"End the Chef. "

End ... this silly system needs someone to do the dirty work again ... but could consider a reward ... Not that I need it.

A cooking show ? Eat a chef seems ... the proper end of a good meal ... Play the audio, dumb system ...

" The Chef came from a food themed dungeon and is responsible for supplying several evil factions with rations. He is corpulent bipedal. Wears a bloodied apron, and a chef's hat. Carries two massive blades, far too heavy to be used effectively by even the strongest of heroes ... "

Skip ... Heavy blades can't be used ... Never eaten a blade before ... the chef has two ... Food themed dungeon ? This means that there are more dungeons to eat ... I mean to explore ... Maybe if I play along with the system, I get a way to reach them ... Hitting the supply chain will hurt the evil side ... need to think about that also ... First the shadow king, now the chef ... The system dirty work is clearly one sided ... But I'm not ...

That reminds me, on all the loot gathered there are some small coloured vials. And they look ... useful.

I'm not drinking them for gluttony ... I need the vials ... My minion is going to fill the small vials with oil, so that I can use them like the Heroine ... to set my enemies on fire .... But to that the vials need to be empty ... so ...

" Warning, anti-poison detected. Warning, anti-petrifying detected. Multiple potions consumed. "

Dumb system, always spitting useless words ... they taste better if we combine them ... almost done ... Last one ...

" Alert ... light element purified all toxins. Minor poison resistance level up to Minor Resistance. "

The only word I understand from this dumb system is level up ... the rest sounds like glass breaking ... Glass cube tasty also ... Just one vial ... No. Here minion bag, fill the vials with oil, and get all ready ... Fire ? No, I don't have a way to lighten them up ... open your mouth ... let me see what we can use ... here it is ... all adventurer use one ... And I have several in fact ... fire kits ... not the best thing, but it will do ... Rip a little of the clothes ... and use them as a fuse ... this is enough ... Fireball unlocked ... Mini fireball ... enough to distract the Chef ... Cook a Chef .... sounds tasty. Dumb system, place that map again ... Is time to eat, I mean end another quest. Turn here ... then here ... I'm moving faster ...

" Alert ... darkness element allows shadow walking. "

That sounded like the skill the Dark King had .... still has ... the monsters spawn back ... but not so powerful ... The system is not ending the evil side, but a drop on their forces ... If this continues the Light wins without effort ... But that is for later, now is time to eat ... This shadow thing is fast ... from a shadow to another shadow ... A corridor with torches ... Take one ... here bag, open your mouth ... Take this one also ... and this one ... better, now I have more shadows to move ... And here I am ... The Chef is not alone ... adventurers are getting close ... Is time to watch ...

The Chef is preparing a beef roast ... that looks so tasty that for a moment I think about moving out from the shadows and ... Stop ... the Chef is not eating ... but dropping the food on the ground ... more for me, unless the food ... vanishes into the ground. I saw this happening before ... it goes to the loot of the Chef ... so after ending him, the steak is waiting for me ... a useful skill, like my bag minion ... The Chef looks stronger then the little adventurers ...

It's going in battle mode ... no more cooking ... If creatures cooked more, maybe they would fight less ... The Chef is grabbing ... two cleavers ? A chef's weapon ... makes sense. Here comes the adventurers ... two ...

First one, a female with daggers, wears light armour ... doesn't look very strong. One cut is enough ... unless she is fast ... I already saw that trick ... The don't use heavy armour to move faster ... I should think about getting an armour also ... one day ... maybe after looting them ... The second one is a male ... iron armour ... iron sword, and shield ... Iron is tasty ... But the taste is getting a little less intense ...

The knight looks stronger than the assassin ... but still can be cut in one blow by those massive cleavers. Ah ... I see it now ... they want to level up. Small adventurers, against big boss ... the reward must be good ...

"I'll make a souffle out of your guts!"

He talks ... but that is not a true sentence ... more the repetition of a bad recorded voice .... And there he goes. The Chef marches forward the assassin ... smart, she is the fastest. Take her out, and the Knight is easy prey.

"I'll use the scroll!"

The knight shouts to the assassin something ... she was a bait ... to lure the Chef. And now the Knight is smelling while pulls out a rolled up piece of paper with a red binding, and is unrolling it ... a magic scroll ...

" Burn. "

The Knight shouts again something ... a fireball shoots out, and the scroll is gone. One time items ... I'm not a fan of them ... but they look more interesting than tossing oil lamp inside small bottles. The big boss can't dodge the ball of flames ... Now looks ready to be served ... And the assassin is using the surprise attack to hit the boss also.

Cooked and sliced ... This party sounds interesting ... And the slow boss when swings the cleavers down, misses the assassin. And now they are repeating the strategy ... This is good for two reasons.

I already know what they are going to do ... and they have several scrolls ... Something is happening ... The Chef is eating ? That steak was mine ... And while you stand still eating, the assassin hits you again ... Rules ... You can't attack people eating ... unless you eat them ... These adventurers have no respect for the tradition.

And while the partners does all, the lazy knight just prepares the scrolls. No work, and a lot of xp ... He wants to level up the easy way ... Can't allow that ... The boss is slow, or I am getting faster on shadow mode ...

And the assassin is running again ... Shadow step ... Hello there ... one tentacle to drain her, and another to make her stop ... The drain effect kicks in ... and she stops moving.

" Lag."

She shouts without moving the lips, adventurers sometimes do those things ... maybe is some kind of telepathy ... But the word is enough to make the Knight surprised for one second ... enough time for the slow Chef. The cleavers make a perfect arc ... this should be a competition ... The Chef is truly a master of cutting.

Upper part to one side, lower part to the other side ... and here it is ... that little glow ... The Chef level up. The system will love to know that ... Need to end this fast ... after looting ...

The Knight has no idea ... and walks straight towards the Chef. And the boss is smiling ... and tossing one of his blades ... that looks different ... that is not a cleaver anymore ... And the Knight is jumping back ... not to the side. Dumb adventurer looking for easy level up ... has no idea how to fight ...

The blade slams into the shield first, and continues ... a vertical slice ... Well done, Chef ... First the horizontal, than the vertical ... I almost regret ending you ... Hey ... Come back ... Where are you going ?

Walked away ... being in shadow mode ... or being a monster ... he can't see me, so he walked away ... But he will not get far ... The map is updating his position ... but first ... the loot. Bag, eat all.

The knight had iron armour, a short sword and a wood shield, that is now sliced in half ... can be used to light a fire ... of make some arrows ... The sword is tasty ... and so the armour ... the flavour is even less intense than last time.

" Alert ... iron consumption ... Light element purifying toxins ... Resistance to cutting increased. "

More useless messages, at least is not another mission ... I wonder if the dumb system understands that I can only hear one or tow of the words ... the rest sounds like ... soup bubbling ... at least for me. Minion bag agrees ... This system was designed for the Heroine ... Need to learn the language one day ... But I can hear the stories on the quests , this makes no sense ... And I have another body to loot.

The assassin is ... nothing too special, the daggers have no flavour now ... after that last message ... Keep them bag, I can use them against someone to make them stop running ... Gold ... this is good ... I like potions ... they have funny flavours that can be mixed ... but there are no potions on this area ... But with gold, and proper disguise I might purchase them from an adventurer ... unless he is alone ... on that case, there is no need to pay.

Is time for the main meal ... shadow mode ... follow here and ... light ... Need to go back to my solid form ... Blue sky, to far to eat it ... need some winds ... And the floor is green ... tastes like one of the potions ...

" Rare healing herbs consumed. Light Element amplification starting ... Resistance level up to immunity. "

More words ... and the green stops tasting different ...No shadows here ... but that is smoke in front ... someone is cooking ... A victory meal party ... Blue above, Green below ... and the air is also different ... carried with ... flavours.

I'm not lightweight ... quite the opposite ... but for some reason my steps make no sound ... Strange ... but a lot of things are happening since I absorbed the Heroine so this is one more to more for the list ... More green ... humanoid.

Running from one place to the other ... Small, Green ... Humanoids ... Goblins ... not much flavour from them ... Rarely drop any loot ... Not much meat on the bones ... no gear ... But since he is near ... one tentacle for the beast, another for the rider ... that is also a beast ... drain them ... nothing knew ... Bag, you can have them ...

Found the Chef ... he is talking with the Goblins ... probably cooking for them ... I can wait a little a see what is the dish ... Too far to listen, no shadows ... I can stay here ... food has nothing useful to listen ... Dumb Chef, raising his blade, and making sounds ... probably some speech ... for Goblins ... that think that fire is magic ... Is that a shaman ?

Could be ... a goblin wearing a mask made of bark of a tree ... and he is taller than the rest ... The Chef meets the Chief, and ... easy win ... The Chef grabs the neck of the Chief, and one cut ... ready to serve. Two perfect halves. Ah, the Chef is eating the Shaman ... Never absorbed one ... need to consider that next time. The Goblins are scared, my time arrived. Let's go bag, yes ... I know you are on my back, and move slowly without me.

Listen up bag, I'm going to toss you against the Goblins. Use Drain with the tentacles, and swallow them whole. You need to keep them busy, while I go for the Chef ... Got it ? Good ...

Go closer ... closer ... closer ... Toss the bag, and face the Chef. HE looks different ...

The new blade is too much power for him ... Let me begin tossing the daggers into your face ... Stepping back, Chef ? I'm just starting. Here have some small vials of oil ... Yes, I know they have a strange taste ... Let me show that adventurer how is done ... Aim at you ... unroll the scroll ... and burn ...

No, is not the same dirty trick ... I've done it alone ... I'm not like them ... Let me use the Knight's sword to end your suffering, Chef ... One cut on this arm, another on the other arm, while my tentacles drain your feet, and you face burns. Too much fluids wasted ... since you no longer have a defence, let me carve my sword on your chest ... There you go.

Bag stop playing with the food ... using the tentacles as a whip ... only works against goblins ... Just one Shaman, no Archers ... they were probably the dishwashers of the Chef ... Weapons made of sticks and stones ... No potions here, no loot ... Almost out of vials ... Where is that system message ?

" Quest completed. "

There it is ... now a slice from the boss ... an arm counts as a slice .... it was cut using a blade ... and the core ... "

" Alert ... core of Chef consumed ... Strength increased. "

More words ... The first one is some kind of greeting ... always appears ... ALERT ... sound wrong ... AL-ERT ... I'll practice that after ... felling a little stronger ... Ah, here comes the next prey ... I mean quest.
