Dimensional-end Blacksmith.
Servan Di Derkaile.
The blacksmith Constellation who crafted my equipment, ‘Derkael’s Immortality’ and the ‘Immortal Longsword.’
Well, I only use the Immortal Longsword now and wear the Dragon Slayer’s Millennium Armor, so I don’t use Derkael’s Immortality…
But I was very grateful to him.
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ asks the Constellation ‘Dimensional-end Blacksmith’ for permission to share a simple profile for explanation.]
[The Constellation, ‘Dimensional-end Blacksmith’ replies that he doesn’t mind.]
[The basic profile of the Constellation, ‘Dimensional-end Blacksmith’ is shared.]
+++
Constellation Name – Dimensional-end Blacksmith
True Name – Servan Di Derkaile
Grade (Class) – Legend
Description – A blacksmith from a planet at the end of a dimension.
An outstanding master craftsman, ranking within the top ten even when all Constellations are combined.
Although his planet was destroyed and he lost his place to go, his faith is small and unobtained, his skills, character, and weapons have not disappeared.
+++
‘He was indeed an amazing Constellation.’
Legend grade.
My Constellation is Myth grade, but that’s because I’m a special case; all Myth-grade Constellations have World Masters in the top 10 as their backers.
Legend grade means he’s top-tier among those excluding them.
“Um, are you a Legend-grade Constellation?”
The student in front of me must have seen the System window too, as her eyes widened in surprise.
Hmm… wait, what was her name again?
Thinking that, I looked at her name tag.
“Constellation-nim, are you thinking of contracting with Ha Seon-woo?”
As I said that, looking at the student, no, Ha Seon-woo, the System window reappeared shortly after.
[The Constellation, ‘Dimensional-end Blacksmith’ checks the potential of the Hunter, ‘Ha Seon-woo’ and expresses admiration.]
[The Constellation, ‘Dimensional-end Blacksmith’ proposes an Incarnation Contract to the Hunter, ‘Ha Seon-woo’.]
He must be very talented.
No, of course, he reached C-rank at that age.
If he grabbed any heroic Constellation, he could roughly reach B+, or even A- if he did really well.
But such a kid met a Legend-grade Constellation, so he’ll be rampaging like a fish in water.
‘I should get a favor later.’
Should I ask him to take a look at a few artifacts?
I feel bad for constantly asking the Constellation-nim.
While I was thinking that, the Incarnation Contract between Ha Seon-woo and Derkaile ended.
[The Constellation, ‘Dimensional-end Blacksmith’ leaves the channel.]
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ is furious that he only took the Incarnation and left.]
After that, the Constellation-nim kept ranting, but I ignored it all and watched Ha Seon-woo.
His gaze is towards me, but he must be seeing a waterfall of System windows that I can’t see.
And soon after, something was suddenly in Ha Seon-woo’s hand.
It was a sleek-looking forging hammer in black.
It was inlaid with gold and showed traces of time, but it still showed off its sturdiness.
And in the opposite hand was a glove.
A pair of gloves, black and decorated with gold, looked like a set with the hammer.
Is that a basic item?
“Wow…”
Ha Seon-woo opened his mouth, marveling as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Is there anything else you received through the System besides this? Like skills or titles.”
“Ah. Just, just a moment.”
Ha Seon-woo checked the System window and read it out.
“I received a B-grade title called Blacksmith of Patience… an A+ grade skill called Supreme Metallurgy, and an A-grade Appraisal Eye.”
“Ho…..”
Hmm.
It seems that Derkaile-nim is a pushover like our Constellation-nim.
No, is it because he’s a pushover that they’re similar?
Either way, it’s really good for me and Ha Seon-woo.
“So, you… no, what’s your name?”
After sending Ha Seon-woo away first because he had to register his Constellation and do other things.
Black, shaggy hair.
I spoke to the student who introduced herself as being in the alchemy field.
I knew Ha Seon-woo’s name because I saw his name tag earlier, but she’s covering hers.
“Shin Jin-ah… is my name.”
Shin Jin-ah?
‘I think I’ve heard of her somewhere.’
Unlike Ha Seon-woo, whom I’ve never heard of, I’ve heard the name Shin Jin-ah quite a lot.
Where was it…. that…
Ah!
“Shin Ara’s younger sister!”
Ranked 2nd in Korea and 9th in the world.
A genius among geniuses who reached the position of World Master, the best in the world, at the young age of 27.
The best archer who shows talent beyond talent and will never exist again in the world.
Shin Jin-ah is the younger sister of Shin Ara of the Divine Bow Clan.
“That’s right. By the way, do you know my sister?”
As expected, Jin-ah affirmed and asked her back.
“Well… I haven’t seen her in person, but I know of her existence since we’re in the same association.”
I just realized that the subtle fear she had towards me earlier has disappeared.
Maybe it’s because of what I did to Ha Seon-woo earlier, and also because of her closeness to her sister.
‘By the way, a 17-year-old younger sister means there’s a 10-year age gap?’
The head of the Divine Bow Clan, Shin Ara’s family, must still be healthy.
No, he’s retired now and hasn’t entered a gate for a while, so he’s been pushed out of the rankings, but he was a member of the World Masters before.
It’s only natural.
“Alchemy, huh….”
Anyway, putting those thoughts aside, I thought about the peculiarity of this situation.
As I said before, Shin Jin-ah is a member of the Divine Bow Clan.
But why is she doing alchemy instead of archery?
In this Hunter society, the numerous clans that exist as family units, not just families, are strict about their children’s education.
They want their descendants to inherit their power.
‘The Divine Bow Clan is an exception, was it?’
But the Divine Bow Clan doesn’t do that.
Their children all grew up on their own, and they already have Shin Ara, who is arguably more talented than them, so they don’t interfere much with their other children.
That’s why Shin Jin-ah can major in alchemy.
After roughly sorting out the situation, Ha-yeon asked the Constellation-nim.
“Constellation-nim, can you do something about this student too?”
Asking if she can bring a Constellation.
The System window appeared without hesitation.
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ tells you not to worry and shows off his sociability.]
[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ invites the Constellation, ‘Golden Magician’ to this channel.]
‘Golden Magician?’
I’ve never heard of this Constellation either.
No, our Constellation-nim knows a lot of Constellations, but they’re all unknown Constellations.
But those Constellations are all amazing.
That Constellation must also be an outstanding Constellation.
[The Constellation, ‘Golden Magician’ looks down at the Hunter, ‘Shin Jin-ah’ with a languid gaze.]
“…..”
Shin Jin-ah straightened her back and looked at the air.
She must have felt the Constellation’s gaze.
[The Constellation, ‘Golden Magician’ says that she has quite a bit of talent and reveals his True Name and a brief profile to the Hunter, ‘Shin Jin-ah’ and proposes a contract.]
This person is revealing his True Name too.
Wasn’t the True Name important to Constellations?!
[The Constellation, ‘Golden Magician’ reveals his True Name, ‘Midas’.]
The king who obtained the ability to turn everything he touched into gold from Dionysus, a god of Olympus.
According to tradition, he even turned his daughter into gold and destroyed himself, and Dionysus took back that ability, ending it.
But that myth was famously passed down, and the dead King Midas became a Constellation by possessing that power as a skill.
But I didn’t know which Constellation was Midas, but I found out here.
‘Midas is famous in alchemy.’
Turns everything into gold.
Considering that the easiest way to think of alchemy is to turn stones into gold, it’s bound to be famous in the field of alchemy.
Moreover, this profile.
+++
Constellation Name – Golden Magician
True Name – Midas
Grade (Class) – Legend
Description – In the past, he was the king of a country and a priest who served Dionysus.
He used the golden power he received from Dionysus at will and even turned his precious things into gold, but everything returned thanks to Dionysus’s mercy.
A special case who died as a human and rose to the position of Constellation with faith alone thanks to various beliefs.
+++
It’s also a Legend grade.
My expectations were not wrong, our Constellation-nim is definitely a king of connections.
“So, are you going to contract?”
When I asked Shin Jin-ah, she cleared her dazed face and answered immediately.
“Of course!”
“This side is over now…..”
Shin Jin-ah, who contracted with the Golden Magician, was also sent out due to various procedures.
The B-rank group is practicing properly…..
“Are these crazy bastards….?”
They were just flailing around.
Basic slash.
A downward slash from top to bottom.
It may be similar to a vertical slash in a way, but it’s different.
Because the power contained within is different.
The basic slash is a slash that requires some sense of feeling and should be weaker than the vertical slash.
But those guys were giving too little power.
‘…..Don’t tell me they’re doing the vertical slash?’
No, I don’t even want to imagine it.
Still, they’re S-class, so it can’t be that bad, right?
“What are you guys doing right now?”
When I asked them with a slightly hardened face, the expression of the male student who was practicing at the front stiffened.
“We’re doing the vertical slash!”
……No, these crazy people.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Where should I start?
Wait, could it be.
“Then the basic slash and the horizontal slash.”
“We’ve already finished them all!”
“….Huh?”
That can’t be.
I might know, but those guys are still in this posture for the vertical slash, and even if the time I gave them to contract with the Constellation is a bit long, there’s no way they can finish all that amount within that time.
“…You guys! Everyone, do the basic slash once.”
At those words, they all stopped practicing and prepared, and everyone swung their wooden swords forward.
Well… the basic slash isn’t bad.
“Horizontal slash.”
The problem is the horizontal slash.
Since you have to slash sideways, it takes more strength and you have to control it well.
At her words, the guys took their stance again and swung their wooden swords sideways.
Hmm…. this was the problem.
First of all, some of the guys.
‘There’s no strength at all.’
It feels like they’re just swinging a stick sideways.
And the other guys.
‘They put in too much strength.’
They’re putting in more strength than necessary, putting strain on their arms.
The last remaining guys slashed with appropriate strength.
‘Those guys are B+.’
So, let’s leave those guys out….
“You guys are dead.”
You guys are dead today.
