Chapter 311
Episode 311.
Ding.
Dongwoo saw an email from his brother.
-Netflix Episode 4. I’m going with this. Check it out first.
When they’d talked recently.
His brother had mentioned he was preparing something fun as a 4-episode content series.
Dongwoo eagerly pulled up the video.
“Plenty of material again this time.”
It looked like Jin-woo had completed a massive quest similar to the Underworld.
…….
The title was “The Salvation of Elementia.”
“Seems similar to the Underworld Reclamation series?”
Dongwoo watched the video his brother sent without searching anything up first.
Elementia was a city where the Spirit Race lived.
What he saw upon entering was Elementia in ruins.
Jin-woo stood alone in what had become ash and rubble, and the quest he was undertaking was to save this very Elementia.
And far in the distance, three towers loomed.
“Insane.”
The difficulty was immediately apparent from the sheer scope of it.
Dropped alone on a boundless expanse, Jin-woo received a small side quest.
It was one he could have easily skipped.
……!
But Jin-woo showed kindness, and from that moment on, he was utterly consumed by it.
“Wow…….”
Gasps of amazement escaped him throughout.
It was a long, unedited video, yet it was captivating.
The very concept of content people wanted from Jin-woo was entirely contained in this footage.
“Insane, the Necromancer……!”
Until now, Jin-woo had shown himself freely commanding the familiars he’d created.
But there hadn’t really been any large-scale battles.
“Necromancer means legion warfare, right.”
A true Necromancer commanded legions of monsters, overwhelming enemies through sheer numbers.
And that was present in this video.
“Wow.”
Familiars filled the entire screen.
A wave of undead swept enemies away like a tide.
“He really committed to this. My brother.”
Once this was edited for Netflix, it would absolutely hit.
“And the crafting is incredible.”
He was creating entirely new Objects.
“So you can’t just make them normally.”
Normally, creating Objects like this would be impossible. The NPCs kept saying so themselves.
Especially Nordin, the Spirit God, kept insisting that Jin-woo needed to save Elementia a different way, not by making Objects.
“But my brother can do it, so there’s no need to take the long way around.”
His impact as a Blacksmith was just as powerful as his impact as a Necromancer.
“This is…….”
Having watched to the end, Dongwoo’s heart kept racing.
As a video editor, receiving footage like this made his eyes spin.
“It’ll be tough to do both like my brother said.”
Editing for Netflix and JinTube at the same time would be incredibly difficult.
But he wanted to try.
“You’ve got to seize the opportunity when it comes.”
Turn this 4-episode footage into a Netflix series and it couldn’t fail.
This was content worthy of that.
“Though I don’t know if it’ll go up on Netflix or somewhere else.”
Just as Jin-woo had predicted, messages were coming in from various platforms.
Injoy, Rizni.
Major corporations were constantly emailing, wanting to meet with Jin-woo.
“Since my brother told me to keep testing the waters for now.”
He hadn’t replied to any of them yet.
“My brother’s really become world-class.”
Dongwoo laughed quietly.
“I should go work out.”
Dongwoo ran every single day.
“I need to increase my stamina more since I’ll need to burn myself out to keep up.”
To stand beside world-class, you had to be world-class yourself.
“What kind of luck is this with such a talented brother.”
Dongwoo laughed while complaining about how spoiled he had it.
* * *
Boom!
-Conflict has begun!
-Conflict has begun!
-Warning! Warning!
-Positano has become a conflict zone!
Positano was suddenly engulfed in combat.
“This is insane!”
“Wasn’t this supposed to be a conflict-free zone!?”
“Looks like a special quest dropped. Dammit.”
“Which kingdom?”
“The Grona Kingdom started it!”
The sudden conflict initiated by the Grona Kingdom sent users who’d been living peacefully moments before to drawing weapons on one another.
“The benefits of Positano are ridiculous!”
“Let’s experience it this time!”
Users affiliated with each kingdom moved swiftly.
Boom!
The Grona Kingdom, commanding the largest force, began its charge with the users who’d initiated the attack at the forefront, weapons drawn toward the opposing kingdom.
Clang!
Boom!
Thud!
“Uhhhhh-!”
“There are too many Grona bastards!”
Jin-woo was watching the fight when a Grona Kingdom knight suddenly caught him from behind.
“Bad timing. Avalak.”
Until now, Positano had maintained its neutral zone status for a long time.
Because of this, users of the Avalak Kingdom could move through freely. Even with fewer players, they were safe.
“No. Actually, this is perfect.”
But Jin-woo was delighted.
He twisted his body lightly, evading the attack.
“I needed this right now.”
Then he spun around and stepped back sharply.
!
“Avalak Kingdom!”
When Jin-woo shouted loudly, users of the Avalak Kingdom looked toward him. The man in robes was radiating a strange power.
“I’ll create a path for you.”
Whooosh.
Suddenly, an enormous wave of dark energy erupted from Jin-woo’s body.
……!
And as the robes fell away.
“Jin-woo……!?”
“It’s Jin-woo!”
Users of the Avalak Kingdom suddenly broke into wide smiles.
And the eyes of users from the Grona and Malen kingdoms widened in shock.
“Impossible.”
“Why would Jin-woo be here……?”
“Don’t panic! He’s just a Blacksmith anyway!”
“You idiot! Is Jin-woo just a Blacksmith!?”
Everyone knew from JinTube and Netflix.
Jin-woo was far more than just a Blacksmith.
Whoosh.
First and Pur, emerging from the darkness, now stood before users of each kingdom.
!
“When did they……!”
“The Master has commanded.”
“Become. Accustomed. To. New. Equipment. He. Said.”
The two familiars hadn’t yet fully utilized the MR Grade equipment.
So they were burning with eagerness.
Whooosh!
Intense power radiated from First’s fingertips.
“What, what is that!”
“That equipment……!”
A user of the Grona Kingdom stumbled backward in shock. They knew from JinTube how strong these familiars were.
But the impact was greater than on video.
Especially the equipment was impossible to look away from.
!
Whooosh.
The circulation property of the Eternal Circulation Sword suddenly enveloped the user.
Swoosh.
Bursting flames!
In an instant, the sword in the user’s hands ignited in flames while his body turned pale white from frost.
“He, he’s frozen.”
“Insane, what is this!”
Two opposing attributes consumed a single user in an instant.
And beside them, Pur rushed forward.
“Clear the path.”
Whooosh.
Pur channeled power into the War Hammer held in both hands.
Fusion Aktos. The War Hammer, imbued with the mighty power of that demon, obliterated the user in front of it.
Boom!
A massive crater appeared as if a meteor had fallen.
The War Hammer’s power was immense.
“Excellent!”
Jin-woo whistled.
He’d been looking for a chance to test how strong MR Grade equipment was.
“Perfect timing.”
Watching Pur swing the War Hammer, users behind him were stunned.
“……This can’t be real…….”
“What the hell is happening here!”
Latecomers from the Grona Kingdom stared in shock at the crater that had opened.
All the Grona users who’d been there moments ago were dead.
“They had to be at least level 500……!”
Level 500 users had been killed in a single attack.
Whoosh.
Pur spun the War Hammer, advancing forward. The hammer’s weight was so great that his body staggered as he charged.
“Eliminate those two first!”
“They’re the most dangerous familiars!”
They knew all about Jin-woo’s familiars.
That’s why they knew who to eliminate first.
Of course, there was something they didn’t know.
“Speed.”
There was a familiar that hadn’t been revealed yet.
Crackle.
Speed, moving like lightning, quickly darted behind and struck users.
Screech!
“Cough. What!?”
They couldn’t even see it.
“I activated skills…….”
The users wore numerous buffs—Body Enhancement, Vision Enhancement, and countless others.
Especially the Grona Kingdom users who’d deliberately started this conflict were thoroughly prepared.
“Couldn’t see it……!”
And yet they still couldn’t track Speed’s movements.
But the enemies were simply too numerous.
Users of the Malen Duchy knew that eliminating Jin-woo was the most urgent task in this moment.
And beyond that, they were curious.
How strong were Jin-woo’s familiars they’d seen on JinTube?
“I wanted to finish this with my own hands!”
“That Jin-woo!”
If they could bring down First and Pur, Jin-woo would surely follow.
Crash!
The earth shook as Malen Duchy users suddenly unleashed a barrage of attacks on First and Pur.
“Dark Dimension.”
“Holy Frost Strike.”
Multiple high-tier spells.
“Suit Arrow.”
“Explosive Potion.”
Arrow attacks and alchemist potion bombs were hurled as well.
Boom!
First and Pur were directly exposed to the powerful attacks amid the deafening roar.
“No matter how strong they are, they can’t withstand coordinated attacks.”
“We need to get the main body. The main body!”
Users quickly located Jin-woo.
Faced with this, Jin-woo made no move to flee or counterattack.
“……What?”
“Why isn’t he summoning more familiars?”
They knew Jin-woo had other familiars.
Yet he stood at ease.
When all eyes turned to him, he pointed instead toward where First and Pur had been.
The smoke hadn’t cleared, but something was moving.
“No way…….”
“Insane, I used my ultimate on them!”
“Holy Frost Strike. It’s a skill specialized against the undead…….”
First and Pur walked out from the smoke.
“Insane.”
They even looked fine.
While they weren’t completely unharmed, despite receiving such a powerful and devastating attack, their health looked fully intact.
“The undead…… survived that?”
It was unthinkable.
But Jin-woo was already aware of the undead’s weaknesses.
“They already received a preventative inoculation.”
Jin-woo smiled and gestured.
“Nice armor look. Now sweep them away.”
Boom!
Jin-woo stamped his foot hard and summoned the remaining familiars.
“Bon, Fin, Moltus, Beom.”
Whooosh!
Four familiars poured from the darkness and spread across the area.
“Celestial Proclamation.”
‘Time to go all out.’
“Avalak!”
Jin-woo shouted to the Avalak Kingdom users.
The handful of Avalak Kingdom users had grown in number. Others had moved to join them.
‘Thirty.’
But the enemies numbered over a thousand.
‘That’s enough.’
Jin-woo smiled and gestured to them.
“Materials.”
“……Huh?”
“Huh!?”
“Materials.”
Jin-woo repeated the same word.
The user who understood first quickly rushed forward and handed materials to Jin-woo.
“It’s the best we have!”
-Luminous Orichalcum [UR+]
A UR+ Grade material he hadn’t seen in a while.
Jin-woo smiled.
“So…… you’re going to make equipment for us!?”
“Wait. Here? You’re crafting here!?”
“That’s what we saw on Netflix……!”
So much information about Jin-woo had circulated that he needed no explanation.
“Here!”
“Here!”
Avalak Kingdom users frantically began offering materials.
The highest-grade materials were SSR Rank, while the lowest were UR Rank.
“Why did you choose the Avalak Kingdom?”
Jin-woo asked them.
“Because of you, Jin-woo!”
“There’s an NPC I like here.”
“For me…….”
Each of them had chosen the Avalak Kingdom for their own reasons.
“You must have had regrets many times?”
“……Yes. Many, honestly.”
“The benefits are really nonexistent.”
“All the neutral zones across the continent are in other kingdoms’ territory.”
At those words, Jin-woo smiled.
“Today.”
Whooosh.
The Summoned Workshop unfolded.
“Will be a day without regret.”
