“This, this, what is this… … ?!”

The bishop made a stunned expression at the scene unfolding in front of his eyes.

“You, you, now, now, now?”

The state of Ascalon in the box as she stood up from her seat without even being able to speak properly because she was so embarrassed. No, it checks the status of ‘what was Ascalon’.

“Ahh… … Ah, ah! Ah, father… … .”

And then the bishop collapses.

“Bishop!”

John, who was next to him, is startled and throws the box in his hand and grabs the bishop.

In the end, Ascalon is in my hands.

“Sa——Hitman man. What are you doing! Why are you destroying a sacred relic!”

And it must have been a very startling sight even to Yoon Kwang-soo, his jaw wide open to the point of touching the ground.

“Breaking it. It’s about making something new with paralysis.”

“What, what?”

I said that and handed him the Ascalon, which had already become like clay and had been crushed.

“Can you make a new one?”

“What makes a new one… … Sir, are you asking me to make a new Ascalon?”

“You got it right.”

“No, I understand you! Do you know how easy it is to make a weapon like Ascalon? I haven’t seen it a few times, so I don’t even know what it looks like, so how are you going to make it!”

The guy shook his head and stepped back, as if he thought it was an unreasonable request.

“What are you talking about. Why are you making this into a weapon?”

“… … Yes?”

For a moment, I put the Ascalon in the hands of the dumbfounded guy.

“Make it rosario. something you can wear around your neck. You can do that much.”

“To make it a rosario… … .”

“Father John.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s take the bishop into the church first. You can’t leave it on the dirt floor forever. And… … May I ask for an empty room?”

“Are you talking about an empty room?”

No matter how much Ascalon turned into clay, the effect did not disappear.

The biggest feature of ‘gishik(器飾)’.

This was due to the material’s ability to change its shape while maintaining its unique properties.

Of course, depending on the appearance, the usage may change and the effect may change slightly, but the fact that the most important effect is always maintained is a great advantage.

This was the part where you could see why ‘parasites’ had become a skill that blacksmith players must learn.

“You can’t take the holy relics outside, can you? It won’t take long, so please.”

The most needed of Ascalon’s abilities right now is the effect of creating a sanctuary.

If Ascalon is moved to another location, the sanctuary will change and it will be difficult to maintain the safety of the cathedral.

“Ah, I see. Come inside!”

John, who stood up from his seat holding the bishop, led the way and entered the cathedral.

At the same time, the appearance of the children stepping back in surprise as if they were watching the situation in front of the door stands out.

“Father, how… … uh? Lord, Bishop?”

The children are embarrassed by the bishop’s drooping figure.

“Sister Maria. Would you like to take the bishop to your room? I think I will have to take the guests to their rooms.”

“The Bishop? Ah yes!”

In the end, Mary, who is handed the bishop by John, hurriedly enters the church. After checking her back, Yohan looks at us again.

“Right now, the guest room will be empty. Originally, the guest would be staying in the room today… … Are you okay?”

“I don’t care.”

Nodding his head at his question, he steps underground and passes through a cellar where wines are being aged, finally arriving in front of a room.

“Anyway, due to the nature of the cathedral, there is almost no reason for guests to come, so we could only make it in a place like this. Please excuse me.”

“no. You must have been very surprised, but thank you for calmly listening to my request.”

tall.

Stopping in front of the room, he turns around and smiles.

“it’s okay. Customers will have their own thoughts.”

“… … Yes?”

I thought that I would be criticized for what I had done, but an unexpected reaction came out.

“Is the priest all right?”

Since I arrived today, none of my actions have been ordinary.

Above all, destroying the holy relic must have been quite a shocking scene, but he replied with a slow shake of his head.

“Of course I was surprised too. Because the holy relics I’ve been guarding all this time have become mere lumps of clay.”

… … Also.

“But. The sanctuary is maintained and Cloud is a precious brother who fought for us. I am sure there is a way you have in mind.”

Could this be the mindset of the brides?

In the end, I nodded my head at the look of him who decided to trust me.

“Thank you for your trust. Father.”

“Then please. Ascalon please. brothers.”

After saying goodbye like that, John goes upstairs. Yoon Kwang-soo, who had been watching the scene blankly, opened his mouth first.

“… … so sleepy. Was the reason you brought me here to turn this into a rosario?”

Yoon Kwang-soo, still in disbelief, blinks at the bundle of ascalon in his hand.

“Yeah, why? Are you too burdened?”

At my words, he hurriedly shook his head in surprise.

“What are you talking about! I don’t know how many times I’ve been so excited in my entire life!”

Yes, I thought he would definitely answer like that.

Because the Yoon Kwang-soo I knew was not a man who would turn down an opportunity like this.

“Then I’m glad. Then go inside.”

“Yes. Sasuk.”

Entering the room reveals a room built specifically for guests to stay.

Old chairs and beds. and table.

In this place where these are all, we have to recreate the holy relic with our bare hands.

But they didn’t really matter.

Because paralysis is possible in any place, as long as you have an aura and materials.

“Okay, let’s start working right away. Whoops!”

Caang——! Caang——! Caang——! Caang——!

After enclosing the desk with an aura to strengthen the hardness, he puts the Ascalon on the table and starts tapping it with his hands.

Ascalon is easily changing because I have already melted it once.

After watching him for a while, I sat down on the bed holding a piece of Ascalon that I had removed before handing him the casting.

“Then, shall I begin soon?”

What I will make in the future is a weapon that even a beginner like me can easily make.

Caang——! Caang——! Caang——! Caang——!

One day, in the basement of Halla Cathedral, a constant sound of metal beating resonated regularly.

* * *

Even after all my work was finished, I was staring blankly at Yoon Kwang-soo pounding the (old) Akcalon and (now) Rosario as if there was still something left to touch.

Then, an irregular sound came from outside the room. It sounded like something was rushing towards it.

“Are you awake already?”

There must be only one person running towards us right now.

“Ascalon?! What happened to Ascalon?!”

Originally, she should have been protecting Ascalon, but she finally got up from her seat.

“Are you awake?”

“You… … ! What the hell have you done! And Ascalon, where is Ascalon!”

As soon as I wake up, I look for Ascalon.

I sighed and pointed to the (old) Ascalon that was still being pounded hard.

“If it is Ascalon you are talking about, it is being reborn over there.

“Hey, wasn’t it a dream after all?! Lord, why are you giving me such an ordeal? … .”

She slumped down again as if her legs had lost strength.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to faint like before.

Besides, it seemed that they had already exhausted themselves and did not have the energy to interfere with our actions.

I left her behind, unable to hold back her tears as she sat down, and turned my gaze to Yoon Kwang-soo again.

“Suck! Hmm! Suck!”

His whole body was covered in sweat like a waterfall, perhaps because he had wrestled with that ingot for a long time.

The clothes you were wearing have long since been taken off.

He had been in a state of trance since earlier, silently striking his fist.

Quaang!

With one punch of his fist, divine power bounced off.

Quaang!

Flames rise from the fist that struck again.

Quaang!

The aura in his hand became a hammer that could never be twisted and was creating a new holy object.

The bishop also stood up with a bewitched expression, perhaps feeling this unusual atmosphere, and slowly approached me.

“… … What is that?”

there’s no way you wouldn’t know

The divine power that had been pouring out little by little from earlier had already filled the room.

With a bewildered expression, she muttered as she looked at the new sacred object being completed with an aura.

“Ascalon. The new Ascalon you will receive.”

“… … Is that Ascalon?”

“yes. I didn’t expect it to be this effective, but it’s beyond my imagination.”

Did the legendary Italian artist Michelangelo say that?

‘I saw an angel in marble and carved him until I set him free.’

And now, Yoon Kwang-soo’s hand movements seemed like the task of finding a sleeping angel inside the sword.

stand tall–

His fists towering high above his head stop.

Yoon Kwang-soo just stands still and looks at Rosario.

Soon, he raised his other hand toward the sky… … .

“It’s doneaaa!!”

After shouting as hard as he could, announcing that his turn was over, he fell backwards like a scarecrow blown over by the wind.

“Ugh. hehehe… … .”

Even so, I could see that his expression was full of relief.

Judging by the aura I feel… … Did you cross the wall during training? It seems that Ascalon’s training difficulty was higher than expected.

No, since it’s no different from making a new object, if it’s natural, is it natural?

He slowly approached the place where he lay face down and spoke slowly in a low voice.

“Good job. Sandy.”

He’s already had enough of one man’s share. No, it’s because I’ve done something that’s hard to guarantee success no matter how many people rush at it.

[Name: Ascalon (★)]

[Rating: Artifact]

[Type: Relic]

[Description: A rosario made of Ascalon, a sword said to have been used by Saint Georgius to suffocate the evil dragon Fafnir.

The user’s holy power is explosively increased and the sanctuary can be activated nearby.

When equipped, it deals 2.5x divine damage to evil property enemies, and up to 7x damage to dragons.

(Since it has reached its optimum form as a relic, its additional stats have increased.)]

Ascalon, which allows you to fully enjoy its effects just by wearing it, rather than attacking with a sword.

A star was attached next to the name to indicate that it was transcendental enhancement.

“Now, check for yourself.”

I tossed a new Ascalon to her, who stared blankly at Rosario.

Receiving it without hesitation, she checked the contents.

“No, wait… … is this possible? How, how did you change the sword like this when you just made it into a rosario?”

He puts on a look of astonishment with his eyes wide open.

response as expected.

“I’m asking for something obvious. The type of Ascalon is not a holy sword, but a holy relic. So I just made it into a more proper form.”

“… … holy sword? Relic?”

Yeah, it’s going to be hard to understand.

What kind of madman would have melted a sword called a sacred object and turned it into a sword?

Only a player like me would be able to think that way and even put it into action. It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand that bewildered expression.

And… … The best thing is this

A cool feeling in your pocket.

I looked at the bishop and Yoon Kwang-soo with a smile as I felt the weight of the guy who felt heavier compared to his size.

“ruler… … Now, shall we talk about the Fafnir Raid?”
