Chapter 118: Finishing The Last Test And Obtaining Skills And Artifacts (1)

Distere held his kitchen knife tightly while concentrating almost all of his mana into it.

"The scale of the water wyvern is almost impenetrable that I even needed at least most of my mana to apply in my kitchen knife just to pierce its scale."

Distere commented to us while poking the scale of the water wyvern using his kitchen knife.

Distere's kitchen knife pierced through the scale of the water wyvern and he slowly applied force into it.

Distere used his kitchen knife to carefully peel off the scale of the water wyvern causing it to reveal its flesh.

Distere shove his kitchen knife into the flesh of the water wyvern and slowly dug deeper into it.

While Distere was thrusting his kitchen knife inside the flesh of the water wyvern, he often twisted and turned his kitchen knife while manipulating the mana in his kitchen knife.

I channeled my mana into my eyes and checked and observed the mana inside the water wyvern's body including the mana in Distere's kitchen knife.

I saw that Distere used the mana in his kitchen knife to cleanly remove and cut off the organs inside the water wyvern's body.

The way that Distere had wielded his kitchen knife to remove the organs of the water wyvern demonstrated Distere's ability in his cooking.

Distere's knife techniques had drastically improved and I wouldn't be surprised if his knife techniques had reached level 8 or even MAX level.

Distere must have painstakingly improved his knife techniques and didn't slack off in his training.

That's just showed how hardworking and talented Distere was and how great Axel was at mentoring Distere.

After Distere cut off the organs of the water wyvern inside its body, he sliced off the flesh of the water wyvern including its scales to create a huge hole in its body which revealed its organs.

Distere covered his hands using his mana and plunged his hand into the inner body of the water wyvern to collect the organs inside the water wyvern's body that Distere had already severed from its body.

If Distere was capable of opening the water wyvern's body to expose its organs, then why did he went through all of that trouble to remove the organs of the water wyvern while it was still inside its body?

I wanted to ask Distere about that but it seemed that it wasn't the time for idle chat.

Distere was too serious in his actions and he performed his actions with utmost precision, perfection and concentration so I didn't dare to disrupt him in his actions.

After Distere took out an organ from the fresh corpse of the water wyvern, he would coat it with mana and place it on the ground which protected the organ from exposure and impurities.

It must be because of the organs being 'rich in nutrients and mana' that Distere took out the organs of the water wyvern while it was still inside its body.

It must also be the reason why Distere imbued his mana into the organs of the water wyvern which was a countermeasure to avoid the organs losing it's rich nutrients and mana due to exposure.

I didn't know about cooking that much but my reasoning should be plausible.

After Distere took out all of the organs inside the fresh corpse of the water wyvern, he started peeling off the scales of the water wyvern, leaving no flesh stuck in the water wyvern's scales.

Since the water wyvern's corpse was long and huge, it took Distere too much time just to remove all of the scales in its body and he would need to go around and go back and forth from left to right just to remove all of the scales of the water wyvern.

After Distere peeled all of the water wyvern's scales, he placed it on the ground without covering it with his mana since it must not be that delicate compared to the water wyvern's organs.

"Phew... Finally! I have now removed all of the organs inside the water wyvern and peeled off its scales. I have of no use to the water wyvern's flesh so do what you want with it."

Distere commented to us as he piled all of the looted remains of the water wyvern in one place.

Afterward, he flopped his body on the ground, sat on the ground, and took a deep breath before lying on the ground.

"After all, compared to the water wyvern's organs and scales, the rest of the parts are not that valuable but its bones should be at least a bit valuable considering it could be used in forging weapons and its tendons could be used in creating the string of a bow."

Distere told us while he was enjoying the texture of the ground that was filled with lush grass as it came in contact with his bare skin.

Amongst us, Distere acted as if he was the one who contributed the most towards our team while showing that he was exhausted the most.

I can't disagree with Distere's action since he took a lot of his time just to perfectly dismantled the remains of the water wyvern so he should be at least second of the most who contributed to our team.

The first place would be Ferros since his destruction mana that was combined with Distere and my mana sword was what tremendously boosted the attack power of the mana sword which aided it in penetrating the scales of the water wyvern.

After Distere told us about the value of the organs and scales of the water wyvern compared to its other remains, Satomi dug his hands into the flesh of the water wyvern and gobbled up the raw flesh of the water wyvern whilst it was drenched in the water wyvern's fresh blood.

It must be the reason why the corpse of the monster who had fought against Satomi was all bones and some of the bones were shattered that remained.

Satomi must have devoured the raw meat of the monster he had fought against while biting and crunching its bone.

Putting that aside, Satomi and the rest of the team except for Grace who was still unconscious had started to remove the flesh of the water wyvern from its corpse.

Catherine used her nature magic to gather woods and build a campfire while Satomi used his fire magic to light up the campfire.

Catherine utilized her nature magic to manipulate the wood from the trees and transform it into barbecue sticks.

Afterward, the rest of the teammates sliced off a chunk of the water wyvern's meat, pierced the water wyvern's meat into the barbecue stick, and cooked it on the campfire to create kebabs but too bad that there wasn't any vegetable available in the forest.

Also, Catherine had not brought her vegetable seeds so there weren't any vegetable contents in the kebabs that my teammates and I had cooked.

After the kebabs were cooked thoroughly, my teammates and I bit the kebabs at the same time and munched them to taste them.

"As I have expected... We are lacking one final secret and the most fundamental ingredient that mankind had used for generations."

Satomi spoke in a deep and solemn voice while expecting us to guess what the lacking ingredient was.

"It's salt, right? Don't make it sound too dramatic."

Distere replied while he joyfully ate the water wyvern meat barbecue.

My teammates and I except for Grace were enjoying the water wyvern meat barbecue while sharing our experiences in the monster solo battle incident.

[A Minute After Alex And His Teammates Defeated The Level 4000 Water Wyvern]

Axel's PoV:

After a minute I had witnessed the successful battle of the junior heroes against the level 4000 water wyvern, I separated from my teammates.

I was currently running in the forest in Monster's Abode at full speed while breaking the sound barrier and creating sonic booms which destroyed the surrounding trees in the process.

I was running on the ground and not jumping from tree to tree since it would cause the tree branches to snap if I landed on it at full speed.

The reason why I'm running in the forest at full speed without minding the damage that I had caused was because I needed to arrive at the Holy Church to meet up with Mathew.

Mathew had almost become a shut-in due to his [Universal Steal] cheat skill having a backlash that caused him to often have mental breakdowns.

I would often do the favor of knocking out Mathew whenever he had experienced a mental breakdown and I already had the permission to do so from Mathew before he experienced a mental breakdown.

Mathew was one of the most valuable assets is our team of heroes since he had the most valuable ability.

Also, Mathew was approachable and kind so it was a good thing that he was since I wouldn't want to be a big bully and rob him of the things he stole.

After a few minutes of running in the forest, I finally had arrived at the Holy Church.

My main reason for meeting up with Mathew was to ask him a favor to steal the rewards that I'm going to give towards the junior heroes as a reward for defeating the level 4000 water wyvern.

I admit that I'm arrogant, narcissistic, prideful, cocky, and other great qualities that I had but I am not a person who goes back on his word.
