The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Baekhaesinsu. (8)
“Ugh…”
“Ughhhhh…….”
“Your Majesty, please spare my life…….”
The author is a monster.
“Hiiiiiik…….”
The crushing power, made much more potent by the giant's strength and opening, shook the entirety of Talassian.
The barbarians who blocked Hyunsu's path with their valiant appearance.
A massive whirlwind swept through those who seemed to feel not the slightest bit of fear.
The vortex that manifested from the tip of Hyunsu's sword was the most powerful of all that had ever happened.
[Shatter's attack power increases by up to 4,300%.]
It overwhelmingly surpassed the basic attack power of Shatter, and also achieved an absurd increase in penetration power.
The Crusher, which was taller than the barbarians, shattered the barbarians just as its name suggested.
The artifacts they were wearing were distorted like paper as if gouged by a drill, their skin was torn, and their bones were shattered.
Thousands of barbarians and users scattered without a trace.
Those within the blast radius had lost an arm or a leg and were crawling on the ground.
Carter panicked.
Hyunsu was coming along the straight road.
It became immeasurably strong… …?
It is clearly not the power of Hyunsu that he knew.
The main axes forming Helio were several times stronger than the calculated suspension.
Hyunsu has not appeared in public recently.
The power of the giant whose arm had just turned purple was also tremendous.
The same goes for the gauntlet he is currently wearing.
“…….”
Hesitating
The barbarians and users are frozen and unable to move, even though Hyun-soo is charging toward Carter.
“Monarch. A class capable of uniting and growing monarchs. They say it is virtually the class that can reach the rank of King in Ares the fastest, as it allows you to rapidly expand your power by using Absolute Obedience to subjugate monarchs and absorb their territories.”
It is the judgment of Nell, the Chancellor of the County, that the Monarch class carries a penalty where even the individual themselves is significantly weakened if they lose a substantial amount of military power.
This is a fact that King Carter did not tell even those close to him.
Because every privilege is bound to have side effects.
Just like how the experience points required to level up increase several times when you become a new class.
Why are you saying that now?
It was when Carter began to have doubts as he looked at Hyun-su, who had suddenly come right up to him.
The melody gradually faded, and other sounds squeezed in.
[The Barbarian King Varkan has fallen in battle.]
[The barbarians lose their center of gravity and become confused following the warrior of Barbarian King Varkan.]
[Allied damage is totaled and displayed.]
[28,413 barbarians and 4,231 players were killed in action during the war in the Talassian Royal Capital.]
[All troops fighting in the royal capital have been annihilated.]
[Military power is weakened by 22% due to the loss of Barbarian King Varkan and a significant number of barbarians.]
[You are of royal class.]
[You will receive a corresponding penalty for power weakening.]
[All stats decrease by 9%, level is lowered by 6, and all skill proficiency converges back to 0.]
[Three of the King's skills are randomly sealed.]
[Legendary Skill Monarch's Benevolence, Legendary Skill King's Roar, and Transcendence Skill Monarch's Benevolence are sealed.]
[The sealing continues until you level up to 6 again.]
Leaving aside the monarch's benevolence and the king's shouts, the damage caused by the monarch's benevolence was great.
Monarch's Benevolence is an absurd power that increases the growth rate of a territory by 50% the moment Carter makes the monarch submit and becomes the master of that territory.
As the barren land becomes fertile and the swarming monsters retreat, the living area of the villagers expands.
In other words, a 50% increase in growth rate brings about a much bigger change to the entire territory than expected.
However, as this skill is sealed… … .
[As the land begins to dry up, monsters start to reappear in the territories under your control.]
[The villagers begin to fall into confusion.]
[You will be unable to harvest the crops that need to be harvested.]
It approaches as massive damage like this.
“Um, over there…….”
“Hiiik.”
“What is that?”
Carter's subordinates pointed to one side, their faces turning deathly white.
A huge whale was approaching from a close distance along with tens of thousands of marine creatures.
In front of him, Akao was coming, standing on a dolphin.
“Your Majesty…! You vermin!”
The appearance of Akao.
Carter, having also seen whales and marine life, quickly made a decision.
[Uses King's Return.]
[All troops under the King's command are retreating.]
It is a kind of large-scale mass teleportation.
Even a great sorcerer could not move tens of thousands of people at once like this.
Whoaah-
Carter became the light.
Carter sneered softly as he disappeared.
It was the bitter smile of a loser.
However, at that moment, Hyun-su exerted his last ounce of strength.
Pffft-!?
Pupupupupu-!
“……?”
The moment of warping is only a difference of about 1 second.
In that fleeting moment of one second, Carter's body is repeatedly stabbed and slashed all over.
The blood gushing from all over his body intensified Carter's fear, and the attacks coming in dozens of times in an instant bewildered him.
Phew, pew pew, crack, crack!
Phew, squeak-!
Carter got goosebumps every time he made eye contact with the moving Hyun-soo.
[HP becomes 0.]
Carter eventually met his death.
[You will receive a forced logout penalty.]
[Decreases by 2 levels, and all stats decrease slightly.]
With his death, it took longer to release the monarchical benevolence Carter possessed.
You failed even to escape…?
Carter was flustered.
also.
[Guild member Iruma has been forcibly logged out.]
In that instant, Hyunsu eliminated even his right-hand man, Iruma.
one side.
[You have executed King Carter, the leader of the army that threatened Thalassian.]
[Gain 95,190,013 experience points.]
[You have executed Yiruma.]
[Gain 43,200,000 experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
Carter and Iruma turn to ashes and scatter.
Tens of thousands of those who threatened Talassian and sought to destroy everything turned into light and vanished in an instant.
The Talassians who had been hiding in various parts of the house began to come out.
In their sight, Hyunsu stood on the fortress wall, breathing heavily.
"You're human, aren't you?"
“Humans saved us……?”
Humans threatened us, and humans saved us.
The expressions on the faces of the Talassians were complex.
They were relieved when they saw that Akao had the White Sea Divine Beast behind him.
At the very least, the fact that Baekhaesinsu is with us means we know that he will not harm us.
Even if they try to harm me…
He also knew that Baekhaesinsoo would not sit idly by.
[Peace has come to Talassian.]
[It was you who brought about that peace.]
[Gain 5,000 Reputation.]
Light shines down from the sky. As if to say that you can finally breathe a sigh of relief…
“Who on earth is the author?”
The Dragon King asked Prince Pon.
Only then did Phone explain the whole story.
I found out that he was a human king.
The purpose of coming here is also…
However… … .
The Dragon King's face was clouded with bewilderment.
You said you came because of the Royal Throne…?
Hyunsu looked at the quest with a pleased expression.
[Sudden Quest: For the Dragon King.]
Grade: SS
Restriction: Talassian Entrant.
Rewards: Varies depending on achievements.
Penalty for failure: Cannot enter Talassian again.
Description: Talassian is currently in a great crisis due to a human invasion. Please rescue the Dragon King from the invading humans and bring peace to Talassian.
"It depends on achievements? With achievements like this, it should be enough even to earn the Dragon Scale, right?"
Hyun-su is clearly a hero of Talassian.
I thought it was enough to get the dragon's scales.
Soon, the Dragon King, barely able to move thanks to several potion bottles, approached while being supported by Pawn.
However, Phone's expression was not good.
Soon, the Dragon King also wore an apologetic expression.
“I am truly grateful that you saved Talassian. The fact that the two of you fought means you risked your lives… Shamelessly, I do not think I can give you the wrath you desire.”
“……Why? I will use the Dragon Scale to create a Dragon Slayer Sword. The Dragon Slayer Sword is permanent and might be able to defeat Dragon Varga.”
Hyunsu was quite excited.
The Dragon King wore a troubled expression.
It is because the dragon scale turns into water and scatters when it touches human hands.
"yes……?"
Hyunsu's face contorted with shock.
The materials referred to in divine custom-making are not universal.
It could certainly be a material, but it could also be unusable.
However, I didn't know that it would become my Achilles' heel.
Without a dragon's scale, all plans will go awry.
Is there no way?
“As far as I know, there is no way. Giving up my dragon scales is not a waste. But the moment I do, they will scatter and vanish… good grief…”
I would rather give you something else.
Those other things will be excellent.
[Intimacy with the Dragon King increases.]
Hyunsu had clearly earned the Dragon King's favor.
But it's a big problem.
Can Varga really be stopped with substitute materials?
The Dragon Slayer Sword had to be crafted from the finest materials.
Back then.
“Your Majesty, the White Sea Divine Beast says it has something to say.”
“……Ah, sorry. I was lost in thought.”
Hyun-su suddenly came to his senses.
A giant whale, the White Sea Divine Beast, was rising atop the fortress wall.
[You are the first user to discover the White Sea Divine Beast.]
[Gain 1% to all stats.]
[Gain 3,000 Reputation.]
Hyunsu's body floated up on its own.
The White Sea Divine Beast finally faces the one whom Akao serves.
Baekhaesinsoo was surprised.
I could feel the tiger's unyielding valor.
I could feel the aggressive and immense power of the Phoenix.
I could feel Hyunmu's power to protect anything.
I could feel the intimidation emanating from that individual who remained undaunted despite facing me with rigid eyes and nose, and a body covered in scars.
Stop the Dragon Varga,
Boooooo-
The voice of Baekhaesinsoo hummed as if heard through ultrasound.
I cannot stop Dragon Varga.
There was self-reproach in that voice. But on the other hand, there was hope.
However, Hyun-su could not easily answer that he would do so.
I could not make a guarantee in a situation where I could not secure the dragon's scale.
at that time.
There is not just one reverse scale.
“……You mean it’s not just one?”
At that moment, the Dragon King opened his eyes wide.
It was the White Sea Divine Beast that gave our royal family the dragon scale in the first place.
“……!?”
Hyunsu made a surprised expression.
Rumble-
Huge bubbles formed, and inside them, white, inverted scales appeared.
[Mythical Grade. Obtain Baekhaeyeokrin.]
It was incomparable to things like the Dragon King's reverse scale.
