It is like a notification being heard.
Blood-flaming insect.
It was slender like a common parasite and had an intermediate form between a centipede and a bloodsucking worm.
Inside, flickering blood flames circulated, and dozens of hook-like legs were attached between the scales.
It was nothing more than a fleeting glimpse, but I never want to see it again.
Such blood-flame worms had been residing in the Heavenly Altar as Varga's curse until now.
Thank you, Hyun-su. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Bahala is now freed from the curse.
Of course, since he was not currently holding the Heavenly Altar in his hand, he did not know that the name of the Heavenly Altar had been changed.
one side.
Trembling
Hyunsu felt wronged upon hearing the notification because he was currently holding the Heavenly Sword.
I did hope you wouldn't give up, but I didn't want you to become stronger…
It may be a narrow-minded thought, but it is because that power is too outstanding.
Skills generate different power depending on who possesses them.
I think that the blood-flaming insect could actually do that.
Or not? This seems excellent too?
It will be more effective against strong players than against regular users.
It says that it is sometimes weakened by the curse of the Blood Flame Worm.
The problem is overcoming surrender.
3 seconds of invincibility if Bahala uses 'Surpassing'? Damn it!
Hyunsu got angry.
If regular users become invincible for 3 seconds, they might be able to take on just one person.
However, there are dozens of Bahala.
You can also take the head of an unbeatable boss.
Are you asking if it's possible?
Bahala got 20% stronger? And even movement speed and attack speed increased by 40%!?
If ordinary users suddenly gained such power, they were bound to stumble.
But it wasn't Bahala.
It is a monster that will unleash critical hits in that moment of 40% faster speed, and will easily complete and slam 25 combo skills.
It is to the point where he does not know how to deal with Bahala, who will unleash this power.
Bahala also discovered the remnants of fire remaining on the sword.
As Bahala reached out his hand, Hyunsu handed over the Heavenly Sword.
“Huh…? Why are you using so much force? Give it back, Hyunsu.”
“…….”
“Relax, relax…….”
Bahala snatched it up in a flash.
Bahala was shocked upon seeing him. The Heavenly Blade is a transcendent-grade sword.
Although it had not yet reached the level of a myth, it was close to one, and the name Cheondando, which does not yield, was exactly to Bahala's liking.
“I, I prepared this for you. Hehehe…….”
Bahala looked puzzled at Hyunsu's expression, which made it unclear whether he was crying or laughing.
You were saying just a moment ago that you would help him win in style?
Hyun-su, wearing a disappointed expression, quickly shook him off.
It can't be helped.
After all, nothing would have changed even if I had felt jealous for no reason.
However, the Heavenly Sword looked truly magnificent when Bahala held it.
Now that it has been upgraded even further, isn't it even scattering a subtle red aura?
Bahala, who had been staring at him intently, said.
I hope you do your best in crafting my sword.
“Yeah, that’s right…”
"You seem to lack motivation."
“No, it’s more than enough… To craft a sword capable of defeating Varga, you need to be overflowing with motivation.”
On top of that, Hyunsu had to make Bahala's sword as well, so he felt conflicted.
Bahala chuckled as he looked at him.
I will make that enthusiasm overflow.
“How exactly do you plan to boost my motivation?”
“……By paying the value of the sword you will make for me.”
The value of the sword?
"money?"
Even if Hyun-su received money commensurate with it, this stomach ache could not possibly disappear.
Sometimes there was a value that money could not provide.
“I will create the swordsmanship most suitable for you.”
"what……?"
“A descendant of the Sword God can create as many of his techniques as they understand. I have never told anyone, but I possess the power to create customized swordsmanship.”
The power of custom crafting that Hyunsu possesses as the god of blacksmiths is emerging.
Hyunsu is the one who knows the power of custom-made products better than anyone.
“Swordsmanship created by you, solely for me?”
"okay."
What is the grade?
“I don’t know that either. Your artifacts don’t always come out as high-grade, do they?”
That is true.
“However… I will continue to create until the best swordsmanship you can wield emerges.”
"Can it be that infinite?"
Even if you could make an infinite number, there are actually only a few that are usable.
“……I understand, since creating swordsmanship isn’t exactly easy.”
“When this swordsmanship is perfected, if it reaches a Transcendence grade or higher, you will be able to wield it like a myth.”
"how?"
“Since the reward for Hidden Quest: To My Descendant says it levels up any skill by 3.”
“……!”
Hyun-su is impressed.
“Can you promise to create a swordsmanship for me?”
"I swear on the name of the descendant of the Sword God."
Bahala is not one who only receives.
He gives the one who promised to protect him a means to protect him as well.
[A descendant of the Sword God will create excellent swordsmanship befitting you.]
[However, this applies only when you succeed in crafting an excellent sword.]
“……What is needed now is the most perfect sword for hunting dragons. Only if you craft such a sword will I create a swordsmanship for you. Can you do it?”
It won't be easy.
You will get tired.
I might have to stay holed up in the blacksmith's forge for a few more days.
Because I have to overwhelmingly surpass the Black Dragon Slayer who will hunt the strongest being on Earth.
Hyunsu answered that question as a blacksmith.
I accept the commission to craft the Dragon Slayer Sword.
***
[Dragon Varga's true intentions are revealed.]
[Dragon Varga's true intention is not to rule over Talassian.]
[The goal is to rule the Human Realm after confirming one's power through Talassian.]
This is a notification that appeared on the computer screens of branch managers around the world.
Branch managers, without exception, stopped what they were doing and hurriedly connected to the video chat.
Most of the branch managers gathered in a video chat in just 10 minutes.
To think Dragon Varga's goal was ultimately the handover…
Damn it, the absence of the Sword God was indeed dangerous.
Why did Dragon Varga reveal himself? Certainly, 352 episodes threatening the worldview were generated after the Sword God fell into rest, but wasn't that supposed to be several years later?
Well… … it’s because User Hyunsu drove Varga out of Elvenheim.
-… …
If Varga had been in Elvenheim, this would not have happened. The prediction that such an event would occur a few years later was accurate. Varga was simply the exception.
An episode that threatens the worldview.
It is literally possible to turn the entire Ares into a wasteland.
Hyunsu's name was mentioned, but no one blamed him.
After all, he had saved Elvenheim in his own way.
The problem is what has befallen them.
Let's stay calm.
John, the head of the US branch, silenced the noisy place with his words.
There is good news and bad news.
Everyone focused on John.
I’ll start with the good news. Users are gradually starting to believe that Dragon Varga will appear. Please take a look at the screen.
A community screen appeared in front of the branch managers.
-You f***ing bastard… I'm telling you, it's true. I really wasn't going to release this unless absolutely necessary, but here you go! (Video).
The video released to the community showed Dragon Varga engaged in a fierce battle with Bahala.
– Is this not a composite? Otherwise, how could Bahala be so helpless?
No, look at the size of the dragon, you bastards. That's only natural.
– After all, the strongest being on Earth is the dragon… … .
Branch Manager Yu Hwan asked.
Why is this good news?
Because users can prepare.
-ah…….
Bad news also exists within the same content.
Another post from the community was displayed.
How do you beat a dragon, you idiots?
What are you preparing for? Does preparing make any difference?
They're making noises about preparing for an asteroid collision. The server is shutting down.
– I guess I should quit the game… … .
Ares is doomed… ㅠ
Thank you for loving Virtual Reality Ares so far.
All the branch managers remained silent.
The point is that users will panic. Currently, the existence of Varga feels far more serious than the Archdemon. The possibility is that such a Varga might rise above Talassian. Furthermore, if it actually does, it will be impossible to stop it.
According to calculations by our US branch, it was concluded that if Varga comes up, about one-third of the continental territory will be devastated.
"CEO Lee Se-jin, I am giving up. A world created by users? That would be nice. But what good is it if Ares falls?"
John, the U.S. branch manager, looked around at the other branch managers and spoke, and the other branch managers agreed with him.
I will give up.
A world created by the users? Fine. But this time is different. I will definitely intervene and forcefully confine Varga to Talassian. I will give up as well.
I will give up as well.
I wanted to support the CEO's wishes to the very end, but I also believe that I must intervene this time and stop Varga with an update.
Sometimes, the representative's thinking can be wrong.
John, the head of the US branch, believes he has come to a reasonable conclusion.
However, Sejin's answer was consistent.
I can't give up yet.
CEO Lee Se-jin!
John shouted. However, Sejin calmly continued speaking.
It's exactly half.
-yes?
What do you mean only half?
“I believe there is still hope. Therefore, rather than making a proposal through an update, I suggest issuing a quest for users to form a dragon 'raid team' themselves.”
Are you talking about the quest to form a raid team?
-… … Do you think that is possible right now?
Do you think users will be able to do raids even if they form teams?
“It’s not big, but I believe there is a small possibility. Because two users with that potential have met.”
Sejin displayed a screen.
All the branch managers' eyes were fixed.
There were familiar users, Bahala and Hyunsu.
– Accepting the request to craft the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Everyone was surprised by the mention of the Dragon Slayer Sword.
-Dragon Slayer Sword… … ?
If it is the Dragon Slayer Sword, isn't it a sword that kills dragons?
So what?
Everyone looked puzzled.
The Dragon Slayer Sword is not even complete yet.
Sejin smiled faintly.
“Keep watching; unlike us, those two didn’t give up.”
You mean you didn't give up, unlike us?
They continued to monitor the two people.
