But this kind of appearance and such skillful threatening are definitely not the qualities of a respectable person!
“I’m really not a good person.” Eugene saw through Chun’s thoughts at a glance, took two steps back, and wiped his hand on the table.
"But my dealings with Miss Tsubaki have always been sincere."
hum...
In an instant, enormous black water dragon scales appeared before our eyes!
Oh oh oh!!
It's made of pitch-black material again!
Chun's gaze was instantly captivated!
She instinctively wanted to rush forward to examine the materials, but because Eugene was standing in front of her, she hesitated and dared not go forward.
The dragon's scales, entirely black, resembled a black hole, constantly emitting a massive gravitational pull, drawing the master craftsman's attention.
"You only see them laid out before you, but you have no idea how terrifying the creatures I fought to obtain these materials, do you?"
Eugene's expression remained calm, the ease that had been in his eyes vanished.
He stared directly into Chun's one eye, his tone half self-deprecating and half sarcastic.
"I will fight that desperately, not just for myself, but also for you."
"I?"
Chun's eyes widened and her eyebrows twitched. "You still have the nerve to say that?"
I've given you plenty of free equipment, haven't I?
"What's the point of making a hundred or ten thousand of those ordinary items?"
Eugene made a startling statement.
He casually picked up a weapon, stroking its seemingly gleaming blade, but his expression was one of regret.
"Even if one hones their skills to the highest level, they can never compare to a god."
"I think you understand this very well, don't you?"
Eugene once again grasped the craftsman's psychology, his words striking a chord with Tsubaki.
She is already quite old, and even though she has created countless divine weapons to date, there is still a vast gap between them and the works of her own god.
Divine skill, divine creation, divine craftsmanship.
This is the common goal of craftsmen all over the world, and also their common despair.
The skills of gods who have lived through countless ages are far beyond what mere mortals can compare to.
"Are you thinking of taking a different approach in terms of ingredients?"
Tsubaki seemed to understand Eugene's meaning a little.
But she still shook her head and sighed, "Don't joke around."
"Even if you win, what's the point?"
"The gap in craftsmanship cannot be bridged by such petty tricks."
When the topic of forging came up, Chun's attitude became solemn.
What's the point of using an indestructible weapon to cut through mortal iron created by the gods?
"...Yes, but what I'm striving for isn't just to be stronger than God."
He uttered his long-planned wish, word by word.
That ambition immediately made Chun realize what kind of person she was working with.
"My goal is to create a peerless blade that even the gods cannot replicate."
!!!
God cannot be replicated, unparalleled in the world!
These two prefixes sent shivers down Chun's spine.
She met Eugene's gaze with the most serious expression and look she had ever given him.
In those golden eyes, she could see endless arrogance and conceit.
That's a boast, without a doubt.
It's just wishful thinking on this person's part!
But why is it that when this unrealistic dream echoes in my ears, I become so excited that I can't control myself?
A divine weapon that even God cannot forge, a sharp blade that even God must acknowledge.
What kind of being is it?
Or rather, does such a thing really exist?
about there……
Eugene realized that beneath Chun's calm surface, her heart was already surging with passion.
Having already honed her skills to the highest level in her career, she is now at a level that surpasses all others, both in equipment crafting and in personal understanding.
Above these, perhaps only Hephaestus, the god of fire, and Cubone, the god of construction, are considered.
However, if we're just talking about the present, there are indeed only two of them.
“Miss Chun, I’ve heard that you are also very skilled at forging magic swords.”
Eugene casually summoned a magic sword awarded by the system and handed it to Chun for appraisal.
"Are you confident you can manufacture something of this quality?"
With bright eyes, Chun carefully examined the intricately patterned, exquisitely crafted short sword in her hand, which exuded a strong magical aura.
"Such technology is truly rare."
"However, if I go all out, I am confident that I can create one of the same level."
"Same level, as expected of you."
Eugene smiled and sheathed the demon sword.
With this level of skill, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Well then, since we've come to the topic of the Demon Sword, let's talk about something else entirely."
Eugene narrowed his eyes, observing Chun's reaction.
"As a blacksmith, I must know all about the famous predecessors in history."
"Of course, I chose this profession because I aspire to it!"
Chun listed several masters and craftsmen she admired in one breath, and said that she also had several of their works in her collection.
"But if we really compare them, these people's level is not much higher than yours, or even inferior to yours."
Chun was about to be modest when she was captivated by the name Eugene mentioned.
In the mortal world, there are countless people with exceptional talents.
Among them, there must exist those who transcend the limitations of genius and are worthy of being called prodigies.
In the vast expanse of history, there once lived such a person.
Armed forces named after him are enough to strike fear into the hearts of nations.
The outcome was decided simply by their appearance in public.
No matter how powerful the weapons or the army, they are all easily crushed in its presence.
"The progenitor of the Demon Sword family, the strongest demon sword craftsman in history. Legend has it that with a single swing of his sword, the wind could destroy a city and the fire could boil the sea."
"His surname is Crozzo."
"To this day, a bloodline still remains among your noble family."
"Wilf Crozo, you should be familiar with that name, right?"
181 If God can create children, so can we!
Crozzo's name has appeared several times before.
Because of the demonic sword bloodline bestowed by the immortal spirit, the demonic sword forged by Crozo possessed power akin to a natural disaster.
Although the lineage was broken for many generations, today, a young man has successfully inherited the talent of his ancestors.
Welf Crozet.
A true superstar, hidden among the Hephaestus family.
If he hadn't stubbornly refused to forge a demonic sword for someone, the most popular craftsman in the clan would probably have been someone else.
After all, the skill barrier to using the magic sword is extremely low.
In the original work, even a level 2 Welf, with the help of the Crozo Demon Sword, was able to freeze Gareth, a level 6 peak, for a period of time.
However, in Eugene's opinion, this character was a bit too affected and pretentious.
Born at the pinnacle of society, possessing talents envied by countless others, yet he abandoned them simply because of his willfulness.
Moreover, the reasons given for abandoning it are also very untenable.
I think the Demon Sword is a consumable item that will cause the user to lose their composure, so I want to forge a normal weapon that will not separate from the person.
Please, in Finn's hands, exchanging weapons after each battle is perfectly normal, okay?
Ais's spare for maintaining the Sword of Despair was also a top-notch divine weapon, but it broke after only two uses!
Its durability is even worse than the magic sword!
The most outrageous thing is that this guy adhered to his beliefs for so long, but after going into the dungeon once, he realized he was too bad to help and immediately changed his mind.
That's just you being dramatic! You're completely a rebellious youth who hasn't been toughened up by society!
After teaming up with Bell, Welf began to forge a large number of magic swords for his team.
Of course, it remains the same: we won't sell it to others.
