A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 1351: Burning Legion, Prepare For Battle!

“Boss, from today onward, you are the King of Prawns on the Demon Islands,” Tony said as he stood up with an admiring expression after eating three crayfish and drinking two big mugs of beer. His eyes were glistening as if he was looking at a beautiful young lady.

“Mm?” Mag furrowed his brows as he was wary about Tony’s “gayish” gaze.

“I am Tony Moody, an unknown food connoisseur. After eating your crayfish today, I’ve decided to write a story about you and your crayfish. May I know, would you like to cooperate with me?” Tony explained with a smile.

Tony was rather confident with his name. On the Demon Islands, the restaurants and delicacies would be in vogue whenever he critiqued on them. It would bring the chef and restaurant fame and money.

“Just as I expected,” Mag said. He had guessed correctly. This demon was indeed a food critic. However, he had neither the time nor interest to accommodate his work. He nonchalantly said, “The story between me and crayfish? Could there be any special relationship between the executioner and the death roll prisoners?”

“Errr…” Tony was stunned. This was the first time he had heard about such an innovative description. However, on second thought, the relationship between a chef who killed crayfish for a living and crayfish really resembled one between the executioner and death row prisoners.

“No… I just want to know why you use such an unusual method to cook crayfish? It totally subverted the usual methods of cooking seafood and made the seafood taste different. For example, the minced garlic, the thirteen-spice, and this spicy crayfish. How do you come up with such unique ideas?” Tony shook his head as he realized Mag had skewed the question.

Mag threw a glance at Tony, and calmly said, “Maybe you don’t know seafood very well. All these were just normal operations.”

“I…”

Tony choked. As a connoisseur who was known for knowing seafood the best, he was told off in public for not knowing seafood well. This was really an aggrieved feeling.

Mag didn’t continue to chitchat with Tony. He placed the crayfish in the wok, and wandered in between three woks with a giant ladle. Although he could manage them well, he didn’t have the extra room to talk to the customers.

“Sit down, sit down. We’ve to rein it in even when we’re unconvinced in front of the real master chef.” Steve pressed Tony down back onto his seat. He couldn’t control his laughter. As long-time friends with Tony, he knew how proud the latter was of his nickname. He felt so thrilled watching him suffer a defeat, and couldn’t wait to tell their common friends.

Tony sat down, and complained, “He could only say that I don’t know prawns well. How could he say I don’t know seafood. This isn’t a reasonable deduction.”

Before eating the crayfish, the number one prawn in his heart was Phi Phi Island’s king mantis shrimp. But in actuality, the crayfish were the real overlord of the prawns.

But if they were talking about other seafood, he didn’t believe others would know more or have tried more than him.

“Never mind. Geniuses all have their quirks. It will be my treat today. We’ve not seen each other for over a year, let’s get drunk tonight.” Steve slapped his back and chuckled before calling Jane over to order a few more crayfish and beer.

“That’s right too.” Tony threw a glance at Mag. This demon with a pair of pincers on his head was indeed a genius chef. The innovative cooking methods and tastes had torn a gap in his wall of understanding toward seafood. Never mind about his bad temper; he had lost all his temper after eating this crayfish, after all.

“Steve, I think you have saved my professional career again. If I really wrote about the porcupine battle boar’s roast pork trotters, the readers would call me a scammer after they tasted it for themselves. But, writing about the crayfish would be the classic page on my professional career…” Tony said as he supported Steve, who was stumbling.

“W-we are buddies. How can I forget about you when I have eaten good food…”

The beer’s alcoholic content wasn’t high, but it was still much higher than that of most alcoholic drinks in this world. They would still get drunk after having too many mugs of it.

Hence, those demons who were drinking beer and eating crayfish had to help each other walk away in laughter after the meal was over. Sounds of laughter reverberated throughout the alleys.

Mag smiled as he watched that. As expected, everybody behaved in the same manner after they had their supper and alcohol regardless where they were.

“Boss, we seemed to have a situation. Why is the island on fire?”

A simple wooden boat that was pieced together with big chunks of wood approached a small island slowly. Kiel was standing at the head of the ship, looking out at the island. Flames were lit up on the island as if something was burning. They could even hear shouts and sounds of fighting vaguely.

“It’s those flaming demon bastards. They had found our hiding place. We’d already given in so much, and they still wouldn’t let us off.” Sargeras looked at the flames with fury on his face, and he raised his iron club that was as tall as a man above his head. The lava on his body began to redden and flow as he roared, “Burning Legion, prepare for battle!”

“Woah!”

The dozens of lava demons replied at the same time, and the cracks on their bodies had lava flowing in between them. They seemed to be wearing golden-red armor in the dark.

The fierce fights were taking place throughout the island. Although most of the lava demons who were stationed in their territories were the old and weak, they had displayed a scary determination and tough will against the flaming demons’ sudden attack.

An 8th-tier flaming demon commander stood on an elevated rock. The burning flames on his body lit up his sneering face, and he shouted, “Kill them! How dare these lowly lava demons rank equally with us, flaming demons.”

The flaming demons had been hunting and killing lava demons. Finally, they had located this secret base in the fog at the periphery of the Demon Islands.

The lava demons were already very weak now. Apparently, they didn’t even have a 6th-tier lava demon. The powerful existence that was once ranked amongst the Top Ten Demon Tribes couldn’t even compare to some weak tribes now, let alone to the flaming demons at their peak.

Therefore, they were going to exterminate the lava demons completely tonight, and forever erase this fire-type demon race that once ranked over the flaming demons from existence.

“Find the Holy Lava Order. If we found it, our tribe’s status would rise to another level.” That commander looked at those lava demons who were struggling very hard but had no power to resist the attack. The information was indeed correct. It was a weak tribe that didn’t even have a 6th-tier member.

Right at this moment, a panicked voice said behind the commander, “My lord, our ships are burnt!”

“Huh?”

That commander was stunned. He turned his head, and saw their wooden ships docked at the harbor were engulfed in flames.

What made his face go even whiter was the meteor that was hurtling toward them from the sky, dragging a long red tail behind it.
