Chapter 22: Chapter 22



When everything that could be done was done, all that remained was left to Kei. The crowd stood on the city wall, both anxious and full of anticipation.

They were prepared to flee at any moment, but in their hearts, they hoped that Kei could create a miracle!

"Whew!"

The Red Dragon flew above Axel, releasing a massive breath of fire that carried a heat capable of scorching the earth!

"Divine Shield!"

The nun immediately cast a shielding spell. A huge golden shield enveloped the sky, but as soon as the dragon's breath touched the shield, it melted right through!

"Huff, huff… The mana consumption is too severe. The shield's power can't withstand the might of the dragon's breath!"

The nun was in terrible condition. For some reason, the buff she tried to cast on Kei kept failing.

Her mana was exhausted, and only after consuming all of Wiz's potions was she able to successfully apply a single buff to Kei.

The flames broke through the shield and continued to descend. Just as everyone was about to jump off the city wall and run for their lives, Kei made his move!

"I've worked so hard! I've put in so much effort and sweat! All of this wasn't so I could be looked down upon by some damn lizard!"

Lightning crackled violently around Kei, fusing with sword energy to form a colossal golden holy sword!

"Max-level Sword Aura, Peak-level Substitute! Buffs maxed out, potions all taken! Let's see if this forty-meter-long greatsword can slice you in one blow!"

Under the various buffs and potions, Kei's strength had soared to its peak. With a max-level Flash Step, he instantly appeared in mid-air.

He swung his sword, slashing through the overwhelming flames. The gigantic golden sword tore through the sky!

"ROAR!"

The Red Dragon let out a blood-curdling scream as blood gushed from its neck, dyeing the ground crimson!

But the dragon's head wasn't completely severed! The golden sword was stuck in its neck, and the Red Dragon roared in agony, swinging its claws in a frenzied attack.

"So tough! As expected, a pure-blooded dragon is stronger than an average wyvern! Its meat is probably more delicious too!"

Having been a restaurant owner in the Gourmet World for so many years, Kei had picked up the bad habit of rating ingredients.

His shopping street even had a ranking list of delicious ingredients he personally created, which everyone highly respected.

"ROAR!"

The dragon's claw came swinging toward Kei, but a moment later, a golden figure appeared and sliced off the dragon's claw.

"I still have a substitute! Take another hit!"

Kei's substitute had the same combat power as him and operated on a different energy bar from his physical body.

Therefore, it could launch another full-power attack!

Two massive golden swords, one from the left and one from the right, simultaneously exerted force. Finally, the Red Dragon's neck was severed, resulting in a downpour of blood.

The Red Dragon's face was filled with unwillingness as it plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground and creating a massive crater!

'I was just out here to eat a few plump sheep! Why was there such a terrifying guy lying in wait for me?!'

That was the Red Dragon's final thought before death.

Kei landed on the ground. His energy was significantly depleted, but his spirits were incredibly high.

[Congratulations! You have defeated a powerful enemy. Your physical fitness has greatly improved, and your mental power has significantly increased.]

[Congratulations! You have achieved a great harvest. Your Gourmet Cells have begun evolving, breaking through your previous limits!]

"Guuuuu..."

Kei's stomach let out a loud growl. He was starving. His Gourmet Cells had just evolved, and he needed a large amount of food to replenish his energy!

"Somebody roast this big lizard for me!"

Kei shouted at the stunned crowd on the city wall.

Everyone was still in shock. The battle between the Red Dragon and Kei had left them speechless, especially the sky-rending sword aura that had made their eyes widen with astonishment!

It was only when Kei called out that they snapped back to reality.

"We won!"

"We really won!"

"No, not us—The Quest King! He killed the Red Dragon all by himself!"

"The Sword Saint! This is what a true Sword Saint is!"

Everyone would never forget that forty-meter-long golden sword. Even Wiz, who had wondered why Kei didn't carry a weapon, now understood.

He didn't need any weapon. Or rather, no weapon was worthy of him!

"This should make for some great publicity."

"A High Priest and a Sword Saint working together to slay a Red Dragon and protect a town. Hehehe, the Axis Church is definitely going to become super popular!"

The nun couldn't help but laugh foolishly, imagining how many people would soon be joining her church.

"Kei-san is truly amazing!" Luna exclaimed.

Everyone had gained something from this battle. The adventurers and villagers didn't lose their home, the nun gained fame, and Kei earned his quest rewards.

[You have defeated the Red Dragon King alone in a desperate situation! Your reputation has spread throughout the entire kingdom! Everyone acknowledges your strength.]

[People believe you are the new hero destined to defeat the Demon King! However, the goddess who summoned you is feeling very unhappy.]

['Why is my hero fighting the Demon King in Eris's world? No, I have to bring him back!']

[The petty goddess has changed her mind. She's using every method possible to summon you back from this wonderful world.]

[Simulation temporarily ending. Do you want to save the simulation progress?]

"Huh? What does 'save simulation progress' mean?"

Kei was in the middle of eating roasted dragon meat when he heard the system prompt. He was surprised that the simulation had ended so quickly.

He was also curious about what this simulation save meant.

[You can save the current world, allowing you to continue from this point in the next simulation. If you do not save, you will lose this anchor point.]

[The next simulation will generate a new identity.]

"Oh, so it's really like saving a game. If I simulate again, I can continue from here. That's pretty good."

"Save simulation progress."

Kei said.

[Simulation progress saved. Ending simulation and preparing to issue the second simulation reward.]

Kei hurried to finish eating the dragon meat, but by the time everyone noticed, he had already been gone for a long time.

After that...

"Isn't it just a dragon? There are others in the capital with the ability to slay dragons. Why is he called a legendary adventurer?"

A newly arrived adventurer questioned.

"That wasn't just any Red Dragon. It was the king of the Red Dragon tribe, far stronger and larger than a regular Red Dragon!"

"So what? That's just a rumor. We didn't see the dragon's corpse, so who knows if you're just making stuff up?"

"What did you just say?! Everyone saw Sword Saint-sama beheading the Red Dragon! You're just jealous, you outsider!"

"What's there to be jealous of? It's just some powerful guy."

"That's it! You can insult us, but never insult the Sword Saint! Let's duel, bastard!"

Kei's biggest fan, the unfortunate guy who had once stalked him for a whole day and night, stood up, grabbing the other adventurer by the collar and dragging him outside for a duel!

[The Legend of the Adventurer, Quest King, Sword Saint, Dragon Slayer - Kei's Brave Deed #3: In Axel's darkest moment, he returned alone. With a single sword, he beheaded the Red Dragon King.]

[He sought no fame or wealth, donating the entire bounty to the poor. As for himself, he disappeared, leaving everyone to believe he was still on his quest, writing his own legend!]

To Offer a Simulation to This Wonderful World!

[Simulation ended... Preparing to issue the second simulation reward. Congratulations on obtaining Minority Barrier.]
