Chapter 115

A hunting ground near Winston that was a favourite for level 100 users.

鈥淓h? What鈥檚 that?鈥?/p>

The users struggling with monsters noticed a black dot approaching in the sky. Then they started murmuring.

鈥淚t鈥檚 too big to be a bird. Is it perhaps a griffon?鈥?/p>

鈥淭here are no griffon habitats in the area. But I don鈥檛 think there is anything else besides a griffon鈥?It鈥檚 serious if it is a griffon. Will we die?鈥?/p>

鈥淯-Uh? A person?鈥?/p>

The dot soon got closer. Surprisingly, the identity was revealed to be a user.

鈥淲ow鈥?A second advancement magician.鈥?/p>

鈥淚t鈥檚 my first time seeing a ranker up close. So cool!鈥?/p>

鈥淲hat is that thing shining next to him? A pet?鈥?/p>

Kuwaaang!

A man in a red cloak was flying through the sky! The object following him flashed in the blazing sun. The identity of the person was Grid. He flew through the sky without stopping and soon disappeared from the sight of the users.

Then he reached a wide forest and stopped.

鈥業鈥檓 out of mana.鈥?/p>

He had already taken one mana potion. Then his mana became depleted again before the potion cooldown was over. Grid was forced to land on the ground.

鈥淲inston is beyond this forest. I can recover some mana while walking.鈥?/p>

It was a deep forest.

Grid measured the distance to Winston and looked at the frostlight orc chief鈥檚 helmet. After this forest, he would encounter a lot of people. The helmet was the sign of the Human Slaughterer so there would be a fuss.

鈥淚 have to quickly replace this helmet.鈥?/p>

Grid once again vowed to wear an awesome helmet that was suitable for a mythical hero, while the pavranium circled his head. It seemed to be in a good mood.

鈥淎re you excited to get fresh air after being trapped in a box for 300 years?鈥?/p>

Grid asked while walking. But the pavranium didn鈥檛 answer. It was natural. It had a will, but it was just a mineral. It couldn鈥檛 carry out a conversation. But Grid continued to talk to it.

鈥淏ut aren鈥檛 you unbelievably fast? My flight speed was 100 meters in 7 seconds, yet you managed to keep up? Do you have tireless stamina as well?鈥?/p>

Grid looked at the pavranium with affection. It was natural for a blacksmith to feel favorable towards the best minerals.

鈥淜uwooh!鈥?/p>

鈥淕ive it to me! Human! Your life! Flesh and bone! Separate!鈥?/p>

Grid was carrying out a pleasant conversation (?) with pavranium when he was interrupted by sturdy orcs. They were armed with crude red leather and had a large wolf with them. Considering that they spoke the human language fairly well, they were obviously the wolf fang orcs known for being powerful among the various orcs.

Grrrung.

The wolf shook its nose. It was clearly reacting to the bloody smell coming from Malacus鈥?Cloak. It smelled the blood and led the orcs here. In addition鈥?/p>

Kuuong! Kung!

Kyaooooh!

Various monsters such as ogres, goblins and snakes moved through the forest. In an instant, Grid was surrounded by 100 enemies.

鈥淲ow鈥?What is this?鈥?/p>

The users hunting nearby were surprised by the turmoil and came running. It was the first time they saw all types of monsters focusing on just one person.

鈥淭hat person is screwed.鈥?/p>

鈥淲hat did he do wrong that angered so many mobs?鈥?/p>

鈥淭sk tsk~ purposely angering mobs like this~ he should hunt in moderation~鈥?/p>

The people weren鈥檛 aware of the situation and talked among themselves.

Syuok! Syuok!

The goblin archers in the rear shot at Grid. The users saw the dark rain of arrows covering the sky and knew that Grid would die. But Grid鈥檚 high stats made him similar to a level 200 combat class. In addition, he鈥檇 observed Jishuka鈥檚 expert archery, so the goblin鈥檚 clumsy firing seemed like a kid鈥檚 prank to him.

鈥淎re there any idiots who would be killed by these arrows?鈥?/p>

Grid laughed while holding the Ideal Dagger and aimed Wind Blast at the arrows.

Kuwaaaang!

Grid invested all the points he gained reaching level 114 into strength. The damage of Wind Blast was proportional to his attack power. Now that the power of Grid鈥檚 Wind Blast was upgraded, the level 100 goblins couldn鈥檛 endure it.

鈥淜iek!鈥?/p>

鈥淜yak!鈥?/p>

The rain of arrows was neutralized and the goblin archers who had their arms or legs cut off collapsed with a scream. This was the signal for all monsters to simultaneously attack Grid.

鈥淲earing the cloak was worthwhile!鈥?/p>

Hunting had a direct correlation to levels!

Grid swapped to Dainsleif and drank a mana potion. Then he used Wave and fired it all over the place. The monsters approaching him simultaneously collapsed. The ogres were durable enough to survive, but they were hit by Wave and slowed down by the debuff. They couldn鈥檛 threaten Grid with their slow movements and struggled in vain.

Peeok! Pajik!

鈥淜eok!鈥?/p>

Puoook!

鈥淜kieek!鈥?/p>

Wave killed most of the monsters in one blow, while Grid subdued the rest by killing them one by one. Meanwhile, the few remaining goblins fired arrows with all their might. A few arrows actually flew directly at Grid.

鈥淐he!鈥?/p>

Grid was too caught up in killing and belatedly noticed the arrows. He braced himself for the pain. But the arrows didn鈥檛 reach Grid鈥檚 body.

Kwajak! Kwajajajak!

Pavranium rotated around Grid鈥檚 body and destroyed all the arrows.

鈥淲ow鈥︹€?/p>

Was it normal for a class to have a strong offense and defense? The swordsman with the black greatsword killed the monsters with overwhelming attack power, while the metal pet protected the body. This balance seemed perfect.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 amazing鈥?Excuse me, but what is your class?鈥?/p>

Grid swept away the rest of the monsters with pavranium鈥檚 help and started picking up items. This gave the users a chance to barrage him with questions.

鈥淲hat is that gold object floating next to you? Is that a pet? Or maybe a new style of armor?鈥?/p>

鈥淢ister, how about you? Aren鈥檛 you actually a high level user? Why is a high level user hunting in a place like this? Is there anything good here?鈥?/p>

鈥淢ister~?鈥?/p>

鈥淢ister, are you deaf? Answer us.鈥?/p>

The users here saw that Grid was in a crisis and no one tried to help. In addition, Grid was inherently unfriendly towards people. He had no obligation to answer the users鈥?questions.

鈥淭his is too annoying. Fly.鈥?/p>

Grid cried out to the annoying users and used Fly. Then he literally flew away in the sky.

鈥溾€?鈥?/p>

The users left behind were stunned and could only blink. After a few minutes, people in various communities around the world became interested in something.

It was a place called Popo Forest near Winston. I hunted with my friend there and saw a high level user slaughtering mobs. Then after wiping out all the mobs, he flew away. A swordsman was flying?

RnfkRk鈥檚 comment: 銋嬨厠銋嬨厠銋嬨厠 A swordsman can鈥檛 fly 銋嬨厠銋嬨厠銋?/p>

Durururubam鈥檚 reply: A swordsman was flying? I鈥檓 a priest but I can鈥檛 use Heal. 銋?/p>

Black Dragon鈥檚 Right Arm鈥檚 comment: Kukuk鈥?That swordsman was me鈥?Kukukuk鈥?I was careful but I never thought someone would witness it鈥?Yare yare鈥?/p>

Zkxhfm鈥檚 comment: Liar鈥檚 disease.

Admiral鈥檚 comment: Did you mother eat seaweed soup on the day you were born?

30,000 won Salary鈥檚 comment: Don鈥檛 write shit just to gain traffic.

It was a terrible method. The users abused the poster who wrote about the flying swordsman, so the other witnesses no longer bragged about it. Thus, it was a temporary problem and the topic wasn鈥檛 mentioned any longer.

In the meantime, Grid arrived at Khan鈥檚 smithy and ran straight to the furnace. He placed the pavranium in the furnace and controlled the temperature in order to determine the melting point.

鈥淚t is 1,900 degrees.鈥?/p>

The pavranium was so small that it was instantly smelted.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 want to carry it around in an egg shape until I make the Vessel of the Soul, so I should transform it into something else鈥︹€?/p>

But the volume was too small to produce a lot of items. The pavranium wasn鈥檛 enough to even make a dagger. In order to make an item, Grid would have to mix in other materials. However, he didn鈥檛 want to contaminate the pure pavranium.

鈥淟et鈥檚 be satisfied with changing the shape.鈥?/p>

After being with the pavranium for a while, he noticed that it had a propensity to stay by the owner鈥檚 side for protection. He needed to take advantage of this feature.

鈥淎 shape more suitable for defense than an egg鈥?Ah!鈥?/p>

Grid recalled Malacus鈥?shield.

鈥淗e formed a disc-shaped shield with magic power at each attacked point, effectively blocking the attack鈥︹€?/p>

Ttang! Ttang!

Grid started carefully hammering. Then after a while, the pavranium became two disks. Each disc was slightly smaller than the palms of an adult.

鈥淥kay.鈥?/p>

Grid finished the discs. The discs floated in the air before starting to revolve around Grid again. Grid felt reassured. It seemed like he could be protected from most attacks. Then Jishuka arrived at the smithy. Grid told her.

鈥淪hoot an arrow at me.鈥?/p>

鈥淗uh?鈥?/p>

鈥淗urry.鈥?/p>

鈥淗rmm, okay.鈥?/p>

Jishuka saw the golden discs circling around Grid and noticed his intentions. Then she fired an arrow without hesitation.

Syuk!

Chaaeng!

It was a beautiful sight. The two discs around Grid鈥檚 body flew in the direction of the arrow and fully stopped it.

鈥淭hat is great鈥︹€?/p>

Jishuka鈥檚 expression wasn鈥檛 good, compared to her admiring words. Her ego was bruised.

鈥淚t鈥檚 that simple to block? Did I shoot it too weakly?鈥?/p>

鈥淗ey, wait a minute鈥?鈥?/p>

Grid was scared. Jishuka fired again, but this time she pulled the bowstring back to the maximum.

Swaeek!

鈥淎aaagh!鈥?/p>

The arrow that contained all her power flew towards Grid鈥檚 death.

Then!

Jjejeong!

鈥溾€ah!鈥?/p>

Grid and Jishuka let out a sound at the same time. Jishuka鈥檚 was a displeased sneer, while Grid was filled with delight.

鈥淭his arrow can even pierce through steel鈥?Isn鈥檛 this extremely durable? Like Braham said, it鈥檚 the peak of all minerals.鈥?/p>

That鈥檚 right. The golden discs had perfectly blocked the arrow fired by Jishuka. But the impact was quite strong, so it couldn鈥檛 move for a little while after the point of collision. Then it started moving again after two seconds.

鈥業f it receives excessive shock, it is immobilized for two seconds鈥︹€?/p>

If Jishuka continuously fired her strength arrows, the two discs wouldn鈥檛 be able to completely protect his body. Grid felt the need to complete this quest and obtain the rest of the pavranium.

鈥楤ut鈥?If there are 27 more pavranium of this size, it won鈥檛 be enough to make armor鈥?Well, it isn鈥檛 a problem. I can still use it.鈥?/p>

Grid was flexible. Rather than striving to make a complete item with a limited volume of pavranium, it was best to maximize its efficiency by making several small items.

鈥楩or example, attaching a blade made of pavranium to armor. The blade would move on its own to protect me from attacks I can鈥檛 react to, or if the enemy attacks me from an unexpected angle.鈥?/p>

An item that could move on its own! If he cleared this quest and gained the remaining pavranium, he would be able to write the true history of the power of items. As Grid was overwhelmed with pleasure, someone knocked on the door of the smithy. Jishuka asked him.

鈥淭hese discs, they don鈥檛 need to be exposed to other people right?鈥?/p>

鈥淥f course. Isn鈥檛 it common sense to hide it?鈥?/p>

鈥淵es.鈥?/p>

Grid placed the discs in his inventory. Then the doors of the smithy opened. One knight and dozens of soldiers entered. They politely saluted to Grid and said.

鈥淓arl Steim is looking for you.鈥?/p>

鈥淓arl Steim? Lady Irene鈥檚 father?鈥?/p>

鈥淵es.鈥?/p>

鈥淥h? Okay! Let鈥檚 go!鈥?/p>

Why was the master of the north, one of the big powers in the Eternal Kingdom, looking for Grid? In the first place, it was strange that the high level NPC knight, famous for their arrogance, would act so respectfully towards a user.

Jishuka watched the knight and soldiers escort Grid from the smithy and asked.

鈥淲hat is this?鈥?/p>

Vantner鈥檚 armor production request needed to be delayed for a while.
