Thanks to the strengthening magic supporting its huge body, each individual muscle fiber has tremendous tenacity, much superior to other living beings.
To prepare its meat, not only did you need an exceptionally sharp knife, able to cope with one's strength, but you need to have excellent chef skills and a deep knowledge of dragon meat.
Killing it of course isn't easy, but it's also very difficult to prepare. The [Dragon Empress] is such a complex ingredient.
Though I've been kept waiting, this is exactly as I'd hoped. (Anon: How's this edit?)
I'll give a piece of meat to the Sisters and ask them to cook.
Turning my hands into silver knives, I continued cutting the dragon into pieces.
As a result, I got a mountain of meat around 3000 kilograms.
And it was only a tiny part of the whole body.
As expected, cooking it like that does not work, so I chopped it smaller, and the 3-ton mountain became 60 smaller pieces.
All the same, the pieces were quite hefty, to the extent they looked even better.
So as I began cooking, I examined the results.
Even after spending a few days in a frozen block of ice magic, the meat still had a fresh, luscious, vital force, like jewels.
But no gem's shine is superior to dragon's meat.
Time would stop when viewing its luster; any foodie would give all he had, if only to sample the succulent meat.
Even I, if I had not been able to get this with my own hands, would've easily parted with any amount of money, just for the sake of a piece of it.
I put this magnificent meat on a big pan, using the natural environment to cook it.
The temperature of the pan was unusually high. Average meat would immediately burn and char, but dragon meat is warmed slowly.
The reason is that red dragons have an incredible resistance to heat.
First off, to cook the meat somewhere besides here would be incredibly difficult, since conventional logs are clearly not enough to create a hot enough flame.
Most likely you'd have to build some kind of device for this task.
Unfortunately, to slow roast it thoroughly will still take much time and effort.
I'd heard that when cooking meat and fish, sometimes it's better to cook on low heat so it retains more meaty juices.
Whether this is true, I'm not sure, but this attempt is likely to be convincing. Even if it doesn't work, I cannot imagine that the dragon meat will be disgusting (luckily, though briefly, I managed to try a raw piece during the battle).
We just kept it roasting over a slow fire.
Yet roasting dragon meat, feeling the delicious smell, you need to have incredible endurance to see it cooked thoroughly.
I somehow restrained myself initially, but after a while, one of my hands unconsciously reached for the meat - at the last moment I stopped myself, but after a while it happened again with the other hand. I didn't try to keep count after 10 attempts.
In the process of cooking, I truly realized the danger of this meat. Dependence on it will be more dangerous than the harm from any magical poison, its pull on one's cravings is just too much.
Trying to hold back, I even closed my eyes. But the effect was the opposite. The smell of meat awakens my instincts even more, and the hiss of meat juice excites my imagination.
I reflexively swallowed.
This meat without a doubt will be the most delicious I've ever eaten.
But I'm still going to roast the meat to the very end, in the magic pan, then serve with white rice on a large plate, the latter of which came from outside the dungeon.
By doing so, the dish began to look even tastier; my saliva is overflowing.
