Chapter 223
223: Wow, This Is a Healer? (1)
* * *
Is this what it would look like if Calamity itself descended upon the world?
The falling star that plummeted from the heavens pierced through the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought’s head like a ravenous maw devouring its prey.
A massive shockwave rippled through the air, and when that impact finally reached the ground, the entire earth trembled as though an earthquake had struck.
Crrrrraaaaahhhhh——
The ground quivered minutely, and the colossal form of the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought—or what remained of it—plummeted downward. The falling star had obliterated its entire head, leaving barely a trace of what had once been there.
The head alone had comprised roughly one-fifth of its massive body, and that portion—more than ten meters of solid, impenetrable armor—had been utterly annihilated in a single blow.
The power was so overwhelming that I should have been sent flying by the shockwave, yet I remained unmoved, my gaze fixed upon the spectacle before me.
Kuuuuuuuung!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaa——!!!
The Lawless Fleet Dreadnought’s massive body crashed to the ground, and a vast cloud of dust rose up, spreading outward in all directions like a violent sandstorm.
Every member of the Attack Party watched in shock as that wave of dust and debris came rushing toward them.
“…What is that….”
“…Can a single individual really unleash such power….”
“Is this the kind of force a C-rank can produce?”
“…Huh.”
“…I never thought I’d witness such a technique outside of B-Rank Seniors.”
Everyone gathered here, aside from Dohyun’s Party and Baeryujin, belonged to the Superior Race. Even they had never imagined witnessing power of such magnitude—something they’d only seen from those of higher rank than themselves.
Toward Dohyun, the one who had single-handedly created this display, they found themselves unconsciously swallowing hard.
And in that moment, it was decided.
“Our Attack Party’s strongest member is Dohyun…, or rather, Suhyun.”
“It seems difficult to surpass Suhyun.”
“Until recently, he was on par with me, but this growth rate is truly astounding.”
Hezway, Jerome, and Ines spoke thus while gazing at Dohyun in admiration, and both Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement as they observed him.
Previously, I might have worried that Dohyun would leave us behind, but neither of us felt that way.
“Those monster bastards—insights are sprouting from them like weeds.”
Baeryujin spoke thus upon seeing the brilliant light in Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s eyes. Yet even as he said this, Baeryujin’s smile never faded.
His three disciples were thriving, and there was no reason not to be pleased. Especially.
‘That Dohyun is truly a monster.’
The form of Calamity he had just displayed might be something Dohyun himself didn’t fully comprehend, but it was one of the most crucial things for Hanalin and Jiyuchan right now.
Manifesting the form of Calamity in the world was no different from revealing one’s inner truth to the world itself. And in doing so, he had cleanly resolved the very dilemma that had been troubling Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
Dohyun blazed the trail and moved forward, while Hanalin and Jiyuchan followed in his footsteps, guided along the righteous path, advancing faster than anyone else.
For this reason, Baeryujin looked upon Hezway and Vera, who were called the Golden Generation, and reflected.
‘Focusing solely on Hwang Hana would have been insufficient, yet instead, their many talents became a poison. In contrast.’
Both Hanalin and Jiyuchan possessed talents superior to anyone else in their respective domains—magic and martial arts. Because of this, they could have expanded into other fields.
Hezway, though a Healer, had trained in spear-throwing to wield the power of a ranged dealer, and Vera, who cultivated both Enchantment and magic.
Like those two, Hanalin could have learned Enchantment or mastered another technique. And Jiyuchan as well—with his boundless talent in martial arts, he too could have cultivated other skills alongside his martial training. Yet neither of them did.
And the reason for that was Dohyun.
Even if Hanalin alone delved deeper, she could never surpass Dohyun—so how could anyone afford to divert their attention elsewhere? Hanalin alone found it overwhelming just to keep pace with Dohyun, making it utterly impossible.
And Dohyun felt the same way.
‘By observing the areas where both of them struggle, I gain insights and the strength to push forward even further.’
That was why Baeryujin was certain that the Dohyun Party exerted an exceptionally positive influence on one another. Truly, they were all monsters.
And Baeryujin smirked as he watched Hezway and Vera, those called the Golden Generation.
The way both of them gazed at Dohyun with sparkling eyes was unmistakable.
‘This generation of humanity will survive for a long time. Or perhaps….’
They might even be promoted to a new Superior Race.
As Baeryujin entertained such thoughts, he watched the distant corpse of the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought gradually fade away and spoke.
“We should head over soon. If we’re late, that greedy fellow might claim everything.”
At Baeryujin’s words, everyone’s expressions shifted to alarm, and they hurried toward where Dohyun was. The fastest among them were Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
Watching them rush forward not to secure their own shares but to stop Dohyun, Baeryujin chuckled contentedly and murmured.
“They’re certainly an amusing bunch.”
* * *
Just as Baeryujin had expressed concern to the others, Dohyun had not preemptively claimed the items the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought was dropping. Or to be more precise.
“Ugh, I’m dying. I need to collect the items….”
He simply couldn’t. The will was there, but his body felt so burdened that moving even a single finger was difficult. He lay sprawled out where the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought’s corpse had been, resting, but his condition was severe.
Dohyun’s left hand was barely half intact, his head was split open and bleeding, and the rest of his body wasn’t in much better shape.
Of course, thanks to the transcendent body that the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent had obtained through Fusion, he was gradually recovering—or rather, in this case, “regeneration” was the more fitting term.
However, perhaps because the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought’s explosion had been so devastatingly powerful, the regeneration wasn’t proceeding smoothly.
‘So… that’s why a Healer is necessary.’
Even Dohyun, who had questioned why a Healer was needed when his body regenerated on its own, could now understand the necessity through this experience.
Of course, part of the reason his wounds were so severe was because Dohyun had fought recklessly this time, but he found himself contemplating his future plans.
Right now, subjugating the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought as an Attack Party wasn’t particularly difficult.
If they pooled their strength and fought together, they could win without sustaining injuries. But they wouldn’t be operating within the Black Gate with this Attack Party forever.
So Dohyun couldn’t help but think.
‘If our Party is going to conduct raids on our own in the future… a Healer will be essential.’
No matter how exceptional Dohyun was, fighting while receiving heals from a Healer’s power was beyond his capacity. Even focusing solely on combat, using the form of Destruction that he’d just displayed was difficult.
So he thought that perhaps in the B-Rank Zone ahead, they might need to recruit a Healer.
As Dohyun entertained such thoughts, the letters of “Analysis” began to materialize before his eyes.
[You acquire a skill through Usurpation from the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought.]
‘Oh?’
Could there actually be a skill obtainable from the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought? Dohyun’s eyes gleamed at the sight. While the items the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought dropped had to be divided among the Attack Party members, what he obtained through Usurpation was entirely his own.
And it was a skill, no less!
As Dohyun waited with an expression full of anticipation, new letters soon appeared.
[You usurp the skill “Tidal Breath [A]” from the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought.]
[You fuse “Tidal Breath [A]” with the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent.]
[The Breath of the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent is liberated.]
[You acquire the caliber of the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought.]
[The Vessel absorbs the caliber of the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought.]
Though quite a few characters materialized before his eyes, Dohyun absorbed all the information instantly through Analysis, allowing him to comprehend everything at once.
And even without Analysis, Dohyun had begun to sense it himself—the imaginal world he called the inner “Vessel” was gradually expanding, and he could see Ruin’s Dragon Solvent breathing contentedly within that realm of consciousness.
Witnessing one of Ruin’s Dragon Solvent’s powers awakening—a force that had previously relied solely on roars—Dohyun couldn’t help but smile.
He hadn’t yet constructed an imaginal form.
Yet he realized that the five within his consciousness—Analysis, Fusion, Usurpation, Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, and Plague Lord—were already filling his inner vessel. In other words.
‘Those five can be considered my temporary imaginal form right now.’
They already existed within his consciousness. As Dohyun confirmed that he had thoroughly absorbed every last trace of Dreadnought through Usurpation, he noticed figures running toward him from a distance.
Seeing the Attack Party members rushing over, Dohyun let out a quiet laugh.
‘They’re coming to heal me.’
It had been grueling, but having such comrades made it bearable. Yet as Dohyun observed them, he caught something peculiar in Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s expressions.
Seeing Dohyun sprawled on the ground with injuries, they appeared startled—not the kind of shock one would have if they’d anticipated injuries, but something else. So why were they rushing over? As he watched, Hanalin and Jiyuchan spotted the items Dreadnought had scattered and came sprinting toward him at full speed.
‘These bastards!’
They were clearly rushing over out of fear he’d pocket the items first. What do they take me for! he thought, but then—
‘Hmm.’
If his body had been intact, he probably would have done the same, so he decided to stay quiet about it.
Besides, he could barely move a finger right now. Yet thanks to the faint Transcendence he’d obtained before, he remained conscious.
“D-Dohyun oppa!? A-Are you okay!?”
“Are you really okay!?”
Only then noticing Dohyun’s wounds, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan were startled and rushed toward him in panic.
Hanalin’s eyes trembled from the shock, while Jiyuchan’s normally rigid tone softened, his gaze filled with concern as he looked at Dohyun.
Before Dohyun could even muster the strength to speak, Hezway arrived moments later and let out a sigh upon seeing him.
“Such grievous wounds… Wait, I shall tend to you.”
As Hezway spoke, he observed Dohyun’s body already regenerating impossibly, but recognizing that healing took priority, he swiftly unleashed his restoration magic upon him.
The moment Hezway’s healing skill, Dawn’s Radiance [A], activated, Dohyun’s body began to restore itself as though time were reversing, and witnessing this, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan gasped in awe.
