Chapter 92
Kim Jae-beom made a proposal to Valerot.
In exchange for transferring his power, he asked her to craft an artifact comparable in caliber to a shield. Upon hearing his words, Valerot answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“I’d love to!”
With the transaction concluded so cleanly, I began pouring my power into the artifact designated for shield creation.
A soft whoosh echoed through the air.
My hand extended toward the artifact, and from my fingertips, a crimson aura began to envelop it.
Like a living organism, the scarlet energy writhed and seeped into the artifact.
A piercing hum resonated outward.
As the artifact accepted my power, an intense crimson radiance bloomed across its surface.
The flow of energy coursing through the circuits etched between the azure patterns became vividly apparent.
The entire shield-shaped artifact pulsed with vivid animation, as though thirsting for my essence.
A deep, resonant thrumming—boom, boom—shook the Workshop.
Violent waves of power radiating from the artifact’s center began to shake the Workshop violently.
As the walls trembled and the floor convulsed, the two figures at the center stood within a colossal vortex of force.
Between the artifact and myself, a dazzling pillar of scarlet light erupted skyward.
An energy conduit connecting the two of us had been forged.
Through it, my power flowed ceaselessly, breathing new life into the artifact.
A deep, resonant boom—boom—pulsed outward.
From my hands, wind laden with heat surged forth.
The dormant power within my being awakened, cascading toward the artifact.
With each surge of energy released, my crimson aura grew increasingly saturated.
Crystalline formations of power melting into the azure patterns.
With each fusion of these crystals to the artifact, extraordinary transformations unfolded.
The colossal shield, as though reborn with new life, began to shift its form and lose its original hue.
The cold, metallic composition dissolved, transforming into something organic and alive.
The artifact’s surface, rippling with crimson luminescence, was being reshaped by my power.
That ever-shifting form resembled a living creature evolving under the touch of its creator.
How much time had elapsed?
At last, as the flow of power subsided, a wondrous creation revealed itself before Valerot and me.
A completely transformed artifact, imbued with the breath of life, had been born.
A tremendous burst erupted outward!
Scorching steam billowed from the artifact, filling the Workshop completely.
White vapor coiled through the space, radiating suffocating heat.
It felt as though we were trapped within a colossal furnace.
A low, resonant hum continued.
From the artifact’s surface, waves of searing heat emanated intensely.
The glowing-hot metal writhed as though alive, radiating thermal energy.
The scorching artifact seemed like a massive, malevolent beast exhaling its burning breath.
The artifact, heated to a scorching temperature, was like a massive evil beast breathing hot breath.
Sizzle, sizzle—
The Workshop’s air grew stifling in an instant.
With each breath, a searing pain coursed through my lungs as if they were burning away.
Beads of sweat formed on my brow and fell in steady drops.
The oppressive heat made it nearly impossible to maintain my balance.
Valerot clenched her teeth and fixed her gaze upon the artifact.
Though the intense heat blurred her vision, her eyes burned with unwavering brilliance.
Enduring the agony of creation, she bore witness with her entire being to the birth of a new masterpiece.
Whoosh—
Steam enveloped the artifact, rising like wisps of vapor.
Within that scorching mist, Kim Jae-beom’s silhouette appeared hazily.
“This… it looks like it’s been made properly?”
And above Kim Jae-beom’s head, a shield materialized—a crimson shield forged through the power of Overlord.
—Whooom!
A shield possessed of breathtaking beauty.
Condensed through the Overlord’s authority, it radiated an overwhelming presence.
The shield’s form traced organic curves as if alive.
Rather than rigid metal, its texture felt like the taut musculature of a living creature.
Its elliptical silhouette, reminiscent of a mushroom cap, evoked a singular elegance.
Intricate patterns adorned the shield’s entire surface.
Complex geometric designs wove an air of mystery.
A vital crimson radiance flowed along the patterns, pulsing steadily.
At the shield’s center lay a gem resembling an eye.
Blazing with the vivid hue of a blood-red ruby, it writhed as if possessed of life.
Even in darkness, the jewel burned brilliantly, symbolizing the formidable power dwelling within the shield.
Golden seams traced the rim, adding splendor.
Glimmering as if dusted with fine gold powder, it exuded an air of refinement.
Soft golden radiance magnified the shield’s magnificence.
Its size was considerable.
A shield vast enough to cover Kim Jae-beom’s entire upper body.
Yet despite its imposing appearance, it was crafted from a lightweight material, allowing it to be wielded with ease.
Most striking was the Overlord’s aura emanating from the shield.
Condensed with Kim Jae-beom’s formidable strength, it unleashed an overwhelming pressure upon its surroundings.
“Ohhh…!”
Valerot’s eyes sparkled at the sight. At last, the new shield was complete.
—Whoosh!
The newly born shield suddenly flew toward Valerot. Kim Jae-beom was manipulating it using his Overlord power.
“Control… has already transferred?”
Color drained from Valerot’s face.
Her eyes widened in disbelief at the impossible sight.
My lips trembled, and my eyes wavered—the shock was unmistakable in every feature.
“This cannot be… Surely the shield I created….”
My voice cracked as I murmured, my face a portrait of utter bewilderment.
The reality that my masterpiece—forged with every ounce of my strength—now rested in another’s grasp was simply incomprehensible.
“I used special materials… it should only obey my commands… how is this possible….”
Unable even to string words together coherently, I descended into chaos.
The calculations and predictions I had believed flawless crumbled spectacularly before my eyes.
The boundary I had deemed insurmountable—Kim Jae-beom had crossed it effortlessly.
My rationality began to unravel.
Confronted by a situation that defied all logic, my composure was collapsing entirely.
