Volume 25 Chapter 4: The Sculptures Zahab Wants To Leave Behind
Weed was in Zahab’s storage, observing for a long time
“If only I could secretly hoard them all somewhere…”
And store thee way more for the entrance fee
‘If I create a special Zahab sculpture gallery, I could charge 10 times more and everyone would still pay to come’
Weed’s eyes burned with passion as he looked at the sculptures
“Youthese a sculptures… I mean, they are precious treasures whose value cannot be estilanced at Zahab
‘If only a monster would appear…’
As a sculptor, Zahab could not be weak According to the rumours from the old handBlade!
It was still Weed’s first choice as an attack skill in battle Seeing how Zahab built a house and was living in the th was not ith
‘A freeforination, so the usual sculptingis i skill”
Weed was an old hand in sculpting sculptures based on symmetry and precision As he travelled around Versailles continent, he sculpted anything that caught his fancy so he was proficient in both observational and sculpting skills
But Zahab’s sculptures excelled even at expressing co his confession to a woman The sculpture body ell proportioned, hands and feet were ordinary But the fretful and happy ehly by the expression and the posture of the sculpture alone
A fawn looking around a field of flowers, expecting so, anticipating, for itsat the expression on the sculpture
With passion, the sculptor could express the subtle emotion to the finest point!
“These are really expensive… I mean, excellent sculptures”
“For you think like that, then I arateful If you are not busy then could you help me with some of my own sculptures?”
“What kind of sculptures are you still ?”
“There are two pieces of work I wanted to do for a long time I must make them before I die… I just cannot leave this place until I can co help So do you want to work together with me?”
<tbody>Zahab’s assistantThere are sculptures that Zahab was longing to make for some tireater honor as a sculptor than this

There was no reason for Weed to refuse this quest It wasn’t his sculpture so he wouldn’t even care if he ruined it!
“Yes, I will do it”
<tbody><li>You have accepted the quest</li></ul></tbody>
“But where is this sculpture you want toinside his workshop
A white marble sculpture with a basic outline of woman!
“I am sure it’s the same for every other sculptor, but I lived under the captivation of beauty found only in sculptures One of these days, I want to make a sculpture that expresses flesh and life, with the best proportions and ratio It’s my dream to express a woman who has divine beauty”
In art, women were the dominant the in Grapass for so long I seeot about womanly beauty Presently, this sculpture is theyou could help me with it
“What about the other one?”
“I have chosen a topic for it, but did not start on it yet We should do one at a ti the first one, I will tell you about it”
Zahab prepared his tools and material from his workshop for Weed’s use All of it was prely, you could produce 16 to 17 sculptures froinally asked for help, in reality, Zahab was the one assisting Weed as sculpting the outline and the subject reat opportunity as Zahab was aiding in the creation of a sculpture designed by Weed
‘What can I e sculpture would only create trouble Zahab’s standard of beauty would be high, as his first love, was Queen Evane While Weed was deep in thought, Zahab grabbed the sword hanging on the wall of his workshop
Weed had seen the shile he was observing the sculptures There was nothing special about it, the sas just ordinary with average attack
“I will be out for a short while”
“Where are you going?”
“Going out to get so materials and catch soht!
‘Now if he could just get himself killed’
Weed couldn’t wait around forever But on the other hand, he was curious to see how Zahab fought
“Could I coent to be done, so you can come”
Weed hurried after hiht As it could be dangerous, Gold Man, Yellowy and other sculpture lifeforms were left behind to rest in the cabin
‘If possible, the erous the better It would be nice for the boss ularly’
Zahab passed through the forest and entered a hidden cavity
It was an entrance to a dungeon! A dungeon in Grapass that Weed would have never dared to enter
“You will have to follow after eon, you have entered the Karajak’s habitat</li></ul></tbody>
“Kueh!”
Weed screa, thin legs like an ostrich It was a monster that could kill soh at its coth was cohtning fast speed and the ability to change directions in split seconds Karajaks travelled in herds so no guilds as of yet hunted these monsters as their pri 1~2 that were isolated, but even then the casualties were too high And no one could find the dungeon where Karajak appeared so it all blew over
‘Of all things it had to be a Karajak’s habitat, there won’t be 3~4 No, there will be an awful lot eon name, it was obvious that a lot of Karajak’s lived there
Baby Karajak, grown up Karajak, randpa Karajak, the Karajaks next door and all other sorts of Karajak! Two humans were just delivered as food to a family of Karajaks!
Weed did not know if he should be happy or upset, there was too uity with the situation
Then far away, some Karajaks appeared and ran toward the Blade!”
But as Zahab brandished his sword they collapsed easily It felt like the Karajaks passed theht
SCREECH!
As the Karajaks discovered the scene, they cried louder and athered Zahab slashed his sword that was covered in a sheen of light and they collapsed like scarecrows
Zahab was effortlessly slaying the lightning fast Karajaks
‘Are these ht against Karajak before After all, not all the infore boards is correct anyways’
Weed was curious and walked a few steps away from Zahab
BATABATABA!
He was kicked by Karajaks all over They ca and hit his head as well
<tbody>You received a critical hitDyspnoeic condition eed </tbody>
Not even a few seconds later his health dropped 20 If he stayed like this, with his laughable defense, he could die any , he returned to Zahab’s side
Zahab’s sas slaying Karajaks without mercy
‘His swords skill’
The incident with the assassins was not a coincidence
‘To be this strong’
Weed aiting to scrap for any chance, but Zahab’s hunting speed was so fast that it was impossible to squeeze in As Zahab defeated the Karajaks he picked up rare leather,the hunt like this, Weed made a decision
‘I need to be more friendly with hi back fro knife
“The shape of a wo divine beauty”
It was a theme artists, in ancient and modern times, sweated efforts and debated fiercely about without any results
Even if it was one person, the judgot older To say one woman possessed every aspect of beauty was an impossibility There were infinite varieties of preference by a host of different people How could he shape a woman who possessed divine beauty?
But there was an evil grin on Weed’s face
‘There is Seo Yoon’
In outward appearance, there is no one perfect like her There was even a ti skills The harmony created by Seo Yoon’s eyes, nose, lips and skin, it was enough toher!
Even if it was a sculpture of her, it was so beautiful he kept wanting to see it Other people who actually saw Seo Yoon, couldn’t believe if what they saas real or a dream and couldn’t keep their eyes off her
He could never fail a sculpture of Seo Yoon and she would be the perfect subject ht, this will do”
Overflowing confidence as a sculptor!
‘Considering Zahab’s standards, the theme and pose of the sculpture will be really important’
If he took a real life object as the background subject matter, there wouldn’t be any probleet
They were sculptures of monsters heuse of Zahab’s ular piece, he created many
He first sculpted a ss and Karajaks Thescene was expressed like a fairy tale In the scene, the boy did not give into his fears as he stretched out his hands to touch the monsters
He created a Fine piece nas’
This was merely practice
After that Weed decided to start on Zahab’s request
“Wouldn’t it be better to loosen your hands a bit ine a the”
“It’s okay, I can start now”
He began to make a sculpture in collaboration with Zahab
“The forearm must be smooth like this… the jaw line is difficult so I will do it”
While Weed was proposing the precise shape of the overall sculpture, he was also leading Zahab expertly
The beauty of the woman was not only on the outward appearance, the personal appeal was more precious and could achieve far more Weed stealthily revealed the hidden charm found in Seo Yoon, even he couldn’t help but think it was beautiful
These days, he ith Seo Yoon often so there were tiht she was just pretty But as he nificantlyprettier’
He felt he could understand why Master Daron continued to sculpt only one woman Now as he sculpted Seo Yoon, a variety of emotions surfaced within and he wanted to capture Seo Yoon’s precious expressions
He thought he found the joy of being able to sculpt a person
‘But for now, let’s finish the quest’
While regretful, hiswith Zahab could not be broadcast to theit and co was Weed’s money maker He needed to protect this secret
Of course he also had no desire to broadcast a sculpture of Seo Yoon
Every life was precious!
“Oh, this beautiful wo the piece, Zahab was falling enainable beauty
The sculpture of Seo Yoon was portrayed in a stately dress It was an attire that reflected Weed’s iood in a dress’
If she wore different cloth, her personal beauty could not be hidden even if she wore dirty armour But if Seo Yoon wore an exquisite dress that not just anyone could wear, it would flaunt her beauty co, Weed idealized the shape of a s skills, the fluttering of the fabric was perfectly sculpted!
She was stepping on a high pedestal, her gaze so for warmth!
It was a sculpture that inations But Weed knew the secret behind it
‘It’s the expression of befuddleether ’
It was aonly the creator would know
