The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
King of Wolves (2)
King of Wolves (2)
Hyeon-su, who was riding on horseback, listened to Bellia’s story.
‘The Fifth Calamity?’
Hyeon-su made a puzzled expression.
‘Isn’t the gap between us quite large?’
The Fifth Calamity was among the weakest of those who served the Calamity Church, but was still clearly different from Hyeon-su.
“Calamity Jack used the Book of Evil Gods.”
Bellia explained that only those below level 200 could approach.
“Because it was such a powerful force, Jack and his followers also received penalties. Jack, who was level 365, dropped to 270, and his followers also dropped to around 180.”
The gap had narrowed considerably.
‘If the God of Blacksmiths had judged it impossible, he wouldn’t have given me this mission.’
Still, the difficulty seemed unreasonable. He quickly turned his mind while riding the horse.
Hyeon-su slowly nodded his head.
‘It’s not completely impossible.’
A thought flashed through Hyeon-su’s mind. Before long, the horse was approaching the wolves’ sanctuary.
“The reason we’re passing through the wolves’ sanctuary is because it’s the fastest path to reach the temple. For someone like you, chosen as the savior by God, passing through there should be very easy.”
The two arrived in front of the wolves’ sanctuary.
“Wolves have faster feet than horses, so it’s better to hunt while we go.”
Hyeon-su dismounted and released the horse.
“Also, the wolves here are much stronger relative to their level. But for you, Lord Hyeon-su, descendant of the Azure Sky, they’d be nothing more than novices, right?”
“Descendant of the Azure Sky?”
Hyeon-su made a puzzled expression.
“I’m not a descendant of the Azure Sky class.”
“What? Then…? Perhaps a hidden descendant of the Sword King…?”
“No, I’m a blacksmith.”
Bellia’s mind went blank as if someone had hammered it with a strong hammer.
“A, a blacksmith?”
Just then.
Screams and fierce howling sounds came from inside the wolves’ sanctuary.
But for Bellia, there was something more important than that right now.
“Wh, what’s your level?”
“120.”
Something was wrong.
Beside the confused Bellia, users who had turned pale kept passing by.
She wanted to deny this reality, so she asked again.
“A level 120 blacksmith? Not a descendant of the Azure Sky?”
“Yes, but it should be fine. I’m a blacksmith, but I’m also a user with excellent martial skills, and we also have the holy power you possess, Bellia.”
“Lord Hyeon-su. Is it really okay for us to go in? When gray wolves appear, many wolves gather around the area.”
Hyeon-su looked into her eyes with a firm gaze.
Bellia, who had been restless, made her decision.
‘It’ll be too late if we look for someone else.’
They had no choice but to go.
Bellia was stronger than she thought.
She decided to chase a 1% possibility rather than sit still and let the saint be offered as a sacrifice.
The two rushed inside.
“I did think about how to save the saint from the Fifth Calamity, and there are a few methods.”
Hearing Hyeon-su’s voice, Bellia froze as they entered.
This was a mistake.
Just before, most users had fled while hunting.
The mobs that had drawn aggro had desperately chased after the users.
Because the users had crossed over to the safe zone, the mobs had no choice but to wander around the entrance.
About twenty giant wolves were showing their teeth while looking at the two.
Especially the giant wolf that had just torn apart a user who had fallen behind from their party had blood all around its mouth.
[Giant Wolf Lv.179]
Bellia had been playing a completely different game from ordinary people.
She, who liked doing good deeds, had helped people in difficulty.
One day, people from the Ares Church came to her and led her, granting her the epic class called Child of the Saint.
Leveling up as a Child of the Saint was special.
She leveled up through good deeds, prayer, and praise.
She was one of the users who had done the least hunting relative to her level in the game Ares.
Facing the bloody scent tickling her nose and giant wolves with heights taller than herself was a frightening thing for her.
Thwack-
When the creature drooled and leaped toward her, her thoughts stopped.
Then Bellia felt a man brush past her.
[King of Wolves.]
[Emanates the dignity of a king toward monsters judged to be beasts.]
[If they are higher level than you, makes them tremble in fear for 4 seconds.]
The leaping wolf suddenly changed. The wolf that passed Bellia and landed on the ground buried its head in the earth.
“Whine, whimper…!”
“Whiiiiine…”
Bellia’s eyes shook.
‘Wh, who is that…?’
Looking at the man stepping forward, Bellia made a puzzled expression.
‘Fenrir?’
The emblem of Fenrir, the king of wolves, drawn on the back of the red cloak. A helmet worn on his head that seemed modeled after Fenrir’s face.
A massive back view with incredibly broad shoulders.
Dozens of giant wolves bowing their heads in worship before him.
Looking at the mysterious man, Bellia had this thought.
‘A descendant of Fenrir…?’
Yes, this appearance was like a descendant of Fenrir.
An unknown thrill ran through her.
‘Could it be…?’
Had God given a mission not only to Hyeon-su but also to this rookie who was a descendant of Fenrir?
The descendant of Fenrir slowly turned his head.
“Thank you for trusting me, Bellia.”
Bellia was bewildered. When he turned his head, she could tell it was Hyeon-su.
“Let’s handle this quickly and go.”
Hyeon-su struck down the wolf with blood on its mouth that was right in front of Bellia.
[6 consecutive damage is applied.]
The sword Baekya.
A masterpiece by the blacksmith Fer and a sword gifted to Hyeon-su.
6 consecutive damage is a passive skill embedded in Baekya.
It activates with low probability, unleashing the power to deal six additional damages on top of one basic attack.
Kwakwakwakwakwak-!
A single wolf completely torn apart by one swing turned to ash and scattered.
[You have hunted a Giant Wolf.]
[You gain 886 experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
The level gap between Hyeon-su and the Giant Wolf was large, so hunting just one allowed him to level up once.
“Bellia, do you have a buff skill that increases experience?”
“Yes.”
Bellia, having regained her composure, put her hands together and prayed.
[Child’s Blessing.]
[Experience gain rate increases by 18% for 30 minutes.]
Hyeon-su was surprised.
[Bellia Lv.201]
Despite Bellia’s level not being that high, the gain rate increased significantly.
‘Usually a level 200 healer only increases it by 6%…?’
Hyeon-su quickly cut down the Giant Wolves that were worshipping with Baekya.
Hyeon-su’s stat amount is similar to level 180 users.
On top of that, Baekya, which is closest to legendary.
The unique artifacts Fenrir’s Helmet and Fenrir’s Cloak make Hyeon-su a hunter with extraordinary power.
[You have leveled up.]
4 level ups in an instant.
The wolves that finished worshipping rushed toward Hyeon-su.
Kwajak-
One wolf struck his chest with its front paw.
“Kyaaaak!”
Bellia screamed. She was certain that Hyeon-su’s armor would tear and blood would gush from his chest…
Bellia was flustered.
Far from the armor tearing, only a small scratch appeared and Hyeon-su’s HP dropped by merely 2%.
‘What exactly is this person?’
Then.
[A new story begins.]
[Wolves begin to gather at the appearance of a new challenger to the Wolf King.]
Wolves began rushing from everywhere endlessly.
‘I didn’t know about this… But what’s this Wolf King?’
Anyway, Hyeon-su had to hunt the wolves to pass through.
Seeing Bellia panicking at the wolves appearing from all directions, Hyeon-su smiled.
“Do you remember what I said?”
“That there are several methods?”
Bellia recalled what he had said.
‘I was also thinking about how to save the Saint from the fifth calamity, but there are several methods.’
‘I was also thinking about how to save the Saint from the fifth calamity, but there are several methods.’
A method for a level 120 blacksmith to save the Saint.
“Let’s level up to 160 or higher here. You have heals, right? Please give me a ride on your bus.”
Hyeon-su needed to grow.
Not simply as a blacksmith, but he also needed the power to protect himself.
The best healer would provide heals.
In other words, Hyeon-su would power level while riding the best healer’s bus.
The justification was clear too.
“I’ll do my best to heal… Let’s get you to level 170!”
She had to rescue Saint Aria, and the higher Hyeon-su’s level became, the higher that possibility grew.
‘Is that really possible?’
That small doubt.
When dozens of Giant Wolves simultaneously rushed toward the two people.
Piiiing-
[Sword’s Cry]
Seeing the wolves whose entire bodies were slashed by the Sword King’s profound technique and turned to ash, Bellia thought it might be possible.
‘I wished he was a descendant of Changcheon.’
Not anymore.
‘This person might really be able to save the Saint…!’
Hyeon-su was hearing notifications of explosive leveling.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up…]
By leveling up 15 times at once, Hyeon-su approached level 140 and a notification sounded.
[You have hunted many wolves in a short time.]
[A new episode never seen before will soon begin.]
[If you hunt the Ash Wolf, you can become the Wolf King.]
Hyeon-su made a puzzled expression.
Just before, Hyeon-su had also heard a notification calling him a challenger to the Wolf King.
‘What exactly is this Wolf King?’
Then.
[Boss Monster appears!]
[Ash Wolf Lv.212]
[Whoever hunts the Ash Wolf becomes the Wolf King.]
They could see a massive gray wolf that had suddenly appeared.
Kwaang-!
[Wolf Strike]
[You are sent flying far away by a powerful impact.]
The moment the gray wolf leaped like lightning and collided with Hyeon-su, he began flying about 50 meters away.
***
Pureum Corporation CEO’s office.
CEO Lee Se-jin showed an interested expression.
CEO Lee Se-jin had been crafting various stories and wondering whether Hyeon-su could truly stand against the fifth calamity.
No matter how he planned it, that direction never emerged. But his thinking changed when he heard about becoming the Wolf King.
‘Wolf King…’
The gray wolf had never been hunted, and killing it would trigger a hidden piece.
The Wolf King hidden piece.
“If he obtains that, he’ll be able to command the wolves in the wolves’ sanctuary.”
It flashed through Lee Se-jin’s mind.
‘The temple has hundreds of believers blocking it, it would be difficult for User Hyeon-su to break through.’
However, if he becomes the Wolf King, the story changes.
Of course, the gray wolf wasn’t easy to hunt and was extremely cunning.
As if to demonstrate this, the gray wolf that appeared like lightning rammed into Hyeon-su and sent him flying.
“As expected, it’s smart.”
Why did it send him flying? Wouldn’t it be better to tear his throat?
No, it’s different.
The gray wolf was just a monster, but it judged that the healer should be eliminated first.
By sending Hyeon-su flying, it could now bite Belia’s throat.
‘Wrong.’
Hyeon-su cannot become the Wolf King.
It would be possible if Belia were there, but she’s about to die now.
‘From that distance, he can’t hit the gray wolf, also called the lightning wolf.’
Lee Se-jin was convinced of this, then was surprised.
It was because hologram ore began smelting above the head of Hyeon-su as he flew backward.
***
The gray wolf sensed the one challenging the Wolf King.
The one who killed its subordinates and coveted its authority.
Looking at him, it cunningly used its head.
Let’s separate that man and woman, then bite the woman’s throat.
Kwaang-!
The gray wolf that arrived like light looked at the flying man and approached the woman.
“Hy, Hyeon-su sir? Kyaaaah!”
As it moved to bite her throat, it witnessed a strange sight.
Ore shot up above the head of the man tumbling in mid-air.
The ore melts.
Smelting.
Impurities disappear.
Refining.
The ore completes a spear shaft and spear tip.
Forging.
The moment the man who had flown far away landed on the ground.
Thud!
He slid across the ground and grabbed the spear.
Ridiculous.
Pitiful.
Even if he threw that spear, it would have already escaped.
It could just bite the woman and devour her elsewhere.
“Uh, uaaaah…”
Biting the crying woman, the gray wolf leaped powerfully.
Thwack-!
The man threw the spear.
But the gray wolf had already escaped the spear’s trajectory by leaping.
However.
Shriiek-!
An unknown spear that burst with a rough air-splitting sound.
Crackle-
The spear accelerated with massive sparks and changed trajectory, soaring up into the sky.
“…!?”
The gray wolf ended up dropping the woman it was biting.
The creature couldn’t read the writing on the spear, and on that spear was written:
‘Gungnir.’
The spear known to have been wielded by Odin.
This spear is known to always hit its target.
