chapter 220 – Building a Castle (8)

[Yomwang Wall]
[SSS+ Rank]
[Special Abilities: Fire Nest, Diamond, Evil Absorption, Evolution]
*Fire Nest: Creates a curtain of fire energy that protects everything in the wall. It is strengthened by the power of the flame and never weakens.
*Diamond: Strengthens defense and durability beyond the limits.
* Evil Absorption: It absorbs some of the energy of those wanting to harm those inside the wall to energize the creatures inside thewall.
*Evolution: This artifact has the potential to grow beyond the limits of its rank.
[A building completed with the help of a craftsman and many helpers who have crossed the limits of a mortal body. The scale was so huge that it did not receive enough energy, but the building that inherited the possibility of a craftsman will surely be reborn as heintended.]
-You made history again. 400,000HP bonus from an impressed administrator!
“No, this isn’t what I made.” It was made out of an SS+ rank metal, so he had high expectations, but the fact that the entire wall was an artifact was beyond anything he had imagined. It was well out of what could be considered a blacksmith’s work.
-You are the member who alloyed the explosive gold brick, and you are the one who decided how to build the wall. It is no exaggeration to say that you made thiswall.
The administrator said so as if he guessed what Shin-hyuk had been thinking. Kang Shin-hyuk felt bad for Shu. It was all thanks to her ability that they had completed it soquickly.
“Is this enough?”
-I don’t know, but the conditions were good.
The administrator told him to look around. Indeed, all of the Yeomin except for Kwati had fallen to theground.
[Hey, Anvil.]
Meanwhile, Kwati called out to him quizzically as she had yet to grasp the situation.
[What the hell is this damn girl doing? The two of us have to fight against them?]
“Can’t we try to solve it through talking?”
[There’s a bunch of them.]
[Smash it!]
[Destroy the volcano and regain our peaceful world!]
The people living in this world charged at the wall with the fire lizards beside them.
-Klang!
-Kiii!
However, while Kwati and Kang Shin-hyuk stood by not knowing what to do, everyone who rushed the wall bounced off it. The walls were unaffected, however.
‘Well, it is made of that explosive gold.’ The metal had insanely high durability. It was piled up and reborn as an artifact, so its durability and defense had only further increased. It was no wonder that the monsters of this world would bounce off like that.
-Quaaaaah!
-Quaah!
The fire lizards crawled around it, but they couldn’t climb the walls or break through it with their flames. Rather, the flames they breathed only reinforced it. This wall was impenetrable to the fire lizardsalone.
[It’s pretty hard,but…]
[That’s right, it’s their trick.Push!]
[Let’s attack with wind and water!]
The storm turtles could produce wind, and the swamp pigs could produce water. The rock wolves used the power of the earth, so they weren’t suffering much damage even when they collided with the metal wall. The explosive gold didn’t have the vulnerability to water and ice as the ice salt gold did, but it didn’t boast of the invincibility it had against fire. Each enemy reached the SS-rank on the minimum, so if they continued to attack, it would only take them a day to break through.
[Damn, we just finished the walls too. Once we’re gone, you’re next!]
“These ones are the real problem.” They seemed to have at least a minimal level of reasoning, so why couldn’t they grasp such a simple fact? Kang Shin-hyuk was genuinely curious.
-Member, sometimes beasts, rely on their instincts over reason. They are impatient and obsessed with their desires.
“Uh, that…”
-Most beings only think of themselves even when disaster strikes the world. They often think that they will be the exception to thedisaster.
“Wow.” Such things often happened on Earth, so that he couldn’t deny it.
“I have to giveup.”
-That’s right. Edifying them can’t be achieved.
Kang Shin-hyuk jumped up on the wall to look over the situation now that he had given up on persuading them. Thousands of enemies were striking the walls from all sides. It was fortunate that all of them were being blocked by the special ability FireNest.
“It’s impressive.”
[Now’s not the time to admire them, Anvil.]
Kwati came up to his side and glared at the hordes around them with a murderous gaze.
[I’ll admit the walls you made are amazing. But how long will they hold out?]
“Is it okay to be hostile like this?”
[It can’t be changed now. Besides, there’s nothing to fear. You only need to be able to defeat them properly. If the Yeomin were in good shape, it would be simple to use this wall to stop them.]
Kwati replied that there was a reason they weren’t invading each other’s territories in the first place. She had a flame shining orange in her hand, but she didn’t know which one to dealwith.
“Okay, then let’s wake up Shu first.” He ran down the wall and found Shu’s body lying halfway down. Her chest gently rose and fell, informing him that she was only sleeping.
“Do you have any advice, administrator?”
-You should use your best skills.
“Oh, really? Then, I’m sorry, Shu, but a kiss…”
-?!?!
The administrator had only been joking around, but Kang Shin-hyuk was intent on doing it right. He supported her head up and held herhand.
-Member, are you really confident that your best ability is that?
“Shh, I need to focus.”
-Was this mymistake?
What he meant was, of course, his spiritual power. Kang Shin-hyuk carefully let his spiritual power flow through Shu. Originally, such a thing would be impossible, but since she was stunned and he had more experience in reading other’s sources with his power, it was actually rather easy compared to working with Mirang. It seemed that she was stronger than Mirang, however, but her spiritual defense wasweak.
‘Ah… indeed, it is.’ He understood some of the mechanisms by which her abilities worked as he dug through to her roots.
‘In exchange for bringing the results right away, Shu is cutting away at her future. In other words, her immature body is the price and penalty for her ability.’ Perhaps that wasn’t the only penalty. There must have been many things she had to give up in exchange for them. A typical example would be skill proficiency since she skipped the process and would take a penalty for not properly learning it. Perhaps that was why her stake in completing the wall had been oddlysmall.
-It is the ability to look forward to the future, but only if you can wisely walk the tightrope between desire and reason. So, dear member, it is really…
Half ignoring the prying administrator, he sank deeper into Shu’s source. At that point, she seemed to realize his invasion, but she accepted him without any rejection.
[Grandpa…?]
[Did you wakeup?]
[It’s still hard. Interfering with causality causes strain on my body. Was it not solved with the finished wall?]
[I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem like it will hold outforever.]
[Well, that’s right. They need to be overwhelmed so they won’t attack later…]
Each time her voice rang out, her core, a sphere of bright light, swelled up.
[Okay, I can do this. It’s still difficult for me to get upmyself.]
Shu declared so.
[I’ll lend you some of my abilities. Wanna try a rocket punch?]
[Uh?! Can I do it?!]
[It would be impossible with my body. But I think Grandpa can handle it.]
He could feel her power flowing through him.
“Ah…”
-Member, are you okay?
“…Yeah.” When he opened his eyes, Shu was still asleep.
[Anvil, please help! The walls are vibrating… huh?]
[What is that?!]
Something great had appeared in the sky.
