The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
Giant King Hunt (2)
Giant King Hunt (2)
Hyeon-su also loved stories of heroes.
Greek and Roman mythology.
The hero Heracles was very charming.
Especially Heracles, who swept away the giant race that threatened Olympus with just a club, looked so cool.
That’s why he had carved various trees for a month.
Since he was already familiar with how to make clubs, it was just to create something closest to Heracles’ club.
Hyeon-su is confident.
That he made at least a hundred of them.
Of course, the source of Heracles’ power wasn’t the club.
It just inspired Hyeon-su.
‘A club that can momentarily output power equal to Heracles, the god of strength.’
The Giant King has 300% increased regeneration against sharp weapons.
However, clubs belong to blunt weapons and are unrelated to that.
Therefore, he thought it might be able to cover that regeneration aspect the soldier mentioned.
So he crafted it using Emergency Crafting.
Although Heracles wasn’t strong because of his club, so that club could momentarily make him like Heracles.
Custom Crafting, Emergency Crafting’s effect application rate.
He ultimately varies according to the highest understanding of artifacts and crafting methods.
Hyeon-su is certain.
That he’s the only one in this world who can make a club most similar to the one Heracles held.
Thus it was completed.
(Heracles’ Club)
Grade: Unique
Durability: Infinite
Attack Power: 604
Restriction: No restriction for creator, Level 150~300.
Special Abilities:
·Strength 76.
·16% increased attack power against giant-type monsters.
·Active Skill Heracles’ Strength.
Description: A club born from Emergency Crafting, the club closest to legend containing the creator’s experience, knowledge, and original power.
(Heracles’ Strength)
Active Skill
Level: None.
Effect:
·You can concentrate the power of your possessed stats into the club.
·Stats decrease by the amount concentrated, but that much strength is focused into the club.
[You can concentrate your possessed stats into the club.]
However, the skill called Heracles’ Strength has a clear disadvantage.
Because it burns other stats to temporarily raise strength.
‘But I’m different.’
And Hyeon-su had planned all of this from the beginning when crafting the club.
There are no useless stats in Ares.
However, stats that aren’t currently needed for that person can exist.
Hyeon-su is ultimately a blacksmith.
He geometrically possesses one stat that combat job classes can never have.
‘I’ll go all-in with Dexterity.’
[Strength is amplified.]
[Strength is amplified.]
Dexterity isn’t needed at all in this current battle, and Hyeon-su’s Dexterity stat is tremendously high.
‘I’ll go all-in with Charisma.’
Charisma was the same.
When he burned both of these stats completely, the number reached 1,400.
Yet he didn’t suffer side effects like his character becoming weaker.
[Strength increases by 510%.]
Yes, Hyeon-su had created the strongest weapon optimized for himself in that brief moment.
After stopping the Giant King with Lord’s Command, he smiled. The creature had sent Rook flying to this place.
‘You try flying once too.’
Kwaaaaang-
When he was about to chase the flying creature, Rook asked a question.
Who that god was.
“Heracles, the god of strength.”
Hyeon-su flew up into the sky with all his might, chasing the creature.
Flap-
[Wolf Leap]
[Fly up to a maximum of 30m instantly and land.]
The Active Skill dwelling in Fenrir’s Boots.
‘There’s no time.’
Hearing the soldier’s words, Hyeon-su predicted various things.
He mustn’t give the creature even a moment’s respite.
The Giant King Hyeon-su heard about was the most intelligent creature among all boss monsters so far.
You could tell just by how it immediately hunted humans.
Moreover, as time passed, the creature was regaining its lost power.
[10 minutes have elapsed.]
[The Giant King regains its lost power.]
[Giant King Lv.291]
[The Giant King’s final level is 383.]
It was a bone-chilling number.
It was a higher final level than the previous disaster, Jack.
And neither Risel nor Bark were here.
If that thing regained all its power, there was a high possibility that even the Araham territory would fall.
‘Only now.’
This was the only time he could catch it.
He had to use its intelligence against it.
The Giant King, who had been struck by the club and was rolling around, shook his head and tried to regain his senses.
As it raised its body, it roared at Hyeon-su.
“Krhaaaaaaak!”
At that moment, Hyeon-su swung his club once more.
Kwaaaaaaaang-
“Krheek!”
[The Giant King’s HP drops below 90%.]
Hyeon-su realized he had encountered another problem.
‘Even with a club possessing this kind of power, its HP only drops by that much?’
It meant he would need to deal at least eighteen more hits.
‘There’s no time.’
Kwaaaaang-!
Kwaaaaaaang-
The greatest fear of boss monsters lies in their characteristics.
Of course, regeneration could also be one of its traits, but there could be other powers.
Moreover, the creature’s HP amount itself was six times higher than Hyeon-su’s.
Kwaaaaang-
When Hyeon-su swung once more, the creature was slammed into the ground.
The struggling creature’s fist soon struck Hyeon-su with a powerful blow.
Kwaaaaaaang-
Hyeon-su was sent flying backward.
[HP drops below 77%.]
Even though he was merely hit by a blind swing, over 20% of his HP had dropped.
Hyeon-su realized.
His club shaved off 5% at a time, while the creature’s fist shaved off over 20% at a time.
He would die if he allowed four hits, but the creature could still allow ten more hits.
Moreover, Heracles’ Club was ultimately born from emergency crafting.
‘Twelve more times.’
Kwaang-
Kwaaaaaaang-
Kwaaaaaaaang-
‘Eight more times.’
Kwaaaang
Kwaaaaang
‘Six more times.’
Then.
“Krhaaaaaaak!”
[Giant’s Rage.]
[You fall into the abnormal status: Fear.]
[You fall into stun status for 3 seconds.]
Hyeon-su’s face contorted miserably. His entire body wouldn’t obey him.
The Giant King, with raised eyes, slowly brought his fist down to the ground.
Kwajajajajak-
A massive shockwave erupted, literally tearing Hyeon-su’s body to shreds.
[HP drops below 60%.]
[HP drops below 40%.]
[HP drops below 10%…]
[HP reaches 0%…]
Hyeon-su’s eyes widened greatly.
The power of just one blow.
Of course, it must have been one of the Giant King’s powerful abilities.
And the Giant King smiled, thinking of Hyeon-su who would have been crushed like a bug.
He was more pathetic than expected.
If not for that club.
But at that moment, Hyeon-su’s body was enveloped in brilliant light.
That light was beautiful enough to steal the Giant King’s vision, even if briefly.
Paaaaat-
[You possess Asnium.]
[HP has dropped below 10%.]
[HP recovers to 15%.]
One of the reasons Hyeon-su hadn’t yet made a good artifact with Asnium.
It was because Asnium was an amazing ore that granted the power of self-healing just by possessing it.
When the Giant King regained the vision he had lost to the light, he looked at three ores rising around Hyeon-su.
[Anti is activated.]
[Crafting three artifacts is possible.]
The Giant King realized.
That the man who nearly died from one of his attacks was insignificant.
But looking at the club in his hand, he learned one thing.
When he made something, he could exert strange power.
But thinking about it, was there a need for him to fight this man now?
Srrrrr-
Watching the club crumble from his grasp, he realized.
In the end, those powers were merely temporary.
And when he regained his complete power, he felt he could easily tear that guy apart.
Let’s run away until that thing is completed, then return.
“Kukekekekeke!”
The Giant King burst into dark laughter.
Kuwhaaang-!
And he leaped diagonally up to about 70m as if to pierce the sky.
The Giant King was confident of victory. A mere 30 minutes would be enough.
During that time, he would master all his power.
Eventually, his own victory….
“Got you.”
The Giant King’s senses are special.
Especially the Giant King, whose hearing was highly developed, tilted his head at that unidentifiable sound.
At that moment.
Puwhaaaak-!
Something unidentifiable pierced through him from behind.
“Kuheeeek!”
What had pierced through his back was an unidentifiable spear wrapped in light.
The Giant King, writhing in pain, falls.
On the contrary.
“Wolf Leap.”
The Man soared into the sky.
The Giant King intended to beat down the one who had flown up in one go.
Then he realized.
“….”
In the sky.
He could not be free.
Especially the very idea that a being whose balance was broken in the sky could attack an enemy made no sense.
On the contrary, the one who had jumped up in a stance ready to attack was different.
Himself falling upside down and The Man flying up properly.
Two swords were created around The Man.
Shiver-
Goosebumps rose on the Giant King’s back. Then he soon realized.
Squirm squirm
The Man was clever and great, but his own regeneration ability was far superior.
What had pierced through his back was ultimately a weapon.
His body recovered at an exponentially fast rate.
Because of this, the Giant King was certain.
Even if those two swords were swung, he would be victorious.
***
Hyeon-su, who had soared up, made eye contact with the falling Giant King.
The creature’s eyes mocked him.
Hyeon-su also came to understand the meaning of that mockery.
‘Even if I swing the Dragon Light Sword and the fifth custom crafted sword in sequence….’
He couldn’t kill the Giant King.
Even if he swung them sequentially, the creature would already be recovering.
And the moment they landed on the ground together, he would be killed by the Giant King.
But Hyeon-su’s eyes were still sharp.
‘Even so….’
He would somehow desperately try to kill it.
He didn’t know giving up.
Even knowing these two swords couldn’t kill the creature, he wouldn’t despair until the end.
The fame he would gain by killing it, Quest rewards, various things.
Especially the entire Gale Unit he could only obtain by killing it.
No, perhaps if he couldn’t kill it here, he might not even be able to get Kan from the Gale Unit.
The creature would soon turn the Araham territory into ruins.
Hyeon-su reached out to grasp one of the swords.
At that moment.
[This is a moment of crisis.]
[The God of Blacksmiths title shines brightly.]
Hyeon-su’s eyes flashed open.
The God of Blacksmiths title.
A power that unlocked abilities even Hyeon-su didn’t know about.
[You learn about the hidden function in the divine secret technique Anti.]
Hearing that notification, Hyeon-su felt ecstatic.
“Kugegegeге.”
Taking in the sight of the mocking Giant King, Hyeon-su’s lips twisted.
“…You’re going to die.”
At those confident words, the Giant King became suspicious of him.
The two swords that had been floating around The Man.
He grasped both swords.
Kwhaaaak-
[The hidden function is a 1% chance to swing two weapons simultaneously.]
He struck down with both swords at the same time.
The Giant King’s thinking became paralyzed.
For some reason, his body was rapidly cooling down.
Zzzzzzzzak-
A single dragon striking down from the sky slammed him powerfully into the ground.
Kiheeeeeek-!
Kwhaaaaaaang
The Giant King, struck down by the dragon while frozen, could soon tell that he was crumbling away.
Kuwoong-!
A thrilling notification came to Hyeon-su, who had belatedly crashed into the ground.
[You have hunted the Giant King.]
