The e was accompanied by the shock of the impact thatthat sword, but this one attack was able to lower its durability It seeth
“I can’t lose Sculpting Blade!” Weed attacked relentlessly
The two exchanged blows rapidly Weed, charged with the intent to kill, aimed for the vital points Battles had to be finished as quickly and simply as possible That was the only way toup

“Devil’s Strike!” The Dullahan roared, initiating a chain attack
The axe, now launched into the air, and spun violently as it cah Weed ducked to avoid the blow, his HP dropped by 300 just from the wind pressure
If he had used the Seven Celestial Footsteps, he could have dodged coet hit
The point was to raise his level of Defense while working on his Endurance
Noas Weed’s turn
“Triple!” The first strike missed, while the second, more destructive strike cae both attacks, causing Weed to execute a powerful swing fro axe had booed back to its owner and the Dullahan thrust it forward to block Weed’s third attack At that instant, Weed’s sword crisscrossed through the Dullahan’s chest,a total of five consecutive attacks Triple had evolved as Weed’s mastery of the skill increased
The Dullahan had somehow blocked the first three attacks, but the next tered his HP byto push Weed back by repeatedly using his Bash ability But by now Weed had already worked out the skill’s ti, and swiftly carved into the Dullahan’s side
“Aren’t you dead yet? Sculpting Blade!” Milky white light surrounded Weed’s blade
Then came the merciless strikes!
The Dullahan’s health points were decreasing rapidly as the strikes sounded

“Phew… that was easier than I expected But one of theerous if two of theed me at once”
Weed headed to a hidden corner to level his sculpting after he picked up the greaves the Dullahan dropped
“Let’s try sculpting a Dullahan”
Weed’ssculptures he hada sculpture for the first tinificantly
Weed took out Zahab’s Sculpting Knife and a piece of wood and started to sculpt the figure of the Dullahan he just saw He was so used to sculpting now that if he simply pictured it in his mind, he could carve it The cave was silent save for the echo of Weed’s sculpting
“It would be great if ht
His current Sculpting skill was 99 to level 10 He had also ht it was possible to level up
“Please let me achieve Intermediate level!”
Weed wished as he finished the Dullahan’s head

The sadness and loneliness he was !
The humiliation and scorn he had to suffer because of his job as a Sculptor! Weed felt his rage vanish into thin air
Finally, he had achieved Inter
The job of Sculptor, which he had wanted to quit so badly at first, felt like the job he was destined for
The Sculpting Blade skill had proven to have the greatest efficiency so far! Every ti skill increased ever so slightly and since it was closely tied to Sculpting, the skill was enhanced as his Sculpting advanced to Intermediate
