Chapter 402 – Origin (2)

A week has passed.

Could it be because I unintentionally heard Fay’s story? Maybe it’s the passion for the last masterpiece of life, or maybe it’s the mission as a lord, or maybe it’s the regrets of a failed father.

One thing is for sure, however, that Lokhan, who had regained the vitality of his heyday, was brilliant enough to understand why the dwarves were so obsessed with the title of Meister.

His eyes were burning hotter than a furnace that had never been turned off since this castle was built.

His hair was still gray, but his bony limbs were full of muscle and gave the impression of being stocky. When he wielded the hammer himself, he even felt a kind of reverence.

And it wasn’t much different from Faye.

At first, he kicked me instead of the blanket because I told him what I hadn’t thought to say, but when I started working in earnest, I showed a serious side to the world.

Black eyes sunk deep like the abyss. The light of intellect that shimmered within it was as bright as Rokhan’s, even though the temperature was different.

This must have been the reason why the artisans under his command followed Fei’s pace without saying anything.

For a week, everyone did their best in their seats.

He constantly extracts special alchemy steel, forges it, and connects muscles and complex input/output devices to it.

Ironically, it was similar to how a reckless roar and a turbid union create a two-headed giant.

Whenever I had a chance, me and the other party attacked the giant with all possible attacks.

It was still enveloped in enormous divine power, so I couldn’t properly damage it, but it must have meant something to interfere with.

Since the power we hit has offset that amount of divine power, the speed at which he awakens as an incarnation will slow down or his perfection will drop.

At this rate, I should be able to catch the two demons smoothly.

“… Well, it really won’t end like this.”

Neither the reckless roar and the turbid union are evil gods with great resourcefulness. However, when it comes to battle, it is certain that the name God is worthy of it.

I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m sure you’ve noticed that we have a number of our own. Isn’t number fighting always the basis of combat?

It was the 8th day after a week passed.

Cringe

A roaring sound that seemed to have inflated the sound of bones 100 times that can often be heard when moving stiff joints after a long time.

It was the sound of the two-headed giant, who had been quietly kneeling down on one knee while accepting divine power.

Because he was always paying attention to the giant’s movements, he was able to immediately sense any abnormality.

Asked Helena, who was squinting her eyes atop the castle wall.

“Helena. How long do you think it will take him to fully wake up?”

“I think it will start moving in a few hours. The righteous light…”
“It looks similar to my eyes. At least until the sun goes down today, I will be reborn as an incarnation.”

“As much as waking up earlier than expected, there must be side effects, right?”

“Of course. It’ll probably only be able to move, but it won’t show its full potential. Of course, after a few days, the coordination will be over and the story will be different…”

“I heard from Fay that the golem will be finished tomorrow. It can be done in a day or so.”

If you focus only on holding on to the wall, you will be able to do anything.

Helena and Solari seemed to think so as well, nodding their heads and increasing their divine power.

“Then it would be good to prepare in advance. Lord. It’s a pity, but I don’t think I’ll be able to lead the fight this time.”
“Are you okay! If we give her husband a bunch of blessings, isn’t that what we fight about? The couple said they were hermaphrodites!”

“It must be one heart. Also, if we are all in one mind, do you think there is someone more suitable than me?”

He shrugged at Solari’s words. All right There is no one better suited to the word “One heart and one body” Than these two who live together in one body.

“Isn’t that right because we become one every night?”

“… That’s right.”

I nodded with embarrassment and looked around. As if we weren’t the only ones who felt the change, the Dwarves were busy moving.

The shells reinforced by Fay began to be loaded into the gun barrels that had been aimed at the giants earlier.

I also took out my staff and dagger in both hands and cast Yonginhwa.

A sense that expands in an instant. I breathed in the omnipotence that welled up from the depths of my chest and spat it out.

“Whoa…”

Meanwhile, Helena’s divine power grew stronger, and she radiated her dazzling white light like the sun.

As Helena’s blurry silhouette spread her arms wide to the sides, her divine power, which had been united around her, became another wall.

Woo woo-

A white protective film covering the already solid Dwarven Castle. Unlike the last time, which was opened in a hurry, it is a barrier made with great care. If this is the case, it will last quite a while.

This is especially true for opponents who are incomplete due to lack of coordination.

Looking at the other women who had gathered around me, I said.

“I will go alone this time. Don’t worry, I’ll focus on avoiding and defending rather than attacking.”

I can fly instinctively without being conscious of it thanks to my wings, so there is no one who can follow my movements, so it is unavoidable.

Everyone seemed a little dissatisfied with this, but for now, they nodded their heads.

After roughly tidying up, I stood at the edge of the castle wall and looked away.

A giant with a height similar to that of a castle wall, even though he was still sitting on one knee. The four eyes on his two heads were slowly opening.

He grinned at the black and red eyes that seemed to be somewhat amused.

“If you’re an incarnation, you’re not an apostle, so maybe it’s an evil god?”

I can finally put my god-slayer title to the test.

***

Wow!

A bloody crash could be heard in the distance.

Every time the ground shakes and deafens, the complexion of the Dwarf artisans turns white.

Has the incarnation of the evil god already awakened? How? If so, is it right to endure it? If only I had a little more time… Etc.

People are more afraid of the unknown.

In that sense, the current situation, where ominous imaginations are constantly being stimulated while not being able to know the situation outside, was enough to make even the hard-core Dwarves sick of it.

But only two Faye and Rokan were exceptions.

The two were immersed in what they had to do, as if they couldn’t hear any noise outside. As if completing this golem was his only mission.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

Lokhan swung his hammer to shape the alchemy steel and organically connected the detailed parts.

It looked like a blacksmith striking an incomparable sword, or a sculptor breathing life into an inorganic material.

Faye’s job was to attach the parts Lokhan had made to the golem and adjust them properly.

With a monocular that sees the flow of power, check every small flaw, and use magic crystals to improve the flow of mana more smoothly and uniformly.

Then, artificial muscles that want to run wild are connected between the skeleton and other parts to reproduce the form as close to human as possible.

It builds a blood vessel-like system that pours special lubricants all over the place so that all of these things can move naturally.

What is being completed at Fei’s tiny fingertips is not simply a doll made of steel. It was something close to a creature half made of flesh and blood.

A sight that seems reckless and disrespectful at first glance.

But that’s why the Dwarf artisans didn’t leave their seats even though they were trembling in fear.

Since all of them were followers of colliding steel, they could not take their eyes off the artisans who dared to challenge the realm of the gods.

Outside like that, while desperately wasting time against the awakened giant. Inside the workshop, artisans were burning their souls.

The alchemist has to overcome the pain of the past and this time to protect what is important to him.

The blacksmith regrets his past mistakes, to atone for and fulfill his responsibility before his life is over.

The magic of alchemy and the pounding of hammers filled the workshop.

And by the time the next morning dawned. Faye finished tuning the last part of the giant golem.

“Done… !”

Faye’s voice, which was somewhat cool, contained cheers. She did her best, and it was the typical reaction of someone who gave the best results.

Rokan, on the other hand, let out a deep breath and quietly looked up at his final work.

Taller than the walls built by herself and her ancestors. A body that feels nimble perhaps because of the built-in muscles. And even black outer armor resembling dragon scales.

It was a perfect masterpiece. Maybe he thought he made better than all the weapons he’s ever made.

‘A posthumous work is enough.’

Maybe it’s because the string of concentration that’s been pulled tight so far has been loosened. Or is it simply that the drug has run out?

The power drained from Lokhan’s body after completing the great task, and his eyes slowly began to close.

Vision blurred in an instant. Rokan, who desperately raised his head to catch Fae’s eyes for the last time, couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Huh?”

A solid red line engraved on the black golem’s body.

In the red light that spreads through the golem’s body in a complex pattern, he could feel the divine power he was familiar with.

“… Ah.”

Fei opened her mouth blankly. Rokan could understand her daughter’s reaction better than anyone else.

Decades ago. It was the same phenomenon as when he created the work that gave him the title of Meister.

Blessing of clashing steel.

The god of fire and steel recognized Fae and her golem.
