"Hah, damn it. What kind of ss is this all of a sudden."
An old man in a high-end black suit clicked his tongue and sat down, then looked at the secretary next to him.
"I'm not in a good mood, so I'll skip the al. Bring a bottle of wine instead."
"Yes, I understand."
Click- clack-
Listening to the sound of the secretary's heels echoing on the floor, the old man turned his gaze to the window next to him.
At that, the brilliantly shining scenery of Huabei Jing ca into view beyond the window.
Right now, the old man was on a plane, leaving China for another country.
As the organization called the Black Dragon Society ca to the surface, China had literally turned into a crucible of chaos.
Many countries and foreign companies, sensing that they should not be involved with the current China, began to distance themselves, and at that, the value of the Chinese currency plumted in an instant.
Financial loss, the old man's escape, the fundantal reason was similar to this.
But if it were just that, the old man would have still chosen to stay in China.
Not only was the foundation of his business in China, but the connections he had built with high-ranking Chinese officials over a long period of ti were a property too precious to let go of.
But the real reason the old man had decided to leave China was because of the information that ca through those connections.
Also, the position that had brought the old man this far scread continuously that this situation was not ordinary.
The Chinese governnt, in a desperate situation, wracked their brains and sought a solution.
But in fact, there was no need to rack their brains.
Because there was only one solution to solve this situation: to appease the public sentint by capturing and thoroughly destroying the [Black Dragon Society], which had now firmly established itself as China's sworn enemy.
But the problem was that the [Black Dragon Society] was an organization that received unofficial protection from the Chinese governnt.
So the Chinese governnt quickly created a scarecrow and a bait to resolve the current situation and, with that, they tried to show that they were still strong and stabilize the public sentint.
"Tsk, if it had been like that, I wouldn't have suffered this loss."
The old man frowned as he swallowed his wine.
The Chinese governnt's attempt was thwarted before it even began.
Before the governnt could even move, information about the [Black Dragon Society] began to circulate like crazy on the internet, and at that, so of the people even joined forces to hunt the [Black Dragon Society].
As if to prevent the Chinese governnt from being able to say that they had caught the [Black Dragon Society], evidence that the [Black Dragon Society] remained continued to appear.
Looking at that, it was obvious what the organization that had created the current situation wanted.
Kill the [Black Dragon Society].
At that, the Chinese governnt was indignant, but for now, they decided to move as they were told.
They tried to deal with the [Black Dragon Society] as slowly as possible, sohow trying to find a way to solve the current situation and the purpose of making them attack the [Black Dragon Society].
That was the reason the old man had abandoned China.
"Who on earth are these guys and why did they do this…"
The old man muttered that and shook his head, trying to shake off his thoughts about China.
Not only the old man, but also the Chinese governnt, did not know.
That the purpose itself was to tie up the feet of the [Black Dragon Society] and the Chinese governnt by dragging out ti.
"What should we do today?"
"I wonder? I'm bored, shall we go to the Player departnt store? I want to get so new equipnt."
And so, although China was in chaos in many ways, the other countries were peaceful, as if they didn't care.
It was the mont when the preparations made by the countries and nations that had experienced the extre great depression created by the disappearance of the Pantheon shone.
"My ability is to create ice or freeze sothing, so I also carried things like water bombs."
"Ah, I'm similar. I also use my ability by exchanging the positions of my weapons, so I prepare a few weapons in advance."
"Hmm, should I also prepare sothing other than daggers?"
In that peace, the three, Eun Yeonwoo, Lee Hyunseok, and Lee Jieun, shared their respective experiences and enlightennts and pondered how to better use the characteristics of their auras.
"Ah, I see! I just thought of it simply as a fireball, but if I use mana to add more commands to the magic and cause a transformation, I can transform it into a magic that suits the situation at that ti!"
-That's about right. For example, in a place with water vapor, it's better to compress it and increase the explosive power rather than simply increasing the size, right? It's similar.
"Hmm, I understand perfectly!"
-Huhu, rember it well. You can only say you've truly learned a magic when you can transform and control it as you wish.
Lee Hyunyoung was rapidly improving her skills by taking an online lecture from Oz, a little away from the three.
For Lee Hyunyoung, who had been self-studying magic online until now, the existence of the three was as sweet as a golden rain falling in a desert.
"Hooo…"
Lee Sieun was quietly imrsed in ditation, a little away from them.
She was practicing what Lee Shin had said, to practice once when she had ti, as it would be useful if she could draw a single fight just by imagining it.
And so, after training in their own ways, they clashed with each other and tested their current selves.
Whether they could use the techniques they had thought of in a real battle, how much they could use the newly learned magic, how different their current thoughts were from their movents, and so on.
And so, they grew rapidly, using each other as a stepping stone.
"The phone isn't picking up."
"I knew it."
"Haha, well, that Hyung rarely answers his phone on ti."
The promised three days passed quickly.
Eun Yeonwoo said nonchalantly, as if he had expected it.
"Let's go in first and wait. He's a person who takes terrible care of his own things, so he'll probably co."
The others, who had nodded their heads at Eun Yeonwoo's words, entered the World Dungeon, hoping that this ti they would not be tornted by the dwarves' chattering hell.
–
"Hey, sorry, but I have to go sowhere soon. So let's do the rest later."
"Hooo, where are you going so disappointingly. If you really want to go, you should at least leave an arm or a leg behind."
Pfft-
"If you wanted it, you should have cut it off yourself."
"Agh, really…! Oh, you ran away? What! Hey, you, get back here! You're so cheap! Ah, why can my choker only teleport within Germany! I can't even chase you like this!"
Lee Shin, who had spent a fun ti playing with Arachne for three days, also moved to the World Dungeon to find his weapon, which would have been completed by now.
***
"Then let's et in front of Mairiph-ssi's house later."
"Alright. Smile will also go there to get his weapon, so that's a good place."
"Hwaaam, see you later."
Those who had entered the World Dungeon scattered to the blacksmiths they had commissioned to find their weapons.
Lee Sieun walked according to her mory and yawned slightly, covering her mouth.
It was still a little early in the morning, so she was a little sleepy.
But she had no choice because the dwarves had said with serious faces that she had to co before the weapon was completely finished.
Kwang-! Kwang-! Kwang-!
Simultaneously with the familiar blacksmith's shop coming into her two eyes, the sound of a hamr striking iron rang in her ears.
Lee Sieun thought for a mont outside the blacksmith's shop, then chose to hide her presence and quietly enter the blacksmith's shop.
"Waaah…"
In the quietly entered blacksmith's shop, a scene beyond her imagination was unfolding.
The dwarf, whom she had only thought of as a chatterbox, was striking a hamr with a serious face, and the flas of the furnace were not the usual red, but were flashing as if alternating between black and white, burning fiercely.
The sight of him handling the exotic flas as he wished and striking the iron with a hamr made her feel why dwarves were called the children of steel and fla.
Lee Sieun felt a small sense of regret as she watched the dwarf strike the hamr.
Worried about being caught by the dwarves for the past three days, she hadn't even looked in the direction of the World Dungeon.
But she thought that if she could have seen this, she should have co sooner.
Because the scene unfolding before her eyes now was so captivating that even she, who was dull of emotion, was watching it blankly.
A hot fla that would instantly cook one's skin was coming out, and a high and strong sound continued to shake her ears.
Nevertheless, Lee Sieun stood in her place as if watching a performance and watched her weapon being made.
Kwang-! Kwang-! Kwang-!
The sight of him striking the red-hot steel was lted into one with the blacksmith's shop, and the sound of the hamring contained a certain rhythm, as if striking an instrunt.
Just as the sound of an electric guitar spreading through a speaker resonates heavily in people's bones, the sound of the dwarf's hamr spread to the listener and had a weight that resonated within.
Kkang-! Kkang-! Kkang-!
How much ti had passed?
The sound of the hamr striking the iron beca a little smaller.
He had begun to focus on the shape rather than the power.
As if to prove that, the steel on the anvil was slowly taking shape.
For so reason?
Listening to that sound, Lee Sieun felt a strange tickling in her chest.
It was hard to take her eyes off the piece of iron that was slowly taking shape.
Chiiik--!
After finishing the last hamring, the dwarf put the two swords that had taken shape into water that was shining blue.
"Hah…"
Listening to the sound of the steel cooling as it t the cold water, Lee Sieun finally let out the breath she had been holding and got up from her seat.
The dwarf, watching the dazed Lee Sieun approaching him, smiled with satisfaction.
"It's a guy that hasn't been properly processed yet, but how is it? You like it, don't you?"
Listening to the voice full of confidence, as if refusal was not an option, Lee Sieun nodded her head blankly and looked at the two swords in the container as if possessed.
The dwarf, who was watching her, chuckled and wiped his sweat with a towel.
"Hold the swords and put your ki into them."
"Put my ki, into the weapon?"
"Yes, you're letting your ki flow and telling the newly made guy. You're saying that you're its master."
"…Is this why, you told to co early?"
"You're not completely clueless."
Listening to the dwarf's chuckling, Lee Sieun reached out her hand towards the weapon in a slightly nervous state.
"Uung…"
It was strange.
Even though they were in cold water, she felt a subtle heat from the hands holding each sword.
Chwaaak-
Lee Sieun took the swords out of the water and let her internal energy flow into them.
At that, the heat that had been felt even in the water slowly disappeared, and the swords trembled slightly and then began to shine.
Seeing that, Lee Sieun was startled.
"This is…"
"Sword ki. It seems that guy likes you too."
Lee Sieun, at the words that she had created sword ki, smiled stealthily without realizing it.
Although it was a sword ki created with the help of a weapon, she was just happy right now.
"Have you decided on the nas of the two?"
Lee Sieun nodded her head.
"Black Shadow and White Shadow. Those are their nas."
At Lee Sieun's words, the two also cried slightly, as if they liked it.
While she was smiling and looking at the swords in her hands.
"It seems you like it."
"Smile?"
Lee Sieun, at the sudden voice from behind, hurriedly turned around.
There, a ragged Lee Shin was smiling widely from outside the window.
"Did sothing happen?"
"Ah, it's nothing much. I just got dirty from playing with a kid for a while."
At Lee Shin's words that he had played with soone else, leaving her behind, Lee Sieun's heart felt strangely unsettled, and she changed the subject.
"Smile, did you get your weapon?"
"No."
Lee Shin said that and looked in the direction where the sound of a hamr striking strongly was heard.
"I have to go get it now."
