Chapter 116
Chapter 116
* * *
It was a dream, but it seemed like we fought very hard.
It was a reenactment of the past.
YuWon wielded and swung Hephaestus’ hammer-grained sword.
Until the sword breaks and becomes powder.
And at one point, YuWon came to his senses.
Wheeeeeeeee-ee.
The wind came in through the slightly open window.
Looking out the window, it was just dawn.
Is it still dawn?
I opened my eyes earlier than I thought.
I don’t need to sleep more, but since I just got out of the dungeon, I was going to sleep well today.
This didn’t make me want to sleep more.
Climbing.
When I poured water into the glass, I came to my senses.
The dream came to mind clearly.
“It’s dirty.”
Killed a lot, but that’s how many died.
Asura, who fought in the lead by splitting the purple waves, ended up eating the rest of her hair in the Outers’ mouths.
The thought of it again turned my stomach.
Like this.
I put the cup back down.
To soothe the frustration, I reflected a magical spell inside.
‘The future can be changed.’
To that end, he has come to the past.
There hasn’t been much change so far.
You’re the only one who’s changed.
So far, the changes in the tower that YuWon brought to us were as small as a speck.
‘Now, here we go.’
* * *
“Get out of here, man!”
Whoosh whoosh.
Oh, my God!
Suddenly a hammer flew in. It wasn’t his head, but his chest, so he didn’t mean to kill it.
YuWon didn’t avoid the hammer. I had quite a pain in my chest.
Hephaestus was surprised that he didn’t expect it to be true.
“Are you feeling better?”
“What have you been up to?”
“I’ve been a long way.”
“You haven’t even taken the test, what are you doing…….”
I murmured and murmured, but I heard everything.
Knowing that YuWon didn’t take the test, he probably found YuWon’s whereabouts.
“I’m sorry.”
“Tsk. Are you okay where you got hit?”
“It hurts a little bit.”
“Why didn’t you avoid me?”
“Don’t you need to be beaten so that you can feel better? It’s better if you’re sorry.”
“……Lucky boy.”
Hephaestus scratched his head with annoyance.
He didn’t throw the hammer unless he was quite angry. YuWon had seen him angry a few times, and the quick way to relieve his anger was to hit him with a hammer thrown like that.
It’s not like you’re going to die anyway, it’s just a throw for venting.
It may hurt a little bit after being hit, but it was much better than taking Hephaestus’ anger more.
“So, what have you been up to? Let’s hear a story.”
“I went around a dungeon.”
“So far? So far?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t think you’re embarrassed by a dungeon at your level.….”
“It was a little difficult.”
“It’s hard?”
“It wasn’t an ordinary dungeon.”
Hephaistos tilted his head as if he didn’t understand yet.
He was one of the best people to know YuWon’s skills.
He already had the ability to fight Chris from the ground floor, and his item, Quine, was also born from Hephaestus’s hand.
21st floor.
Down there, there’s a dungeon that’s hard for YuWon to attack.
“You must have been to a strange place again.”
Hephaestus picked up the hammer that fell on the floor again.
The question did not continue further.
It was a dungeon that ended its attack anyway, and dungeon was not the interest of Hephaestus, a blacksmith.
“How’s your work going?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s a relief.”
“I tried to break it down a few times, so I held it in.”
YuWon followed Hephaestos to the warehouse.
Still, his warehouse was dazzling.
The best blacksmith in the tower, Hephaestus.
If you go outside even one thing, it will be a big fuss. Hephaistos sold them one by one when living expenses fell or he couldn’t afford to buy materials.
“Where did I put it…… Oh, here it is.”
Hephaestus, who had been searching between the items he had accumulated for a long time, picked up a necklace again this time.
“Here you go. Check it out.
YuWon took his neck and opened it.
Inside the necklace was a jewel shining brilliantly in blue.
It felt as if the sea had been compressed into this tiny jewel.
[Jin: Haesin Stone]
# A solidified piece of water born in the beginning. It is made up of mana of water.
# Classification: Material items
# I can rule all the seas.
# Mana’s water properties conversion
# Summon the Sea (Restricted)
# 50% increase in resistance to water properties mana
# Water properties Mana’s amplification rate increased by 30%
# 30% reduction in mana consumption of water properties
The overall framework of the item was not much different from the blackstone.
The difference was that the properties of the item itself were different, and the effect of “rule the sea.”
I rule the sea.… I don’t know exactly what this is like.’
It felt different from the 20th floor test when they used Leviathan and other monsters in the sea.
Unlike living monsters, the ‘sea’ felt more extensive.
It rules the sea.
I thought I had no choice but to check this effect by using it myself.
“For the time being, stick it in quine and use it. It’ll be much better than just using it as it is.”
“Is that possible?”
“There’s nothing difficult about digging a small groove. You just have to fix it for a second. Give me that. It’ll be over in half a day.”
YuWon took off his quine and handed it to Hephaistos.
Hephaestus immediately took out his work knife and began to work on it in detail. As it was built on the basis of Adamantium, it was not easy to give Quine a new variation, no matter how small the groove was.
YuWon waited for the work to finish.
The night has grown old.
A groove was carved into the quine, and Hephaestus embedded a sea stone in it.
“It’s easy to carry around, it’s not done properly. If you want to use both, you’ll need to create another similar item.”
Sneak-.
YuWon put the quine back on his hands.
It was just a small groove, but it felt strangely different. The gloves seemed to have turned a little colder.
YuWon looked around at Quine and asked.
“Or is there a way to strengthen the quine itself?”
“Strengthen the item?”
“Yes, I’d like to add other ingredients, or use Mana.”
Hephaestus was in agony for a while.
Reinforcement of finished items.
It was a way that didn’t exist at this point.
But YuWon knew.
In the future, Hephaestos learned not only how to make items but also how to strengthen them and shook the tower.
Apparently Hephaestus was the one who could do that.
Sure enough.
“Strengthen, strengthen…”….”
Hephaestus murmured the same thing as if he had gotten a clue.
YuWon waited for his thoughts to finish.
If he had mastered reinforcement techniques early, it would not be impossible to use both black and white stones as an item.
“Sometimes you have something to write about.”
“Sometimes?”
“Then what else can I use it for?”
Hephaestus turned and swung his hand.
“The money’s fine, but I paid for the meal today.”
Hephaestos sat down in the workshop immediately.
You probably have a lot on your mind.
It may be just a passing story to someone, but it won’t be to Hephaestus.
Half a day’s work, but Hephaestus picked up his hammer and started tapping on the items he had made.
‘You’d better leave it alone.’
YuWon left Hephaist’s workshop saying goodbye.
I got a seat for this.
The exam on the 21st floor is only a few days away.
About three and a half months.
Stopped on the 21st floor for quite a while.
“We’ll have to go back up.”
* * *
The day has dawned.
In Hephaist’s workshop, several knives, spears, and armor were scattered on the floor.
All of them were broken to the point where they could not function properly, such as breaking or bending halfway.
“Enhanced…….”
Hephaestus was lost in thought with a mange in his hand.
I tried a few experiments, but failed again.
I’ve tried many methods, such as increasing the intensity of mana or overlapping new items on items.
“It’s hard.”
I can’t hold it as if I can’t get hold of it.
But YuWon’s words still echoed in my head.
It was a life of hammering and continuing to create new items.
Still loved it and enjoyed it, but there was no one who couldn’t get enough of the repetition every day.
The same is true of Hephaestus.
However, the field of 'strengthening” was one that Hephaestus still did not know.
‘There’s nothing a reinforcementist or human being can’t do. However, it is only temporary and cannot permanently change the performance of the equipment.’
Hephaestus has wrinkles between his eyes.
Reinforcement. Reinforcement.….’
Persimmon as a blacksmith was speaking.
It’s not impossible at all.
So we have to find a way.
Hephaestus felt burning as a blacksmith after a long time.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
On the stairs leading to the ground.
Someone knocked on the door of the workshop.
“What’s he doing this morning?”
Hephaestus’ expression, whose concentration was broken, crumpled.
Looking nervously at the door, he tried again with a hammer and knocking on a normal knife.
At that time, the door rang.
Boom, boom, boom-!
“You little bastard!”
Hephaestus rose irritably from his seat.
The sound of the door keeps distracting me.
He picked up the hammer as if he would be beaten with a hammer.
by the way
Whoosh!)
“……what is it?”
This wasn’t a knock on the door.
It was the sound of breaking.
‘Is it Olympus?’
It was strange.
It has been less than a year since the Administrator on the first floor issued a warning. I thought I could not move around on the first floor for the next few years or decades.
No matter how you get yourself, if you pretend to be the Administrator, you’ll lose more than you lose more.
‘My father couldn’t have done that kind of calculation. So are they the ones down there?’
Squeezing.
The hand holding the hammer added strength.
Raised Mana, ready for battle.
Zoebuck, Zoebuck-.
Someone comes down the stairs.
The sound of footsteps was one.
Then it’s worth a try.
The sound of walking is getting closer.
Starting with the long bridge, the uninvited guest stands out.
“Hey, mister.”
A young voice like a boy.
Long arms and legs and white hair.
“If you swing it, you’ll die. Why don’t you put it down?”
“You…….”
The uninvited guest who broke the door was well known by Hephaestus.
A long time ago.
The one who came to him and asked him to make a long stick.
“What are you doing here, monkey?”
“Huh?”
The uninvited guest who broke through the door opened his eyes wide.
A being who dares to refer to himself as heaven.
the Great Wall of Heaven
He looked at Hephaestus and asked in surprise.
“Was this your house?”
