Chapter 419 – My Alchemical Romance (3)
I took a closer look at the dagger in my hand.
A handle that draws a faint curve to match the shape of my fingers and the way I apply power. It sticks just by lightly gripping it.
“The weight… It’s pretty heavy.”
No wonder. It was refined several times, but it was made by melting the entire huge corpse.
A familiar lion-shaped sculpture was engraved on the top of the handle. Although it was dyed black like obsidian and shimmering.
Seeing that it feels strangely familiar, it must have been made by combining Solari’s divine power and my magical power.
Considering that divine power and magical power do not mix, creating a structure that coexists without interfering with each other like now is a great achievement in itself.
I raised my gaze a little higher.
The handle and cross guard that anyone can see that it was specially made, but unlike the two, the sword body is ordinary at first glance.
A form commonly referred to as a dagger. It is a double-edged dagger that extends straight to about a hand’s length, and is characterized by being easy to cut, stab, and throw.
But the ordinary is only the form. The material that made up the sword body created a strange atmosphere that could not be seen anywhere else.
A thick black line running straight through the center. A blade engraved with a pattern, as if white and red lines were swirling around it, as if entwined around it.
Ominous and hideous
From the pattern, which must have been beautiful, I felt an unknown chill running down my spine.
I can feel it… For some reason, it didn’t seem like it would harm me.
I’ve been looking at it for a while, but I’m still not sure what’s what. In this case, it is also the status window.
T-ring!
======================
[Dagger of the Dragon and Lion that Swallows Light]
A dagger forged only to kill evil spirits.
The blade, whose texture was closer to bone than metal, regularly emitted ominous light. Like a pulsating heart.
The brilliance has been dyed black, but that’s why it can cut through the deepest darkness.
But be careful.
Pure hostility and intent to kill became a terrible curse that made even the gods die. A powerful curse that also cannot free the user from its influence.
Only those who are prepared to die can wield this dagger.
… However, the last piece that an alchemist put in during transformation created a miracle for only one person.
The name of the piece is love.
– When attacking, 30% chance to apply additional light property damage
– Increases critical hit damage by 500%
-Fixed extra hit rate and critical hit rate at 100% when facing evil spirits and their followers
– Ignore the distortion of the rules of the body
-When an additional hit is activated, the user also shares the same damage (however, this option does not apply only to Yandel Lindelheit)
======================
“… This is me.”
A disturbing voice came out of me without my knowledge.
That’s also true, after strengthening the holy sword, isn’t it like a cursed demonic sword protruding? This will surprise anyone.
How is the performance there? Even a simple damage amplification option is an end-level spec, but there is an additional option that even a degraded existence can hurt a god.
Instead, there is a penalty that when an additional hit is activated, the person who wielded it also suffers the same damage… Since I am an exception, it is a restriction that is almost nonexistent.
The reason is probably because it contains Fei’s love, as written in the last line of the description.
“…”
When I think about it, I suddenly feel a little embarrassed.
Faye looked up at me with a calm face, as if she knew how I felt.
“Brother? What’s the matter? What do you not like?”
“You say that, but you look like you can never do that.”
“Of course! Despite setting high goals for this one, the results exceeded expectations! To be honest, I wonder why Kang Chul-nim’s blessing didn’t fall on this dagger?”
“Perhaps it is because of my lack of strength. You must have spent all your energy building the giant golem from before. And…”
The warmth faintly felt in the bloody energy of the dagger. I continued, gripping her handle tightly so as not to lose it.
“This dagger is already finished. I think Kang Chul-nim’s intervention when we bump into each other is rather a hindrance.”
“…”
Faye, who had a dazed expression for a moment, understood her words half a beat late and began to falter.
“Huh? If the owner, junior, says so, it must be so! Are you going to keep watching anyway? Shouldn’t he just give it a try?”
“I want to do that too, but in order to use this properly, you have to wield it against the evil god or the evil god’s family. … I would have killed them all.”
If my memory is correct, the cultists and monsters were neatly absorbed into the two-headed giant, and the two-headed giant melted and became new equipment.
It would be faster to teleport to the Western Front, which is in charge of the Levantine Empire, than to find the family of the Evil God in this area.
Faye tilted her head as she watched me let out a sigh.
“Are there any lower level monsters?”
“… Yes?”
“Monster material is a good material because it is hard and elastic. Maybe there’s a place to raise some useful monsters somewhere here?”
“Isn’t breeding monsters illegal?”
“Don’t worry. It’s not raised, it’s because it’s locked up for a while before slaughtering.”
“I guess that’s it…”
“It is completely different. It’s a rule to kill all captured monsters within ten days, right? As long as you keep this, there’s no problem. It’s not a law that works only in Nidavalli, it’s an international law?”
“Oh…”
I didn’t know that.
I have had my own time, but it’s not that I lack the common sense of the continent of Eurelia. However, I couldn’t help but feel that there were still some things I didn’t know about this little deep story.
For reference, in H&A, if you just kill a monster, the drop item drops, and there is no such thing as an item spoiling.
In other words, it must be a setting that has been deleted for the convenience of the game.
“It’s because of some monsters that decay rapidly from the moment they die, making their materials unusable. You can’t use preservation magic on each one, can you?”
“But. Unless it’s an expensive material like troll’s blood, it won’t be profitable with a moderate amount of material.”
“That’s right! Also, monsters that aren’t profitable are usually weak.”
Is that why there are low-level monsters? I understood everything.
“I understand, Senior Fay. Let’s go right away.”
***
At first, the Dwarves looked puzzled at the request to give me and Fay’s monsters.
If the purpose is performance testing, there are sturdy metal scarecrows, defective armor before melting, and ordinary livestock, so you must have wondered why you were looking for monsters.
When I explained the effect of the dagger, they scrambled to guide me.
An underground iron cage arrived like that. Inside, his body was bound with thick chains, stakes were driven into his major joints, and he was even wearing a barbed muzzle…
Faced the kobold.
“No, isn’t this just an overkill for kobolds?”
“That’s because you’re from the Levantine Empire, so you feel that way. Iron is what surpluses in Nidavalir, and clumsy tools made by novice artisans overflow from that iron. I guess that’s just something I took out from the warehouse in moderation?”
Looking closely at Faye’s giggly voice, she showed a slightly clumsy side.
Such elementary mistakes as the jumbled spacing of the chains and twisted shafts of stakes.
“It was like that.”
I nodded and looked at Kobold with a pounding heart. If you feel your end, you have a good look. .
“Purr! Kong! Khuong!”
“…”
Huh. This is a monster
Like a crazy guy, he threatens this and threatens this. If he hadn’t had his mouth, his teeth would have been hard.
Thanks to him, he can kill him. Even though I’m not going to die soon.
Of course, he has no intention of placing it from the sword bread. There are things to check before that.
“Hmm…”
손에 쥐자 원래 이 자리에 있었다는 것처럼 착 감겨오는 그립감에 나도 모르게 만족스런 콧소리가 흘러나온다.
It’s just like a grip, but how do you feel? He slept lightly towards the air.
Swoop-
“Oh.”
It is hard to wield even though the weight is considerable, or the trajectory is not shaken.
It’s as if the dagger moves on its own and my hands follow. At that moment, the weight of the dagger was not felt at all.
I was embarrassed at first, but I know it in the air a few more times.
“Is the exquisite center of gravity corrections movements.”
I will help my arms stretch out with only the center of gravity. Pay made by Pay always boasted good performance. In this delicate part, it is not possible to follow the blacksmith.
On the contrary, the blacksmith’s ability to deal with the ingredients itself is much lower than Pay.
Anyway, I swung the dagger and stabbed it, and I looked at it. It didn’t take a long time thanks to the sensation that I felt like it was mine without getting used to it.
If there is one unusual thing, it’s because of the material that is amplified when the torsion magic touches.
Perhaps some of my body is used as a material.
I nodded my head and looked at the tied Kobold.
“First of all, at first, only the outside part…”
A little. The very point of the dagger was the moment when I dig into the leather of Kobold.
Quaang!
At the moment, the black light from the dagger filled the view. I flashed my eyes reflexively and looked again at the direction of the Kobold.
“Uh?”
There was only a huge pit, and I couldn’t find the covolt. As if it had evaporated.
“…”
I don’t know. What is this. Scared.
