but I’ll be able to tell you soon.”

Han Yi-seo stared at my face.

He soon sighed and nodded.

“It’s true.”

“I don’t do anything to deceive others.”

“That’s a lie.”

“haha.”

“ha. “You’re so shameless.”

She said, supporting me.

“I understand for now. Instead, you’ll have to tell me later.”

I am supported by her.

I started walking towards the top of that wall.

“Uh, huh?”

“Isn’t that Shin Youngjun?”

It’s hard to say what I look like now that the environmental assimilation has come to an end.

I, who was injured, approached the wall.

“I can’t believe Shin Youngjun got hurt like that… … .”

“What on earth happened?”

The people gathered near the wall opened their eyes wide when they saw me.

But, that only lasts for a moment.

“Everyone look over there!”

“uh?”

“The giant who killed that white lion! “The giant falls!”

“… … Really!”

People who were surprised to see me.

Their eyes turn outside the wall.

“The giant that captured the southern branch at that time is almost ready to fall!”

“Damn it, I have to go see it quickly… … !”

People who immediately turn their heads and look outside the wall.

Seeing that.

Han Yi-seo looked at me and said.

“… … “Aren’t you sad?”

“hmm? “What do you mean?”

“The reason we have been able to survive until now is largely thanks to Youngjun. But, how can you overlook Youngjun’s injury like this? … .”

“Oh, I said something.”

In those words.

I smiled and answered.

“Well, isn’t that good?”

“yes?”

“I was hurt a lot, but not to the point of death. Surviving until now is also important. “I won’t deny that my stake was large.”

I said as I struggled to climb the stairs of the wall.

“but… … “What’s more important is surviving the future.”

Let’s get to the top of the wall.

The first thing I saw was.

“So, Mr. Lee Seo, you don’t have to worry about me.”

A huge wall that was half collapsed.

Falling down as if leaning against that wall… … .

[Ariant Guardian]

[This is an aircraft that once served as a protector of the empire.]

[The soul at the time of production was extinguished, but since it was used in a possessed state until just before, its freshness was maintained at a high level.]

[caution!]

[The possessed soul has disappeared.]

[If left at room temperature, freshness may decrease.]

“If you look at this scene… … “It’s worth being a little happy, right?”

“… … .”

It had the appearance of a huge giant.

And beyond the body of such a giant.

“Fire support please!”

“Squad 3, drive the enemies to the designated coordinates! “There must be a magic circle set up by hunters!”

The battlefield where a fierce battle is taking place is revealed.

Those giants and the monsters that share their cold energy.

Their resistance was also quite strong.

The battle was not entirely one-sided, with the legion being pushed back in some places.

but… … .

‘Little by little, little by little.’

A winter army clad in extreme cold.

They would have taken over most of Gyeonggi-do under the giants.

‘It’s falling apart.’

Coo… … .

increasingly.

Take a step back.

“Another one has fallen!”

“How strong is that warrior!”

The people on the wall don’t even care about me.

Some shed tears, others cheered.

I was watching the battle between the legions.

‘Yes, it should be like this.’

I liked that fact.

How we survived in the past is also important.

Because I too was trying to restore a lost civilization.

However, if you are human.

If anyone is still alive.

Rather than looking at your past life and worrying about it.

It’s better to see him happy that he can survive tomorrow.

It tastes more human that way.

I sat down in the corner of the wall.

I looked up at the sky.

[Group Skill – War Song Activates!]

-I protect this river and mountain… … .

Before I knew it, a military song was playing.

A fortress that continuously bombards the ground.

‘That…’ … Vimana as a [mobile fortress].’

actually.

No matter how strong the leaders in our unit are.

It wasn’t strong enough to outwit those giants.

Each of those giants emits blue magic power.

On the other hand, assuming that our unit’s leaders had no buffs, they could barely compete with the green monsters.

Only after all kinds of equipment and wide-area buffs have been applied will they become at a similar level to those demonic beasts.

To be honest.

If I had been in the corps when I came over to Gyeonggi-do.

There was a high probability that we would not have been able to overcome those giants.

Nevertheless, this is the reason why our allies can attack the enemies to this extent.

This is why I was confident that we could win as long as the legions came over.

Bub bub bung… … .

Indiscriminate bombardment from the sky.

That was the existence of that fortress.

‘The ordinary monsters on earth are literally being torn apart… … Damage that cannot be ignored is accumulating on those giants.’

Bombardment coming down from the sky towards the ground.

The bombardment itself was nothing more than a modification by engineers, except for the [batteries] built into the vimana itself.

Although it had considerable firepower, it probably wasn’t something that the giants would have been afraid of.

There were two problems.

Firstly, the bombardment comes from the sky.

And secondly.

‘To stop that bombardment… … We must attack that fortress in the sky.’

Even when it was on the ground, it was a fortress that was not even cracked except for the gate.

If you want to stop the fire from that fortress, you must somehow break through the fire and approach the sky.

They had to climb to a higher altitude than the castle gate, drop down to the inside of the fortress, and attack from the inside.

‘Unbelievable difficulty level.’

Artificial spirit, Vimanar said.

The moment that fortress reaches level 3.

That dependence on me would diminish, and that dependence on that fortress would take its place.

‘It’s enough power to do that.’

Although the technologies that the Awakened have been using so far were sufficiently impressive.

The technological capabilities of ancient mankind remained at a level that could somehow be similarly reproduced.

‘From there, it’s outside that area.’

It is difficult to replace even with the technology that mankind has accumulated over thousands of years.

A state that surpasses human common sense.

And, such tremendous power.

It is exercised under none other than the name of the corps.

It was an encouraging fact… … .

‘… … ‘I’m also worried.’

According to what I have lived so far.

In this world, there was no way to overcome anything easily.

It wasn’t just a negative imagination.

If only we had that much power in our hands.

This world can barely survive without that power.

No, maybe.

Even then, it may present an ordeal that you may not be able to endure.

It wasn’t just my anxious worry.

[As the Conquest War event ends, the beginner protection system is weakened.]

[All protective measures affecting the world will be lifted sequentially.]

[Interference from the outside world progresses slightly faster.]

[To all of you who survived the difficult invasion!]

[Even if greater hardships come in the future, I hope you can survive just a little longer.]

“… … .”

system too.

Because he was predicting greater suffering for us.

While I was looking up at the sky like that.

‘… … uh?’

The other side of the sky where vimanas are flying.

Among the high clouds, something unusual occurred.

-master… … Enough for us.

‘Yes, I had a hard time. ‘I’ll prepare you some special food for a while.’

Most of the vampires were exhausted trying to stop those monsters.

The remaining troops hide in my shadow.

“Everyone, look at the sky!”

“That… … !”

People’s eyes turn to the sky.

I also looked up at the sky with them and laughed.

“… … Yes, it’s not good to worry too much.”

After those winter monsters appear

The sky of Gyeonggi-do was filled with gray snow clouds.

Even the sun was obscured, and the warmth on the ground was slowly decreasing.

but.

now.

Covering the sky.

The giants who brought winter to this land.

They were kneeling one by one.

“The sun… … .”

Huge snow clouds are clearing away.

Light comes in between them.

{The legion’s operational activities have ended.}

{Citizens, leave the safe place and go outside-}

The light of the sun that the people of Gyeonggi-do had not seen for a while.

The light illuminates the earth.

The heat of the sun melts the accumulated snow.

“ah… … .”

and.

It was only then that people noticed.

A winter that seemed like it would last forever.

It’s been a long time since the harsh season, when many people thought they would shut their eyes in the cold, arrived.

The people in Gyeonggi-do didn’t know.

The world now.

“Spring… … “You’re here.”

The season when snow disappears and plants bloom.

Winter is over and spring has arrived.

[Quest is updated.]

[With all factors threatening the player’s survival removed, survival is judged to have been successful until inter-regional protection ends.]

[Return to the region of origin or survive until inter-regional protection ends. (1/1)]

[Compensation: Differential payment depending on the influence exerted in the movement area.]

[Calculating quest achievement for rewards… … .]

[Calculating… … .]

[Achievement cannot be calculated due to excessive overachievement.]

[The maximum amount of compensation that can be paid is given.]

Has the world come to destruction?

It was one day a year later.
