Hyun-soo also loved stories of heroes.
Greek and Roman mythology.
A hero named Hercules was very appealing.
Especially Hercules, who had swept away the giants threatening Olympus with just a club, looked too cool.
That’s why he had carved various trees for a month.
He was already familiar with making clubs; it was just to create something as close as possible to Hercules’s club.
Hyun-soo was confident.
He must have made at least a hundred.
Of course, the source of Hercules’s strength was not the club.
It simply inspired Hyun-soo.
‘A club that could momentarily give the power of Hercules, the god of strength.’
The Giant King’s regeneration against sharp weapons increases by 300%.
However, the club belongs to the category of blunt weapons and is irrelevant to this.
Therefore, he thought it might cover the mentioned regeneration part that the soldier had talked about.
Thus, he urgently crafted it using special production methods.
Although Hercules was not strong because of the club, it could momentarily make him feel like Hercules.
Custom-made, urgently produced with an effective application rate.
He eventually varies by the highest understanding of artifacts and the method of production.
Hyun-soo is certain.
He is the only one in this world who can create a club most similar to the one Hercules held.
As a result, it was completed.

(Hercules’s Strength)
Active Skill
Level: None.
Effects:
·You can concentrate the power of all your stats into the club.
·Concentrating your stats will decrease them, but that much power will be focused on the club.
[You can concentrate the power of all your stats into the club.]
However, the skill called Hercules’s Strength has a clear downside.
It burns other stats to temporarily increase strength.
“But I’m different.”
And Hyun-soo had planned all this and made the club from the beginning.
There’s no such thing as a useless stat for Ares.
However, there can exist stats that are not currently needed by the person.
Hyun-soo is, after all, a blacksmith.
Combat professions possess a stat that they could never inherently have, according to mechanical principles.
“Dedicate everything from dexterity.”
[Strength is amplified.]
[Strength is amplified.]
In this battle, dexterity is utterly unnecessary, yet Hyun-soo’s dexterity stat is remarkably high.
“Pour everything fromcharisma.”
The same was true for charisma.
Burning through these two stats altogether amounted to 1,400.
Yet, doing so did not weaken the character in any adverse way.
[Strength increases by 510%.]
Indeed, Hyun-soo had crafted the ultimate weapon perfectly suited for him in that brief moment.
After stopping the Giant King with the monarch’s command, he laughed.
The creature had sent Luke flying all this way.
“Try flying yourself.”
Boom-
As Luke was about to follow the flying creature, he asked a question.
Who is that god?
“The god of strength, Hercules.”
Hyun-soo soared into the sky with all his might, pursuing the creature.
Crash-
[Wolf Leap]
[Instantly leaps up to 30m and lands.]
An active skill imbued in Fenrir’s boots.
“There’s no time.”
Listening to a soldier, Hyun-soo made several predictions.
He couldn’t afford to give the creature even a sliver of leeway.
The Giant King that Hyun-soo had heard about was the most intelligent boss monster he had encountered so far.
Just the fact that it had gone hunting humans was proof enough.
Moreover, as time passed, the creature was regaining its lost strength.
[10 minutes have passed.]
[The Giant King regains its lost strength.]
[Giant King Lv.291]
[The Giant King’s final level is 383.]
The figure sent shivers down his spine.
A higher final level than the previous calamity, Jack.
And on this occasion, neither Lisel nor Bark were present.
If the creature regained all its strength, there was a high chance that even the Arham territory would fall.
“This is the only moment.”
It was the only time to capture the creature.
He had to use its intelligence against it.
The Giant King, having been struck by a club and rolling on the ground, shook its head trying to regain consciousness.
As it got up, it roared at Hyun-soo.
“Kraaaak!”
At that moment, Hyun-soo swung the club again.
Boom-
“Khek!”
[The Giant King’s HP falls below 90%.]
Hyun-soo realized he had encountered another problem.
‘This club, despite its power, barely scratched its HP?’
It meant he had to land at least eighteen more hits.
“There’s no time.”
Boom-!
Boom-!
The greatest fear of boss monsters lies in their unique traits.
While regeneration might be one of its traits, there could be other powers.
Moreover, the creature’s HP pool was six times larger than Hyun-soo’s.
Boom-
Hyun-soo swung again, and the creature crashed to the ground.
The flailing creature soon struck Hyun-soo with a punch.
Boom-
Hyun-soo was sent flying.
[HP falls below 77%.]
Even a blind hit resulted in a loss of over 20% of HP.
Hyun-soo realized.
His club could shave off 5% per hit, while the creature’s fist could remove more than 20% at once.
He could only afford to be hit four times, whereas the creature could afford ten more hits.
Moreover, Hercules’s club was ultimately a product of emergency crafting.
‘Twelve more times.’
Boom-
Boom-
Boom-
‘Eight times.’
Boom
“Kwaaaaang!”
“Six times.”
Then,
“Kraaaaak!”
[The Giant’s Rage.]
[You fall into a state of fear.]
[You are stunned for 3 seconds.]
Hyun-soo’s face was terribly twisted. His body wouldn’t respond.
The giant king, with his eyes narrowed, slowly slammed his fist into the ground.
Kwajajajajak-
A massive shockwave erupted, literally tearing Hyun-soo’s body to shreds.
[HP drops below 60%.]
[HP drops below 40%.]
[HP drops below 10%…]
[HP drops to 0%…]
Hyun-soo’s eyes widened.
It was just the power of one blow.
Of course, it was one of the Giant King’s powerful forces.
And the Giant King laughed, thinking of Hyun-soo crushed like a bug.
He was more insignificant than he thought.
If it weren’t for that club.
But at that moment, Hyun-soo’s body was enveloped in a bright light.
The light was so beautiful that it momentarily stole the Giant King’s sight.
Pa-aaat-
[You possess Asnium.]
[HP has dropped below 10%.]
[HP recovers to 15%.]
One of the reasons Hyun-soo hadn’t made a good artifact with Asnium yet.
It was because Asnium, just by possessing it, had the amazing power to heal itself.
When the Giant King regained his sight lost to the light, he saw three minerals spouting around Hyun-soo.
[Counter (反) is activated.]
[Three artifacts can be made.]
The Giant King realized.
The man he almost killed with one attack was not insignificant.
But he realized one thing as he looked at the club in his hand.
He could exert a bizarre power when he made something.
But then he thought, do I need to fight him now?
Srrrrr-
He realized as he watched the club scatter from his grasp.
Ultimately, these powers are only temporary.
And he felt he could easily tear apart the opponent when he regained his full power.
Let’s flee before it’s completed and return.
“Kukekekekeke!”
The Giant King burst into deep laughter.
Kuhwaang-!
And he soared diagonally up to about 70m, as if piercing the sky.
The Giant King was confident of victory. Just 30 minutes would suffice.
In that time, he would awaken all his powers.
Ultimately, his victory…
“Gotcha.”
The Giant King’s senses were special.
Especially, the Giant King, with highly developed hearing, was puzzled by the unidentified sound.
That moment.
Puhwaaaak-!
Something unidentified pierced through his back and passed by.
“Kuheeeek!”
What pierced through his back was a spear enveloped in light.
The Giant King writhes in pain as he falls.
Conversely,
“Wolf Leap.”
The man soared into the sky.
The Giant King thought to beat down the man who soared up in an instant.
Then he realized.
“……”
Above the sky,
He cannot be free.
Especially, it makes no sense that a being whose balance is destroyed in the sky can attack the enemy.
Conversely, the one who jumped up in a ready posture to attack is different.
The man flying upright and himself falling backward.
Around the man, two swords are formed.
Chilling-
Chills ran down the Giant King’s back. Then, he soon realized.
Wriggle, wriggle
The man was clever and impressive, but his own regenerative ability was far superior.
What had pierced through his back was ultimately just a mere projectile.
His body healed exponentially fast.
Because of this, the Giant King was confident.
That even if the two swords were swung at him, he would be victorious.
***
Hyun-soo, who had soared into the air, locked eyes with the falling Giant King.
The Giant King’s eyes mocked him.
Hyun-soo also understood the meaning of that mockery.
‘Even if I swing the Dragon Sword and the fifth custom-made sword in succession….’
He couldn’t kill the Giant King.
Even if swung in sequence, the Giant King would already be regenerating.
And the moment they both landed on the ground, he would be killed by the Giant King.
However, Hyun-soo’s eyes were still sharp.
‘Even so….’
He would try desperately to kill him.
He didn’t know how to give up.
He wouldn’t be discouraged until the end, even knowing these two swords couldn’t kill the Giant King.
The fame to be gained from killing him, quest rewards, various things.
Especially the Gale Squad that could only be obtained by killing him.
No, maybe if he couldn’t kill the Giant King here, he might not even obtain Khan of the Gale Squad.
Because the Giant King would soon turn the Araham territory into ruins.
Hyun-soo reached out to grasp one of the swords.
That moment.
[It’s a critical moment.]
[The title God Blacksmith shines.]
Hyun-soo’s eyes sparkled.
The title God Blacksmith.
A power that unlocked a strength even Hyun-soo himself didn’t know.
[You discover a hidden function of the Divine Technique Counter (反).]
Hearing that notification, Hyun-soo felt thrilled.
“Kugegegege.”
Hyun-soo’s lips twisted as he captured the Giant King’s mocking figure in his eyes.
“…You’re going to die.”
The Giant King doubted him at those words filled with certainty.
The two swords floating around the man.
He grasped both swords.
Kwaaaaak-
[The hidden function is a 1% chance of wielding two weapons simultaneously.]
He swung down both swords at the same time.
The Giant King’s thoughts froze.
For some reason, his body was rapidly cooling.
Jjejejejejeject-
A dragon descending from the sky forcefully slammed him into the ground.
Kiheeeeeeek-!
Kwaaaaaang
Frozen and struck down by the dragon, the Giant King soon realized he was disintegrating.
Kwoong-!
A thrilling notification reached Hyun-soo, who had belatedly crashed into the ground.
[You have hunted the Giant King.]
