Chapter 251

[Item: Kamish’s Wrath (Damage)]

Difficulty to acquire: ??

Type: Dagger

Attack Power +1,500 (-1,000)

[This, this is such a precious treasure… …!]

[It’s damaged!]

The shadow dwarves who received ‘Kamish’s Wrath’ trembled in shock and fear.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment of excitement and a once-in-a-lifetime moment of regret.

[I never thought I would see a weapon made from dragon teeth in my lifetime!]

[I finally got to see this beautiful treasure after I died! It was a good thing I died! It’s an honor for my family!]

[But how many fierce battles must you have fought to make the blade so dull!]

The beards of the shadow dwarves stand on end as they chatter on without anyone saying anything.

It was truly creepy.

After all, for ordinary dwarves who weren’t even part of the Shadow Legion, creating something using dragon teeth as material would have been something only possible in fantasy.

First of all, where and how can one obtain dragon teeth?

Suddenly, a dragon passing by pulls out its fangs as if it were doing a good deed, and it doesn’t even have to be.

Perhaps the only time in their lives a dwarf can see a dragon’s teeth is right before they are eaten by the dragon.

However.

That ominous thing actually appeared before their eyes.

Even transformed into a well-made dagger.

[Khuh huh! That’s great! That’s great!]

[Even though the blade is this dull, the cutting power is this great! This is the dragon’s tooth… … !]

Kiek!

[The introduction is long!]

When Beru, unable to stand watching, shouted, the shadow dwarves finally came to their senses.

“So, can you fix it?”

When Suho asked again, they vied with each other to give their opinions.

[Of course!]

[If the blade becomes dull, just sharpen it again!]

[However, a dragon’s teeth can never be sharpened with an ordinary whetstone.]

[You need a solid whetstone!]

[Even if it’s not a whetstone, if you can bring me a material that’s harder than a dragon’s tooth, I’ll do my best to repair it!]

Suho’s expression became strange at their words. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“A whetstone harder than this? If there was something like that, wouldn’t it be okay to just fight with it?”

[Haha, that’s something I don’t know.]

[Just because something is hard doesn’t mean it can be made into a weapon.]

[Rather, the harder it is, the more likely it is to break. However, this dragon’s teeth are hard yet unbreakable, and are also made of a material with good mana sensitivity!]

At some point, the bearded dwarves began to noisily praise the dragon’s teeth again.

Beru clicked his tongue and advised.

[They are originally like this. They are always noisy, but they are a race of excellent blacksmiths who can make anything if given the time and materials. And if there is a material stronger than a dragon’s tooth, I know of one.]

Beru had been following Sung Jin-woo around for a long time, and had seen countless instances of the legion’s blacksmiths repairing Sung Jin-woo’s weapons and creating stronger ones.

“There is a material harder than a dragon’s teeth?”

[Yes, there are several, but the easiest to obtain right now is probably using dragon bones.]

“ah.”

If you think about it, it was a very simple principle.

Dragon teeth and bones are basically the same material.

If you use stronger bones depending on the area, it would be possible to resharpen the dulled blade of ‘Kamish’s Wrath’.

The shadow dwarves were delighted at those words.

[Oh! Master, you have dragon bones too?!]

[Wow, as expected! Our master is an amazing person!]

“No, not me, my mom has it.”

Suho, the unfilial son, suddenly became curious about his mother’s well-being after a long time. 1

* * *

A while later.

Paaaaat-

[The King of Demons, the Lord of Gluttony, enters the ‘Gate: Sea of the Afterlife’.]

Dark and sticky sky.

A vast ocean where darkness melts away.

With a splash.

A small raft was floated on top of it.

[Row!]

The shadow dwarf’s shout fell behind Esil’s back.

Then, the ten demons who were on the raft split into two groups and began to row vigorously.

Choaaaak-

As the raft began to move forward, cutting through the sticky black waters, the shadow dwarves cheered.

[Jooasser-! Success!]

The raft he built himself successfully set sail across the sea of the afterlife!

[King of Demons! You made a good decision in choosing the raft I built over that wretched boat.]

The shadow dwarf approached the captain of the ship, Esil, who was silently staring ahead, and began to flatter him. 1

I am more than happy that Esil chose her raft over the upgraded version, the ‘Ferry of the Afterlife’.

The shadow dwarf ground his teeth as he remembered his abominable kin who had built the boat solely to impress his master.

[In the short term, a rowboat may seem much more sturdy, but in the long term, it’s better to start with a raft. You’ll want to start with a wide bottom, so you can build a much larger ship later.]

“… … .”

[You are a quiet person, aren’t you?]

The shadow dwarf became embarrassed when he didn’t hear any response from Esil.

“… … .”

After entering the sea of the afterlife, Esil remained silent and just stared ahead.

and.

Phew- ha.

Take a deep breath and drink quietly.

‘Debuff: Death’

As expected.

The spirit of death flowing through the afterlife sea did not harm the demons at all, as Beru had said.

‘Really, I feel like I’ve come home.’

This sticky, ominous air was not ‘death’ to the demons.

Rather, it gave me a cozy feeling, as if I had returned to before I was born.

Not only Esil, but the ten demons who followed Esil also felt the same way.

But there is a fine line between ‘coziness’ and ‘distantness.’

Choaaaak-

This is the abyss.

Above the black waters where the raft passed, unidentifiable waves were appearing here and there.

The demons had already noticed that they had arrived here.

“Good.”

Only then did Esil smile.

The smile of the one who became the Demon King shone white in the abyss.

That moment.

Chomp chomp!

[They’re weeds!]

Along with the Shadow Dwarf’s flagship, numerous weeds rose from the sea, centered around the raft.

And then hideous tentacles shot out from all sides, grabbing the raft to snatch the demons away.

[These guys are trying to destroy the ship! Stop them!]

The shadow dwarves were furious, but the demons were in no hurry.

These are all survivors who survived the ordeal.

And Esil was their king.

“I confirmed that the ship is floating. So…”

Chook.

Esil raised one hand to the sky from the raft.

And he commanded.

“All demons, gather before me.”

The king of demons is here, and where the king is, there is the demon realm.

“The forces of hell.”

Pavabavabavabat-!

Hundreds of magic circles were created simultaneously around Esil’s raft, which had been attacked by weeds.

The magic circles forcibly twisted the dimensional rift and summoned all the demons who had sworn loyalty to the king into the sea of the afterlife.

Flash!

Through those gates, countless rafts appeared all at once.

Kigegegege-!

Rafts of the afterlife, each carrying ten demons.

The weeds, witnessing the amazing sight, cheered and shook their tentacles.

A deep, overwhelming hunger.

Weeds that cannot control their greed and extend their tentacles without hesitation.

It was natural.

No matter how many demons there are, are they more than the weeds here?

Besides, none of the demons looked that strong.

but.

It wasn’t just demons on the rafts.

One by one, the shadow dwarves that Suho sent along.

And also guards to protect them until the raft grows bigger.

Chwaaaak-!

The black shadows that had been crouching on the raft grew longer in all directions, and numerous, creaky legs rose from the ground.

A body as big as a house.

Dozens of eyes.

Ugly mouth.

A pair of huge pincers.

Its identity is none other than the boss mob that Suho had previously defeated and extracted from the Fang Lord’s Sanctuary.

‘Arachne the Grave Spider’

However, among the ones that Suho had rescued from the sea of the afterlife, there were many spirits of demons who were of the same species as that guy.

Even those that are much stronger than Arachne.

[Kurwaaaaak-!]

Choaaaak- Choaaaak Choaaaak!

Black spider webs spread out in all directions on the raft.

Like a net.

[Jooasser-! Gather all the materials! It’s self-sufficient!]

[The corner of the raft has been ripped off! Wrap the boat with spider webs!]

[As expected, it’s perfect as an adhesive!]

Thanks to that, only the shadow dwarves were happy.

The raft of demons that appeared on the vast ocean began to grow larger and larger.

* * *

The Tomb of the Mad Dragons.

In the middle of this dimensional gap, where gray ash was flying, the ribs of dragons who died during the war were buried on a relic scale.

“Chacha.”

Cha Hae-in, who had been sitting blankly on the huge keel, suddenly turned his head at the sound of Sirka’s voice calling him. 2

“I got a call from Suho.”

“From my son?”

Sarak.

A strange look appeared in Cha Hae-in’s eyes as he answered while sweeping back her messy hair. 1

[The King of the Snowmen, the Lord of the Cold, uses ‘Skill: Echo’.]

Sirka, a descendant of Silad, was able to communicate with dead monarchs through ‘prayer’.

But it was just a prayer, and its actual use was as a telephone that had a direct line to Suho.

[The King of the Snowmen, the Lord of the Cold, grumbles about the lack of courtesy towards his ancestors.] 1

“So anyway, Suho needs the keel here?”

“Hmm.”

Cha Hae-in and Sirka, who had received the full situation of Suho through Silad, looked around with slightly awkward expressions.

“Is this possible?”

“I know.”

The dragon bones, which had been left abandoned in this desolate land for a long time, had been greatly eroded by the aftermath of war and the ravages of time.

Perhaps even more so than the ‘Wrath of Kamish’ that Suho uses as a weapon.

If the goal was to sharpen the blade, it seemed that the bones on this side would be ground down first.

“Just in case, let’s try to find some bones that are as good as possible.”

“Okay. That’s good since I don’t have anything to do.”

The only reason Cha Hae-in and Sirka still remain in the Tomb of the Crazed Dragons is because of the recovery of the Shadow Dragon Kaisel. 1

Thanks to this, they were able to procure the necessary supplies outside the gate and enjoy some leisurely camping in them middle of this desolate dimension.

But camping is only possible if the view is good, in reality it was just sleeping outside.

Kkuuuuung-

At the sight of them suddenly getting up with enthusiasm, Kaisel, who had been curled up and sleeping next to them, also stretched out for the first time in a long while and spread his black wings wide.

But how big is it…

“uh?”

“oh.”

At that moment, Cha Hae-in and Sirka’s eyes sparkled.

Kaisel had grown enormously!

A curve was drawn at the corner of Cha Hae-in’s mouth.

“Then I guess I can carry it myself.”

It was decided that the gift to give to my son whom I am seeing for the first time in a long time would be a dragon that can fly.
