. Chuhonsayeong (追魂斜影)

Saak .

A familiar energy tickled his skin.

Although they had never met in person, Cheon Yu-seong immediately recognized who the opponent was.

The person who invented the Chuhon Sword (追魂劍).

Eccentric, which I thought would have died a long time ago and became a skeleton, has now appeared in front of my eyes.

"Hmm. You are a child named Cheon Yoo-seong."

She looks like she's just passed her 20's.

Baek Sullin was also embarrassed if she was the second child to be beautiful, but even that woman was nothing compared to her wedding ceremonies.

It was hard to believe that the aura that came out of her jet-black hair and clear eyes was like a fairy tale recorded in fairy tales.

It wasn't dead... it wasn't.

I was able to enjoy a long life thanks to the metamorphosis of the bones and the return of a child. Of course, there were some restrictions due to the tower...

Was it like that?

Giyeon gained while skinning the tower system and walls.

Now I understand why Chuhonsayeong was able to be here.

What is the reason for such a hideout... why did you come to me?

I felt the same thing from you. A talent different from the criminal. And a desire that was not satisfied with that alone.

Chuhonsayeong slowly fixed the sword and grabbed it.

You have mastered the sword of the soul. It was quite interesting to see this child through someone else's sword. However, it still has an immature taste.

Whoops.

The Basic Form that Cheon Yoosung opened a while ago .

No, it was demonstrated that a sophisticated and elegant sword that could not be compared with him.

It's a perfect sword dance that makes you goosebumps.

Cheon Yu-seong fell into the sword of Chu Hon Sa-yeong, enough to forget even the passing of time.

'Is this a true soul sword?'

If only I could learn all these phrases... .

If you could make all of this your own.

He will definitely be able to surpass Jinhyuk.

And finally. The sword dance of one measure was finished.

Chuhonsayoung looked at Cheonyuseong with clear eyes.

It doesn't matter if it's a lie. If you think it's a means to an end, I understand. Just swear that you'll use your sword for me to reach the end.

Even if it is dotted with pretense.

And even if you don't know what the consequences will be.

Chuhon Sa-yeong asked Cheon Yu-seong to set the example of a teacher.

'already There is no other way than this.'

He was ready to throw everything away in order to become stronger.

But at the last moment, Jinhyuk's face appeared in Cheon Yoosung's mind.

I always thought he was an abomination and smirk.

For some reason, the thought of seeing his disappointed expression made my heart flutter.

Whoops!

'Don't think of it as betrayal. Because you and I have been enemies from the beginning.'

The worries didn't last long.

I'll see you, Master.

Cheon Yoosung gave an example.

When the time for sunrise is near.

Jinhyeok followed Penheimer to the 'Imperial Treasure Warehouse' located on the outskirts of the capital.

While the seemingly plausible treasures were located inside the Imperial Palace, this was the place where the real treasures cherished and treasured by the Imperial Family were collected.

We're all here now. The door will be open, so please wait here for a moment.

With a large cliff in front of him, Penheimer put his palms on the rocks.

kukuku bang!

Suddenly, the rock began to move left and right, creating a space that could fit one person.

Hey. That's a lot of work for humans. The way the door opens only when the authorized subject supplies the correct amount of mana. If this is the case, security will be sure.

Elise let out a small sigh.

However, the surprise did not end there.

The moment you enter the treasure trove.

Enormous treasures beyond imagination greeted everyone.

'After all, it's absurd to have a plan like a giant force.'

Jinhyuk's eyes gleamed with greed.

From various magical weapons to rare Artifacts that were priced outrageously on the coin exchange.

If you put this in front of you, anyone will have no choice but to salivate.

It was painful to have to choose only one thing here, but if you choose the best one, you will be relieved to some extent.

Oh! Can't I choose just one? I really like this shiny gem.

Elise grabbed a blue diamond the size of a fist with a remorseful expression on her face.

It is not at the level of going to the streets of Hongdae and asking you to buy a favorite accessory.

At a glance, they were trying to rip off the jewels that could buy all the buildings in Hongdae.

They are coveting all the expensive wines... .

As a Penheimer, I can't help but get upset.

Gye, Jinhyuk-sama was the only one who signed the contract, so that's a bit...

Penheimer was sweating as if in trouble, but it was impossible for such words to reach Ellis' ears.

thanks.

Jusom Jusom.

One by one the wines were sucked into the subspace inventory.

No. I didn't even say a word of giving.

Yeah. I'll do my best to help.

Come on, wait a minute.

Penheimer hurriedly stretched out his hand.

However, the jewel had already disappeared into Alice's subspace inventory.

While the atrocities that are close to extortion are taking place.

Jinhyuk was searching through the numerous treasures with the eyes of a hawk.

'It's the best thing... .'

Sword, spear, bow, shield, armor, trinkets.

None of them look bad.

Among them, a pair of sharp daggers and a spear tinted with a magenta color were so perfect that they could reach out their hands without knowing it.

'Are these weapons made by Dwarves?'

Jinhyuk activated 'Eyes of Gluttony' and checked two items.

[Dagger made by craftsman 'Makmum']

Attack power: 2100

Durability: 1000/1000

-Details: This is a dagger made by smelting Orichalkon, known as the metal of the gods. It can inflict 100% additional damage to dark attribute monsters. However, the basic attack power is somewhat lower as it is made for decoration for high ranks rather than for combat.

[Spear made by artisan 'Montrihorn']

Attack power: 5500

Durability: 3300/3300

-Detailed Description: A spear made by smelting iron from the Heuk Iron Mine located on the 25th floor of the tower. As a craftsman, it has very good attack power and durability, but due to the trait of black iron, it has the disadvantage of contaminating the user's mind when used for a long period of time.

There were some shortcomings, but this was enough to endure them.

The other items also had more cons than pros.

'I can't be here all day, so I'll have to choose one of the two.'

But that's when I was about to make a choice.

A translucent glass bottle gathered at Jinhyuk's gaze.

The dark red liquid inside the glass bottle was emitting a strange energy.

May this be... .

no doubt

Mr. Penheimer. I have decided.

Jinhyuk put his weapon down and took out a glass bottle from the showcase.

Hmm. Are you really going to pick it up?

It looks the best out of all the ones here.

The choice is up to Jinhyuk-sama, but if possible, I'd like to stop it. I'm not sure, but that's...

I know. Blood of the Red Dragon.

...!

At Jinhyuk's answer, Penheimer flinched.

"Are you saying that you choose even though you know?"

Dragon's blood is usually used as the highest level of magic material.

It flowed through the body of the Dragon, the crystal of mana, so of course it has a tremendous effect.

The problem is that handling that blood requires extreme difficulty.

Even the Empire's chief mage failed to use this blood to strengthen their weapons, which means that virtually no one in the Empire can handle this blood.

But.

In fact, there is only one person in the Empire who can handle this.

A rare craftsman who transcends magic and can handle all things.

Yes. I'll do this.

Jinhyuk nodded without hesitation.

Heh heh. If someone else had been stubborn, I would have said it was foolish... but I'm looking forward to something like that, Jinhyuk.

Penheimer, who had to look at the situation of the nobles, said goodbye here.

After lunchtime, the streets of the capital city were crowded with people.

Thanks to this, there was a gap in the costly expenses. Jinhyeok and Elise were also able to mix in the gap and wander around the streets.

It's a long-awaited trip, but you won't be able to see it to your heart's content only if you hide like this.

Ellis complained with her cheeks inflated.

Since the time she can manifest outside the ring is relatively short, when she comes out, she wants to see and enjoy as much as possible.

sure.

Hearing such words from Jinhyuk's point of view, only sighs came out.

"You do you ever hear the word travel in this situation?"

To the aristocratic faction within the empire... Heavenly Demon Protestantism and even the Demon Association are involved.

Isn't it obvious that players and giant guilds who have chosen a faction will also participate in this war?

According to Gawain, Cheon Yu-seong may have eaten with that damn bastard, and

Namgungcheon, who led the Chinese guild and then turned to Moorim, had to take care of it, so it was a pain in the ass overall.

But.

Hmm. Can't we just wipe it all away?

Alice still tilted her head with an innocent expression.

Anyway, I don't like Jinjo guys like this.

Because I ignorantly push forward without thinking about it.

If you manifest and play chess, the rest of the true ancestors will begin to move, and even the tower's manager will intervene. It will be very convenient. Isn't it?

If you and I and that mosquito-catcher are there, I think it'd be worth a try if we all tried?

Okay. I shouldn't talk.

Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and shook his head.

timely.

The destination began to appear.

[Orun's Forge]

[The best blacksmith in the empire where you can feel the touch of a craftsman for 50 years!]

[We accept alcohol as well.]

[Kindness, service, love. Customer Satisfaction 1.6%]

[No. 1 unfriendly store designated by the Empire]

There were dozens of blacksmiths nearby, but this one was especially serious.

It was just before the signage fell... Among the sentences written on the signboard in the first place, very suspicious things were mixed.

Is this a good place?

It looks like it, but it's true that the owner here is quite talented.

Ummm. It's hard to believe...

Alice murmured suspiciously and went inside.

Druck... Kuk ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

A loud snoring sound greeted me instead of greeting.

A dwarf with a hot, hot face can be seen falling into a sweet sleep in the middle of the forge.

The old man with a small but strong body was the dwarf 'Orun'.

Hello.

Drink!

excuse me?

Drunk!

Um. I brought some good wine. I can't help it because I'm sleeping. Should I go to the blacksmith next door...

Cheer... What? Su, alcohol!? Did you say alcohol?

Orun's eyes lit up.

How can an alcoholic be able to respond to such a small talk?

Well, I'm glad that I'm relieved of having to wake up bothersome.

Kuhm. Yeah. What happened to you?

I want to entrust you with one request.

"A request? That's good. How many hogus no, how many guests are these?

It's not that I don't trust Orun, but may I try a test? Of course, I'll calculate this separately.

Jinhyuk took out jewelry adorned with various jewels on the palm of his hand.

It was the bracelet that Alice was wearing.

Hey! That's mine, right?

Shh!

Huuu... Whoops!

Jinhyuk, who quickly covered Alice's mouth, looked at Orun again.

Are you okay?

It's a test... heh heh. It seems that my trust has dropped a lot.

Behind the deeply subdued voice, there was a deep sense of anger at being questioned about the skill of the craftsman and the feeling of self-help that led to such a situation.

I don't need a price. I used to be called the 'unquenchable anvil' in the dwarven kingdom. I'll show you what Orun is... from now on.

Orun drew out a heavy hammer.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

An indescribable mana resided in a hammer adorned with ancient runes.

And at that very moment.

Ura-cha-cha!

A hammer fell from the sky.

Aww!

[Enhancement failed!]

[Queen Pendragon's bracelet has been destroyed!]

" "

" "

" "

A brief silence followed.

It was a really short silence.

Heh heh. Have you been drinking too much these days? My hands just stopped slipping.

Ahhhhhhh!

Alice screamed as if she had lost the whole world.

"Hey you damn dwarf bastard!"
