After returning from my conversation with Jeong Soo-ah, I opened the refrigerator to prepare dinner when this sudden ssage appeared before .
“What on earth is this?”
A completely unexpected notification.
In a flurry, I opened the status panel.
[Divine Power: 1]
A brand new stat has erged.
Divine Power.
‘Must be due to eating the Pope’s flesh.’
When I prepared the dish using the Pope’s flesh, there was ntion of so effect being applied.
Now it seed so elusive condition had indeed been fulfilled.
Based on the explanations, it seed similar to a divine stat…
I decided to ask the guild’s priest, a fellow Awakened.
“Divine Power…? Ah, you an Divine Strength. Yes, of course, I have that. My Divine Strength exceeds 30…”
“Not that, just Divine Power.”
“Well, that’s not sothing I’ve ever heard of.”
It was surprising that even the priest didn’t recognize this stat.
While I might have obtained traits or skills, receiving an entirely new stat was a first and thoroughly bewildering.
I hoped it was not sothing bad.
‘Just like my regenerative ability. This mysterious stat as well.’
Recently, I felt a growing acceleration in my developnt.
It brought back mories of the early days of awakening.
“Who’s stronger, an Awakened or a soldier with a gun?”
The conclusion back then was, unsurprisingly, the soldier with the firearm.
Even if one was an Awakened, getting shot was fatal all the sa.
However, as ti passed, conversations along those lines added a new caveat.
“At least for now.”
Soday, it felt plausible that an Awakened could defeat a gun-wielding soldier in hand-to-hand combat.
With the regenerative abilities that I possess, perhaps this hypothesis could hold water.
Lately, I often pondered whether I have crossed over from the realm of ordinary humans.
“Well, perhaps it doesn’t really matter.”
Thus far, I have survived against the odds.
Various abilities have extended my life.
That in itself was what mattered.
‘This stat will surely co in handy soday.’
The days that followed were marked by a similar routine.
Today, I reached into the shadows to retrieve ingredients for the unit’s als.
Suddenly—
“Your Lordship’s benefactor!”
A vampire, busy moving things inside, spoke out.
It was unusual for those typically obedient to suddenly address him directly.
Curious, I decided to listen.
“Carrots, cabbages, leeks, garlic—everything is nearly gone.”
“Ah.”
“Not to ntion, the oil is almost depleted as well, though we still have a decent amount of potatoes.”
The words seed too realistic, coming from a vampire.
The refrigerator’s vegetable bin was emptying fast.
Back when we left the ammunition battalion, we had stocked up so much that it seed there would be excess abundance.
And if I use the [Five Loaves and Two Fish], it could sustain the unit for years.
‘[Five Loaves and Two Fish]’ is a skill that utilizes magic…
When preparing als, I have deliberately avoided using this skill as it takes a huge troll on magic power.
“Vegetables are already running low?”
While there was an abundance of at brought by the city’s Awakened mbers, the vegetable quality…
‘Compared to the at… the quantity of the vegetables is just lacking.’
The vegetables were coming from an Awakened farr near the village by the ammunition battalion.
He sent only the freshest produce from his yield.
In fact, they were incredibly fresh compared to the subpar vegetables that I used to receive back in the days when I was an ordinary cook.
The issue was…
[Ground at of Hauwan Honmar]
[This is the front leg at of Hauwan Honmar, which exerts great power through its forelimbs.]
Monster ats inherently contained magical energy, so cooking them resulted in statents suggesting that “the magical energy contained in the dishes seeps into your body.”
They exhibited effects incomparable to standard beef or pork.
But vegetables…
“While they are fresh, compared to the at, it’s just not the sa.”
As my cooking skills improved, I began to notice the limitations of ordinary vegetables more and more.
“Still, I can’t just serve no greens.”
I resolved to make a trip to Inje-gun soon to replenish the supply of vegetables.
While considering all this, I suddenly received a ssage.
[Seamstress: Excuse , Commander?]
Was there sothing important?
A ssage ca in from his dear confidante.
The ammunition battalion in Inje-gun had stabilized to a certain extent.
One of her tasks was managing the area and recruiting people into the unit: it was none other than the talented Seamstress, Lee Sang-ah.
She had been magnificently managing the base since they established it.
Thanks to the stable ho base, the expeditionary force could devote ample ti to dungeon exploration.
Furthermore, it had played a critical role in planning their settlent in Chuncheon… However…
[Seamstress: … I think we’re in need of a bit of assistance.]
