Chapter 272: Game of Divine Thrones 7

In the G.o.d of Blacksmithing ruins, the basic drop items were the same as the Wind G.o.d’s epic dungeon.

The epic dungeon used the same crystal orb, required to unlock the final barrier, and a key to open the treasure chest. There was also a map of the area.

Woohyuk’s party obtained all of them by defeating the three boss monsters. Once they were done, they finally reached the G.o.d of Blacksmithing shrine.

Inside, an angel with red hair awaited them. Again, the angel was overseeing an entrapped G.o.d. This time, it was the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.

“You worked hard to get here. I am Archangel Michael.”

“...Okay, get out of our way,” Woohyuk firmly stated.

He didn’t want to talk with another archangel who wouldn’t hand over a Divine Throne seat.

What he needed was the Elixir of the G.o.ds.

Therefore, he needed to quickly defeat the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.

“You came as expected. So, you’re the reincarnation of Archangel Raphael,” the G.o.d of Blacksmithing stated.

“I heard the rough overall story from the Wind G.o.d,” Woohyuk replied flatly.

Woohyuk revealed the facts in advance so that the G.o.d of Blacksmithing wouldn’t repeat the same words again.

“Then, the conversation will be simpler. I’ll give you one piece of information.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s about Epion, the G.o.d Killer weapon.”

Epion, the G.o.d Killer weapon.

The weapon was categorized as one part of the forbidden knowledge. It was said to be powerful enough to kill any of the G.o.ds.

Woohyuk nodded as the G.o.d of Blacksmithing described the necessary materials needed to make the weapon.

“Right. Good. I already have all the necessary materials.”

“You will have to find a skilled blacksmith because it requires a high level of blacksmithing skill and runework.”

“I already have such a person. He’s my va.s.sal.”

Woohyuk was referring to Runesmith Dexter.

Although Dexter wouldn’t be able to take the Divine Throne seat because of these absurd epic dungeon rules, he had the ability to make equipment close to the level of the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.

“Good. Hmm, seeing that you’re wearing that armor, it looks like you already defeated my son, Atreus.”

“Yes, at the Einherjar ruins. We competed against each other to gauge if I was worthy to become a demiG.o.d. I guarantee that it was an honorable duel for Atreus.”

Woohyuk told the G.o.d of Blacksmithing the story of fighting with his son for many days without stopping.

“… That sounds like my son. He died too quickly because of his stubbornness.”

“I made a promise to him. To overturn this absurd and corrupt world.”

“Oho. Have you inherited Atreus’ will as well? Very good. Then I admit that you are worthy of wearing my gear.”

The G.o.d of Blacksmithing looked quite favorably upon Woohyuk.

Woohyuk thought that he should get as much as possible from him while he was still in his good graces.

“I have one request.”

“What is it?”

“I haven’t acquired one of the mythical heir’s abilities yet.”

The Mythical Heir cla.s.s received a quest related to a legendary artifact and was able to acquire one ability related to the artifact.

There was a total of four abilities that Woohyuk had secured so far.

The Power of Resuscitation obtained from Hevnia’s Ruins.

The Calm Heart obtained by defeating the demiG.o.d Atreus.

Mirroring, obtained by killing Cadiz, the Death Alchemist.

Battle Foresight obtained through Bhilante’s Dagger.

All four were cheat-like abilities, but Woohyuk wanted to fill the remaining ability spot with something even better, something transcendent.

“It looks like you’re having a lot of trouble deciding on what your final ability should be. As a recommendation, of all the artifacts you have, the Immortal Armor is the best. Do with that information what you will.”

In the end, the G.o.d of Blacksmithing suggested the artifact that he himself made.

Woohyuk nodded his head and received a quest related to the Immortal Armor.

[New Challenge]

Name: Tempering Soul

Type: Legend

Content: Defeat the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.

Other: Failure to complete the quest ends the challenge. Retry is impossible.

It was really simple and clear.

Woohyuk immediately pulled out Verserios and pointed it at the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.

“Then, let’s start.”

“Come, he who will quench this world anew.”

The chain of light that was binding the G.o.d of Blacksmithing was removed.

Woohyuk gave Roan and Lisa an order.

“Roan, create a black hole using G.o.d Death and disturb him. Lisa, support Roan from the back.”

“Okay, Master. It’s my specialty to disturb others,” Roan answered proudly.

“I’m not a low-quality Homunculus like Roan, so I’ll act cool and calculatedly.”

Roan and Lisa had polar opposite personalities and inclinations.

While the two Homunculus were in charge of distracting the G.o.d of Blacksmithing, Woohyuk gave instructions to the others.

“Song Anna, you play the flute. Helena, prepare the defensive guardian barrier for the party. The rest of you, attack from your respective positions.”

The melee combat cla.s.s members moved forward, while the wizard and archer cla.s.ses settled in the back.

“I think it’s time to show my true skills!” Reina exclaimed in glee.

Elven archer Reina pulled her bowstring with an excited, child-like expression.

Then, as she created a magic arrow, its size gradually began to increase.

“Is that your ultimate?”

“Yeah. I bet you this arrow strike will do more damage than what Yoo Kayoung or Allen can muster.”

Her ultimate skill was to hunker down like a siege tank and fire powerful magic arrows.

It was a skill that Reina was immensely proud of.

“If it’s magic, I have a skill or two up my sleeve as well!” Yoo Kayoung chirped in. She seemed to be seething as she chanted a spell and lifted her staff.

Once she was done chanting her spell, burning meteorites fell down from the air towards the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The meteorites were a bit small since she had to cast them inside the temple, but the damage output was still quite high.

Allen, not to be outdone, chanted his own spell, a wide area magic spell.

Bubble! Bubble!

The ground on which the G.o.d of Blacksmithing was standing turned into a volcanic region. Magma rose and spewed out from the ground like a fountain.

“Then, I’ll start shooting!”

As the two wizards were actively reigning down magic spells from the sky and earth, Reina repeatedly pulled her bow and let loose a furry of huge magic arrows.

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kw.a.n.g!

The power of her magic arrows was enough to shake the inner s.p.a.ce of the temple.

As the party continued to attack, the G.o.d of Blacksmithing made an amused expression.

“I’ve spent many years quenching and hammering. Thanks to that, my natural defense is pretty high.”

In a word, he was a pure tank.

The party looked up at the G.o.d of Blacksmithing with stupefied expressions.

“What, no matter how much we attack, we can’t even muster a scratch?”

“Then, should we start our melee attack?”

Leifina and Irene ran toward the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.

Ting! Ting!

Argent, the Oath of Loyalty sword, and Irene’s black scythe bounced off the G.o.d of Blacksmithing’s body.

Even their melee weapons couldn’t penetrate his body’s high defense.

When Black Knight Bailey also failed, Woohyuk stepped forward.

“I guess we’ll have to use some specialized tools.”

In the past, when the Bronze Rock Golem was defeated, its power source was extracted with a bronze spike and a hammer.

Woohyuk changed Verserios into a hammer shape and pulled out a nail made of Adamante.

Ting! Ting!

As he wielded the pitch-black hammer, the spike began to get stuck in the G.o.d’s forearm.

“I have no intention of being tempered!”

The G.o.d raised his weapon, a golden hammer.

As he swung his arm, Woohyuk, with agile movements, climbed over the G.o.d’s right shoulder.

“The bigger you are, the more blind spots you have.”

Woohyuk had led numerous elite monster raids for a long time, both in his past and present life, so he was an expert in climbing and maneuvering in tight s.p.a.ces.

While Woohyuk moved around, he started nailing into the G.o.d’s body. It was like he was rock climbing. The G.o.d of Blacksmithing, unable to effectively attack or counter Woohyuk, gave out a sigh and opened a gap in s.p.a.ce.

“It seems that the golden hammer alone is not enough, so I’ll start attacking you with the various weapons I’ve made so far.”

Various weapons popped out from s.p.a.ce and began to strike Woohyuk and his party members.

Reina shouted as she was instantly put in a bad position from an unexpected attack.

“They’re blocking me from firing! The weapons are acting like s.h.i.+elds!” Reina shouted.

“It’s definitely the G.o.d of Blacksmithing’s products. They seem to be able to absorb magic,” Allen concluded.

“Come on Allen! Do something! Aren’t you the successor of Arcane the Archmage!” Reina continued yelling.

“Well, all of those devices are made of metal, so I don’t know what’ll happen if I use a magic spell that attracts metal like a magnet…” Allen uttered as he murmured a spell and created a huge magnetic field in the air.

Afterward, the G.o.d of Blacksmithing’s various weapons began to gather together and stick to the magnetic field.

Woohyuk, who saw this, put another Adamante nail into the G.o.d’s body and spoke out, “It’s not enough to be naturally strong defensively. You also need an appropriate means of attack.”

“Oh. Well, I never said that I didn’t have a means of attack…”

He started chanting a spell. His calm, joking att.i.tude seemed to mean that he was just toying with them up to now.

Suddenly, a magic circle was drawn in the air, and a black-haired, blue-eyed Homunculus appeared.

“Ho, Homunculus?!”

“Why is there a third homunculus here?”

Roan and Lisa couldn’t hide their shock.

In the past, the Homunculus were abandoned by the G.o.ds because they were considered dangerous.

“This guy was recently placed here according to the arrangement of the Creator. Damien is his name. Unlike Roan and Lisa, this guy’s an attack-based wizard homunculus.”

“Completing recognition of the interfering forces. Ready to attack,” Damian mechanically said aloud as he chanted a spell. His blunt voice was like that coming from a computer.

Shortly thereafter, countless phantom swords began to rush through the air.

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kw.a.n.g!

“Ugh, do something, you! How long are you going to peg that guy with nails? Shouldn’t you be doing something about this situation?”

“Please wait, Helena. Just make sure the defensive barrier is properly constructed.”

He couldn’t really think of any other effective attack against the G.o.d of Blacksmithing other than the nails he was hammering into the G.o.d’s body.

Yoo Kayoung shouted urgently while Woohyuk was lost in thought.

“Drill! Do you have any power drills among your tools?”

“… Power drill?”

When he thought about it, he realized that it would be much easier to use a power drill than to continue using his hammer and nails.

The question was whether Verserios could be transformed into such a sophisticated tool.

Woohyuk used the power of the Seven Color Rainbow Ring to change the shape of Verserios to the extreme.

Hwing!

The result was a great success.

Using magic as the power source, Verserios began to pierce the G.o.d’s body at a much faster rate.

“Keuk…!”

Only then did the G.o.d of Blacksmithing groan and try to remove Woohyuk in earnest.

However, whenever he was about to receive damage, Woohyuk reversed the damage using his Mirroring ability.

Pa-Ji-Jik!

Damien, who suffered too much damage in the aftermath of Mirroring, had turned burnt black. It was as if he had been electrocuted by a high voltage current.

Afterward, the shower of phantom swords stopped, and the group began to bombard the G.o.d of Blacksmithing once again with their attacks.

Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam!

Colorful explosions took place everywhere.

However, it was Woohyuk who frustrated the G.o.d the most.

Due to Woohyuk’s magic-powered drill, the G.o.d of Blacksmithing would soon suffer a fatal wound to his heart.

‘This should be enough.’

Woohyuk, who had made enough holes, took out a container containing Wildfire from his pocket.

After a while, the G.o.d of Blacksmithing’s body shook violently.

“Argh…!”

“It’s your end, G.o.d of Blacksmithing.”

Woohyuk transformed Verserios into a long spear.

Afterward, he condensed all of his mana onto the tip of his spear.

‘I have to hit the hole on his chest so that I can penetrate into his heart.’

The G.o.d’s durability had already been reduced sufficiently. The G.o.d’s body was already at the point of crumbling at any moment.

Woohyuk brightened his eyes and stabbed Verserios towards his target.

Kwa-Ji-Jik!

Before long, with the sound of cracking, Verserios protruded through the back of the G.o.d of Blacksmithing.
