The Genius Blacksmith’s Game

The Genius Blacksmith’s Game

The Genius Blacksmith’s Game

Lord (3)

Lord (3)

Lord (3)

Hyeon-su led his guild members to visit the Araham territory and accepted the 50 soldiers who had been waiting for him.

The reason he brought his guild members was because the soldiers and his guild members would be working together from now on.

And all the guild members received the title of baronet and became knights.

And Hyeon-su’s heart trembled as he headed to the Balas territory.

‘I wonder if everyone is doing well?’

On the day he left, they all looked at Hyeon-su with longing.

Also, Hyeon-su couldn’t help but smile at the pleasant thoughts that came to mind.

‘The Lord will be very surprised, won’t he?’

When Hyeon-su had visited the Balas territory before, he was just one insignificant, shabby user.

The only thing exceptional about him was his skill as a blacksmith.

At that time, Lord Bellin seemed like a truly high-ranking person.

It couldn’t be helped.

A lord who leads a territory, no matter how small a frontier it might be, was certainly a remarkable person.

That same person was now returning as someone new.

His steps were light.

When Hyeon-su finally reached the Balas territory, he heard a notification.

Ding!

[Hidden Quest: Noble is being changed.]

[Hidden Quest: One Who Returned as a Noble]

Grade: S

Restriction: One to whom Bellin conveyed her intentions.

Reward: May be able to become a lord, Potion crafted by Bellin.

Penalty upon failure: Favorability with Bellin drops to the lowest level.

Description: Bellin judged that she alone was insufficient to protect the Balas lordship. Therefore, she once mentioned giving you a share when you left. As she feared, Baron Ronso has taken control of the Balas territory. Annihilate that group completely.

Hyeon-su’s face crumpled. Come to think of it, he seemed to have heard something from Fer.

‘I’m worried. Baron Ronso, that greedy man, I wonder if he’ll just stand by and watch this.’

‘I’m worried. Baron Ronso, that greedy man, I wonder if he’ll just stand by and watch this.’

‘I’m worried. Baron Ronso, that greedy man, I wonder if he’ll just stand by and watch this.’

Moreover, they seemed to have already finished taking control of the Balas territory.

He also learned one hidden fact.

‘Bellin’s potion?’

Bellin’s potion.

In other words, it meant a potion she had made.

This was a completely different field from blacksmithing.

‘Did Bellin have talent in alchemy?’

He didn’t know for what reason she had hidden that fact.

For now, he put those thoughts aside.

Hyeon-su quickly conveyed this fact to his guild members.

Baron Ronso’s subordinates blocking the entrance.

They seemed to be controlling the entry of outsiders.

First, they quickly dealt with them and then immediately climbed onto the roof.

And they moved quickly and silently.

This stealthy movement was possible thanks to the buff skill of Belia, the Saint’s child.

[Stealthy Steps]

[Hides presence and completely eliminates footsteps.]

And Hyeon-su’s face contorted when he witnessed a scene from the rooftop.

He saw a young blacksmith boy who was soaking wet.

A knight in front of him was lighting a match.

Hyeon-su remembered the boy.

The boy named Karan had asked when Hyeon-su was teaching him.

‘I want to become a great blacksmith like you someday, Hyeon-su!’

‘I want to become a great blacksmith like you someday, Hyeon-su!’

‘I want to become a great blacksmith like you someday, Hyeon-su!’

Hyeon-su immediately activated the Lord’s Command and made that match stop.

“…I’ll kill you all.”

[The effect of the Viscount title shines forth.]

[A more special appearance notification applied for 3 days rings out.]

The knights’ expressions were colored with bewilderment at the sudden appearance of a viscount.

Knight Pon, who had just lit the match, was the most surprised.

‘A viscount… he said…?’

Viscount.

One of the high-ranking nobles.

Pon hurriedly assessed their numbers.

Including the viscount, four knights.

‘The most brilliant star, could it be that the negotiator we’ve heard about recently…?’

Pon was certainly bewildered. But he quickly assessed the battle situation first.

The total number of allies who entered this place was 50.

The soldiers numbered 200.

Moreover, Baron Ronso was the king of this entire area.

Reinforcements could come at any time from Baron Ronso’s territory.

‘He became a viscount in one stroke as a national hero.’

Pon smiled like a cunning snake.

‘Just four knights? One blacksmith and four knights, is that it?’

His tension loosely relaxed.

He realized how ridiculous Hyeon-su’s words “I’ll kill you all” from a moment ago had been.

So he said.

“You must be the one who will become the new owner of the Balas territory? Welcome. Lord Viscount, and this is good news.”

Pon smiled brightly.

“Now sit in the position of Bell, who will become the ‘former’ lord, and rule the north together with Baron Ronso. Baron Ronso will provide you with many things and you’ll be able to generate enormous profits.”

This was true.

If he cooperated with Baron Ronso, he would have nothing to fear.

Fon glanced at the knights.

“Fighting us will not be an easy task for Baron Hyeon-su.”

Because of this fact, Hyeon-su should obediently comply at this moment…

“Bullshit.”

“…?”

Fon was bewildered.

Hyeon-su gave his command.

“Don’t leave a single one alive. Kill them all.”

That command made Fon feel absurd instead.

Looking at their current forces alone, they held an overwhelming advantage.

Especially Baron Hyeon-su was the easiest person to kill.

He was just a blacksmith, wasn’t he?

And Ger also had many concerns.

‘There are too many enemies.’

He swallowed his dry saliva.

Moreover, Hyeon-su being a blacksmith seemed unable to endure this.

But then…

Something strange happened.

Drip-

At this moment, their hearing seemed to be maximized.

The knights had poured oil on dozens of blacksmiths.

The oil that soaked the blacksmiths’ bodies floated up into mid-air like small droplets.

“Wow…”

Someone unconsciously let out an exclamation.

Thousands of small oil droplets floating in mid-air.

The moment a knight touched one of those oil droplets with his fingertip as if enchanted.

Swoooosh-

Those oil droplets turned around and attacked the knights instead.

Hyeon-su moved his left arm this time.

Dozens of blacksmiths simultaneously followed his arm movement and were pushed to one side.

Swoosh-

Those who were pushed away wore puzzled expressions, and soon a knight standing on the roof shot an arrow.

Thwack-

Fon saw the arrow that hit precisely in the chest of a knight standing beside him.

It was just an ordinary arrow.

But then…

Whoosh-

Suddenly flames ignited from the arrow, and soon spread over that knight and covered the bodies of the knights in that area.

Fon was shocked by the heat covering his face.

However, the people here were different from those in reality.

They had superhuman bodies different from those in reality.

Of course, it would be a lie to say it wasn’t hot.

But it wasn’t enough to make them lose consciousness.

“Ma, mages!”

“Hurry and put out the fire!”

Whoosh-

Water-related magic manifested by a mage surged like waves and extinguished the flames attached to the knights’ bodies.

Only about 20% damage.

Over 40 knights mocked the knights on the rooftop.

Knights of Gwangmyeong with hammer and anvil emblems drawn on their backs.

Fon and the knights were dumbfounded.

[Knight Fon Lv.318]

[Knight Gale Lv.309]

‘How dare mere Outsiders…’

NPCs are the masters of this land.

In reality, 80% of Outsiders couldn’t match the level of existing NPCs.

Sword King Barad’s level currently reaches the 450s.

However, even the official ranking 1st place hasn’t reached level 400 yet.

The difference in power between Outsider knights and NPC knights was clear.

And if there were only four of them, it was even more ridiculous.

Then.

[Great Child.]

Two knights descended to the ground while two knights still guarded the rooftop.

And when a woman who appeared to be a priest offered a prayer, gentle divine power emanated from the three people’s bodies.

[Increases all stats by 18%.]

[Increases attack power and defense by 17%.]

[Increases skill damage by 20%.]

Bark and Risel stood back to back.

The number of knights totaled over 40.

In this situation, Bark spoke first.

“I’ll take 15.”

“Then I’ll take exactly 15 as well.”

The two glanced at Ian standing on the rooftop.

“I’m a newcomer, so I’ll take 20.”

Are they crazy?

“These damn…”

They chanted simultaneously.

“Wave of Frost.”

“Dragon-Imbued Sword.”

“Flame Guided Shot.”

“…?”

Fon was confused.

It all happened in just 3 seconds.

Fon looked to the left. Seven knights were frozen solid by raging waves.

He looked to the right.

A creature called a dragon, which he’d never seen before, created explosive power that devoured nine knights.

And he looked around.

Ten knights who had surrounded them were sequentially turning into skeletons and scattering as bone dust.

“So Ian’s bow killed ten?”

Soon the frozen knights broke free from their status ailment and emerged from the ice.

The knights caught in the explosion also seemed quite severely injured but approached again.

But seeing their resourcefulness just now, Fon took a step back.

‘Wh-where did these monster-like guys come from?’

Soon they began clashing with the knights.

But the members of Guild Gwangmyeong knew.

‘It’ll be hard to hold out for long.’

‘If this turns into a prolonged battle, we might lose.’

No matter how much they possessed power that transcended these opponents, there were bound to be limits.

‘Plus, reinforcements are coming for them too.’

Deliberately for this situation, Hyeon-su had stationed 50 soldiers from Araham territory on standby elsewhere.

It was because they would likely be annihilated if they came here.

This fight had to be carried entirely by the users.

‘If not, the damage would be too great.’

They exchanged endless offense and defense.

They clearly realized that the knights’ skills surpassed those of users.

All damage, artifact abilities, and levels – they surpassed them in everything, but there was something they couldn’t catch up to.

It was skill.

They were those who had wielded swords their entire lives, while they were merely those who had logged into a game.

Guild Gwangmyeong, which had initially pushed forward overwhelmingly, was gradually being pushed back.

‘What we need now is for Hyeon-su to quickly capture Baron Ronso as a hostage.’

That was Gwangmyeong’s plan.

Therefore, Hyeon-su ran straight to the castle.

But there was one thing they hadn’t anticipated.

Special User Management Team.

Lee Ji-hee and Team Leader Kim Tae-seok are monitoring with bated breath.

Multiple monitors were showing each individual.

“…It’s impossible. From the start, it’s not easy for Guild Gwangmyeong to handle territory-level forces. Especially with the unexpected variable of Baron Ronso.”

Lee Ji-hee wore a regretful expression.

It seemed like User Hyeon-su would be able to obtain Balas territory through his own efforts and achievements.

But at this rate, Balas territory would completely collapse.

Moreover, the variable they mentioned – Baron Ronso.

“The Fourth Calamity, Ronso.”

That was it.

The Fourth Calamity Ronso is the financial backer of the Calamity Church.

Furthermore, Baron Ronso had been secretly disguised and hidden deep within the Goyard Kingdom for a long time.

With that variable and the territory’s forces combined, it was simply too much for Guild Gwangmyeong to endure.

“…Ronso, having revealed his identity, will kill everyone in Balas territory and then disappear.”

“…That’s right.”

But Kim Tae-seok said, since everything wasn’t over yet.

“Hyeon-su has always been a user who creates variables, hasn’t he?”

Before they knew it, Lee Ji-hee and Team Leader Kim Tae-seok had become supporters of Hyeon-su.

How should I put it.

Hyeon-su’s stories always moved the two of them too much not to cheer for him.

And shortly after.

Kim Tae-seok and Lee Ji-hee marveled at one variable that unfolded before their eyes.

Even they didn’t know what kind of power that variable would unleash.

Representative Lee Se-jin had said.

‘That title is a power given to him solely by the supercomputer Ares itself, it’s his unique power alone, and even I don’t know what kind of power will manifest.’

‘That title is a power given to him solely by the supercomputer Ares itself, it’s his unique power alone, and even I don’t know what kind of power will manifest.’

‘That title is a power given to him solely by the supercomputer Ares itself, it’s his unique power alone, and even I don’t know what kind of power will manifest.’

They saw the variable that had emerged for Hyeon-su.

[A sentence-type title is being completed.]
