The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Baekhaesinsu. (7)
King Carter's face was horribly distorted.
I could have killed him if I had gone just a little further.
A net purchased for a large sum of money.
The moment the Dragon King was caught in that net that even a named NPC could not easily break, all the victory turned in their favor.
A sudden loud noise began to be heard.
When Carter found out that the reinforcements Prince Fon had brought were Hyun-soo, he actually laughed maniacally.
It is because I thought, 'What can I do alone in front of a force that has been preparing for a long time and is close to 30% of the power to become the national Helio?'
but…….
[7 barbarians have died.]
[User Pollen has been forcibly logged out.]
[13 barbarians have died.]
[User Abu has been forcibly logged out.]
17 barbarians have died.
[User Piece has been forcibly logged out.]
[The damage to the barbarians is immeasurable.]
[The damage to users is immeasurable.]
[The totals will be provided!]
Carter and the high-ranking users of the nation's Helio were flustered by the barrage of notifications.
Those barbarians are dying off at such a fast rate?
But aren't every single one of the barbarians rank-level?
Power is relative.
It is like ten soldiers barely being able to take on one knight.
As such, the barbarians were the most outstanding minority group and free people in this worldview called Ares.
Each and every one of them was made up solely of killing machines, and even Carter was barely able to subdue the barbarians through superior tactics and strategies.
Even they suffered heavy losses in order to subdue such barbarians.
However, the notification that came in just over a minute sent shivers down their spines.
Moreover, when a huge wolf appeared from afar and a succession of huge hammers rained down, they had to feel distressed by the loud notification window.
The countless people with Carter became desperate and continued to attack the Dragon King trapped in the net.
However, even while caught in the net, the Dragon King counterattacked.
At times, with the power of the Dragon King's robe, sea creatures wrapped around the net and protected him.
Fortunately, the notifications that were raining down like crazy slowed down.
In the end, Hyun-su will likely be pushed out, unable to handle the sheer number of people.
Carter felt relieved, then received the report.
I am Akao.
“The Pirate King Akio has arrived!”
“Akao……?”
Why didn't I know that?
Pirate King Akio, one of Hyun's subordinates, must be the only human capable of entering Talassian.
Four Krakens, two Sea Dragons, and two Turtle Dragons.
He was the one who commanded no fewer than eight legendary monsters.
However.
Iruma let out a sarcastic laugh.
“Hyun is digging his own grave. Isn't 500 barbarians enough to hunt down a legendary monster?”
The power of the legendary monsters was decreasing over time.
It is because users are getting stronger.
Also, since the barbarians themselves were strong, this is a good opportunity.
“To think that I can eliminate one of the core military forces of the Hyun Kingdom…….”
What surprised me about Hyunsu killing so many barbarians was nothing but the speed.
He had no doubt that the barbarians would eventually kill Hyun-su.
Carter believed that he could return the damage by killing Akao.
Kwaaaaang-!
“Ugh…!”
Carter also looked like a barbarian.
He swung his massive greatsword and inflicted a fatal wound on the Dragon King, who was still resisting.
Gulp gulp gulp-!
It was the moment the end of the monstrous Dragon King was in sight.
“Please, just…!”
“Die!”
Kwa kwa kwa kkwak-!
The Dragon King staggered, trapped in the net under a ceaseless barrage of attacks.
After killing the Dragon King, they intended to join Akao and Hyunsu in the hunt.
at that time.
"pluck."
The Dragon King vanished right before his eyes, and Carter was flustered.
You left Akao alone?
I didn't expect this.
That is because it would mean that Hyunsu abandoned his subordinate.
The place they were was on top of the castle wall.
A man stood with a giant, Prince Pon, and the Dragon King surrounded by a net.
“…I’ve heard a lot of stories. I heard them from Yihwan, and also from Ravil, who is right next to you.”
Carter looked back at Chancellor Raville.
Ravil's face was crumpled miserably.
I am not saying that I actually heard it.
Up until now, King Carter has approached the county's country several times and attempted to seize their possessions.
We tried to recruit Lee Hwan, who ranks first in Korea, but failed.
Instead, Yi Hwan threatened that if the barbarians invaded Hyun's country, he would use 'sword drawing techniques' to kill them all.
The blacksmith, Rowon, also pressured him.
However, Rowoon did not fall for Rabil's tricks, and instead rose to prominence by creating even more superior weapons.
Several other things.
Even the unknown.
Amusingly, Carter kept trying to retrieve it but frequently failed.
Carter was holding a greatsword over his shoulder with a composed expression, but… …
Aren't you ashamed?
“…….”
Carter maintained a blank expression, but it is true that he flinched.
As a user, it is only natural to take and be taken from.
However, the shame Hyun-soo is talking about does not stem from such things.
A gentleman who is 15 years older than me.
Ceeeek-
It is shameful that I tried to take it but failed.
Iruma, who was standing beside him, thought.
1 loss… … .
Carter lost this one.
But not in the future.
It seems that Hyunsu being able to laugh in the current situation is nothing more than bravado.
At that moment.
The melody began.
That calm and beautiful melody covered the sea, and to Carter, the barbarians standing there, and the users, that beautiful melody soon sounded like the scraping of metal.
Squeak-!
[All stats decrease by 14%, and skill cooldowns increase by 30%.]
The fact that over 100,000 people fall into a debuff.
It is something I have never heard of in my life.
on the other way.
The song is good.
Hyunsu was actually impressed.
[All stats increase by 13%, skill cooldowns are reduced, and mana recovery speed is greatly increased.]
The reason Hyun-su trusted Akaho was that he knew the 'King's Call' as his master.
“…How about this? I will share half of what comes out of killing the Dragon King.”
“Mr. Carter……!”
Carter's retainers were flustered.
I couldn't understand why they would insist on such conditions when it was obvious they would win.
However, this was an unexpected collision.
It was clear that both Carter and Hyun-su wanted to avoid a clash here.
Hyunsu, in particular, would not want to lose Akao.
“You must have a clear purpose for coming here.”
Hyunsu was a busy person.
There must be an obvious reason why someone who has to handle hundreds of tasks has come here, and there must be something they wish to obtain from the Dragon King.
“If necessary, can’t you get it by cutting open a belly?”
It means it drops if you kill the Dragon King.
In fact, Carter's words were reasonable.
Without any clashes between them, Hyun-su was able to easily win over the enemy and return.
Carter considered it an irresistible condition.
However… … .
“If I just wipe you all out, I’ll have it all to myself. Why bother? Your Majesty.”
“……Cough, cough……?”
The Dragon King looked puzzled at Hyeonsu, who was calling him familiarly.
However, at least he saved his own life, and through Prince Ban's bodyguard, An-o, I hoped he would not abandon us.
Honestly, from the Dragon King's perspective, it didn't seem strange that Hyun-soo would hand them over.
“If I kick them out, you’ll give me a lot, right?”
“Cough cough……!”
Did you hear that?
“……?”
The Dragon King only coughed?
“I definitely heard it, the voice of the heart. Only good children can hear it.”
Is he crazy?
[Sudden Quest: For the Dragon King will spawn.]
Hyunsu clearly heard the quest notification.
The reason the Dragon King could not answer was that the current situation did not look easy.
It is not an easy situation to rely on just one person.
The Dragon King was watching the blue aura rising from Hyunsu.
That blue aura means that Hyunsu is receiving a buff from the White Sea Divine Beast.
The power of the Divine Beast manifests only in those who wish to protect us.
The Dragon King was sad.
The fact that I have to rely on just one person.
With the melody growing faster and faster, Hyun-su entrusted the Dragon King to An-o and Pon and ran out.
Carter took a few steps back upon realizing that Hyunsu, who was rushing out, had answered, "I don't want to."
He realized that Hyunsu's goal was ultimately himself.
However, tens of thousands of subordinates were protecting him.
Especially, aren't the barbarians stronger than Parion's elite knights?
The gauntlet worn by Hyunsu.
The 'Hero's Gauntlet' obtained from the Ether Vault shone brightly.
Hyun-su pulled back the Twin Dragon Swords he had dragged behind his back and immediately slashed a barbarian.
[Triangle.]
[Inflicts 3x damage.]
Ss
It was a bizarre sight where a barbarian was split in two with just a single move.
Kwa, kwakwak, kwakwakwak-!
[Nine Cuts.]
The Greatsword effect of the Hero's Gauntlet triggers much better today.
Hyun-su did not back down while facing tens of thousands of enemies alone.
The melody intensifies.
[The protagonist of the song appears!]
Although Akao was the main character, to Carter and those present, it was to the point where Hyunsu felt like the protagonist.
Bang, puff puff puff, puff puff puff-!
Hyunsu kept moving forward.
Carter was bewildered as he watched the barbarians and users being swept away one after another.
Moreover.
The power of a giant.
Sugaaaaak-!
When strength increased by hundreds of percent, it was only natural that cutting power also increased.
It was a strange phenomenon that even Carter had never seen before, where the barbarians were sent flying and slashed whenever they were struck.
It was a distance of 200m… … .
150m.
Kukwakwakwakwakwakwak-!
The Sword's Rampage.
Crash-!
120m.
The Cry of the Sword, Final Edition.
Kiiiiiiiing-
100m.
It kept narrowing.
"That's a user…?"
Carter clearly knew the limitations of the user.
Now the barbarians were clinging to Hyun-su. However, Hyun-su was currently using the giant's power.
In that state, use the effect of 'Hero's Gauntlet' that has not been used until now.
[Open.]
[The Hero's Gauntlet unleashes its power to greatly enhance one selected skill.]
[You have selected Shredding.]
[Shatter level increases by 4!]
“Shredding.”
[Shatter's attack power increases by up to 4,300%.]
[The radius increases to twice the usual amount.]
Rumble-!!!
Carter witnesses the barbarians and users blocking his path being torn to shreds.
50m.
30m.
At some point, Carter was moved by him who kept walking towards him.
Thump-
My back was blocked.
It was only then that Carter realized.
Me, of all people… …
He kept backing away, and eventually his back was blocked by a wall.
