Chapter 217
Bronze Dragon
Vernel continued his explanation.
"It uses a method where the entire cartridge is inserted to operate. Two cartridges can be inserted into the two barrels, and it's a firepower-focused piece that fires a total of 60 mana bullets simultaneously."
Ferda tried to lift the thing.
He thought it would be simple since it was short, but it was three or four times heavier than a rifle, and Ferda's strength couldn't lift it.
"The weight is quite heavy."

"Testing showed the recoil is strong, so durability is important."
"Is there a difference from a mana bomb?"

"The recoil is three times stronger than a regular rifle, so it can deliver tremendous impact at close range."
Hearing that explanation, Ferda clearly realized the item's purpose.
"It'd be hard for tactical infantry to use. Would only heavy armored knights be able to handle something like this?"
"That's correct."

Entering with a shield and shotgun instead of a shield and sword.
The picture wasn't bad.
If a knight isn't just a wall but mixes into infantry tactics, their performance would stand out.
"How does this look?"

Ferda asked Alberto.
True to expectations for someone who liked firepower, he grabbed the thing without a shred of hesitation.
W̃е b̆n о vе ĺ_ Е̂_n ù m̌а
He examined it, then immediately aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
Kwaang!
Tremendous roar and impact.
Even just standing beside it, it felt like the impact struck his chest hard.
The recoil was powerful enough that even strong knights couldn't easily handle it.
Alberto didn't put the gun down.

He seemed to think for a moment, then his hand moved toward the inside of his armor.
With clicking sounds, the melted-looking outer shoulder armor fell to the floor.
Kung!
Kung!
The reason he suddenly removed the shoulder armor was to reduce weight.
He'd thrown off something so heavy it shook the ground, yet what he wore underneath as inner armor was also heavy cavalry armor.

Even so, anyone watching him could tell.
That man was lighter and more agile than anyone else.

With his newly agile body, he quickly grabbed the rounds placed on the table.
He released the barrel's latch and inserted two magazines into the ends.
He loaded the gun in an instant and aimed at the target again.
Kwaang! Kwaang!

After firing all rounds, he released the latch, and the barrel's magazines were pushed back by the pressure,
and he slammed two new magazines into their place.
And fired.
Kwaang! Kwaang!

Reload, fire.
Kwaang! Kwaang!

He struck the dirt mound beyond the target that had long since vanished.
Alberto repeated loading and firing in a trance.
Vernel couldn't help but gape at the dazzling display.
In 10 seconds, a full 20 rounds were fired, and only then did he stop.
The reason he stopped wasn't his will.
The steel barrel couldn't withstand the heat and impact and shattered.

Alberto looked at the barrel and opened his heavy mouth.
"Can it be made stronger?"
"H-here?"
Vernel seriously considered it, then shook his head.
"At our level, it seems impossible...? There's no material we have that can withstand Sir Knight's rapid fire."
"If there's a material, can it be done?"
W ѐb n̆ о v е̃ l̆ Е n u̇m̌а̃
"Of course if there's a material it can be made... but even this shotgun was made with the strongest steel, and you're saying there's a material that beats this?"
When Vernel indicated it was impossible, Alberto kicked his own shoulder armor in front of them and said.

"Make it with this."
"What this is..."
"Frontenium."
"Fr, Frontenium??"
Е̇ n u̇ mа .і̃ d̃
"That legendary material said to exist only in myths...?"
Not just Vernel, but Ferda couldn't hide his surprise either.
The representative material of the Bronze Dragon, Frontesis, and an item only Frontesis could possess and create.
It had become even rarer after Silverwind's death, making it hard to see.

"I heard Frontenium has a color almost like gold, but no matter how I look at it, this is gray..."
"Can you make it?"
Е́ǹ úm̄ ӑ . іd
Alberto didn't waste words.
Under that pressure, Vernel answered.
"Even if this really is Frontenium, making it is difficult. Frontenium is something only the Bronze Dragon Frontesis can handle, and even dwarves can't do it unless they're named artisans..."
"It can be done."
"Just because you throw a fit doesn't change anything—."
Vernel's words cut off.

Alberto tossed the club he'd set down over his shoulder.
"Eek, aaaaah!"
Vernel startled badly.
Alberto swung the club down hard.
Toward his own shoulder armor on the floor.
Duung~!

"Heuk!"
"Euaat!?"

Everyone in the vicinity collapsed to the ground.
The shockwave spread across the ground, and their legs gave out from the vibration.
Then an amazing thing happened.
The armor that had only gray with ominous wave patterns began to spread color as if being heated.
W̌е̊ b̃ nоv̀ е̌ l̀ Ѐ ṅ.ü m̀ ã
For just a moment, the center was unmistakably golden.
It was a hard, brilliant light on a completely different level from soft gold.
"Frontenium!"
"It's real Frontenium!"

The legendary material that even battlefield warriors rarely see was right before their eyes.
It was awe-inspiring enough to make them forget the fear of their legs giving out, and the reason for the sudden action.

Shortly after, someone came running like a ghost and shouted.
It was Ruri.
"Which crazy bastard caused a shockwave like this on the castle grounds...!"
Ruri saw the golden shoulder armor capturing everyone's attention.
That thing, and a man holding a club right next to it.
Her face showed she'd roughly figured out what happened.

Then she glanced at Ferda and asked.
"Did Ferda-nim lead this?"
"Depending on the situation, maybe, maybe not."
Since he didn't know what was happening, he decided to test the waters first.
"...I'll prepare to welcome the guest."
Her not pressing further was like accepting spilled water.
Е́ n u m̄ ӑ . і̄ď
Soon, he understood what welcoming the guest meant.
Not many hours later, at the village outer castle wall, something huge rose up.

Kugugung!
A massive body about 20 meters.
It had arms and wings, but they were so short they were practically decorative.

At a glance it looked dull, yet it couldn't be ignored.
It was the Bronze Dragon, Frontesis.
Alberto had summoned Frontesis.
-Which damn bastard is messing with my stuff!!

He roared with a voice full of rage.

Guardian and Phase of Rock, Frontesis.
He was closer to dwarves than humans, a god-like existence to them.
He had melted every ore in the rock, hammered them into items, and earned the name God of Blacksmiths.
Most legendary weapons known in myths passed through his hands, and items made of Frontenium were the pinnacle among them.
Guarding that reputation fiercely, Frontesis never forgave anyone who carelessly handled his items.
Alberto had used that point.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'I heard Frontesis is famous for being a benevolent dragon...'
Alberto had properly grabbed and yanked out that nose hair.
Among guardian dragons, he was known as the most benevolent and friendly, and many humans tried to use that personality, all suffering for it without exception.
Even so, there was a reason he was famous for being docile.
Even while letting out a rage-filled roar, he immediately shrank his body and entered through the village outer gate, walking in slowly, wasn't he?
Unlike dragons that flip everything over, he was gentlemanly.
Е̄ n̆ ŭ.m̈ а. іd̂
Befitting a dragon called the God of Blacksmiths, he had a dwarf-like appearance.
At a glance he looked just a bit smaller than Ferda, but perhaps due to a dwarf's characteristic thickness, he looked even smaller.

Anyway, he was waddling over.
As the castle's second master, Ferda knelt to welcome him.
"I greet the Great Guardian and Phase of Rock, Frontesis-nim."
Bronze-colored eyes held deep killing intent, and he asked.
E n̈ùṁ а
"You?"
"What do you mean?"
"The bastard who tried to break my stuff. Was it you?"
Frontesis glared with a rage-filled face.

Ferda bowed his head and answered.
"I've never received Frontesis-nim's item, so how would I dare handle Frontesis-nim's item carelessly?"
Еnû m̊ а.іd
"Come to think of it, that's right. Your body's frail, so it wouldn't be you."
Frontesis rolled his eyes, then precisely identified the culprit this time.
"Right, figured it'd be that bastard!"
Alberto.
He stood still, facing Frontesis.
Frontesis held the hammer at his waist, tapped it on his palm, and said.

"You barged into my lair demanding I make armor, and now you're trying to break my armor?"
"..."
"If you have any last words before dying by my hand, I'll listen."
Alberto answered plainly.
"Make me a weapon."
"Good. I'll make a sword from your spine and establish discipline!!"
Ẇe b n óvel̆ Ӗ n ǔm̃ ӑ
Frontesis tried to charge at him with his hammer.
"Please calm down, Frontesis-nim."

"Who are you? Valdrova's attendant? Daring to block this body's path, you've got guts—."
"Valdroba-nim is waiting for Frontesis-nim."
"V-Valdroba? She's waiting for me?"
Frontesis's body stopped.
Е̄ñ ům̊ǎ. íd́
As if ashamed of all his actions until now, he withdrew his hammer and coughed dryly.
"Cough, cough... Right, for now I'll generously put it on hold."
That's not generous.
"Will you guide me, Silverwind Lady?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Yes, please this way..."
Anyway, the kill-or-save atmosphere vanished instantly, and Frontesis entered.

"Oh! It's Valdrova."
Frontesis was overjoyed and approached her.
Valdroba also welcomed him, a bit shyly.
"Long time no see, Frontesis."
"How long has it been since I've seen your face... I was going to say that, but why are you wearing a mask like that?"

"There's a bit of a situation..."
"No, it's fine! Don't tell me! Just being able to talk like this is enough!"
Frontesis took Valdrova's hands and kissed the back of her hand.
"I heard you were coming from Ruri. But I didn't know what business brought you..."
"Ah, that? It's nothing much... just some ruffian bastard messed with my stuff, so I came to teach him a lesson?"
"Wh-who is it?"
Ѐṅ ū ṁ а
"Obviously some worthless human, why are you flustered? You never handled my stuff carelessly, haha!"
Valdroba was watching with strangely stiff movements, but Frontesis didn't notice.

Ferda decided to draw the attention focused on her to himself.
"Regarding Sir Alberto's matter, I, who will handle the appointment, will apologize instead."
Frontesis started growling the moment their eyes met.
"No need for apologies, just bring that bastard's head! That's the only way to calm my anger!"
Ě n ŭ m̌ а
He was threatening, but Ferda strangely didn't feel pressured.
Was it because he'd gotten too used to Valdroba's aura that this felt relatively too weak?
Even so, it was less than Storeus, let alone Goz, the Silverwind leader.
He might not actually be that angry.

It seemed like a middle-aged old man's tantrum just wanting his pride acknowledged.
"Please don't do that, and please listen."
Ẅ e̊ b̃ n̈ оv̄ѐl̃. Е́ň ũ mа
After begging several times, he permitted it.
Ferda told the whole story of what Alberto did in detail.
Frontesis's face rotted further.
"So he really pulled that stunt asking me to make a weapon?"
"Circumstantially, yes."
"Hopeless bastard."

It seemed better than awkwardly defending him.
He made a very annoyed face, but Frontesis also seemed to have no good solution.
Why?
To resolve the question in his mind, Ferda slyly asked him.
"I called Frontesis-nim for an unpleasant matter, but thinking it's for the continent, could you grant this small person one small favor?"
"What is it?"
W eḃ n̂о v̈ё l Еn̈ ũ m̈ӓ
"I'll provide the mold. I'd like you to help melt Frontenium and make one weapon."
Ferda came out bold.

Frontesis's face turned beet red as he glared at Ferda.
"I came to punish that bastard, and you're in on it too!"
"That's not it. If Alberto stimulated Frontesis-nim for a private matter, I'll take responsibility and cut his head off. This is for a great undertaking."
"What fucking great undertaking!!"
Е̄ n u ṁ а . і̂d́
"It's one of the tasks to create weapons to defeat demons. The metal Frontesis-nim created is for the Serdes Continent."
Frontesis snorted.
"Hah! Plenty of kings tried to sweet-talk me like that! Saying they're doing it for demons, then always using it for their own greed! What makes you or that bastard any different!"
"Recently demons occupied a kingdom, and countless territory people fell into the corrupted king's hands. This will surely cause demons to run rampant again."

"Bullshit! Demons aren't that strong! It's just a scheme using that coward Godwin! You too!"
"Frontesis."
W̊ e b̆ ṅ о̂v̊.е́l̂ Ѐn̂_u_mа̇
Valdroba softly called his name, and Frontesis, who had been screaming, flinched in surprise.
His fiery personality vanished somewhere, and he quietly gazed at Valdrova.
"I'll vouch for Ferda-ssi. Ferda-ssi is more warm-hearted and wise than anyone. He'd never use it for selfish reasons. Could you make a weapon to defeat demons?"
"Cough... if you vouch... still, what's the point of making a weapon? Who'd appreciate it? Who'd I be making another weapon for?"
"I know? That Frontesis is more passionate than anyone, and that you're doing it for the continent."
"Valdroba..."

Color returned to Frontesis's face at Valdroba's words.
Like a grandfather seeing his granddaughter-in-law.
Frontesis looked at that face, then sighed with a softened expression.
"Damn it, what would I hide from you? The truth is... there's a reason I'm being this stubborn..."
He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.
"Frontenium is no longer something I can handle."
