The Great Land's
Ep.34 The Vulka's Past

"Pu ah.... hah... hah.... hah... I've reached my limit" said Luke, lying on the grass. "Huh... sunny day with white clouds, very beautiful..This life has now changed, I will live this life myself and hunt them......" luke then stood up.

"Sup... huft....." Luke took a breath and then threw it away. "Wush... - wush... wush....." Luke performs attacks from punches and kicks. "Sriing... wush... wush....." Luke then pulls the knife he made earlier and he uses it to attack. "Flame......" Luke stopped in a body position like stabbing an enemy. "Prok... prok... prok...prok...." the sound of applause coming from the back door of the blacksmith.

"Ah.... did you just see.....?" say Luke. "Yes... is very impressive, because you are strong in the fight, why did you choose to be a blacksmith......?" vulka. "It's nothing, it's just that I want to make a weapon for someone" Luke said. "Ah....is that the person you love......?" vulka. "I love him, love him because he took care of me from childhood, but now he's not killed" Luke said.

"Ah... sorry, it must be sad is not.." said Vulka. "Yes, it's okay, I don't really question that" Luke said. "Yes, I can also understand your feelings, because I also lost a valuable person" Vulka said. "Ah.... This conversation is so dark, have you finished forging.....?" say Luke. "Yet, I'm still finishing half of it, what is it.....?" vulka. "It's nothing, I'm just asking" Luke said.

"Yes.. I'll go back inside, you can do what you want" said Vulka who then entered the house. "Hmm. now I'm going to try something" said Luke, who then removed a ring he got from the mine. "Hm.... Otr you old how can I see and make a relic.....?" say Luke. "You activate your demon eyes, with the eye power of the royal lineage it must be better" Otr said.

"Yes, okay" said Luke who then kept the dagger he held and then sat on the grass. Luke Kenya closed his eyes and relaxed his body. After a while, Luke opened his eyes slowly, His eyes had changed, his eyes were black and his irises were purple. "Ah... My vision became wider and I could see the structure of an object" said Luke.

"Yes, you can see as usual with those eyes, and you can also see the relic runes" Otr said. "Well, that's great then" said Luke, who then focused his eyes on the ring. After that Luke saw a picture above the ring. After that Luke touches and makes a point above the picture of the runes in the ring. "Hmm. I get it now" said Luke, and then Luke changed the rune slightly.

The moment he changed the runes, his nose came and he bled out. "Akh... shit, it looks like where I've almost touched the limit" said Luke who was surprised because the mana is absorbed to make a picture very much. Luke finishes quickly and then stops drawing as it is finished. "Hah.hah...hah...huh, shit, I ran out of mana" said Luke who was lying on the grass with a limp body.

"I've been able to do the forging for now and I'm going to learn about everything else, I need to be able to do all the work or multi-work" Luke said. And then Vulka opened the back door to see Luke. "There sir.....?" luke said as he looked towards Vulka. "It's nothing, just want to see you and take you to lunch" Vulka said. It wasn't noon that day, and Luke went inside for lunch.

"Are you cooking sir.....?" say Luke. "Yes.... You think this old man can only forge....? I could starve to death that way" Vulka said. "Hmm.... Don't you have a family.....?" say Luke. "Ah... sorry, I asked you a sensitive question" Luke said. "Yes, it's okay, I've lost my family to myself" Vulka said. "Is there an attack.....?" say Luke.

"Yes... I used to not live here, I lived in a village far from here, I was a famous blacksmith, because I was famous for being envious and disliked by me a lot, he said, and one day I went to the mine to look for minerals, and when you came back I saw the bodies of my wife and children lying on the floor with slash wounds and stabs from their bodies" vulka.

"And you took revenge on them......?" say Luke. "No, I was depressed at first and didn't even come out of the house for a few weeks, after which I took the hammer and then forged it with a heart full of resentment, regret, anger, sadness, and so on, depression and everything else" Vulka said. "And this is where my mistake happened, and therefore I forged a cursed sword, I named the sword Kladenets" Vulka said.

"What does your fault have to do with a sword, a blacksmith's soul is in the forging tool used, he said, when you forge something with a controlling emotion it will make something that wants to forge it have the emotions you have, just like my weapons of the time, he said, it becomes a weapon that will possess the holder and will slash and slash people until you become a slaughterer" Vulka said.

"Don't......!" luke was surprised. "Yes, as you think, I slaughtered everyone in the village while holding the weapon, and after that I atoned for my sin by becoming an apostle of a god, and living like this" vulka. "And what about the sword.....?" luke said, "that sword I've sealed somewhere, because every time I intend to destroy it I end up failing, and yes that's how it is" Vulka said.

"Ah.... I just know that forging can be like that, well I'll borrow your place to forge" said Luke. "Yes... Just wear it, I'm not too concerned about it" said Vulka.
