Chapter 1536
Kieran waited patiently after he had rewatched the chef's whole life .
He didn't think the 'inheritance' would be this simple .
Things unfolded as expected; after the 'movie' about the chef's life had ended, an unusual knowledge transfer process started .
It was similar to the knowledge transfer and synchronization process in his room, when he learned or leveled a skill,
and yet it wasn't exactly the same .
Back in his own room, with the system's help, the whole process was delicate and mild, but in this dungeon world, without direct help from the system, the process was harsh and painful, as if someone was punching his head relentlessly . The heavy blows to the head were enough to torture a common man, but because Kieran's Constitution had reached rank III and Spirit rank V-, it wasn't anything significant . All he felt was a little bit of discomfort, which he adjusted to it within a breath .
The heavy, painful blows were increasing by the second but it was still the same . The pain that the process was causing was still within an acceptable range .
The knowledge transfer started from things seen and heard in that particular time and eventually proceeded to basic cooking skills, ways to enhance cooking skills, and the chef's own realization and knowledge . Everything he watched was entering his mind, bit by bit, and his body was adapting to it instinctively .
Among the knowledge transferred, there were some records related to ancient texts, which didn't surprise Kieran at all .
As a matter of fact, from the moment he understood that legendary age, Kieran had quite some thoughts about it and accepted this 'inheritance' just because he could use the ancient knowledge in there to decipher the ancient text in Index of Eat .
Everything was progressing as planned, but just as the ancient text related knowledge completed its transfer…
Kak!
A crack suddenly appeared on the red crystal .
A scorching aura burst out from the crack and drowned the room within a second . As if the aura had met its mortal enemy, it assaulted Kieran the moment it appeared .
Fortunately for Kieran, his powerful Constitution and [Secondary Elemental Damage Resist] granted him protection . As though a windy breeze caressed his face, the aura quickly dispersed after the attempt but that wasn't the end of the unusual change .
A burning man with an arrogant smile appeared in the dark wilderness .
The wilderness was boundless and it was filled with loneliness and despair .
"I am finally free from my cage! This is really suitable for me, the Fire Devil! I will be reborn here and descend to the mortal realm again!"
The burning man shouted in excitement and the flame on his body grew fiercer . The flame grew to 2 to 3 meters tall but another unusual light shrouded the flame the very next moment .
It was another hotter, brighter flame above the burning man!
A 6 meter tall gigantic figure in magma appeared behind the burning man and shrouded his existence .
The shouts of excitement stopped abruptly . The burning man turned around slowly with his wide-opened mouth, his eyes looking at the devil that did not belong to the mortal realm blankly .
"WHO ARE YOU?! How could a devil reside inside a human's heart?! Illusions! This must be an illusion!"
The inconceivable shouts of the burning man were answered with a fiery punch and without any resistance, the burning man was crushed into scattered flames .
The tall devil opened its mouth and sucked, half of the scattered flames absorbed and merging with the magma body, as if they were one .
The remaining scattered flames gathered into a clump and flew away like a falling meteor .
The devil didn't chase, it had no need to chase . The guy was already running .
It opened its ferocious mouth and chuckled before it vanishing .
…
The waves were beating endlessly .
The burning man, who flew over there like a falling meteor, was standing on the cliff in silence .
'Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?'
Losing half of his power in an instant sent the burning man into an unknown daze, but he quickly cleared up his mind .
"I am the Fire Devil! I've just gotten out from the cage that sealed me! I've found a new host! Although troubled, I will once again descend to the mortal realm!"
The last word came out as a sonorous roar and it echoed throughout the cliff . As though the waves were responding to the shout, a huge wave crashed on the cliff, causing a great splash to spread everywhere .
The burning man saw the rumbling waves, looking down at the cliff he was standing, and the weird laughter sounded again .
"A cliff on the sea? What a proud heart you have . The devil must be protection from some kind of spell and this cliff on the sea is only your true heart! Well then, I'll take it, thank you very much!"
The flames rose again, spreading throughout the cliff and engulfing it completely . The man wanted to burn the cliff and replace it .
The flames that engulfed the cliff did not burn this seemingly normal cliff at all, which released a special energy to counterattack the burning man .
The most terrifying thing was the counterattack wasn't made of flames anymore; it was a sharp-like-blade energy .
The special energy didn't cut the burning man's body, it sliced his core .
'I can't do this anymore, I'll die if I continue!'
The fear of perishing made the burning man fly up, wanting to leave the cliff and get away from the attacks from the special energy . However, despite flying up to the sky, the blade-like energy chased him like as if it was his shadow, no matter how high or far .
As though there wasn't any distance between the energy and the burning man, the special energy landed on the burning man after jumping through space!
The burning man got even more horrified . He straightened his body and vanished out of sight very quickly .
Huuu!
Following the burning man's absence, the flames on the cliff were extinguished . The knight in armor looked in the direction of where the burning man flew away and he sighted in pity .
"Good luck," the knight said .
Though the burning man couldn't hear the blessing, neither would he receive it .
When the burning man was exhausted by flying, he landed and saw three doors .
All three doors looked different .
The middle one was black and had gold branded all over the edge, the handle made out of black crystal and carved into the shape of a dragon . It looked extremely elegant and luxurious .
The left one was a lot more common, also in black but made out of common wood and snores came from behind the door .
The right one was even worse, black with dents all over it, as if something had chewed on the door .
"The cliff back there are some kind of protection from spells? This place too?!"
The badly injured burning man was sizing up the three doors and when his surroundings turned pitch black, he laughed coldly .
"Do you think I will retreat? The more protection you have, the more valuable this body is! I am getting it no matter what!"
The burning man said that as if he was making a vow, sizing up the three doors again .
