440. 86 The World of Arms (2)
Kaga Gag!
The ax rotates and flies toward Taishan’s head. Taesan grabbed the handle. The ax began to jerk like crazy.
Taishan threw down the axe. Then the weapons that were stuck around stood up and accepted the flying axe.
Taesan laughed at the sight of him looking like a human.
“What kind of world is this?”
These arms were alive.
It was safe to say that it was a life made of iron. It was similar to Taesan’s arrow, but he had a far superior ego.
It did not appear to be a place made simply to be used as a layer of labyrinth.
Originally, I would have asked the ghost a lot, but he wasn’t here.
Taesan called Minerva instead.
[You are the spirit king of the wind. Called Minerva
.]
“Utchacha.”
The wind gathers and Minerva appears. Her first reaction upon stepping on the ground was displeasure.
“…master. Where are you? Can’t you feel the energy of nature at all?”
“I don’t know either. I called you to let you know Any guesses?”
“what?”
Minerva looked around Taesan and tilted her head.
“Come to think of it, where did the ghost go’?”
The ghost was always by Taesan’s side. Minerva also noticed right away that the ghost was gone.
“You left me for a while.”
“Isn’t it a relationship bound by a quest? Can you leave like that?”
“The quest is over.”
Taesan replied. Minerva realized.
“I see… I must have become lonely. are you okay. master. Because I and Barcaza are
there.”
“First of all, put off that story until later. Can you guess what kind of world this is?”
“O uh.”
-The .
Minerva pressed her chin with her finger.
“There are so many weapons and most of them have this weak will. And I don’t feel any life at all. The same goes for spirits. It’s like a world made only for weapons.”
Minerva said in an ambiguous tone.
“Are you a new blacksmith?”
“blacksmith?”
“The god who governs and governs the concept of innocence. I’m not sure either. A god who is basically not friendly with us.”
Minerva continued.
“He says that he can make a weapon that allows him to choose his own master to reach a high level beyond mortality. It’s just a rumor, I don’t know if it’s true. I heard that he has several areas where he keeps his weapons .
It must be one of those worlds, right?”
Minerva shook her head.
“I don’t know more than this. He is a god so far from me.”
“That’s enough.”
approximate information was obtained. Minerva shrank with a puzzled look on her face.
“I’m sorry, owner, but can I go back? There is no natural aura here. There is only cold metal. It is a very unpleasant place for me.”
“okay. I’m back.”
“thank you. master. Call me back when needed.”
Minerva returned to the spirit realm with a relieved face. As she said, what I can feel here is the will of the warriors. There was only one. Something as a world didn’t feel at all.
It was as if this world itself was a showcase made for those weapons.
Kagagagak!
Dozens of weapons stuck around Taesan are pulled out all at once. They rush in to stab Tae-San’s whole body
.
“Back off.”
[You have triggered the exclusion declaration.]
Kaaah!
The weapons collided with strong will fly away all at once.
They creak like they’re embarrassed.
There were too many weapons to subdue them one by one. No matter how much strength he showed, he kept attacking, which was annoying.
[You activated Baal’s Layered Darkness.]
The layered darkness covered Taesan’s body.
The will of the weapons was shaken, probably because they missed Mount Taesan. Taesan ignored them and focused.
[You activated Lerazier’s Realm Detect.]
The power of Detect spreads toward the world. In an instant, everything in the world comes into Taesan’s head.
Now, if there is no obstruction, he
can figure out all the planets in one sitting, even if it takes time.
As a result, Taishan learned that the size of this world is as large as the Earth.
And I also figured out that there is something very powerful on the other side.
Perhaps that was the purpose of the quest, the King’s sword. Taesan couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
The power felt from the king’s sword was very huge.
It was a power that reached the pinnacle of mortality
.
On a mortal level, it seemed impossible to subdue.
Barbabamba said he had pulled the deep layer. In other words, this floor was also found in an ordinary labyrinth.
And that meant that there was a high possibility that Lee Taeyeon would have cleared this floor as well.
‘Have you ever heard of a story like this?’
Taesan didn’t even remember everything she said. Unfortunately, I couldn’t remember.
Taesan thought for a moment and moved on.
However, Taishan was not heading in the direction of the king’s sword.
There were three major facts that Taesan found out through area detection.
size of the world.
The position of the weapon that appears to be the king’s sword.
And one lifeform other than Taesan.
Taesan stamped his feet. His body sped through space in an instant.
After a while, Taishan found a small cave.
Taishan walked towards the cave.
Around the cave, as in other places, there were numerous weapons embedded. But something was different.
If the weapons here were very ferocious and had a will to reject anyone, the weapons placed near the cave had a very stable will.
Taesan caught one of them.
[A sword with a tempered will]
[A nameless sword that was forged by itself and was born into this world. It was reborn as a sharp weapon with the help of an outstanding blacksmith.]
[Attack power + 1000]
[Have the will to help the master.]
As soon as he came to this world, he rushed at Taesan. . However, this sword
had been transformed into
a proper weapon .
Taishan entered the cave.
kang! clang clang!
There was the sound of a hammer hitting. A warm glow clung to his skin.
that buck
As Taishan moved forward, the weapons in the cave rose.
It was as if they were trying to protect their master.
“stop. these guys Because it looks like a guest.”
A calm voice rang out. The weapons
slowly returned to their places.
Taishan reached the deepest part of the cave.
There was a dwarf there.
It was a dwarf with a ridiculous appearance, like something out of a fairy tale. He was hammering the anvil with an ill-fitting hammer.
Kaaang!
said the dwarf sharply.
“Are you an adventurer?”
[You are a mad dwarf. Encountered Kosrune.]
* * *
Kosrune. It was a name I remembered. Hafran had spoken of him before.
The one who has gone mad in making equipment that surpasses mortality. When it comes to will-related equipment, he is above himself.
“Why no answer? Are you an adventurer?”
Taesan nodded. Kosrun
tilted his head.
“When I signed a new contract, I said that no adventurers would come here for the time being. It doesn’t matter.”
Kosrun proudly beat his chest. With a height that barely reached Taesan’s waist, he shouted loudly.
“I am Kosrun! It is the blacksmith nestled in the labyrinth! Stick it in your brain and don’t forget it!”
“I know. That you have the name Kosrun, and that you are very good with will-related equipment.”
Kosrun’s face, which was about to shout confidently, went cold.
“what? How do you know?”
“Hafran told me.”
“What is a harp?”
Kosrun frowned.
“…I’m not the type to say that to an adventurer. Ohh. Do you think you are quite capable? Is it normal enough to come here?”
Kosrun’s gaze toward Mount Tai was intriguing. Taesan asked him.
“I heard that you are staying on the 70th floor.”
“Originally it was. But deep down, the place I longed for came in. So I immediately changed the contract and moved the location.”
Kosrun
shook his hammer with an excited face.
“Hafran. Shouldn’t he have called him too? no This is far from his area of expertise. It would be better not to come.”
“What are you doing here?”
“The wizard and the blacksmith god recently
made a pact. Thanks to that, I was able to use the blacksmith’s territory, which no one had access to, in the labyrinth.”
Minerva’s words were correct. This place was the realm of the blacksmith god.
Kosrun smiled proudly.
“As soon as I knew that, I immediately asked Barbabamba to change the contract. It was a bit of a struggle, but I was able to settle into the realm of the blacksmith god! I can handle all the weapons here and the level of equipment that can’t be found outside at my will! very good!”
“Can you change the contract at will like that?”
“Anyway, the reason I settled in the labyrinth is for my wish! If a better way to fulfill my wish emerges, it must be changed!”
If you think about it, the ghost’s original quest was to defeat the secret boss on the 10th floor.
But after learning the truth, a new quest arose. In order to fulfill the wishes of the contractor, it seemed possible to change the contract.
“Of course there is a price! So
I made a pact with the blacksmith god! When I fulfill my wish, I become a part of this place! It will become one of the many weapons embedded in the earth!”
“…Forever?”
“of course!”
Kosrun flirted.
“What kind of weapon will I be? Will it be a spear or a shield? I’m really looking forward to it!”
You must become a weapon and exist here forever. It was a story that would make an ordinary person
fall into despair, but Kosrun seemed to really want it.
‘I said I went crazy.’
It was as Hafran had said. Although they had only met briefly, he could tell that Kosrun’s values were twisted.
“Anyway, I heard that no one is worth coming here for the time being. that’s interesting. Are there any adventurers who have already reached the 100th floor?”
Kosrun muttered in amazement. Taesan frowned.
“Is this the 100th floor?”
“What are you talking about? The 100th floor, of course.”
Kosrun’s face asked what kind of bizarre thing he was saying.
I expected it to be in the late 90th floor, but I didn’t know that it would bring up the 100th floor.
‘If it was originally, would this be the end of the labyrinth?’
“Looking at your expression, you look like something special… but it has nothing to do with me.”
Kosrun took the hammer. A crackling sound rang out.
“I just have to do my job. you
have reached here I got Hafran’s recognition there. I think you can help me enough. So I’ll give you a quest.”
[Starting a sub-quest.]
[The dwarf Kosrun wants to create a weapon that goes beyond his limits. Help his wish come true.]
[Condition: Bring the weapons Kosrun wants.]
[Reward: Kosrun decides according to your performance.]
Level up with skills.
