Dual cultivator in the Apocalypse

Chapter 70

Sizz!

When my tongue touched the steak, it was like an explosion went off in my mind

Bitter! Bitter!! Bitter!

Sweet! Sweet!! Sweet!!!

The bitterness of the food was like ten times the bitterness of bitter leaf and the sweetness of it was twenty times of the taste after. The difference is the speed at which the bitterness of the steak changed to sweetness.

The touch of the steak on my tongue and the first taste made me feel like I'm eating a concocted bitter drink, I had no intention to spit it out.

The aroma and the juicy beef made me chew the peice uncontrollably, then…

I was stunned!

I was able to distinguish a dash of bean texture in amidst the bitterness on my tongue

"Is this tufo?"

Staring at the peice of steak that looked and felt like real beef, I munched even faster.

More and more of the tofu taste started to appear but it didn't wash away the bitterness. Instead, it set if the bitterness, making it more obvious and independent. With every chew, the bitter taste come first, then the delicious taste of the tufo.

However, if that wasn't the case, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to continue eating the bitter food while awaiting the sweetness coming behind.

The expectation of a sweet taste on the tongue might made one want to push himself but the pleasure to be derived whole eating the food won't satisfy the person.

I kept eating untyi tastdia crunchy part if the food,

"c***k! c***k! c***k!".

Continous continous crunching noise cane from my mouth

"Dried fried cartilage!" My eyes shone

My eating speed was faster, especially when the rice was served, I ate ten times faster.

Even though I was drenched in sweat, I never stopped eating for a moment.

Bowl after bowl was gobbled down, it was until the rice cooker was empty that I was forced to stop

"Thank you" I thanked Nicole with a sincere tone, I thanked him for bringing me to taste such a meticulously prepared meal

I then looked at Eric the chef, my calm eyes carrying the frantic passion made Eric shudder I controllably

"I want three more servings of the exact standard"

I said while feeling the bitter taste slowly converting to the very sweet taste I have been awaiting.

Even I was suprised I wanted to eat more, I felt like there is another organ in my body that is taking all of what I ate

"Why do I feel like what I did fir you earlier is more useless thab bringing you to a meal?" Nicole said in a suprised tone

"Because food is always special"

I said as I glanced over the new message sent by the system

[Consumed Holy Harem; The Holy Veil responded to the meal, The Holy Veil have a chance to earn a new attribute]

[Holy Harem: Whenever you are on a holy ground, the effects of The Holy Veil will be multiplied two, whenever you are on a darkness ground, you can summon the Holy Harem to help you counter the darkness]

[Note: More effects of the skill will be explained when skill is earned]

"Holy Veil eh? My time and quick digestion is worth it" I thought quietly

Holy was special to me, it is the only element to counter the devil in me. I might be half of a human and half of a devil but the humans heart is too simple, it's very easy for the devil's heart to manipulate it, by then, I might become a full devil aylose my conscience but if I have a Holy skill or it to counter the devil and help the human part of me to rake its stand against the devil's manipulation, I can maintain a balance.

Balance! That is what made me took a vacation from the dungeon

I was happy, I now have a chance to earn a skill that will countet darkness, who knows how rge devil world will be, full of darkness and evil maybe.

I can feel the holiness from the Holy Veil being passed through my eyes, into my brain, to my bones and then to my veins and arteries which passed it to all part of my body and my heart, stimulating my conscience and making it fight against the evil whispers of the devil in me

"Eric, I want yen servings" I said

I can feel the holiness passed to me by the Holy Veil go faster, I don't know why until I saw the message sent by the system

[Your equipment The Holy Veil gained it's ego, it can now intereact with you in a strange way that you might need to decipher]

My joy knew no bounds but not fur long because the next message on line was something I had feared

[Your partner, The Spirit Ghost rejected The Holy Veil's influence, this might cause an enmity between them since they are two contradictory forces]

That was unprepared fur but it us tge cold truth.

The Holy Veil pass joy and holiness through my body limiting the actions of the devil in me while the Spirit Ghost needs the hatred and darkness from the devil to nsje it's wail stronger, the fight between them is inevitable.

The spirit ghost started releasing spirit energy to circulate round my body so the actions of rge Holy Veil will be countered.

Through my spirit energy, tfe Spirit Ghost passed message to me, it was wailing STOP! the wail was it own way of conversing. It didn't stop there though

"Stop the enemy, I'm more useful than the enemy, I can give you subjects and help you fight on battle, I'm more useful than the enemy, please make it stop!" The Spirit Ghost wailed

The Holy Veil which just got its ego won't let itself be shut down before it even experienced how to converse

The Holy Veil was passing some words into my brain through my eyes but I didn't understand, it was hard fir me to decipher what it was saying. When the Holy Veil felt that I didn't understand it, it tried s different way.
