Chapter 46 - Foodgasm

The feeling of death was rather interesting as he never truly die in the sense that he only died physical, spiritual, mentally yet his 'True Essence' and existence was still locked in the physical world where part of him exists. He'll return even if the concept of himself would allow him to return. Due to his skill acquired from analyzing and replicating the Phoenix did it allow him to Resurrection himself then would become vastly superior than the previous version and adapted to whatever killed him.

He was essentially doomsday yet the amount of time he can consecutively die does matter and affect the stability of his overall power. Frankly, the only way to truly defeat him at this point is to seal him. Of course, there are other ways of killing him since True Death still exists.

Erix couldn't use the still unless he dies therefore others can take advantage of it. At the moment, he doesn't feel any more anxiety thinking about facing even Guy Crimson and Milim. However, he can't speak for others like his kingdom.

That aside, after having teased Raven who was unfazed by it began to use her Soul-Self acting like a stand that she used as an extension of herself. She shrouded her fist with Darkness blasting Erix who held out his hand swallowing the darkness, finding that it had an eroding property that distorts space and time.

Erix evaded and evaded the attack swing, his polearms slicing and dispelling her attack that barely chipped his weapon since it doesn't have any conventional durability and wouldn't be destroyed unless he dies. Not to mention, Amaia regulated his Aura or Haki that increased it durability and sharpness base on his emission of Haki.

Having both True Demon Lord and True Dragon made his Haki even more powerful than regular one. He's swing slices through the ground destroying it while Raven evade dodging the attack having enough room for them to move through the arena.

Raven couldn't gain any opening and advantage when he's invulnerable to her Empath ability that was her best arsenal. Erix find her ability to be broken against other opponent who doesn't have the same resistance as he does since it essentially acts like Unique Skill Greed, which manipulates a person's greed to the point of even making them kill themselves and Raven's Empath runs deeper than simple greed.

The shockwaves of their attacks and blast collided in one another sending ripples through the air and space. Erix hardly felt tired while Raven was slowly growing exhausted since her physiology is still far from Erix.

Though, Erix didn't escape unscathed from her attack since he was careful to not kill nor give a lasting damage. Not that they could die in the Arena and earlier he died but the function of the arena didn't work on him because of his ability.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I think Erina just finished cooking." Erix had cuts and eroded patches of skin from her attack while Raven was unscathed yet exhausted from continuous use of her magic and power. Her mental state was on the verge of passing out while Erix held out his hand and reinvigorated her with his own magic surprising Raven.

"You're right, I got lost and almost got too emotional." Erix didn't say anything and nodded since if he told her it was fine then that would be dangerous at the current situation since he's unsure if trigon would be able to pinpoint their location but somewhat doubt it yet won't take any chances.

The two went towards Jean praising them in amazement when she saw Raven's Soul-Self where Erix joked that the two were like sisters with one being the day and the other the night. Erix was tempted to flirt with her but knew it would be awkward and held himself since she was too cute and innocent.

He saw a faint smile on Raven knowing that she was happy at the thought. Erix reverted into his concealed state and found Erina who called them to try her dishes hoping to have some critiques. They nodded following Erina and the moment they sat down at the kitchen table where the dishes were placed instantly got the indescribable rich aroma where Jean and even Raven shudder from the smell.

"Uhmm…Erix-san you're drooling." Erina pointed out while Erix ripped the drool since they can't blame him when the fragrant already felt like they were eating. In order to taste something, the tongue needs the nose as it is essential to properly taste something.

"Sorry, I can't help when the aroma alone makes me eager to taste it." The Nakiri heiress nodded and popped her chest.

"I'm glad to hear that, as someone from a prestigious Nakiri family who had been known for housing the best chefs across the country, it is obvious that my culinary skill is the best."

They awkwardly smile since the two excluding Erix don't know her family and only somewhat understand that she's from a family of chefs. If only they knew that it was difficult to even make anyone from the Nakiri family to cook for the richest person. Their skills in culinary are sought after by many and few experience it.

"Though, these ingredients are amaze where even without seasoning or long Preparation give out a tender and flavorful taste."

Erina said recalling a few hours ago where she experimented a bit and found the meat cooked way quicker and tasting it without any spices retains an amazing amount of fat and meat. When she tasted the spices that Erix provided it gave her an erotic reaction since it was beyond what her tongue used to taste and she already tasted all ingredients that her father forced her to do.

She appreciates the experience that Erix provided and cooking for them was a reasonable trade. It's not like her world has them and could pay large amounts of money to get them when those creatures can only be hunted in another world.

Everyone sat down and dug into their meal by cutting through the tender meat of a [ Blazing Thunder Buffalo ] seasoned by [ Grand Rock Salt ] obtained in Yggdrasil and Cardinal World, otherwise known as Central Axis World.

"Woah!? It's like cutting through butter!" Jean Grey exclaimed as the meat oozed juices and Raven also tried her best to remain calm but her eyes widened at how it felt. The preparation and cooking technique used by Erina was top class where only years of master could result in such an effect. Erina was happy hearing their compliment despite having constantly been praised for her life yet their words seem more genuine.

Erix clasped his hand, thanking the food and one of the few that his parents taught him. He showed his respect to everything that he kills unless their scum and the two western girls find it strange but somewhat knew that it was tradition.

"I didn't you're japanese? Actually now that I think about it, how come we can understand each other?" Erina asked, noticing the etiquette that Erix displayed and he nodded.

"Yes, before I was Demon, I was human and had human parents. They died long after I've reached my adolescence and continue to honor them through their lessons that they taught me." They become curious at his words and Jean Grey said.

"Sorry to hear that." She was saddened to hear that he was an orphan and he shrugged it off and said.

"It's fine they've done their all after they pass away. As for your question, Erina, I think it's a perk from the chat group. Anyway, let's dig in before it gets cold."

They nodded as everyone took a slice and place it into their mouth and the moment it touched their tongue and chew it where the juice gushes instantly caused their eyes to widen where the meat was extremely tender and juicy where the blend of spices made their mouth chew even more where every movement produces more flavor.

"Ah~" It was like their body was stripped naked and couldn't help letting out a small moan where Erina had the same reaction despite having taken a bite earlier.

"Amazing! I never ate something like this before!!" Jean Grey remarked as she cut ones again and took another bite while Raven was silently enjoying the meal and Erix chewed it slowly appreciating the flavor.
