Blacksmith Showdown (2)
“It’s started.”
Special User Management Team.
CEO Lee Se-jin visited to hear the story of the birth of the first new class in a virtual reality game.
Lee Se-jin, who was looking at Hyun-soo on the monitor with his arms crossed, smiled bitterly.
“Surely smart, you’ve already figured out how to use God’s customization.”
Lee Ji-hee looked puzzled after hearing that.
In fact, Lee Ji-hee let out an exclamation of admiration after confirming the title of God’s Blacksmith.
The first SSS-class title obtained by a user!
Moreover, he can be a blacksmith and a strong warrior.
Even the Blacksmith’s God can increase all effects of artifacts by 20%.
However, CEO Lee Se-jin said that God’s custom-made product was even more amazing.
“I’m sure you know, too, Ms. Lee Ji-hee. Even the ordinary blacksmiths of Ares can create the desired effect.”
“Of course.”
“Do you know what the % is for each grade?”
“Yes, beginner blacksmith up to 5%, intermediate 10%, advanced 15%, top 20%, artisan 25%, and master craftsman 40%.”
“What do you think?”
“… … I think the probability is extremely low.”
“Why did you put this probability so low?”
Lee Ji-hee thought deeply about that question.
It was a setting that was caught at the same time as the first Ares opening. So I never thought about why this % was so low.
“Do you remember the Fire Dragon’s Nest party?”
“Of course.”
The nest of the fire dragon.
A famous high-level hunting ground in Ares.
Recently, high rankers formed a party and tried to clear the Fire Dragon’s Nest, but failed.
The Fire Dragon’s Nest was filled with boiling lava, and they couldn’t stand the ridiculous heat.
“Why did they lose? In fact, if you just look at the levels of the mobs, it was easy enough to clear.”
“Because of the flame resistance.”
“Yes, it’s because of the fire resistance, but they all wear artifacts that dramatically increase their fire resistance?”
It certainly was.
Lee Ji-hee muttered as she thought about it deeply.
“It seems that the problem was that they took off the artifacts they normally wore and only wore things related to fire. In addition, the Fire Dragon’s armor increased their fire resistance, but it also had unnecessary skills and unnecessary stat effects attached to it.”
“That is correct.”
“yes?”
“Unnecessary skills and stat effects.”
Lee Se-jin displayed the information on Hwa-ryong’s armor on the monitor.
Increases fire resistance by 54%.
Defense 656
Wisdom increases by 3%.
Skill: Fire Dragon’s Strike.
Skill Salamander’s Wrath.
When Lee Ji-hee, who was checking him out, made a puzzled expression, Team Leader Kim Tae-seok, who was standing next to her, spoke with a frustrated expression.
“Employee Lee Ji-hee. How is the grade of an artifact determined?”
“… … This is general information.”
“That’s right, even if the user doesn’t need the stats, if they raise something a lot and have skills that look good, that’s the level that’s determined. But you know.”
Kim Tae-seok laughed in vain.
“The armor worn by warriors has a useless feature that increases Wisdom by 3%? What if you use the fire-resistant attack skills Fire Dragon’s Strike and Salamander’s Fury on fire-resistant monsters?”
“Because it is a fire monster, damage is halved.”
“That’s right, that’s the trap of artifacts. There is no artifact in the world that is ‘just’ right for the user.”
“ah……!”
Lee Ji-hee made an expression of understanding.
And then I checked the information on Hwa-ryong’s armor once again. My eyes widened as I looked at it.
“no way……!”
Lee Se-jin moved the mouse while giving a bitter smile to the inexperienced new employee.
“That’s right. Now, what if we remove the 3% Wisdom Increase, Fire Dragon’s Strike, and Salamander’s Fury effects that the user doesn’t need from the effects of this artifact? Will the artifact’s grade go down?”
Lee Ji-hee has now reached a complete understanding.
“No. If it’s a power based on the custom-made power of the gods, you can increase Wisdom by 3%, Salamander’s Wrath, and Fire Dragon’s Strike by removing them, so you can increase Defense and Fire Resistance additionally. Also, if you want, you can change the skill to something that is appropriate for the current situation and is absolutely necessary for the user.”
“This is a custom-made by God. Also, a custom-made by God can be applied to 100% of what the user has set. Even a master blacksmith can only set 25%.”
“… … .”
Lee Ji-hee was amazed.
The power to completely eliminate the unnecessary.
The power to put in only what the user absolutely needs.
It was a ‘tailor-made by God’ for someone or just for yourself.
***
A blacksmith who has been making weapons for decades has a sense of humor.
I think I’ll be able to create a very special weapon today, more so than usual.
My condition today is very good.

I feel like I can make anything today.
The moment the furnace was lit, Coulson noticed.
Kurrururur-!
‘Today, I will create an excellent sword.’
The reason he is the top blacksmith of bows is because he makes bows better than anyone else.
That’s why he was infinitely inferior to Dang when it came to sword making.
But today was different.
I feel like I can touch something he created.
I’ve been waiting for this day.
Coulson, who had been feeling inferior to Dang, had been struggling to make a pretty good sword.
Although this sword was not aimed at Dang, Coulson completed it after struggling.
One recipe.
‘Someday… … .’
He had a dream of having a showdown with the blacksmith, the top blacksmith of the swordsmanship.
And I imagined myself brutally destroying the sword of Dang, who was at the top of all blacksmiths.
possible.
If Dang’s condition is not good that day and your condition is good.
A crafting recipe that might even be able to beat the Blacksmith’s Tower.
Using that method, I’ve made the same things dozens, hundreds of times.
‘It was to increase understanding.’
Unlike the automatic buttons of strangers, NPCs compete with skill and special powers.
That’s why Coulson has been constantly increasing his understanding of the production method.
“What are you going to do with the sword made by that foreigner?”
Coulson answered confidently to the question of the shieldsmith’s tower master, Wreck.
“I will render that sword useless.”
The number of times you can clash swords is 3.
However, if the damage exceeds 60% at that time, it can cause loss of function.
It is nothing more than a blunt, black weapon with its blade completely cut off.
The tower commanders said as they watched Coulson begin to forge ahead.
“You sound more cheerful today.”
Taaaaang-!
Taaaaang-!
“I will show you, a child with the awkward name of Descendant of God. How vast the world is, and how there are things that even a Descendant of God cannot do.”
The tower commanders also do not look kindly on the arrogant stranger named Hyun-soo.
Time flies.
But Coulson still felt light as if he could fly.
This sword, which has been made through dozens of recipes, is taking shape.
Cheeeeek-!
I felt it during the pickling process and finally during the polishing process.
The power transmitted through those fingertips.
‘This is… … .’
I knew that this would be the best sword I’d ever made.
Finally finished.
“……and.”
“It’s a great sword.”
“Captain Coulson, you’ve shown incredible skill with swords!”
Coulson was in a trance as he looked at the sword he had created.
‘It’s beautiful… … .’
A sword made of black.
A sharp blade that seems capable of breaking any sword.
The wisdom of the forge master, the right choice of materials, proper forging and proper quenching.
And even his own experiences were incorporated into it.
“Come and check it out!”
To everyone’s amazement, Coulson confirmed it.

Description: A long sword with a black sheen, created with amazing skill by the master of the bow blacksmith’s tower.
“Wow… … .”
“Wow… … You are truly amazing!”
“You’ve achieved something new!”
Coulson was dumbfounded as he received congratulations from the other blacksmiths.
Unique bow.
He has crafted 41 unique bows so far, but this is his first unique sword.
He was overcome with emotion.
“It looks like they’ve finished production on that side too.”
The shieldsmith’s lacquer possessed a mysterious power. It was the ability to see without having to see it directly.
[Insight]
[Check the opponent’s artifact grade.]
[This is a rare grade.]
Rex slowly opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
“That one is rare. It’s over.”
“… … Is that so.”
A victor’s smile appeared on Coulson’s lips.
It’s already a match with nothing to see.
But Coulson held onto the Dark Night tightly.
God of blacksmiths.
The thought of his descendant’s sword being so badly destroyed that it would be rolling around in his forge sent a shiver down his spine.
‘It’s a complete success.’
Coulson, a master blacksmith, was able to induce this sword to render his opponent’s sword unusable, and here is the proof.
(Weapon Breaker)
Passive Skill
Required horsepower: None.
Description: Activates with a 25% chance and significantly reduces the durability of the opponent’s weapon depending on the sword’s attack power.
With this power, it is possible to break the author’s sword to less than 50% damage as originally intended.
‘No, if it’s worse than I thought… … .’
More than 60% was possible.
A stranger named Hyunsoo walked out of his forge.
It was a pretty decent looking sword, but it seemed far inferior to the black sword, Heukya.
Dangyi stood in their midst to begin the blacksmith’s showdown.
And Coulson didn’t miss Dang’s distorted expression.
‘Have you seen this too? This sword I made.’
Coulson let out a groan inwardly.
Hyunsoo laughed at the stranger standing across from him.
“If you give up right now and just come under me, I’ll give you the position I offered you earlier.”
“it’s okay.”
“You’re being stubborn, but just looking at it like this, you can tell that the level of artifacts you and I created are worlds apart.”
The difference between rare and unique was huge.
But doesn’t he know the grade of his artifact?
He made a face as if it was no big deal. He would find out soon anyway.
[The blacksmith competition begins.]
[You can clash swords 3 times.]
Coulson grabbed the black night with both hands and pulled it back.
Hyunsoo looked at Dang for a moment.
“Is it right to wet it like this?”
“Lean back a little further so I can hit you with all my might.”
Coulson laughed, his eyes shining like a wolf’s.
[1 time.]
Coulson, who was holding the Dark Night tightly, swung it diagonally with all his might.
The opponent was also seen swinging diagonally.
The moment when two swords met.
Kaaaaaaang-!
[Weapon Breaker]
[Activates with a 25% chance and significantly reduces the durability of the opponent’s weapon depending on the sword’s attack power.]
[Reduces the opponent’s weapon durability by 18%.]
The teeth on the sword of the stranger, Hyeon-su, were sharp.
[2 times.]
Kaaaaaaang-!
[Weapon Breaker]
I was lucky.
Weapon Breaker activates twice in a row.
[Reduces the opponent’s weapon durability by 16%.]
Noticeably, the teeth on Hyun-soo’s sword were gone.
No, if he went any further, his sword might become useless.
And lastly.
Sugaaaaak-!
Coulson was in a state of ecstasy as he wielded his sword.
[Weapon Breaker]
Once again the Black Night breathed light to devour his sword.
Everything was perfect today.
A great sword was created and Weapon Breaker was activated three times in a row.
‘It’s over… … .’
at that time.
‘uh?’
The man’s sword was engulfed in an unidentifiable white light.
and.
Skaaaaak-!
‘What is this sound…?’
His sword and the man’s sword clashed. No, it seemed like they did.
But the opponent’s sword passed by, cutting through his own sword.
And then something incomprehensible happened.
Srrrr-
The black night was cut off and fell to the ground.
Tangrang-!
‘The sword, was cut… …?’
The accident stops.
No, this is impossible.
That’s impossible.
It’s a black break, not a cut. It’s something I’ve never experienced in my life.
But the accident is proven.
[The blacksmith competition ends.]
[The damage of the Dark Night is 99%.]
Yeah, it was cut.
Sword cut by sword.
A man looking at his own shaking pupils. Hyunsoo puts his sword back into its scabbard.
Srrrrung-
He turned around with an indifferent look in his eyes and said.
“It’s not just determined by the black grade.”
