The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The Last Knight (2)
The Last Knight (2)
Marquis Lookburg.
The letter he delivered through Look contained many stories unfolding at the border.
From Changcheon gathering nobles to display his power to the small wars that were fought repeatedly.
At the end of the letter, it was written like this:
[I want to make them feel what I felt when I met you at the Royal Palace.]
Hyeon-su was puzzled.
Why would he, who had been demoted, suddenly want to lend strength to Barad?
It was Look who explained this.
“Father and His Majesty shared the same intention. To protect the small Goyard Kingdom. But their methods were different. That incident happened because of those different methods.”
Look looked at Hyeon-su as if he were looking at someone remarkable.
“But when the King heard that you serve under him, he made a decision and was demoted. However, Father came to understand His Majesty’s will while in the Araham territory.”
Hyeon-su showed a surprised expression.
Did just one person like himself cause such a thing?
“Father is dreaming. Of a Goyard Kingdom where the power of sword and blacksmith coexist.”
Hyeon-su immediately sent a reply.
If what Marquis Lookburg wanted was an overwhelming entrance like that time, how should he appear?
Fortunately, Nel was near the border area.
[Nel: Nobles from the Fraham Kingdom keep appearing, and the morale of the Goyard Kingdom is declining more and more. The third knight just fell.]
Listening to her report, Hyeon-su quickly rode his horse and moved.
When he arrived at the border, Nel said:
[Nel: Although it’s not a real war, breaking the enemy’s morale will be of great help in gaining territory and rising in rank.]
And Hyeon-su knew how to break the enemy’s morale.
[Hyeon-su: What level is Changcheon’s descendant?]
[Nel: 340. Unfortunately, defeating Changcheon’s descendant seems difficult. He’s now armed with all unique artifacts. Even his spear is the closest to legendary.]
Hyeon-su’s current level is only 258.
The level difference is over 80.
Then something flashed through Hyeon-su’s mind.
[Hyeon-su: I’ll give it a try. I have a method. What are the guild members doing now?]
After explaining his plan, Hyeon-su stood beside Barad.
Looking at Barad’s surprised expression, he gave a small smile.
“I’ll go.”
[Allied morale rises significantly.]
[Through you, the bond between Barad and the kingdom’s eight greatest nobles, which had been severed for so long, has been reconnected.]
[A new story begins.]
Ding!
[Emergency Quest: The Last Knight]
Grade: S
Restriction: One who triggered a new episode
Reward: Kingdom contribution, Changcheon’s heart.
Penalty upon failure: Decreased intimacy with Barad and Changcheon.
Description: Completely reverse the tide of the small war by achieving victory over Changcheon’s descendant.
And Hyeon-su showed a puzzled expression.
It was good that a quest notification appeared for Hyeon-su, who was already planning to fight Changcheon’s descendant.
However, what he couldn’t understand was this:
‘Changcheon’s heart?’
For now, Hyeon-su faced Changcheon’s descendant and said:
“The last knight. Baron Hyeon-su.”
***
Special User Management Team.
Representative Lee Se-jin, along with Kim Tae-seok and Lee Ji-hee, were present.
Tae-seok tapped away at the keyboard.
The comprehensive data values of Hyeon-su and Changcheon’s descendant appeared on the monitor screen.
[Changcheon’s descendant 14,100.]
[Hyeon-su 11,711.]
This data value is similar to an NPC’s level.
An NPC’s level is comprehensive data that combines skill power, physical attack and defense power, and equipped artifacts.
“He can’t win.”
Kim Tae-seok spoke with a confident voice.
Lee Ji-hee also nodded this time.
“A difference of 2,300. And Changcheon’s descendant is someone with remarkable skill too.”
The only thing not indicated in this data was skill.
The problem was that Hyeon-su’s swordsmanship and combat skills were only slightly above average.
However, Changcheon’s descendant was the finest spearman personally selected by Changcheon.
Yes, the data clearly showed it.
Hyeon-su would lose.
“There doesn’t seem to be any suitable method.”
Divine Emergency Crafting.
Hyeon-su had that special power. Besides that, there was also the power called Anti.
The problem was that both Anti and Emergency Crafting had casting times.
An average of 7 seconds. Even at the fastest, 2 seconds.
The problem is that in this short time, Changcheon’s descendant would already have his spear pierced through Hyeon-su’s neck and more.
Lee Se-jin stroked his chin and said.
“It will be a disappointing matter for User Hyeon-su.”
Changcheon’s Heart written in the rewards.
Though Hyeon-su didn’t know, it was content created by Barad’s influence on Ben through assassin Brock.
If he wins this duel, Hyeon-su opens up possibilities for not only contribution points in Goyard Kingdom but many other rewards.
“Since Fraham Kingdom is a nation of blacksmiths, there are truly many materials. What do you think would be the material User Hyeon-su needs most?”
Lee Ji-hee and Kim Tae-seok.
Both spoke simultaneously.
“Small World Tree.”
“Small World Tree.”
“We all had the same thought.”
Yes, the Small World Tree.
What would it be used for?
It could be used in crafting bows and spear shafts.
And this Small World Tree was the finest material for making bows and spears that Users hadn’t obtained yet.
Like this, gaining Ben’s heart opens up infinite possibilities.
Beyond just the Small World Tree.
There was something Lee Se-jin couldn’t understand.
‘Why did a sudden Quest appear?’
The comprehensive data they saw clearly indicated that Hyeon-su would lose.
To a degree that couldn’t be bridged even by skill gap.
But sudden Quests are different from regular Quests.
Regular Quests give possibilities that can be gradually solved later.
But sudden Quests are triggered if there’s even a 1% possibility right now.
‘What could that possibility be?’
Ultimately, the Special User Management Team and Pureum Corporation are human.
Supercomputer Ares always watches billions of Users and remembers the data they create.
Then.
Bzzzz-
Representative Lee Se-jin felt the vibration from his mobile phone.
His mobile phone was special.
Special events that might occur in Ares often appeared as messages.
[The Wolf’s Egg absorbs nutrient rate through the duel between User Hyeon-su and Changcheon’s descendant.]
The current nutrient rate User Hyeon-su had created was 31%.
Even this much would birth a sub-boss level wolf.
‘It’s certainly an event worthy of raising the Wolf’s Egg’s nutrient rate.’
The more excellently he won, the higher the nutrient rate Hyeon-su would acquire.
‘If he wins, how much would it rise?’
Lee Se-jin focused on the screen.
***
Changcheon’s descendant Prak frowned as he looked at the one who introduced himself as Baronet Hyeon-su.
When he slightly turned his head, he could see Changcheon’s lip movements.
‘It’s Blacksmith Hyeon.’
Changcheon also recognized through the name Hyeon-su and the story that he was the protagonist of those rumors.
He recalled the spear he had received as a gift from Changcheon.

Description: A life’s masterpiece created by an outstanding blacksmith of Fraham Kingdom, closest to legend. When it doesn’t meet its match, it sometimes displays the power of actual legend.
The spear His Majesty bestowed upon him was magnificent.
‘You dare challenge me who possesses such a spear?’
Him, who possessed this amazing spear?
At this moment, Prak believed without doubt that he had become invincible.
And the one called Hyeon said.
“You’re wearing quite impressive things?”
Prak misunderstood.
Thinking it was sarcasm about trying to win through the power of artifacts.
Prak spoke in a loud voice.
“Artifacts are also the power of that nation, and if a knight possesses them, aren’t they his power! But how can you say such things just because I wear good artifacts!?”
Mocking laughter spread from Fraham Kingdom’s camp.
And Goyard Kingdom’s camp agreed with this too.
Prak, who had crushed his words, looked at his spear with an affectionate gaze.
Hissss-
The form of a snake flicking its tongue appeared and disappeared.
The offspring of Ouroboros dwelling in this spear was special.
Even when meeting an opponent similar to himself, it never trembled before any fear.
Moreover, as long as it didn’t encounter a superior artifact, according to the passive skill ‘Snake That Fears Nothing,’ it would become endlessly strong and display legendary-grade power.
And now the snake.
[Ouroboros Spear reveals its ferocity as it cannot find a worthy opponent.]
[It displays power superior to usual.]
Displayed its usual arrogance.
Slowly, the soldier’s hand was raised to the sky.
And Prak’s face, which had been mocking Hyeon-su, hardened.
“Huuuuu…”
Because tremendous intimidation began emanating from the swordsmanship stance he was displaying.
***
[Changcheon’s Descendant Prak Lv.340]
Hyeon-su steadies his breathing.
He knew it too.
The difference between himself and Prak, descendant of Changcheon, was clear.
However, he recalls what Sword King Barad had taught him.
‘Create a breakthrough in any situation.’
‘Create a breakthrough in any situation.’
That breakthrough. The plan only he knew was already being realized.
The heat haze rising from activating the Sword King’s swordsmanship momentarily dominates the battlefield.
The moment the soldier lowered his raised hand, the duel began.
Kwaaaang-!
Prak’s spear and Hyeon-su’s sword strike clash fiercely.
Chiiiii-!
As he blocked the spear, a snake that suddenly appeared from the spear shaft bit Hyeon-su’s body.
Kwajak-!
[HP drops below 94%.]
He wasn’t just taking hits.
Just as Barad had taught him.
And just as Hyeon-su had grown over time.
“Snake Festival.”
“Sword’s Cry.”
After exchanging endless attacks and defenses, they both retreated and simultaneously unleashed their skills.
Snake Festival was a power where hundreds of snakes moved as spears.
Kukwakwakwakwakwakwak-!
Hyeon-su was endlessly pierced through.
However, it wasn’t just Hyeon-su.
The descendant of Changcheon also suffered massive damage.
[HP drops below 60%.]
[Descendant of Changcheon’s HP drops below 80%.]
But the difference in power between Hyeon-su and Changcheon was clear.
‘Even with the same number of attacks…’
Hyeon-su’s HP had dropped by an incomparably large amount, and the descendant of Changcheon had more skills that unleashed overwhelming power.
And a power that Snake Festival didn’t have but Sword’s Cry did.
[All senses of those recognized as enemies within a 20m radius are paralyzed for 3 seconds.]
Prak made a quick judgment.
‘It’s over.’
The man called Hyeon would have tried to use this 3-second paralysis state.
He would have tried to pour all his strength into a single point attack for 3 seconds.
But Prak unleashed the most powerful force dwelling in the Ouroboros Spear.
It was the Snake Explosion.
Chiiiii-
Dozens of snakes scattered from his spear while Prak was simultaneously paralyzed.
The snakes exploded when they touched enemies.
The first snake that flew forward exploded.
Kwaaaang-!
A blood storm and thick dust clouds filled Changcheon’s vision.
Watching the snakes crawling into the dust clouds, the descendant of Changcheon anticipated the consecutive explosions about to occur, then showed a puzzled expression.
‘Hawks? Why are hawks suddenly flying in?’
Two hawks flew into the dust clouds.
Soon, a shocking notification was heard.
[The Ouroboros Spear encounters a legend.]
[The spear is afraid.]
The spear he held.
The spear reacting to the artifact his opponent wore was feeling fear.
But something even stranger happened.
The snakes that had been crawling into the dust clouds suddenly began to freeze.
Jjeojeojeojeojeojeojeok-
What was even more absurd.
[Extreme fear paralyzes the spear’s functions.]
[The Ouroboros Spear temporarily drops below Unique grade.]
[The Ouroboros Spear temporarily drops below Epic grade…]
[The Ouroboros Spear temporarily drops below Rare grade…]
[The Ouroboros Spear refuses to fight him!]
“Uh…?”
In Prak’s mind flashed the image of himself shouting at Hyeon-su.
‘Artifacts are also the power of that nation, and if a knight possesses them, aren’t they his power! So how can you say such things just because he wears good artifacts!?’
‘Artifacts are also the power of that nation, and if a knight possesses them, aren’t they his power! So how can you say such things just because he wears good artifacts!?’
Soon Hyeon-su broke through the dust clouds and stepped forward, and seeing the artifact he held, Prak stepped backward.
***
Hyeon-su heard the notification in the dust clouds.
[A gift from Risel has arrived.]
[A gift from Bark has arrived.]
In his right hand, the Dragon Light Sword.
In his left hand, Aegis.
Hyeon-su, equipped with one legend and another shield closest to legendary grade, walks out through the dust clouds.
[Ouroboros hides deep within the spear.]
Prak shouted in panic.
“Come out, come out!”
Ouroboros, a snake more powerful than any other snake in the world.
Prak couldn’t understand why the creature had fled.
Then Hyeon-su, pointing the Dragon Light Sword at Prak, sneered.
“No snake can display its cunning before a dragon.”
