Chapter 377 – 377. God’S Atlantis
377. God’s Atlantis
「The World Leaf (Pseudo) remembers you.」
I missed Sleipnir.
In my head, I thought it was a relief. If Sleipnir had been determined to fight me, there was a high probability that I would have died.
‘…Well, judging by the Sky Lord’s reaction, it seems like he would have helped me along the way.’
「The Sky Lord clicks his tongue briefly.」
The Sky Lord didn’t blame me. He knew it too. That I wasn’t strong enough to face Sleipnir yet.
Rather, it was Sleipnir, not the Sky Lord, that I should be worried about.
Sleipnir remembered me. I attacked first, so there was no way he would remember me in a good way.
‘I’ve made an enemy of a troublesome guy.’
Sleipnir has the ability to travel through all sorts of areas. No matter which area I go to in the future, I’ll have to watch my back.
I took a quick look around. There might be a special reason why Sleipnir came here. But no matter how much I looked around, there was nothing special. In the end, I just wasted time and returned to the Iron Root Village.

“The reforging of the Hwaryeon Flying Blade is complete.”
Damon came to find me. He placed the Hwaryeon Flying Blade on the table.
The straight, red blade looked the same as before, except that it seemed to be sparkling today. The black hilt was also the same as when I saw it before.
“Has something changed?”
“It has changed a lot. You’ll know if you look at the essence of the sword, not its appearance.”
“I don’t have that level of skill yet…”
I didn’t have the eye of a master craftsman. No matter how much I looked, I couldn’t feel anything unusual.
“Check the information of the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. You can see the information window, unlike before.”
Originally, the Hwaryeon Flying Blade was not from the ‘God’s Atlantis’ world, so it was impossible to bring up the information window. However, it seems that it has been recognized by the system during this reforging process, and it is now possible to bring up the information window.
「Hwaryeon Flying Blade
A sword made using the scales of a fire dragon.
It is harder than any steel, and the sharpness of the blade does not dull.
It has the ability to enhance attributes when equipped.
It has acquired anti-magic power through the reforging process.
Rank: SS」
“SS Rank?!”
“Haha. Is that what surprises you? Well, I was a little surprised too. If you read the information window, it should be S rank… but it received a higher rank.”
“Is it because of the anti-magic power? What level of anti-magic power is it?”
Anti-magic power.
A power that opposes evil and demons, slightly different from divine power. Even if the user uses demonic power, anti-magic power, unlike divine power, does not repel it.
“I just brought it right after the reforging, so I don’t know either. Shouldn’t the owner test the sword’s performance?”
I nodded happily. This is my weapon. As the owner, I wanted to test it myself.
I jumped up from my seat.
“Are you going to the Ironwood Forest?”
“Yes. There are banshees there, so it’s the perfect environment to test anti-magic power.”
“I thought you would. But do you have any more holy water?”
“Holy water?”
“The holy water you gave me. It was more effective than ordinary holy water… It was perfect for making something. I want to get a lot of that holy water if possible. Do you have more?”
I was surprised by the effect of the holy water. I thought holy water only had the effect of glowing faintly when applied to the body.
‘Holy water is 2 points per bottle… One bottle is cheap, but it’s a different story when it comes to dozens of bottles. And I need to collect points, so where do I have the leeway to use it on holy water?’
I shook my head.
“I’m sorry. What I had was only what I gave you last time.”
“Then can you tell me where you got that holy water?”
“I got it from a gacha.”
“Ah.”
Damon nodded and understood.
In this world, you could use AP to do gacha at special stores.
“But that holy water was very interesting. I didn’t expect the effect to be different every time I used a bottle.”
“…Different? Wasn’t it just glowing faintly?”
“It did glow. I was surprised at first, but it didn’t do any harm. Besides, water suddenly came out of the sword, so I failed the reforging once. No one expected the anti-magic effect to come out.”
“Random, huh…”
I felt a little disappointed.
•••
I swung the Hwaryeon Flying Blade at the banshee. I didn’t create any sword energy or lightning, I just swung it using pure strength.
Kkyaaaaak!
The banshee, hit by the sword, screamed and disappeared. It was because of the anti-magic power of the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. It was much more effective than I thought. With this level of anti-magic power, I could understand why the Hwaryeon Flying Blade was SS rank.
‘That’s not all. The attribute enhancement has also become stronger.’
I created lightning in my left hand. It was red lightning, not blue.
Before, I could only use Red Lightning by creating lightning through the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. Red Lightning was powerful, but it had the disadvantage of being difficult to control.
‘But now I can use Red Lightning and Blue Lightning as I want.’
Pajijijik.
The red lightning turned blue as I wanted. Compared to Red Lightning, the power was weaker, but I could control it almost perfectly.
‘I can use Red Lightning and Blue Lightning alternately when I need it!’

“It’s hard to put on armor by yourself, but this is designed so that you can put it on by yourself. But it’ll still be hard to put on by yourself, so ask someone else to put it on for you if possible.”
With the help of Damon and the dwarves, I put on the silver full plate armor I had ordered. It was heavy yet sleek, just as I wanted, and it looked cool.
‘But it’s stuffy with the helmet on. There’s no mouth area, and the eye area is small. It restricts my vision, but… I can cover that with my other senses.’
When I lifted the face guard, my face was revealed.
I looked at myself in the mirror and checked the information of the full body armor.
「Ermita
Armor made by the dwarves of the Iron Root Tribe with all their might. It is hard yet light.
It has resistance to attributes.
It is designed to be human-friendly and does not restrict movement.
There is a hidden blade in the gauntlet part.
Rank: S」
“The hidden blade you wanted is made so that the blade comes out from the wrist when you clench your fist twice quickly.”
I followed Damon’s words.
Clank!
Sharp blades, 50cm long, popped out from both gauntlets.
“Oh, oh!”
I was impressed by the longer-than-expected blades. Looking at the blades, it seemed like they had a double structure.
I created mana and made sword energy on both blades. The blue sword energy was dazzling.
“Rissa Ssu!”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?!”
“It’s nothing. I was so happy that I misspoke.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
I then received the sword and cloak. The sword looked similar to a bastard sword when looking at its appearance.
「Ermita’s Sword
A sword made of ironwood.
It is light and hard. It does not break easily.
Rank: B」
“This is unexpected.”
Damon’s face was dark.
“We also know that the quality is not as good as the armor. If you give us another week, we will make it again.”
“No. It’s okay. It’s not like B-rank swords are common.”
Actually, my real purpose for coming here was not the armor and sword, but the cloak.
「Ermita’s Cloak
A cloak made by transforming the properties of ironwood into fibers.
It has excellent durability and does not get dirty easily.
It has high cold resistance.
Rank: A」
“The cloak is made excellently!”
“It’s not as good as the armor, but it has the effect you wanted. Even if the north wind blows, you will feel warm if you equip this cloak.”
“Oh, oh! Thank you!”
“I hope you use it well. Are you leaving right away?”
“Yes. But I want to test its performance on the way.”
“It’s almost instinctive to want to use new things when you get them. Test it out on the Temongkeys in the forest outside the area on your way.”
“Yes. I will. Do you need any other rewards?”
“We just carried out the Duke’s orders. And we still have more than 50 boxes of the beer you gave us, so what more could we want? Go back safely. Oh, and please give our regards to the Duke.”
I had everything I needed.
Damon didn’t know, but I had been trading with the dwarves. A trade of beer for weapons. The beer I had was hard to find anywhere, so the dwarves readily exchanged it for beer. 50 boxes of beer? That’s a joke. I used at least 3,000 boxes of beer here.
I made eye contact with the dwarves behind me. They each took at least 70 boxes of beer, and they looked very happy.
“Hehehe! Come back again later!”
“We’ll be waiting!”
“I’m already worried about beer now that you’re leaving!”
“Glory to Duke Baldert! Blessings to Sung Yoo-jin!”
I said goodbye as they saw me off.
“I’ll come back again someday.”
How much profit can I make with the weapons I get here? Just thinking about it makes me excited.
•••
Ukik~!
A brown monkey monster with a bird’s head, a Temongkey, threw a rock at me.
A fastball at the level of a major leaguer hit my head. But the helmet didn’t even dent, let alone scratch. The impact was also minimal. It was like being hit with a toy hammer.
‘Acceleration.’
I grabbed ‘Ermita’s Sword’ and rushed towards the Temongkey. The Temongkey on the tree was startled and started to run away, jumping to another tree.
I chased after it using mana and acceleration. There was no way I wouldn’t catch it.
I caught up to the Temongkey and swung my sword with all my might.
Chwaaak!
The Temongkey fell to the ground, bleeding.
‘The sharpness isn’t as good as the Hwaryeon Flying Blade… but because it’s heavy, the feeling of cutting through a monster is more vivid.’
It wasn’t bad.
If I wear the armor and equip this sword, there will be some restrictions when using the Yeongcheon Style, but the advantage of the armor makes up for the disadvantages. When wearing armor, I don’t have to worry about the small things.
‘It feels like I’ve become a tank. It would be perfect if I had a fancy horse.’
I hunted the Temongkeys. Sometimes with the gauntlet’s blade, sometimes without using weapons, I killed the Temongkeys with my bare hands while only wearing the armor.
The Temongkeys couldn’t hurt me at all. The Temongkey’s attacks couldn’t even scratch the S-rank armor. It felt like I was hunting with a cheat code.
Kooong! Koong!
I heard the sound of large footsteps. I turned around. It was a troll over 5 meters tall. Thick, long, flat legs and a blunt head with no hair. The dark green skin was so tough that it couldn’t be damaged by most blades.
The troll was rushing towards me, excited. It seems that the smell of the Temongkey’s blood had lured the troll.
I can’t just ignore the troll now. But it’s not impossible to hunt it either.
‘Okay. Let’s kill this guy and leave the forest.’
Clank!
The blade popped out of the gauntlet. Blue sword energy formed on the blade, blazing.
“My life for Bozi!”
I rushed towards the troll. It stretched out a hand as thick as a log to grab me. I stepped on its hand, ran up its arm, and arrived in front of its head.
“Kaaaak!”
I stabbed the sword into both of its eyes. It twisted its body and hit me. I fell to the ground, rolled once, got up, and rushed at the troll again.
The troll, having lost its eyes, was thrashing wildly. I moved more carefully, dodging its attacks, and rushed at it, stabbing it with the gauntlet blade. Because I had sword energy, I could easily cut through its tough skin.
Koong!
The bloodied troll knelt on the ground. I didn’t miss the opportunity and cut off the troll’s neck. Even a troll with great regenerative power had to die if its neck was cut off.
「You have acquired 110 AP.」
I lifted the face guard and took a deep breath of cool air. The cold air cooled my body heat.
Whoooosh.
The wind blew, fluttering my red cloak.
I felt a sense of regret.
‘A beauty should be watching this cool explosion of a scene….’
