A VIP as Soon as You Log In

Chapter 184 Grace of Anvil (1)

The battle continued for another dozen minutes. Each time the wolf cried out, the sky vibrated, and a silver flash shot out every time it sprinted through the sky. If Kang Shin-hyuk didn’t know, it would be easy to mistake as thunder and lightning.

-It’s over!

Then, the wolf opened its mouth and spewed out flames greater than the light the basilisk had breathed.

-Hwaaaaaah!

It was like the sun was pouring out of the wolf’s mouth. Red flames covered the sky, blindingly bright. It consumed all the snakes in an instant and even destroyed the energy lurking beyond them.

-Ahh.

-Unfortunately.

Perhaps that was the core of the gate. Immediately after, a horrifying unknown voice permeated every corner of the world. The black hole torn in the sky disappeared neatly, leaving a bloody sunset in its wake.

“…” Kang Shin-hyuk, who was watching the scene from a safe place, trembled. He could hardly believe that an independent entity could use such tremendous energy alone.

-It was fortunate you could collect the reward on a basilisk by yourself.

“Exactly. Had Mirang arrived sooner, I wouldn’t have been able to swing my sword once.” The process had been a struggle, but he gained a lot from that battle.

“Anvil, were you watching?” The voice of a young man suddenly appeared in his ear. Looking up, the giant wolf had vanished. Looking back, a person was calmly standing behind him.

“Mirang?”

“Yes.” Now he was in the form of a young human man like Kang Shin-hyuk, but with beautiful silver hair and eyes that shimmered like emeralds. He had a handsome face without any wrinkles, with particularly alluring eyes. Kang Shin-hyuk was able to naturally accept him as he could tell he was the same from his spiritual power.

“I saw you well, you were tremendously strong.”

“Because of the limitations of this world, I couldn’t reveal all my power. It was enough to defeat Jormungand’s spearmen, though.” Mirang grabbed Kang Shin-hyuk’s hand, shaking it, and Shin-hyuk repressed his instinct to step back. He realized that an overly beautiful face was scary. Of course, Claire was an exception.

“It’s an honor to meet you in person, Anvil. The fact you chose to die as soon as you became a VIP was disappointing for me, as well as for many other members who wished to meet you. However, there was a chance to complete that great karma and meet in a new way. I should express my gratitude for Gaia’s harmony.”

“Thank you for saying so.”

“It’s embarrassing, but I haven’t been able to acquire any of the new things you’ve put on the trading board. I responded to this application so I could meet you in person and ask for a product.” Shin-hyuk wanted to ask why Mirang hadn’t whispered about it, but then he remembered he had declared himself he wouldn’t accept personal requests for the time being. That was why Mirang ran to him so quickly.

“Thank you. Of course, I still have a long way to go to reach my previous life, but I think I can make some good stuff.”

“Oh, really!” Honestly, seeing Mirang spewing out flames made him wonder what would be useful to such a person. In the meantime, he made sure Mirang would stay here to protect them.

“But can you wait for a moment? I have to talk to them.”

“Ah, yes, I will wait. But it’s really fun to find a new member of the Hero Universe in a world that was about to perish.” Mirang laughed at the sight of Milia holding the water orb. Kang Shin-hyuk didn’t understand why he laughed; perhaps it was something for those who had a wider view of the universe.

“Milia.” Kang Shin-hyuk left Mirang and approached Milia, who was still intently controlling the water orb. To be more precise, she was gathering all of the poison blood scattered around the world, evaporating the pure water to leave only the poison essence.

“Good morning, Anvil.” Milia blinked as she looked down on Kang Shin-hyuk. Her voice caused the air to vibrate.

“I need help with holding this. Could you?”

-With the control of venom blood now possible, all you need is an alchemy flask sold on the trading board. It can’t be bought by this Water Fox who just signed up.

“How much is it?”

-It is a special solution flask that costs 10,000HP per 750ml flash. It is 6,500HP at the VIP special discount price!

Certainly, it was too much for Milia to pay since she just joined, but it was practically worth pennies to him. He went ahead and bought twenty right away. Now that the water part was removed, the poison blood had reduced to a more manageable size.

“Hand it over.”

“Uh, um.” Milia blushed a little at Kang Shin-hyuk but pushed the venom sphere towards him. It looked rather threatening, actually.

-It is only pure poison. Even the most brilliant alchemist would struggle to achieve this degree of purity.

‘But Milia did it.’

-The Water Fox has awakened a very powerful trait of dealing with water using water magic. Since each member’s personal information is confidential, we cannot provide detailed information, but it’s honestly annoying to me as well…

He couldn’t tell her personal information, but he wouldn’t hide his emotions at all. The administrator continued as Kang Shin-hyuk wrapped the poison sphere with wind and suppressed it with his spiritual power.

-The water orb is a precious object created by the Water Fox’s ancestors. Only the royal family can properly handle it. But in a world where hope was lost, that bloodline weakened and left the world to end…

“…”

-That was when you appeared as a prince on a white horse.

‘I kept quiet because I didn’t want to hear about that.’ After Kang Shin-hyuk succeeded in shrinking it, he transformed it with the wind into the flask.

-The Water Fox had the potential to succeed in the world but didn’t have the quality to do it herself. However, your ability to interfere with the source made her grow. The Water Fox, exposed to you, eventually brought out her latent power and reformed herself.

‘Thanks to that, she joined the Hero Universe.’

-She is of a level that surpassed her ancestors.

He had never felt this way in other worlds, but now he felt that his actions had really influenced this world’s existence. A savior who would take charge of the world was born under his influence, causing his head to hurt whenever he thought of the aftermath.

‘Milia’s possibilities awakened, though I just came to do a dimensional quest.’

-To summarize, that is it.

As he slowly descended to the ground after clearing up the poison, the residents of the city went to worship Kang Shin-hyuk.

“Thank you!”

“Apostle, you have granted strength to our queen, so we will offer up our prayers!”

“Not just that, but the help of another god…”

“Thanks to the wolf god!” Kang Shin-hyuk was greeted by the trembling people. It was at a level he couldn’t deny with a simple no. He was the one who defeated the basilisk, and then Mirang had also shown up. Added to it, the queen Milia became huge…

“Anvil, I guess you didn’t do a lot of dimensional quests.”

“Mirang.” Mirang appeared in front of Kang Shin-hyuk, perhaps having noticed his embarrassment.

“It’s no wonder humans serve us like gods. Rather, it’s often better for them, so it’s good to get used to it quickly.”

“Is it better for them?”

“Sure. Because mortals name everything they cannot understand. Those who don’t try to understand it are usually broken. So this is the shield they unconsciously use to protect themselves.” Mirang said to Kang Shin-hyuk, then waved his hand at the humans looking up. The humans raised their voices in praise to express their gratitude for him, who was pretending to be a classy nobleman despite fighting so violently moments before.

“Then…” Kang Shin-hyuk raised his head and pointed to Milia, who was still enormous. After Kang Shin-hyuk had stored the venom, she was carrying out other tasks with the water orb- creating lakes and rivers within the cities and further across the world.

“What about her?”

“She will be treated as someone who has risen above the ranks of humanity. Anvil, do you think one who showed such a display today could come down to the position of human again?”

-From today on, there will be clear rain in this world again. That Water Fox will become a creature of wonder to the humans of this world, a goddess of water.

Mirang spoke in a lightly teasing tone, and the administrator added a further explanation.

“That’s…” Kang Shin-hyuk eventually quieted. Wouldn’t that type of existence be too lonely?

“Well, then, can I ask about what I want?”

“Yes. The work will continue.” Kang Shin-hyuk looked up at the image of the goddess who was engaged in the work of creating waterways in the world before smiling bitterly before guiding Mirang into his workshop.

It was deep into the night when Milia finished her work. As a bonus, Onyx had returned safely with all the soldiers.
