The battle capabilities that The Holy Veil promised to have he it a quired the Holy Harem is too tempting to be neglected. Its ability to be able to counter darkness is very useful. Apart from keeping bajance in my body, I might have to use more time in the dungeon and whoi knows, might contact anything evil.
All I need to do is to encourage The Holy Veil and eat more foods like Holy Harem.
Looking at the lists in restaurants in my hand and glancing over the addresses, I hastened my steps.
….
Following the death of The Vanisher, the city experienced a peace for a period, other than Paul, the police chief trying ckear out the left overs forces of The Vanisher, nothing out of ordinary happened. .
If not fir my search for The Deceiver's Notes, I would have returned to the guild and acquire some contribution points.
Thay wasn't the only reason I didn't go back though.
Within a week after the death of The Vanisher, I have suddenly grow famous. Whether it is girl the fact that I killed the city's top criminal or I have been visiting different restaurants and eating around, everything I dud made a name for me in the city.
Some people swore that they saw me ate 10, 20, and 30 servings of the most delicious foods in the city, when the food isn not delicious, I take seven or eight servings. The most surprising part was that I can still move around and go to the next restaurant after having such a big meal.
All of thise weren't just useless; The Holy Veil ate and The Spirit Ghost ate. After eating more holy foods apart from Holy Harem, the attribute [Holy Harem] was added to The Holy Veil's attributes. I ate another food calked Devil's Bone, it was the toughest food I have ever eaten. To be honest, the food had little meat on it syit consist of bones of different wikd snimaks. After I was garnished with vegetables and roughages and cooked with some ingredients that I don't know, it made a delicious meal. With the help of the Spirit Ghost, all bones were cracked and The Spirit Ghost took the essence of the bones away. That meal was hell, I almost broke my teeth.
It wasn't useless either, +1 buffs was added to all my attributes and the Spirit Ghost got stronger too, that kept a balance between The Holy Veil and The Spirit Ghost.
I ate more foods that I can even remember, nit all if them were advantageous but thise that added strength to the two contradictory forces cause a power tussle between them. Eating one meal might make The Holy Veil stronger while eating another might make The Spirit Ghost meet up.
Anyway, there was this meal that I couldn't forget, [Holy Muagrim]. This food was offered to me by a church, the city doesn't know if this church is holy or kit but at least, it is not law breaking. Paul have run different investigations on the church and found them clean everytine.
This church who called themselves Church of the Dark Savior belived that the only way out of the darkness is through the darkness. The preach about doing some dark things to be able to liberate themselves from darkness. For example, to kill the evil master, join the evik master's army, complete all evil missions and get close to the evik master, then you can gave the opportunity to kill the evil master.
When the church learned about my ability to eat good food, as the savior of the city, they invited me to their Muagrim Annual Ceremony which I attended. They served me the Holy Muagrim and I ate around five servings.
Not that the food was good but because it wouldn't be enough for the ceremony if I ate too much.
The Holy Muagrim was delicious in no way. According to the church's priest, Muagrim is a beast in a jungle. It is s non partisan beast; it does nothing evil, neither does it do anything good. But if you hurt Muagrim, Muagrim will revenge ten times the deal done, if you save Muagrim, Muagrim will save you ten different times.
According to the church's history, the man who started the religion used to be an independent warrior.
He met a Muagrim in the wilderness and befriend the Muagrim. During a fight with some unknown robbers, the Muagrim was tamed and taken away from him.
The man planned on saving the Muagrim so he joined the robbers who he later found out are from a big secret evil organization.
The organization wanted to sacrifice the Muagrim and the man was sent to gather ingredients that will used for the sacrifice. During this mission, he had to kill a lot because the ingredients are with people that are also strong and have their own organization. He joined different organisations and got all the ingredients, he went back to the secret evil organization and they started the sacrifice preparation.
One wouldn't expect to join different organisations and not make friends, he preached his believe to people everywhere he went and skreaty had up to a hundred people who believed his ideology. There are also people in the secret evil organization that believed him. He connived with all his believets and they planned to save the Muagrim.
During the night of the sacrifice, most of the organization members were absent, obky around fifty were present to protect theyr leader. An attack was launched by tgenans believers and the Muagrim was saved.
Unfortunately, the organization leader suspected something like that might happened so he already planned a counterattack. He used one of his powers which he acheived from sacrificing strong beasts, he used the power on the man but Muagrim saved the man. In the process, the Muagrim lost its life while killing the organization leader too.
The man kept preaching the ideology until Church of the Dark Savior was formed. The celebrated the Muagrims death every year and eat bones of wild animals.
I listened attentively to the story when it came out of the church's priest's mouth.
Eating the Holy Muagrim wasn't a waste of time, in fact, it was worth it.
The Holy Muagrim is a meal that benefited both The Spirit Ghost and The Holy Veil. I even got a system notification about the food
[You ate a sacred food; chance to earn the skill; Balance: 10%]
Although I'm yet to earn the skill, the neak still kept a balance between the Holy Veil and the Spirit Ghost. It made the two of them enjoyed peace fur a period of time.
Eating five servings of the Holy Muagrim suprised the members of the church, the members of the church who veiwed themselves as qualified to eat the sacred food can only strive to eat a bone in a servings, the stringer one ate two and the priest ate three. But I ate five servings. There are around five bines in a serving and this suprised the church members a lot.
They couldn't keep the news to themselves so they spilled it out to the public, along with names that fit rfe characteristics.
"The Hellhole" because they believed it is bottomless
"Heavens Pathway" because they believed it has no end.
The new titles spread like fire across the city and that was what the commoners called me.
The super villians and super humans preferred to call me "Infinite Barrel"
Unlike the commoners, the super humans and villians prefer to call one according to his or her strength, since I have showed great strength in eating, they winger if I can swallow a while super villian without getting full so they made out the name "infinite" to crown me as a strong super human.
The strong will be respected, the strong will be crowned, whether evil or bad.
Being abje yo defeat the top criminal, The Vanisher stood on top of the headlines and roamed across the city for a long time.
Despite my love for food, it wouldn't hurt my skills.
The title 'infinite' followed the merit
Well I didn't care about the title. But I go wonder, if the title co yoburd for a long time, can it become a real title added to my identity? Just like the Hybrid of Devil and Human, or the Heir of Gursta though I'm yet to acheive the title
I didn't have time to care about that now
I picked up the pizza and stuffed it right into my mouth.
The pepperoni and the shrimp, the cheese and the crust filled my mouth in an instant.
The pepperoni had substantial filling if neat and shrimp wnganxed it with it's seafood taste. With these cheese acting as a harmonizer, all the flavours were fixed into the pizza
Plus the tiny bites of spices, green pepper, white pepper, sliced tomato, sliced carrot and cashew nuts, with each bite that took, I was left with an endless aftertaste.
It was delicious as other food that I have eaten but neither dud The Holy Veil nor did The Spirit Ghost reacted to it.
All both if them dud was take a taste befire going silent.
They didn't even absorb any essense from the food talkless of going stronger.
Common food effects will decrease their interest? I must try something rare and something fresh.
So this is how equipments behave when they grow their ego?
Huu
I took a deep breath and heard a knock on the door
Dok Dok Dok
Knockings were heard from the other side of the door
I straightened my body as the guest I have been waiting for had arrived
