I Raise a Skeleton Episode 44
Crafting a weapon with the first soul
“Hoo, hoo.”
My breathing was ragged.
Even if it is a country that has experienced all the strange things in the world.
For now, I just wanted to put everything down and rest.
I wanted to stretch out.
[100% completion]
Trembling.
My whole body was shaking.
Every muscle joint was numb.
How long has it been since I swung my hammer, feeling the ‘chi’ with my bones?
It must have been over 7 days at most.
“Seriously… … I stayed up all night!”
“You can go a week without sleeping and keep pounding… … .”
The surrounding dwarves were also looking at him with amazed eyes.
“You have to admit it! That’s right, this was the soul of a blacksmith!”
“Even if it was something that was commonly seen in the ancestors’ time… … it is a great passion.”
Even though they screamed in excitement.
He looked at me as if I was looking at a mysterious animal.
Toouk!
Bone put down the hammer.
As if he had used up all his energy, he leaned against the wall next to him and sank to the ground.
“Good job, guy.”
My voice was trembling too.
It had to be that way.
Because the ‘work’ I had painstakingly created for a week greeted me with a splendid light before my eyes.
‘This is… … Titan’s Thunder Hammer.’
I gently picked up the handle of the hammer.
Then, a message that only I could see filled the air.
[congratulations!]
[The weapon you create has a ‘soul’ in it.]
[The weapon’s grade has been adjusted upward!]
[Obtain ‘Titan’s Thunder Hammer’ (S-rank).]
“… … ?”
what?
What, I didn’t see anything wrong, did I?
My body froze as soon as I placed my hand on the hammer.
I rubbed my eyes with my other hand.
‘S-class?’
I checked again and it was the same.
The weapon made with the A-grade blueprint was clearly of S-grade.
[Item: Special Titan’s Thunder Hammer]
[Rating: S]
[Type: Hammer]
[Description: The power of thunder is infused into steel and mithril. Although the level is low, the hammer, forged with passion, shows off its appearance.]
[Effect 1: Strength increases by 50.]
[Effect 2: Attack speed increases by 200%.]
[Effect 3: Damage increases by 100% against the ‘Elf’ race.]
[Effect 4: Only the ‘Dwarf’ race can use it.]
[Effect 5: When hit, a thunderous sound rings out.]
“iced coffee……!”
I couldn’t close my gaping mouth.
First of all, the performance is crazy.
Its performance is almost the same as the ‘Fire Dragon Staff’ that Bone-O is holding!
There was a bit of a limitation that only dwarves could use it, but it didn’t matter anyway.
Because I originally intended to give it to the dwarves.
‘Something like this… … .’
Are you saying that I really made this with my own hands?
Something stirring in my chest washed away the fatigue that had built up throughout my body.
[The status of ‘Bone 6’ is adjusted.]
[Proficiency increases by 5.]
[Proficiency increases by 4.]
[The skill ‘Intermediate Item Crafting’ (Lv.2) increases in level by 1.]
[Proficiency increases by 11.]
… … .
[Proficiency increases by 8.]
[The skill ‘Intermediate Item Crafting’ (Lv.3) increases in level by 1.]

[Proficiency increases by 7.]
[All stats increase by 2!]
In exchange for creating one weapon, you gain tremendous skill.
The ‘Intermediate Item Crafting’ skill has been raised to level 4, and various stats have also increased.
“… … .”
This was a tremendous achievement.
Just because you leveled up?
That wasn’t the concept.
‘Bone Meat created an S-class with only an intermediate level 2.’
then.
What will happen as you gain more skill in the future?
What if the skill level goes up and reaches Advanced or Ultimate?
What if I take Lv·MaX?
“… … .”
I was speechless.
Performance that may even be better than S-class.
It is possible that an SS-grade item that has not appeared in 10 years of history, or an item of a higher grade, may appear.
‘I probably won’t be able to make it again for a while.’
That’s what immersion is all about.
It’s not that I’m consciously falling for it.
It just comes naturally.
There should be no greed or distracting thoughts in the process.
There should only be a pure heart directed towards that ‘soul’.
This week’s journey is… … .
I poured my all into it.
‘still.’
From now on, I definitely plan to participate in weapon production.
You have to try.
“……you.”
Tonyr came and grabbed my hand.
“Thank you very much. I never thought I would see a hammer like the family heirloom again in my lifetime. This thunder hammer you made will be in the hands of a strong dwarf. It will make its presence known by flashing lightning in the wires. Every time we do, we will think of you. You are truly… … a true benefactor to our Rock Clan.”
[The Rock Clan is grateful to you.]
[The favorability rating changes.]
[Rock Clan: 75]
[Forest Clan: 25]
‘hmm.’
The favorability rating has changed again.
Instead of the Rock Clan’s favorability rating increasing by 5, the Elves’ favorability rating decreased by 5.
No, why on earth is the elf favorability rating dropping?
‘this…….’
It felt cheap.
It seems like there’s some sort of balancing effect on the favorability of both races.
There was a high possibility that the sum would be 100.
So does that mean it’s impossible to fully fill the favorability ratings of both races?
‘Hmm.’
I was in a difficult situation.
The final quest in this dungeon is to resolve the conflict between the two races.
To do that, it would be common sense to raise the favorability ratings of both races at the same time.
‘I guess we should start moving now.’
No matter how good the production job is.
I can’t stay in this area day and night.
To be blunt, this place is inside a dungeon.
This is a place you have to clear and leave.
The moment when the excited emotions slowly subsided.
“The summons has come! The summons has come!”
It was then that someone’s voice flowed in.
It was a new dwarf who came up from the village.
“Chairman, Volcanus has called a meeting! The people who will be called are the representatives of each village, Dagnar! And you!”
The dwarf pointed at me with his finger.
“Me?”
“That’s right! You! The deadline is tomorrow at noon! The Titan Central Conference Room!”
“… … .”
Chairman, Volcanus is looking for me?
I could guess.
Finally, we’re getting into the thick of things.
“Okay, let’s go.”
I nodded slowly.
* * *
“you.”
Dagnar blinked next to him.
“Don’t you have any sense of how wonderful it is to be able to welcome the Chairman!”
He talked about the summons.
He spoke passionately.
“Even if you are of a different race from us, I thought you would know this much. No! If you don’t know, then you should know. What kind of person the Chairman is. And what does it mean when the Chairman calls a meeting?”
“… … Yes, yes, so you’re saying that the chairman is very strong and doesn’t issue summons carelessly?”
“I told you it wasn’t just that? It’s been 50 years! 50 years! He’s someone who doesn’t even show his face! That must mean he’s been keeping an eye on you!”
“… … .”
It was definitely great.
Of course, it is great in another sense.
The author is the leader of a race.
They’ve been at war with other races for hundreds of years, yet they’ve never shown their face.
What kind of a terrible race is this?
Was my expression too revealing?
Dagnar took a deep breath.
“I can clearly see what you are thinking.”
“That’s true. Chairman, if Volcanus is that strong, why don’t he just get involved and end the war?”
“That can’t be.”
He shook his head.
“why?”
“It’s a promise with the opposing high elf queen.”
“yes?”
What does that mean?
If it’s an elf, then it’s the opposing team.
You don’t fight to keep your promise with the opposing team?
What the hell is that, fart?
“Well, what do you think the meaning of war is?”
“War? It’s just a fight. A fight to the death.”
“That’s right. Isn’t that why they fight a war, because they want to gain something from it? But what if Volcanus and the High Elf Queen join the war… …? Neither of them will gain anything.”
“… … .”
“If just the two of them fight, not only the two clans, but all the races in the world will be destroyed. No, the world will collapse. They are that strong.”
“Is that it?”
“Right now, Volcanus alone is a powerful being that all the existing elves and dwarves would not be able to defeat even if they came together with one mind and will. The same goes for the High Elf Queen.”
“… … Ugh.”
“That’s why we don’t use force under a pact.”
this.
It was a world with more imbalance than I thought.
Well, if you look at it in terms of balance, the Earth would be the same.
Isn’t this similar to how the US and the Soviet Union went to war with each other and decided not to use nuclear weapons?
Chairman Volcanus.
He was like a nuclear bomb to the Rock Clan.
‘then.’
It is said that he is almost in the same position as the absolute ruler of this world.
Suddenly, the old man Mansul and the sun window overlap.
Who would win if they fought?
‘You can just check.’
The way to find out is simple.
Tomorrow I meet the chairman.
Let’s call the old man.
* * *
The capitol at the center of Titan was truly magnificent.
Just by looking at the design of the building, you could tell how great the construction skills of the ancestral dwarves were.
“Wow, I never thought I would set foot on this land in my lifetime. It’s all thanks to you.”
Dagnar seemed more excited than usual.
“It’s a place that only village council members can come to. Hehe, life goes on and on, all sorts of things happen.”
“… … .”
He was talking next to me, but I couldn’t concentrate.
No, to be exact, my whole body was stiff.
‘This is crazy.’
The dwarves I met in the village were just nothing.
One, two.
The power of the lawmakers gathered in the building is roughly estimated to be greater than that of the rankers.
Perhaps because the level of Taecheongsimbeop has risen recently, their power has become even more frightening.
‘Their power is not something that can be ignored.’
Even if all the authors gather together, they can’t find a chairman?
Volcanus.
I wondered what kind of person he was.
“But you, why?”
Dagnar tilted his head next to him.
“Your complexion looks very pale.”
“No, that’s not true. Should I just follow them in?”
“I guess so. Don’t think I know more than you. As I said, this is my first time here too.”
Oh, that’s right.
I shook off my thoughts and took a step forward.
At the same time, he summoned the old man.
[Use the skill, ‘Teachings of Manjushri’ (S-rank).]
[Uses 20 stamina.]
[The ‘Master of Magic’ appears.]
“Hmm, this guy. Is he finally done hammering?”
‘Elder.’
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, the old man Mansul’s brow furrowed.
I asked myself.
‘Why are you doing that?’
“Where is this place?”
‘They say that this is where the most important being in the world exists. They said they were looking for me.’
“You bastard.”
‘yes?’
“Be careful.”
uh?
I was surprised.
Old people are originally very arrogant.
He is the strongest, and even when he meets Taeyangchang, his momentum is not broken.
Rather, I said I would win unconditionally.
‘however.’
Be careful?
“I feel a creepy strong energy surrounding me. Huh, at this point, I could even rub shoulders with myself in my prime… … .”
“… … .”
Volcanus.
A being of that level?
If you look at something that strong.
Also, it seems like he likes training more than blacksmithing.
It certainly wouldn’t be the case when the flesh and bones are alive.
‘anyway.’
I don’t have to worry.
[Rock Clan: 75]
Because the affinity with the Rock Clan is high.
Besides, dwarves are a race that knows grace.
If you want to help me, then do it, and don’t harm me.
Thud, thud.
I walked towards the magnificently built door.
I guess we walked for a long time.
Kookung!
A large space appeared.
A low table was visible, filling the center of the room.
A place that can only be accessed by those who have reached a certain level of skill as a dwarf.
The holy place among holy places.
It was the scene of the Senate chamber of the Rock Clan.
