A battle between the hero party excluding Sihyeon and Winter and the Four Heavenly Kings Echidna.

The battle ended with a one-sided victory for the warriors.

-Cow.

“Kyaah!!”

‘My, I am so vain…’ .’

From the beginning, Echidna was the 4th most powerful among the Four Heavenly Kings, that is, the weakest.

To her, who became one of the Four Heavenly Kings with only the ability to give birth to an infinite number of monsters, the warriors who were unable to use quantity warfare were truly opposites.

The result was a very meaningless defeat.

My teeth were grinding together.

-Pateuk.

‘Katoblepas… That boy, he should have dealt with it quickly and joined in!! If it weren’t for that bitch, it wouldn’t have been so vain… !!’

Then, Echidna cursed Catoblepas in her mind.

3rd place is Campe, who went to face the silver-haired woman who looks strong at first glance. Even if it’s possible.

No matter how you think about it, it was sheer negligence for her to be this late when she was only supposed to deal with that little boy.

———However, it didn’t take long for it to turn out that it was a ridiculous misunderstanding.

-Jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump.

“… Oh. Even though she was the weakest bitch, you guys caught her.”

‘That voice… Could it be that Campe was hit? Even using a special move!!?

A voice echoed in the forest where the noise of battle had died down.

A woman who had just stepped forward to deal with Campe alone. It was Winter’s voice.

Echidna, who had only her neck left, looked away with trembling eyes…

Soon, her eyes opened brightly.

“That’s great. … It’s not as bad as the kid who caught this by himself.”

-Hwiik.

Because, that silver-haired woman. Winter held it in her hand and threw it.

That was because it was the head of the person Echidna had been swearing at just a moment ago, asking ‘Why aren’t you joining us?’

Although they don’t get along very well, they are second in line and their skills are acknowledged. Catoblepas.

Her neck rolled on the ground and came to rest next to Echidna.

-Degurrr… Tuk.

“Ka, Katoblepas——!!!!!”

‘Why on earth!?’

Echidna screams at the miserable words of her comrade, with whom she had formed an alliance, even if only temporarily.

It was a very extreme reaction for such a vicious woman, but…

This was natural.

“Dae, what on earth happened!! Katoblepas!!!”

“Huh, huh. Hmm… .”

‘oh my god. The ‘one looking down’ is so scared… .’

The second in line among the Four Heavenly Kings was drooling with a frightened expression, like a lamb in front of a lion.

Even Echidna was frightened by the sight of her heart breaking as she faced an absolute being that she could not resist.

In the midst of it all, a soft voice rang out.

“Last hit… No, I brought it for you all to catch.”

“Angel, you did it!!!”

“Hehe… .”

‘Can I say I accomplished this…? ?’

That voice is that of a hero who has just successfully soloed Katoblepass.

It was a vision.

* * * * * *

Meanwhile. A little while before joining the group.

I flew leisurely through the air as time stopped thanks to the correction of my cooking skills.

Gently flapping wings filled with divinity.

-Suddenly, quietly.

‘Take off the head first.’

However, unlike the wings, what I was doing was by no means sacred.

He’s spinning around and cutting off the head of Catoblepas, the second-ranked member of the Four Heavenly Kings. It would be a bit difficult to describe this as sacred.

It was so big that it took a lot of work to cut off its head.

Because the Chinese street wasn’t long enough, I had to go around it almost 10 times to cut it with a 30cm sashimi knife.

However, it was only a matter of time before the guy’s head fell off.

– Creep, crease, crease. Tuk.

‘… I thought it would be gross, but it’s better than I thought. Is this also a cooking skill correction?’

When the last remaining cervical vertebra is cut off, the head begins to slide at a very slight speed.

As I grabbed the sashimi knife without a single drop of blood on it, the time that had stopped due to cooking skill correction passed again.

-Kwaang!!! Gurgling.

“… … !!!!?”

‘The blood… It comes out less than I expected. Is it because they are demons?’

Head first slipped on the floor. Then the torso collapsed, blood pouring out from the cut edges.

The second place of the powerful Demon Lord’s Four Heavenly Kings instantly became ‘Ka/Toblepas’.

The first step to the slaughter process was decapitation.

-Stare.

“… … !!! … … , … … … !!!!”

-Pffkkk.

‘… I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. ‘I’m sorry my cooking skills are worse than I thought.’

Catoblepas is a condition where the vocal cords below the neck are completely blown off, making it impossible to say anything.

​

While the head demon was gaping, I grabbed the sword again.

Speed ​​up time briefly with ‘Chronos’ Blessing’. The purpose was to prepare the torso after the bloodletting had been completely completed.

-Pyeokkeuk, peokkeuk… ugh… … .

“… … .”

-quiet.

Then time slowed down again.

​

In the meantime, I was flying around and swinging my sword.

‘It’s a bit pitiful to see meat slaughtered in front of your eyes, but… They say it’s six-star material. Fresh meat just slaughtered, I can’t resist this.’

-Shashashak.

Peel off the skin like you would a potato, and cut off things like hooves that you can’t eat. After gutting the pear, the basic treatment is completed by scraping out all the contents with a shovel.

… It was a bit of a less-than-delicate cleaning method, but it didn’t really matter.

Because it was so big, it was difficult to do it with care, and in the first place, I was only going to cut the lean meat that my companions would enjoy.

It was okay to do this roughly.

My only concern is that I have absolutely no anatomical knowledge of how to cut wildebeest meat into different parts.

but,

-Tiring!

[Katoblepas’s Sirloin (Legendary): A six-star cooking ingredient. You can enjoy shrimp meat and sirloin at the same time.]

[Katoblepas’ Upjinsal (Legendary): Six-star cooking ingredient. A premium cut with rich marbling and meat quality.]

[Katoblepas’ Flower Ribs (Legendary): A seven-star cooking ingredient. Among the parts of Katoblepas, it is by far the highest quality part.]

‘Oh oh. ‘I can see where and how to cut.’

Thanks to the slight glow of each part each time the ingredients were appraised, the important butchering task was not that difficult.

Since I am not a professional butcher, there may be some yield loss…

​

They say the leftover scraps are a feast for crows. hmm.

Anyway, after going around in circles for about 40 minutes, I felt like I was dismantling it.

The once majestic body of Catoblepas was now reduced to only by-products such as bones, skin, and some remaining meat.

I was finally satisfied and put the knife away.

-Seung. … Wow!!!

‘Whoa, that was hard.’

Is it because I cut it here and there while cleaning it?

As time passed again, the slightly lifted body of Catoblepas rose slightly and fell to the ground.

and,

“Kruk, murmur… … !!! Wow!!!”

-Chuuk.

‘… Oh, I fainted.’

The head I had cut off earlier twitched, and I closed my eyes.

… Well, with one blink, his head falls off, and with another blink, his entire body disintegrates. It must have been very scary.

Even if he was a monster, I felt sorry for this, so I quickly moved to give him the gift of rest.

‘Take that to Elizabeth… .’

-Paaah!!

“… ?”

However, before I head towards it.

Silver hair waved in front of me.

-Help.

“Little boy!!!”

“… Huh, Winter?”

The last hero, Winter, runs up to me in an instant and hugs me urgently.

And then she took a step back.

“You can’t fight anymore, so… net… … ?”

-Stop.

“Huh?”

… No, I tried to back away.

Until my eyes, which were fixed on me as if I was more important than anything else, turned to the wildebeest dismemberment site.

“… What is this.”

Only then did Winter see the remains of Catoblepas’ torso and his unconscious head with his eyes closed.

​

Her eyes turned to me again as she stood tall.

“Hehe, hehe… I heard it’s so good as a cooking ingredient, so let’s slaughter it.”

“… … This? No, what about the other kids? You did this alone!?”

“Well, hehe… That’s how it happened.”

“No, kid, you’re weak!! By the way, you are the one who just showed signs of making even this sister lose her temper!!?”

-Taltaltaltaltal.

“Ugh, uh, shake it… Ugh… … .”

Then, Winter lifted my shoulders and shook me violently.

They shake it so violently that the halo above their heads makes a tinkling sound.

… No, why is there a rattling sound over there? Is it a toy?

-Tingle-tangle.

‘It even hurts my pride a little because the sound is loud… .’

-Tukwaaang!!!!!

​

‘… !!! Rinne’s magic sound!!’

However, my mind, briefly distracted by the rattle, was brought back to its original state by the sound of an explosion coming from afar.

Winter also stopped her hand with a serious expression.

“This sound… .”

“Winter! The other party members are still fighting! Let’s go join in!”

-Blubbering. Flap flutter.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I flapped my wings and pointed in the direction from which the sound was heard.

The group left Katoblepas in my care and went to fight Echidna.

Because I was extremely worried about my very precious colleagues.

‘Even though it is the weakest with nothing special except for the pattern of summoning miscellaneous mobs… Just in case.’

“Winter, will you help me?!”

“I feel uneasy about my magical power… ha. I just trust you. Let’s go.”

“Yes!! Oh, please take care of that head too!!”

‘If you think it won’t work, you should throw it away to level up.’

“… … ?”

* * * * * *

Afterwards, Winter and I hurried to the place where the fierce battle took place.

… By the time we arrived, everything was over.

“We did it… Angel, Winter!!!”

“… Oh. Even though she was the weakest bitch, you guys caught her.”

Echidna with only his head left, and his colleagues smiling brightly when they saw us rushing over.

After that, we hit the nail on the head.

“Katoblepas, what on earth is going on——.”

“Elizabeth can catch her.”

‘Maybe because I’m a tank with weak damage, I’m a little behind in level. ‘Let me hit the last hit alone.’

“Me? Okay.”

-Pagak.

The 4th place, Echidna, who was successfully subdued by the group, has Elizabeth’s shield on its head.

“Heh, heh haha. I just handle ingredients… … .”

“Please have Lucia and Rinne handle this at the same time.”

“Understood, Savior.”

“Yes… !!”

– Crispy.

Lucia’s bow and Rinne’s magic hit Catoblepas’s head, which I had carefully groomed, at the same time.

First of all, Arthur is not a hero, and I am a supporter who is useless even if I level up. Since Winter is at max level, we distributed it like this.

and,

-Tiriririrring!!!

A massive level-up effect arose between the three warriors.

Until all three reach level 80. endlessly.

“Yo, warrior… I feel so much stronger.”

“This is the Four Heavenly Kings… Ho.”

“Magic power overflows… .”

Among the sacred light, the three shivered at their increased abilities.

and… …

-After a while!!

“… Huh!!!!? Um, what is that!!!!”

-Stop, stop stop stop!!!!!

In the midst of it all, Mummumi came running like the wind.

Mummummi turned into ashes and stood in front of the flying supplies.

It was as if I had been waiting for this day.

Afterwards, the unprecedented reaction following the Asterios subjugation battle erupted again.

-Stop, stop! Stop stop stop!!!

-Bingrrrr.

In front of the Four Heavenly Kings, only ashes remain. Mummummi danced a hip-hop dance of joy.

In this world where fancy dances are limited to social dances, the flashy b-boying is so foreign.

​

The strange sight of a square-shaped puppy putting its head on the ground and doing a head spin continued for a while.

​

​

‘But maybe it’s because I’ve been watching it for a while now, so it’s just a head spin… .’

​

-mum… mum!!

– Whirling.

‘Even the windmill!!?’

​

“… … Kid. What is that square thing?”

“Uh… hmm. It’s a little difficult to explain.”

‘He is the lord who bestowed divinity on us… If I say that, no one will believe me. Even though I can’t even speak in the first place.’

The simultaneous subjugation of the Three Heavenly Kings with Winter started a bit abruptly.

​

It was a fitting ending.

* * * * * *

And, after some time has passed.

I am…

“That little guy, let me sleep with you one night and I’ll think about it. It’s about eradicating the devil.”

‘Were you also in the middle of nowhere!!!!!?’

The last hero I trusted, Winter, also despaired of being out of the workforce.
