Chapter 791

 [Do you want to name the item Stone Sword?]

“ . . . No, wait . ”

Grid, who was flowing with the momentum, suddenly stopped . He realized that the name of Stone Sword is inadequate .  Was it because he heard the sighs of Kraugel and the blacksmiths? No .  The cause of Grid’s current enlightenment was the armour he was wearing .

Khan's posthumous work, Valhalla .  It was the armor Grid had never taken off since Khan died .

‘The name of the item is important . I need to think carefully and decide . ’

Why did Khan call the armor Valhalla? In fact, Grid didn’t find much meaning in it . It was modelled after the Valhalla armor made by Albatino, Khan’s ancestor . Grid just through that the name was copied from that .  But he found out later . One of the other meanings of Valhalla was ‘house of joy . ’

‘Thanks to this, I was able to get a glimpse of Khan’s heart . ’

Khan was hoping that Grid would be a huge house-like entity that could embrace many people and give them joy .

‘Yes, the name is important . ’

Grid’s thinking, which had been biased towards the design and function of the item, started to activate .  Grid recalled Lauel’s advice to ‘always think . ’ If Khan’s name was simply Iron Armor, Grid wouldn't have felt the same way he did now .  He recognized the weight of the name .

‘In the first place . . . ’

This was a work he made with his friend . It was insincere to his friend to give it a name like this .

“I’ll correct it . ”

Stone Sword .  Grid’s imposing voice resonated with the blacksmiths who were silent with shock from the name .

"Muksabal . ” (TL: Generally acorn jelly in a chilled broth . But it can also be slang for badly damaging or disfiguring a face i . e . beating to a pulp) .

“ . . . ?”

"The sword’s name will be Muksabal . ”

From a general point of view, the power of the earth was close to the symbol of ‘guardian . ’ However, Hero King Grid and Sword Saint Kraugel were monsters of a level that could wield the ground . The ‘land’ they wielded would overwhelm the enemy with its weight .

"That’s why it is Muksabal . ”

" . . . Is it really possible to pull up the ground?”

“ . . . ”

Panmir forgot the concept of an analogy and asked .  Due to this, the solemn (?) atmosphere became awkward, but Grid didn’t mind .

"Kraugel, I don’t doubt that our knowledge, skills, and experience will greatly damage our enemies . Muksabal . . . It’s a name I carefully thought of . I wish you can hear it in your heart . ”

“ . . . Yes . I won’t speak long words . ”

There were too many parts to tackle .  But Grid looked so serious that Kraugel couldn’t refute it .

Just .

‘I should introduce it with a different name . ’

He could only think of it like this .

A weapon design from Blacksmith Grid, who has gone beyond a legend and is becoming a myth, and Sword Saint Kraugel .

It is in the form of a sword, with a knuckle bow at the handle . The purpose is to protect the hands . The knuckle bow is designed as a miniature crown and looks great .  The top part of the handle extends from side to side, giving the illusion that there are two handles . The special sword will allow for anomalous attacks and will also defend against enemy attacks .

The material of the sword is the 10,000 year stone or bloodstone and will vary significantly depending on the material .

The weight is so heavy that people with low strength can’t swing it . However, it’s a very ideal sword with no flaws in its balance .

Weight: 6,800~13,900

Conditions of Use: Unforeseen

‘If I make it with the 10,000 year stone, the minimum stats will be applied . When made with bloodstone, the maximum stats will apply . On the other hand, the weight will be overwhelming high when I use the 10,000 year stone . ’

Grid’s face blossomed like a flower as he confirmed the finished design .  He didn’t know exactly what the options were yet, but it was a very good weapon when just looking at the attributes .  Wasn’t an epic rated one-handed sword guaranteed at least 390 attack power and 100 defense? It was hard to find a comparable performance among the level 300 items .

‘In addition, the level limit of Muksabal is likely to be very low . ’

The ideal sword that Kraugel thought about was a ‘wearable sword’ and Grid also focused on Kraugel’s ideals . In other words, it had high versatility and practicality .  There was a high weight due to the characteristics of the materials, but those who had the minimum strength would be able to handle Muksabal easily .

‘The high cost of the 10,000 year stone will mean it will take a long time before I can distribute it to the soldiers . . . Let’s distribute it to the knights first . ’

It was a powerful weapon that couldn’t be compared to the mass-produced Grid weapons . The unique rated Muksabal was superior to the attack power of many legendary weapons . It was clear that the strength of the Overgeared Knights would grow by leaps and bounds .

Grid was delighted and now the most important task remained .  It was to produce it .

“Kraugel, give me the White Tiger’s Breath . ”

“Yes . ”

A material that couldn’t be obtained unless a hidden quest on the East Continent was cleared or a gold medal was won in the National Competition .  Kraugel handled the white bead that was worth an astronomical amount to Grid without hesitation .  In front of the blast furnace where the white phosphorus wood was still burning, Grid was reminded of the time he made the Red Phoenix Bow and the Enlightenment Sword .

‘The basic premise for making a myth rated weapon is strengthening the core materials .

With the Red Phoenix Bow, he strengthened the Red Phoenix Breath and with the Enlightenment Sword, he strengthened Belial’s Horn .  Looking back now, it was very hard work .  It would take at least three days, the long task of hammering on one item for a week and even delicate techniques . It was physically and mentally hard .

The biggest problem was the ‘resistance’ of the item .  The Red Phoenix’s Breath emitted hot fire every time it was hit with a hammer while Belial’s Horn exploded .  If Grid didn’t have the combination of high defense and stamina, it would be impossible to strengthen both the Red Phoenix Breath and Belial’s Horn . He would’ve been dead after hammering a few times!

‘The White Tiger’s Breath will also resist . ’

It could take more than a week for smelting, assuming it had a temper .

‘It won’t be easy . ’

He was afraid when thinking about the pain he would have to endure .  Grid needed to control his mind .  After taking several deep breaths, Grid’s expression relaxed .  Kraugel and Panmir had no choice but to misunderstand .  They thought that Grid was nervous about a high-rated item not appearing . They never imagined that he was afraid of the act of making an item itself .

It was natural .  So far, all the blacksmithing work they had seen, heard, and experienced was ordinary .  Yes, most blacksmiths produced items by pressing a single ‘production’ button . Even Panmir, who was proud of making items by hand, relied on all types of systems . They couldn’t predict how much effort and time Grid placed into making items .

"Okay . Let’s start the production . ”

He acted fast once the preparations were over .  Grid put the White Tiger’s Breath into the furnace . The temperature in the furnace rapidly increased and the white bead heated up .

[The temperature is too high!]

“Kuk . . . !”

Panmir watched Grid and sighed .  Grid aggressively utilized the characteristics of the white phosphorus wood and continued to raise the temperature of the furnace . Panmir was burned despite watching from a few meters away .  Panmir clutched his burning forearm and belatedly realized . Apart from himself, the other blacksmiths were already far away from Grid’s furnace . It was the same even for White, the greatest of the four blacksmiths .

‘Even the craftsmen can’t endure the temperature?’

It was amazing that Grid instantly generated such a high temperature! As Panmir was feeling surprise beyond admiration .

Puoook!

Chik! Chiiiik!

Grid removed the red bead and started quenching it . The bucket that was filled with at least 100 liters of water started boiling like lava .  Kraugel, who had been watching from Grid’s side, avoided the water drops using Super Sensitivity . It was an almost instinctive motion .

“Ohh! Truly a Sword Saint . . . !”

The blacksmiths marvelled at Kraugel’s brilliant movements while Kraugel wondered .

‘Was making an item originally so urgent and dangerous?’

Teong!

Grid put the bead on his anvil .  He still looked grim . He was like a warrior on the battlefield .  Kraugel couldn’t help gulping at the momentum .

Ttaaang!

Grid finally started hammering . The moment that his hammer hit the White Tiger’s Breath .

Kwarururung!

The White Tiger’s Breath roared . Heavy shaking! Sharp thorns made of stones emerged like a hedgehog .

“Kuk . . . !”

Grid’s cheeks, neck, and wrists were wounded .  He couldn’t completely evade the thorns that came from the White Tiger’s Breath .

“Grid . . . !”

“Your Majesty!”

The confused Kraugel and blacksmiths shouted .  But they weren’t in a position to go forward .  This was a battlefield only for Grid .  There was no one who could help Grid without his permission .  Grid wiped the blood flowing down his cheeks and laughed .

"This bastard, you are high-grade . ”

Its nature was fiercer than the Red Phoenix’s Breath and Belial’s Horn .  Why was this white tiger so dirty?’

‘It’s impossible to fight this guy twice in a row . ’

Grid judged for a moment, temporarily stopped the hammering and pulled out his White Tiger’s Breath .  Then he threw it straight into the furnace .

‘It is better to fight just once . ’

That’s right .  Grid intended to simultaneously strengthen the two White Tiger’s Breaths .  The biggest problem was time . Grid had to go to the empire in two weeks . That was when the walls would collapse . He needed to finish producing the items then .

"Kraugel, I need your help to smelt both of them at once . ”

"Say it . ”

"Give me potions . ”

“ . . . ?”

After a moment .

Ttaaang!

Grid placed the two White Tiger’s Breaths next to each other and resumed hammering .

The White Tiger’s Breaths let out a large number of thorns every time they were hit by a hammer . Grid was wounded, yet he kept wielding his hammer . When his wounds accumulated, Kraugel fed him potions to restore his health . Avoiding the thorns that stretched out everywhere!

Ttang! Ttang!

“Kraugel! Potion!”

"Drink . It’s on the left . Avoid it . ”

"Keuk! I failed to avoid it again!”

"It’s difficult to avoid attacks that have already started to fly . Watch the actions of the enemy and try to predict the direction of attack . ”

“Yes, I understand!”

Ttang! Ttang! Ttaang~!

“ . . . ”

Grid was fiercely concentrating during the hammering while Kraugel ran around and helped him .  Panmir watched the amazing scene of the best players fighting together and felt something strange .  

'Is this really making an item?’

It was steadily completed .  The two divine swords!
