Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 The Century of Thick Soup

The huge beast claw was raised high, and the cute girl in front of it was hit hard and flew away, falling far into the forest outside the valley.

"Lisanna!!!"

Elfman watched this scene, his eyes filled with pain.

He rushed towards the forest like mad. The thorns along the way cut his body into pieces, but he seemed not to feel them. He just tried hard to find the petite figure.

No…no…still…no!

After searching the entire forest, even the outer reaches of the forest, Elfman still couldn't find his sister.

A terrible thought came to my mind.

His lovely sister died tragically without even a body left.

The sky was gloomy and raindrops began to fall quickly, soaking Elfman, who knelt on the ground in despair.

He just felt like his heart was being torn apart.

"It's all my fault…"

"It's my incompetence that caused Lisanna to…"

A huge demon shadow tens of meters high suddenly enveloped Elfman, and every step its huge body took caused the ground to tremble.

Boom~Boom~Boom~

The dull footsteps seemed to be stepping on Elfman's heartbeat.

Looking up, I saw a terrifying creature with two devil horns on its head.

His long snow-white hair fell from his head to his calves, ferocious fangs protruded from his lower jaw, his muscles bulged all over his body, and a few drops of blood flashed at the tip of his right claw.

King of beasts.

Looking at the terrifying monster, Elfman no longer felt fear. All he had left was anger!

Kill it, even if it means we both die together!

Elfman charged forward recklessly, swinging his fist.

But the next moment, something strange happened.

The huge "Beast King" quickly weakened in Elfman's eyes until it turned into a familiar human figure, a terrified human named "Elfman".

He is me? ! !

Then…who am I?

Elfman looked at his body. His long white hair fell from the back of his head to his waist. He had two huge devil horns on his forehead and his arms were covered in red hair.

The huge figure froze.

How could it be possible… The monster who killed Lisanna with my own hands… was me…

It's me who's to blame!

The sharp claws with a cold glow were pressed against the chin, and could pierce through the head with just enough force.

Below, Elfman's horrified expression froze, with a hint of triumph rising slightly.

That's right, go to hell.

Then let me inherit your body!

Just when the huge figure was about to commit suicide, a voice sounded at an inopportune time.

"Elfman, isn't it time for you to wake up? It's time to eat."

It's my sister!

The huge figure hesitated. If he died irresponsibly, what would happen to Sister Mira?

"Brother Elfman, get up quickly!"

Another familiar voice came from nowhere, but it made the giant figure burst into tears. It was Lisanna's voice.

In a trance, the huge figure saw a picture.

A handsome white-haired boy rescued Lisanna from "his" clutches at the critical moment.

Then, he treated "himself" as a ball and easily got rid of "himself".

So that's it, Lisanna is not dead!

"You are deceiving me, Beast King!"

As Elfman roared, his huge monster body disappeared, leaving only a strong human in its place.

Opposite him, the disguise of "Elfman" could no longer be maintained and he turned back into a monster, but not in the form of the giant beast before.

This is Elfman's spiritual world. As Elfman's will becomes clearer, the existence of the Beast King becomes extremely weak here.

With a leap, he pinned the Beast King to the ground. Elfman attacked from both sides, and his sandbag-sized fists pounded the Beast King's head into the mud like a pile driver.

Unable to even make a howl, the Beast King stared with resentment at the human riding on him. He wanted to use the last bit of his consciousness to block the heart of the human who was receiving his power.

"Brother Elfman, if you don't wake up, I'm going to lose my temper. Don't sleep!"

Lisanna's voice sounded again, and her cute voice made Elfman shudder. He only heard one meaning from this sentence, that sister Mira was going to be angry.

Elfman was stunned for a moment, which made the Beast King think that he had seized the opportunity, and he gathered all his strength and attacked him between the eyebrows.

Bang!

With a slap, he crushed the Beast King's sneak attack. In his own spiritual world, the sober Elfman was invincible.

He said nothing, but just grabbed the two devil horns on the Beast King's head and broke them hard, and while the Beast King was struggling, he stabbed the two devil horns into its eyes.

After opening his eyes, Elfman suddenly stood up with force, scaring Lisanna.

"Brother Elfman, you finally woke up."

Looking at the sweet smile on Lisanna's face, Elfman's tears welled up in his eyes and he immediately gave his sister a deep hug.

"Lisanna, I'm so glad you're okay, so glad…"

The words turned into sobs. Lisanna could feel her brother's mood, so she hugged Elfman's sturdy body tightly to comfort him.

Mira stood up at some point, touched her brother and sister's head, and couldn't stop crying.

"It's alright, Elfman."

It was a touching scene, but it was a shame that Noah didn't pay too much attention to the love between the siblings.

[Otherworld Request Completed]

[Reward: A pot of century soup]

[Comment from the client: This is the first time I have seen this kind of meat. Unfortunately, the butcher handled it in a rather rough way.]

In the pure white magical light, a steaming casserole emerged.

Noah Heart caught the casserole and dispersed the magic.

Feeling the temperature of the casserole, it feels like it was just taken off the stove.

Whether Noah was handing over the Beast King meat or accepting Alu's reward, it was all done in an instant through the magic of "prayer".

It seems as if there is no barrier between the worlds.

This magic seems a little against the will of heaven.

The smell of burnt food wafted over with a sizzling sound. Noah glanced at the barbecue on the fire, and his stomach growled at the perfect time.

The aroma of barbecue stopped Mira's siblings from crying. Mira glanced at Noah who was waving at her.

Now that things have come to this, let's eat first.

Lisanna saw Noah move the barbecue to the side of the campfire and put a casserole on it. "Hey? Where did you get the pot, Noah?"

"Don't worry too much about magic."

Noah said casually, then continued, "Did you bring a bowl or a spoon?"

Mira looked embarrassed, she brought her younger brother and sister here to complete the mission, not to camp, so why would they bring those daily necessities?

This Mr. Noah seems to be too relaxed.

Although there are no bowls and spoons, there is still time to make them on the spot.

Mira glanced at Elfman, who understood what she meant and immediately activated the receiving magic, transforming his arms into brute force beast claws.

Elfman randomly picked a nearby tree, raised his hand and clawed down, and the claws danced in the air to form a dense net, and a large amount of wood chips fell.

In less than three minutes, four wooden bowls and a soup spoon were ready.

Elfman respectfully handed a wooden bowl to Noah, showing his full respect. If it weren't for this man who suddenly appeared, he would have suffered a tragedy that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Noah nodded to Elfman. After all, he still admired a man who charged forward for his family.

Turning around and lifting the lid of the pot, Noah couldn't wait to experience the delicious food from this other world.

Clear and transparent.

It was like air soup. If it weren't for the boiling of the liquid in the pot due to the heating, Noah would almost think it was an empty pot.

But the beautiful rainbow-colored aurora rising above the pot and the intoxicating aroma are all proof of the culinary skills of the maker.

[Century Soup: A natural delicacy from this extremely cold land, which was successfully reproduced by a chef using relatively ordinary ingredients after it dried up.]

[Effect: After the first consumption, the body of the consumer will be deeply repaired and purified. ]

[Side effects: Delicious satisfaction, making the eater smile uncontrollably, lasting 30 to 60 minutes.]

Noah was a little confused when watching the introduction of the "Century Soup" by the "Wish" magic. Maintaining a smile for an hour? Could this be considered a side effect…

Each person had a bowl of century soup.

The rich flavor spreads in your mouth.

If I only use the word "delicious" to describe the taste of this soup, it always feels a bit shallow, but apart from that, I can't think of a more descriptive word than "delicious".

Lisanna and Elfman felt an incomparable sense of satisfaction, a satisfaction they had never experienced in their lives.

In addition to the delicious taste, Mira also felt that the injuries and hidden injuries in her body were quickly healed by this bowl of century-old soup.

It's like being reborn.

Even Noah noticed subtle changes in his body. The flow of magic power and blood in his body became smoother, and the energy circulation in his body became more efficient.

It is a kind of clarity from the inside out.

Before they knew it, the four of them were smiling beautifully because of the deliciousness of the Century Soup.
