A VIP as soon as you Log In-Chapter 327 - The Bearer (6)

Spiritual power didn’t have the power to hit things directly, but it was possible to forge the materials by hitting it with Breaker and spiritual power. A translucent hammer of five-colored light struck the chaotic metal that had emerged in front of Kang Shin-hyuk.

-Klang!

“That sounds good to hear.”

[Anvil!] 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

With Gaia’s scream, a bright light arrived in that world of darkness. Immediately, however, the darkness was pulled into the metal with the light.

-Klang!

[It’s absorbing all my light! Ah! Anvil, you, maybe!]

“The monsters aren’t springing up?”

“Is this... Is Anvil in control of the Chiral?”

“You mean the whole world?!”

Following Gaia, the other members quickly realized what was happening. Kang Shin-hyuk was forging the metal while using it as a medium to communicate with the Chiral.

-Klang!

Since Kang Shin-hyuk was using up all the magi in that world, new monsters wouldn’t appear, at least until his work stopped. Additionally, since a large number of magi was concentrated around him, even when Gaia exerted her power, it was all absorbed into the metal. It wasn’t exactly what Kang Shin-hyuk intended, but it was as natural as if the north and south polarities of a magnet stuck together.

-Klang!

Each time the hammer struck, the metal quickly changed its shape. There was no flame that could melt this metal, so there was no need for a furnace. Kang Shin-hyuk melted it using the reaction of the energy of darkness rising from the world and the light flowing from Gaia, striking it as those two energies collided and injecting his spiritual power and breaker energy into it. Now, no physical interference was needed. All it needed was a strong will to shape the metal and focus on revitalizing the energy. It was true All-craft. Kang Shin-hyuk had completely restored the state of his previous life and was trying to surpass it with a completely new way of forging.

-Klang!

Spirit and Breaker, light and darkness collided inside the metal. At first, it was little more than a lump of pure darkness, but now it had morphed into something resembling an elongated club. When he was working alone, he had been swept away because he couldn’t handle the malice of Abyssus and Despair.

-Klang!

Would the armament be completed just after a few more strikes? He could sense that the moment it was complete, he would no longer need to fear Gaia. However, Gaia seemed to notice that too.

-Klang!

[It’s a clever trick, Anvil. But I, too, am in charge of the whole world. You may be able to deal with Chiral yourself, but monsters born from Chiral will not do what you want...!]

“Oh, finally.”

Kang Shin-hyuk muttered to himself, and at that moment, the world opened up.

[Loki!]

[Kh...okay!]

That was no exaggeration. Like the small world where Gaia had stayed, there were suddenly innumerable gates opening in Jormungand’s home, which had been completely disconnected from other dimensions. Loki, who had control of Jormungand, was calling in the monsters that had spread to all other worlds by Gaia’s order.

“Gaia! Have you finally gone completely crazy?!”

“No, it’s an opportunity!”

Countless monsters were appearing. In that situation where even transcendental people couldn’t help but be confused, only Kang Shin-hyuk shone. He continued to use his hammer.

-Klang!

“Shu, bring in members through the gate!”

“Aha, okay!”

Opening the door to the outside meant they were prepared to welcome uninvited guests. Using that brief gap to communicate with the administrator, Shu summoned all Hero Universe members to that world. It’s not that it was possible to proceed so quickly just because the gate was open, but Shu could skip all the steps so long as the results were possible. As a result, beyond the limitations of the administrator’s ability, she could summon all the Hero Universe members at once.

-Klang!

“What is this?!”

“Dimensional quest? Why was it forced? Huh?”

“It’s a monster!”

In fact, most of the Hero Universe members were talented members of their worlds, but they didn’t know the deep secrets of Jormungand of the Hero Universe. But, they were part of the Hero Universe’s outer purpose- to be the heroes of justice that eagerly killed the monsters of Jormungand.

-Klang!

“Everyone fight back the monsters!”

“We’re here at Jormungand’s home? Fight! Kill them all!”

“Haaaah!

Wouldn’t it be fatal to bring them into a world of monsters? Even though they weren’t VIPs, most of them had statuses that had reached the current limit (SSS+) or were just slightly below it. They were the right level to deal with the general monsters, and many of them had talents or skills that were superior to even his ability, so there were cases that they were superior to VIP members in massacring monsters.

-Klang!

“What, the sound of hammering from before...”

“Oh, are you Anvil? It’s Anvil!”

“The power of Anvil flows into us. What? Wasn’t he just a blacksmith?”

“Anyway, it’s a good chance to acquire a lot of HP!”

And, most of those members had weapons Kang Shin-hyuk had made. The hundreds of members could soon feel their abilities and their armaments amplified by Kang Shin-hyuk.

[Kh...!]

If you were a member of the Hero Universe, it was natural to be hostile to monsters. So, Gaia couldn’t say anything in the current situation. Kang Shin-hyuk, Tsukuyo, and Shu were quite the celebrities in the Hero Universe, and the members who recognized them and accepted the buffs from Kang Shin-hyuk quickly established a center around them.

-Klang!

If Gaia, the one who summoned those monsters, confessed her identity there, who would treat her as a god? So, she quieted down and stepped back a little. Instead, it was Loki, who was now a giant.

[The number of members has increased too much. I figured I needed to reduce it!]

Some of the monsters pouring out were being absorbed into Loki. It wasn’t a complicated or intensive process like Kang Shin-hyuk’s forging work, but rather it was a violent act that absorbed the monsters through the Chiral embedded in Loki’s body. However, it had a simple and dramatic effect that resulted in Loki’s height growing more than three or four times.

“Monster?!”

“Huh, huh...”

Loki’s transformation had one other consequence. It was pressing down on Janus’s energy, which was struggling to suppress the magi inside her. It began to react like crazy, trying to consume her.

-Klang!

“Hold up a little more, Janus.”

“Anvil...!”

“Junior!”

“Shin-hyuk?!”

It was then that Lee Na-hee and Eleanor appeared. Perhaps it was set in the order in which members joined, as they appeared last. But, in fact, Kang Shin-hyuk was also waiting for this moment.

“Na-hee senior, welcome.”

“Now that I’m graduating, call me noona, not senior... Wow, what are you doing during this uproar?”

-Klang!

They had heard a rough explanation from the administrator, so they had come with fierce determination, but the sight of him forging metal alone while a battle raged on around him was too surreal.

“Attach a rune quickly!”

“Oh, I see. Let’s do it!”

Despite this, Lee Na-hee approached with a smug look of superiority and satisfaction, seeing that he needed her help. Eleanor, on the other hand, joined the fray quickly. Loki, who was absorbing monsters and gaining power and mass on the way, was running in a straight line toward Kang Shin-hyuk, ignoring everything else.

-Klang!

“Everyone, stop Loki!”

“We just have to hold him back until the weapon is complete!”

[VIP members can’t even fight me now! I’ll explain later, so behave yourself!]

Loki swung the giant scythe that grew to match his size. Everything that was in its path suffered a curse that decayed and weakened all.

[Come on, come on, come on, come on!]

“Cheh!”

“No, step back.”

It was difficult for the other VIP members to deal with him one-on-one, so that the general members couldn’t have done much more. The scythe gave off a terrible light as it moved through the air, but the paths it carved didn’t disappear as they moved along the flow of magi, inflicting additional blows on the members. They screamed out in pain as their armor and weapons were corroded, and their limbs were cut off. It was good that Eleanor managed to block the scythe with her spear, but she couldn’t withstand the power difference and was forced back.

A second later, a huge wolf flying in from the side bit the scythe.

[Lokiiiiiii!]

[Mirang, will it be okay if you look away? There are Cycatus and Ascaldin.]

[Ha, there are members here too.]

However, it was true that the situation was disadvantageous. Janus couldn’t move at all while enduring the magi’s impulse, and Shu was on the verge of retiring due to the excessive use of her abilities. Horus couldn’t keep Ascaldin in check, and Tsukuyo was creating foxfires to find Cycatus in the shadows.

-Klang!

“Trust me, Anvil!”

“Thank you, Miyang.”

Miyang, a small fairy with a delicate appearance but a master of magic and bow. The fairy hovered over his head and intercepted anything that came near with arrows made of mana. As Miyang was the closest to Kang Shin-hyuk, they were the ones obtaining the biggest buff, going far beyond their original ability. If there were a reason that Gaia’s calculations were wrong, the most critical issue was that she hadn’t considered his buff ability.

-Klang!

[Huh...! I can’t help it!]

The moment she was convinced it would go wrong if left to the others, Gaia finally revealed her true colors.

[Would you like to test how much light I have, Anvil!]

“Ahhhhh?!”

There was no sound, but Kang Shin-hyuk couldn’t describe the moment in any other words than it was like a bomb exploded. The light converged, condensing into an ultimate point, with the determination to destroy the metal he was holding. The light flowed in with nothing to stop it... As Gaia had anticipated, it would cause a terrible explosion that couldn’t be controlled.

-Klang!

Kang Shin-hyuk, having suffered a terrible blow, knelt down.

-Klang!

However, the hammer was controlled by his will and his spirit power and Breaker, regardless of his body.

-Klang!

“Alright, junior!”

Lee Na-hee, safe thanks to him receiving the light strikes (Although she was blinded, that could be recovered with products sold on the trading board), let out a scream of joy.

“Whoo! Yes, that’s it.”

[This... No!]

Kang Shin-hyuk, breathing weakly on his knees, raised his head with a small smile. A bastard sword slowly floated in front of him. Light and darkness mingled inside it, harmony in chaos, with a shape that ordinary people couldn’t even recognize.

The finished sword was floating there after attracting all the monsters and transcendentals in the universe.
