Chapter 600

"Roll to the left."

-Screeeeeeech!!!

As the Fire Chicken writhed in agony, it let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if it were on the verge of death. Then, it glared at the Azure Dragon, Rumble, who was shivering beside it.

It's all because of you! That was the sentiment mixed in its gaze.

The Fire Chicken wanted to yell at the Azure Dragon, but its oral structure only allowed it to caw quietly as it shed blood tears, unable to talk.

Caww

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Too slow. Roll to the right.

A massive pot appeared out of nowhere as Davey chopped vegetables on a cutting board.

-Screeeeech!!!

With an anguished cry, the Fire Chicken rolled again and again. It was filled with fear that its father might change his mind and throw it into the frying oil.

"What in the world..."

"What on earth are you doing?"

The three peopleYun Hee-Ryeong, Kwak Mi-Young, and Su-Yoonseemed at a loss for words. Perserque and Rinne, however, were familiar with the hierarchy among Davey and his pets. The former kept silent, while the latter rhythmically tapped the table with a fork and knife in hand, seated at the table Davey had set up.

"Rinne. Highly value precious ingredient, new taste data," Rinne stated.

Rumble quivered at the sight of Rinne, who was licking her lips and behaving, in its view, ferociously and ominously. Watching the shivering Rumble, the Fire Chicken squirmed even more violently on the ground.

"Uh... Sir Davey?" In the midst of this ludicrous scene, Kwak Mi-Young cautiously called out to Davey.

"Just wait a moment. The flesh and gall of a divine beast, especially the Azure Dragon, have been known as unmatched elixirs for ages."

"Ah... But..."

Since Kwan Mi-Young did not know what to do, Yun Hee-Ryeong intervened. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean? I just told you to wait a bit."

"No! Are you really planning to eat those Divine Beasts?!" Her outcry was met with vigorous nods from Su-Yoon and Kwak Mi-Young. Their eyes bore intense empathy.

"Divine Beast?"

"Yes! Divine Beasts! Look over there! Unless my eyes are completely blind, that one is the Divine Beast of Fire, the Vermillion Bird, and that one is the Divine Beast of Thunder, the Azure Dragon!"

Davey remained silent.

"And the one asleep there is...uhthe White... White Tiger..."

Indeed. In this world, the legendary Divine Beasts were known as magnificent entities that brought immense good fortune to humans. And yet, one of these beings was rolling on the ground following Davey's order, while another trembled in fear. For those who were well-aware of what the Divine Beasts were, this situation was utterly astounding.

"If the people from the Imperial Sorcery Division saw this, they'd be foaming at the mouth," Su-Yoon remarked, equally baffled.

"No, so are you going to eat or not?"

"How could you eat that! You'll incur divine punishment!"

Davey furrowed his brow. "Im sure divine punishment is not really enough for someone like me."

"What?"

"Never mind."

Thump!!

Davey stopped cutting radishes and glanced at Rumble, causing it to tremble.

"See, I understand. Living under my pressure and then suddenly getting such a power boost here must be very unsettling."

Rumble shuddered as it looked at Davey, who then gently stroked its neck and scales, and their already pale blue color seemed to pale even further.

"Rumble."

-Grrrrrrrrr.

It seemed to have forgotten that Davey was the kind of master who could teach others anger management the hard way and turn a fierce and proud dragon into a meek and humble worm.

"The air here is good, isn't it?" A grin crossed Davey's face, and Rumble nodded its head like mad.

"That's why I called all of you here...to nourish your bodies."

"..."

"And yet, you're intoxicated with power and bare your fangs at your own father?" Davey's eyes flashed.

As madness frosted over Daveys smiling face, Rumble's eyes seemed as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Rinne, light the fire."

"Rinne is guest, not supposed to labor."

"Would you like to take their place?"

"Rinne, high praise for fast mission execution!"

[Divine Protection]

[Renewal]

The tasteless medicine began to transform into an unparalleled divine elixir. Watching the flickering light at Davey's fingertips, the spectators instinctively began to tense up, sensing the unknown power behind it.

[Reinforce the Mind]

He even applied a mental fortification effect.

Now watch carefully. This is the power of a saint from another continent.

[Saint Gloria]

Whoom!!!!

Not just from Davey's fingertips but from his entire body poured forth an immense holy power, radically amplifying the effects of the broth, which was already ridiculously potent.

"Phew..."

Drawing a short breath, Davey slowly said, "The effects will last for three days."

This medicine would turn even ordinary people into incredible monsters beyond their comprehension. An elderly person might not even be able to leave their bed to go about their business, but if they ingested this potion, they would become able to not only rise and walk, but pick up and throw rocks weighing dozens of kilograms.

If Davey could stay by their side, a simple buff might suffice. But Davey could not afford to cast such crude spells now. Since they would be moving separately, this was the best course of action.

"I won't be taking any objections. Everyone, eat up."

Davey poured the broth, which radiated holy power that anyone could sense, into cups. He extended one to the closest person, Su-Yoon.

"Drink this, Princess Jadeflower."

"Ugh?! What... what's that smell?" She recoiled and cringed at the awful smell.

"Drink and let the power flow through you!"

Daveys expression and words made him look very much like a sinister dark magician. Su-Yoon shivered and inquired, "If I doPrince Daveywhat will the price be?"

"Your taste buds."

Davey could not guarantee the taste, after all.

"I... I won't eat it!"

"Me... I won't either!"

"I'd also rather not..."

Unlike Rinne, who was eagerly preparing to drink the broth, the three ladies were desperate to refuse.

"This is murder! Attempted murder of a royal! Im still alive, and now you want to finish me off..."

"After all the trouble I went through to make it for you?"

Chilled by his glare, Su-Yoon twitched. "You're... a tyrant."

"Drink it. Otherwise, even if you really die, I can't help you."

Her face turned to gloom, and she hesitantly accepted the cup.

-Screeeeeeech!!!

Seeing the liquid scream as she looked into the cup, Su-Yoon's eyes welled up.

"Ah... can't I just... not eat this? No matter how I look at it..."

"Consuming it wont kill you, but not consuming it might."

She did not argue, but just stared at the cup.

"Well, it wont kill you but itll taste like it does. You probably won't have an appetite for about a week after eating it."

Somewhere in a hidden cave, inhuman screams echoed. Who knew what torture the poor creature was subjected to?

***

"Sir Davey. A cold appraisal. Tastes like ten-year-old sewer water." Even Rinne, a huge fan of the most bizarre foods, frowned at the taste.

Come on, it just tastes like death, Davey thought. "Alright, listen carefully. Perserque and I are going to catch the cause of this mess. Yun Hee-Ryeong, you're coming with me."

"Me... Me?"

"Yes. You come with me."

She was too much of a wildcard to be left alone.

"And Peach Blossom Fairy, please take Princess Jadeflower and head to the palace. Itll take about half a day on horseback."

Kwak Mi-Young, who had collapsed and was retching on the floor, looked up at Davey.

"Do not reveal Princess Jadeflower's identity. Enter quietly. And when you meet the Emperor of Yu"

"I... I am the acting emperor..." Su-Yoon slowly lifted her head from the floor. "If... If you have something to say, say it to me."

"Well, that makes things easier. Have a few reliable people get ready."

Not just the beings from the Abyss had the ability to scheme.

Davey handed her a small piece of paper. This is
