* * *

It was a dream, but it seemed like we fought very hard.

It was a reenactment of the past.

YuWon wielded and swung Hephaestus hammer-grained sword.

Until the sword breaks and becomes powder.

And at one point, YuWon came to his senses.

Wheeeeeeeee-ee.

The wind came in through the slightly open window.

Looking out the window, it was just dawn.

Is it still dawn?

I opened my eyes earlier than I thought.

I dont need to sleep more, but since I just got out of the dungeon, I was going to sleep well today.

This didnt make me want to sleep more.

Climbing.

When I poured water into the glass, I came to my senses.

The dream came to mind clearly.

Its dirty.

Killed a lot, but thats how many died.

Asura, who fought in the lead by splitting the purple waves, ended up eating the rest of her hair in the Outers mouths.

The thought of it again turned my stomach.

Like this.

I put the cup back down.

To soothe the frustration, I reflected a magical spell inside.

The future can be changed.

To that end, he has come to the past.

There hasnt been much change so far.

Youre the only one whos changed.

So far, the changes in the tower that YuWon brought to us were as small as a speck.

Now, here we go.

* * *

Get out of here, man!

Whoosh whoosh.

Oh, my God!

Suddenly a hammer flew in. It wasnt his head, but his chest, so he didnt mean to kill it.

YuWon didnt avoid the hammer. I had quite a pain in my chest.

Hephaestus was surprised that he didnt expect it to be true.

Are you feeling better?

What have you been up to?

Ive been a long way.

You havent even taken the test, what are you doing.

I murmured and murmured, but I heard everything.

Knowing that YuWon didnt take the test, he probably found YuWons whereabouts.

Im sorry.

Tsk. Are you okay where you got hit?

It hurts a little bit.

Why didnt you avoid me?

Dont you need to be beaten so that you can feel better? Its better if youre sorry.

Lucky boy.

Hephaestus scratched his head with annoyance.

He didnt throw the hammer unless he was quite angry. YuWon had seen him angry a few times, and the quick way to relieve his anger was to hit him with a hammer thrown like that.

Its not like youre going to die anyway, its just a throw for venting.

It may hurt a little bit after being hit, but it was much better than taking Hephaestus anger more.

So, what have you been up to? Lets hear a story.

I went around a dungeon.

So far? So far?

Yes.

I dont think youre embarrassed by a dungeon at your level..

It was a little difficult.

Its hard?

It wasnt an ordinary dungeon.

Hephaistos tilted his head as if he didnt understand yet.

He was one of the best people to know YuWons skills.

He already had the ability to fight Chris from the ground floor, and his item, Quine, was also born from Hephaestuss hand.

21st floor.

Down there, theres a dungeon thats hard for YuWon to attack.

You must have been to a strange place again.

Hephaestus picked up the hammer that fell on the floor again.

The question did not continue further.

It was a dungeon that ended its attack anyway, and dungeon was not the interest of Hephaestus, a blacksmith.

Hows your work going?

Yeah.

Thats a relief.

I tried to break it down a few times, so I held it in.

YuWon followed Hephaestos to the warehouse.

Still, his warehouse was dazzling.

The best blacksmith in the tower, Hephaestus.

If you go outside even one thing, it will be a big fuss. Hephaistos sold them one by one when living expenses fell or he couldnt afford to buy materials.

Where did I put it Oh, here it is.

Hephaestus, who had been searching between the items he had accumulated for a long time, picked up a necklace again this time.

Here you go. Check it out.

YuWon took his neck and opened it.

Inside the necklace was a jewel shining brilliantly in blue.

It felt as if the sea had been compressed into this tiny jewel.

[Jin: Haesin Stone]

# A solidified piece of water born in the beginning. It is made up of mana of water.

# Classification: Material items

# I can rule all the seas.

# Manas water properties conversion

# Summon the Sea (Restricted)

# 50% increase in resistance to water properties mana

# Water properties Manas amplification rate increased by 30%

# 30% reduction in mana consumption of water properties

The overall framework of the item was not much different from the blackstone.

The difference was that the properties of the item itself were different, and the effect of rule the sea.

I rule the sea. I dont know exactly what this is like.

It felt different from the 20th floor test when they used Leviathan and other monsters in the sea.

Unlike living monsters, the sea felt more extensive.

It rules the sea.

I thought I had no choice but to check this effect by using it myself.

For the time being, stick it in quine and use it. Itll be much better than just using it as it is.

Is that possible?

Theres nothing difficult about digging a small groove. You just have to fix it for a second. Give me that. Itll be over in half a day.

YuWon took off his quine and handed it to Hephaistos.

Hephaestus immediately took out his work knife and began to work on it in detail. As it was built on the basis of Adamantium, it was not easy to give Quine a new variation, no matter how small the groove was.

YuWon waited for the work to finish.

The night has grown old.

A groove was carved into the quine, and Hephaestus embedded a sea stone in it.

Its easy to carry around, its not done properly. If you want to use both, youll need to create another similar item.

Sneak-.

YuWon put the quine back on his hands.

It was just a small groove, but it felt strangely different. The gloves seemed to have turned a little colder.

YuWon looked around at Quine and asked.

Or is there a way to strengthen the quine itself?

Strengthen the item?

Yes, Id like to add other ingredients, or use Mana.

Hephaestus was in agony for a while.

Reinforcement of finished items.

It was a way that didnt exist at this point.

But YuWon knew.

In the future, Hephaestos learned not only how to make items but also how to strengthen them and shook the tower.

Apparently Hephaestus was the one who could do that.

Sure enough.

Strengthen, strengthen.

Hephaestus murmured the same thing as if he had gotten a clue.

YuWon waited for his thoughts to finish.

If he had mastered reinforcement techniques early, it would not be impossible to use both black and white stones as an item.

Sometimes you have something to write about.

Sometimes?

Then what else can I use it for?

Hephaestus turned and swung his hand.

The moneys fine, but I paid for the meal today.

Hephaestos sat down in the workshop immediately.

You probably have a lot on your mind.

It may be just a passing story to someone, but it wont be to Hephaestus.

Half a days work, but Hephaestus picked up his hammer and started tapping on the items he had made.

Youd better leave it alone.

YuWon left Hephaists workshop saying goodbye.

I got a seat for this.

The exam on the 21st floor is only a few days away.

About three and a half months.

Stopped on the 21st floor for quite a while.

Well have to go back up.

* * *

The day has dawned.

In Hephaists workshop, several knives, spears, and armor were scattered on the floor.

All of them were broken to the point where they could not function properly, such as breaking or bending halfway.

Enhanced.

Hephaestus was lost in thought with a mange in his hand.

I tried a few experiments, but failed again.

Ive tried many methods, such as increasing the intensity of mana or overlapping new items on items.

Its hard.

I cant hold it as if I cant get hold of it.

But YuWons words still echoed in my head.

It was a life of hammering and continuing to create new items.

Still loved it and enjoyed it, but there was no one who couldnt get enough of the repetition every day.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

The same is true of Hephaestus.

However, the field of strengthening was one that Hephaestus still did not know.

Theres nothing a reinforcementist or human being cant do. However, it is only temporary and cannot permanently change the performance of the equipment.

Hephaestus has wrinkles between his eyes.

Reinforcement. Reinforcement..

Persimmon as a blacksmith was speaking.

Its not impossible at all.

So we have to find a way.

Hephaestus felt burning as a blacksmith after a long time.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

On the stairs leading to the ground.

Someone knocked on the door of the workshop.

Whats he doing this morning?

Hephaestus expression, whose concentration was broken, crumpled.

Looking nervously at the door, he tried again with a hammer and knocking on a normal knife.

At that time, the door rang.

Boom, boom, boom-!

You little bastard!

Hephaestus rose irritably from his seat.

The sound of the door keeps distracting me.

He picked up the hammer as if he would be beaten with a hammer.

by the way

Whoosh!)

what is it?

This wasnt a knock on the door.

It was the sound of breaking.

Is it Olympus?

It was strange.

It has been less than a year since the Administrator on the first floor issued a warning. I thought I could not move around on the first floor for the next few years or decades.

No matter how you get yourself, if you pretend to be the Administrator, youll lose more than you lose more.

My father couldnt have done that kind of calculation. So are they the ones down there?

Squeezing.

The hand holding the hammer added strength.

Raised Mana, ready for battle.

Zoebuck, Zoebuck-.

Someone comes down the stairs.

The sound of footsteps was one.

Then its worth a try.

The sound of walking is getting closer.

Starting with the long bridge, the uninvited guest stands out.

Hey, mister.

A young voice like a boy.

Long arms and legs and white hair.

If you swing it, youll die. Why dont you put it down?

You.

The uninvited guest who broke the door was well known by Hephaestus.

A long time ago.

The one who came to him and asked him to make a long stick.

What are you doing here, monkey?

Huh?

The uninvited guest who broke through the door opened his eyes wide.

A being who dares to refer to himself as heaven.

the Great Wall of Heaven

He looked at Hephaestus and asked in surprise.

Was this your house?
