『 There is still no news of the Overgeared King? 』
『 Yes. He is still missing. 』
『 Hasn’t it been three days since he went missing? What about the Overgeared Kingdom? 』
『 The Overgeared members are iming that Grid is safe, but... people are still uneasy. This will adversely affect the domestic and foreign situation... 』
The news pieces all over the world were about Grid. As the world focused on Grid who had gone missing during the temple’s opening ceremony, strange rumors started to circte among the essory maker yers. It was rumored that the Yatan Church was looking for essory makers. Why was the evil Yatan Church looking for essory makers? All sorts of rumors spread to the ears of the essory maker yers. It was difficult to rte the Yatan Church to essory makers, so it was judged as simply rumors.
‘Master might be in danger!’ The 7th ranked essory maker Clover, however, was rmed. The Yatan Church was looking for essory makers. How could such a strange rumor spread? The Yatan Church might have a reason for needing an essory maker. Clover couldn’t rule out the possibility that the rumor was true. He thought that his master might encounter the Yatan Church and...
“Master!”
“Keok..!”
[The essory maker Helen has died.]
Clover was a step toote. By the time he arrived at his master’s studio, she had already been killed by the Yatan Church’s ck knights.
“Master!”Clover’s hair turned white. To him, Helen was an invaluable teacher who had taken care of him ever since he chose this ss many years ago. He had vowed to someday repay her grace, and there were only a few steps left until he could.
However... However...!
“Master! Master!!”
Satisfy was sometimes crueler than reality. In reality, it was possible to hold the body of a precious person in one’s arms, but Satisfy didn’t allow that. Clover’s face distorted like that of a demon as he saw Helen turn into ashes.
“The Yatan Church...! Why...?! Why Master?”
In fact, it didn’t make sense to ask why. After all, the Yatan Church was evil. It would be hard to understand the reasons for their actions from a general point of view. Still, Clover wanted to know.Why did his master have to die? He wondered why a person who had refused the invitation of the Saharan Empire and worked in her hometown for all her life had to meet such a terrible end.
“She didn’t care about money or honor... She devoted her life for the sake of others... Her life shouldn’t have ended like this...”
Like other production sses, an essory maker had weakbat capabilities. Clover didn’t have the ability to fight against the ck knights in front of him. Honestly, Clover was afraid. It would be difficult to recover from the damage if he died and lost experience and items. Yet he couldn’t back away from his master’s enemies just because he was scared. Clover was determined to hear the reason from the ck knights. Then he would do whatever it took to make them pay for his master’s death.
‘I will dedicate everything...!’
This was the moment when another person with a profound hatred for the Yatan Church was born.
“It is to prevent the traitor of our church from finding an essory maker from working on the Stone of Life,” the ck knights exined the reason. It was a surprisingly friendly attitude.
“The Stone of Life?”
It was the worst stone made by using the blood of virgins! What monster would create such a terrible stone and then want his master to work on it? Clover’s anger and hatred aimed toward the Yatan Church split toward the traitor they spoke of.
“The name of that traitor is Agnus. Remember it. It is the name of the man who took away the life of your master.”
“...Agnus!”Clover’s desire for revenge deepened at the unexpected name. The newly acquired quest called Master’s Enemy stated that Baal’s Contractor was amon enemy of the world.
Simultaneously, in the capital of the Murray Kingdom, Juden...
“Weak... They are all weak...”A man burst outughing as he visited the home of an essory maker named Catherine in Juden. There was only the stench of death in the messy workshop. The guards, who arrivedter, pointed the spear at the man. “We will arrest you as the suspect of Catherine’s murder!”
“Kik?”
Why did he hear this everywhere he went? Agnus realized that the influence of the Yatan Church was much greater than he had imagined. He felt nervous.
“...”
There was a cute girl with blonde hair tied up in a ponytail. No, the woman breathed heavily as she watched Agnus from afar. She was a powerful member of the Overgeared Guild—a member whom Grid thought was stronger than himself, Euphemina. Euphemina used Faker’s master level Stealth skill, so Agnus couldn’t detect her presence.

[The Blue Dragon’s Breath has been strengthened!]
[Strengthened Blue Dragon’s Breath]
[It is made by the cksmith Grid who is bing a myth beyond a legend.
-Increases lightning resistance by 50% even when carrying it in the inventory.
It can be used to infuse items with the powerful aura of the blue dragon.
However, it can only be attached to items with a strong lightning attribute.
Weight: 2]
“Good!”A grin of delight spread on Grid’s face as he seeded in strengthening the Blue Dragon’s Breath. The bead of white light radiated a constant light.
‘Excellent...’ The cksmith god, Hexetia, admired it. He believed that Grid’s ability to strengthen the by-products of divine creatures to be in the realm of the gods. No, Grid’s patience was even more amazing than his skills. Hexetia had to admit it.As Grid focused and endured the lightning that emerged every time he hit the Blue Dragon’s Breath, his patience reached a new realm ofmitment. It was an area that couldn’t be understood by a god who solved all problems with ‘technique.’
‘Although he wouldn’t have seeded in the strengthening without my blessing... He has the patience to ovee the limitations of relying on technique.’
Bultar, Pagma, and Grid—they were the only humans who managed to reach the stage of seeing the gods’ techniques.
‘...I’m not qualified to be jealous.’
The jealousy that remained deep inside Hexetia’s heart was gradually diluted. He felt ashamed. Without thinking about the great effort that the humans who threatened him put into their work, Hexetia had treated their growing abilities as a mistake by the heavens. He was worse than a child.
‘Yes, I should respect them rather than feel jealous.’
It was ate enlightenment. Bultar and Pagma didn’t exist in this world anymore, but Grid was still here.
‘You will receive their share...’ Hexetia stared at Grid with meaningful eyes. The Sword of Light, which had been constantly hitting the mithril for two days, stopped after dealing thest blow. The mithril magic training wasplete.
[White Light Mithril]
[Mithril thatbines the strength of the cksmith Grid, who is bing a myth beyond a legend, and the power of an advanced light elemental using the Magic Battle Gear Production Method.
It is three times harder than normal mithril, and thepatibility with magic is ten times better.
Additionally, it contains the power of light.
Conditions of Use: Grid.]
“In fact, I had a chance to hold the First Holy Sword recently. It is your work.” Grid grabbed the mithril and threw it into the furnace. “The surface of the de is made of divine stone while the frame is made of adamantium.”
At first, Grid couldn’t understand why it was made like that. Then after the repeated cycle of disassembly, reassembly, and making a duplicate, he realized the reason why.
“The divine stone is a better mineral than adamantium, but it reflects your will. Iron is strong, but it isn’t enough to hold a god’s divine power. That’s why you used the adamantium to concentrate the divine power, right?”
“You saw it clearly. Both the divine stone and adamantium are so strong that they are difficult to join into one. They are sublimated into one through a separate smelting process.”
In the end, the First Holy Sword had beenpleted whilebining strong physical force and divine power. The divine stone, which made up the surface of the de, could easily slice through a great demon’s skin and bones. Meanwhile, the adamantium that formed the frame of the de responded to the user’s divine power to destroy the great demons’ soul.
However, it was difficult to see it as perfect. The divine stone and adamantium were in forms that maximized the attributes of both metals, but no new attributes were formed when they werebined. At least, this was what Grid saw. It was why he had trained the mithril.
“I judged that it was difficult to fuse the pavranium and Blue Dragon’s Breath into one because of their individuality. Then I remembered mithril. Mithril has the attribute to absorb all types of magic, which means it has goodpatibility with all attributes...”
Grid ced the Strengthened Blue Dragon’s Breath and the pavranium in the st furnace which contained the White Light Mithril. Then the Blue Dragon’s Breath that was originally difficult to mix became influenced by the mithril and started to fuse into one with the pavranium.
“Hexetia, please feel proud. I was able to reach this conclusion from the First Holy Sword that you made.”
Ttaang!Ttang!Ttang!
The molten mineral from the furnace was cooled, hardened, and then quenched. Once the red metal waspletely ced on the anvil, it took the form of a translucent tinum which reflected a blue light. The pavranium, Strengthened Blue Dragon’s Breath, and White Light Mithril were reborn as a perfect mineral. It was the birth of the hardest mineral in the world, which maintained the ego while simultaneously having the attributes of lightning and light.
Ttang! Ttang!
The metal became a de. It was a de that could be easily attached or detached using the Pulling Device, but he didn’t attach the silver thread to it. Grid didn’t need the silver thread for a de which could move on its own to carry out its master’s orders.
“To think mere mithril can y such a key role...”
The goddess didn’t create anything in vain. Everything had its own role. Hexetia had be arrogant because he was a god, and he ended up forgetting the basics.
‘I lost.’
As he checked out Grid’s sword, Hexetia hid his ownpleted sword behind him. His sword was much stronger than Grid’s sword, but Hexetia was ashamed that his work was reallycking. It was a failure. He couldn’t raise his head.
“Why are you ashamed? Are you focused on your pride? I was able to make this work because I learned so much from you.”
“...Why am I always pleased when I’m with you?”
[The quest has beenpleted!]
[You have won the cksmithingpetition against a god!]
[Hexetia acknowledges you. He has thrown away his jealousy and gained enlightenment from you. He no longer doubts your intentions in setting up a temple.]
[The Stone of Original Sin encroaching on the Vatican’s First Holy Sword is losing its influence and disappearing. Once you visit the Vatican, you canplete the Cleanse the First Holy Sword quest.]
[Affinity with Hexetia, who has been reborn as a true god, has reached 70 points!]
[The divine voice of Hexetia resonates throughout the world.]
“The cksmith Grid has given me new enlightenment. He is my benefactor, and I will bless humanity.”
[The cksmith god has blessed all cksmiths on the ground.]
[For the next 10 days, the growth rate of all cksmith rted skills will increase by 20%.]
[There is no one in the world who will not know you.]
[The great demons in hell will remember your name.]
[The dwarves want to meet you andpete against you.]
[Someone in hell knows where you are.]
