chapter 219 – Building a Castle(7)
-You ate grilled heat lizard. The penalty has vanished due to the Resist Fireskill.
-Resist Fire skill proficiency hasincreased.
-Resist Fire ability has increased by 20% until the meat isdigesting.
Kang Shin-hyuk felt anxious as he cooked the fire lizard, but once he removed its blood and cleaned the skin, he gradually became more confident. However, he was still worried about what that penalty would have been had he not possessed the resist fireskill.
“Is it okay?”
“It feels like something is burning inside, but it’s okay. I can digest it right away.” It was a technique beyond modern humans, but she seemed to be telling the truth.
“Are you doing that with an ability?”
“Yes. This way, you can consume a lot of energy in a short time. Isn’t it awesome?” However, it had the disadvantage of making one hungry quicker. Shu said so and laughed as she tried to put the skewered lizard in the furnace.
[Don’t disturb us.]
“Hng, but it’s delicious baked in that furnace.” That’s because it was a furnace that had reached the X-grade, at least. So not only metal could be made in it, but also delicious food. Kang Shin-hyuk thought briefly of using it to sell skewers on earth but put that thought aside. It would be an insult to the artifact.
-But it really is miraculous. The downside of being vulnerable to cold still remains, but except for that, it is a furnace any blacksmith would covet.
‘Right. It was worth it coming here to make it.’
-A 500,000HP bonus to members who create objects that will be remembered through a world’s history!
Even though it was vulnerable to the cold, the water orb embedded in it would protect it from water and the cold. It would take an ability of SS-rank or higher to destroy it at that point. However, he had to admit it had oneflaw.
‘No fire.’ It could withstand incredible heat and hold it, but it could not create such a flame. Most hearth-shaped artifacts sold in modern times (though there weren’t many) could create sparks on their own. Kang Shin-hyuk also wanted to create such a furnace, but the result was instead a product that was thoroughly faithful to a furnace’s original purpose.
“I have to get the fire.” Therefore, even now, Kang Shin-hyuk was observing the Yeomin with hawk eyes as they emitted their special flame to light thefurnace.
‘Isn’t it impossible for me to learn that myself?’
-It is the Yeomin’s ability. Moreover, you already have two specialabilities.
Yes, much like it was impossible to replicate the energy of the Golden Dragon born of his trait, it was impossible for him to mimic their energy. If so, what about creating a medium that could store that flame in large quantities? Like a fire orb, forexample.
‘Well, an orb won’t just pop out because I want one.’ It wouldn’t be easy to find or make such a thing; even the water orb had been the greatest treasure Kieron had to offer. But, hadn’t Shu told Kang Shin-hyuk he could receive fire as a reward? He didn’t know the details about the reward because he wasn’t in charge of the dimensional quest. The administrator might explain, but that didn’t mean he could get it anyearlier.
“Grandpa, what will you do? Can you make one more furnace?”
“I thought about it, but it can’t be helped because of the orbs. How about just grilling it with a lizard’sflame?”
“Hm? I think that will be okay too!” It was an extremely cruel idea, but Shu nodded like it was a good one. Then, a few more fire-lizards would be captured when the next wavecame.
[It would be nice for it to be peaceful.]
“Well, you only have to stop the lizards.” Kwati, who was in charge of commanding everyone, complained beside him. Shu was doing well enough, keeping them safe; weren’t they the ones who were lacking so far? Not that Kang Shin-hyuk said such things out loud.
[Pour more!]
[You’re already tired? Hurry up! You’re not even done with one lap!]
Now the Yeomin had been divided into three groups that were working diligently. The soil evenly spread over the basin was collected and poured into the furnace, a flame was poured in to make bricks, and the finished bricks were carted away to build the walls. Of course, even an hour after starting, they had completed less than 1%. When he first made plans, it seemed like they could finish it sooner, but it was no joke to build a 60-kilometer long wall.
“Slightly lower theheight…?”
[No, do 50 meters as planned. At that level, we can completely block any enemy.]
[Rather, I think we could raise it to 100 meters.]
“No, let’s not. Please.” He had no intention of spending winter vacation here. Actually, he didn’t know what the time ratio was.
-It is 7 to 1. There is a possibility it will further increase depending on the situation.
“Doesn’t that mean this world is getting seriously dangerous?” The administrator didn’t refute him. Such ominous thoughts took root in his mind. At some point later that afternoon, as he was using fire from a group of lizards to cook the meat, Shu shouted out.
“Kwati, other guys arecoming!”
“Other guys?”
[Other guys?]
Kang Shin-hyuk and Kwati both raised their heads at the same time.
[Anvil, take command for a moment.]
“No, I’m not even aYeomin…”
[If you can return the explosive gold back to dirt, you can do it. Wait a moment!]
Kwati ran forward and left Kang Shin-hyuk to take thecommand.
“Let’s work a little harder. This is to speed things up a little bit.”
[What? Suddenly, I feel comfortable moving my energy…]
He strengthened the workers with his guardian Golden Dragon and backed them up with the spiritual power contained in his threads.
[I thought he wasn’t a normal human… is this also a craftsman’sability?]
[It’s amazing. He’s obviously not our kind, but how can he understand us so well…?]
Luckily, his actions seemed to be welcomed by the Yeomin. But something very bad sounded like it was happening on the otherside.
[A rock wolf? Why are you guys here?]
[Grrr…you must know thereason.]
A huge wolf made of rock, more than ten times the size of a fire lizard, approached and growled just a hundred meters away from the wall.
[Why the hell are damn lizards wandering through our land?]
[You don’t know? We’re also against them. If you don’t want them to dirty the land, you can bite them.]
[They are only targeting you.]
[Sure.]
Kwati spoke confidently and laughed as she confronted him.
[We don’t intend to take responsibility for sins we didn’t commit. If you don’t like the lizards, stand up and fight them. It’s nothing more than foolishness to come to us.]
[I have a differentopinion.]
The biggest rock wolf, perhaps their leader, sounded like scraping iron as he spoke.
[Isn’t it just a matter of getting rid of you? If you give this volcano to those lizards, it won’t bother us.]
[What a stupid idea, next would be your turn…]
[No, we agree with that.]
It was from the sky that the third person’s voice could be heard. A turtle was flying above. Kang Shin-hyuk had to clear his eyes, but he had made no mistake. Giant turtles were flying in the sky above them. However, their bodies were transparent and couldn’t be accurately seen unless he used his spiritual power. Without spiritual power, all that could be seen was an ominous purple-glowing shell floating in the sky.
“Wow, it’s a flying shell!”
“I expected such a reaction.” Right beside Kang Shin-hyuk, there was a girl with oddly dull senses. Kang Shin-hyuk looked over at Kwati, who seemed to be growing more uncomfortable.
[Storm turtle… it’s funny; now you’re showingup?]
[Salt girl… we’re normally invisible, but it isn’t easy…!]
[The swamppigs?]
A pig?
“Grandpa…!” Shu exclaimed with excitement as she saw a group of giant pigs slowly crawling up from the bottom of the mountain, the newest group to show up for war.
“If you grill them in the brazier, it would be so tasty!”
[You’re going to eatus?!]
Kang Shin-hyuk used his spiritual power to grasp the swamp pigs’ body compositionroughly.
“Well, they don’t seem good to eat…”
[I’m going to grill them whole!]
The swamp pigs started running around angrily, but then, another group came up from the bottom. They were hit by the new wave of the fire lizards.
[At a time like this, more of them.]
Kwati clicked her tongue. She was starting to feel the dark malice of Jormungand that lay behindthem.
“What are you going to do? Do you think you can solve it bytalking?”
[Ha.]
Kang Shin-hyuk asked, but Kwati only laughed.
“If I knew it would be like this, I would’ve gone to play where they normally are.”
“Shu, what do youthink?”
“I’ll worry about it. Which one will cost the least…” Shu looked around for the enemies coming up from the bottom. The Yeomin were still working hard on the wall that was far from completion. Then, she nodded with determination.
“Let’s complete the wall first. I didn’t want to do it because it’s impossible.”
“Huh?”
“Please take care of the later work, grandpa. And Kwati.” He wanted to ask her what she meant.
-Woooosh.
The height of the basin suddenly lowered. At the same time, the walls of explosive gold soared more than 50 meters high. It was as if the basin had been scooped out and converted directly into bricks.
“Shu, what…” Shu fell down, and the Yeomin who were working followed herdown.
“What’s happening…?”
-Member, you must complete thewall!
Kang Shin-hyuk instinctively reached out to the wall as that message filled his retinas. Golden Dragon energy and spiritual power mixed together and emerged from him, pouring into the wall at a much faster rate than he was usedto.
[They’re doing something weird. Attack!]
[Break down that wall!]
The wall had suddenly sprung up, and the coalition, which already burned with hostility towards the Yeomin, charged with the fire lizards. However, when the first storm turtle began to bombard it, the spiritual power Kang Shin-hyuk spread into it began to morph. Combined with the energy of the Golden Dragon, a cry rang out as the wall shook. A flash of gold erupted, repelling the stormturtles.
-It’s a success!
“…No, what is it?!”
-This is the racial ability of Super Ultra Galaxy Fist! We skipped the process of building the wall to go straight to the result!
“No, even King Crimson couldn’t do this!” A translucent dome of red energy was formed around the fifty-meter highwall.
In Kang Shin-hyuk’s eyes, information on the completed wallappeared.
