Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1362 A chef who can’t slay demons is not a good chef
After all, it is beyond imagination to ask a group of chefs who have been immersed in the kitchen world for a long time, accustomed to wielding kitchen knives to cook delicious food and carving exquisite dishes with their hands, to suddenly transform into warriors who charge into battle with weapons and fight against evil forces.

In their past understanding, the kitchen knife in their hands is a tool used to cut fresh ingredients into perfect shapes and carefully carve lifelike carvings, carrying the love and pursuit of food.

They never imagined that one day, these knives that accompanied them in creating delicious food in the kitchen would become the last line of defense to protect life and fight against evil.

Therefore, Luther deeply understood that if he wanted to realize his grand plan of transforming Totsuki Academy into a special academy to fight against demons and monsters, the most urgent task was to completely change the mindsets of these teachers and students, and let them clearly and deeply realize the huge crisis hidden in this seemingly peaceful but actually dangerous world.

Thus, on a night that seemed no different from any other, Totsuki Academy was quietly shrouded in a strange and depressing atmosphere.

The night was like thick ink, tightly wrapping the academy, without a single ray of moonlight penetrating.

The trees in the distance rustled in the breeze, as if whispering of impending doom.

In such silence, the key figures in the academy, including the Ten Greatest Students of Totsuki, Erina Nakiri, and the protagonist Soma Yukihira, were caught unprepared in an extremely horrific disaster - a sudden attack by demons and monsters.

These supernatural creatures looked like demons crawling out of the abyss of hell, their bodies twisted beyond human form.

Some have limbs that are too long and bent at strange angles; some have bloated bodies and seem to have countless wriggling creatures beneath their skin.

They exuded a disgusting smell all over their bodies, a mixture of stench and blood that permeated the air and made people feel nauseous.

They bared their teeth and claws, their sharp claws flashing cold light, their fangs exposed, and emitted bursts of low roars from their mouths, and pounced madly towards everyone in the academy.

For these teachers and students who are devoted to studying cooking skills and focusing on the world of food, such supernatural events should be extremely distant, like stories in legends, existing only in books and the stories of others.

Even though the resentful vampire monster had caused a bloody storm in Tokyo and thrown the city into chaos; even though the monster had razed countless buildings to the ground with its huge body and powerful destructive power, those horrific scenes seemed to be just distant rumors in their eyes, and had nothing to do with their day-to-day campus life.

However, the gears of fate turned relentlessly, and now, danger had truly descended upon them like a ghost.

At this moment, Erina Nakiri was alone in the academy's spacious and quiet library. The tall bookshelves around her were filled with all kinds of precious cooking books and materials.

She was holding a cookbook in her hand, concentrating on reading its contents, trying to find new cooking inspiration from it.

Suddenly, without any warning, a chilly and biting wind blew past, and the wind seemed to carry endless resentment.

In an instant, the entire library was plunged into pitch-black darkness.

Erina's heart suddenly tightened, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.

She subconsciously tried to stand up, but found her legs weak.

In the darkness, a hideous figure slowly emerged, emitting a dark red glow, and a pair of red eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, staring at Erina. Erina widened her eyes in horror and wanted to shout for help, but her throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible big hand. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound, and could only shout desperately in her heart.

At the same time, Soma Yukihira was immersed in the quiet time of practicing cooking alone in the academy kitchen late at night.

The kitchen was filled with the enticing aroma of food, the fire was burning, the vigorous flames licked the bottom of the pot, the dishes in the pot jumped happily under Soma's skillful stir-frying, making enticing sizzling sounds, and every flip made the ingredients emit a richer aroma.

Soma's eyes were focused, as if the only thing in the world was the pot in front of him and the ingredients in the pot that kept changing color. He was immersed in the rhythm of cooking, enjoying the pleasure of communicating with food.

At this seemingly beautiful moment, the kitchen window was shattered without warning by an unimaginably powerful force.

With a loud "crash", glass fragments flew everywhere like shotgun, flashing dangerous cold light under the dim light.

A huge claw suddenly stretched out from the window. The claw was as thick as an adult's arm and covered with black scales. Dark green mucus seemed to flow between the scales, emitting a disgusting smell.

The nails were as sharp as knives, flashing a cold light, and they grabbed at Soma fiercely, aiming directly at his throat.

Soma reacted extremely quickly. At the critical moment, using his agility developed over many years in the kitchen, he quickly grabbed the kitchen knife placed nearby.

The kitchen knife trembled slightly in his hands because his hands were shaking involuntarily.

Although he was full of courage, facing this sudden and unimaginable horrible monster, the instinctive reaction of human beings facing unknown fear made his body out of control. His legs trembled slightly and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

This attack was not just a simple intimidation, but a bloody and brutal disaster.

Amidst the chaos and panic, shrill screams pierced the night sky. Some unfortunate teachers and students died at the claws and fangs of demons and monsters, their lives disappearing in an instant like a candle in the wind.

Erina Nakiri was struggling on the brink of life and death. The monster in the darkness pounced on her again and again. She tried her best to dodge and was scratched in many places. Her clothes were stained with blood.

Finally, with the favor of fate, she escaped death, but her pale face was full of fear, her eyes showed deep confusion and helplessness, and her body and mind suffered tremendous trauma.

Soma Yukihira was in danger during the confrontation with the monster. The monster's claws almost blinded his eyes, and its sharp nails scratched his cheek, leaving a deep bloody mark.

Relying on his tenacious will and agile skills, he found a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation and barely escaped. However, he collapsed to the ground in shock, gasping for breath, with the kitchen knife still tightly held in his hand, the blade stained with the monster's slime and his own blood.

"What happened!"

Soma Yukihira realized that he had encountered a supernatural event, but he had previously thought that all this was very far away from him. But now he realized that these things were actually very close to him!
