‘Painting isn’t easy.’

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang...

Grid had already finished working 10 minutes ago. He had completely repaired all the items he normally used. However, he didn’t stop hammering. He didn’t want to disturb Picasso, who was transferring his image to canvas. Grid could feel the spirit of an artist from Picasso who observed him without blinking. He couldn’t help having respect for her.

‘Let’s think.’

What should he do until Picasso’s work was over? He didn’t want to make underwear in the painting, so should he make the mass-produced Grid items for a while? Grid thought about it before recalling the First Holy Sword. His understanding of it was at 60% after repeatedly disassembling and reassembling it in an attempt to resolve the curse. It was impossible to perfectly reproduce the First Holy Sword, but a ‘reproduction’ was possible.

‘I should use this opportunity to make a smaller holy sword.’

It would give him a glimpse of how powerful the First Holy Sword was.

‘If I’m lucky, my understanding will rise.’

Grid was filled with anticipation as he looked at the minerals warehouse on one side of the smithy.

“What do you need me to bring over?” A young blacksmith noticed and quickly came forward.

Grid frowned. ‘It is like I am a bully making them buy me bread.’

Now people were trying to do things for him. He didn’t even have to say anything. They just read his desires. It wasn’t due to his strength but pure goodwill and respect!

“Iron ore and mithril.”

“Yes!” The young blacksmith rushed to the warehouse at Grid’s instructions. After the young blacksmith returned with a large amount of iron ore and mithril, Grid poured the iron ore into the furnace he had heated up.

‘Of course, it is insignificant compared to the divine stone that Hexetia created.’

Among the minerals present on the Earth, those which could accept as much divine power as mithril could were rare. Grid planned to reproduce the First Holy Sword by using a minimum amount of iron ore and a large amount of mithril.

Ttaaang! Ttang!

He repeatedly smelted, tempered, and quenched the minerals. The iron ore and mithril which seemed to just be stones were transformed into a single blade through the process of smelting and hammering.

‘The First Holy Sword! I can perfectly reproduce its image!’

Ttang!

Extremely focused, Grid entered a trance state and thought back to when the holy sword was still in the hands of the Yatan Servants. He recalled all the impressions he felt when he saw it the first time, from the divine stone to the history and intentions of the First Holy Sword. Then he tried to completely reproduce the holy sword.

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

It wasn’t perfect, but he hadn’t ruined its essence. The appearance of the sword on the anvil wasn’t much different from the original. Still, there was a problem.

‘Ah, the divine power.’
