The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Ancient Dragon
[Announcement regarding Continent Hunt: Dragon Raid has been added!]
[Please refer to the notice.]
12:00 AM.
It is a notification that rang on the mobile phones of users playing the game or going about their daily lives throughout Ares.
Since the enthusiasm for the Dragon Expedition had not yet cooled down, users felt their hearts pounding at the mention of the word "dragon."
"-You say 'Continent Hunt'… …?"
The keyword for this dragon even included 'Continent'.
Among the things that Purum Co., Ltd. has prepared so far, the scale of those with 'Continent' attached to them was all tremendous.
A continental war where top users from two countries compete.
Continental War: World War, where the strongest users from each country participate as players.
Both have boasted a massive scale, and users have been waiting once again for Continental War: World War.
However, Purum Inc. was delaying the next Continental War: World War, and users could not hide their disappointment.
To suddenly combine 'Continent' and 'Dragon' in the midst of all this?
Users had no choice but to check the announcements in a hurry with excitement.
[Continent Hunt: Notice regarding Dragon Raid.]
We would like to express our gratitude to the users who always show us their enthusiastic love.
omission…….
Purum Co., Ltd. plans to host Continent Hunt: Dragon Raid. Opportunities to participate in the Dragon Raid will be given to users from all over the world. Please check the details listed below.
1. Users who have reached level 580 or higher are free to participate.
2. Users can form teams and participate without any numerical limit.
3. NPCs may join the raid team if they wish. However, NPCs cannot be revived upon death.
4. The raid is scheduled to take place in Talassian, and there will be no penalty for failing the Dragon Raid.
5. You are free to name your raid team and can modify it at any time.
5. You will share what is dropped by the dragon according to your contribution.
6. MVP rewards are available only to the player with the highest contribution.
7. Raid teams are ranked from 1st to 3rd place in contribution, and additional rewards are provided accordingly.
8. You may need countless trials and hardships before reaching Varga.
9. The Dragon Raid is scheduled to start at 12:00 on the 10th.
The whole world was turned upside down.
It's faster than the speed.
“Dragon Expedition. The reason has been revealed.”
It was the cornerstone for the Dragon Raid!
The whole world didn't know.
Even Purum Co., Ltd. judged Dragon Barga to be dangerous, and that Lee Se-jin was trying to unfold something they themselves had not predicted in an event-like manner.
Therefore, the method Lee Se-jin proposed to the branch managers was quite successful.
They viewed it not as a mistake by Purum Co., Ltd., but as an intention of Purum Co., Ltd.
– Continental War and Continental War: World War. The subsequent Continental Hunt Dragon Raid is scheduled to begin in 10 days.
Purum Co., Ltd. has not imposed a limit on the number of raid teams, but… considering that there are not that many existing users who have reached level 580 or higher, it is effectively no different from having a limit.
– Right now, the most important thing to note appears to be just one thing.
In fact, in Continental War and Continental War: World War, the best users from each nation formed teams. However, this time, there are no such restrictions.
It seems that the restriction will create an absurd synergy. Perhaps the number one ranked players from each country could even come together to form a team.
-Huh… If that happens, a truly tremendous team will be formed.
The whole world has the greatest interest in one thing.
Who teams up with whom. That will be the key.
It was the moment when the world's top high-rankers moved swiftly.
***
Satisfied
A smile spreads across Hyunsu's lips as he holds his smartphone.
– The Splendid Return of the King.
– The only one capable of standing against a dragon.
-The whole world. Looking at Hyun-su, I feel that the Dragon Raid is not a dream.
Among the hundreds of article titles, there wasn't a single one that made Hyunsu vomit or break out in a cold sweat.
It is thanks to the consideration of the users and blacksmiths yesterday.
You're asking if I could have just logged out?
At the time yesterday, there was no time to do so.
only…….
I realized that, unlike the content of the article, reality is not that easy.
Strength is relative.
Even though Hyun-soo succeeded in landing a few hits on Varga yesterday, will he really be able to succeed in hitting his eye again?
"It's absolutely impossible. It's not like Varga is a fool."
Varga's regenerative ability itself is also quite high.
'I wonder how much damage the high-rankers can inflict?'
Hyunsu became curious.
also.
They were talking about the recently released Dragon Raid on TV.
In Hyunsu's case, he was supposed to attempt the raid alone with Bahala.
However, the situation ended up changing rapidly.
All high-rankers participate.
It’s actually for the best, since it increases the chances. If it were just the two of us, we might not have been able to hunt.
Hyun-su found comfort in recalling the fear of yesterday.
Maybe Bahala and I don't have to struggle so frantically?
I had a thought.
However, I realize how foolish that thought is.
"Will we be able to raid Varga just by completing the Dragon Slayer Sword? Are we going to join them?"
It is still unknown to what extent the high-rankers are able to stand against them with their power.
An interview was starting on TV.
I am Pond, the Emperor of Swords.
Even though he suffered a bitter defeat against Hyun-soo, he is clearly a top-ranked fighter.
Hyunsu's eyes narrowed.
Pond was speaking live to the whole world from beyond the screen.
The Dragon Raid is expected to be a special event that demonstrates just how much high-ranking players have grown. Additionally, this event will allow users competing in different countries to join forces.
I do not mean to criticize, but because we are from the same country, we were sometimes forced to team up with people we did not want, and we even ended up making enemies of users who could have created synergy with us.
However, Dragon Raids are different. It is a time when users who can create the greatest synergy with each other can form a team, and the opponent you feared the most yesterday can become your most reliable ally.
Therefore, I will become your greatest ally. I will provide you with the best equipment, potions, hunting grounds, and everything else I can. It does not matter how much it costs. The Parion Empire is behind me, and vast funds are in my hands.
Pond.
He didn't become China's top-ranked player for nothing.
Is the rumor true that it is backed by China's top company?
Chinese conglomerates.
That one company will pour everything into the raid team that Pond is creating.
In other words, it amounts to the start of support for users as well.
Also, it is estimated that countless high-rankers will likely join Pond.
Have you decided on a raid team name?
In response to the reporter's question, in front of the whole world.
Pond spoke as if he had achieved a long-held dream.
-Blade Assembly.
-… … ?
It is a gathering of swords.
Inside the screen.
The reporters' faces were filled with bewilderment. However, Pond straightened his shoulders proudly, as if it were a name he was very proud of, and looked as if to say, "How about that?"
-I am also considering the name King Dragon Team, but… …
The first name was better than the latter.
“……That’s a lame name.”
Hyun-su let out a hollow laugh.
But putting that aside, Pond's Blade Assemble—or simply Blade—is going to be a formidable team.
I wonder if the people of the Land of Hyun naturally assume that the Land of Hyun will form a team?
Unfortunately, Hyunsu couldn't do that.
To be honest…
The fewer elite hunters there are, the higher the reward.
Therefore, Hyun-su did not want to share the compensation, and this is a point on which no agreement was reached with Bahala.
Then everyone will be disappointed… …?
This is a side effect created by the Dragon Raid event.
However, Hyunsu could not change the original plan.
Hyunsu entered the capsule with a heavy heart and logged in.
[Hyunsu: You all saw the Dragon Raid event announcement, right? I have something to tell you.]
[Risel: We have something to say too. Where are you?]
[Hyunsu: Central fountain.]
Hyunsu scratched the back of his head.
It seemed like they wanted to talk about forming a team for the country of Hyun.
Still, you have to refuse coldly.
Into the central plaza, starting with Bark, Musashi (who recently became a wizard), Hyeji (the divine archer), Taehoon (the fighter), Rond (the archmage), Bangbae (the spearman), Jane (the Crimson Flame Mage)… … .
Chancellor Nell arrived.
More than ten executives who form the backbone of the country of the prefecture have all gathered.
“You know…….”
I have something to say.
"huh?"
Nell looked at Hyunsu with a calm expression.
Nell spoke to Hyunsu, who was making a puzzled expression.
We plan to participate in this Dragon Raid with our own team. I apologize to Your Highness, but… I would like you to join us with others.
It's unexpected.
Hyunsu actually thought they were going to suggest deciding on a team name.
but…….
“We want to break free from the shadow of the Kingdom of Hyun and raid the dragon using our own strength. We do not want to be a ‘we’ that merely feeds off crumbs under Prince Hyunsu; instead, we want to succeed in the raid with our own independent power. Naturally, we will not use any assets from the Kingdom of Hyun, and we will assemble a perfect team of our own over the next ten days.”
Won't they try to take the bus?
You come to realize how shameful your thoughts were.
They, too, were the strongest leaders of the county.
They, too, wanted to see the hot sun they had been unable to see every day, hidden in his shadow.
“Get ready, Hyunsu.”
“I don’t think it’ll be easy.”
It is true.
How far Archmage Rond's great magic will unfold…
How far will Hyeoksu, the shield of the Kingdom of Hyeon, be able to block…
How much more has the Dragon of Resale been upgraded… … .
It is impossible to gauge what strategies and tactics Chancellor Nell will use to pressure the Dragon.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
They, too, could not gauge how well Hyunsu would perform this time, how much power he would unleash, or who he would team up with.
Have you decided on a team name?
Nell looked back at everyone.
Just as Hyunsu and Hyun's country have always done…
Nike.
They gave it a name that means victory.
