Primordial Draconic Incubus With A Gourmet Chef System

Garrett could not help but smirk as he watched the reactions of his party members.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He felt justified. At the same time, his brown cheeks slightly reddened from embarrassment.

'Did I also react that way?'

While Garrett was lost in his thoughts, Hervy was the first to wake up from his shock. Without hesitation, he grabbed a knife and spoon, cut a piece of poached egg, and shoved it into his mouth.

The moment the velvety egg yolk touched his tongue, his eyes widened in astonishment. The burst of flavors was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life. Each ingredient perfectly harmonized with each other. He felt as if a symphony was occurring in his mouth.

After swallowing, Hervy was unable to contain himself and let out a low moan of pleasure, waking everyone up from their daze.

Unconsciously, Hervy muttered:

"This… is even better than sex!"

"..." As soon as Hervy's words registered in their brains, they were shocked.

Lucian remained indifferent, though inwardly, he was doubtful regarding the white-robed man's claim.

Even though Lucian was a virgin, surely sex was better than a simple plate of Siren's Melody Poached Egg. When he had tried it earlier, he felt the taste was no different than Mana Soil.

However, the members of Lion's Liver felt the world was about to end.

"Lane, I think someone replaced Hervy with an imposter," Garrett muttered, shocked. Other than Hervy being an imposter, there was no way that was Hervy. The Hervy that they knew spent his days embracing women.

The amount of money he had squandered at Pleasure Pavilion numbered in the tens of thousands of Low-Grade Mana Stones.

To him, nothing was comparable to sex!

Cody and Coby opened their eyes and used True Sight. A skill that enabled them to see things as they truly were.

In front of their True Sight, illusions, and deceptions would be meaningless. Even a Ghost possessing a body would be revealed to them.

After a moment, they looked at each other and saw the surprise on the other's face.

"He is-

"The real Hervy!"

They muttered in disbelief and then closed their eyes. Each time they opened their eyelids, it would cause considerable strain on their eyes. Using their eyes for a few seconds would be manageable, but anything above thirty seconds and they would feel a pain comparable to someone digging their eyes out of their sockets.

As Cody's and Coby's words rang out, their shock only increased further.

Soon, Lane, Cody, and Coby could not contain themselves. If even the sex-crazed idiot said the dish was better than sex, then they had to try it.

Simultaneously, they placed a spoonful of Siren's Melody Poached Egg into their mouths, and immediately their eyes lit up in excitement.

Their tastebuds were jumping in joy and asking for more, and they were more than happy to comply.

The taste was so different from the gruel they were used to eating at the Adventurer's Guild.

Although, they were not picky eaters and had grown used to eating brown sludge three times a day. Eating a real meal moved them to tears.

When Lucian saw the three patrons crying, he was internally speechless and started wondering if his palate was too high standard.

The System, which had remained silent and simply watching, spoke:

[Host, please do note you are someone who has even feasted upon the jewel of all meat - Dragon meat, To Mortals, a simple Siren's Melody Poached Egg is already the peak of culinary excellence.]

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Suddenly, the Mana in the air became agitated and crashed into the restaurant's walls.

Realizing what was happening, the System panicked. Even though the Mana was weak and could never damage the restaurant, trying to obstruct the Mana… even if it was accidental was the same as going against the Universe.

Hastily, it shouted:

[Host, quickly open the entrance and allow Mana to enter the restaurant!]

Lucian did not need the System's reminder. He was well aware of what was happening, and what could occur if Mana did not enter the restaurant.

Universal Punishment would descend on his head!

Any act of going against the Universe would lead to certain death… even if it was accidental.

Quickly, Lucian opened the door and allowed Mana, which had accumulated to the point of solidifying, from an invisible state to a gaseous whitish-yellow color in.

As soon as the door was opened, the Mana rushed into the restaurant and split into four streams before creating vortexes of Mana around Hervy, Lane, Cody, and Coby.

The sudden rush of Mana enveloping Hervy, Lane, Cody, and Coby, caused them to tense up. Briefly, their eyes widened in panic. They could feel the Mana attempting to penetrate their bodies. Normally, they would have been overjoyed at the prospect of increasing their Mage Rank. However, the Mana was too dense.

They were worried that once the Mana entered their bodies, it would destroy everything, leaving them crippled.

Noticing their concern, Garrett hurriedly advised:

"Don't worry about the Mana. Just do as I say. Hervy and Lane, let the Mana destroy your bones and use the excess Mana to rebuild new bones. Cody and Coby, you both do the same with your tendons. Destroy your tendons and rebuild them with Mana."

When they heard their Captain's words, momentarily they hesitated but decided to listen. After all, they would not have gotten this chance at breaking through if it had not been for their Captain. Above all, they knew their Captain would never try to harm them.

Lucian could not help but nod. He was impressed. Although Garrett was not the brightest tool in the shed, he learned from his experience when he broke through to Bone Tempering Realm.

The process of destroying and rebuilding was the correct method of advancing.

From Wang Chen's memories, Lucian understood that the inhabitants of Arcadia did not know how to best build their foundation in the early five stages of Body Refinement.
