Kyaang-! Kang-!
The sound of a hammer hitting hot metal rang out.
Little giant.
Dweno put his soul into his hammer.
The look was more serious than ever.
Grumbling!
A bright yellow flame spewed out from Dweno’s hand.
A flame that can also be seen as golden.
“Sharp enough to cut through black flames.”
Dweno muttered.
Kang! Kang!
“Strong enough not to be defeated by black flames.”
Deweno, who always praises beauty, made his weapons as beautiful as possible.
But I didn’t pay any attention to the black exterior I was creating now.
There were no beautiful patterns engraved on the blade.
The blade did not emit a bright light.
There was only one thing he had in his sword.
We hope that users will not be defeated by the flames of disaster.
Hwareuk-!
The bright yellow flame symbolizing Dweno shone brightly.
Kyle, who was watching the scene from the side, thought that the light was like gold.
Eventually, the flames died down.
Dweno stretched out his hand.
The sword was still red, but Dweno didn’t care.
As a dwarf who loved fire, he had a strong resistance to fire.
Tup-!
With the blade pointed downward, Dweno held out his sword to Kyle.
“Try holding it.”
Kyle paused at those words.
Dweno, who had immunity to heat, might not be affected by the heat of a red-hot sword, but Kyle was not.
After hesitating for a moment, Kyle immediately stretched out his hand.
Suddenly-
I felt a burning heat in my hand.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
But even for a moment.
The heat soon turned into warmth.
The red-hot sword soon turned transparent silver.
A crude longsword that is hard to believe was made by Dweno.
But the sword was perfect.
The moment I held it in my hand, it felt like it had become a part of my body.
Ugh-!
The sword spit out its name.
It responded to Kyle’s touch.
“This is a sword I made with inspiration from you.”
“Didn’t you say there was nothing to be inspired by in me?”
Dweno, who worships beauty, finds inspiration in all things beautiful.
In particular, I was most inspired by Lisinas and Luna.
Although not as much as two, I was also inspired by Aron.
However, he said he has never once been inspired by Kyle.
“It did. “He thought he couldn’t find inspiration in you.”
Dweno let out a low laugh.
“It didn’t seem like you had any dreams.”
The beauty Deweno talks about is not just about appearance.
He was a dwarf who believed that the process of a person pursuing a dream and achieving what they pursue was the greatest beauty.
Lisinas had a great desire to save the world.
Luna’s goal is to create a world in full bloom.
Aron dreamed of a world where many children in the world were not unhappy.
Deweno also had a dream of leaving behind a beautiful work of art.
But Kyle had nothing.
“To me, your insides looked like a pile of burnt ashes.”
“It’s not a wrong assessment.”
Kyle burst out laughing.
When I heard of Lycinas’ plan to subdue Erebos.
Even though Luna treated Risinas like a crazy person, she did not laugh at his wish.
Aron was frightened, but soon put faith and trust in Lysinas.
Although Deweno was dumbfounded, he gave his support to the grand idea.
But Kyle was different.

He laughed at Risinas when he first came to visit him, and even the moment they started their journey together, he ridiculed his dreams.
Now I can understand why that was the case.
‘Because I don’t have a dream.’
I struggled to survive each day.
That’s why the title he earned is a surviving hero.
A cursed hero whose companions all die.
A person whose only goal is to live each day without any ideals or goals to pursue.
Kyle thought that was him.
“Actually, I really didn’t like that about you.”
Dweno smiled bitterly.
“That might be why I turned my eyes away from you even more. “She thought there was nothing beautiful about you and turned away from you.”
“That’s a bit too much.”
“okay. “It was a lousy, ugly thing to do.”
Dweno looked down at his hands.
“Your gray color… … “It reminded me of my past.”
“You from the past?”
“okay.”
Dweno clenched his fist.
“People say I am a man loved by fire. But to me, this ability was a curse.”
After awakening his abilities at a young age.
Dweno said he burned everything he could get his hands on.
Everything around Dweno was desolate.
“It was unfortunate for a dwarf. “My flame melted even the anvil and the hammer.”
A fire monster that spewed flames that even the Great Spirit of Fire and Phoenix feared.
A cursed dwarf who turns everything to ashes.
“You said there was nothing left around you, so how did you become a crazy dwarf who doesn’t care about anything beautiful?”
“I hope you leave out the crazy dwarf.”
“Thank you for not calling me a perverted dwarf like Luna.”
Dweno said, looking at Kyle dissatisfied.
“One day, I saw it. “A beautiful elf woman.”
“Is that why you’re so obsessed with Luna being your model? “Because it reminds me of an elf I saw a long time ago?”
“Don’t compare her to Luna. That is her insult to herself.”
Dweno rarely showed a straight face.
In fact, the reason why Dweno often requests Luna as a model is simple.
This is because, as long as she keeps her mouth shut, she is a truly beautiful elf.
“She was a painter. “She was an artist who captured the world’s beautiful landscapes in her paintings.”
“I guess he was a famous painter?”
“No, he was just a wandering painter. “She was a woman who left her people because she was sick of elven society.”
Dweno smiled faintly.
“But the pictures she painted were really beautiful.”
He said that was the moment when Dweno was captivated by beauty.
“I tried to control my strength so as not to damage the beautiful things. And it worked.”
Dweno looked down at his hands.
“I hate myself when I couldn’t control my power. “The reason I turned away from you was because of my ugly desire to turn away from the past.”
Dweno looked at Kyle.
“Only recently have I been able to look straight at the person you are.”
“so? how is it? “Did you see something like a dream that could be inspiration?”
“No, you are still gray. “But she saw something she couldn’t see.”
“what is that?”
“It means that even though there is nothing, you don’t stop moving forward.”
Dweno’s eyes softened.
“And I found out that the reason was for our own good.”
In Deweno’s eyes, Kyle was a person who did not carry anything that was his own.
However, he silently carried his colleague’s burden.
“Once I realized that, I understood. “You, too, are a person with beauty that cannot be replaced by anyone else.”
Dweno grinned.
“The reason Lishinas chose you, the reason Luna relies on you the most, and the reason Aron wanted to be like you. “I don’t make weapons for people I don’t like, so I made weapons for you.”
Dweno stared at Kyle’s face.
“It must be because this body, an aesthetician, instinctively saw through your beauty.”
Dweno was flattered.
“So that sword is my greatest masterpiece.”
Kyle looked at the sword in his hand with slightly surprised eyes.
Dweno does not refer to the weapons he makes as ‘works’.
This is because Dweno doesn’t really like making weapons.
However, they just called the clunky long sword a masterpiece.
“That sword is just like yours. It doesn’t contain any mana. To others, it’s just a hard, sharp iron rod.”
For a sword made by Dweno, it was too shabby.
Dweno likes anything flashy.
“but… … “The moment you hold it in your hand, that sword can become anything.”
It can be a powerful weapon and a powerful magic wand.
Or, it can be a catalyst to summon a summoned beast.
“The only one in this world… … “It’s a sword for all classes only.”
Kyle looked down at the sword.
I could feel the sword reacting according to my abilities.
“What is the name of the sword?”
“Posteritas.”
Dweno smiled meaningfully at Leo’s question.
“It means the future.”
***
“This sword was Kyle’s sword.”
Mel was impressed by Leo’s muttering.
“How do future generations evaluate this sword?”
“Isn’t this a failure that Dweno left behind? “The dwarves are expecting it.”
All of Dweno’s weapons are so beautiful that it would not be strange to call them works of art.
Moreover, it still maintains its shape even after thousands of years.
Of course, almost none of the weapons used during the final expedition, which are considered to be Dweno’s greatest masterpieces, remain.
Even if it remains, it is on the verge of being destroyed in fierce battles, but it has managed to maintain its form.
However, this sword had the appearance of a clunky long sword and did not feel any power.
In addition, it is a sword whose shape has not been preserved properly.
Since the history of the sword was even more unknown, the dwarves considered this sword to be a failure created by Dweno.
“I can’t believe it was the sword Leo used.”
As Mel admired Leo, he spoke calmly.
“This is also the last sword Dweno made.”
“yes?”
‘After completing the sword, in the battle… … Dweno lost his life.’
Leo’s eyes sank.
‘Go ahead, Kyle. For those who will follow… … Make a way. That sword is for that purpose.’
Even as his lower body burned and his life was fading away, Dweno said that with his eyes burning like flames.
And carry on that meaning.
This sword succeeded in opening the way to the future.
“It can’t be said that it was Dweno’s last weapon… … .”
Mel was amazed to learn something she didn’t know before.
Mel, whose eyes were shining like a girl listening to an old story, suddenly realized something.
“Wait. That’s the story… … .”
“okay.”
Leo reached for his sword.
Ugh-!
Although it was already damaged to the point where it could not be called a sword, it broke 5,000 years of silence and responded to its owner’s call.
“This sword is the sword that defeated Erebos.”
Woe! widely-!
The sword hanging on the wall flew into Leo’s hand.
He seemed happy that it was in the hands of its owner after thousands of years.
The sword continued to resonate.
At the same time… … .
Ugh-! Ugh-!
Dweno’s legacy stored in the armory began to react.
Mel looked around the armory with a surprised expression.
Grumble-!
Yellow flames spewed out from Leo’s hand.
It was the flame of Dweno awakened by Phoebe’s divine power residing in Polium.
From this flame, all the weapons here were born.
‘Dweno did not call the weapons he made a work of art.’
Leo looked around Dweno’s legacy.
‘But that doesn’t mean I didn’t show affection.’
Dweno put his heart into making the weapon.
The reason why Dweno is called the blacksmith of God.
That’s because the warriors had will.
It is not a will made through magical engineering like the Ego Sword.
The will that lies purely in the weapon.
It seemed as if that will was shouting something.
‘These weapons were probably displayed like this for thousands of years at most, or close to hundreds of years at short.’
From the dwarves’ perspective, they would have wanted to preserve it carefully as it was a legacy left behind by the great blacksmith of the god.
But would these weapons want to rust like this?
Grumbling-
The weapons spewed bright yellow flames.
And in an instant, I returned to the bright days of the past.
Mel gaped at the sight.
“Right.”
Leo nodded at that.
I once asked Luna why she didn’t call the weapons she made “works.”
Dweno responded as follows.
‘The essence of a weapon is ultimately a tool for fighting.’
Dweno struck his weapon and spoke out of habit.
‘In the end, it’s something that has to be fought on the battlefield. So it can’t be called a work of art.’
Dweno smiled bitterly.
‘These kids… … Because it is destined to disappear from the battlefield one day. That may be the greatest happiness for these children.’
“You still… … “You mean you can fight?”
