The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 332

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟑𝟐: 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 2

Unification of the continent was also the empire’s aspiration.

Despite their immense imperial power, they could not become the continent’s overlords.

The neighboring countries surrounding them checked each other’s growth, allying with each other.

This continent should not have a master.

The kings of neighboring countries, who hated the balance being tipped to one side, continued to hinder the empire’s growth.

In fact, there had never been a king who had unified the entire region on this continent.

When one nation grew strong, the kings of other nations joined forces to block it.

For hundreds of years, dozens of nations and various tribes with the power of nations had been watching each other.

However, the balance of power was broken only once.

The Dragon Slayer, the Thunder Emperor.

A monster who suddenly appeared and scorched the continent at the speed of thunder.

With his appearance, the continent had no peace for about a hundred years.

No one could have known that this vast land would be dominated by a single person.

Numerous tribes that even kingdoms could not easily touch were completely defeated by the Thunder Emperor and came under his command.

The surrounding kingdoms, which were scattered like fragments, gradually lost their momentum.

In the end, the continent’s first union was formed, and it became the current empire.

Of course, after Siwoo returned to Earth, the empire’s territorial expansion also came to an end.

“The armor looks a little different?”

Siwoo ordered the armor he had worn on the battlefield when he was called Thunder Emperor to be brought to him.

An item made by mixing the strongest metal in the other world with the scales of the first dragon he had caught.

However, the magic power flowing out of it was different, and its appearance had changed a little.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I heard that every time you caught a dragon, you added its scales to the armor. It was personally crafted and polished by a dwarven craftsman, and it has now become a treasure no one can rival on the continent.”

Siwoo had mostly only worn the armor on battlefields for the purpose of creating the empire, and he had not worn the armor for his ‘personal errands’ of hunting dragons later on.

Therefore, he did not know how the armor had been upgraded after that.

“Really? But why hasn’t anyone been using it?”

“That’s right!”

“Why? Kikl, you’re not using it either.”

At Siwoo’s words, Kikl responded with a look of bewilderment.

“No, Your Majesty. I cannot wear Your Majesty’s armor. Also, the dwarven craftsman said that not just anyone can wear it.”

“Hmm. . . I see. But how do I wear this?”

Siwoo, who had been examining it closely, realized that there were no seams or detachable parts in the armor.

It was literally made as a whole.

“Well, I don’t know the details, but I heard that you have to prove the power of the ‘Dragon Slayer’ who caught the dragon.”

“The power of the Dragon Slayer?”

Siwoo frowned slightly.

━’𝘐𝘧 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯. 𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.’━

The only being who could be called a craftsman among the hundreds of dwarves.

The leader of the dwarves was different, but the most respected and top-ranked person was the master craftsman ‘Gelphka’.

━’𝘐𝘧 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘎𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘬𝘢, 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘭𝘺. 𝘛𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳. . . .’━

Siwoo first put his hand on the armor.

There was no change.

This time, he slowly exhaled magic power.

The cool energy flowing from his dantian touched the armor.

“No.”

However, the armor still showed no reaction.

“W-What’s going on. . . . Your Majesty, I will call Gelphka!”

“No, it’s okay. Do you think he’ll come if we call him?”

Siwoo thought of that stubborn, eccentric old man.

Unlike the flames that bloomed every time he hammered iron, he was a bachelor who had abandoned his wife and children and lived in the blacksmith’s quarters his entire life.

He was a free spirit who didn’t listen to royal or imperial orders.

Even if he was called and asked for an explanation,

━Hey! It’s not my fault that the armor doesn’t react. It’s because the Dragon Slayer’s power is insufficient. Also, when you buy a kitchen knife, you don’t call the blacksmith because the cooking doesn’t go as you want! Come and see me next time, Your Majesty!

It was obvious that he would say something like that.

In fact, there had been a few similar situations in the past, and each time, the loyalists had suggested punishing the dwarf.

Siwoo liked that kind of personality, so he laughed it off.

“Then, could this be it?”

He withdrew his magic power and opened his core this time.

A coldness that chilled him to the bone swept through his body.

Siwoo gathered the power of ether in his palm and brought it to the armor.

Woooong.

At that moment, the armor, which had reacted to the ether, disassembled into pieces and reassembled itself to fit Siwoo’s body.

“Ooooo. . . .”

“As expected, Your Majesty!”

“You can really handle it!”

Those around him could not hide their astonishment when Siwoo put on the armor.

The armor, which was known to be unworn by anyone other than the ‘Dragon Slayer’, had returned to its master’s embrace too easily.

“Ha, this is good.”

Siwoo clenched and unclenched his fingers, looking satisfied.

The solid and heavy-looking jet-black armor was as light as if he were wearing nothing.

Even so, it surrounded him from head to toe, exuding an overwhelming aura and momentum, its majesty like that of an ancient dragon.

The Dragonoid Clan had unknown tears in their eyes from his aura, and the other races could not even straighten their backs.

“I, I brought the sword.”

At that moment, two members of the Dragonoid Clan came running with the weapon Siwoo often used.

The Thunder Emperor’s Dragon Slayer Sword.

“This is different too.”

Siwoo muttered as he held the sword, which was too heavy for even two members of the Dragonoid Clan to carry, in one hand.

In fact, Siwoo had never killed a dragon with this sword.

The reason it was called the Dragon Slayer Sword was not because it had killed a dragon with this weapon, but because this sword was made from the byproducts of a dead dragon.

“Yes, that’s right. It is said that it must match the armor. . . . Your Majesty, Gelphka made it using the ‘last black dragon’ you caught.”

“Ah. . . That black dragon at that time. But did you know that I killed it? How did you know?”

Siwoo asked Kikl, looking curious.

It was the Black Dragon that he had fought in his last battle on the continent.

Originally, after killing a dragon, a big feast should have been held, and the news of his bravery should have spread throughout the empire and the entire continent, but at that time, Siwoo had returned to Earth as soon as he killed the dragon.

Siwoo’s purpose from the beginning was to return, and he did not want to waste time in a situation where that purpose could be fulfilled.

Therefore, no one could have known who killed the dragon.

However, Kikl looked at Siwoo with a very embarrassed look and opened her mouth hesitantly.

“Th. . . On this continent, there is no one who can kill a black dragon. . . . Even if they did, they wouldn’t have thrown away its body like trash. If you sell all the byproducts of a dragon, it’s more than the empire’s budget for a year.”

Who would kill a black dragon and only take its heart?

Moreover, according to the investigators sent by the 〈Imperial Mage Corps of the Empire〉, the battle was a one-on-one fight between the black dragon and another being.

To catch such an ancient dragon, a nation’s knights, magic corps, and famous warriors must all be deployed.

If it was composed only of skilled people like Kikl, Rinoa, Tirkan, Arkhael, and Sopinelr, it might be possible against a lower-level ancient dragon.

“Your Majesty is not called the ‘Dragon Slayer’ on the entire continent for nothing. You have caught seven dragons, which are difficult for a warrior to catch even once in their lifetime. . . .”

The seven dragons Siwoo caught were all ancient dragons.

That was why the various kingdoms of the continent had no choice but to bow to the empire.

“What’s so great about that? Kikl, you can catch it if you try.”

“I don’t think so. . . .”

Siwoo patted Kikl’s shoulder, and the middle-aged knight looked nervous.

“Let’s see what kind of tricks they’ve played on this sword.”

Regardless, Siwoo poured the power of ether into the Dragon Slayer he had received.

Clang!!

The sword extended its sharp blade long like a blooming flower.

“Thisㅡ It was made with the teeth of a black dragon.”

Siwoo chuckled.

If this were a living creature, it would have been strong enough to chew even a high-ranking person.

“Then, let’s go conquer the continent.”

“How many people. . .?”

“Just take the leaders of each tribe.”

“Then I will prepare the weapons.”

“Ah, no.”

Siwoo shook his hands hastily.

When Kikl looked at him with a look of incomprehension, Siwoo opened his mouth with a smile.

“I’ll be the only one fighting. You’re just going to be observers.”

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

The Demon King of the 2nd Realm and the Demon King of the 3rd Realm became anxious.

They had lost contact with their subordinates, and for some reason, they had heard that the main palace of the 1st Realm Demon King had been destroyed.

『What the hell is going on in the Demon Realm?』

『I don’t know. Have you not contacted the 1st Realm Demon King?』

The Demon King of the 3rd Realm, who had come to the residence of the Demon King of the 2nd Realm, asked anxiously.

『He hasn’t come yet. Has he died?』

『Who could have killed him. . .?』

The Demon King of the 2nd Realm could not answer her.

Although he had become significantly weaker than his prime, his opponent was the ‘Sword of Valhalla’.

It was not an opponent that could be killed just because someone wanted to kill it.

━’𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮. . . 𝘐𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 3𝘳𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘰𝘳 𝘒𝘳𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 4𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘵.’━

The 2nd Realm began to deduce various situations in his head.

『Could it be that the 1st Realm staged this whole thing?』

『Well. . . . The 1st Realm often does a lot of mischief.』

Creak.

At that moment, the door of the 2nd Realm’s residence opened and a being appeared.

『Kraken?! What happened to the 1st Realm Demon King?』

The greatest skilled person in the Demon Realm, wearing a hideous mask.

The Demon King of the 3rd Realm asked reflexively as she saw Kraken.

“. . . . . . .”

However, Kraken did not respond.

He just stared at the two Demon Kings with a calm gaze.

『3rd Realm, it’s him!!』

The Demon King of the 2nd Realm shouted urgently, judging that the momentum rising from Kraken was unusual.

In an instant, an enormous demonic energy surged up and shot towards Kraken like a sprint.

Kwagagagagagagagagaga!!!

The residence collapsed and the ground exploded.

『Kugh!! What are you doing, 2nd Realm!』

『The one who killed the 1st Realm is him! If it weren’t for me, you would have been dead already!』

『What. . .?!』

She gasped at the unexpected remark and turned her eyes to where Kraken had been standing.

It had already been transformed by the collapsed ceiling and overturned ground into a circle that was impossible to guess.

『Why would Krakenㅡ』

At that moment, a terrible pressure gripped the entire body of the Demon King of the 3rd Realm.

It was as if she had been swept away by a huge current and sucked deep into the sea, unable to move.

『Keheuk. . .!!』

The Demon King of the 3rd Realm was also a powerful being who had risen to her position with her skills, but it was difficult to withstand the terrible power that her opponent was pouring out.

Thud!!!

All the bones in her body twisted and shattered, and her muscles burst open.

She vomited blood foam from her mouth without even being able to scream.

『You. . . Bablehner?!』

The Demon King of the 2nd Realm found an unexpected figure where his power had surged.

Bablehner, known as the subordinate of the 4th realm Demon King, was looking at her with emotionless eyes.
