The Genius Blacksmith’s Game

The Small World Tree (4)

The Small World Tree (4)

The Small World Tree (4)

It was the same as always.

A spear shaft that wasn’t yet completely finished.

Kwaaaaang-

Walls crumbling with a tremendous roar and flames surging in.

[HP drops below 97%.]

[HP drops below 93%.]

In the endlessly pressing flames, Hyeon-su shielded the spear shaft with his entire body, turning his back to the fire.

Right now, Hyeon-su was protecting the spear that would be completed more than his own body.

When the flames tried to devour even that spear shaft.

Kuuuung-

He endured those flames by driving Aegis down behind his back.

[The Small World Tree’s rage cannot be easily stopped!]

[If you cannot put it to sleep, everyone will die.]

The Small World Tree’s flames were hot and fierce.

Anyone in this situation would think of escape rather than crafting, thoughts of avoiding, methods of survival.

But because Hyeon-su knew this was the only way.

‘I won’t stop.’

His hands moving as if possessed. He polishes the carved spear shaft.

Finally, he connects the spear shaft and spearhead.

Click-

Yes, the reason this spear could be completed.

[Even if it breaks.]

[You have found a breakthrough in a moment of desperate crisis.]

[The completed artifact’s effects are 5% more excellent.]

It was thanks to his unbreakable will to complete it.

[The fourth legend is being written.]

A violent power is felt from the spear.

Gripping the subtle spear with a blue tint, he passes beyond the broken wall.

At that moment, the effect of the spear spreads.

Shaaaaaaa-

The melody of waves gently breaking as they clash with the earth.

[In 30 seconds, the Small World Tree will cause an explosion equivalent to 10 times the power of the first explosion.]

Pan, the nobles, and all the knights take in the sight of Hyeon-su stepping forward.

Their expressions full of fear.

And Pan thought the spear gripped in his hand was unusual.

Most spears have a single spearhead.

However, that spear had three spearheads.

He first reads the character ‘Hyeon ‘ written in the center of the three spearheads.

Then his gaze is captured by the spear shaft.

On the spear shaft, it was written like this.

‘Trident…?’

He cannot know.

He can only feel.

[The Small World Tree senses danger.]

[It causes flames to rampage toward the one person manifesting danger.]

Kuwhaaaang-

Swirling flames explode and reach toward Hyeon-su.

He will be burned.

Only bone dust will remain.

At that moment, Hyeon-su struck down with that spear in front with all his might.

The gentle melody of waves is reversed.

[Raging Waves]

A massive wave extends from behind, blocking the flames that were surging from the Small World Tree.

Kurrrrrrrr-

Fire and Water.

Two attributes engage in a struggle of strength. And the victor was Water.

A tsunami that swallowed the spewing flames.

Riding that massive tsunami, Hyeon-su advances.

[The fourth legend began with inspiration from a god.]

The Small World Tree, enraged by the failure of its attack, spews flames in all directions.

Puwhaaaak-

At that moment.

Hyeon-su swung his spear.

[That god is a deity who rules the ocean and is an existence dwelling in his world.]

[The name of that god, known as one of the three absolute deities who rules the ocean.]

At that moment.

Puwhaaaak-

This time, massive waves poured forth from all directions.

The raging waves begin to fill the garden like a sewer flooded by torrential rain.

And Hyeon-su’s eyes narrow like a hawk’s as he rides the waves.

[It is Poseidon, God of the Sea.]

In fact, Hyeon-su could feel it.

‘You don’t want this either, do you?’

The small World Tree does not want their deaths.

The one who gave the sudden quest was the small World Tree.

Yet it rampages with strange intensity.

It is like the providence of nature.

The small World Tree had to burn when stimulated and explode with rage when attacked.

Whether it wanted to or not.

Swoooosh-

The small World Tree with its withered branches swaying.

Watching it as he advanced, Hyeon-su soon felt power concentrating on himself.

[A massive explosion will occur in 5 seconds.]

Hyeon-su intuited it.

The moment that explosion happens, everyone here will die.

Strong fireballs relentlessly strike Hyeon-su as he rides the raging waves forward.

Paaang

Peoong

Pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-pung-!

Even amid that countless damage, Hyeon-su did not stop.

And five waves formed around his spear.

The five waves that collided and shattered against each other in the sky settled into Hyeon-su’s spear.

Swoooooosh-

[A massive explosion will occur in 4 seconds.]

Piiiii-

The small World Tree turns red like a heated kettle.

[In 3 seconds…]

Before that, Hyeon-su reached it first and thrust his spear with all his might before the small World Tree.

At that moment.

The five waves that had settled into Hyeon-su’s spear.

[In 2 seconds…]

Those waves simultaneously engulfed the small World Tree from five different places.

Kwarrrrrrrrrk-

[In 1 second…]

And finally.

[The small World Tree’s rage subsides.]

Hyeon-su felt relieved.

And in his relief, he now knew what he had to do.

Swoooooosh-

The flames that had been spewing from the small World Tree were sucked back into it.

Conversely, the raging waves soon calmed down.

The moment Hyeon-su pulled out the spear he held and struck down once more.

Water began to rise as if poured into a fish tank.

As the water began to rise, he felt the World Tree’s power trying to absorb him.

Finally, a permanent sea was created centered around the small World Tree.

Chwaaaaah-

The melody of waves unfolds again.

And Hyeon-su felt it.

The small World Tree’s branches seemed to sway invisibly.

As if saying thank you, but Hyeon-su felt something completely different.

That it was grateful not for saving it from withering away, but for something else.

And finally the garden began to change.

[The small World Tree is reviving.]

The current appearance was literally the sea covering up to the center of the small World Tree.

Naturally, the nobles and knights, and Pan were floating on the water. But the water rapidly receded.

As the water receded, soil formed around the small World Tree.

As soil filled up, thousands of stems began extending at exponential speed.

In just 10 seconds, those stems sprouted from seeds, took shape, began to grow, and created a complete forest.

[The small World Tree regains its complete form.]

The small World Tree that had regained its complete form. As the water receded, everyone came to stand in the garden.

Pan looked around.

Half the garden was sea.

The other half seemed to form an island centered around the small World Tree.

What surprised Hyeon-su most was this.

[The small World Tree bears the most special fruit in the world.]

[You can check the representative fruits.]

Pan was entranced by the brilliance.

One among the countless fruits hanging on the vast small World Tree.

That thing shaped like rice.

The moment he saw it with only ten grains of rice, Pan collapsed.

[It is a fruit with ten grains of rice.]

[If you sow the rice grains in the ground, abundant crops will grow even in the most barren land.]

Pan had been in denial.

The legendary fruit that Ben had spoken of.

Then. Hyeon-su, watching him, spoke.

“The His Majesty Ben I saw was this kind of person.”

Pan makes eye contact with him.

Hyeon-su speaks with a small smile.

Contrary to those words, their preconceived image of Ben.

“Only for the people.”

A cranky and harsh personality.

“The people’s.”

Suspicion that he might have dementia.

“A king for the people.”

An old man trapped in memories and delusions.

“That was His Majesty Ben.”

“….”

The nobles and knights present were all left speechless.

They had thought he was a king trapped in memories and delusions.

But now, that grain would ease the people’s hunger.

“Kuhuhuhuhuhuk.”

Many nobles and knights present wept sadly.

The sin of defying the king’s wishes and commands and trying to destroy the small World Tree.

The sin of thinking he had dementia.

They thought they would gladly accept all those sins.

And Ben entered that place.

No explanation was needed.

Ben, who had already heard the story from outside, looked upon his foolish retainers.

“Damn fools.”

But that was the end.

I will beat you to death.

I will cut off your heads.

There were no words about exterminating three generations. Of course, he would make them pay for their sins, but they were ultimately objects of love and hate for Ben.

And Hyeon-su felt his heart pounding.

A bright light formed from the small World Tree.

[Emergency Quest: The Small World Tree’s Rage Complete]

[You have calmed its rage and furthermore revived the small World Tree.]

[You have completed it with remarkable achievement.]

From the bright light, a firewood-like material descended before Hyeon-su.

[You have obtained Supreme Grade Small World Tree.]

[This is the most precious 1% material obtainable from a small World Tree.]

Originally, he was supposed to obtain an intermediate grade small World Tree.

But it had changed to supreme grade.

Ben muttered beside him.

“I cannot understand it. A small World Tree is ultimately a tree. You can obtain materials by cutting the tree, and over time it recovers and the process repeats.”

Ben was also seeing something like this for the first time.

“But now, the small World Tree has offered its material on its own.”

Hyeon-su knew the truth.

Earlier, the small World Tree seemed to be saying thank you.

It wasn’t just for preventing it from withering.

“The small World Tree seems to cherish His Majesty as well.”

“….”

Ben was left speechless.

Of course, it might have been just abstract words.

Swoooosh-

The vast leaves swaying in the wind seemed to answer him.

Suddenly, his appearance from age 17 until now flashed by.

After bringing the small World Tree, he had never once left this fellow’s side.

Sometimes he slept beside it, sometimes he watered it.

Sometimes he confided worries he couldn’t even tell his retainers.

Yes.

The old man and the tree cherished each other.

And Hyeon-su….

‘At this rate, aren’t I a tragic male protagonist?’

You know those types, right?

Protagonists with that kind of illness where they collapse at the slightest thing.

[Fatigue is accumulating.]

Come to think of it, Hyeon-su hadn’t slept a wink during the three days of making the spear.

Also, he felt mental fatigue from the endless tension in the battle to stop the small World Tree.

Hyeon-su’s vision spins.

“…I need to sleep a bit.”

[You fall into the status ailment: Fainting.]

Ben watches Hyeon-su collapse.

Pan, who had approached at some point, watches.

The nobles who had walked over watch, and the knights support him while looking at his sleeping face.

They were all looking with completely different expressions than before.

And Hyeon-su, being pulled into the abyss, recalled a notification he had forgotten while concentrating.

‘What was that…?’

That notification had come after making the fourth legendary artifact.

[You are approaching a special name.]

Finally, he fell completely asleep.

Special User Management Team.

Employees Kim Tae-seok and Lee Ji-hee.

The two people looked at the fainted Hyeon-su with surprised expressions.

This notification was floating before them.

[User Hyeon-su is approaching a special name.]

[Upon creating a total of six legends, he will have the qualification to grasp that name.]

A special name.

It was such a sublime and beautiful name.

It was also not something to be chosen for, but a name obtained only through one’s own power.

Tae-seok smiled bitterly.

Worldwide, a total of 11 people received this notification.

Among those 11 users, only 3 users actually grasped the name.

In the Korean server, the Asghan server, 10 great legends exist.

These 10 great legends are those who have long represented that continent.

Sword King Barad.

Azure Sky Ben.

Archmage Luwon.

Absolute Shield Peya.

Divine Archer Baneka…

And so on

Countless names. Among those positions, vacant seats also exist.

“It’s a first.”

Kim Tae-seok muttered with an expression of disbelief.

“It’s the first time worldwide that a non-combat profession has approached the 10 great legends.”

The 10 great legends are different from legendary classes.

It refers to those who currently possess the most ultimate power.

Even users with legendary classes, many couldn’t even reach the toes of the 10 great legends.

Suddenly, Lee Ji-hee became curious about this.

“What will Hyeon’s name be?”

Tae-seok’s thoughts didn’t last long.

“10 great legends. Master Craftsman Hyeon.”

It was the name that would be engraved on him in the future.
