his? Is there anything good here?”

“Mister~?”

“Mister, are you deaf? Answer us.”

The users here saw that Grid was in a crisis and no one tried to help.
In addition, Grid was inherently unfriendly towards people.
He had no obligation to answer the users’ questions.

“This is too annoying.
Fly.”

Grid cried out to the annoying users and used Fly.
Then he literally flew away in the sky.

“…?”

The users left behind were stunned and could only blink.
After a few minutes, people in various communities around the world became interested in something.

It was a place called Popo Forest near Winston.
I hunted with my friend there and saw a high level user slaughtering mobs.
Then after wiping out all the mobs, he flew away.
A swordsman was flying?

RnfkRk’s comment: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ A swordsman can’t fly ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Durururubam’s reply: A swordsman was flying? I’m a priest but I can’t use Heal.

Black Dragon’s Right Arm’s comment: Kukuk… That swordsman was me… Kukukuk… I was careful but I never thought someone would witness it… Yare yare…

Zkxhfm’s comment: Liar’s disease.

Admiral’s comment: Did you mother eat seaweed soup on the day you were born?

30,000 won Salary’s comment: Don’t write shit just to gain traffic.

It was a terrible method.
The users abused the poster who wrote about the flying swordsman, so the other witnesses no longer bragged about it.
Thus, it was a temporary problem and the topic wasn’t mentioned any longer.

In the meantime, Grid arrived at Khan’s smithy and ran straight to the furnace.
He placed the pavranium in the furnace and controlled the temperature in order to determine the melting point.

“It is 1,900 degrees.”

The pavranium was so small that it was instantly smelted.

“I don’t want to carry it around in an egg shape until I make the Vessel of the Soul, so I should transform it into something else…”

But the volume was too small to produce a lot of items.
The pavranium wasn’t enough to even make a dagger.
In order to make an item, Grid would have to mix in other materials.
However, he didn’t want to contaminate the pure pavranium.

“Let’s be satisfied with changing the shape.”

After being with the pavranium for a while, he noticed that it had a propensity to stay by the owner’s side for protection.
He needed to take advantage of this feature.

“A shape more suitable for defense than an egg… Ah!’

Grid recalled Malacus’ shield.

“He formed a disc-shaped shield with magic power at each attacked point, effectively blocking the attack…”

Ttang! Ttang!

Grid started carefully hammering.
Then after a while, the pavranium became two disks.
Each disc was slightly smaller than the palms of an adult.

“Okay.”

Grid finished the discs.
The discs floated in the air before starting to revolve around Grid again.
Grid felt reassured.
It seemed like he could be protected from most attacks.
Then Jishuka arrived at the smithy.
Grid told her.

“Shoot an arrow at me.”

“Huh?”

“Hurry.”

“Hrmm, okay.”

Jishuka saw the golden discs circling around Grid and noticed his intentions.
Then she fired an arrow without hesitation.

Syuk!

Chaaeng!

It was a beautiful sight.
The two discs around Grid’s body flew in the direction of the arrow and fully stopped it.

“That is great…”

Jishuka’s expression wasn’t good, compared to her admiring words.
Her ego was bruised.

“It’s that simple to block? Did I shoot it too weakly?”

“Hey, wait a minute…!”

Grid was scared.
Jishuka fired again, but this time she pulled the bowstring back to the maximum.

Swaeek!

“Aaaagh!”

The arrow that contained all her power flew towards Grid’s death.

Then!

Jjejeong!

“…Hah!”

Grid and Jishuka let out a sound at the same time.
Jishuka’s was a displeased sneer, while Grid was filled with delight.

“This arrow can even pierce through steel… Isn’t this extremely durable? Like Braham said, it’s the peak of all minerals.”

That’s right.
The golden discs had perfectly blocked the arrow fired by Jishuka.
But the impact was quite strong, so it couldn’t move for a little while after the point of collision.
Then it started moving again after two seconds.

‘If it receives excessive shock, it is immobilized for two seconds…’

If Jishuka continuously fired her strength arrows, the two discs wouldn’t be able to completely protect his body.
Grid felt the need to complete this quest and obtain the rest of the pavranium.

‘But… If there are 27 more pavranium of this size, it won’t be enough to make armor… Well, it isn’t a problem.
I can still use it.’

Grid was flexible.
Rather than striving to make a complete item with a limited volume of pavranium, it was best to maximize its efficiency by making several small items.

‘For example, attaching a blade made of pavranium to armor.
The blade would move on its own to protect me from attacks I can’t react to, or if the enemy attacks me from an unexpected angle.’

An item that could move on its own! If he cleared this quest and gained the remaining pavranium, he would be able to write the true history of the power of items.
As Grid was overwhelmed with pleasure, someone knocked on the door of the smithy.
Jishuka asked him.

“These discs, they don’t need to be exposed to other people right?”

“Of course.
Isn’t it common sense to hide it?”

“Yes.”

Grid placed the discs in his inventory.
Then the doors of the smithy opened.
One knight and dozens of soldiers entered.
They politely saluted to Grid and said.

“Earl Steim is looking for you.”

“Earl Steim? Lady Irene’s father?”

“Yes.”

“Oh? Okay! Let’s go!”

Why was the master of the north, one of the big powers in the Eternal Kingdom, looking for Grid? In the first place, it was strange that the high level NPC knight, famous for their arrogance, would act so respectfully towards a user.

Jishuka watched the knight and soldiers escort Grid from the smithy and asked.

“What is this?”

Vantner’s armor production request needed to be delayed for a while.
