Having defeated monsters repeatedly in the world’s most difficult dungeon, the Abyss, Leon had reached the maximum level not only for the King Tamer job but also for his species level.

“Whistling really is convenient. Since monsters gather continuously, I can just keep casting magic from the same spot and defeat a large number of them.” (Leon)

Thanks to that, what I thought would take two or three days to max out the level was completed in just one day.

“Time to return to Barbara.” (Leon)

Leon used teleportation magic. Normally, to get from here to Barbara, he would have to cross the sea. However, teleportation magic makes it instantaneous. For that reason, he had previously marked the room in the inn where he stayed, just like at Zeta’s workshop. Incidentally, there was also a mark near the Abyss, so coming here had been instant as well. Since it was made a hundred years ago, he had been worried it might have disappeared, but luckily it remained intact.

After returning to Barbara, Leon immediately headed to the church.

“I want to acquire the Class I cooking job, [Cook].” (Leon)

“Understood. Then I will grant you the blessing of God.” (Priest)

Jobs:

[Sword Master] Level 20

[Grand Wizard] Level 20

[Saint] Level 20

[King Thief] Level 20

[King Tamer] Level 20

[Cook] Level 1

“All set. I need to level it up again.” (Leon)

So, Leon went back to the Abyss. Since it was a Class I job, he reached level 20 in less than an hour. Returning to Barbara, Leon headed straight to the church again.

“This time, I want to acquire the Class II job [Chef].” (Leon)

“…?” (Priest)

“You just acquired [Cook] not long ago…” (Priest)

“Yes, but I’ve already mastered it.” (Leon)

“That can’t be…!? Y-You really have mastered it!?” (Priest)

The priest was astonished, and thanks to his prayer, Leon successfully acquired [Chef].

Once more, he came to the Abyss.

“Phew.” (Leon)

Using the whistle, countless monsters surged from deep within the dungeon. Even though he had already defeated a considerable number, there was no sign of them running out. That was the world’s highest difficulty dungeon after all. Since it was the demon king’s base dungeon, Leon thought the monster strength might have declined after the demon king’s disappearance. However, the monsters remained almost as strong as before.

This meant that the demon king had not made the dungeon the highest difficulty but rather used an already incredibly dangerous dungeon as his lair. Leon, then, continued to defeat monsters without pause. Since it was Class II, it was naturally harder to level up than Class I. Still, just when he was close to reaching level 20…

“Hm?” (Leon)

Before the endless horde of monsters pressing forward in the dark cave, Leon noticed a strange feeling.

“That monster… looks edible.” (Leon)

Despite their terrifying appearance, the monsters strangely looked like ingredients. Moreover, it was not just one.

“That monster over there seems edible except for its poison. That one’s meat is no good, but its skin and bones might be edible.” (Leon)

This was surely due to the cooking job skills. Even monsters that had never been used as ingredients before could be judged as edible or not just by looking. Furthermore, it didn’t stop there. He could somehow tell where the monster’s weak points were, and how to cook it to make it taste better.

“It might surprisingly be useful in combat too.” (Leon)

Having raised [Chef] to level 20, Leon returned to the church in Barbara.

“You’re here again? What business brings you now…?” (Priest)

“I want to acquire the Class III job [Emperor Chef].” (Leon)

“Cl-Class III!? But you just got Class II [Chef]…” (Priest)

“I already mastered it.” (Leon)

“Who exactly are you!?” (Priest)

Leon thought maybe he had leveled up a little too fast. Fortunately, the priests were strictly forbidden from sharing information they learned during prayers, so there was no worry that this would spread.

“Unfortunately, no one in this church can grant Class III jobs.” (Priest)

“Oh, I see.” (Leon)

To grant Class III jobs, it is necessary to have the “Great Prayer” skill. Even in the Holy Kingdom, only the head priest possessed it. It would be difficult in Barbara. So, Leon teleported to the Holy Kingdom. Of course, using teleportation magic. He was glad he had inscribed a mark in the underground labyrinth of the temple.

“Leon-dono?” (Bastian)

“Long time no see, head priest-ojiichan.” (Leon)

The head priest Bastian was a man over 70. He looked at Leon appearing out of nowhere with wide eyes.

“The Three Saintesses have been looking for you. I thought you had left the country without saying a word…” (Bastian)

“I had some circumstances, so I didn’t have time to notify anyone. I’m currently in Barbara.” (Leon)

“…?” (Bastian)

Bastian could not understand how Leon could say he was in Barbara while standing right in front of him. However, something even more incomprehensible was told next by Leon.

“I came to acquire [Emperor Chef].” (Leon)
