Chapter 8 : Encounter with Da’in

Pavo had great a houses and buildings for business

There was quite the variety of preferences for houses in Morata In other affluent kingdoh leveled player or have a lot of money in order to own your own house That's because they had to build a villa or some luxury residence in order to not be inferior to others But in Morata, there was a representative style of house

The shack!

It could be built easily, and it cost almost no construction and maintenance fees The shoddy shack could only block the rain and wind, but there were so many of them that there was no reason to feel ashainners could build one if they acquired lumber, they would prepare a house at just level 20 or 30 They could easily realize the precious dreainners would leave equip inside their houses and even call their friends to throw parties Morata was their hometown and they even had a house; that was the rowing

Noriven because public safety and health would drop severely if h in other cities, so building a house took tons of money But Morata's land was on the cheap side, and public safety and health were quite good as well The Lord had ilance corps, and relief for the poor went on smoothly due to the Freya Church's influence, so there were hardly any thieves

”No village idealizes the shack more than this one does”

Pavo had built a considerable number of shacks The shacks he built were popular because they were sturdy and the inside space was also well designed A shack that had just been built had a char or breaking and leaking, but it wasin a shack that was like new

Adventurers, Merchants, and wealthy players who crossed over froh-class residences

”Please build me a house on a place that looks down on Morata You have to , and please use expensive materials, too”

There was also a lot of des, so Pavo worked hard The thousands of shacks, hundreds of luxury villas, Morata's bridge, and business buildings that he had personally built beca and Construction skill haven't been groell these days”

The proficiency from shacks was paltry The Fa a business building or villa were also decreasing

”I'll have to make a really awesome work”

Pavo's affection towards Morata was extre used by Merchants and residents, as an Architect, he was as fond of it as if it were his own city

”Let's try , Weed's request set the fire of challenge blazing in him, as an Architect He needed to make a work of construction for the sculpture about birth and death, as well as the countless dolls

”Inter is underway

The blueprint popped up as a translucent 3D i Mana, he could try setting up walls, columns, and even decorate the interior, as if he were actuallyskill had a limit to the overall size, and you couldn't use diverseskill were inseparable The materials and new styles that were applied in Construction were able to instantly influence the Designing skill and develop it Things like the arrangement of furniture and the structure of the house were co a blueprint, you could even give instructions to laborers

Pavo's Designing skill was Inter able to construct a castle, but he could certainly arden

”They're the skills that made 3 deluxe villas at once”

Pavo made the blueprint with an enormous structure

Weed said he had made the dolls for some child

”That noble aim I can't disappoint it”

Weed had perh money to barely make one house However, Pavo planned to invest in ly for the construction

”Let's bring in good trees and flowers froarden about one and a half acres, and the area of the building has to be at least 8 acres”

Envisioning the ultin that he had never made before He intended to make use of his fortune as an Architect, the profession that was said to have thethat orthy of e Morata

”As an artist, it's ridiculous that Weed didn't have a single space worthy enough to display his sculptures”

He would make it so that Weed's sculptures could be put on display, allowing the residents and adventurers to see theht into production because the as so tremendous

Pale was in the eon when a whisper caround prison It erous, but please send me one person or so

The Eround prison was very co and countless monsters everywhere Since there was apparently a ht recklessly

<tbody>

- I understand

After ending the whisper, Pale spoke to his party ”Weed asked that we send one person”

”Shall I go?” Hwaryeong stepped forward at once, as if she'd been waiting for it There was no way she would miss an opportunity to be with Weed for the first time in a while

”Of course Weed would welco, but he says he needs soo too?”

”What'll you do here if I go?”

”We'll figure it out somehow It's fine since we have Da'in, too”

Pale's party fulfilled veryquests side-by-side while getting the book possessing the 'Secret of Manufacturing Ancient Breastplate' Even though the quest they were currently doing had a difficulty of C, it was dangerous dungeon hunting where they were attacked by erous for the people left behind if both Hwaryeong and I go?”

”Maybe It depends on how long Zephyr can hold on, but it'll definitely be a bit dangerous, huh?”

As a party that lacked a Warrior or Knight, it was true that they were uneasy whenever they did a dungeon exploration Even though Zephyr took charge of defense, it was tough when there were a lot ofharassed the monsters with her Confusion Dance or Seduction Dance, so if both she and Irene were gone at the sareatly iel, Da'in stepped forward

Shaman was the profession that could be called the jack of all trades! She had striking power, but it was also her specialty to soundly beat up theher cudgel, Da'in occasionallyhas to be done by hand after all There's no fun in hunting without the taste of giving a beating”

Theout in Pale's party

Zephyr nodded ”Miss Da'in can be relied on since she can detoxify and even cure Looks like Hwaryeong and Da'in can go together and help hio to the underground prison, Yurin drew a picture based on Weed's explanation In the picture, Yurin, Da'in, and Hwaryeong were standing next to Weed at the entrance of a dark prison The advantage of Picture Teleportation was that multiple people could be moved at once Granted, the teleportation of an absurd number of people was impossible since everyone had to be drawn on one sheet They also couldn't teleport too deep underground due to the Mana limitation

”Picture Teleportation!”

Yurin, Hwaryeong, and Da'in disappeared, as if they were sucked into the drawing Then, as if swaying into being, they suddenly appeared in the place where Weed aiting, the entrance to the underground prison

MOOOOO!

Yellowy greeted thelad to see them He was a male, and as the special characteristic of an art creature, he liked beautiful people

”Ohh, what a handsoently stroked Yellow's neck It was a happy moment for Yelloent slack-jaith a naive expression

”Oppa, how h?”

”He's a top of the line Korean cow I added a little more to the special parts, like ribeye”

”He looks tasty Oughta be pretty good if you slow-cooked him and ate the bone brothbecause she was in front of Weed! Yellowy's complexion lost all color

In the meantime, Weed and Da'in saw each other

Da'in's face had beconize due to the afteret rid of the curse, but she had left it in order to see how Weed was getting along

Da'in bowed lightly at the waist first as she greeted hireeted hi hi time

Weed introduced himself briefly ”I'm Sculptor Weed So you're the Shaman introduced by Pale”

”I'h Weed's eyes Ever since he heard that there was a Shae coincidence

”Da'in and you say you're a Shaman”

”Why?”

Weed shook his head as if to clear so It's just that I recalled an old memory for a bit”

”What kind of memory was it?”

”It's just astory” Weed spoke coldly because he had remembered the bittersweetin order to sightsee after hearing the news that he had arrived at the entrance to the underground prison There were also people who had followed him from the Matallost Church's teet to the objective quickly

”Let's go into the underground prison first and chat later”

Weed pulled out his sword and advanced He had used Sword Grind and Ar hiel as she chanted a spell Weed was encased in the effects of a spell that aility, movement speed, and attack speed, and even hardened his skin The effect was to the extent that it was unbelievable that she was a north increased by over 230, and his movement speed also becath, like he had dropped off heavy luggage With his Staility increased, he felt like he could run like the wind and leap from cliff to cliff He felt as if he could run like a cheetah!

'She's an incredible Shaht to himself

One of the finest Shamans in Morata, the proficiency of her skills was far froe

”What a treeon I didn't think it'd be this deep”

The Warrior Hon looked around hiround prison boasted a massive size, as well as a complex labyrinth and various test subjects The level of the h side, and the traps were numerous too The Thief players in the party tried to disable all the traps, but it still took the on the path to the place where the priests of the Matallost Church were tied up

There were over 40 players who had received the 'Rescue the Prisoners of the Matallost Church' quest together, and their levels were fairly high as well They were only able to coeon all the way to this point because they had the help of players like the Explorer and Elementalist

The Paladin Billeo said, ”Because it's an underground prison underneath the Eeon About when do you think Weed will coician Easton lit a bonfire idly as he replied ”We heard he left Morata, so won't it take him about five days or so?”

Gallic looked unconvinced ”That fast?” He meant that was too quick compared to how much they themselves had suffered

”We told hiot rid of all the traps, he should easily be able to get here in four or five days Though it er, y'know”

Hon made a decision as the party's leader ”Then since we can't waste our time either, let's hunt in the area while ait”

”Shall we?”

”Look around you The others are all hunting too”

There was a considerable nuround prison Because it was a place where light didn't shi+ne in, it was inhabited by hideous demons or creatures that had been cursed by the Eh level For the ed

”He should be able to get here within five days if he hurries”

Weed closed in on the Dark Knights guarding the entrance to the underground prison Since he was appreciating the effects froendary sculpture and also had the Sha

”The enehts”

They were the gatekeepers of the Embinyu Church An exco the Dark Knights, but they absolutely had to be taken down in order to enter the underground prison It had only been a short aatekeepers when a certain nuathered They needed at least 20 people in order to fight the Dark Knights at ease!

Weed was going to fight the, Da'in, and Yurin

'It'll just be cumbersome if there are too many people'

There were a lot of tiht this h If there were ony he would feel then would be indescribable!

”What, is he going to go hunt with just those people? Is he crazy?”

”You saw in the broadcast He's super strong”

”He succeeded in the quest because there were a lot of barbarians who helped hiround prison if we fight with him”

”Let's just wait and see for now He'll probably ask us to help if he needs it”

The God of War Weed Without concealing their excite able to become his teammate, the watchers looked on froht away to help hith That was because being in the sa spoke as if worried, ”Around what level are the knights?”

”In the early 330s The Elite Dark Knights are about 380” There weren't any Elite Dark Knights here, but Weed explained for now ”If the knights have firm wills, the Seduction Dance probably won't ell on the his tail Besides the Charm skill that was vital for her as a Dancer, with the combination of her clothes and accessories, there was no man ouldn't fall over if she flirted with her flashy and evocative dance

”It's just that my Health is low I'll die pretty quick if I take a hit froht; do you think it'll be okay?”

”I'll draw their aggro first, so please dance after that”

”I'll only believe in you, Weed”

The Dark Knights recognized Weed and reacted

”Our church's eneion's headquarters and caused the High Priest's death”

”The vicious guy who lured in the uncivilized barbarians with his cunning tongue and challenged us, the followers of a sacred purpose, has coe

The charge of knights!

There were le cohts did offer to fight one to one However, such a regulation didn't didn't apply to Weed He had become an enemy who could not coexist with the Embinyu Church

Clink clink clink

Rushi+ng in with the sound of their arhts was treh to deal a wound even on the forht of their great are was blocked with a shi+eld Cases where you were paralyzed from the impact were also numerous

But Weed had a defense skill as well

Close Eyes Tightly!

It was a Warrior technique that raised Perseverance and Toughness through the restriction of vision

That wasn't all; he hardly used it, but the Moonlight Sculpting Blade was a skill that integrated attack and defense When he used it as an attack skill alone, he could ignore the enee It was thanks to the characteristic of a Sculptor, who carved into actual ht It was also possible to use light to blind the eneht to use it for defensive purposes There were the disadvantages that it couldn't block a physical bloell as a ic attack and consuotten fro with it had been fearsos spread out, he had penetrated the clump of monsters A precise swords at rollercoaster-like speeds! He could have also shot out light and hit them, but the Mana consumption was too severe if he did that Even when he tore the his sword himself, it only took a moainst theht norly in just 30-40 seconds with the Moonlight Sculpting Blade Granted, he had to rest for a long ti the battle since he used up almost all his Vitality and Mana

He could also use the Wings of Light that had been granted life to bypassmethods he could use were endless

However, there was alht to the best of his ability The biggest fighting opportunity had been when he was seizing the E Hydra, and Iht better than he had expected He tried to reveal his true skills for a bit when cutting the King Hydra's necks all at once, but he was so tired that it had ended all too blandly

”I' his own growth, Weed was at the point where he was bored of hness in a fight where he had to do his best For the ultis he needed to sacrifice out of necessity

The underground prison was said to havewould go on continuously, he couldn't rely on a skill that consuround around me into mud”

The earth spirit was summoned in the blink of an eye It was fresh since Weed had , and it was an obedient spirit In his current state of very accelerated Mana recovery, he could use as many spirits as he wanted

”I came because I received the command of Weed-nim, the most handsome man in the Versailles Continent I will ht away”

Other spirits were arrogant and wasted a lot of tih intimacy with the Elementalist, it was rare for them to be obedient However, Dirtround the knights were charging on soon transfor knights scattered and struggled on the place that had beco-like

”What's that spirit?”

”Is it an earth spirit? It appeared so quickly!”

That was the surprised reaction of the people who saw Dirt of absolute charisma! I have completed thy command Do you have any ”

Weed spoke as if being generous ”You ht with us too”

”Thank you, Master I shall not forget this kindness I will treasure it deep inside my earth”

Dirthts There wasn't e to speak of since it was dirt, but rocks were cleverly hidden inside so the Dark Knights had no choice but to fight it Dirt it was a spirit Since Weed currently had overflowing Mana, there was no need to be stingy

”Dirtman, you may use as much of my Mana as you want”

”I am honored, Master”

BOOOOM!

Lines of dirt flew into the sky like arrows

Weed ran into the bog that where the Dark Knights were in round before his feet beca

”The foe of the Eood you ca very preoccupied due to thetheir swords at Weed

They were big knights, but their heights were about the sas were sunken in thetheir dirtied swords The sword Weed swung rang out with a beautiful sound as it flowed on the swords of the Dark Knights in succession

Claaaaassh!+

As if a blizzard was being split, a path was cut through the flock of Dark Knights

”Bone Cutter!”

”Sharpness Blade!”

”Illusion Sword!”

The swords of the Dark Knights shi+ned as spells were cast A dah the opponent's bones! A skill that penetrated by concentrating strength into sharpness! The Dark Knights even used a skill that divided a sword, turning it into five

The Dark Knights surrounded Weed and unleashed their attacks Weed turned violentlyHe avoided the Bone Cutter that would deal a fatal wound if he took a direct blow to his bare body, and he twisted to the side to avoid the sword that ca them, the sword that was divided into five attacked him

Weed's eyes flashed 'There's always a weak point to skills like this'

The decisive disadvantage that strength and dae would be dispersed!

”Sword Dance”

Weed agileyhis sword to parry all five of the attacks

”Arghh!”

It seereat shah they had put away their high pride to try a combined attack, they hadn't been able to kill Weed

”Bone Cutter!”

”Keep attacking!”

A eel After leaping into their midst, he used his enee that was close enough for their skin to touch

'Close coht'

Swords They unleashed their swordsed attack skills like lunges With flashy effects, they displayed as ht The Swordsh leveled they becae in hunting

On the other hand, Weed believed in the single Sculpting Blade andWith the least Mana consuh close coh the knights were quick and sharp, he was experienced and could avoid them fairly well

'And they're s or hly predict where an attack would land just by looking at the foot hts and their attack directions in his head and st them

'If you're fast and sreater numbers'

His sword flowed and burrowed in while parrying

The Sword Mastery skill that had risen to Intermediate 7 became Weed's foundation in battle As his Sword Mastery skill was higher than the Dark Knights', there were many cases where his opponent's attack skills were nulled when he beat them at a precise strike point

”Triple!”

Weed used only the bare hts as if sweeping through He hid his Sculpting Blade, which could be called his patented move, in order to avoid the attention of the onlookers That was because not showing a considerable portion of his skills would be helpful in a nasty situation Sculpting Blade was effective when facing a er than a norhts or Warriors

”Ack!”

”He got through”

The Dark Knights groaned heavily, but they didn't fall That was because they had i full plate arhts were so tricky to face However, the dae didn't end with small wounds, due to Weed's sword, the Daemon Sword that was said to have cleaved the devil

<tbody>

- Dae Curse

A part of the body has frozen, so Strength and Agility will fall greatly

- Daehtmare Curse

Evil spirits will rush in to cause optical illusions; after willpower has been weakened, they will rapidly disintegrate the body

The Dark Knights fell into chaos fro used the instantaneously created opening to push into the knights

”Seduction Dance!”

The sensual bubi bubi, which could only be seen in a club or a night stage!

otten, this is a dance that involves grinding and generally sexyto the name, bubi bubi, which translates literally to ”rub rub” — it is not derived frorazed past, the Dark Knights froze in their tracks They drooled with hazy eyes and even lost their rown enormously in the time while they had been apart, so as she danced, a butterfly flew around and floere strewn about

”A dancerthe Flower Scattering skill!

As Hwaryeong danced, she left an inviting fragrance in her wake Over 10 Dark Knights were charht for an instant

”Arrrghhh!”

Weed easily hunted down the Priest eak defense first Killing Priests didn't take long since their Health was low even if they were high leveled By the ti Weed had decreased by three thanks to Hwaryeong's work

”Too easy”

Weed and Hwaryeong were perfectly in sync

Weed slipped past the attacks of three Dark Knights with ease as he unfurled an aggressive counterattack
