The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Baekhaesinsu. (3)
National Helio.
It is a nation that King Carter, known as the King of Monarchs, has been preparing for a long time.
King Carter's power lay in attracting renowned monarchs and making them submit.
The SSS-rank title 'Absolute Obedience,' which activates when you defeat enemies, helped increase the number of entities at an absurd speed.
Therefore, Carter had fulfilled the conditions for founding a nation much earlier.
Nevertheless, it was not built.
It is because I lack the confidence to handle the Pharion Empire.
If the nation were founded, there was a very high probability that it would become a colony of Parion.
It is a well-known fact that the nation established by the user is destined to spend its entire life paying taxes and crops to the Parian Empire.
You're saying the country of Hyun wasn't like that?
Carter is someone who acknowledges Hyunsu's power rather than purely denying it.
The country of Hyun was being protected by his craftsmanship, excellent blacksmiths, and those who served him.
And now.
[Talassian is determined to be a land of transcendent grade.]
[You receive a reward of +30 to all stats if you defeat or subjugate Talassian.]
[If you defeat or subjugate the Thalassians, the soldiers under your command will grow significantly.]
Carter was thrilled as he watched the notification come through.
Things of Ares significant, including artifacts, have grades.
The same goes for things like estates.
Of course, in most cases, territories are divided into small, ordinary, and large territories, but to Carter, even these were seen as ranks.
Most of the monarchs Carter subjugated through absolute obedience were rulers of free peoples who lived by forming their own independent forces, rather than kingdoms.
Carter has devoured dozens of such people so far, and this is only the second time a transcendent rank has appeared.
The first are the barbarians fighting alongside us on the battlefield today.
Louvre Fortress.
An absolute fortress that barbarians have lived in and guarded for a long time.
That place was classified as transcendence, and obtaining it alone grants power comparable to a small kingdom.
However, this Talassian is said to be of such a transcendent rank.
But unfortunately… … .
You cannot rule this place.
Dragon Varga is coming here.
Therefore, Carter's choice was to kill most of them and enslave those he needed.
“Wouldn’t it be better to become my nourishment rather than offer it to the dragon?”
“You rascal!”
The Dragon King's face was contorted with anger.
Barbarians with muscular bodies larger than ordinary humans.
They had become much stronger than before.
The barbarians are much stronger than even Parion's soldiers, whose average level exceeds 500.
It originates from birth.
Most barbarians cannot use skills, but their advantage is that they are 50% stronger and 50% more agile than humans, and have 100% higher total HP.
The disadvantage was that they lacked the ability to produce weapons.
However, King Carter supplied them with high-quality weapons, and at least the current barbarians are capable of taking on ten average Parion soldiers.
Save His Majesty!
Talassian knights and soldiers appear here and there, but.
Whoooosh-!
Kwaaaaaak-
Getting struck by the maces wielded by the barbarians and having my whole body shattered…
Swoooong-
Kwaaaaaak-!
It flopped like a fish split in half by the greatswords they swung, its nerves still intact.
“You bastards, you scoundrels!”
Rrrrrrr-
The ground shook due to the Dragon King's wrath.
Sensing the shaking of Talassian, Chancellor Rabil put on an artifact.
The name of the monocle is X-ray.
The things that can be obtained from the object are listed.
[Transcendent Grade. Dragon King's Tendon.]
[Transcendent Grade. Dragon King's Blood.]
[Transcendent Grade. Dragon King's Robe.]
[Transcendent Grade. Reverse Scale.]
[Legendary Grade… …
“Ha, hahahaha…… This is amazing! They say the Dragon King’s tendons are excellent material for making bowstrings, and that drinking his blood grants eternal youth!”
“……Eternal life?”
“Yes. They say it extends your lifespan. It’s a huge hit no matter who uses it, and a massive success if you sell it. Its value is immeasurable!”
Carter was also surprised.
Eternal life.
The dream that all outstanding people dream.
Its value would be immeasurable.
“Even the Dragon King’s robe is incredible. They say that wearing it allows you to issue commands to the creatures of the sea. Huh? Reverse… scales? What is this? Hiiiiiik…!”
Ravil was startled.
“Reverse Scales are scales that grow in the opposite direction, capable of weakening dragons and delivering a fatal blow. Although consumable, they weaken a dragon's defenses and partially control the use of magic……!?”
A smile spread across Carter's face.
“Ha, hahahaha……!”
reverse.
Although I am not making any dream-like plans to raid Dragon Varga right now.
It simply instills the possibility that dragon raids can be done when the nation of Helio is stable.
If you succeed in hunting a dragon with an army composed entirely of Helio soldiers, you can obtain astronomical rewards.
That reputation would be higher than the country of Hyun raiding the Great Demon.
It is a natural fact that dragons are more valuable on the ground.
A reason for the Dragon King to die arises again.
Dozens of Carter's subordinates pressure the Dragon King from all directions with various skills.
Is there defense reduction?
However, the robe the Dragon King was wearing was nullifying about 70% of their attack power.
Although he sustained scratches both large and small, the Dragon King was enduring it effortlessly.
Rumble-rumble-!
As he spread his hand wide, about 20 small vortices appeared and struck those attacking him.
Crunch, crunch, crunch-
[HP drops below 54%.]
[HP drops below 46%.]
[HP drops below 49%.]
Those who were struck rolled on the floor, feeling the phenomenal amount of damage.
Then the Dragon King raised both arms toward the sky.
Bubbling
Thousands of tiny bubbles rose up, and the entire Talassian vibrated.
Soon, cold sweat ran down Carter's face.
Hundreds of thousands of fish were rushing across the sea, charging toward Carter's army, and tens of thousands of marine creatures were also visible.
The Dragon King's robe shines red.
It is the 'ruler of the sea' possessed by the Dragon King's robe.
Crash-!
The exact number of troops Carter brought with him reached about 110,000.
Schools of fish struck and pushed back those fighting the Talassian forces, and sea creatures such as seals, whales, sharks, and giant turtles relentlessly pushed them back.
“Ughhhhh……!”
Blood gushed from the Dragon King's nose.
Even though his magical power exceeded the limit, he could not stop.
It's all my fault… It's my misjudgment…
I thought that my son, Phon, was not a man of great character for bringing only one reinforcement because he is so cautious.
However, he realized that he was the one who was truly at fault.
Even if Carter's forces meet their demise, they suffer a significant shock from the attacking marine animals.
The savages were slammed into the ground or torn apart by sharks.
However… … .
They did not die.
It is because they are the elite of the elite.
Even the super-famous NPCs found it difficult to stand against those who had come prepared.
Puff puff puff puff puff-!!!
Carter's forces fired harpoons endlessly.
The marine animals were swept away, and now blood flowed from the Dragon King's eyes, ears, and nose.
However, the number of those killed was merely 4,000.
Back then.
Condemnation.
Pffft-!!!
The Dragon King felt the heat in his side.
The Dragon King's Cloak reduces attack power by 80%.
However, the one who launched the surprise attack is a high-ranker among high-rankers.
Iruma is Carter's right-hand man.
He surpassed Level 630 and is the person who made King Carter who he is today.
His power, Condemnation, ignores all special effects and inflicts fatal damage by drastically reducing HP.
“Ugh……!”
It would have been even easier if it were the Dragon King who used the Ruler of the Sea.
The Dragon King suffered a fatal injury and vomited blood.
I can't last long…
A huge shadow of despair was falling over Talassian.
***
Barkan.
He is the one who was once the king of the barbarians who ruled over the savages.
He was 20cm taller than an average barbarian and was wearing leather armor and carrying a huge axe.
Kill all the Talassians and bring the prince back.
That is the mission assigned to Barkan.
The total number of barbarians participating in this war is 10,000.
Among them were users who had chosen new races or barbarians, as well as those originally led by Varkan.
Varkan was looking at a being in amazement.
His height of 2m50cm is also clearly that of a huge man.
However, a massive figure reaching 5 meters in height was standing alone in the way of the barbarians, saving the Talassian soldiers.
Hundreds of barbarians attacked by chopping at it with axes, but it did not budge.
Whoosh
Whoooosh!
Instead, he pulled out a huge pillar and swung it, striking down the barbarians.
The number of barbarians he had killed alone was already piling up like a mountain.
To be honest, Barkan wasn't confident that he could win against him.
The intensity of the non-come was that strong.
However, An-o was getting increasingly exhausted.
Catch the prince!
"He said that if we bring the prince back, Mr. Carter will bestow a great reward."
The barbarians pressure Anor and continue to try to capture Prince Fon.
“My Prince……!”
Each time, An-o swung the pillar and struck down the barbarians.
An-o looked around and became anxious.
Talassian's soldiers were falling one after another, while the barbarians were flocking to this place even more.
“Don't… run away….”
“…….”
Prince Fon thought that he might be able to live.
It is An-o who practically raised him since childhood.
He was his bodyguard and his parents were not.
However, An-o did not back down.
“If you lay a hand on the Prince, I’ll kill you!”
He was knocking away everyone who approached Prince Fon with a pillar.
Finally, Varkan grabbed the massive bow and pulled the bowstring.
It was a massive bow that ordinary humans could not even dare to hold.
Phew-!!!
One of the arrows from the great bow struck An-o's shoulder.
Phew!
It was embedded in the thigh…
Phew-!!
It was embedded in the right chest.
“Ughh
The barbarians did not miss that moment when he staggered.
He climbed onto An-o's body and started chopping at him with an axe.
Pupupupupupupu-!
He kept stabbing with the spear and cutting with the sword.
Some barbarians rushed at An-o and struggled with all their might to knock him down.
However, An-o did not collapse.
“Ugh… Prince… I will protect you.”
Noo!!!
Phone despaired.
An-o, covered in blood from head to toe, endures.
He endures even when his body is torn and broken. Standing, he continued to fend off those rushing at Prince Fon.
however.
Eventually, An-o, with another arrow lodged in his abdomen, knelt down and collapsed.
“Catch him!”
“Start with the Prince!”
As An-o collapsed, the users pulled the phone.
“No……!”
The barbarians' weapons were raised over An-o, who had collapsed to his knees.
Right then.
Wink wink wink wink-
An-o's eyes began to blink rapidly as he looked at a certain spot.
