You May Praise Me

From an outsider’s view, the gigantic Bazar was nothing more than a mass of flesh. Even though the arms and head were barely distinguishable, it had become impossible to tell where the legs began and ended. However, the eyes of the [Emperor Chef] seemed capable of transcending such appearances.

It was not only the exterior but also the interior of the body. For example, the position of bones and the flow of blood vessels could be roughly understood in terms of structure. And a method to cook that enormous meat mass even came to mind. There was an abnormal part deep inside Bazar’s body.

Though the reason was unknown, if that part were removed, it would probably be impossible for that mass of flesh to maintain itself. If that happened, it would become possible to cook it…

“…Of course, I have no intention of eating it.” (Leon)

Thanks to that insight, the method to defeat Bazar was clear. In short, removing that mysterious abnormal part was all that was necessary. That was far easier than obliterating the entire huge mass of flesh. Leon leaped and unleashed a slash aimed at the closest spot to that abnormal part. He, then, delivered a second and a third strike, shaving off the flesh.

“…It repairs faster than I expected.” (Leon)

However, since Bazar kept devouring buildings, new flesh appeared as soon as it was shaved away, quickly restoring it to its original state.

“Arc, Iris, interrupt its meal.” (Leon)

““Understood!”” (Arc/Iris)

The twins nodded firmly at Leon’s command. The two massive arms had been smashing buildings and grabbing rubble to bring to the mouth. With a running start, the twins charged fiercely at the arms attempting to grab new rubble. The elasticity of the flesh almost sent the twins flying back, but the impact caused the giant arms to miss the rubble.

He tried to grab another piece immediately, but the twins charged a second time before they could. Again, Bazar failed to grasp the rubble.

“Don’t… interfere!!” (Bazar)

Bazar roared angrily at the interference with its meal. It swung its giant arms to attack, likely trying to eliminate the twins first. However, the twins dodged nimbly. To Bazar, they were about the size of insects, which meant its attacks couldn’t hit them at all. Meanwhile, the rate of flesh repair had slowed thanks to the twins’ disruption, allowing Leon’s excavation to advance greatly. A large amount of flesh had already been shaved away, and they were about three meters from the target part.

“Ughh!” (Bazar)

Suddenly, for some reason, Bazar rammed its head into a building. This caused the flesh repair speed to increase once more.

“Eating like a dog, how uncivilized…!” (Leon)

Apparently, it gave up using its arms to eat and had decided to eat directly with its mouth. Though the twins tried to interfere, they could not push away the much heavier upper body.

“Meltera, create a rock like before with magic and feed it to it.” (Leon)

“If we do that, it’ll only get bigger, won’t it!?” (Meltera)

“That’s why you’ll make one too big to swallow.” (Leon)

“I-I see!” (Meltera)

Meltera created a boulder right above Bazar’s head, which was busy eating the building like a dog.

“Yummy!” (Bazar)

As Leon had expected, Bazar immediately bit into the boulder. It seemed the magically created rock was preferable. Just as it bit happily, the rock rapidly grew in size.

“Agah!?” (Bazar)

Bazar made a silly noise. The boulder grew larger than its mouth, making it impossible to swallow. Though it tried to crush it, Meltera was continuously reinforcing the rock’s strength with magic, so it couldn’t break it at all. Taking advantage of this, Leon pressed on with the excavation and finally reached the spot.

“So, this is it.” (Leon)

There lay a dark blue mass of flesh emitting a sinister aura. Leon grabbed it with a firm grip and tore it off with all his strength.

“!?” (Bazar)

At that moment, Bazar’s movement completely stopped. Its huge body collapsed to the ground with a thunderous sound.

“…Have we defeated it?” (Leon)

There was no sign of it moving or its flesh repairing.

“It’s thanks to me! You may praise me!” (Meltera)

“I’m jealous! I haven’t done anything!” (Silvia)

“Kukuku, you shall reach my level soon enough.” (Meltera)

While Meltera puffed up proudly, Leon inspected the chunk of flesh he held. It was a soft, sinister mass, but its shape closely resembled something.

“A stomach?” (Leon)

A tubular digestive organ, narrow at the entrance and exit, and swollen like a bag in the middle.

“And this aura… it’s similar to that Demon’s right arm.” (Leon)

The Demon’s right arm that had been sealed in the underground labyrinth of the Kingdom of Ryumel. Perhaps it was something of the same kind.

—Devour, devour me. (???)

Suddenly, Leon was struck by a strange impulse. For some reason, that disgusting lump of flesh seemed delicious, and he wanted to eat it. Furthermore, a mysterious sensation arose that if he ate it, he might be able to consume every gourmet food in the world.

“I see. This is how it tempts people.” (Leon)

Probably, Bazar had succumbed to this temptation of food and eaten the flesh. That had led to what it was now. However, such temptation did not work on Leon, who possessed high mental resistance. He slammed it onto the ground and stomped it underfoot.

—Why? Why don’t you eat me…? (???)

“Who would eat something this disgusting? Besides, if it’s something tasty, I create it myself. Believe it or not, I am also a cook.” (Leon)

Leon refused the impulse and activated a spatial magic.

“Dimension Gate.” (Leon)

Rather than sealing such things, it was best to throw them far away.

—S-Sto—p! (???)

The chunk of flesh disappeared to some unknown otherworldly place.
