#101
101. Niflheim (13)
I narrowed my eyes.
The facilities were not large.
At most, a small playground.
A showcase was placed between the walls made of black marble.
I stepped inside and said.
“132, right?”
“Yes. A total of 132. These are items that were born at the master’s fingertips.”
“What can I do to just say it’s my fingertips.”
I took out a weapon from the display case in front of me.
Chareung. The gray light emitted from the scabbard covered her eyes. I took a longsword in my hand. The gray blade had grains sprouting like tree branches. recited little.
‘Item appraisal.’
[Mistiltane]
[Rating: S]
[Immortal!]
[A sword made by specially processing cursed world tree branches and black iron. You can inflict damage ignoring all the blessings of the opponent. However, physical and magic defense cannot be ignored.]
[Attribute: Fixed Damage (A)]
[Note – Special Bind Item, Undestructible]
[Note 2 – Niflheim Collection (No.065)]
“It’s been a while.”
He swung his sword with one hand.
A cold feeling traveled through his wrists and into his shoulders.
I remembered the fight against the black dragon.
The most difficult thing in the battle with him was, of course, physical and magic immunity. However, if this weapon had been present at the time, things would have been different. This Misteltein had the effect of ignoring special defenses such as immunity and reflection.
‘Fixed damage isn’t convenient.’
There are no other features, but the fixed damage alone is worth keeping.
but.
“Would you like to take Mistiltein?”
“no.”
I returned Mistiltein to the display case.
‘The effect is good, but the usage is limited.’
Mistiltein is only effective against enemies using special defense, but not so powerful in normal times. In terms of versatility, it was better not to choose.
I turned my gaze to the display case next to it.
The entrance of the display case, which had been protected by five layers of devices, opened. Inside was a translucent blue sword.
[Barisada]
[Rating: S+]
[Immortal!]
[It was made with the horns and scales of the Shadow Demon Lord. You can fire a slash that ignores the opponent’s physical defense and related skills.]
[Attribute: Physical Penetration (S)]
[Note – Special Bind Item]
[Note 2 – Niflheim Collection (No.113)]
I reached for the scabbard.
The scabbard became blurry and penetrated the hand.
‘Physical penetration.’
Physical defense is impervious to the owner of this sword.
Barisada’s blade, created by subjugating the Shadow Demon Lord who hides his body in the zero dimension, can pass through the opponent’s armor or scales and cut only the inner flesh. In front of this sword, any tough enemy will be reduced to a scarecrow.
‘It doesn’t work for magic defense.’
I removed my hand from the display case.
clap. The door closed as the protection reactivated.
I headed to the next showcase.
This time it was a spear, not a sword. My name is Gungnir. It is a backward compatible and early model of Brunak. However, it has its own strengths, and can crush dozens of enemies far away in one blow.
“How about Gungnir? I think it will be of great help in large-scale battles.”
“Is that your recommendation?”
“Yes. It’s an activated type, so it’s okay if you don’t know how to use spears.”
Yurnet, who was going ahead, looked back.
“Master, you can take all the weapons here. Master made them in the first place.”
“I didn’t make it myself.”
I shook my head.
All equipment in the secondary arsenal was made manually. In other words, it was produced using the mini-game of ‘Pick Me Up’. Like the sword and shield I wear.
But alone it was impossible.
If there are no various personnel to assist in the production of items, the equipment I can make is B grade at best. In particular, if there was no Yunet, I would not have dreamed of an item higher than S grade.
“Besides, don’t most weapons have owners? I don’t take them carelessly.”
“but…….”
“Above all, I don’t really like it. Things like this.”
I made a list of items in my head.
132 in total. As soon as materials are available, it is not an item made randomly according to interest. Made on demand at the right time. Most of that need.
‘Maximizes the owner’s strengths and smooths out weaknesses.’
101 of the 132 weapons have a designated owner.
Normally, it is strictly stored, but when it is exhibited, it will be taken out of their hands.
Additionally, these weapons were custom-made by analyzing the owner’s fighting style.
Items that increase firepower for heroes who show weakness in large-scale battles. If long-term combat is a weakness, it reinforces physical strength, and if it is weak in attribute attributes, it is supplemented. The 5th shin of the main party was no exception.
“then.”
“I’m sorry. I asked you to come for no reason.”
I laughed bitterly.
“As expected, there doesn’t seem to be any weapons I can use here.”
Even if I look at the specifications of all the collections, there is no weapon that I can use.
Even if there was, the performance of the weapon itself was a form that hindered my growth. I closed my eyes and thought again.
‘A sharp, hard, unbreakable weapon.’
I shook my head.
This is not enough. If you’re satisfied with this, there’s no need to bring weapons from Niflheim. You can also make it in Taoni.
‘… … If it’s more than that.’
The conclusion came out.
I opened my eyes.
“Yurnet.”
“yes.”
“I’m going to make a weapon.”
“As commanded.”
Yurnet waved her hand.
The fog gathered and a dimensional portal was drawn.
“I was thinking similarly. The treasures here are certainly powerful, but they don’t match the master’s dignity.”
I chuckled.
As I stepped into the portal, fog covered my entire body.
walked outside A system message announcing the current location appeared before my eyes.
[First Furnace Lv.Max]
Lava is boiling.
Red-hot air bubbles burst and heat rose.
Yurnet waved her hand, and a translucent energy enveloped her body.
“Master, be careful. The temperature is hot.”
I looked ahead
The lava gathers to form a small lake. The primordial furnace. It was a special facility that could be obtained by reaching the highest level of the Equipment Factory and meeting some secret conditions. The effect was simple.
‘I can make a special item.’
Instead, there were several penalties.
“Prepare.”
“of course.”
Yurnet put a black cloak on me.
The hot energy faded. It seemed to have a cooling effect.
“Prove it.”
Yurnet’s voice echoed throughout the cave.
grip support. I looked at my left hand. Jet-black lightning was bouncing from the ring on his index finger.
<Nippleheim’s master authority is being linked.>
Yurnet’s eyes glowed blue and then sank.
and.
[Start crafting equipment!]
A hologram window popped up at the top of the field of view.
I’m familiar with it as I’ve seen it hundreds of times. It was the production center for ‘Pick Me Up’.
<Master, what kind of weapon do you make?>
“As a growth weapon.”
I have been making items for heroes who have almost finished growing.
But now I am not even fruitful. I needed to change my method. I adjusted the window of detailed conditions.
kind, special.
form, longsword.
formula, casting.
[Have you chosen a casting? Are you okay? A penalty will be awarded.]
I touched the ‘Yes’ button at the bottom.
[Please add ingredients.]
[List of Ingredients]
[※ Ingredients can be classified by type.]
[Nippleheim Seongcheol (A) X 207]
[Mithril (S) X 193]
[Hellhorse Leather (A) X 93]
[Sea King’s Scales X 13]
[Heavenly decision… … .]
A list of hundreds of materials stored in Niflheim’s warehouse came to mind.
I started sorting by pressing the tab at the top. Ore as Ore. Leather is leather. After finishing the classification, he recited the items to be put in.
“9 Holy Iron, 5 Mithril, 3 Dark Iron, 2 Orichalcum, 1 Nebula, 5 Crystals of Hell…”
A white magic circle appeared on the right side of the furnace.
The material began to be gradually summoned on top of the magic circle. I envisioned the finished product in my head and recited the names of the ingredients.
13 kinds of ores.
10 types of leather.
15 crystals.
9 types of wood.
8 others.
It was decided to use a total of 55 types of materials.
<Material ready. I declare a convocation order.>
A portal of fog appeared on the left side of the furnace.
An old man with a shaggy beard walked out of the dimensional door.
“What did you call me for?”
<This is the master’s command.>
“What? Master isn’t here?”
The old man’s eyes turned to me and widened.
“Stop, no way…!”
<The 1st Convocation Order. Gather all artisans of level 1 or higher to the facility.>
“Ah, ah, okay!”
The old man sighed and disappeared.
‘Was it like that?’
at the same time.
[Equipment Workshop Lv.Max!]
[The condition is perfect. If the conditions are met, the best weapon will be created!]
[Affiliation Facility – Blacksmith (Lv.max), Woodworking Shop (Lv.max), Workplace (Lv.max), Endowment Shop (Lv.max), Alchemy… … .]
[Standby capacity – 135]
<Start of 1st processing. Send material.>
The material of the magic circle became light and scattered.
“A blueprint?”
<Currently writing.>
I looked around.
Yurnet’s robes fluttered violently. Numerous magic circles appeared and disappeared in the air, repeating.
<The enchantment technique is a self-evolving liquid type. It analyzes the master’s battle pattern and transforms into an appropriate form. next. Synchronization of the furnace and the mill is initiated.>
The air distorted and a landscape was reflected.
It was a forge where various tools, large and small, were placed. There, an old man was wiping his sweat. A crowd of people groaned behind them.
<The gathering is over. But wouldn’t it be difficult to use 13 types of ores? Doesn’t fit at all… … .>
<Wait until instructions are given.>
The empty landscape blurred.
Yurnet turned to me and said.
“Master, are you okay? As a result of the calculation, the production difficulty is higher than expected.”
“How much?”
“I don’t think it’s going to be a super-hell. In my opinion…”
I said, turning my wrist.
“It must be a god class.”
It was the level of difficulty when creating the 5 new machine.
“It may be more than that.”
“I’ll find out if I try. Are you ready for the enchantment?”
“yes.”
“Then go.”
Production is done manually.
The blast furnace in the beginning does not move unless it is manually operated. Next was the difficulty selection screen. From the lowest level below to the super-hell level at the top. Crafting puzzles are classified into a total of eight difficulty levels.
‘Basically, I mean.’
I clicked the furnace icon on the left.
[Those who want to enter hell, offer sacrifices.]
A burning effect has been created in the crafting window.
[※Hell]
[The primordial furnace, effect activated!]
[Insert the item. Depending on the grade of the sacrifice, the hidden difficulty will be opened.]
“Stormbringer. Vegalta. Azoth.”
<Do you put 3?>
“okay.”
<As commanded.>
Three swords floated above the lava lake.
Although each has no owner, its rank is high. Also, there were weapons that could be replaced. The swords fell into the lava and melted away.
‘Three.’
I brought three weapons of S rank or higher and dedicated them.
One when making the other 5 sacred machines. Even during Levatein, I only put two.
[You made a reasonable sacrifice.]
[I will open the door to the true hell.]
[Granted Difficulty – Super Novice]
‘It’s a super-class.’
I clicked my tongue.
I was half expecting it.
Weapons that change fluidly have an insanely high difficulty level.
It was the reason I hadn’t tried growth equipment in the meantime. No matter how Niflheim was, losing hundreds of the finest ingredients would be a huge blow.
[Difficulty penalty activated!]
[The effect of the facility is reduced by 1/3.]
[Probability of success: Impossible – assert. Don’t.]
[Would you like to create?]
[Yes / No]
“They said not to do it. I already put in the sacrifice.”
Yurnet smiled.
“There’s no going back.”
I turned my shoulder.
I emptied the thoughts in my head one after another. I was the one who made fun of the difficulty of Super Hell, but the story is different from the new level and above. It could have failed with a single carelessness.
‘Almost a year.’
Time spent on puzzles.
When everyone was doing auto production, I stuck to manual production. I studied the patterns of the puzzle and practiced countless times at the same time. To give the hero a stronger weapon.
‘A thousand hands.’
Also known as the Thousand Hand.
It was also another nickname that someone called me.
“Is there any meaning to this puzzle?”
“Of course.”
“is it.”
[Would you like to create?]
[Yes / No]
I clicked on the selection window.
