Academy Genius Craftsman

07. Eldoras (11)

To be honest, I felt a lot of regret while making the gunblade.

It is true that my heart was moved by a new attempt that I had never tried before. However, I feel sorry for Yuna, who commissioned the production, but it is true that it is not enough to say that it is a masterpiece that I poured all my craftsmanship into.

The gunblade that Yuna wanted from me is a product to be sold under Klaproth’s name. In other words, from the initial stage, not only the performance of the weapon, but also the production period and cost-effectiveness had to be considered.

It’s hard to say that it was a weapon suitable for my goal of creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Even after completing the prototype, I was always in my mind. Can I really say that I did the best I could with this weapon?

A weapon to try for the first time. Collaboration for the first time. This was a satisfactory result, but is ‘moderately good’ really what I want?

It wasn’t. There was no compromise or satisfaction on the path of an artisan. I had to be greedy. Even if I had a lot of greed to make a better and more perfect weapon, what was not enough was the path toward the goal I had hoped for.

So I asked Yuna for a favor. Would it be okay if I had the prototype for a while?

All the data for product production was selected anyway, so she readily agreed, and I continued to touch the gunblade for a while after that. Staying up all night until the day of submission of the actual article.

I didn’t have a chance to return it, so I had it, -I forgot to deliver it when we met earlier- Fortunately, I was able to return it like this today.

“Binary!? How do you know… !”

Yuna seemed surprised once by my sudden appearance and twice by my holding the gunblade, but it was not a good time for her to leisurely say hello. Perhaps Yuna felt the same way, instead of immediately asking me something, she looked straight ahead and prepared for battle.

“For now, can we assume that we are here to help?”

“Of course not.”

For that reason, it was carried like a burden on Seohee’s shoulders.

‘Oh, I’m dizzy.’

Jisoo and I were being carried by Seohee – it was an inevitable choice since we couldn’t even move around in the tower – Young was not in good shape, but I adjusted my posture by shaking her head lightly and focused on my surroundings. Fortunately, no one seemed to have died yet within visible range.

Should I pull out the three-man sword? No, if you’re aiming for a surprise attack with your own skill, an anti-horse special weapon against a human who is not a monster, and even a high-ranking hunter, would not be a good choice.

I took out my exclusive weapon, ‘Magic Break’, from the subspace of Jisoo. On the outside, it doesn’t look much different from a blacksmith’s hand hammer, but after using it usefully in the event of terrorism at a fair that has not yet been named, several functions have been added.

Seo-hee also pulled out a golden egg and emitted a golden electric light that felt like a trademark now, and Ji-su also stepped back and took out a cane. The ‘Awakening’ that Jisoo used during the test sparring could not be used at any time because of the severe aftereffects, but it would be of considerable help just by a high-level magic hunter concentrating on assisting.

At the sudden appearance of reinforcements, the allies seemed to be taken aback but welcomed them, and Manma-ryun looked wary as if they recognized us, to be exact, Seo-hee, who was wrapped in a flashing current.

“Yoon Seo-hee… Aren’t you the girl who defeated Namgoong Min?”

“He’s a guy who will get in the way of the grand scheme of 10,000. Kill me here!”

A couple of elite members who were dealing with lower guild members fell out of the ranks and rushed at Seo-hee. Even in the middle of a lot of talented people rushing at her, Seo-hee didn’t look nervous at all.

Hardly, considering Yoon Seo-hee’s skills right now, even 10,000 elite members were nothing.

“If you can… Have you tried it!”

Kwurreung!!

Lightning struck the dry sky.

The Viscount!! With her thunder ripping through her ears and driving around with thunderbolts and wielding her sword, Yoon Seo-hee looked like a mythical god of lightning. The chaste aura emanating from the mighty mana that made her skin tingle just by being close to her, was not at the level that Man Yeo-ri, who possessed demonic energy and possessed incomparable magical power, could not match.

“Crazy, what magic!”

“Don’t confront me head-on! Two more stick together!”

In an instant, two more came together, and only after all four came together, the match was somewhat balanced. However, even in the midst of dealing with four people at once, Seo-hee was overwhelmingly unable to push, and did not seem too dangerous.

And Seohee wasn’t the only one here.

I swung the hammer at the elite group of 10,000 who were aiming for my neck. ‘Magical Break’ and ‘Blood Sacrifice’ collided in the air and zeng! A rustling sound rang out.

Magical Break Unique Skill

Strike (鋼擊)

“Gagging… !”

I only bumped my weapon, but it was Mann-Ryeon who threw up blood and fell. This is because the magic reaction stone that pushes away the mana impacts the mana contained in the opponent’s weapon and shocks the inside.

It managed to control the shaken circuit and backed away, but I wasn’t the one watching it.

[Left! Be careful!]

“Kuu!”

At the moment he was about to deliver a follow-up blow to Manma-ryun, who showed a gap, an invisible blade flew from the left. Stealth and swiftness that would not have reacted if it had not been for Kertatus’ warning. The strong wind created by magical power turned into a sharp blade and aimed at me, but instead of avoiding it, I swung my hammer at the wind instead.

Puong! As the hammer and the wind collided, the blade wind became a breeze that tickled my hair.

“What is that… What are my skills?”

Another elite group of 10,000 warriors who were trying to save a colleague in danger looked at me with a rare expression of bewilderment.

This is why I gave the hammer the name ‘Magical Break’. It had the effect of smashing and destroying all skills and magic at a certain level of magic.

I wonder if the one downside is that you can’t receive any positive magic effects while holding it in your hand. However, considering the effectiveness of this hammer, it was an insignificant drawback.

Unfortunately, the delay I was trying to finish was somewhat helpful, but I was recovering and preparing my posture before I knew it. Unlike a moment ago, I thought that it would be difficult to have fun with the way I was extremely wary of my hammer.

I would have done it if only I was here. But behind me was a future regressor and wizard girl who had experienced countless battles.

Wheeing! Unlike the bladed wind just before, a cool wind blew around as if it would freeze even your breath. However, the fierce north wind did not affect me or the others in any way, freezing thousands of clothes and the ground beneath my feet.

“Kuk, this!”

“Damn it! You can’t move properly… !”

That wasn’t even a ritual magic or skill learned at the academy. A secret technique unique to the witch clan that has been exploring mysteries and accumulating knowledge since before Outbreak. Adding a high level of magic control to that mysterious magic, they couldn’t resist properly and gradually froze.

But they are all class A criminals. Even magic that had never been heard of before could be dealt with sufficiently if it had excellent anti-magic power. People who ignorantly removed the ice clinging to their bodies by force or resisted the cold with magical powers were seen everywhere.

That alone created a huge gap. While they were busy dealing with the ice, I swung my hammer aiming at the body of the closest guy.

“Kuu!”

Boom! Unfortunately, the guy narrowly avoided the hammer, perhaps because of his lack of speed, but couldn’t avoid the barrage of arrows that followed.

Pabababak!

“Quaaa!!”

In an instant, the 10,000-strong elite team collapsed on the floor without knowing whether they were dead or alive. I immediately recognized who had shot the bow at the sight of the familiar arrow.

“Jin Lee. Are we meeting again?”

“Im Ah-ran Hunter!”

Im Ah-ran, who flew by my side in an instant, pulled out an arrow from the fallen man and put it back into the quiver. On the other side, Sang-woo Sang-wu, carrying a shield split in half in one hand, approached with a big smile.

“I thought it was a familiar face, but it was you! Ha ha! I am very happy with this!”

“Nice to meet you too. I never expected to see you two here.”

“Somehow, I got a good offer, so that’s what happened. I wondered if I just got it… After all, there’s no law that says people just die!”

“What are you talking about, Sang-woo? This isn’t the guild leader’s fault. If you have time to talk nonsense, swing that shield more.”

“Write, okay. Okay.”

“Then, Lee Jin-kun. Like last time, please take good care of me today?”

Im Ah-ran fled across the battlefield wielding his shield like a weapon in both hands, and Lim A-ran winked at me lightly, then strung his bow and leaped onto the roof.

Hmm. Anyway, the time has come.

Kam Sang-woo and Im Ah-ran are hunters you can trust and rely on, not to mention Seo-hee and Ji-soo. But the person I was most looking forward to in this battle was none other than the blonde girl. He is the one who is obviously weaker than anyone else in this position based on his physical ability.

“Wait! Now wait! What’s this!”

Suddenly, a dazzling group of lights began to slowly illuminate the surroundings from behind. Then, I realized that the time I had been waiting for had finally arrived at the tremendous magical response that I felt behind my back.

“Oh, wow! Everyone avoid!”

Flash!!

The light became so strong as if it exploded, and then it was dyed so white that it was impossible to see in front of my eyes. And the ensuing flame.

Kwaguawang―!!!!

A huge explosion that makes your ears go blank. They said that if the sound is too loud, you can’t hear anything, so I looked around with my eyes slowly starting to open with a loud tinnitus.

I see.

The mansion, once a safe haven on the lower floors, was split in half. No, would it be correct to say that half of it evaporated? Looking at the traces of the tremendous destruction, Yuna shouted with a devastated expression.

“Lee, Lee Jin… What the hell did you make!?”
