After witnessing the chef's life once more, Kieran waited patiently.
He didn't believe the so-called 'legacy' would be this simple.
Everything was as Kieran expected. After the movie-like scene ended, the unusually familiar knowledge transfer started.
It was similar to learning and leveling up skills in the big city.
But it was slightly different.
Back in the big city, because of the system's support, the whole process was more delicate and gentle, but here, without the system's support, the whole process was rough and painful, as if someone was punching his head repeatedly, the heavy pain was unbearable for a common man.
However, for Kieran, whose Constitution was at III and Spirit was at V-, the pain was nothing. The only discomfort he felt was a single breath and he got used to it.
Even though the heavy pain was getting stronger as time passed, it was still the same.
The trouble it caused was still within Kieran's acceptable range.
From what he saw and heard in that era to the basics of cooking, to the individual realizations, the knowledge flowed into his mind bit by bit, Kieran's body instinctively adapted to the new knowledge.
The knowledge he received was related to the ancient language.
Kieran wasn't surprised at all.
In fact, after understanding the legendary era, Kieran had quite a few speculations. It could even be said that he accepted the 'legacy' because of the ancient language knowledge that allowed him to decipher the Index of Eat.
Everything was developing according to Kieran's expectations.
However, just when the ancient language knowledge was about to be transferred to Kieran …
Kak!
A crack suddenly appeared on the scarlet crystal.
A scorching aura spread out as the crack appeared, as if it was a natural enemy. The moment it appeared, the scorching aura threw itself at Kieran.
Unfortunately, Kieran's powerful Constitution and [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance] allowed him to escape unscathed.
Like a cool breeze, the scorching aura instantly dissipated.
However, the changes were far from over.
A figure covered in flames appeared in the dark wilderness with a strange laugh.
The place was boundless.
This place was desolate and despairing.
"I've finally escaped from this cage!"
"It's perfect!"
"This place really suits me, the Flaming Devil!"
"I will be reborn here!"
"I will return to the human world!"
As the figure shouted excitedly, the raging flames rose to a height of two to three meters. However, in the next moment, a different kind of light enveloped the raging flames.
This was …
The flames were even hotter and more dazzling.
A huge, six-meter-tall figure made entirely of magma enveloped the flaming figure.
The excited cries of the flaming figure came to an abrupt halt. It turned around in a daze, mouth agape as its eyes stared blankly at the demon that did not belong to the human world.
"Who are you?!"
"How can there be a demon in a human's heart?!"
"Illusion!"
"It must be an illusion!"
Amidst the roar of disbelief, all he got in return was a punch. Unable to put up any resistance at all, the fiery figure was crushed into a large patch of flames.
Then, the tall devil opened his mouth and sucked.
More than half of the flames entered the mouth of the tall Devil and merged with the body of lava, becoming inseparable.
The remaining half of the flames gathered into a ball and flashed away like a meteor.
It didn't chase after it.
It didn't need to.
That bastard ran!
The devil widened its ferocious mouth and laughed heavily before vanishing.
…
The waves surged endlessly.
The flaming figure fell down like a meteor, standing on top of the cliff in silence.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
All of a sudden, the flaming figure, which had lost half of its power, fell into an unknown state of confusion.
However, it quickly pulled itself together.
"I am the Flaming Devil!"
"I just broke free from the seal!"
"I found a new parasite!"
"Although there are some twists and turns, I will return to the human world!"
The last sentence turned into a loud roar, echoing above the cliff. The seawater below seemed to be responding to the flaming figure, rolling up a huge wave and crashing into the cliff, turning it into a white spray.
The flaming figure looked at the rumbling spray and the cliff under its feet, its strange laughter sounded again.
"A cliff in the middle of the sea?
What a proud and lonely heart! "
"Just now, it must be some kind of protection spell, this is your real spiritual space!"
"Then …"
"I won't be polite and accept it!"
The flame rose up again and swiftly engulfed the cliff under its feet. It wanted to burn the cliff and replace it.
However, something that made it extremely terrified happened!
The flame engulfed the cliff and burned it, but not only did it not burn the seemingly normal cliff, instead, it transformed into a special energy and started to counterattack the flaming figure!
The most terrifying thing was, the counterattack wasn't the flame but an unknown sharp energy, sharp as a blade!
It wasn't just cutting its body, it was cutting its origin as well!
It couldn't continue anymore!
If it continued …
It would die!
The fear of death made the flaming figure fly up into the air. It thought it wouldn't be attacked by the strange energy if it was further away from the cliff.
However, even though it flew up into the air, the strange energy still followed it like a shadow.
Even though it flew higher and further away, it was the same.
It felt like there wasn't any distance restriction!
It leaped through space and landed on the flaming figure's body!
It frightened the flaming figure even more.
It flew faster and faster and soon, it vanished from sight.
Huu!
As the flaming figure vanished, the flames on the cliff were extinguished. The armored Knight looked at the direction where the flaming figure disappeared and sighed in pity.
"Good luck."
He said so.
However, the flaming figure didn't receive any blessings.
Naturally, it couldn't receive any blessings.
So, when he was exhausted from flying, the flaming figure saw the three doors.
There were three doors with completely different appearances.
The one in the middle had a black base with golden engravings and a dragon-shaped handle carved out of black crystal. It looked very luxurious.
The one on the left was a lot more normal. Although it was also black, it was made of common wood and snoring sounds came from inside.
The one on the right was a lot more broken. Although it was also black, the wooden door was full of holes as if it was gnawed by something.
"Was that a secret protection spell just now as well?
Even this place! "
The scarred flaming figure sized up the surroundings that had turned pitch-black following the appearance of the three doors. Then, he let out a cold laugh.
"You think I'll back off?
The more protection it has, the more valuable this body is!
"This body is mine!"
As though it was making a vow, the flaming figure looked at the three doors again after it finished.
It seemed like the protection spell was different from the ones it had encountered before.
It had to choose one out of three.
If it was right, it would pass.
If it made the wrong choice …
The flaming figure shook its head when it felt that its body couldn't bear the heavy burden.
How could it fail?
It had a secret technique to deal with the situation before it!
Unlike the previous two times when it was caught off guard, this time, it was given enough time to prepare.
"And this will be your greatest mistake!"
It will also be the start of me turning the situation around! "
The flaming figure took a deep breath, raised his hand, and a stick made entirely of flames flew into the air. Then, it spun and fell to the ground. After bouncing a few times, it pointed steadily at the dilapidated door.
"As expected, the exit should be in this place!"
The flaming figure confidently walked up to the door and pushed it open with one hand.
The darkness inside the room was much deeper than the darkness outside.
Even its flames couldn't bring any light to the room.
Bang!
The door behind it was slammed shut after it entered the room.
However, the flaming figure didn't care about it.
This was because the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard in its ears.
It wasn't the common kind of swallowing sounds, but after holding it in for a long time and secreting enough saliva in its mouth, it swallowed all at once.
It was like a ferocious beast hiding its presence after seeing its prey, quietly waiting for the prey to approach before pouncing on it.
A never before felt bad feeling rose in the flaming figure's heart.
It wanted to return to the sealed land.
…
Kieran watched everything coldly. He wasn't surprised by the appearance of the so-called Flaming Devil.
Whether it was the scene that the phantom figure demonstrated or the scene that he just saw, there were monsters that were far more powerful than one could imagine and two types of burning monsters.
Of course, Kieran wouldn't believe what the phantom figure demonstrated and what he just saw.
Kieran always held a skeptical attitude towards unfamiliar things.
Not just what he heard, but what he saw as well.
He would never believe what he saw at first glance and things that hadn't gone through the test of time and hardship.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Kieran didn't believe that the monster was sealed in E Block cafeteria.
Similar to how he didn't believe the [Inheritance Crystal (Broken)] in his hand was that simple.
Kieran switched from holding the [Inheritance Crystal (Broken)] with his index finger and thumb to his left hand.
The Devil Force was instantly poured into the crystal.
He didn't just want to seal off the monster's retreat.
He wanted to burn the monster to ashes.
Did the monster really think his heart could be easily entered?
If he didn't leave his life behind, wouldn't it be too cheap?
Huuu!
Devil Flame spread in his hand.
Begging for mercy sounded in his ears.
The Inheritance Crystal started to crack rapidly and the begging got louder.
In the end, everything stopped abruptly.
All that was left was the sound of Gluttony wiping his mouth in joy.
All that was left was the excitement of lines of words appearing before his eyes.

…
The burning sensation spread from the right side of his heart to his whole body. The Devil Force's devouring, Saint Thorns' slashing, and finally Gluttony's devouring, all of it transformed into a single boost.
A tiny flame appeared before Kieran's eyes out of thin air following his thought.
From a tiny flame, it grew to the size of a basketball and vanished with Kieran's thought.
It wasn't that it couldn't grow bigger, it was just that the location wasn't suitable.
Kieran didn't want to display his power to his heart's content under other people's gazes.
However, when his eyes glanced over the Musou level [Devil Burning], he couldn't help but grin.
It was a pleasant surprise for him that he could level up [Devil Burning] in this dungeon world. It could even be said that the reward from this dungeon world was comparable to any other dungeon world. Even if Kieran had to leave this dungeon world, Kieran would be willing to do so.
No one knew better than him how powerful [Devil Burning] was.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been his strongest attack for such a long period of time.
Of course, his rewards weren't just limited to that.

…
The Ancient Language Knowledge appeared in Kieran's skill tab as expected and the [Inheritance Crystal (Break)] in his hand was completely shattered into dust.
Kieran never made promises easily.
Because he was a man of his word.
If he said he would destroy you, he would destroy you.
