The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online

Roasted Minotaur

Nier let out a long sigh before sitting down and leaning his back on the tree. He looked very tired, but his brain never stopped spinning at the thought of the fight.

"Now what should I do?" Nier stared at his knife and stove which was now immersed on the ground.

[Dark Stove] and [Dark Knife], both of them were extremely powerful weapons. But after Nier raised their level, now his weight increased so many times that he could no longer lift it.

"Tch. the goddamn weapon, I didn't know that its weight would increase if its level was raised..."

There are 2 problems in the gun. The first was a severe problem and the second was a Skill problem.

If it was only a severe matter, Nier already knew what the cause was. Unlike the skill, he did not know why the stove could not grow when fighting with the Minotaur earlier.

Indeed, this skill is too strong, but is it possible just because of the large size of Nier's weapon until it is exposed to Nerf?

Nier noticed his stove embedded in the ground, then a frown formed on his forehead.

"Wait a minute..don't tell me my stove can't grow bigger just because it's embedded in the ground?"

Since that was the only guess that made the most sense, Nier immediately summoned [Dark Spatula] and started digging the ground around [Dark Stove].

A dozen minutes passed and now [Dark Stove] was no longer embedded in the ground.

"Huh.I hope it works." Nier stretched her body then walked backwards away from [Dark Stove].

"Dark Stove, zoom in 100 meters!"

Pooofs!

As Nier had expected, [Dark Stove] began to be shrouded in black fog and not long after that it enlarged.

1 meters.

3 meters.

5 meters.

And after the size of 5 meters his stove suddenly stopped enlarging, Nier could see that the stove was stuck on a large tree nearby.

Seeing this, Nier finally understood. The skill would not be able to be activated if the weapon got stuck.

"But this way..didn't my stove become useless?"

The gigantic size was the superiority of his weapon, but if there was a limit like this it was obvious that the superiority of his weapon became useless.

The free weapon has the ability to enlarge 1,000 meters if there is no space around it where maybe the skill can be used.

"Well, it doesn't do much good to keep using such tricks."

True, Nier initially entered the game just for fun. He enjoyed every fight he did. But if he focuses too much on his weapons, the excitement and passion in the game is bound to disappear.

After thinking about many things, Nier suddenly smiled, "If I say so, it seems like I got a pretty interesting idea..."

Nier stared at the stove with a grin then not long after he took out the [Dark Spatula] and started digging up the ground around him.

The plan that Nier had just obtained was very simple.

First he would set a trap by hiding a 9-meter-long stove within the ground. In addition to the stove, he would also prepare a [Dark Pan] which he would wrap on a very long bamboo.

Second, after the trap was over he would go lure the Minotaur into his trap and after that he would enlarge the size of the [Dark Pan] to get the Minotaur trapped inside.

And the last plan, of course Nier will burn the Minotaur to death.

Very simple, but this plan is worth a try.

After tens of minutes passed Nier finally finished making his trap.

Now [Dark Stove] was covered with soil and in the middle was a tall bamboo with [Dark Pan] on it.

"Everything is ready and then just look for the Minotaur." Nier grinned and then stored all the bamboo into his Inventory.

"But first of all I have to test it, I don't want my carelessness to cause such trouble."

The reason Nier lost the fight with the Minotaur was because of his carelessness, if only before the fight had he checked his weapon, it probably would not have been like this.

"Dark Pan, increase 10 meters!"

[Dark Pan] who was on top of the bamboo started to grow and then not long after..

The kreeek!

Boom up!

The bamboo that held him was broken causing his panc to crash to the ground.

"Lumayan, then, Dark Stove turn on the fire!"

Pooofs!

The flames shot out from the 6 small holes Nier had made on the ground. The small hole is useful to know whether the stove is alive or not. He also knew that fire could not be formed in the absence of oxygen, which is why he had to prepare for all the possibilities that would occur.

"Good, it's time for leveling." Nier grinned at the trap that looked so great.

But first he had to fix his trap and then he went to look for the Minotaur.

Not for 60 seconds did he walk, he suddenly saw the Minotaur walking towards his trap.

'Luckily the trap is done, otherwise the Minotaur might just leave.'

Nier who was hiding behind a tree quietly observed the Minotaur's movements, if the Minotaur turned in a different direction, he would immediately lure him into a trap.

But somehow because of what the Minotaur instead walked on the bamboo trunk that Nier had prepared and not only that, the Minotaur also sat and relaxed beside him.

"I know the Minotaur is stupid, but is it this stupid? Why couldn't he realize the trap looked so obvious!?"

Instead of being happy because the Minotaur had fallen into his trap, Nier was amazed at the stupidity of this creature.

"But let it be, maybe this is my luck." Nier let out a long sigh and then began to calm himself down, "Dark Pan, zoom in 10 meters!"

The kreeek!

Boom up!

[Dark Pan] grew up and fell down and locked up the Minotaur below.

Nier smiled happily then not long after the pancakes shook and slightly raised upwards.

Pangs!

Pangs!

The pot was once again raised up, Nier knew that the Minotaur was hitting the center of the fountain.

"Damn, what am I supposed to do? if that Minotaur manages to shift [Dark Pan] aside then my stove attack will become useless."

The shadow of the [Dark Knife] suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Right, there's that way!" Without hesitation Nier ran and climbed up the tree that was near [Dark Pan]. After reaching the highest point he immediately jumped on top of his pancake.

Pangs!

Once again the pot shook, Nier who was on top of it also shook so much that it almost made him fall.

"Damn!" After his balance returned Nier immediately ran to the middle of [Dark Pan] then...

"Dark Knife!"

Pangs!

His knife fell and was followed by an attack from the Minotaur.

Pangs!

[Dark Pan] was once again attacked by the Minotaur, but the attack did not lift the pot.

"It worked?" A relieved smile formed on Nier's face. Although the knife could not be lifted, but at least it was still useful to withstand the vibrations of [Dark Pan].

Nier got down and got away from there. It was time for him to bake the Minotaur.

"Dark Stove! Turn the fire to the extreme!"

Twoar!

A blackish-red flame shot out from the six holes, the fire was so hot that even Nier who was in the distance was still feeling hot.

But Nier did not care, his eyes widened when he saw the system notification spam that kept popping up.

『 You have dealt 169,000 damage to the target. 』

『 You have dealt 169,000 damage to the target. 』

『 You have dealt 169,000 damage to the target. 』

...

In an instant dozens of system notifications filled his gaze.

"It... Isn't this a cheat?"

169,000 damage per second, even with one touch of fire can make Nier die many times. With this Nier is sure that no player can live if exposed to the fire of the stove.

Maybe Nier now thinks the stove is a cheat item, but he did not know that raising the stove to level 169 took 1 year.

Who would want to lose the level he has raised over the years just to improve his cookware?

Well, except Nier no one else wants to do it.

The notification continued until the end..

『 You have dealt 169,000 damage to the target. 』

『 You have killed Minotaur level 104. 』

『 Experience gained. 』

『 Minotaur Skin obtained. 』

『 Minotaur Meat obtained. 』

『 Minotaur Horn acquired. 』

『 Level has increased. 』

『 Level has increased. 』

『 Level has increased. 』

『 Level has increased. 』

By killing one Minotaur, Nier's level increased by 14 times.

"Looky! At least I have to kill 5 more Minotaurs before going to the Capital."

Nier smiled happily, he needed 250 points of Dark Energy in order to use the Masquerade Skill. Wh why? Of course, only the Masquerade Skill is very useful when it comes to sneaking.

"Let's do it! At least today I should be level 50."

After saying so Nier immediately ran preparing his trap and prepared to trap the Minotaur again.
