Episode 036

“This is a weapon obtained from the Abyss.”

“It’s a hammer… . “The power it contains is extraordinary.”

Eitri looked around at the lava hammer placed on top of the group and let out a groan.

“I can feel the power of Hephaestus. “If I’m not mistaken, this definitely looks like something belonging to Hephaestus, right?”

He recognized it at a glance.

The true value of this hammer.

“It’s similar. “It was originally Hephaestus’s, but now it’s mine.”

“is it… .”

He asked, looking around at the hammer.

“Isn’t this a weapon made with forging and blacksmithing skills? “It looks like it was made with magic, right?”

“you’re right. As expected, you recognized it right away.”

“A skilled craftsman should know this when he sees it.”

His eyebrows twitched as he looked at the hammer.

“But why did you bring this? You probably didn’t mean to give it to me as a gift… .”

“I would like to ask you to use this when making weapons.”

“Apparently I was asked to use that body to make a weapon, wasn’t it?”

“you’re right.”

“Are you asking me to use this there?”

I shook my head.

“That’s not it.”

The weapon to be made from Hephaestus’ body has already been decided.

The Viking sword he is currently making with all his passion and passion.

However, not all of the body was used to make that Viking sword.

It will be made using dragon steel tempered with the bones and scales of Hephaestus, who died while transformed into a dragon.

If so, there will be some left over.

That is the head containing the essence of Hephaestus.

“You can put this hammer and that head in the same oven and burn them with dwarven fire for a week.”

“Is that all?”

“yes. And the remaining process for the Viking sword can be done with the same fire.”

“It looks like you know something.”

Eitri narrowed her eyes and asked.

“What are your intentions?”

“I probably told you last time. “My personal revenge still remains.”

“It did.”

“But the poison melted away with Hephaestus. “I need a new weapon that can kill God.”

“You think you can kill God with these weapons?”

“you’re right.”

Eitri closed her eyes tightly.

“You’re taking a path you’ve never taken before because you had a bad student. “You can make a sword with fire made by burning the body of a god.”

“Master, it would be possible. “I will also be there to help.”

“Of course I should help. “Are you going to leave me and run away?”

Eitri sighed and held out her hand.

In his hand was Brock’s bellows.

“Quickly put that head and hammer in and light it on fire. “I have to start working.”

I laughed involuntarily at the sight of the dwarf teacher grumbling.

“This guy, is he laughing? From now on, I will pamper you until your face is distorted!”

“That won’t happen.”

I took the bellows.

The time has come to use your power once again.

“Suyeon.”

“Yes, Mr. Dojin. “What should I do?”

“You have to record this too, right?”

“of course! “That’s what I came here for.”

“All right. But doesn’t annual leave expire tomorrow?”

“Yes, but… . Wouldn’t it be okay to come visit me after work? Actually, it was my first time seeing it. A human who learned craftsmanship from a dwarf. Isn’t this a feat that no one has achieved yet? “This too will become a source of stories in its own way!”

The more stories I wrote, the faster her awakening would become, so it wasn’t a bad thing.

“All right. “It will probably be more boring than when I went to the Abyss.”

“This is better. Fighting those monsters in the Abyss… I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fun, but it was too dangerous. “At least here, I won’t die because of my fault.”

“There will be some explosions.”

“Ugh, don’t scare me!”

I guided her to a less heated area and stood in front of the fire pit.

“Whoa… .”

“Why are you nervous? “Because of that sexist?”

“It’s not like that. only… “This is my first time using God’s fire.”

If Hephaestus’ body is burned, a purple flame called the flame of God will spread, not the blue fire of the dwarves.

Can I handle this fire?

I was anxious about him.

It was a type of fire that I had never dealt with even in my previous life.

A perfect first experience.

“Ckekekekeul, don’t be too scared. “The guy who killed God with his own hands is scary.”

“Because it’s different from using a sword.”

“I am next to you. “If you lose control, I’ll help you.”

How trustworthy those words are.

At least here in front of the fire pit, Eitri was a much more skilled veteran than me, so I needed to trust him to handle the fire.

“Then, let’s begin.”

“okay.”

I put the lava hammer into the dwarven blue fire that was burning fiercely.

Grumble!

The lava hammer reacted and the fire in the furnace grew stronger.

And finally, Hephaestus’ head was placed inside it.

It’s scary to put the guy’s head inside with his tongue sticking out and his eyes closed.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“Ugh!”

The color of the blue flame was gradually becoming darker.

Blue, red, white, yellow… .

The huge flame that turned into five colors of brilliant light burned brightly as if it was trying to pour out all the energy contained within it.

-Are you going to be cursed!!!

I heard Hephaestus’ thoughts in my head.

Its head was burning and it was screaming as if it was cursing me.

-I will curse you! I will curse you! You won’t die well, you’ll be burned by flames and the pain of your whole body melting… .

My head throbs from the burning heat and Hephaestus’ thoughts.

“Hang in there! Let the air in! hurry! “We must burn stronger and eliminate thoughts!”

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Air was introduced by blowing the bellows.

Each time, Hephaestus’ voice grew louder and stronger.

My frontal lobe was throbbing, and the back of my head was burning.

Sweat poured down my entire body, and my arms throbbed as I worked the bellows.

-die! Mortal! You… .

Hephaestus’ thoughts were very persistent.

They were talking in the fire as if they were constantly trying to torment me.

I even had the illusion that I could see his face inside the oven.

“Whoa, whoo… .”

But a god who is already dead poses no threat to me.

Because I killed even a living god.

I had no intention of being swayed by a dead god and falling into a state of madness.

Because I wasn’t that weak.

‘I’ve already made up my mind.’

There will be endless pain on the path I take.

Killing God, putting my hand in lava, God’s thoughts continuing to torment me, and the families of those I killed trying to take revenge by killing me.

This is something everyone has prepared for.

I will do anything to kill the hypocrites who lie and deceive all humans and destroy the world.

This is not for the greater good.

Just a personal revenge.

My second challenge to avoid facing a future that deceives me and eventually kills me.

So I had to endure it.

Because there won’t be another chance.

Phew! Phew!

I worked the bellows non-stop.

Cough! Cough!

“very good! We have to keep that fire going!”

After touching the bellows and adjusting the fire for a full day, the color of the colorful flame gradually became darker.

A light purple color began to form on the furnace, and each time it did so, the voice of resignation became more and more intense.

“I guess we’ll just have to keep this fire going for six days.”

“How complete is the weapon?”

“I think I need to train myself more. “Heating the iron too much isn’t my thing, but sometimes it’s necessary to take the trouble to make higher quality dragon steel.”

We continued to forge, wiping our sweat.

The fire in the blacksmith shop was not extinguished even for a day.

It was on all day, day and night.

As long as the lights are on.

-The Greek gods will come to kill you. Because no one would stand by and watch the death of a family member. At that time, you will regret it when you go before Hades. That is the end of those who oppose God. You will meet a miserable end that no one will remember!

Hephaestus’ curse continued.

The headache gradually got worse.

“Ugh… .”

And on the fourth day.

“Okay. “You worked hard.”

A purple fire called the flame of God rose from the oven.

“Now you just need to do the final soaking for three days.”

“With this fire, the work will definitely go faster.”

Eitri grinned.

I adjusted the bellows next to him without resting.

Hephaestus’ voice was no longer heard.

It wasn’t that his thoughts had disappeared.

It still remained by my side, but not enough to attack my trance-like mind.

Grumble!

As the flames grew stronger, my clothes burned and even my sweat evaporated in an instant, but I did not collapse.

I feel the flame.

The heat you feel in front of your eyes cannot be compared to the blue fire.

Grumble!

The fire I was looking at felt as if it was talking.

-Are you human? It’s fascinating. I’m not a dwarf or a god, but a mere human calling me.

-This is not enough. I need more strength to pull me out.

-Is your strength only this much?

Gradually, a voice other than Hephaestus’s thoughts was heard.

There was power in that serious voice.

Why?

I felt that the voice was very familiar.

-Quickly increase your strength.

Following the voice’s guidance, I put more strength into my bellows hand.

I loaded up my mana and rode the beat.

Mana was carried by the wind that went through the bellows, and as it did so, the flames grew bigger.

A force so powerful that the furnace could not contain it all was felt within the flame.

-There isn’t much left.

I felt like my son-in-law had gone dark and I and the spark were the only ones left in the world.

-okay. That’s it.

The voice made a laughing sound, as if satisfied.

The moment when the flame in the oven changes from purple to blue-green.

Grumble!

A flame ignited and attacked me.

But strangely, it wasn’t hot.

It was warm.

It was as soft as being hugged in a soft bed.

-You have proven yourself worthy to handle me. I will not harm you.

‘What should I do now?’

I asked the voice while swinging the bellows.

-You can do whatever your heart tells you. Just like it did before.

Just like it did before.

I instinctively realized that he was talking about putting Ignis’ core into lava.

I put down the bellows and put my hand through the flames that were engulfing me.

I can hear sounds around me.

Sounds similar to noise were dissuading me.

But there’s nothing stopping me now.

I was confident that I wouldn’t get hurt.

The hand entering the furnace grabbed the handle of the lava hammer that had been heated for several days in the furnace.

Only then did I feel the heat.

The excitement was incomparable to the first time I held the lava hammer.

But it was strangely comfortable.

-Take it out. Because you deserve it.

The moment you take the hammer out of the oven.

The world I was immersed in was broken and my sense of reality returned.

The voice of Hephaestus that had been troubling my head has long since disappeared.

In his right hand, he held a newly evolved lava hammer containing the essence of Hephaestus.

“Well, since I’m with you, I’ve experienced everything in just one month that I couldn’t experience in my entire life. “A human being who touches the flame of God and still remains fine.”

Eitri’s exclamatory voice was heard.

“How long has it been since we started working?”

“Exactly one week has passed. “The sword is all made.”

I saw a Viking sword in his hand.

A Viking sword with an impressive dark red sword body was sparkling in the light.
