Chapter 187 Grace of Anvil (4)

Klang! Klang! Klang!

The sound of metal being hammered resonated in the workshop. Now, Kang Shin-hyuk was making the sword for Mirang. It wasn’t possible to find out everything about Mirang in just two days, but his understanding of the flame Mirang had been born with had improved enough to try.

-Resist Fire (SS+) skill proficiency has increased.

The flame that slept at the core of the giant wolf was at the top of a mysterious road. As his understanding of it increased, so too did his resist fire skill. Considering that his skill proficiency grew as much as they had from diving into Tsukuyo’s power just a day ago, he was growing at a very fast pace.

-Eunah’s whisper: I’m at an SS+ level gate now. It’s an erosion type.

-Erosion type… they’re increasing. Is it a full-fledged war now?

As he worked, he used the whisper system to converse with his friends. Today’s conversation partner was Eunah. No, rather, half the time, it was Eunah.

-Eunah’s whisper: I was sure it would be like this one day.

-Yeah, but this timing is too complicated.

It took a while for answers to come back as the flow of time was different between their worlds, but given he was working, that was just

fine.

-Eunah’s whisper: Yes… I’m glad my junior grew up before things got harder.

-Eunah’s whisper: Even if you were weak, I would always stay by your side to protect you!

He was suddenly glad he had grown as fast as he did.

-Eunah’s whisper: Like my junior, I have to become stronger as fast as possible.

-Eunah’s whisper: At least strong enough to roast her with electricity…

Huh?

Goosebumps formed on his arms. The time it took for her next response felt like an eternity.

-Eunah’s whisper: It may be hard for you to suffer from strange women, but be patient. I will save my junior.

-No, wait a minute. What strange woman?

-Eunah’s whisper: That woman, Tsukuyo.

Kang Shin-hyuk’s rhythmic hammering stopped halfway in fear. It was only a message, but he could practically hear the cold voice of Eunah, the Ice Princess, whisper in his ear like a blizzard.

-Eunah’s whisper: She’s talking very proudly on the free bulletin board. Even with wolf uncle…

That probably meant Mirang. He wasn’t aware she was so close to Mirang.

-Eunah’s whisper: And that new one named Water Fox. Isn’t she a member of the world you’ve been to? She’s also suspicious.

He wanted to erase the message and pretend he hadn’t seen any of them, but they kept appearing.

-Eunah’s whisper: My junior is still underage. If I become stronger and protect my junior…

-Well… you can rest assured. I can protect myself.

-Eunah’s whisper: No, it seems that my grandpa and my junior doesn’t know these people well. They put their feelings first and push you around.

Well, he did have that experience of having his first kiss stolen by Tsukuyo, so she wasn’t entirely wrong. Of course, he couldn’t tell Eunah that, lest she challenged Tsukuyo.

-Eunah’s whisper: So, we have to protect you. Until then, I’ll practice hard.

-Cheer up.

-Eunah’s whisper: I feel refreshed. I won’t tire out for the next 100 years.

-I’ll be okay.

-Eunah’s whisper: I will protect you. No one will touch you.

So scary! But he couldn’t tackle it right now. When dealing with Shin Eunah, he needed to be cautious and careful, like crafting glass.

-Shall I handle it?

“No, that’s fine. Rather, I would like to check the freeboard right now.”

-I think it would be better not to.

At that, it seemed he really had to check it. He accessed the free bulletin board, immediately finding the post that Tsukuyo had posted. The title?

[Tsukuyo – Please pay attention to those who haven’t met Anvil yet.]

“This woman is very good at aggravating people…” The text contained proud statements about Anvil, Kang Shin-hyuk, exaggerated descriptions, and false records. Halo had commented that Anvil was on a long-term quest in his world, and Mirang had chimed in with a few comments showing off that he was also with Anvil. There were some members who were complimenting his work, complaining that Tsukuyo was with him, or complaining that he wasn’t accepting requests. There were some new members there, as well.

[Water Fox – I am a new member that awakened thanks to Anvil. I want to say hello to my seniors.]

And then there was a misguided new recruit.

[Loki – You awakened thanks to Anvil? What are you talking about? Are you a blacksmith too? Rather, where’s Janus?]

[Storm Confucius – I haven’t seen him these days. Was he beaten?]

[Rocky – He’s 100 times stronger than you, no way. ]

[Miyang – Hey, newcomer, is Anvil next to you? Please tell him. I’m the only one who doesn’t have an Anvil-made weapon.]

[Super Ultra Galaxy Fist – Anvil is doing a dimensional quest now? When will he make me some gloves?]

[Ascaldin – No, now Anvil made a new member of the Hero Universe?]

[Water Fox – I can’t explain in detail… but thanks to his ability, I was able to strengthen my resolve.]

Fortunately, Milia made no further mistakes. However, Tsukuyo continued to message.

[Tsukuyo – That’s not new. However, I hope there will be no misunderstandings. He is just so kind and generous that he gives equally to everyone; it is by no means love. ]

[Miyang – Isn’t it the same for you?]

Tsukuyo didn’t reply to that comment. Instead, other members continued to reply as if praying for blessings, and Milia continued to comment herself.

[Water Fox – Anvil is a good person. He is the benefactor of our world; there will be nothing to bother him.]

[Tsukuyo – I hope so because he already has a lot to deal with. There is no need for him to carry a new load.]

[Eunah – The heaviest one is there.]

[Halo – Haha, Anvil’s favorite is Eunah. ]

[Bartender – So he’s there with you..]

Kang Shin-hyuk froze at the most recent comment. It should be okay. He thought about sending Claire a message but eventually gave up. Wouldn’t she only become more anxious if he did? She now knew that Tsukuyo had come to him, so it would be better to talk to her in person.

“Hah, what pointless troubles.”

-But now it is better than before, member.

“Is that so?” Kang Shin-hyuk laughed at the administrator’s message.

-Didn’t you receive a guarantee that Janus is safe?

“I did.”

-There has always been antagonism between members. Moreover, Janus is one of the elder members who has been in the Hero Universe for a long time. So you don’t need to worry too much.

“… That’s the way it is.” He had received a report from Tsukuyo about Janus’s current situation earlier. Specifically, Tsukuyo said she had fought with him in the world she visited.

– Maybe the fox attacked him because he was unlucky. The fox…

The administrator was seriously discussing why Tsukuyo had to die. Thanks to it, however, Kang Shin-hyuk’s mood had lightened. He didn’t want to fight Janus; he just wanted to know if he was alive. He believed that one day he would be able to whisper with him again.

“Then, let’s finish the sword for Mirang.”

-I’m looking forward to it.

The metal he was working on right now was a silver metal that sparkled more brilliantly than snow hit by the sun. It was Mirang’s claws. Even with Kang Shin-hyuk’s developed emotional skill, it was impossible to measure the quality of it. After observing and understanding the origin of the claws’ owner, Mirang, it became possible for him to process it. With a little help, it could be processed.

“I wish I could take that magical flame back with me.” Kang Shin-hyuk admired the wolf’s flame burning like a ruby inside the furnace. He had gained a deeper understanding of fire by exploring the origin of Mirang and Tsukuyo, so he could tell the flame was half-alive. It burned at the perfect temperature, and the powerful magical and spiritual power emanating from it aided in the forging process.

– Please ask.

“It’s really scary because I think he might agree.”

Klang! Klang! Klang!

Thanks to it, the process was easier than he had been worried about. Of course, if his spiritual power were even slightly insufficient, it wouldn’t have been possible.

‘Tsukuyo’s iron fan is next.’ After that, it would be producing weapons for the soldiers of Ord. Kang Shin-yuk suddenly remembered Tsukuyo’s comment that he had seen on the bulletin board. She had commented about the burdens he was carrying and how more weight wouldn’t be possible. Maybe Milia would notice it herself.

‘If she refuses, I’ll still make it.’ Right, how about making a special weapon for Milia? Knowing that Kang Shin-hyuk had been commissioned by Mirang and Tsukuyo, she had been hiding her envy.

“Okay, let’s make it.’ Kang Shin-hyuk completely pushed aside his worries about Janus and instead agonized over what he would make for Milia.

He was still too naïve.
