Chapter 4: we are done here

"!Clank!" My hammer hit the blade. I was working on giving it the shape I desired, finishing my work on my new creation. As I started ingraining different samples on it, once I was done, a small glow appeared on the new markings I made.

Skill upgraded

[Blacksmith, Rank A]

Over these weeks, I have only focused on mastering blacksmithing. John, noticing my progress, taught me how to use Runes my first week; it was pretty easy to learn. It was just ingraining the right symbol for the right concept I wanted to put in the weapon, and then my mana would do the rest.

"Nice kid, I have taught you well. Now I have nothing else to teach you," John said, petting me on the back. I just looked at him in surprise.

"Kid, at this point you won't improve staying here, and besides that blade, you just made most people won't be able to afford it anyways; you have become a great blacksmith and these couple of weeks," John said, and I could hear the pride coming from his voice.

From the corner of my eye, I could see Joe clicking his tongue in annoyance as he started working on whatever he was working on with more intensity.

I will probably need to talk to him sometime.

Thank you, John, for teaching me. I tried to give a respectful bowel before the fucker just smacked me in the head.

"Don't give me that shit kid; now go on and continue your travels," John said, as I simply snorted.

Yeah, John wasn't a big fan of emotional goodbyes. Neither was I, which is probably why I like the old fucker a lot.

- later -

As one of these fucking retarded fire monkeys threw a fireball at me. I simply did not even bother, dodging it as the fireball simply dissipated on contact with my skin.

With all the exposure to fire, I had learned blacksmithing. I completed my upgrade quest and increased my fire resistance and other skills as well.

[Fire immunity - Rank C+]

[Smell resistance - Rank B]

[Poison immunity - Rank B]

Yeah, that fucking farm was disgusting.

As I simply pulled out my improved sword (still unnamed) I simply killed the apes in front of me with low difficulty.

Using my connection with him, I called Rodrigo to come to me.

As a surprise, I see an enormous blue dragon coming where I was, holy shit what happened to Rodrigo.

[it's because Rodrigo is no longer living in a cave in a limited territory and this time he managed to hunt and eat whenever he please giving him the ability to grow dramatically in these couple weeks]

Well, I would give him more freedom but I'm just not sure I trust him to not eat people.

[He is your partner if you cannot trust him, you cannot trust anyone]

That comment annoyed me a little bit, but I ignored it as Rodrigo landed in front of me, giving me a grin.

Time to go I say as Rodrigo moved so it'll be easier for me to get on his back as he did. He lifted his wings and he slowly went up to the air.

Where to go next I thought to maybe Seraphina Nah too fucking hot and I feel like my delicate white skin it can gonna get crispy if I go there.

Man fuck Drakonia….

Before I can think of anywhere I could go I see in the distance what looks to be a fire starting.

As we flew over the area I looked forward just to see a village being covered in flames and saw what looked like Vikings pillaging the village.

Northerners….no islanders he thought a bit disgusted and irritated.

In this world, there are only two cultures that practice pillaging villages on a wimp.

The kingdom of Iceland witches is located in this world version of Antarctica. And the home of the fuckers pillaging the village the "empire" of Varangia.

The supposed empire of Varangia is nothing more than a bunch of northerners; they simply moved to five large islands that the north has control over.

Eventually, the house running those islands renamed, and claimed the island and founded their own "empire" (by these fuckers declaration) giving the empire the name of their house name Varangia.

Pieces of shit that's the only thing I could think as I saw them, pillaging an entire village and stealing their crops and valuables.

Despite his hatred of those pieces of garbage, he decided not to get involved it was not his battle and frankly he did not care about the people of the village he fell bad for them, but not enough to help them out and even still, most of the people were probably dead already anyways.

And he might've let the savages do as they, please if it wasn't for an arrow piercing his shoulder.

Moving my head, I see one of the fuckers with their bow up that was the one that shot me, with a graph I tell Rodrigo to burn them all with our bond him filling my emotions he did it gladly opening his mouth and blue flames coming out of it.

The screams of these fuckers shit makes me get shit eating grin.

Whipping the arrow from my shoulder, it quickly heals through my slight regeneration thanks to my bond with Rodrigo. I go down to see the remains of the village.

As I looked around, all I can see is burning corpses and burning houses before I went back to Rodrigo I managed to see one of the fuckers who managed to survive but was injured with burns covering his body.

Dragging himself on the floor, trying to run away, I walk slowly to the man using [observe] on him to try to get some information on him.

[Ivar son of Ivar]

Title: Son of the sea - common

Age: 38

Status: practically almost dead

Description: he is a member of the Varangia fleet he was sent here to start pillaging the villages to begin the conquest of the Varangia empire.

Fucking idiots I thought as my head started getting covered in purple fire, and I threw the flames at the dumbass that was dragging himself through the floor just to hear him start to scream as the purple flames consumed him.

Whoever was the new "king" of that shit hole truly did not know what he was doing. The only reason why they've been ignored this long it's because one it would be just a waste of time to eliminate a group that's practically not doing anything and it would be a waste of soldiers and two the land they lived in was unlivable. The only reason why they survive is by pillaging.

If they attempted to conquer anything, any nation would destroy those idiots, especially Aris a real empire that controls an entire continent.

But this gave me an idea. Rodrigo flying through the sky I decided my next nest destination, was it a bad idea most likely did he really care not really. 

I think no one would be opposed to Varangia having a new lord; worst-case scenario: I kill everybody on that island, which might be a good thing for the world; best-case scenario: I get a territory, and I might complete one of my requirements for my class quest.

Yeah, he was going to show those insects the power of a dragon.

XxX

Back at it again with the dark dragon.

This chapter was slow as fuck due to the fact that I did not know what to write and I just wrote whatever I thought at the time.

But I think it came out good we're gonna have some system shenanigans in the next chapter.

New Viking king maybe.
