Revealing Hyun’s Forge was inevitable.
The Guild Bright Future, which had gathered, would attract public attention, and people would follow its path.
Therefore, Hyun-soo made a choice.
‘Hyun’s Forge is still lacking.’
But with the broadcast being watched by 1.8 million viewers.
‘This broadcast will fill the gaps of Hyun’s Forge.’
The attack power of the greatsword Twin Dragon Sword is 200 points higher than that of the Supreme Sword.
Furthermore, a greatsword can exert the power of two to three swings of a longsword in one swing.
What a longsword cannot cut, a greatsword can cut easily.
Additionally, percentage damage attacks from a base high attack power exceed common sense.
[Temporarily equal to the Sword King.]
[Cry of the Sword]
[Cut down enemies 100% faster.]
[Cut down all enemies recognized as enemies with 380% additional damage indiscriminately.]
[Even if not directly cut, all enemies within a 40-meter radius are cut, ignoring all defense.]
For three seconds, the giant ants were immobilized by the overwhelming pressure.
The viewers captured him drawing the greatsword back from the sky.
-Hyung, I’m a fan from today! Hyung, I’m a fan from today! Hyung, I’m a fan from today!
-Let’s go!
Finally, he strikes down.
The greatest swordsmanship in the world.
Additionally, when Hyun’s Forge, or talents, or knights struck down the giant ants, the damage numbers were typically like this.
[You have dealt 11,037 damage.]
But for Hyun-soo, it was different.
Slaaash-!
The first blade crushed the giant ant.
[You have dealt 58,313 damage.]
And soon, dozens of blades within a 40-meter radius moved 50% faster than usual.
Sgagagagagagagagak-!
The viewers could not believe it.
Damage numbers appeared above the ants’ heads too quickly.
[You have dealt 54,813 damage.]
[You have dealt 56,999 damage.]
The screen was filled with damage markers.
And the swarm of seventy ants dispersed.
The most astonishing thing for the world was this.
“A level 330 is doing that to a level 460 boss monster?”
Whooosh-
All the ants turned to a handful of ash and scattered, and at the center was Helena, being cut and torn indiscriminately.
“Kyahhhh!”
[Helena’s HP falls below 90%.]
[Helena’s HP falls below 85%.]
[Helena’s HP falls below 80%.]
Additionally, the world enjoyed it.
Watching a boss monster that they could not yet hunt.
And a named monster they might never encounter in their lifetime being hunted.
Ultimately, viewers watched the broadcast for vicarious satisfaction.
Moreover, if the protagonist of the broadcast was a user at level 330, reachable by ordinary users, they would be even more enthusiastic and pleased.
This is proven by a single figure.
[There are too many mission notifications.]
[There are too many donation notifications.]
[Chatting will be temporarily disabled.]
Too many donations and mission proposals for hunting Helena.
Yes, today’s Hyun’s Forge may be insignificant, but tomorrow’s Hyun’s Forge will be different.
However, Hyun-soo knew one clear fact.
[First Calamity Helena Lv.467]
Helena currently possessed the power equivalent to eight monster levels.
[Helena’s HP falls below 50%.]
The most powerful strike in the world.
And the exquisite power of the Cry of the Sword that ignores all defenses.
It was true that this power had driven her to such an extent.
But.
Zzzt—
Hyun-soo felt it keenly on his skin.
It was the difference in level between him and Helena.
No matter how good the sword Hyun-soo held and how high his stats were for his level.
‘The level difference between Helena and me is over 130.’
It was different from the time with Grout.
Back then, there were variables like Barad and Ben.
The moment the power of the Cry of the Sword ended, Helena, who had been slashed all over, glared at him with an angry expression.
“Pathetic.”
The creepy ant eyes looked at Hyun-soo.
Hyun-soo was certain.
‘I cannot defeat Helena alone.’
But Hyun-soo had the Twin Dragon Sword.
The moment Hyun-soo gripped the Twin Dragon Sword tightly, new characters were inscribed on the giant blade.
[Geumsinjeonseon (今臣戰船)]
[Even now, the minister has.]
[Sangyusipil (尙有十二)]
[Twelve ships left.]
[……Activated.]
No immediate power arose.
And Hyun-soo, who was infusing power into the sword, was bewildered.
‘What the……?’
In a split second.
Helena disappeared from Hyun-soo’s sight.
“Arrogant one.”
Hyun-soo felt a chill down his spine.
‘Wasn’t she a summoner?’
Helena was known to primarily summon insects as a summoner.
That was a misconception.
The reason Helena mainly summoned insects was that she didn’t have to reveal her true form as the queen ant.
Originally at the 430 level, Helena had devoured Rogal to reach the 460 level.
And by devouring Rogal, various aspects, including her stats, were recreated.
Whoooosh—!
Hyun-soo quickly turned and aimed for Helena’s neck with the Twin Dragon Sword.
But.
Thump—
Hyun-soo’s eyes wavered.
Helena effortlessly grabbed the blade with one hand.
Hyun-soo was astonished by two things.
‘What strength is this……?’
Secondly.
‘It didn’t cut?’
A swinging sword cannot be caught just because one wants to.
Especially a thick and strong blade like that of the Twin Dragon Sword.
There is only one condition under which this is possible.
‘When one possesses overwhelming strength.’
Slashslashslash—
A fierce battle unfolded.
Hyun-soo, holding the Twin Dragon Sword, clashed with Helena’s spear, which was tipped with poison.
‘Speed, strength, skill. Everything about her overwhelms me.’
Hyun-soo realized.
‘I am now…’
It’s no different from fighting the Sword King.
“Die.”
[Ant’s Claw]
Eight ant legs appeared around Hyun-soo and struck him down.
Crash—
[HP falls below 93%.]
The damage was beyond common sense.
“Ugh!”
Additional hits followed.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam—!
[HP falls below 50%.]
[You are affected by the bleeding status.]
[Your vision becomes blurry and it’s hard to keep your balance.]
However, Hyun-soo did not just take the hits.
Whooosh—
Raging power surged into Hyun-soo’s descending sword.
[Rampaging Sword]
[The base attack power of the sword increases by 231% with a 40% probability.]
[Lasts for 15 seconds.]
Helena, falling backward, attempted to impale Hyun-soo with her spear.
But Hyun-soo executed Calamity Leap first, gaining freedom in mid-air.
Hyun-soo and Helena locked eyes as they fell.
Helena’s eyes wavered.
All humans are affected by status ailments if they receive a strong enough impact.
These status ailments make it difficult to maintain balance and clear vision.
Yet Hyun-soo, in mid-air, slashed at her.
Slaaash—
[9 consecutive damage]
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!
Helena’s HP decreased.
However, Helena’s defense was beyond the norm.
[You have dealt 21,311 damage.]
The damage inflicted is inversely proportional to the opponent’s defense.
This contrasts with the 50,000 damage dealt to the giant ants.
The fact that it’s only this much, even with Rampaging Sword active, is beyond reason.
“Have you realized now? My advantage lies in my thick carapace.”
“……”
Hyun-soo’s face darkened.
Despite slashing in mid-air, he hadn’t inflicted a major wound on Helena’s body.
Even after nine slashes, Helena’s HP had only decreased by 2%.
“Fear me.”
Falling Helena mocked Hyun-soo.
Helena knew.
There is no one here who can kill her.
[Queen Ant]
[Triple defense is applied.]
When she temporarily abandons her human form and becomes an ant, she becomes a transcendent being.
At that moment, Hyun-soo gritted his teeth.
“Many have said the same as you.”
Hyun-soo’s blood-soaked hair and unyielding eyes, even in a desperate situation, puzzled Helena.
She knew he had killed other calamities.
She didn’t understand.
How could someone like him?
At this moment, she began to understand a bit more.
“Each time, I cut them down.”
He would use this to his advantage.
Hyun-soo is the one who can be free in mid-air.
The essence of Calamity Leap.
Between Helena, who couldn’t keep her balance, and Hyun-soo.
Once to Helena’s neck.
“Kiyaaah!”
Twice.
“Kiyaaaah!”
Three times.
“You bastard!”
Four slashes.
Thud—
Both fell simultaneously.
Helena felt relieved as her high defense protected her neck.
If her defense weren’t transcendent, it would have been cut.
‘This guy is dangerous.’
She understood why the calamities had died.
Crash—
Helena attacked furiously.
Hyun-soo, whose vision was already blurry, found it difficult to respond.
[You are holding Asnum.]
[HP falls below 10%.]
[HP recovers to 15%.]
Helena saw the end.
Whooosh—
She thrust her spear with all her strength, aiming for his throat.
At that moment, Hyun-soo grabbed the spear shaft with both hands.
A powerful force extended towards Hyun-soo’s throat.
Then, the sound of Helena’s grip weakening was heard.
“…Use the return scroll!”
It was Barad’s voice. His urgent voice came from beyond the barrier as he watched the scene.
Helena laughed.
“Kahahahaha!”
The difference in strength.
The difference in level.
Everything seemed so unreachable now.
Barad’s urgent words meant abandoning the 600 nobles inside and retreating.
A battle that seemed certain to be lost.
In it, he didn’t want Hyun-soo to die.
Of course, Hyun-soo would revive if he died.
But Hyun-soo said.
“I’ve won.”
Helena’s laughter stopped.
What nonsense is he talking?
Has he gone mad?
At that moment.
Chill—
Helena felt an overwhelming power from behind her.
And Hyun-soo, looking at Barad beyond the barrier, said.
“I still have one ship left.”
When she turned her head, Helena was astonished.
An archer stood there.
Whoosh—
Flames shot up to the sky from the bow held by the archer.
The soaring flames soon turned into white flowers, then settled back into his bow.
[A legend of the Divine Archer is being written.]
***
[Queen’s Roar]
[Paralyzes intelligence.]
[You are afflicted with the Fear status ailment.]
[You are afflicted with the Overwhelm status ailment.]
The members of Hyun’s Forge were stricken with status ailments, making movement difficult.
All they could do was protect the nobles.
Among them was Ian, bleeding from his eyes, ears, and nose.
-Ian, what are you doing? LOL
-The guy who lost his rank 1, haha
-You got rejected by the Hwarang Guild, and now you’re doing this?
-LMAO, no more three visits for you, huh?
Ian, whose HP had fallen below 20%, felt bitter.
‘I want to fight like Hyun-soo.’
Ian had indeed grown much stronger compared to his past.
But it was not enough against Helena.
Moreover, the viewers’ derisive comments triggered his trauma.
The fact that he could do nothing made Ian clench his fists tightly.
At that moment.
[Geumsinjeonseon Sangyusibi (今臣戰船 尙有十二.)]
[The power of the Twin Dragon Sword imbues you.]
[You are the twelve indomitable ships.]
The hero from the undefeated legend was most gloriously recorded.
However, people don’t just see Admiral Yi Sun-sin alone in that record.
The twelve ships he led.
It was because of them that the future Admiral Yi existed.
Ian was astonished.
Fwoosh—
Because minerals and branches were springing up over his head.
[The power of Guild Master Hyun-soo imbues you.]
[The power of the skill Counter (反) is applied.]
Ian saw what was forming in the sky.
They were minerals and tree branches.
Hyun-soo was smart and understood Ares.
The reason Hyun-soo sold Jumong’s Composite Bow to Ian.
The bowstring Ian pulled was two, three, four times stronger than the one Hyun-soo pulled.
No matter how many days and nights Hyun-soo spent crafting bows to increase his bow mastery, it couldn’t match the arrows of Ian, who had Mastery+9 in Composite Bows.
To this strongest archer, he attached the Gauntlet of Power.
Click—
In his hand, he grasped the Orichalcum arrow Hyun-soo had been crafting.
Click—
The pinnacle arrow imbued within it maximized its power.
Stepping forward, Ian drew the bowstring.
Hyun-soo didn’t possess this, but Ian did.
Once ranked number one.
Now, an unrivaled archer.
Perhaps the future number one archer in the world, holding a skill.
[Great]
[Your single arrow temporarily transcends its usual damage.]
Compared to Hyun-soo’s trinity, it was immensely grand.
Rumble—
The flames soaring into the sky turned white and imbued the arrow.
-What’s going on?
-This is insane!
-…?
The viewers who had mocked Ian just moments ago were now bewildered.
The usual trinity arrows Hyun-soo shot originated from his smithing.
However.
This was a single arrow drawn by the number one ranked archer.
Whoooosh—
[It far surpasses the strongest single shot.]
Admiral Yi had twelve ships.
The twelve ships that sailed through the seas protected him and the nation.
Today, Ian becomes a Turtle Ship.
Twang—
The true shot was fired.
[Damage cannot be measured.]
With an astonishing notification.
[A legend of the Divine Archer is being written.]
The world was in shock.
