Genius Blacksmith's Game

Among the five basic stats, there is Intellect.

Just as raising Strength by 1 increases physical power, raising Intellect by 1 increases magic attack power.

A dragon, the strongest existence on land!

High-ranker-class mages had said it.

That an adult dragon would probably have an Intellect stat about four times higher than theirs.

And KyooKyoo possessed Intellect more than twice as high as those high-ranker mages.

-You strike Atlas from the rear. Asura, Hyun, and Luxiu will be fighting Vera, who is wearing Gremory’s Earring.

-If you raid the rear and reduce the center to ruins, Asura and Hyun will collapse quickly.

-Do not kill Hyun. I will kill him myself.

Lady Gremory’s plan had been perfect.

Who was she? A being called the demon of legion commanders.

What was more, due to the effect of Gremory’s Earring, those striking the front gate only received a 10% penalty for descending to the surface.

Truthfully, even they alone had been more than enough to collapse Atlas.

And yet at some point, their presences had vanished completely.

And what about themselves?

They were the elite force that, through Gremory’s Original Sin, had received no penalty at all.

One thousand of the finest priests had come with them.

And yet they, despite receiving no penalty, had not been able to use their strength to its fullest.

The four creatures before them had collapsed everything.

The strongest traits of the legion commanders had struck their own allies, and by those many bizarre powers, 200 priests had been erased.

And now—

BOOM—!

Beond, hit first by one of the 200 1st Class Magic spells, doubted his ears.

Their defense and health were extremely high.

Also, if they had been hit by 1st Class Magic from a human mage, even one at high-ranker level, this would have been about the amount of damage.

[You have taken 8,313 damage.]

That was because of their high magic defense and their levels.

But now—

[You have taken 31,031 damage.]

That was the impact a single Fireball had inflicted on him.

It was the result of KyooKyoo’s absurd Intellect, inherited from dragon blood.

And Fireball was originally a single-target attack spell.

But—

BOOOOOM—!

“KRAAAGH!”

“Urk!”

Its explosive force spread to the surrounding area, and there was an even more shocking power at work.

[Ignores 50% of magic defense.]

Such a thing as magic defense, which protected mere humans.

Before KyooKyoo, who carried the blood of a dragon, the progenitor of magic, it was trivial.

Just like that.

The 200 spells stored in the dragon fell all at once and devastated the area.

[You have taken 34,513 damage.]

[You have taken 21,319 damage.]

[You have taken 18,313 damage.]

[A critical hit lands!]

[A critical hit lands!]

[A critical hit lands!]

Beond was the core that had led them here.

“Urgh.......”

It was true that he too had suffered no small amount of damage.

But his inherently huge health pool had protected him.

He hurriedly turned his head.

“Is everyone safe—”

But when he turned, he panicked.

Three legion commanders with lower total HP were turning to ash.

And where 800 priests had originally been.

Not a single one remained. Every one of them had turned into a handful of ash.

“.......”

They were those who had worshiped the Calamity Church for a long time.

Though, as mage types, their health pools might be low, each and every one of them possessed strength on the level of an ordinary knight.

So why had they died without even being able to properly use their power?

No, they had used their power. Clearly.

The same went for themselves.

And yet the blazing fire bird had created rings of fire and blown all of that power away.

Suddenly, as he looked at the four beings in front of him, Beond was seized by an indescribable pressure.

What happens if these things become complete......?

Among them, the only complete being was Pretty.

The Myriad Mile Bird was not in a complete state either, and the being called KyooKyoo could still grow endlessly stronger.

And as for the puppy in front of him, based on the form it had projected before, he could guess what kind of being it was.

If they grew?

“.......”

He realized it.

On that day, it would not be they who invaded.

It would be those creatures.

However—

“I’ll cut them off at the root!”

The black cat seemed to have used most of its MP and could no longer vanish through Invisibility.

The same was true of the Myriad Mile Bird.

It could no longer keep appearing and disappearing.

The baby dragon?

There were four surviving legion commanders now.

No matter how powerful the magic was, at the end of the day it was still only 1st Class Magic.

They could no longer evade attacks through the Myriad Mile Bird.

They could no longer be brainwashed by the cat.

And they would no longer take massive damage from KyooKyoo.

RUMMMMMBLE—!

The four enraged legion commanders all caused their power to rampage at once.

In Beond’s case, it was the omen of using Storm of Wind.

Storm of Wind created a tempest within a set radius, and the winds dwelling inside it became blades that shredded enemies to pieces.

At the omen of those powers, the four pets were crushed beneath massive pressure.

“Maaang.......”

Lucky Lump did not, by instinct, fight battles it would lose.

Now, the situation had changed.

The power of the four legion commanders was stronger than expected, and no matter how strong KyooKyoo’s 1st Class Magic was, it could not sweep away every legion commander.

Lucky Lump felt sorry toward those here.

Because now they might have to face the greatest darkness of all—death.

But KyooKyoo pressed its body tightly against Lucky Lump, as if to say it was all right.

“Meooow.......”

Pretty.

The time it had spent with them, even if only briefly, had become so precious that it was no longer afraid of death.

Right at that moment—

FWAAAAAAAAAAH—!

Lucky Lump recalled something Hyunsoo had said before.

It was something Hyunsoo had said while looking at the Myriad Mile Bird.

“Wow, depending on the situation, this could be absolutely insane.”

He had been speaking in comparison to one of the Myriad Mile Bird’s unusual skills.

Now, the Myriad Mile Bird began to release the hottest flames it had ever shown.

FWAAAAH—

Dozens of blazing feathers fell toward the legion commanders.

“???”

“What is this?”

“What trick are you trying to pull now?!”

The name of this skill.

[Deliver-You-There]

And the effect of this power was as follows.

(Deliver-You-There)

Passive Skill

Grade: Legendary

Level: 5

Effect:

·Activates with a 2.1% chance when the owner is in danger, or when you are in danger.

·Sends the opponent to any place you have been.

·Sometimes, it may send them to where your allies are and create an awkward situation.

·Maybe right in front of the god Ares(?)

·Maybe to hell(?)

·Maybe to a prison of ten thousand years(?)

·It may fail if the opponent’s level is far too high compared to yours.

And Beond and the legion commanders had no choice but to feel the illusion that their bodies were suddenly burning.

And just as the skill’s effect stated.

It delivered enemies anywhere.

When Beond and the legion commanders opened their eyes, they could only panic.

At the same time that they were astonished by the power the Myriad Mile Bird had unleashed, they could not help but think it was a truly cruel bird.

It was not just somewhat cruel.

It was a being that outright crushed its enemies mercilessly and mocked them.

“If not, there’s no way it would have dumped us in a place like this.”

“How can this.......”

“A cruel bird...... truly, a cruel bird!”

[Deliver-You-There]

[It delivers you to the heavenly realm.]

“.......”

“.......”

That was right.

The place where they opened their eyes.

Was the heavenly realm.

To send demonkind into the heavenly realm?

And what was more, they had not merely appeared somewhere in the heavenly realm.

Just as great archdemons ruled and reigned over the demon realm, there were those who ruled and reigned over the heavenly realm.

And among them, there was one who handled martial force, a being even the great archdemons feared to fight.

It was none other than the archangel Gabriel.

“.......”

“.......”

“.......”

“.......”

The four who appeared before the archangel Gabriel had no choice but to shudder at the cruelty of the one called the Myriad Mile Bird.

Of course.

Since it was a passive skill, that was not actually where Kkoko had wanted to send them.

*****

The 3rd Legion Commander felt fear as he looked at the four beings.

Because he did not doubt that if these four beings grew, they would become a tremendous counterforce to the great archdemons.

And that was the truth.

Just as the legendary tamer Atro had told Kabel.

And just as the 3rd Legion Commander Beond had felt.

The legend of four, or more precisely, the legend of three, would recover their true forms or grow stronger the more they grew.

And this proved that they would become Atlas’s military strength.

Lucky Lump.

It was the eldest, and the one meant to “cut off the right arm,” but it knew.

Today, we will grow.

And beyond that, we will draw closer to becoming true legends.

[KyooKyoo levels up.]

[It takes one step closer to becoming a true dragon.]

[The Myriad Mile Bird levels up.]

[The chance of losing its memories decreases.]

[Pretty levels up.]

[Active Skill. Reconnaissance is unlocked.]

[Atlas’s military strength rises by 1%.]

Second, KyooKyoo’s body grew a little.

And a few scales appeared on KyooKyoo’s body, which had once been nothing but bones.

Lucky Lump could tell.

KyooKyoo, which had changed from evil into good, was drawing closer to the form of a dragon.

Also, the flames rising from the Myriad Mile Bird’s body grew hotter, and now the chance of it losing its memories had gone down.

Especially the youngest one they had newly brought in.

Pretty had unlocked a power called Reconnaissance.

Lucky Lump did not know it, but this was one of the traits of Pretty that Sword Emperor Bolond had coveted.

It was a special power that allowed it to scout enemy lines while invisible and with “all presence completely hidden.”

And Lucky Lump was hearing it.

[You take one step closer to your true form.]

“......Maaang.”

Its own form, which even Lucky Lump itself did not yet know, even as snot dripped from its nose.

[Master Hyunsoo will find out your true identity.]

And Lucky Lump turned its attention to its younger siblings.

The second-born, and the one in charge of discipline, KyooKyoo, gave the order.

“Kyoo!”

Pick everything up quickly!

[You obtain a Legendary-grade Legion Commander’s Ring.]

[You obtain a Legendary-grade Magic Detection Tome.]

[You obtain 13,311 gold.]

[You obtain 11,372 gold.]

[You obtain Elixir (2).]

Just as KyooKyoo said, all the spoils were collected.

And once they had gathered armfuls of loot, they looked each other in the eyes.

“Maaang.......”

“Kyoo.......”

“Kko!”

They had now reached the end of the plan they had imagined.

Their hearts trembled.

Because this really would bring about an incredible result!

“Mang!”

If we give it to Dad, he’ll give us snacks!

They were planning to give it to Hyunsoo and trade it for snacks.

KyooKyoo danced, and Pretty’s eyes sparkled at the thought of eating “delicious canned food.”

Lucky Lump, too, was happy at the thought of artisan handmade dog chews, and the Myriad Mile Bird was delighted at the thought of eating caterpillars.

That was right. They had accomplished something amazing, yet all they wanted was no more than snacks.

Meanwhile.

“Amazing.”

Lee Sejin marveled.

Even when Lucky Lump had obtained Pretty, the chance that Atlas would not collapse had still been under 3%.

But when Kabel instantly killed Vera, Gremory’s Earring had been nullified, and that figure had risen to 15%.

And then Lucky Lump handed the necklace to KyooKyoo, and KyooKyoo awakened, pushing it up to 20%.

Also, under normal circumstances, they should never have been able to defeat the legion commanders.

But through the dramatic activation of Deliver-You-There, that probability had risen to 30%.

That was right. It was still only 30%.

And Sejin was continuing to monitor the situation.

He still knew that the chance Atlas would not collapse was only 30%.

[Gremory’s Mercy settles upon the Calamity Church.]

As resurrection drew near, Gremory’s power had become able to settle upon the Calamity Church.

The fall of the Ares Church was beginning at a rapid pace.

And Sejin was also watching certain figures.

......Even Hyun’s Forge won’t avoid annihilation. The deaths of Luxiu or Bon would be fatal to Atlas as well.

At the same time, Sejin thought,

By the time player Hyunsoo forges the Four Tiger Sword, everything may already be over.

A regrettable thing.

But it was not Hyunsoo’s fault.

His plan had been to forge the Four Tiger Sword and lead the war to victory.

And like Kabel and Lucky Lump, Hyunsoo had not been able to prepare against that because he could not foresee so many things.

However—

“......What?”

Sejin was flustered.

Right now, the management targets of the Special User Management Team were entering the battlefield.

And who were the management targets of the Special User Management Team?

They referred to the very top high rankers of high level, like player Hyunsoo.

But even calling them the top high rankers was not enough.

They were the top users of each country.

Meanwhile.

Those who had received Hyun’s command came to the promised place.

All of them were wearing robes, and began removing them one by one.

First, Hyunsoo’s younger sibling.

World Mage Rank #1 Rund.

“......Good to see everyone.”

Next, Hyunsoo’s son, Kali.

“Ah, Rund, so you were Hyunsoo’s younger sibling?”

“......And you, Kali, are the son?”

“.......”

Lastly.

Mio, Vietnam’s idol and ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the Divine Archer.

And also Hyunsoo’s granddaughter.

Everyone here had come to this place after hearing Hyunsoo’s words.

[Hyunsoo: Go to the battlefield and protect the people of Hyun’s Forge. If you do this one time, I’ll remove you from the family registry.]

A brief silence passed, and Kali spoke.

“So Rund is Hyunsoo’s younger sibling, I’m the son, and you, Mio, are the granddaughter?”

Mio said,

“Then are you two my great-uncle and uncle? Great-uncle, Uncle. Hello?”

“.......”

“.......”

“......What a complete family mess.”

Hyunsoo’s younger sibling, his son, and his granddaughter had entered the battlefield.
