Outside, several blacksmiths had gathered silently, watching in awe. None dared to interrupt him. They could feel it—Alan had entered a state beyond ordinary craftsmanship. The forge flames burned brighter, responding to his will as if alive.
Clang! Clang! CLANG!
With one final strike, the blazing metal cooled instantly, releasing a wave of pressure that forced everyone to step back. The sword floating above the anvil emitted a deep crimson glow mixed with faint silver light—calm yet terrifying.

The moment the sword completed, a violent pressure swept across the smithy.
The watching blacksmiths staggered backward as multiple notifications appeared before them.
[Your Blacksmith Level has increased by 4!]
[Your Blacksmith Level has increased by 5!]
[You have witnessed Legendary Craftsmanship!]
Alan slowly exhaled, his trance finally breaking. He looked at the sword in silence, unaware of the stunned expressions surrounding him.
Loyd stood frozen at the doorway, eyes wide and trembling.
"…You really are a legend," he muttered in awe, staring at the powerful black-and-red blade resting on the table.
'It's my first legendary craft, though,' Alan thought, but he decided not to say it aloud as he continued to observe the sword.
'The sword's wielding conditions have changed,' Alan realized. He had always felt a bit disappointed when he couldn't use such powerful sword himself—but now, he finally met the requirements.
Alan nodded to himself, lifted the sword carefully, and placed it into his inventory.
" Thankyou for letting me use the smithy, I will be leaving then " He said as Loyd nodded.
" Best of luck on your adventure" he said as Alan nodded and left.
" Next stop is going to Empire and get Asmophel" Alan mumbled coming out of the Patrian as he continued to move towards the Titan.
After 10 days he finally reached the Titan the grand capital of Saharan Empire.
" It's grand " Alan mumbled looking at the capital as he wore the Kruger's Invisibility cloak and entered the city.
Thanks to powerful stealth ability of it which rivals the Legendary Assassin Lantier, he was able to move inside quiet easily.
After gathering some information, Alan found the house where Asmophel was staying.
However, he didn't go there immediately. Instead, he waited for nightfall before infiltrating it.
*******
The task of the Yatan Church was to create chaos in the world.
Its purpose was to draw out the pain and despair buried in people's hearts, activate dark magic, and ultimately bring the 33 Great Demons down to earth.
This was the will of God Yatan.
To achieve this, the Seventh Servant of Yatan replaced Dive, the black magician of Empress Marie's family.
It was possible due to a secret deal between the Yatan Church and Empress Marie. He silently replaced her aide in order to gain control over her puppet—Asmophel.
Originally Dive had controlled Asmophel like a puppet, using him to condemn the powerful Red Knights, executing their families and exiling them.
All of it was because she wanted to place her own son on the imperial throne and the former Red Knights were Empress Aria supporters.
After eliminating the Red Knights, her next target became Empress Aria, the beloved wife of Emperor Juander—whom he cherished far more than Marie.
She eliminated Aria as well, then took Emperor Juander under her influence. With that, her power within the palace grew greater than ever. She now controlled the Red Knights completely.
Dark Bus, the Seventh Servant of Yatan, took advantage of this opportunity. He began accumulating resentment throughout the Imperial Capital, preparing to summon a Great Demon in the very heart of the empire.
"I will succeed soon," Dark Bus laughed as he looked at the blonde-haired man lying on the bed with lifeless, dead-fish eyes.
"Hmm… why is a Servant of Yatan here?"
Suddenly, someone placed an arm around his neck as if they were old friends.
"Care to tell me?" Alan asked calmly.
Dark Bus's eyes widened. He tried to jump away, but against the overwhelming physical strength of the orc, he was nothing.
Alan was currently in his Frostlight Orc Chief transformation state. He had transformed before infiltrating the mansion. The place was heavily guarded by Black Knights and a Dark Magician, so to prevent his identity from being exposed, he entered as the Frostlight Orc Chief instead.
"W-What? An orc is here?!" Dark Bus shouted in shock as he struggled.
"Dark Soul!"
A wave of black energy burst from his body and struck Alan directly.
[You have been cursed with Dark Soul.]
[You have resisted the effect.]
"Hahaha—die! Wha—?" Dark Bus's laughter froze in his throat as he watched the curse bounce off the massive, snow-white orc without leaving a single mark.
"Is that all?" Alan asked calmly.
His grip tightened around Dark Bus's neck.
"It would be interesting if I could kill someone just by exploring their head," he muttered coldly, increasing the pressure. But no matter how much strength he applied, he couldn't crush his skull.
"I guess that's not possible," Alan said.
He lifted Dark Bus high into the air and slammed him violently onto the ground.
BOOM!
The marble floor cracked instantly.
Alan didn't stop there. He began to pummel Dark Bus relentlessly, each punch landing like a meteor strike. Bones cracked, blood splattered, and shockwaves rippled through the room with every hit.
