*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Fabio and Herman were busy hammering .
The mega sculptures were being urgently repaired, but their work was far from finished .

“Oh, no . It will be too late!”
“Even if we are unable to produce this armor on time, I think Weed will still be able to pull through on his own . ”
They were building armor as master blacksmiths with the metal of God, Helium .
Through Weed’s adventure, Essen Porat’s skin and heart brought by Yurin, a Rank 1 Mana Crystal, the Iron Mace of Gratorgue, the Metal of Ruin, and even the tears of a dragon were mixed together at an optimum ratio .

“Though they’re almost too good to use… this is about making the very best work . ”
“I’ll open the last stores”
The two blacksmiths brought out rare minerals they had saved up until the last minute .
– Narok’s Crystal
– The Horn of Fortune
– Hell Star fragment
– The False God’s Scythe
– Deep Earth Lava .
The rank 1 rare blacksmiths brought out all their materials and cooperated in making the protective gear .

“We can’t be ignored by Weed . The humiliation from that time was something I had never felt before in my life . ”
“Yes . You’re right . Old man . Let’s show him a work that will blow Weed away . ”
Complaints about Weed!
They made boots from the hide and feathers of a Pegasus, and a helmet laced with unbreakable gems .

“The armor is the key . ”
“Of course . Weed will probably be very particular . ”
“I can’t be disregarded again . This armor will enable him to move quickly, will be comfortable for activities, and it won’t weigh him down . ”
“We must equip it with unprecedented defensive power . ”
“I’m thinking about something more than a medium armor . ”
“Yes . We’ll need to combine the materials well to get a lot of options; very special and rare options . ”
“Though it’s difficult we’ll have to manage . ”
Fabio and Herman were master swordsmiths .
They used to think the sword was a symbol of strength .
In reality, making armor took a lot more effort and was a more difficult task .

“No matter what, we need to finish before the war is over . ”
“Of course . ”
Fabio and Herman worked together on their honor and pride as blacksmiths .
– It’s not much .
They should never hear these words spoken by Weed again .

All the attributes were prepared to fix all the stats and options with a focus on defense .

“Infuse it with beauty as well . ”
“We should insert the star fragment well . ”
Just as the two blacksmiths were finishing their work .

– Weed: Old man Fabio . The armor is going well, right? It’s running a bit late .

It was a strangely abrasive yet polite voice .

“Keuheum . It’s almost finished . ”
– Weed: This battle is coming to an end as well . But Bard Ray is coming .
“We know too . ”
– Weed: I want to use it when I fight Bard Ray . It seems like a good opportunity for your armor to shine .
“I’ll send it right away because it’s as perfect as can be . We have made a piece that is worthy of the pride we feel from being given the Helium . ”

Fabio and Herman were feeling proud of themselves .
Their labor had been painful and hard .
There was a lot of trial and error, but they still managed to create the best armor, a masterpiece they could truly be proud of .
– Sky Ruler Armor Set .
If Weed were to fight in this armor, everyone would know who the best blacksmiths are .

‘But weren’t we already the best?’
‘What? How did it come to this?’

They finished the job and looked for any flaws .
Unlike the many swords they made, they felt an attachment to the armor as if it was their child .

– Weed: Also, please fit it for me .
“Oh, don’t worry . It will be very comfortable . It will fit well . ”
– Weed: I’d like it in the form of Karichwi the Orc .
“Orc? And that of Karichwi?”

When he transformed into Karichwi the Orc, he was much bigger than a human .

– Weed: I’ll transform into Karichwi when I fight Bard Ray .
“Why are you telling me that now…”
– Weed: So, get it done quickly .

Fabio thought .

‘Weed, is he actually a bad guy?’

The Hermes Guild was polite when they made requests, but the way he was giving orders left and right made him bossy .

‘I wonder if it would have been better to stay with the Haven Empire…’

A moment of deep regret passed by .

– Weed: If I beat Bard Ray, it would be due to both of you .
“Due to us?”
– Weed: Yes . If I interview with each station, your names and help will be the first thing I will talk about .
“Keuheuhum . It’s not that big of a deal . ”

Fabio was about to refuse to save face but looked at Herman and saw him shake his head in a hurry .
Old men .
In their situation, their desire for fame was greater than anything else .
Although they refused, they were eager to make it not seem like a genuine refusal .
Fabio spoke in a hurry just in case .

“We’ll be thankful if you don’t forget our help . ”
– Weed: Yes . By the way, you can adjust the size to human form after the sculptural transformation, right?
“Of course . Huhhuh . No problem . ”

Bard Ray and the Haven Empire’s elite corps arrived at the Garnav Plains .
They were the core users of the Hermes Guild, which had grown since they started in the Haven region .

“Battle formation!”
“Everyone ready for battle!”

Half a million elite troops spread out over a wide area and advanced, with Northern users backing off without fighting .

“What’s this? Don’t you want to fight?”
“It’s a good thing if they’re scared of us . ”

The Northern users had always been brave, but now they were stepping back .

“They’re running away, let’s kill them all!”

Boemong shouted with a loud voice .

“Wipe them all out!”

The knights were sent ahead, before the Haven Empire troops, to rush to the front and fight .
A slightly short but pretty female user walked out in front of them .
Among the users of the Grass Porridge Church, there were no strangers to the name of Saint Lemon .

“I’ve come to give you all a message from Weed-nim . ”

She was a confident woman even standing in front of the great army of the Haven Empire .
There was nothing visible because her level was low .

“What’s going on?”

Royal Guard Arakhim advanced while riding on a horned demonic creature . The demonic creature Kenon had a level of over 600 and his strength was such that he could easily destroy a city gate, or even a knight at a similar level .

“Weed-nim is challenging Bard Ray to a one-on-one fight . ”

A commotion was made inside as soon as Lemon spoke .

“A fight?”
“One-on-one?”
“My god . Is he mad? Weed and Bard Ray alone?”

The Hermes Guild members thought Bard Ray’s victory was natural .
It seemed reckless for Weed to ask for a duel, but much more so because the Arpen Kingdom had the advantage; there was no reason .

“What the hell is he trying to do?”
“Is his plan to drag him inside and surprise attack him?”

“He’d be severely condemned for that… there’s no reason for that . ”

Lemon grinned and spoke .

“Everyone . There’s no conspiracy here . In other words, Weed-nim doesn’t want to let anyone else defeat Bard Ray, he wants to do it himself . ”
“…”

The Hermes Guild members kept their mouths shut .
Hurting their pride was a secondary problem, and it was hard for them to control how to react to this good fortune .
They thought they would win the battle, but now that they were here they had lost a lot of confidence .
The battle would be much easier if Bard Ray defeated Weed .

Northern users .
Since Weed was at the core of the Arpen Kingdom, if he was done away with, they would be sheeps without a shepherd .

*Ttagak ttagak*

Bard Ray rode his horse towards Lemon . He was equipped with the best equipment on the continent and rode a silver-white horse that shined like jewelry .
Stuart, a warhorse descended from the renowned Lindlin steeds of the past .

“Did Weed really ask me to fight?”
“Yes . He said he is waiting at the fight location . I will guarantee your safety the whole way there in the name of the Grass Porridge Cult . ”

Every Hermes Guild member and Northern user in the room was watching Bard Ray to decide .
Bard Ray raised his hand .

“I will accept the duel . Everyone, advance . ”

The Haven Empire troops advanced through the open path as the users stepped aside .

The officials at KMC media and the other stations were startled .

“A fight like this decided so suddenly?”
“Yes . This will be a huge publicity stunt . ”

Weed and Bard Ray!
Ratings were soaring at the news that a duel would take place to decide who was the strongest on the Versailles Continent .

“Finally! It’s time for the viewers to decide who is the strongest on the continent . ”
“There are a lot of rankers, but I haven’t seen Bard Ray’s stronghold . The same goes for Weed . Bard Ray has never lost a battle in hunting or battles with users . ”
“To be precise, Weed has lost to Bard Ray before in the Melbourne Mines . But it has been a long time since then . ”
“Yes . At that time, there were assessments that it was a very disadvantageous fight for him . ”

Oh Joo-wan reviewed the materials reported in real time .
Apart from the Hermes Guild, almost every user on the Versailles continent was on the side of the Arpen Kingdom .
The Grass Porridge Cult, the Frontier Spirit, Saeroeum .
The victory of the Arpen Kingdom was sealed if there was no unexpected change in their power to attract the people .

“With the power balance out of proportion, the battle may end quickly depending on the outcome of this fight . ”
“I don’t think the Northern users will collapse even if Weed loses . But the Haven Empire would quickly collapse . ”
“Because Bard Ray is the strongest in the Hermes Guild, a defeat would have a huge impact . ”
“But can you kill Bard Ray? The armor he is wearing is Legendary tier, near the tier of the apostles of God . ”
“Yes . If you watch combat videos of Bard Ray, there are no flaws to point out . High offense and defense . And he has mastered all of the best skills with perfect form . ”

“Weed is quick and bold . He is keen and does not miss a single moment, having an extraordinary ingenuity . Still, it remains to be seen whether he can be safe from Bard Ray’s spear and shield . ”
The studio was filled with enthusiasm as the Haven Empire forces advanced to the battleground that was being built on the Garnav Plains .

“But why on earth did Weed suggest a showdown first?”
Oh Joo-wan spoke in wonder .
Famous users from the Central and Northern continents attended the event on a panel, but they too were unable to guess what had happened .

“The way we see it, the Arpen Kingdom was in a situation with a great advantage . It’s a fight you don’t have to go out in person . ”
“Weed was known for not making reckless judgments . ”
“Could it be revenge? He had died once to Bard Ray . ”
“Would he take such a simple emotion like that to this big battlefield? Winning a war should be revenge enough . ”
“It’s honor! He needs the honor of beating him with his own hands to unify the Versailles continent . ”
“You have a point . But he could still lose, to take that kind of risk…”
Everyone spoke their opinion, but nothing was conclusive .
Oh Joo-wan and Do Chan-mi’s gaze headed toward Shin Hye-min, who was sitting next to them .
They assumed that she would know what was going on since she had gone on adventures with Weed and she was close to him .
Shin Hye-min thought hard and spoke hesitantly .

“Uh… umm . I’m not sure . Could it be that Weed-nim’s purpose is his desire for gear?”
“Gear?”
Oh Joo-wan opened his eyes wide at the entirely new angle .
Every user was paying attention to the fight on the Garnav Plains that would decide the battle .
Honor, revenge, what could be his intention . Gear!

“Bard Ray has been nicknamed the Godly Warrior . He has a lot of top-class equipment among the users . ”
“Yes, because he is the emperor of the Haven Empire . ”
Broadcast stations had covered Bard Ray’s equipment on numerous occasions .
He was famous for changing his best equipment every week and month .
There was a system where Bard Ray would use equipment from the Hermes Guild even if there was already an owner and would return it once he got something better .

“Weed-nim isn’t someone who would be driven by just revenge . ”
“Revenge isn’t the reason?”
“Even if he wanted revenge, he would have given up if it turned a loss . Even he if pays back a grudge, Weed’s way is to make a profit or surplus . ”
Shin Hye-min’s firm remarks left other hosts and participants unable to speak .
Is there any more complex human being in the world?
He seems to be a great adventurer yet is stingy, a war genius yet a master sculptor .
He was undoubtedly someone who would seek revenge, but also had a rational personality that would give up if there was no economic feasibility .
Do Chan-mi shouted as if he knew .

“Warrior Bard Ray has never died! He’s notorious for being a murderer, so if he dies, there will be a lot of gear…”
“If we sell that gear, it would be Godly Warrior Bard Ray’s limited edition . We could get whatever price we ask . ”
