I Became a Soul Eater

The clones in the water camped in a circle right under the grass fish and made them follow it up.

Even though Bastet and I were almost a hundred meters apart, the pool fish sensed something strange and tried to go back underwater.

Of course, I have no intention of leaving it that way. The clones in the water fired magic bullets all at once, creating a shock wave.

Shockwaves were created in all directions directly below, and the pool fish jumped out of the water in surprise.

And there was a hole in the direction where the full fish jumped.

What I struggled with was how the grass fish move. Is it only possible under water or is it possible over water? It was because there was no information about whether it was possible without any preparation like normal space movement.

However, as soon as the hole in the dimension was opened and the pool fish appeared, half the answer came out. He said that there was someone who had definitely caught and ate grass fish in the past.

No matter how advanced the civilization of the world where Setas lived, it was hundreds of years ago, and since it was caught in some way, it must have been eaten. Full fish is not invincible.

I space-traveled in the direction the grass fish jumped, and at the same time I threw a space cut at the dimensional hole created by the grass fish.

A crack formed in the dimensional hole hit by the space cut and disappeared. Actually, this is not something I did for sure. However, I did ask Setas in advance. Setas replied that it would be possible.

When the dimensional hole he was trying to escape from disappeared, the grass fish split the air. It would have been much easier to catch the grass fish if it had been cut by space cutting.

But if you do that, you can’t steam the barrel? If you accidentally burst something like the intestines, the taste of the hard-caught meat will be terrible. Even if Bastet forgave it, she couldn’t forgive herself.

Before the pool fish fell back into the water, I teleported to the side of the pool fish, then took out my sword and stabbed it precisely in the back of the head, severing the nerve.

And quickly put it into the subspace. Freshness is the life of fish.

“Got it!”

I felt the joy of victory that I had never felt before against any formidable enemy. In the distance, Bastet could be seen jumping in her place, jumping for joy.

It also quickly absorbed the full fish’s soul. I didn’t expect much, but it was just a normal big fish’s soul. Perhaps grass fish are not a species born with innate abilities.

Anyway, the real battle starts now. I quickly moved to the prepared workbench and placed the grass fish on the large workbench.

Blood flows from the place where the sword was stuck in the head. Just in case, I cut off the head and drained the blood, and set aside the blood. There might be something in the blood or meat as the soul had no special abilities. Don’t we have blood experts?

There is no time to rest even after the blood is drained. Remove the scales and collect them as well. The iridescent scales were much stronger than expected. Even if you can’t make something useful, you can at least make a very beautiful piece of jewelry. What can’t be done with a knife is easier than expected. A sword well forged by a dragon is so useful.

Then the stomach was opened and the intestines were carefully removed. The intestines are no different from those of ordinary fish, as far as I can see. At least, there were no fish characteristics such as a very large bladder or a large liver.

Still, just in case, I carefully removed the internal organs and put them in a subspace. Coincidentally, we have two body modification experts. Leave it to them and they might figure something out.

I was planning on steaming it with a barrel, but I cut off a very small portion of the belly. And make a thin cloth.

“Would you like to make a point?”

When I held it out to Bastet, who had been drooling in front of me for a while, the cat’s hand snatched the meat at an invisible speed.

Wow!

Bastet’s admiration echoed through the Great Forest. I’m not a big fan of raw meat, but if so, I’ll give it a try.

As soon as it touches the tip of the tongue, it feels tangled. When the teeth dig into the flesh of such a fish, the juice bursts out like when you bite into a juicy fruit. Did I say full fish because it was full of all flavors? This is not at that level. My mind goes blank.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in tears. Chewing on a piece of raw fish and shedding tears, I didn’t expect a day like this to come.

It didn’t even look like it had been chewed, but only the umami taste lingered in my mouth, and there were no pieces of meat left. When I looked at the meat I had cut to eat another piece, I saw a cat that had already taken the place of the meat.

[Go ahead and cook]

“Ah, yes”

If it wasn’t for Bastet, I wouldn’t have known there was a full fish, so I don’t hold grudges. Well, it’s not something that can be won by fighting in the first place.

I regretted cutting off the belly fat so little. But the meat is already gone. Started steaming right away.

A full fish is a huge fish that is 2 meters tall. You will need a large steamer to steam it whole. But there is.

There is a steamer made by the different tribes to steam the pig in a barrel when they hold a festival. A large steamer containing all of the Dwarf skills.

The Dwarven Elder who made this explained for 30 minutes how great technology went into this steamer, but that’s not the point now.

He generously poured Drakan’s sake into the steamer. It’s a precious drink that even Howard doesn’t give well these days, but this is a dish worth it. Then, a tray was placed, and vegetables to catch any unwanted odors were placed on it, and the body of the grass fish was placed on top of it.

I thought about adding a little spice, but I shook my head. This is a dish that should maximize its natural taste.

Close the lid with a triple structure and apply heat. I summoned a fire spirit to heat the steamer in all directions.

The steamer heats up, and a smell that will soon drive you crazy spreads out. This is a mental attack level. At least to me, this feels many times stronger than Lily’s laughter.

But it seems I’m not the only one who feels that way. It was very leisurely, but this place is a great grove. It is a place where demons are infested nearby.

Nearby, large monsters who claim to have their own territory and use their strength began to flock to them, attracted by the smell. I wanted to step out, but I didn’t even have to.

Haaagh!

As Bastet’s hiss resonated, the weaker ones got scared and started to back away, but the stronger ones didn’t stop and started coming closer.

Bastet’s eyes turned fierce. I had never seen Bastet so angry.

From noble mtl dot com.

Every time Bastet disappeared and appeared, large monsters from the Great Forest started flying in all directions.

Now flying nearly twenty meters off the ground and crashing into it is a twin-headed ogre similar to the one Howard fought before.

That’s right, in front of Bastet, it’s like a mouse in front of a cat. It seems that the twin heads have become one heads because of one hit.

After Bastet ran amok for a while, all the monsters approaching were cleared. It seems that some of the masters of the Great Grove are now gone.

I put one of my alter egos in the pot and was adjusting the fire while accurately observing its condition. Normally, if you leave it to the fire spirit in moderation, it will be a good dish, but this is a dish that shouldn’t be done.

Without allowing even a second of error, the flame spirit was accurately sent back and steamed.

It is the most painful time. Even Bastet couldn’t sit still, pacing around the steamer.

The end of the wait has finally come. The moment I open the lid of the steamer, the end of everything will be visible.

The moment I opened the steamer, I almost lost my mind at the rich scent that I felt along with the thick steam. This is absolutely not the scent that can come from steaming fish.

Although I was delirious, I endured for the sake of the heaven that would come soon.

When the steam evaporated, the giant steamed grass fish, which was not even cut to keep the taste inside, revealed its majesty.

He picked up an antique cooking knife made by a dwarf artisan and cut off the flesh of the grass fish. He cut a large piece of flesh from a grass fish that was whiter than snow, put it on a plate, and handed it to Bastet first. Bastet immediately hit her head on the steamed pool fish.

I thought I heard something strange, but I didn’t care. All my nerves were focused on the steaming grass fish in front of me.

Similarly, he cut a large piece of flesh and bit it right into his mouth.

“Kheop!”

I had a good time living a long life. It was good to be reborn as a human being. I really did a good job.

This taste is not a level that can be finished with taste. Steamed fish satisfied all the senses of the body.

Bastet and I ate the steamed grass fish in a competitive manner, without anyone saying anything first.

Soon, all the flesh on the body of the full fish was gone, leaving only the bones. No, some of the bones were gone, and not even the broth was left.

I don’t know where the bulk of it went. I also knew for the first time that I had a body that could swallow so much.

“It was delicious.”

I was so hungry that I was lying on the floor and gasping for breath. When I said a word, Bastet, who had turned into a round ball in the distance and was rolling around, waggled her tail.

I will live a long time to eat this again. But can I catch a full fish again?

“Can I catch another full fish?”

[That I do not know.]

Is it a fish that appears at a level unknown even to God? If it tastes like this, it’s worth it. No matter how many dimensions you move around, a god who knows this taste will not let you go.

After a little digestion, I took all the remaining remains of the grass fish. This may also be used for research. No, strictly speaking, this is not a creature of this world. If you use it as an ingredient for the elixir of immortality, you might be able to expect something new.

After a dinner that both gods and humans were satisfied with, he returned to the manor and visited a blood specialist with the blood of a pool fish.

I picked up a bottle full of the pool fish’s blood and held it out in front of Eltis.

“You know what?”

“It is fish blood.”

He is also an expert. I know what it is even if I haven’t opened the cap of the bottle.

“Is there anything else?”

“Yes, it is the blood of a fish that has lived a little longer. Is it some special fish?”

“I was wondering if there was something in your blood, but it seems there isn’t.”

I’ll try to research it separately, but I guess blood isn’t special. Eltis paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Rather than that, I think it’s time to leave soon.”

I guessed. I have no intention of stopping it. I don’t even have that right.

“You don’t have to ask for my permission for that.”

“no. Permission must be obtained. I think all of my tribe will leave together.”

Vampires in the New World are residents of my territory.

“Why are you all leaving all of a sudden?”

“Even if I’m fine, the rest of my people can’t stop bleeding forever. So far, it seems to have been solved by getting blood from other races little by little, but that can’t be forever.”

Now that we have returned to a world overflowing with humans, is there no need for that? He said he would go out into the world to suck human blood, but he didn’t feel particularly repulsed.

“What are you going to do when you go out?”

Even if he went out into the world, he would not intend to make a living underground by making wine or cutting trees.

“We intend to do what we do best.”

If a vampire can do the best, there will be brewing skills and wood crafts, but there is only one thing that is superior to that. killing people. It is a species specialized for it. The smile of Eltis, who smiled a little apologetically, looked sad.

“Then do I really need to leave?”

“yes?”

“Do that in our manor. It is the safest here.”

“I don’t know what that means.”

You’ll think it’s strange that I’m suddenly telling you to kill people in my estate.

“I heard you were thinking of killing someone?”

“Yes, what”

“Let’s make an assassination squad. And to put the headquarters in our manor. Assassin headquarters, isn’t it the safest place in the world? I assure you, even the emperor can’t touch it at will. How good is it to earn money, take care of meals, and only have to kill the bad guys when you receive requests and not have to be separated from the late Violetta?”

“Ah, that way…but I’ll have to think about it a bit. I think I need to consult with my own people.”

But I was pretty sure I was halfway there. After sending Eltis to the New Continent, Eltis accepted my proposal.

That’s how the continent’s strongest Assassin Blue Moon was created.
