“…Eh?”
I succeeded successively with the blessed enhancement stones. The blue aura of the Ideal Dagger became stronger. If Katz’ sword was like the sun, then the Ideal Dagger was a deep blue like the sea.
“Hah…! Hahahaha! Puhahaha!”

The attack power of a dagger, not a longsword or greatsword, was over 400. Thanks to the unexpected encounter with Katz, I succeeded in the enhancement and got a top-class weapon.
As I was feeling jubilant, Huroi entered the smithy. “My Liege! What happened with the raid?”
I looked at Huroi carefully and lied, “Um… unfortunately, the raid failed, so there are no items. I’m sorry about the result, despite your courageous sacrifice.”
In fact, the raid was successful. As a result, I obtained a lot of items. But I lied that the raid had failed. Why? I was concerned that Huroi would ask me to share the items if he knew the raid succeeded.
Huroi trembled after hearing the result. “It is because I was incompetent. Kuock… I will now leave to train! So that next time, I am able to help My Liege!”
“Y-Yes…”
Huroi left after making the oath, and I prepared to leave for Kesan Canyon.
“I have the Ideal Dagger as a weapon and Khan is making armor…”
I had the orc chief’s helmet. The only thing left was the creation of gauntlets and boots. I pulled out a hammer and started making the gauntlets and boots. Then two days later.

“Okay, this is perfect! I made an epic and rare item and got my stats, so should I go?”
I headed towards the Kesan Canyon without any delay. Then I arrived at Kesan Canyon. I recalled past memories as I looked at the canyon.
“I came here only to die, die and die…”
It was so terrible than Kesan Canyon kept appearing in my dreams. I experienced so much horror here. I would only be able to sleep by defeating Kesan Canyon.
“The monsters here are so weird…”
The monsters of Kesan Canyon were incredibly grotesque in both both their appearance and inclination. Among them, the ‘canyon spider’ was the one I remembered vividly.
‘The giant spider eats people alive. Uhh…’
The shock and horror of being trapped in a spider web and not able to move as the spider’s mouth neared me.
‘I’m glad that I didn’t feel myself being chewed because I died the moment my head entered its mouth…’
I shuddered at the memories of that time and cleared my mind.
“Stop wasting time on useless thoughts and find Pagma’s swordsmanship.”
In the past, I kept dying here.
“Now I am different! I will show you the power of items, you monsters! Revenge! Revenge!”
I cried out as I entered the canyon. But unlike my words, my body was trembling. The memories of the past made me very scared.

Hwiiiing~~
The wind blew through the curved walls that stretched as high as the sky. Small cuts burned my skin. The flow of the river was strong, and falling in it would make me drown.
It was a place that boasted more spectacular views than anywhere on Earth, Kesan Canyon. Never be deceived by outward appearances. As I explained several times, it was a very dangerous place.
I looked closely at the caves in the curved walls. I recalled the reason why I came here and looked at the quest information.
[Pagma’s Descendant]
Difficulty: Class quest.
You have certainly been given Pagma’s blacksmith skills.
But do you know exactly who Pagma is? Can you proudly carry out his will?
Who is Pagma? If he was simply a blacksmith with good skills, his legends wouldn’t be scattered across the continent.
First, start with the clue of the swordsmanship that pierced the sky and follow Pagma’s legend. If you can collect all of the legends, you will truly understand Pagma and succeed his will.
At that moment, a new legend will be born.

* The legendary class quest has the power to transform Satisfy’s world, according to the result.
Class Quest Clear Conditions: Complete all linked quests successfully.
Class Quest Clear Reward: Unknown.
* First Class Quest: [Pagma’s Swordsmanship.]
The person who witnessed Pagma’s swordsmanship 130 years ago has shown up and given you a clue.
If you head to Kesan Canyon to the south of Winston, you will find a clue to Pagma’s swordsmanship carved on a northern cliff.
* First Class Quest Clear Condition: Learn Pagma’s swordsmanship.
First Class Quest Clear Reward: Dainsleif (Reproduction).
[Dainsleif (Reproduction)]

* Additional damage equal to 10% of the target’s current defense will be dealt.

A work created by Albatino, the first human to receive the nickname of ‘craftsman before Pagma’s era. He attempted the reproduce the mythical weapon, Dainsleif.
It is far lacking compared to the original Dainsleif, but he succeeded in restoring some of its features, making it a masterpiece on its own.
It was acclaimed as a ‘masterpiece of human history’ by the founder of the Eternal Kingdom and king of the north, Loran.
The legendary blacksmith Pagma is said to have received g
reat inspiration from Albatino’s work.
User Restriction: Level 250 or higher. More than 1,800 strength. Intermediate Sword Mastery.
Weight: 1,580
While the Ideal Dagger had been strengthened to +8, it had a level limit of 180. Meanwhile, Dainsleif had a level limit of 250. Therefore, the basic performance of Dainsleif was bound to be better than that of the Ideal Dagger.
In addition, Dainsleif was a greatsword. My main weapon as a warrior was a greatsword, so I couldn’t help wanting Dainsleif. More than anything else, I wanted to learn Pagma’s swordsmanship as soon as possible.
“Pagma’s swordsmanship that allegedly pierced the sky… It is clearly a tremendous offensive skill. An offensive skill is what I require more.”
I had a clear sense of purpose and stepped forward to find the north cliff. How far did I walk?
Duk.
A small pebble fell from above him.
“Huh?”
I looked up and saw dust rising between the walls. I sensed it.
‘The enemy!’
The entrance of a cave was exposed as dirt was removed and a monster popped out. It was a giant lizard that reminded me of a dinosaur, but its tongue was sharper than any sword. I knew the identity of the lizard: a level 162 canyon lizard.
“Dammit!”
I was so strong now that I couldn’t be compared to my days as a warrior. I was at a level where I could fight the canyon lizard in front of me. But instincts were scary! In the past, I experienced that blade-like tongue piercing my heart. Then the canyon lizard descended the curved wall towards me at a tremendous speed.
“Aaaagh! Get lost! Please get lost!”
I begged to the canyon lizard. But god was never a merciful person.
“Kieek!”
The canyon lizard caught up to me and turned to the side, swinging its tail.
Kwaang!
I barely escaped the lizard’s tail and the huge rock was struck and shattered instead of me. I was hit in the head with a fragment of rock and started bleeding.
“This damn lizard… yes, fighting is inevitable! Blacksmith’s Rage! Wind Blast!”
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
A sharp wind flew towards the canyon lizard. But the force of Wind Blast was incredibly fierce. The moment that the blast of wind struck the canyon lizard, it shrieked in pain.
[You have dealt 1,230 damage to the target.]
“Wow.”
The canyon lizard was an aggressive and agile monster, but their defense was relatively low. Perhaps the canyon lizard’s defense was only slightly higher than that of the frostlight orcs. Still, the damage caused by Wind Blast was enormous. It meant that the power of Wind Blast was different compared to when I faced the frostlight orcs.
Indeed, it was natural when I thought about it. The dagger had been +0 when I hunted the frostlight orcs and now it was +8. The weapon attack power rose, so the skill damage would naturally rise as well.
“Good!”
I was no longer afraid of the giant lizard in front of me. Rather, it looked just like a frostlight orc.
“Unbreakable Justice!”
[You have dealt 12,507 damage to the target.]
“Kieeeek!”
It wasn’t a critical hit, but the damage was amazing! The canyon lizard twisted its body in pain, but the scary monster came back and attacked.
Peeok!
[You have suffered 2,019 damage.]
“Ugh!”
The tail struck from outside my field of vision and I became dizzy. I would’ve suffered tremendous damage if I wasn’t armed with the Frostlight Orc Chief’s Helmet and Khan’s Masterpiece.
‘Khan, thank you.’
Khan’s Masterpiece had an option that reduced damage from physical attacks by 20%. It boasted an outstanding defense against physical attacks. I felt thankful towards Khan for giving me this good armor for free. Then the lizard’s tongue flew accurately at my heart.
I puffed up.
“This damn lizard. I was already killed with the tongue once before and now you want to do the same thing again? Don’t think I will go quietly today! Quick Movements!”
My agility and evasion rate greatly increased, allowing me to approach the lizard’s jaw without difficulty and attack its tongue. Taking advantage of the situation, I then jumped up and stabbed the Ideal Dagger into its jaw.
[Critical!]
[The Ideal Dagger’s option effect is activated, instantaneously killing the target.]
“Kuee…eeehh…”
I killed the canyon lizard that appeared in my dreams and tormented me. The subject of fear was helpless in front of me, transforming into a grey light.
[You have defeated a canyon lizard.]
[9 gold has been acquired.]
[The canyon lizard’s tongue has been acquired.]
[329,000 experience has been acquired.]
“…Hah.”
I had to feel admiration.
“Isn’t this really great?”
No matter how high my stats were or the effect of the Ideal Dagger, I was a level 85 user who easily took care of a level 162 monster!
“This is the power of items!”
This was why people tried to buy good items.
“Kiooooh!”
New monsters emerged due to the noise from the battle. This time, the opponents were three lizardmen. I was outnumbered, but I didn’t back down. I knew that if I tried to run away, they would keep chasing and new monsters would emerge, eventually leading to me being surrounded by monsters.
“I can win. I will win!”
I hypnotized myself a few times. I swiftly avoided the attacks of the lizardmen with Quick Movements, used Blacksmith’s Rage, drank a mana potion and then used Unbreakable Justice.
Kwaang!
“Kiik!”
The lizardmen were also tough. The three of them blocked my attack with a shield, before counterattacking. Nevertheless, there was some confusion as they couldn’t absorb all the damage. I gained greater confidence after Wind Blast collapsed their formation.
Then I attacked using the gap where they were confused.
Puuok! Puk!
Blue light flashed from the Ideal Dagger every time a lizardman was wounded.
[You have dealt 2,600 damage to the target.]
[You have dealt 2,830 damage to the target.]
[The Best Gauntlets option effect is activated, causing you to attack the target twice.]
[You have dealt 5,705 damage to the target.]
“Kiyaaaaak!”
The canyon lizardmen had leather like the lizards and were armed with crude iron armor. The defense of the canyon lizardmen greatly exceeded that of the frostlight orcs. But these lizardmen screamed with every strike from my dagger.
I succeeded in defeating them shortly after the cooldown of Quick Movements and Blacksmith’s Rage was over.

Chapter 75
“Pant…pant…”
Two-thirds of my health was consumed when fighting the three lizardmen. I was completely drained of mana.
‘I only have four skills to use, but my mana is so lacking…’
Currently, I only had around 500 mana. Even though my mana recovery rate wasn’t slow, my mana was almost gone once I used my combat skills. I didn’t want to waste a mana recovery potion, so I sat down and rested. Once my health and mana were fully recovered, I got up again and started moving.
�
��If I catch two more mobs, I can level up.’
I no longer feared the monsters in the canyon. The monsters in the canyons were like clumps of experience, just like the frostlight orcs. But there was one monster that was the exception…
Tadak! Tadak! Tadadak.
A very bizarre and sinister stepping sound descended rapidly down the curved wall, approaching quickly. I hurriedly shifted my gaze and almost peed my pants as I saw the owner of the steps.
The huge spider, which was as large as two 15-ton trucks, was heading towards me.
“C-Canyon spider!”
The canyon spider was a top predator among the canyon monsters. It was level 180! Even the canyon lizards and lizardmen would be caught in its spider web and become prey. There was speculation that the monsters of the canyon lived in caves because they were protecting themselves from the canyon spider.
Such a big monster actually appeared in front of me.
“H-Hik…”
In the past, I had been trapped by the canyon spider and suffered a huge trauma. So now I had an allergy towards spiders. I got goosebumps and my legs couldn’t even stand up straight.
“Kikikik…”
The canyon spider made a strange sound and shot out a spider web. Then it ran down the web and stopped right in front of my nose.
“Aaaaaaack!”
The canyon spider’s head was incredibly small compared to its huge size. As soon as the head stopped right in front of me, the mouth of the spider opened wide and the sharp teeth revealed a threatening appearance.
I randomly swung my dagger in an attempt to resist. But the blind attack didn’t touch the body of the canyon spider. The canyon spider avoided my attack while hanging on the web, then fired a web towards me.
Swaeeek.
It was initially launched in cocoon form and spread 3m wide in less than a second. If the web draped over my body then I would become the prey of the canyon spider. I was well aware of this and desperately wanted to avoid the web, but I still couldn’t move because my legs were weak.
At that moment!
[A legend doesn’t feel fear easily.]
I was freed from the spider allergy and moved my body, avoiding the spider web. As I let out a sigh of relief, the spider looked at me like it was a trivial move. Then its onslaught started.
Syuk! Syuk!
Spider webs were shot out continuously, forming a fearsome net in the sky.
