Bond Dragon (1)
Hyunsoo’s eyes shook after hearing Atlas’ secret.
‘What if everything in this place, once a great territory, wakes up again?’
The incoming notification reminded me once again.
[Atlas was the greatest empire 800 years ago.]
[Countless talented people and geniuses followed him under the name of saint.]
[However, the Atlas of the Realm collapsed or died all at once.]
This is what Hyunsoo heard so far.
[The saint used one of the ancient relics, the Seed of Life, to protect them.]
[The day he meets his true master. Atlas, who had sunk into the abyss, may awaken once again.]
Karn said.
“The new Lord Hyunsu and the new people and troops must be acknowledged. That acknowledgement is to obtain the seeds of life that are scattered throughout this territory.”
Hyunsoo could tell.
The seed of life.
This was literally a guild quest that was given to the entire blacksmith shop.
A quest to collect these seeds of life would appear throughout the Atlas Territory.
“A true master is one who has the power to be acknowledged by the greatest saints of legend. You must collect as many seeds of life as possible.”
Karn looked around the territory.
“If they don’t reach the standard, they won’t wake up. If they exceed a certain level, they may wake up, but only a very small number of them. However, if you become a true lord… … .”
There was faith in Karn’s eyes.
“You may be able to get everything the saint left behind, but it won’t be possible right away.”
“You’re saying it’s not possible right now?”
“I’m saying that by gathering the Seeds of Life, we can awaken those who have fallen asleep in the past, but we can’t awaken everyone in a short period of time. For now, we just need to meet the standard. We need to meet the standard so that the Seeds of Life don’t lose their power.”
Hyunsoo could understand what Karn was saying.
The invisible second hand is ticking.
The blacksmith of the present had to collect enough seeds of life from the second hand to keep the power of the spirit from disappearing.
Then, one by one, I had to collect the seeds of life and slowly wake up the sleeping ones.
“What if I save it in a short period of time?”
“It won’t be easy.”
Karn made a bitter expression.
Hyunsoo had one more question.
“The Great Atlas. If it was so great, why did it disappear all at once?”
It was very important content.
Karn said with a sad expression.
“Because the saint’s name was so exalted. So exalted that he fell out of favor with the beings who lived in that era.”
“That being?”
“Yes, before he arrived, the saint had spread the seeds of life throughout the territory in case of an emergency. And then when he arrived, everyone there died.”
Hyunsoo noticed its existence.
What kind of being could possibly create such a great territory?
“And the saint managed to kill the bastard, though he suffered a lot of damage.”
Karn, who had been taking a deep breath, soon spoke about its existence.
“Ballad of the Dragon of Destruction.”
“… … !!?”
Hyunsoo couldn’t help but be astonished.
“What, what? Dragons are real?”
Of course, it will exist in the current world view as well.
But it hasn’t been resolved yet.
“800 years ago, there were several dragons living here.”
And Hyunsoo had no choice but to concentrate.
He thought that by acquiring the skill gathering, he would be able to realize his long-time dream of becoming a blacksmith.
His fantasy as a blacksmith is to create weapons using the bones and teeth of demons or dragons.
Of course, I think this is possible only when Hyun-soo is over level 650.
“That guy named Balladra was eventually killed and completely destroyed.”
I realized once again how great a person the saint is.
“That’s right. But I guess it’s half right and half wrong to say that it was completely destroyed.”
“Half right and half wrong?”
“It is true that the guy was killed by the saint. However, he also prepared for his own death, which was to become undead.”
Undead.
Hyunsoo’s eyes shook.
This is something that anyone who played games or read fantasy novels as a child would know, even if they didn’t know the worldview of Ares.
“Are you saying that you became a Bone Dragon?”
“you’re right.”
Hyunsoo felt thrilled.
‘The Bond Dragon is not a real dragon, but it is also a being that can make my dreams come true.’
The material that Hyunsoo needs from the dragon is not its flesh.
Of course, it would be nice if he had scales, but he won’t get them.
However, a dragon whose entire body is made of bones might make good artifact material.
“Where is he now?”

“It’s right there.”
The bond dragon was closer than expected.
Where Karn’s finger pointed.
“When the Saint saw that the bastard had become undead, he squeezed out the last of his strength and sealed it inside, but I am afraid. I wonder when the seal the Saint made will weaken and the bastard will burst out. We call that place the Dragon’s Graveyard.”
[You have learned about the Dungeon Dragon’s Tomb.]
“Is he strong?”
“Yes, I lost half of my power by becoming undead, but I can still compare to any of the top ten legends on the continent.”
Top 10 Legends of the Continent.
NPCs also grow together with the user.
The average level of Barad among legendaries is currently over 480.
‘So, for now, I can’t hunt.’
Hyunsoo smiled bitterly.
‘But how did you know where it was?’
There was a very bountiful harvest.
That you can awaken the ancient spirits.
That there is a dragon’s tomb.
‘And the third is a dual-class saint.’
Hyunsoo looked at the saint’s sword he had created.
This saint’s sword must be pulled out after being stuck back into the ground.
And it will be a very easy task.
‘Because I didn’t put the ‘cannot be drawn’ feature into this newly made sword in the first place.’
And Hyunsoo thought as he approached the place where the saint’s sword was stuck with Karn.
‘If this is indeed Purum’s mistake, they will try to take action anyway, because it is much better than before.’
Hyunsoo, who was walking with Karn, suddenly stopped walking.
“Karn, I’m sorry, but I have somewhere to go.”
“All right.”
The reason Hyunsoo stopped stabbing the saint’s sword for a moment.
[Wang Wook: Hello, I am Team Leader Wang Wook from Purum Co., Ltd.]
Because the bite has come.
***
[Summons user Hyeon-su to the operator’s room.]
Team Leader Wang received an order from Branch Manager Tao to retrieve the Saint’s Sword by any means necessary.
Any compensation plan that would be acceptable to user Hyun-soo is possible.
In the operator’s room, there was a sofa, and a hanging light appeared from it.
“hello.”
“hello.”
They exchanged brief greetings and Hyunsoo looked puzzled.
“… … You look really tired?”
“Oh, no. Haha.”
Team Leader Wang smiled bitterly. It must have been obvious that he was different from usual in a virtual reality.
Anyway, the two people sat on the sofa and Team Leader Wang got to the main point.
“This saint’s sword was a sword that had a mistake applied? I made it a legend on top of legends, and now it’s close to a bug. How could that be… ?”
Hyunsoo noticed but pretended not to notice.
Team Leader Wang said.
“Unfortunately, it seems we will have to retrieve the Saint’s Sword. Or rather, return it to its original state.”
Team Leader Wang didn’t miss the distorted expression on Hyunsoo’s face.
“Therefore, we have prepared a compensation plan for user Hyunsu.”
Team Leader Wang spoke in a calm voice.
“The reward will be a 3-point increase to all stats and 100,000 gold.”
I think the compensation plan is better than I expected.
100,000 gold, or 100 million Korean won.
‘All stats increased by 3?’
Hyunsoo has about 8 stats.
In addition to the four basic stats, there are will, charisma, dexterity, and divine power.
All of these go up by 3, meaning you’re stacking dozens of stats at once.
One thing that Hyunsoo also came to know through this was
‘This is a much more serious problem than I expected.’
And Hyunsoo said firmly.
“Unfortunately, it seems like the offer will not be easy to accept.”
Team Leader Wang said calmly.
“As you know, Hyunsoo, these are not bad conditions.”
Hyunsoo moved on to another part.
“Of course, it’s not a bad condition, but what you’re saying, Team Leader, is that you’re taking away a sword that was created through the user’s hard work and skill.”
Team Leader Wang listened silently.
“Even if we exclude the blessing of the saint you are talking about, do you admit that this sword is currently a legend above legends?”
“… … I admit it.”
Team Leader Wang was impressed by the Saint’s sword that had become a famous sword because of Hyun-soo.
“Ordinary users can’t even create a legend on top of a legend in their entire lives, and it’s hard for me to create a legend on top of a legend. Also, that sword is worth over 1 billion won, and that’s even when the saint’s blessing is removed.”
Team Leader Wang admitted everything.
“Please tell me what you want.”
Hyunsoo felt that the plan he had wanted and planned from the beginning was coming true.
Hyunsoo used Arsenium even though he knew that the sword of this saint was accidentally made and would be recovered.
“First, please return double the amount of Asnium, the material I used.”
“I admit the original amount, but twice as much… … .”
In the first place, ashenium is a difficult mineral to obtain.
Hyunsoo was obtained by completing the Blacksmith’s New quest.
But Team Leader Wang admitted it.
The Arsenium he already had. And the achievements he had made.
“All right.”
“second.”
“Again, is there more?”
Team Leader Wang realized.
‘This guy is trying to suck our blood!’
But the problem was that it was logical.
“Everything except the Saint’s Blessing of the Saint’s Sword came from my fingertips. Do you admit it?”
“I admit it.”
That was true.
A better blacksmith restored it and used superior materials to create such a sword.
“You can patch the Saint’s Blessing, but please leave the Saint’s Sword itself as is.”
That is, by using this method, Hyun-soo could keep the saint’s sword that had become a famous sword.
“And the blessing of the saint is not to delete, but to lower… … .”
“So let’s talk about that downward move.”
The two men concluded the negotiation and shook hands.
“It’s already 11 o’clock at night, I apologize for the inconvenience.”
At that moment, something flashed through Hyunsoo’s mind.
“When will the Saint’s Sword patch be released?”
“I was planning to do it at 12 o’clock, but… … .”
Team Leader Wang narrowed his eyes.
“I would like to inform you that one of the conditions of the contract is that you cannot hold the Sword of the Saint and cannot leave a 1km radius of the Atlas until the patch.”
Team Leader Wang was preparing for an emergency.
Fortunately, Hyunsoo readily agreed.
“Of course, how could I leave a 1km radius with a sword like that? I have a conscience too. I also have the position of the team leader who signed the contract.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
With this, Team Leader Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
The two people were enveloped in light and Hyunsoo spoke.
“It was a good deal.”
Team Leader Wang smiled slightly as he looked at the smile on Hyun-soo’s lips.
‘thank god.’
Team Leader Wang, who returned to the Special User Management Team, spoke to Branch Manager Tao.
“User Hyunsu didn’t suggest anything outrageous, he was a user with common sense. The patch will be released in 1 hour and 30 minutes.”
“You’ve worked hard.”
Everyone there felt relieved.
Team Leader Wang turned his gaze to the monitor to see Hyun-soo, who had returned.
Then he made a puzzled expression.
“… … ?”
User Hyunsu was running with a childlike expression, holding the Saint’s Sword in one hand and the Twin Dragon Swords in the other.
-Hehehehehe.
Everyone was speechless at the notification that was soon heard.
[User Hyunsu has entered the Dragon’s Tomb.]
