Episode 640. Uncertain future (2)
Dung-dung-dung!
Inside the castle walls, the sounds of drums and songs harmonize.
In the midst of the merriment, a few alienated people were warming themselves by a bonfire in the cold outskirts.
“Damn it, everyone drinks a cool glass, but only us, what is this?”
“There’s nothing we can do about it since we lost in the lottery. But they said they’d leave a few coins, so let’s wait.”
The warriors of Northern Europe and Olympus leaned against the railing while grunting.
It’s time to enjoy the festival with only a minimum of defense troops left.
Those who broke through the worst odds and pulled out the bang were having the worst time.
Waiting for an enemy that never comes.
“Who said they were coming at this timing?”
“That’s right. Besides, they say that there are dozens of layers of defenses put up by bizarre things, whether it’s witchcraft or magic.
As long as the huge star called Gross has been defeated, the enemies won’t have the strength to fight back.
At least for tonight.
Just when you think so.
Slowly…
a black shadow rose from the ground.
“uh…?”
“What is it?”
The hand reflexively turned to the horn.
Unfortunately, the opponent’s movement was one step faster than the hand.
Quick…! Kwajik!
“Ouch!?”
“Kek….”
The speed you can’t even perceive.
The two guards collapsed with the sound of their neck bones breaking.
White teeth sprouted over the slithering shadows and devoured the corpses in an instant.
“Kick Kick! It’s quite fun, isn’t it?”
“I didn’t come here to play, so don’t act rashly.”
“How much more than that? It looks like you killed it for a while, but you still can’t go inside?”
“This is the end.”
The four knights announcing the end stood around Unknown as if escorting them.
“Good. I don’t think you’ll be disturbed by this.”
Unknown looked at the scene of the festival in the distance.
Seeing them raising their voices inspired by victory, the scars on the mask swelled
up
. A pair of daggers appeared. The goal is
to inject blood and black energy into the souls of the two members
, Alice and Teresa
.
Unknown once again melted into the darkness.

At the same time,
Jinhyeok, who is in the middle of the festival, cooked
with all his heart and soul .
A wonderful scent pierced my nose.
“A lot of them eat. If there’s anything you want to eat, just tell me.”
“oh! is the owner real? can i eat it all? Anything?”
“Ralgrak. Dalgrak. I’m so happy that tears are about to come out of the skeleton.”
“Mosquito!”
“Miyoooo!”
“It’s a perfect prey for this noble body. I think the seasoning is a little too salty, but I’ll be kind enough to understand.”
“Hehe. It’s really nice because the owner treats me well… It’s really nice…”
“Suspicious. It must have been poisoned, right?”
“Or, the food has strange contractual clauses written on it…”
The summoned beasts sat in a huddle.
While they were delighted, they rolled their eyes full of doubts on the other hand
. eat.”
“But…”
“Are you going to make me feel bad if you keep doubting me?”
“Oh, no. I’ll eat it deliciously. yomnyomnyom.”
“me too. I am eating well with no complaints!”
The Spirit Beasts hurriedly took the stacked magic stones to their mouths. Including sweet potatoes and fries, the gods also filled their stomachs.
“What’s up, Contractor?”
“That’s right. You’re not the type to do this kind of favor for free.”
“You went somewhere alone a little while ago, and it seems to have worked out well. The flowers of laughter were in full bloom, right?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you so happy.”
“Hmm. I think my brother got a confession from a pretty local girl?”
The other members also added a word to each other.
shit. What do you say if you do good deeds?
still.
It warms my heart to see everyone having fun. The fact that the war is progressing better than expected also contributed to enriching the barn of the mind.
how long has it been like that?
By the time everyone had filled their stomachs and left their seats to rest. Jinhyeok visited the forge where Orun and Hephaestus were.
Roaring! Roaring!
Wild sparks and hammering sounds.
In a space filled with the smell of men’s sweat, two blacksmiths were working hard to create a masterpiece.
“Ohh…”
Jinhyeok exclaimed involuntarily.
Before I knew it, the dagger had a fairly plausible shape.
At first glance, the appearance and magic that seem unusual.
A soft purple light bloomed along the blade.
‘The shape is so cool too?’
The appearance of a pair of snakes swallowing a sword. The blinding brilliance also showed that this dagger was a masterpiece among masterpieces.
“Keuheum! Are you here?”
“Gee, it must have taken too long for us.”
“No. Rather, I’m in the middle of concentrating, but I’m sorry I interrupted you.”
“Cheolkeolkeolkeol! Nope. I was worried because there was a bit of a blockage at the time.”
“Is there a blockage?”
Jinhyuk’s expression darkened slightly at Hephaestus’ words.
It was because there shouldn’t be any setbacks in completing the new weapon.
“That’s… I don’t have enough materials to inject purple magic. I know you worked hard to prepare it, but I think I need more quality materials.”
“You have no face.”
Hephaestus and Orun scratched their heads.
It was obvious that Jinhyeok would be irritated.
However, Jinhyeok’s expression was brighter than when he heard the story.
“No, I’m worried about something not so great… Will that part be solved with this?”
[The sub-space inventory is open!]
The huge space split left and right, and a huge amount of items poured out.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
It was the ‘Shagai root’ obtained from Gross, the ‘top-notch magic crystal’, and all kinds of by-products from the corpse of the primeval.
In an instant, the corner of the forge was filled with items with enormous magical power.
“omg!”
“This, this…”
The pupils of Hephaestus and Orun bulged out.
That’s right.
They were two masters who had made all kinds of arms and items up to now, but categorically, they had no experience in handling the materials that existed on the 50th floor.
A chance to go to a new world that no one has ever been to.
It was only natural that his craftsmanship as a blacksmith would flare up.
“Ohhh! With this, it’s possible.”
“Cancer. It’s possible! Give me two hours, no, just one hour!”
The two blacksmiths raised their hammers.
Expressing overwhelming gratitude for giving them the opportunity to greatly improve their skills.
“Ah, then, since you’re already doing it, can I ask you one more thing? There’s something I just need.”
“Just say anything.”
“This is it.”
Jinhyeok handed over a piece of paper.
Hephaestus took the paper and stroked his beard.
“Hmm. I’m asking you to make something quite hideous. A doll that can withstand 109 curses, some of which I’ve never seen before.”
“Is it possible?”
“If it’s possible, it’s possible. There are so many good materials. But, what are you going to use this for?”
The number of curses is also a number, but their combinations and combinations are sophisticated and complex beyond imagination.
What did you think of this terrifying thing? No, aside from that, I was wondering what to do with this.
“Do you know that word?”
“huh? what do you say?”
“If you know too much, you die early.”
Creepy.
Dry saliva ran down the throats of Hephaestus and Orun.
Suddenly, the hot body cooled down.
“Don’t worry, at least I won’t be using it for Olympus.”
“Hahaha! Actually, I only deal with hammers, so I don’t have any questions. When a request comes in, it’s best to do it silently, isn’t it?”
“Isn’t old Hephaestus like that too? This old man has no interest in the world at all.”
The two blacksmiths, who matched quite well, tried to look away from Jinhyeok.
like that. Once again, high-level work continued.
Shagai’s roots slowly melted in the furnace and seeped into existing daggers.
Whoops!
In an instant, a dazzling light flickered.
The long-awaited weapon was finally completed.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A huge pillar of light shot through the forge’s chimney and shot up into the sky.
Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva.
Then, after checking the detailed stats of the item, he let out a cheer.
…Amazing, Great!
[First Blade] – Purple
Difficulty: Impossible
Damage: 7200000
Durability: 2300000000 / 2500000000
Weight: 200g
Contents: A masterpiece created by melting the best items at the root of an ancient being. It was crafted by the best blacksmiths in the Tower of Trials with great care and boasts the highest attack power among the Holy Relics.
Special Effect: You can activate the ability of ‘Snake’ that you used to kill Gross, and you can use ‘Shylock’s Cruel Deal’. In addition, when the mastery level reaches a certain level, two additional hidden special effects are opened.
‘Shylock’s Cruel Deal’: If you put two conditions on the scale and pay a certain price, you can start a deal that can achieve another condition. (However, this transaction can only be used once every 30 days.)
The level of the completed item far exceeded common sense, so it was inevitable that the whole body would be thrilled.
A whopping 7.2 million attack power.
Isn’t it several tens of times higher than the Spear of the Frost Spirit or Balmung, which were considered the strongest in the past?
Even the durability was strong enough to use freely, and there was even a special effect that could grow.
‘It was definitely fun when I used Asclepius’ abilities.’
fierce and sharp.
The taste that pressured Gross was excellent.
“Heog, heo, heo…”
“Do you like it?”
Hephaestus and Orun breathed heavily.
Seeing his muscles spasm, he must have poured all of his stamina and mana into it.
“thank you. I really like it.”
performance and appearance. none of them are missing
Jinhyuk lightly swung his sword.
Awesome!
A thin incontinence formed on one of the greatswords left for materials.
for a while too.
cooong!
The blade that had been cut in half fell as it was.
The B-ranked two-handed greatsword couldn’t withstand a single blow.
‘It’s light.’
Only 200g.
The impeccable weight balance was equally satisfying.
Jinhyeok slowly injected magic into the two daggers.
Shish Shit!
Patterned snakes came to mind along the surface of the dagger.
If I could fully use this, what kind of power would I be able to unleash?
