Blacksmith Assassin The Loser
Right before Zeke’s victory, these are the events that happened within the black smoke that he released. He made his way towards Caster. Intending to take down the dark elf with one shot. But, unlike what he imagined, the said dark elf isn’t that easy to beat. Not in the slightest bit.As he went for the stab, the head of the dark elf tilted towards him. This made Zeke wary all of a sudden. Forcing him to change the point where he is to attack and, as soon as this hesitation jumped in, Caster is able to close the gap between them as well. The dark elf forced his eyes to open even in that painful black smoke.Even with just a tiny opening in his eyes, Caster is able to launch a powerful forward thrust. Going straight towards Zeke which would’ve been lethal as well. That is, if not for the fact that the accuracy of the dark elf is greatly decreased. With the eyes of this dark elf not being fully opened, he isn’t able to strike with utmost proficiency and, Zeke used this to launch his bo
Blacksmith Assassin Methods and Means
Zeke lost.After five minutes passed, Zeke is unable to take down the two opponents that are pitted against him. Though he didn’t find any difficulty taking down Caster when he fought the dark elf one on one, now that there is a ranged attacker adding to the mix, this changes altogether.Zeke is hit early on and, the momentum of his enemies only continued increasing after that point. Even though Zeke has yet to show all of his cards in that fight, it is still not enough for him to gain the upper hand. Everything he tried after Aries stepped in is negated. All of his effort is wasted and, he is left in a pitiful state where his shoulder and leg have been wounded to the point that, he easily became prey to the two dark elves.There are other tricks that he wanted to use but, Zeke decided not to let these out just yet. After all, some of the materials in his arsenal cannot be duplicated that easily. The very same reason why he’s only relying on the smoke bombs in that fight. These are, a
Blacksmith Assassin Understanding Opponents
There are a couple of things that Zeke confirmed from the first fight against the two dark elves. First is that, they are good as a combination. Though he can take one of the two down by himself, this feat cannot be done when there are two enemies instead. As it stands, when there are two of them, their strength also multiplies exponentially. Not just twofold but, probably even threefold. That is why Zeke had a hard time taking them down. He overestimated himself and his own capacities and he paid a hefty price for it.That being said, all of this has now passed. Zeke has learned his lesson the hard way. But now that he has, there is no way that he will lose anymore. Not by any long shot. Not in the slightest bit. Though this idea doesn’t run similarly in the heads of his opponents.With the performance that he displayed earlier, he’s sure that they are already looking down on him a little. They are now thinking that Zeke is a lot weaker than they initially thought of him to be. Tho
Blacksmith Assassin Surprises
The fight began and broke out with Zeke making the first move. The hero of Forge didn’t waste any time and closed the gap between him and his two opponents. Using up his [Lethal Tempo] in order to do so as quickly as possible. But, it seems that this effort is wasted because, right as soon as he finished making his move and, right before he can even attack, Aries is already poised to strike him.Normally, this would make anyone shocked. It would be easy to see someone unable to react to something like this. But this rule doesn’t apply to Zeke because, unlike a normal human, Zeke knows what he’s doing. And part of this knowledge is that the enemies that he currently has are going to be able to react to him…just as he expected.“Perfect.”As soon as Zeke said this word, black smoke spread across the whole battlefield. With this came an arrow that is fired and has also hit his shoulder. Piercing right through it and digging its way through his flesh. The pain is enough to stop Zeke from
Blacksmith Assassin Intensify
“My queen.”“Ah. Sylph, just the elf that I wanted to see.” The queen of the elves sat on her high throne.The distance between her and the elf she’s talking to is far enough for her to snipe Sylph. It’s far enough for her to kill Sylph without taking any damage. Though there is no need to do something like that because, there is no reason to. Sylph is her most trusted ally after all. And, more than that, Sylph is her secret lover. One who has been secretively making love with the hero of their kingdom behind her back.“We’ve just finished the other part of the hero’s training.” Sylph bowed down. A sign of both respect and formality.Even the queen’s lover needs to show this much reverence if there are guard elves that are watching nearby. They need to be formal. Not their usual way of speaking but, one that doesn’t bother them nevertheless.“So it would seem.” The queen responded in an indifferent tone. “She’s killed plenty of our human slaves. We don’t have enough now to go around.
Blacksmith Assassin The End
Zeke’s training continued on for quite some time. We are now using the term training because that is precisely what happened shortly after the fight resumed. The hero had the upper hand slightly taken when he was able to launch the ten smokes that scattered across the battlefield. This negated the spell that Caster just used to wipe away the smoke and, even increased it to the point of zero visibility.Zeke also launched a couple more tricks that he still has up his sleeve. He didn’t just stop with this and continued on to as many as he could do. Forcing situations to happen as he tried his best to maintain his advantage against his enemies. But none of that mattered. Five minutes passed without him getting any solid victory and, as this happened, the final dark elf entered the scene. And with the three dark elves working together, it didn’t even take a whole minute for Zeke to be absolutely destroyed. Over and over again, the fights restarted. There are a total of three repetitions
Blacksmith Assassin Meeting
The following day, before the sun could rise over the horizon, Sylvia found herself going to the front of the castle. There she is met by the flames brought about by the three dark elves who are working to escort the hero of the forge. All three of them wearing black robes that are made from materials only the dark elves know of. Making them almost invisible in the dead of night for those who do not know how to get through the illusion of these cloaks.“Alright, it seems that everyone is here.” Sylvia began as an introduction.However, her statement is far from being true. Not everyone is there. In fact, the vital part of this mission, the one who is the very essence of it, is still missing. That’s right. Zeke is nowhere to be seen, making one of the three elves raise her hand to ask a question.“Lady Sylvia, where is Lord Zeke?” Aries began. “He doesn’t seem to be with you.”“Our dear hero said he needed to drop by the forge one more time. It seems that the three of you gave him an i
Blacksmith Assassin Travel
When Zeke arrived into the scene, he brought with him a stillness. This isn’t the same kind of impact that he created when he stepped into the fight of the three dark elves in the arena. No. This is different. Far different. After all, he isn’t making any sort of special effect to this entrance of his. Zeke merely walked towards the center. Right at the side of where Sylvia is and, as soon as his presence is made known, the female dark elf also began to step aside. Moving to the side and giving the center to the hero of the Forge.“Everyone seems to be here already.” Zeke began as he looked around. There isn’t much for his eyes to gaze at. Only the three dark elves and their respective horses. That which they will ride on their way to the elven kingdom.These horses have armor placed over them. Not heavy ones that would burden the beasts but, rather, enchanted ones. Allowing the horses to run faster and be able to last longer on the journey. Not only this but the armor actually does

The Final Order
Elves have been called out to the middle of the barracks. To be exact, these are the soldier elves that are made to line up there and not speak a single word. Though this kind of command never works the way it’s intended if there are no commanding officers taking charge of the whole ordeal.The elves are lined up but there is nobody giving them orders. As such, it is only natural because of the level of boredom that they’re experiencing, for them to begin murmuring among themselves. Using as low of a tone as possible to do this so as to make sure that they do not attract any unwanted attention. And, this is one of the conversations going around in this place.“Hey, why are we called here? Do you guys have a clue?” The first elf asked the one beside him. On the line at his right and standing at the same position as he. That being said, the ones in front of them are their buddies and friends so these soldiers don’t mind that some talking is going on.“You idiot. Are you living under a r
Changes Approaching
The fight between Sylvia and Herald set off this way. All of the bystanders witnessed how sparks flew in the air. Mixed with afterimages after afterimages of these two great fighters. There is no doubt in everyone’s mind, after the first two minutes, that these two are going toe to toe. Impressing them even more especially considering that one of the contenders, Lady Sylvia, is using nothing more than a regular sword. And yet she is giving a good fight to such a gigantic weapon as a greatsword.In turn, everyone is also impressed with their king who is wielding the said gigantic weapon. It is not easy to swing the weapon around, nor to make nimble movements with it. This is basically seen as an impossibility and yet, King Herald is somehow able to do just this very thing with utmost ease. As if the rules do not apply to him at all. As if he transcends all human reason and logic with the way he moves his body around.The first few seconds where these two fought, everyone witnessed how
Something New
There are three training grounds that are currently being used. Within each one is a dark elf that’s assigned to watch over the rest as well as train them to the best of their abilities. For the archers and all other long ranged combatants, Aries is the one doing this work. For the spearmen and the other mid ranged combatants, it is Silver leading them.Though Silver is also, technically, an archer herself, she is also a well-rounded fighter. As such, she is comfortable even if she’s placed in this kind of position. Where she has to take up the role of mentoring with middle ranged weapons making her the most flexible.Obviously, it isn’t the first two mentioned that Sylvia went to. The dark elf didn’t bother going there because Caster made it specifically clear that it is in his training grounds that the king has gone to. King Herald Ironforge has gone to the training grounds of the melee fighters and the vanguards. All of which are being coached by Caster.When Sylvia arrived at the
The Progress
A day has passed since the events that happened in the workshop of the king. Sylvia, as a good right hand of the king, did not broadcast this to the whole of the kingdom. Nor did she even tell a single soul. She kept the information to herself, showing just how professional she is at handling things and, showing that the event that transpired isn’t enough to make her neglect her duties and responsibilities to the rest of the kingdom.Things need to keep on moving. Especially because they have to gather the strength needed to protect their kingdom all on their own. But more than that, they also need to gain enough power to be a self-sustaining kingdom that doesn’t need the help of the other kingdoms in order to survive with the basic necessities.That’s what Sylvia is currently working on. Her mind hard pressed on the task at hand as her eyes stared at the vast horizon. The open field where the crops have been planted and, are being taken care of partially using the ingenuity of the de
The King
Within the next couple of days that passed, Zeke continued his sole travel within the kingdom of the demon lord. This action worried the dark elf Sylvia because of the dangers that it posed. But, this same worry is diminished by the fact that she has been told by Aries about the plans of Zeke. As well as the abilities that the hero learned when he named his ego weapon.Adding to this is the fact that the hero’s glow stone is still, well, glowing. This is an item that is embedded in the throne of every monarch of every kingdom. Reminding them that the hero is of equal status to them. But more than this, the stone tells them whether or not their hero is still alive. A useful function when the hero is some considerable distance away from the king or queen and, to anyone who can make a speedy report.That being said, what has been mentioned offers nothing more than slight relief. Sylvia is still worried sick and, the only reason she can still tone this down is because she also has the who
Encounter III
“Well, I guess that’s that.” Daemon said as he looked at the unconscious hero that lay on the ground. “You’re the first hero to ever come and visit me so I have to give you some credit for that at least right? Though that doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily the best already. I’ve yet to see the other heroes and if they do the same stupid act as you, I doubt I’d spare them the same way.”The way that Daemon is speaking to Zeke at that moment would make you think that the hero can actually hear him. Zeke can’t of course. He’s already forced to be unconscious. Though that barely matters for Daemon. He doesn’t care about things like these. He simply wants to say what he wants and, that is exactly what he continued doing.“Anyway, you’re not going to forget about all of this. You’re head’s already been filled with a protective spell that secures your memories.” Daemon said as he placed his hand over the head of the hero. “There’s really something about you that’s uncanny my dear hero. You
Encounter II
“It’s been a long time since I flew this distance.” A deep and sharp tone. That is the voice of the creature that landed right in front of Zeke.There is no warning of his coming. There are no signs. Before Zeke can even prepare for it, Daemon’s already landed right in front of him. Gently. Elegantly. Without a single sound being made. Without a single stone being shaken. And that is all the more reason why this whole thing is frightening. Because, a creature with such an immense amount of power has appeared in front of him in such a silent way.Every fiber of Zeke’s being is telling him to run away. To run as fast as he can and never look back. There are no thoughts of fighting coming through his head at all. Not even the slightest bit humored his imagination because, the only thing playing in his mind is his own death. The thing playing in his mind is how he will be killed by this being that just appeared. Yet his body can’t move.No matter how much he’s telling it to, his body just
Encounter
Zeke Elwood, the hero of Forge, now has access to a total of one hundred summons. All of which can be brought out at the same time. Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the hero has a sizable army that he can use. One that will get him through the first couple of fights within the demon kingdom. Though there is a bit of a problem mixed along with all of this.As Zeke raised his summons, there is a new notification that popped out. The text on it is connected to the summons and it reads:[Current Summon Limit Reached][Information: You have reached the limit of your summons for now. Raising another monster requires that some from the old batch be taken down using multiple methods available.“I knew it was too good to be true.” Is the only thing that Zeke can say in response to this. He already thought that something like this could happen. That there would be trouble when it comes to the summons. Though the thing is that, nothing is said about it in the details of the summoning. Bu
Entry
Zeke has entered the demon kingdom. That is a more proper term for the place that goes beyond the border of every other kingdom outside of its jurisdiction. A place that can be specifically mapped out because of the thick miasma that’s spread across the whole of the place. A thick layer of darkness that covers the domain of the demon lord. Created from the mana and aura of all the monsters and demons that thrive within this place. Something that makes the monsters stronger while also, as far as the legends and hearsay goes, weakens any other race who dares to step foot inside this place.But now that Zeke is there, it’s easy enough for him to see that all of this is nothing more than mere gossip. His body felt fine even as he entered the domain of the demon lord. But the only reason that he is this way is because of the blessing he’s received from the god that favored him.Heimdal, his sponsoring god, unbeknownst to him, has also granted him protection from the miasma of this place.
