Hephaestuss works consisted of many things. Hermess Treads that were currently being worn by YuWon was one of his works, and so was the Shield of Medusa that Athena had. Even the Sun Chariot of Ares was made by him.

However, if you asked anyone to pick which one was his masterpiece, they would all say the same thing.

It was Zeuss Lightning Bolt.

Kyne and the Trident are only similar in materials, but they werent made by Ahjussi.

Hephaestus was Olympuss, no, the Towers greatest blacksmith and the Lightning Bolt of Zeus that he had created truly displayed enormous might.

With one swing of the Lightning Bolt, an entire island could be blown away, and it was an item where if you willed it, you could manipulate the weather of the sky. This was the Lightning Bolt.

Cr-Creak

Kynes eye slowly opened, and YuWons palm became numb.

Shwaaaah

It felt as if his right hand was going to be ripped off from trying to suppress the flood of mana that was flowing out of the eye.

The one who made Hadess Kyne was a disciple that Hephaestus was raising.

Creak, crunch

Even if you searched the entire tower, there were less than ten people who could handle adamantium. And even between those ten people, their skill with adamantium was also different.

Adamantium was a unique material that could conduct the power of the Divine Dark Crystal, the Divine Sea Crystal, and the Divine Sky Crystal.

Depending on how proficient one was at working with the material, the difference in the items performance would be like heaven and earth.

Thats why this Kyne is

Crackle, crunch

Squeeze

Clenching Kyne after its eye opened wide, YuWon started to walk forward again.

A much better item than what Hades had.

Step, step

Grrrrrrrr

Gyaaaa

As YuWon approached, the monsters curled up and flashed their fangs in a threatening manner. But none dared to charge first towards him.

No, rather, it was the opposite.

Shift, shfff

One after another, the monsters started to part to the sides. They acted like herbivores that were in the presence of an apex predator.

Kng, kng

Knng

Some monsters even flattened their bodies into the ground and leaked painful moans.

YuWon hadnt done anything. He was only drawing on Kynes power with all his might.

Thats half.

Step

YuWon continued moving towards the Divine Sea Crystal.

His heart was impatient, but he couldnt let that show on the outside because wielders of absolute power must always be relaxed. If those monsters who only acted while believing in numbers were to ever see unrest or an opening, they would charge at YuWon again.

That was why he didnt rush. Slow and steady in every step, he was only walking between the monsters who were dividing themselves left and right.

But then

Woong

Flash!

The Divine Sea Crystal embedded in the mana heart of the Sea Turtle emitted light.

Tsk.

After clicking his tongue in disapproval, YuWons steps grew faster.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Dash

After kicking up his speed in an instant, YuWon ran directly to the Divine Sea Crystal. He used Hermess Treads as well to instantly close the distance by half. But in that moment

Kuaaaah!

The mass of monsters that had parted in two around YuWon all lunged at him again.

You wouldnt die if you stayed still

Clench

YuWon put strength into his hand and wielded his sword against the encroaching tide of monsters.

Seeing you charge in, knowing youll die, youve all been controlled more firmly than I thought.

Crunch

Kynes eye started to produce light, and the mana that was now flowing without restriction flooded out through YuWons sword.

In the next instant

Flash!

Following the path of YuWons sword, Kynes magic power consumed its surroundings.

Fwaaaaah!

Crack

In YuWons path, the bodies of the monsters that had charged in from all directions became nothing. The monsters that were annihilated in the swords path looked as if they had been consumed by something gargantuan. In an instant, over a hundred monsters disappeared.

However, the path hadnt fully opened up yet.

Not yet.

Throb

Krrshk

YuWon could feel the hand equipped with Kyne being ripped apart. It was because of the excess flow of mana that couldnt be handled by his body.

Two more times after this.

It didnt feel right to exhibit Kynes great power that was above his expectations, even more so as his body was creaking from not being able to fully contain the power, like right now.

However, he had to endure it at least two more times.

Shshshshsh

The power flowing from Kyne became empowered once again.

And then a follow-up hit.

Swoosh!

Just like drawing a line on a canvas with a brush, another wide gap was created in the path of the sword by YuWons swing at the swarm of monsters that was obstructing his advance.

Krrshk

His palm was ripped apart again. It was as if his hand was going to explode.

As I thought, is it still too much?

The inherent skill of Kyne, [Hell.]

No, it was a type of phenomenon that couldnt even be called a skill.

The eye that opened on the back of his hand was like a type of door. Where it was connected to, just what type of place that was, YuWon nor anyone else knew.

However, one thing was certain. An enormous power that not even YuWon could estimate flowed in that space.

I can swing it only about one more time.

Clench

YuWon tightened the grip of his right hand which was equipped with Kyne and his sword again, and it shook.

Only one more time. That was YuWons current limit.

Still, fortunately, if he hadnt increased his Arcane Power to three digits, he wouldnt have been able to use Kyne as he had now.

Woosh

Wind started to pick up close to the ground under YuWons feet. His body became as light as a feather, and it lifted into the air with the wind.

[Activating Sky Step.]

[Movement speed has increased by 100% for 5 seconds.]

[You can step through the sky for 5 seconds.]

The innate skill of Hermess Treads,[Sky Step,] which could only be used once per day, was activated.

Thump

He stepped on empty air and took more and more steps, and his featherlike body flew into the air.

The distance was closed in an instant.

Five seconds.

It wasnt a long time, but in a situation like this, that time was more precious than any treasure in the world.

Badump

The mana heart of the Sea Turtle beat more slowly. The Divine Sea Crystal was embedded in there quite deeply.

The mana heart of the Sea Turtle is more sturdy than most metals.

It was the self-preservation instinct of the Sea Turtle. A monster that curled up inside its shell and struggled to survive as hard as possible.

The mana heart of such a Sea Turtle was as sturdy as the shell that covered its body.

Theres no point if I cant cut it out here.

The Divine Sea Crystal was right in front of his eyes. If he was able to extract it, if he was able to obtain it

Ill cut it in a single strike.

Crrrunch

One more timeno. For the last time, Kynes eye illuminated with black light again. Simultaneously, the color of YuWons eyes also changed to red.

[Cinder Eyes reads the path.]

His sight was brightened, and the mana heart that contained the Divine Sea Crystal was made known. The mana heart was bigger than a house, but the Divine Sea Crystal was as small as a fingernail.

If he wasnt able to locate the Divine Sea Crystal and obtain it in this instant, the monsters behind him would reform into a great wave and lunge towards him again. It would become quite the predicament if that happened.

In this moment, when he had to focus on what was going on outside as well, he couldnt afford to lose more time and energy to the monsters.

Where are you.

YuWons eyes started to scan.

Just where are you.

Badump Badump Badump

The mana heart started to beat faster.

With his sight enhanced by both the effects of [Sensory Field] and [Cinder Eyes,] the blue light that was as broad as a house that was emitted by the heart started to shrink, and soon the light shrank to about the size of a small boulder.

Somewhere in that light was the Divine Sea Crystal.

YuWon was tempted to make a gamble, but in that instant before he swung his sword

[Another small fragment of Kyne is reacting.]

He could see a small stone that was lodged deep inside the mana heart.

Skoosh!

Shwaaa

Drip, drop, drop

The blood fell like rain and flowed down. It was the blood that had flowed inside the mana heart.

Drip

The blood began to wet the ground.

The mana heart wasnt the only thing that got slashed.

Grrrr

Shii, shwaaa

The myriad of monsters that was surrounding the heart to protect it had also disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.

A circular ring was drawn where the mana heart had been as the center. Everything had been cut.

The monsters had all forgotten their desire to protect the Divine Sea Crystal at some point and now kept a distance. Their expressions were filled with fear.

Shiiiiee

Gyaaa?

As nothing seemed to happen after a long time, the monsters started to move one by one towards where the mana heart used to be.

Twitch

Something that had been submerged in the blood moved. There was no way the observant monsters could miss it.

Grrrrrr

Gulp

A few monsters seemed to be hungry because they were licking their lips.

They only gauged each other for a moment, and the biggest of the group, an Aqua Dragon, moved forward and opened its mouth really wide, as if to eat its food in one bite.

The other monsters didnt dare to challenge the Aqua Dragon and curled their bodies up behind it.

In that moment

The prey that had been submerged in the blood moved a little.

Scraaak

A line was drawn through the center of the Aqua Dragons body.

Creak

The Aqua Dragons body was sliced in twain and flopped lifelessly to either side.

The reactions of the monsters that had been intimidated by the size of the Aqua Dragon were also split in two. They either thought of this as an opportunity and stepped forward, or they would get even more scared and step back.

Limp

YuWon stood up slowly from the pool of blood.

Because his right hand was a mess, he had to wield the sword with his left. Thanks to this, the feeling of his slash wasnt as smooth as before.

Thats awkward.

As he had become drenched in blood after slashing open the mana heart of the Sea Turtle, YuWon used his hand to wipe the blood off his face. After lightly wiping off the blood on his body, he looked around his surroundings.

Grrrr

Kyaaaah

The monsters were drooling with their mouths open, seemingly having completely forgotten what happened to the Aqua Dragon just then.

To risk their lives for one mere meal YuWon felt that a monster was still just a monster in the end.

Im tired.

YuWon opened and closed his right hand and looked down at his palm. Because of Kyne, he couldnt see it, but his right hand had been ripped apart, and the bones had all been misaligned. It was the consequence of using strength above his means.

Its still difficult to perfectly wield Kynes power. Rather than a problem with my competence, was it a problem with my stats?

The two important stats in the future would be Arcane Power and Constitution. The stat that was necessary to use [Sensory Field] more effectively was the Perception stat.

It was difficult to raise the Arcane Power stat right now, but there were enough methods to raise the other ones.

Looks like Ill need to focus on leveling up for now.

Feeling his lack of stats, YuWon wondered if he had been focused too much on climbing. It was important to climb the Tower, but it was also important to not neglect leveling up.

Whatever. End of self-reflection.

Yuwon lifted his head. He was wondering why the fishy smell had become worse, but it was just because another Sea Snake had approached.

Then

YuWon opened his left hand, and inside

Wooooong

Was a beautifully shining blue gem.
