Chapter 178 New Dimension Quest (4)



Chapter 178 New Dimension Quest (4)

The administrator explained that Kieron was a weaker world than Earth. The size of the world was much smaller than the Earth, so it was inevitably lower. However, it shouldn’t be misunderstood that all things that made up this world were small because of the interfering power that could be called the will of the world. Just as Kang Shin-hyuk, a person from another world, decreased in size when he entered Kieron, objects and people in this world were released from Kieron’s oppression when they went to another world. That was how the Brenite javelin, made in this world, could be used normally even after going back to Earth.

‘What the hell does a small world mean?’ It wasn’t pointless. For an object or being to overcome the oppression of the world and maintain its original size, it would need a high level of innate spiritual power. That was how the Heroic Shield had retained its size and had been seen as a huge wall to the people of Kieron.

“If so, how about thinking in reverse? First of all, how about making a miniature of the wall, then turning it into a massive wall to protect the whole city?!”

“That sounds very stupid.” To Milia, it sounded ridiculous.

“Of course, there are cases like the shield wall, and there are records of how you made the sword enormous that one time, so it cannot be said to be impossible, but it’s not realistic. A wall-shaped artifact?”

“It’s more realistic to build a wall than completely protecting the castle and the people within a month and a half.”

“Yes, so make me a weapon, not a wall. If we had only a hundred more like the old javelins, it would be easier to stop them.”

“Well, I’ll do that too, but the wall comes first.” Milia sighed at Kang Shin-hyuk’s strong will. But, before long, she shook her head with a bloody smile.

“Previously, I didn’t know you were such a maniac. Is it a little strange for me to be happy to learn of your new side at a time like this?”

“Yes. That’s because I’m not a maniac.”

“You were like that.” Milia turned around with a laugh.

“Then, let’s go back. I’ll guide you to your room.”

“Alright.”

-Fox.

Kang Shin-hyuk followed Milia while ignoring the administrator’s message that appeared in the corner of his eye for a brief moment. But before leaving, he turned to look once more at the water orb in the fountain. There he had an idea while looking at it, but it passed by so quickly he couldn’t remember it now.

‘If it’s important, I’ll think of it later.’ Kang Shin-hyuk was brought back to the throne room and then guided by the soldiers to his room. It was time for him to focus on making a blueprint.

“First, we need to figure out the difference in size between this world and Earth.

-If you enlarge the sword, you can figure it out.

It was a good idea. Kang Shin-hyuk told the soldier who brought him dinner about the plan and that everyone didn’t need to be surprised or run away when it happened. The soldier, frightened, went out to spread the news in a hurry while Shin-hyuk ate. It was stew with plenty of bird meat, probably from this world’s aerial monster. It wasn’t all that different tasting than chicken.

“But it’s not very filling.” Kang Shin-hyuk required a lot of food to fuel himself, so this kind of meal wasn’t enough.

-The food crisis will be serious, especially if they only hunt.

“I didn’t see any fields while I was entering. The ground is dry.” There was clearly a lack of rain in this country, and drinking water had been scarce before they secured the water orb.

“But providing them food now won’t solve the fundamental problem.”

-That’s right.

Still, for those with uncertain futures, just being happy today was enough. Kang Shin-hyuk invested a considerable amount of his remaining HP in purchasing the regular food sold on the trading board in tons. He focused on buying a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains that would restore spiritual power.

-Smart.

When he finished the purchase, someone knocked on the door.

“Can I come in, Anvil? I don’t know if you remember me…”

“Come in, Zeke.” The door opened, and a middle-aged man in armor entered. It was easy enough for Kang Shin-hyuk to guess his identity, as he was the man Shin-hyuk had seen the most during his stay before.

“You quit pretending to be a soldier?”

“I stopped that a while ago. It’s been a while, Anvil.”

“You look old.”

“You’re a friend who only picks out words that people won’t like.” Zeke frowned while muttering similar things to Milia; then, he immediately looked at him with sharp eyes.

“You said you were going to summon God’s sword.”

“God’s sword? Ah.” To Zeke and the other soldiers, that giant sword that had appeared to end the monster that threatened humanity was the sword of God.

“Yeah, I want to check something out. However, this time it is impossible to destroy all the monsters with it, so be aware of that.”

“I have already heard it from Her Majesty. She said you were going to build a wall, so it’s undoubtedly related to that. Is it really possible?”

“Sure.”

“…Hey, Anvil.” Zeke closed the door and approached Kang Shin-hyuk. It felt a bit odd to make intense eye contact with a middle-aged man standing so close, but he wasn’t going to back down.

“You must’ve heard how hard it has been the last seven years, even with the city.”

“Yes, that’s why I don’t mean to offer any half-assed help.”

“But nonetheless, without you today, it might already be over. It was that precarious of a situation, and it still is.” He thought it was an everyday battle, but it seemed that each battle was an important step. That was why the dimensional quest had appeared. Kang Shin-hyuk nodded, but Zeke drew closer as if he was worried somebody would hear him.

“We have reached our limit. No matter how great your abilities are, it would be unreasonable to provide us a way to stably survive in this situation. Her Majesty is also dependent on you, though it feels like picking at grass.”

-What is this bug talking about? It doesn’t make sense to question your abilities.

The administrator spoke up for Kang Shin-hyuk’s feelings, but he wanted to believe it wasn’t his fault that the administrator’s speech had become so harsh lately.

“So at the time you decide it is impossible… please don’t hesitate to take Her Majesty into your world. She has suffered enough. No one can blame her for leaving behind a world that will be destroyed anyway to find happiness as an individual.”

-Even trying to push that fox on you! It’s impossible now; I can’t stand it anymore! Should I kill him?

Kang Shin-hyuk ignored the administrator.

“There’s no need to worry about that.”

“You will listen to my request? Thank you.” It seemed that Zeke had a misunderstanding, but Kang Shin-hyuk had no intention to correct those thoughts. In a few days, everyone would know anyway. The fact stood that Kang Shin-hyuk had changed much more in half a year than they had over seven.

“Anyway, has word about the sword spread?”

“Yes, I’ve been talking about it.”

“Okay, then…” Kang Shin-hyuk opened the window and threw the Godslayer sword out. He poured his spiritual power in it and used Wind Mastery to raise it into the sky.

“Ha, didn’t you throw it with a javelin before?”

“That’s outdated. Fully automatic is the trend these days.” It wasn’t fully automatic, but Zeke wouldn’t understand anyway. Previously, he had to squeeze out spiritual power enough to kill himself to do it, but now it was different. The Godslayer sword had regained its strength to the SS-rank. Even if Kang Shin-hyuk didn’t instill it with spiritual power, it would be possible for it to regain its form on its own. And so, a giant sword appeared in the sky above Kieron.

“Woooooahh!”

“It’s the sword of God!”

“God’s apostle has proven himself!” Everyone became noisy as the sword appeared above them. Perhaps they had been waiting to confirm the stories. Their faces were filled with joy and determination like they were watching the International Fireworks Festival.

‘I should go to the fireworks festival this year with Claire.’

“Just like before.” As Kang Shin-hyuk was lost in his delusions about a date with Claire, the voice next to him sighed. Looking over, Zeke had a polite expression in contrast to those cheering outside.

“That display was the spark of hope for us humans. Even though I know that despair awaits us in the end, I have the courage to struggle again.”

“You’ve become so pessimistic since last I saw you.”

“Anyone who lives in this world will, perhaps Her Majesty too.” He patted Kang Shin-hyuk on the shoulder, asking him not to forget what they discussed, and left. Kang Shin-hyuk couldn’t tell him that he had prepared food as he left in such a cool manner.

“Well, should I do it after I make the wall?”

-Did you figure out everything you need to know?

“Yeah.” Kang Shin-hyuk nodded.

“I think I can make it roughly the size of a waistband. It can be resizable, so it’ll be perfect for if they want to expand the city later.”

-A 110,000HP bonus from this administrator who can’t help but marvel at your genius!

In that way, Kang Shin-hyuk’s production began. He was using the magic metal Kenyon and the nails from the SS-class dwarves.
