Episode 028

Two huge swords protruding from the Infinite Pouch were stuck in Hephaestus’ body, which was dragged by the dragon grab.

“Wow… .”

There was a deep wound on God’s seemingly invulnerable body.

“This son of a bitch… .”

The guy’s face was filled with anger.

“I shouldn’t have let my guard down.”

I wiped the blood flowing from the corner of my mouth and glared at him.

The face of the Giant Mountain God, who was growling as if he was going to kill me at any moment, distorted.

A dragon grab, and a strike using Kibisis.

It was a hidden move to strike Hephaestus, who was caught off guard.

The blacksmith god, bleeding from his chest, ground his teeth.

‘But this is because he is a god.’

It was a blow so strong that an ordinary hero would have already been pierced to death.

However, the blow did not reach Hephaestus’ heart.

The black line was so deep that I didn’t even think about pulling it out.

Unfortunately, it didn’t pierce the heart, but it was clear that if those two swords were pulled out, a lot of blood would spill.

That’s all.

‘I was lucky.’

This guy is a giant over 3 meters tall.

Thanks to the Nordic heroes, who deal 50% additional damage to giant-type enemies, I was able to inflict a critical hit.

[Encyclopedia Set: Heroes of Northern Europe – Grade A]

[Effect: When dealing with large monsters, damage increases by 50%]

Plus the overwhelming performance of Balmung and the Giant’s Sword.

Magnificent size and specs to match.

Both swords were weapons that I could not yet wield with my own strength.

‘There is a way to use it without swinging it.’

That was Kibisis.

Subspace pocket.

A mythical object with not only space expansion magic but also lightweight magic.

When this item came into my hands, the use of the Giant’s Sword and Balmung was decided.

Kibisis can contain a lot of materials, but if you put a weapon in it, it can also be used as an armament container that can be used at any time.

These weapons were too large to be called memorized, but they could be used by memorization as long as they were in this pocket.

For this, all other materials were sold to Choi Ji-man before the battle with Hephaestus.

“Wow!”

Hephaestus spat blood from his mouth.

In this world, even gods bleed.

It is neither invincible nor immortal.

Like now.

“I will kill you. “I will kill you!”

Kwaaaaang!

Heat boiled up on the roof of the Pantheon, which sympathized with the guy’s feelings.

The roof spewed out black smoke like a volcano.

However, even if the volcano were to boil like that, other guild members would not react.

His personality makes even his subordinates fearful.

That was Hephaestus’ weakness.

It has two weaknesses.

An imperfect body could not be called a weakness.

The fact that he was born with a limp and his left arm was broken by Ares was more of a penalty than a weakness.

Although he had a massive body, his physical condition was so poor that he could not utilize it.

‘If my arm had been fine, I wouldn’t have been treated in vain like this.’

That penalty gave me an opening to land a blow on him, but it wasn’t a weak spot.

His first real weakness was his inability to trust even his own subordinates.

Not only does he put pressure on his subordinates with an overbearing attitude, but he also gets angry when they make even the slightest mistake.

Of course, he scolded me not to touch him while I was working. Because of Hephaestus’s nature to use violence without mercy if he disobeyed his orders, his subordinates did not dare to invade his space without his permission.

Since one must never make a mistake, everyone looked at the blacksmith god’s notice.

okay.

‘If I had killed that personality a little more, my subordinates might have come to help me by now.’

no.

I wouldn’t have even created a situation where I would get stabbed by that sword in the first place.

“All I can do is stand.”

“Ugh… .”

He expressed his anger to his heart’s content, but it seemed like he was already at his limit.

It was Hephaestus who had already used a lot of stamina in the fight with Ares.

I suffered a fatal wound in a situation where I could not heal the wound or recover my physical strength.

“Do not look down on God. With just this much hurt… “It doesn’t fall down.”

He saw two swords piercing his body.

Balmung and the Giant’s Sword.

“Did you set your teeth on me with the worthless weapons of the Viking heroes?”

“You don’t like my gift?”

“I like it very much. “But I used the weapon incorrectly.”

The guy pulled out two swords that pierced his body.

Clang!

“If you’re going to use Balmung, you should have used it when I transformed into a dragon.”

Hephaestus, bleeding profusely from his chest, gritted his teeth and glared at me.

The guy glared at me with a wicked smile.

“Stupid guy.”

Hephaestus’ body, glaring at me, grew bigger and bigger.

The size of the already huge creature began to grow even larger.

Scales began to weave together tightly on the skin.

The body of the giant human was changing into something other than human.

Like a huge lizard… No, as if it were a dragon.

Hephaestus is the god of blacksmiths, lava, and volcanoes.

As if to prove Hephaestus’ intense heat, red scales covered his skin.

I quietly watched the moment when the body of the creature, which was similar to a human except for its enormous size, transformed into a much larger dragon.

-You seem surprised. okay. It’s something that lowly humans can’t even think about.

Did he think I was frozen in fear?

-It’s the power I gained when I came to this land. The power I gained by devouring the power of the various traditions that had my own story.

“I’m not curious about that.”

-what?

“I don’t wonder why you became a dragon.”

I knew very well that Hephaestus could turn into a dragon.

This was why he took Siegfried’s Balmung and the giant’s sword.

-Your arrogance is sky-high.

The guy looked at me and showed his teeth.

Did he think I had no weapons anymore?

I could see him struggling with how to cook me.

‘Arrogant bastard.’

He stood at the peak of arrogance more than any other god.

That was his second weakness.

[Balmung – Grade A+]

[Description: Dragon Slayer Siegfried’s favorite disease. Made using dragon bones.]

[Effect: Additional damage is inflicted when dealing with dragons.]

An anti-dragon weapon that becomes stronger when dealing with dragons.

‘This is why I brought it.’

But that wasn’t the real thing I had prepared to kill him.

-Now, chew your bones… .

The face of Hephaestus, who had turned into a huge dragon, began to distort.

-Whoa!

Then he suddenly bent over and vomited dark red blood.

“Why, do you feel a little strange now?”

-you… What on earth are you doing… . Cough!

Hephaestus, transformed into a dragon, glared at me with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth.

“Meteorite ash.”

-… what?

“The one that is the most opposite to you, the lava itself and the blacksmith itself.”

The guy is staggering.

More and more blood flows from the wound.

Although you can’t see the scale-covered inside, there is no doubt that a loud explosion is still occurring.

-Wow! Speak quickly! What have you done!

He shouted, glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.

“You only saw Balmung and the giant’s sword that pierced your body. “I was so arrogant that I looked down on my opponent, so I couldn’t even recognize the dust on the sword.”

-Cough!

The ash from the meteorite could not be synthesized using any alchemy or blacksmithing techniques and was an object that caused a rejection reaction.

In particular, he was the main culprit in causing numerous explosions at blacksmith shops.

An abnormal phenomenon was discovered: when mixed during the forging process, the iron cracks, the flame goes out, and the hammer breaks.

And Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and volcanoes, was closer to lava than anyone else.

‘It also means that it is the body most sensitive to meteorite ash.’

This is why I prepared this ash powder.

I knew that ashes that no one pays attention to can become fatal memorization for someone.

However, there was no way Hephaestus did not know about the meteorite’s ash.

So I prepared Balmung and sprinkled a lot of ash on its surface.

The moment he lets his guard down, fatal decisions will be made within him.

-Wow!

Sharp decisions will be tearing his flesh from the inside.

-You son of a bitch… .

“Do you understand now?”

-I will kill you! Kill you and get this damn thing right away!

The guy has clearly become dull.

Now is your chance.

Last chance to kill God.

I pulled out my poisonous dance and turned into a dragon and ran towards the rampaging Hephaestus.

Where is Dokmu headed?

-You bastard!

Hephaestus’ wounds from where the giant’s sword was pulled out just moments ago.

The guy, who belatedly realized the situation, opened his mouth to me and blood was pouring out.

A huge flame boiled from its mouth.

Phew!

-Wow!

But it was late.

The moment when the poisonous dance penetrates the guy’s skin.

Quaaaaa!!

Red flames shot out toward me as I plunged the sword into his skin.

As soon as I stabbed the poisonous radish, I stepped back.

The place I was in was touched by flames hotter than lava and melted.

Bubbling.

The marble melted and boiled.

‘As expected, the god of volcanoes.’

A flame that could melt a stone was something normal to this guy.

If I hadn’t been able to avoid it, I would probably have melted just like that stone.

‘The poisonous dance has melted.’

It seemed that Dokmudo, which was born after enduring the dwarf’s blue flame, could not endure the fire of God.

It was a shame to lose the solo dance, but it was something that was expected from the beginning.

and.

Cheeeeeek!

The hydra’s poison in the melted poison quickly seeped into Hephaestus’ wound.

The goal was achieved.

The molten poison quickly spread throughout Hephaestus’ body.

The poisonous radish that melted and spread caused a chemical reaction once again with the ashes of the meteorite that were already inside the body.

Quagwagwagwang!

-Ouch!!! This, this poison!

An additional explosion occurred within its body.

Hephaestus’ eyes flashed as he looked at me.

“It’s the hydra’s poison. You know, right? “A poison that can kill even God.”

-Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

The god who turned into a dragon struggled.

I twisted my body this way and that and desperately resisted.

-Do you think I wasn’t even prepared for something like this! This body is the god of the blacksmith… . This is it… .

Hephaestus struggling.

The guy stumbled and took a step back.

‘I can’t just sit back and watch.’

I ran to him.

-go away… . Wow!

It tried to resist by swinging its front legs, but the more it moved, the faster the poison spread, so it couldn’t even do that well.

Phew!

After dodging his attack, I picked up the Balmung that he had thrown on the floor.

Fatigue builds up, and just lifting a heavy sword makes my arm muscles tremble.

But now is the time to endure.

“Where are you running away from?”

I picked up Balmung, the dragon slayer sword, and plunged it straight into the guy’s wound.

Pooh wow!

-Ooooooo… .

Balmung pierced the heart of the blacksmith god, which had been slowed down by poison.

“It’s over.”

-no… . There are many things I haven’t done yet… For humans… .

Hephaestus, who saw that his heart had been pierced, looked at me in horror.

The guy who was going somewhere couldn’t walk any further and collapsed on the spot.

-Can not be done. I am… You can’t die, you can’t… .

It made a final struggle with the body of a dragon.

Then, the Hydra’s poison spread throughout his body, and Hephaestus’ body and heart began to melt.

Fear of death.

Lingering about life.

Denial of the fact that he was defeated by humans.

Hephaestus’ face was a mixture of many emotions.

Just like a human being.

The end of God is exactly like that of humans.

How ironic this is.

I once saw a story that when God created humans, he created them in a way that most resembled them.

Maybe that’s why.

The emotions he expressed at the end felt similar to human emotions.

-ah… .

Did he mean that he would remember the face of the person who killed him even after death?

Hephaestus glared at me until the end, with the light of life fading out of his eyes.

-I will curse you.

It was only after half of his body had melted that he finally stopped breathing.

The blacksmith god who died while glaring at me.

I looked at the direction the guy was going, saying there was a way to decipher it.

There I saw a small box.

Inside the old-looking wooden box was a potion that sparkled in rainbow colors.

“This… .”

[Elixir – SS level]

[Description: A potion made with a solution containing the purest power from the Fountain of Life. It is a potion that can heal any wound as long as it does not kill you.]

“Elixir?”

You hid something like this?

The reason I didn’t treat my broken arm was probably because I didn’t feel the need to use it.

Because God doesn’t die with a broken arm.

‘That complacency is what killed you.’

I took the elixir.

‘I got a great item.’

Hephaestus was confident that he could cure all poisons by drinking this, but the Hydra’s poison was not that easy.

‘Even if I drank it, I would have died.’

Rather, the ash from the meteorite would have mixed with the elixir, causing a greater chemical reaction, causing a more painful death.

I expected that he would be hiding this antidote.

That’s why I came prepared to use up all the durability of the solo dance.

This was why he did not rely solely on solo dance, but also used Balmung, the giant’s sword, and even meteorite ashes.

I expected that he would turn into a dragon and that he would become so angry that he would destroy himself.

“I will use this well.”

It was time to put the elixir into Kibisis and wake up.

Clap clap clap.

Applause was heard from behind.

“Wow, that’s amazing. “I never thought I would personally witness a human being kill a god.”

I turned my head and saw a boy with impressive short blonde hair clapping his hands as he looked at me.

“Loki… .”

Loki, god of mischief and deceit.

The most famous god in Norse mythology, and chaos itself, with no distinction between good and evil.

However, perhaps because of its unique properties, it was as popular as Thor in mythology.

A being who gave birth to demons at the same time as being a god.

“Oh, you’re not surprised?”

“I thought you’d show up here.”

“You understand?”

“okay.”

I thought Loki, who likes pranks and is crazy about fun things, would follow me here.

Because I was the one who killed Peripetes and gave me the Blacksmith’s Wrath, the weapon that caused the division between Ares and Hephaestus.

You probably found out when the fight between Hephaestus and Ares broke out in earnest.

It was I who killed Peripetes.

“This elixir was yours too, right?”

As I held the elixir and shook it from side to side, Loki grinned.

“Did you like my gift?”

“You mean the blacksmith’s anger?”

“okay.”

“I think it wasn’t a gift you gave me, but a prize I won in a bet.”

“It’s my gift because it came out of my box. So, did you like it?”

I said while looking at Hephaestus’ corpse.

“okay. I like it.”

Because thanks to that, I was able to kill this guy.

Even if he had an SSS level item, he probably wouldn’t have been able to kill Hephaestus.

What was needed to kill the guy was not a good item, but a means to maximize his carelessness and anger.

The best means was the Blacksmith’s Wrath, and Loki’s Magic Box gave it to me in the Ares Guild’s warehouse.

The reason was the identity of the Magic Box.

That is Loki’s new item that gives the person who finds the winning box what they want as a gift.

So I was able to obtain the blacksmith’s wrath that I needed most.

And since the power of the same god was involved, Hephaestus could only assume that it was the work of Ares.

“I had fun too.”

Loki, with the bright smile of an innocent boy, continued.

“You look like you’re in trouble, but I’ll help you in return for showing you something fun. how is it?”

I faced Loki like that.

“Not required.”

“what?”

“Do you understand if I have to say it twice? “I don’t need it.”
