Episode 207: An Old Bet -4-
OMG.
The machine is turning.
A giant ring separates from the ground and floats up.
A three-dimensional magic circle was shining, connecting the ring and space.
A magical weapon floating in the center.
No, two, three.
The magical spirits came rushing in in droves.
[Prints the interpreted magic circle.]
Golden crow hat, belt and shoes.
The magic circle engraved there is dismantled piece by piece.
Each one is interpreted and output into space.
The Matop supercomputer transferred it to the central monitor.
[Air leap, mental protection, magic boost, body shield, attribute attack… … .]
Next step.
[Magic circle separation is implemented.]
Chiik, chiik.
Magic drones shoot magic beams at close range.
Accordingly, the exposed magic circle separated little by little.
The idea is to dismantle, mix, and combine to create a new magic circle.
Of course, this alone is not enough.
No matter how state-of-the-art the facilities of the Sun Tower are, and no matter how great the magical spirits’ computational abilities are, they still require human intervention.
[This is the final melting stage.]
“You have to be careful.”
“Don’t worry.”
I opened the thick door and entered the workshop.
Gugugugu.
A cylindrical structure descends over my head.
To be exact, on top of the three Geum-o sets.
“Phew.”
I’m nervous.
What is contained within the structure is none other than geotakhwa.
It’s explosive so you have to be careful.
Because if I fail to control my temper, it will explode immediately.
You won’t die, but it will hurt enough to make you want to die.
Reach out.
Concentrate your mind and release the highest energy.
Golden flames bloomed like flower petals, enveloping the Geum-o set.
Wow!
The fire melts the magical weapon.
It cannot be completely dissolved.
Instead, you can create a loose connection between magic and magic, metal and metal, magic core and jewel.
[The polar melting begins.]
Whew Whew Whew.
The cylindrical structure howls violently.
Then a spray of red flames.
It’s not a perfect polarization.
Jikjeokhwa is a magic that condenses power to its maximum and then explodes it.
Condensed flames, the purest element of fire, were falling towards the Geum-o set.
He waved his hand.
The golden talisman swirls in a long circle.
It didn’t move very well.
The flame of that mad tyrant is the climax.
Gulp, a drop of sweat runs down my forehead.
If you make one mistake, it’ll all blow up right away.
I calmly controlled my magic power while glaring at the red polarity.
Fortunately, in recent days, after talking with Matapju, the traits he had gained while contributing to the stability of Jigeukhwa were shining.
[understanding]
Without this, I wouldn’t have been able to control the geomancy that wasn’t even magic I used.
The magical power was also terrifying.
I barely managed to match Thor’s technique by using my magical powers and intelligence.
Magic recovery, deep breathing, and magic absorption are good, but intelligence is even better because it clears your head.
In this situation, only magic is being used.
[Melting is complete. Entering the disintegration phase.]
Wheeing.
Magic drones are flying in.
Each of them is holding specially made tongs, chisels, and other implements.
I also held Mjolnir.

Equip the craftsman and change the characteristics appropriately.
He delicately carves three magical weapons.
Zzz! Zzz! Zzz!
The magic circle must not be damaged.
It is not acceptable for parts to be damaged.
It was such a detailed and complex task that my fingers started shaking involuntarily.
No, no, no.
I maintained the focus trait from beginning to end, and with the assistance of the magic spirit, I carved out each and every one of the magic blueprints added to the Geum-o set.
“Whew!”
Finally, the dismantling phase is over.
From outside, you can see the top of the tower raising its thumb.
But it was just the beginning.
[Reassembly begins. Adding additional materials.]
A magical drone flies in, carrying a bundle of materials on its mechanical arm.
Rare materials such as dragon horn, bones, and scales.
It’s not like I’m just using it as is.
For several days, the wizards worked on it, processing and compressing it as much as possible.
Materials that will make you a dragon slayer when you make a sword, and a dragon set when you make armor.
Magic drones pile materials on top of the parts.
Then simply glue it with a magic ray.
It would collapse if a child pushed it lightly, but this can be melted and glued back together.
[This is the stage of supremacy and polarization combination.]
The combination is my part.
Following Mjolnir, Aegis was also deployed.
Carefully place the magic weapon and then change its characteristics.
[Jigohwa][Thor’s training method][Magic soul]
[Magic Resistance][Understanding][Intelligence]
First, the highest.
Burn it thoroughly with flame.
The roughly piled up parts melt slightly and stick together.
Project a magic circle between them.
The emotionless voice of the magical spirit pierced my eardrums.
[This is the fusion stage.]
“Ugh!”
Take a breath and switch traits.
[Craftsman][Crafting][Modification]
[Sacred][Intuition][Magic Resistance]
Strike down Mjolnir.
Bang!
It hits again.
Kyaang!
It hits again.
Kyaaang!
This is the most important step.
You must not lose concentration.
Not only the dragon materials, but also the entire gold set may fly away.
While governing the extremes of the extremes and the extremes, perfect fusion must be achieved.
Obviously, you shouldn’t just fix the characteristics and hammer them away.
All in on Jijihwa?
Fusion is not possible due to lack of craftsman traits.
All in on the hammering?
The extremes and extremes run wild and explode.
So my choice is trait switching.
When striking a hammer, use the craftsman set.
Conversely, when raising the hammer, use the high-level set.
I put all my effort into creating the artifact, changing the characteristics halfway through the movement.
“her…….”
The tower outside opens its mouth.
The other elders also looked impressed, but not as much as Matapju.
You can see the rooftop.
My trait change.
A natural talent that changes in real time.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
My breathing is getting faster.
Magic resistance makes it hard to breathe even though I’m still using it.
The work itself would have been impossible without wearing an oxygen breathing magic mask and full body protective suit in advance.
Equipment that would let you swim with a smile even when entering lava.
Even wearing something like this, if it’s this hot, isn’t it almost like getting close to the sun?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Keep hammering.
There isn’t much time left now.
The three magical weapons are slowly taking shape.
I hammered with all my might, but with delicate movements so as not to damage the magical weapon.
Huang. Huaang.
The light is flickering.
The magic light spreads.
Each one has a similar yet different glow, growing and shrinking like a heartbeat.
The crown stands alone and the belt and shoes match each other.
I realized it intuitively.
The fact that the end is near.
[This is the final imprinting stage.]
There’s only one hammer left.
“Hueuheuup.”
One deep breath, almost to the point where your lungs burst.
[Craftsman][Divine Power][Emotion]
[Sacred][Lightning][Earth]
Magic resistance was also erased.
The flames are threatening to penetrate masks and protective clothing and burn skin and internal organs.
But I was faster.
Mjolnir and Aegis, Sky Lightning and Infinite Earth collided head-on.
Kwaaaaang!
Imprint.
The power of the two gods puts the final touch.
Never before have the two gods blessed me.
However, it was enough power and force to reassemble and fuse the disintegrated magic circle and the separated magic core and parts.
So much so that at least 30% of the original artifact production process of the Sun Tower is omitted.
Flash!
There is a flash of light.
The cylindrical structure that had been hanging over your head quietly disappears.
Instead, a pure white ice magic was poured out throughout the workshop.
The thermometer, which had been pointing to thousands of degrees, quickly dropped.
The door opened with a bang and Matapju jumped in.
“Geumseong! Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Cheeeeeee.
Equipped with all the characteristics including magic resistance, fire resistance, and supremacy.
The water vapor was evaporating.
Condensed moisture rises as a cloud of steam.
The top priest checked on me and looked relieved.
“Thank goodness. Why didn’t you just leave it to us? It took a while, but we would have made it stable.”
“It’s taking too long.”
“Even so, it’s only a month.”
“A month is a long time.”
I only hammered for 8 hours.
I only stayed for a week, observing and advising on the stability of the area.
It’s one month versus one week.
I can’t stand this.
I don’t know what kind of results three weeks will bring.
“Shall we check it out?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Matapju twirled his fingers.
While I was catching my breath, a magical weapon with various electronic devices installed, including a communication device and a video device, floated toward me.
A golden dragon belt that resembles an oriental dragon, not a dragon itself.
Phoenix shoes with dynamic movements that make it seem as if they are about to fly.
A crown decorated with majestic intersecting horns of black and gold.
No, it’s a bit lower in rank, so I should call it a monarchy.
When you receive the magic weapon, the magic hologram activates.
A speech bubble floated by the Sun Tower magic spirit.
Inside it were detailed specifications for the three magical weapons.
“Haha. It came out better than I expected.”
“Because it was blessed with lightning and the earth. It would have been better if I were a knight. I would have been a divine being.”
New growth, as it is commonly called.
The characteristics of a priest and a craftsman.
I don’t have faith, so I can’t create new growth traits.
I guess it’s good.
All three magical weapons came out as final bosses at SSR level.
“The belt and shoes are a set.”
“Yes. I reduced the three sets to two.”
The Golden Dragon Belt contains the Golden Ox Reinforcement, and the Phoenix Shoes contain the Golden Ox Leap.
What about Geumohmo’s Geumohan?
It’s a 2-set effect.
The original set effect, Geum-o, was included as a 1-set effect.
What if I use 2 sets together?
It is strengthened by the Golden Dragon. All of the effects of the Golden Dragon are amplified.
In reality, it is two pieces attached with a two-set effect.
“Even I think the monarch is amazing.”
“I can guarantee you that this is the best helmet of all. Nothing is better than this, except the legendary Dragon Crown.”
The characteristic of the Dragon Monarch is [Monarchy].
It was very different from the Dragon Lord, although the name was similar.
[Majesty] Subdue those weaker than you.
[Self-esteem] Eliminates external magical and mental attacks.
[Cold] Maintain your composure in any situation.
[Dragon Brain] Strengthens magical power control and magical calculation abilities.
[Verb] Communicate in the language of dragons.
To be honest, it’s more useful for wizards or priests.
But it’s not bad.
It is said that it has five sub-traits as a nested trait.
Like Mjolnir or Aegis.
Considering that Star Spawn has five traits, including the top and bottom, it’s truly amazing.
It is the best item before you steal the divine power by beating the god.
The rooftop terrace whetted my appetite.
“I wish they had included the Corpse Dragon material in the Geumoh set as well.”
“That’s hard. The Monarch’s Crown is basically like remaking it from scratch, but isn’t the Sun Buddha set just an enhanced version of the Golden O set?”
“The Sun-Blooded Setra, what a wonderful name.”
“Because the Lord of the Tower built it.”
Matapju smiles happily.
The Sun Tower also gained a lot.
I unpacked the Golden Dragon and Corpse Dragon materials, the High-level Experimental Data, and the Geum-o Set, and also obtained the Dragon Monarch Crown Blueprint and the Sun Buddha Set Blueprint.
Does that mean I can make a Dragon Monarch Crown or a Sun Buddha set?
It’s impossible.
Because there is no such thing as supremacy.
Also, artifacts cannot be created with just polarization.
What do you expect from explosive magic?
Eventually, the polarity will need to be modified for production purposes or the solar flames will need to be increased in power, which will take at least several years.
In the first place, the research for Episode 9 to be released in the game was not completed.
“Black. It’s a gift.”
“What is this?”
“Open it and take a look.”
A small magic box presented by Matapju.
When I opened it, the sun tower curtain was shining.
Wizards don’t wear it often because it’s annoying, but I know what it is.
Sun Tower Elder Badge.
It was a much higher level item than the Honorary Knight and Guardian Insignia I had been carrying around.
“I will appoint Geomseong as our tower’s honorary elder and give him a research lab on the upper floor of the tower. He will be paid a monthly honorarium and research expenses, and if necessary, I will assign him a research wizard and a magic assistant.”
“You’re an honorary elder?”
“If you want, I can give you the actual position of elder.”
The elders’ faces don’t look very good.
Of course so.
Because if I really become the Elder of Matap, I’ll have to share the power.
It wouldn’t be right for a warrior, not a wizard, to become an elder.
I’m also annoyed.
Why are you crawling into the sun tower?
It would be better to receive the title of honorary elder and just receive some maintenance expenses and research funds.
That alone easily amounts to tens of billions a month.
“No. The position of elder. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps. If I get that position, don’t I have to attend regular meetings? And I have to produce research results.”
“Haha, that’s right.”
“The title of Honorary Elder is sufficient. I will gratefully accept it.”
Then the elders’ faces brighten.
I can see everything inside, I can see it.
When Matapju placed the elder’s badge on my chest, over the three existing badges, the elders applauded with one heart and one mind.
“Congratulations!”
“Now that the Black Star has become a member of our Magic Tower, all that’s left for our Magic Tower to do is continue to develop!”
“If you have time, how about conducting joint research?”
“Looking at it, the extreme and the extreme go together really well… … ”
“If you combine the extreme fire and the supreme fire, it will rival even the fire of Amaterasu. Maybe it will even surpass it!”
I’m not interested.
The unification of the extreme and the supreme that is not implemented in the game.
There was some bait.
What is certain is that if the unification is successful, it will become a wizard-type trait.
Sunfire and Dragon Flame were used without any series restrictions thanks to the chaos effect, but the characteristics that are on par with [Amaterasu’s Fire] are not enough for chaos effect.
It’s like a pie in the sky.
I don’t have a hobby of studying magic that I can’t use.
“I’m a little busy.”
“It’s a shame. But you still have to have the inauguration ceremony, right?”
“Why do you need to do that? Just give me a press release. I have to go right away.”
“No, what’s the rush?”
No hurry.
Episode 2 is just around the corner.
Even the week I spent at the Sun Tower was a waste.
After chatting for a bit, we boarded the Red Cougar.
The goal has been set.
A point where high-level zombies pour out in large numbers during a zombie outbreak.
A place you must pass through before fighting the Corpse Dragon.
A dungeon where the level 7 boss, the reinforced skeletal corpse golem, appears.
It was a magic science exoskeleton factory.
