“This is the axe we’ve sharpened for this day.”
“This is the hammer we’ve pounded for this day.”
“This is what we’ve burned for this day…”
Madness flickered in the dwarfs’ eyes.
“The Iron Soul.”
The Dvergr couldn’t withstand the dwarfs who had been imprisoned for so long, sharpening their blades.
They hadn’t survived because they were strong.
Crack!
They were strong because they survived.
They built muscle by hammering and hammering.
They completed their tough skin by being scorched by fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the hammering, they shared the insights they gained with each other.
Originally.
‘It would have been impossible.’
But only Brown Beard and these dwarfs could do it.
It was because of the greed that demons possessed.
The demon armor, trying to create armor that existed only in mythology, was the root of the problem – imprisoning not only the demonized Dvergr but also the dwarfs in the demon realm.
Also, granting the dwarfs much mercy and freedom for the ritual to complete the demon armor was the root of the problem.
Also!
Kwaaaang!
The arrogance of the clan traitor who retreated and went into hiding for the demon armor ritual was the problem.
Crack!
The axe blades sharpened for so long were incredibly sharp.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A black Dvergr riding on a Centaur charged toward Brown Beard.
Three horns on both cheeks and chin.
“Chieftain!”
The triangular demon was a difficult opponent even for the dwarfs who had sharpened their axe blades for so long.
Especially for these who were exhausted to the limit, nothing more than moving corpses.
Kuuung!
A Dvergr swinging a massive double-edged axe that was four times his height.
The dwarfs tried to rush to protect Brown Beard, but.
“Not yet! I’m fine!”
Brown Beard shouted and gripped the Rune Breaker he had used against Go Johan in reverse.
Then, as if the Rune Breaker became not an axe but something like a bizarrely shaped gun.
Click.
It was the moment when one of the remaining orbs in Brown Beard’s mana shattered and scattered.
Woooong!
The power of runes rushing in.
Taaang!
It shot toward the charging Dvergr as a bullet.
The swinging axe cut down Brown Beard.
No, it seemed to cut him down.
Snip!
But what was cut off was not Brown Beard’s neck, but only his beard.
Kuuung!
The Centaur and Dvergr.
Both were simultaneously pierced and fell powerlessly.
“Huff, huff…”
Stamina, mana, everything was at rock bottom.
But the battlefield was somehow being cleared.
Gulp, gulp.
He drank the last remaining honey ale.
Now only one rune stone remained.
Originally it was saved for the clan traitor Iron Hammer, but.
Grin.
“It won’t be necessary.”
Because a bomb incomparable to such rune stones would have arrived there.
“Chieftain, we’ll help.”
The dwarfs approached and supported Brown Beard.
Brown Beard nodded and took position, gripping the Rune Breaker again.
Woooooong!
The power of rune stones rushing in again.
And when it was destroyed and scattered.
Kwaaaaaang!
An explosion incomparable to before shot toward the ritual site.
Clang!
A form of golden eyeball bound with chains.
One of the ritual centers with a pillar of light shooting up above it.
Crack!
Finally began to break.
“Kugh!”
From the Rune Breaker’s recoil, Brown Beard spat out a handful of blood.
His entire internal organs were shaken and mana flowed backward.
Thud.
The other dwarfs’ situations were the same.
This was the Iron Soul they had burned for the last time.
At that moment.
Crack!
In the distance, another ritual center could be seen breaking.
“Ha!”
It wasn’t the place Go Johan had headed to.
“So he called him his retainer…”
It was the place the human male called Go Johan’s retainer had headed to.
If the right side they had headed to was the weakest of the three ritual sites, the left was the place guarded by the second strongest of the three rituals.
‘Blue Hammer.’
In legend, the place where another Dwarf Great King called by that name stood guard.
Four horns.
A place where there was a monster they had no way to handle.
“He’s also a monster.”
The retainer had dealt with it and stopped the ritual.
“Ha, hahaha!”
It was natural if you thought about it.
Even in Travania, he was someone who wouldn’t accept any of the renowned individuals as his retainer.
Even the Sword God who followed him around like a puppy wanted to become his retainer, but he didn’t accept.
Such a retainer.
“It’s done.”
There was no need to worry about that center.
Brown Beard fainted just like that.

Crack.
When Go Johan waved his hand, the Dvergr were cut down.
After facing them, he could know even more certainly.
Varatkgoen was.
‘Not a very old archdemon.’
Time was quite important to demons.
It meant they had survived for a long time, and had brought that many demons to their knees.
They were immortal against mortals, but among the immortal, they too were mortal.
Crack!
Nothing could stop Go Johan.
“Goddess.”
Perhaps because he saw Brown Beard.
He felt like he was standing in the middle of Travania’s battlefield from the past.
“These damned evil breeds test your faith.”
Though he had changed so much from that time.
“This too is a trial sent down by the goddess.”
Crack!
“Your knight will overcome it.”
When he crossed both hands and tore apart space.
Kwaaaaaaa!
Nothing existed to block his path.
Faith welled up.
That meant.
[Strength increases.]
[Agility increases.]
[Mana…]
It meant becoming stronger.
Go Johan’s level didn’t rise in ordinary ways.
Level was just something that quantified where Go Johan currently was, not a means to lift Go Johan higher.
Only one thing made Go Johan stronger.
“Goddess.”
[Faith stat increases.]
Only faith in the goddess.
No, now there was one more thing.
[Job Black Knight changes to Knight of Sloth.]
Sins.
The sins of demons he resolved to bear for the goddess made Go Johan even stronger.
[Inaction]
Spreading waves.
Starting from Go Johan’s sunken eyes, everything around lost strength and collapsed.
“Keuuu…”
They dropped their weapons, lost strength in their legs and sat down.
And soon they even forgot to breathe.
Step.
Walking through them, Go Johan finally reached the center of the ritual and transformed.
[Job Knight of Sloth changes to Knight of Envy.]
[Specter of Regret]
A pure white knight was now positioned there.
And ahead, another specter stood.
“How… how…”
A short dwarf, his entire body and armor were silver.
But between them, blackened eyes and seven horns protruding between the helmet could be seen.
“How… are you…”
Go Johan had come to Varatkgoen’s territory to liberate Iron Hammer, who was said to be alive.
But it wasn’t so.
“Iron Hammer is a clan traitor!”
Brown Beard, whom he had met, had cried out desperately.
“Black Beard was just his subordinate! The true traitor is that Iron Hammer!”
The Great King who sold out all of Travania’s dwarfs.
No.
“You’re here?”
The one who sold the allied forces gathered to fight demons, most of them, into the abyss of hell by selling out the dwarfs.
“Is that the price?”
What he received from the demons in return was merely…
“Those seven horns, is that the price you received for selling them all out? Iron Hammer?”
Varatkgoen.
It was said to be a name for dwarfs who had fallen in the distant past.
One of the names of the ancestor dwarfs that existed before the Dvergr.
“…!”
*
*
*
Varatkgoen, no, Iron Hammer who faced Go Johan was trembling.
At that moment.
Clang!
One of the ritual connections was severed, and the chains connected to Iron Hammer were broken.
“No, no!”
Iron Hammer had been conducting this ritual for a long time.
It was the creation of divine armor, an object that could be called the aspiration and legend, no, mythology of all dwarfs in every world.
Divine armor, as Brown Beard said, wasn’t armor worn by gods.
“How did you come here!”
“Black Beard opened the door.”
“That bastard!”
It was called divine armor because it was armor that could make one become a god.
Of course, it was just a legendary object.
However, Iron Hammer wanted to create it, and according to his fallen state, it was named demon armor.
“Iron Hammer.”
He melted the spirits and flesh of a hundred thousand dwarfs into molten metal.
Besides that, he melted everything that could be melted and used the authority given only to demons.
“Iron Hammer!”
The reason the Dvergr, including Black Beard, infiltrated Earth early even if it meant overexertion was to obtain those sacrifices.
“Just.”
Go Johan approached Iron Hammer and said.
“You sold out everything for that?”
It wasn’t because of the height difference.
Goooo!
The difference in presence made them into a giant and a dwarf.
Silver armor.
Clang!
When the second ritual was broken, it began to shine dark red.
As the ritual began to be destroyed, it was a change occurring as he tried to complete the ritual even if incompletely.
“It’s because of you!”
Iron Hammer shouted.
“If you hadn’t destroyed the clan’s divine artifacts!”
Iron Hammer shouted.
“If you had just stood before us! I wouldn’t have betrayed the clan.”
Crack.
Go Johan lifted Iron Hammer’s head.
[Job Knight of Envy changes to Knight of Greed.]
[Authority…]
Golden light seemed to swirl around Go Johan’s body.
It was a peculiar aura that was both sacred and ominous.
[Price of Desire]
Gurgle!
Something inside Iron Hammer’s armor writhed.
Just because he had seven horns didn’t mean he had become a true archdemon.
All his power had gone into this demon armor, and to create this demon armor, he couldn’t build his forces or increase his own power.
That’s why.
Kwaaaang!
An existence with the dignity of an archdemon disappeared with just this one strike.
“Yes, maybe it would have been so.”
Clatter.
The dark red armor fell to the floor.
Following that.
Claaang!
The last ritual center shattered.
[Archdemon Varatkgoen has been annihilated.]
[A large amount of Karma Points acquired.]
That’s when it happened.
Go Johan, sensing the occurring change.
Click.
Immediately changed the mark of sins to the form of Great Sin.
The sacred light shining from Go Johan’s hand.
Crack!
Immediately pierced through the writhing demon armor.
