Weed bellowed out a Lion’s Roar

He stood there, with his chest pushed out His right hand grasped lightly on the spear he had stabbed into the ground earlier Standing firer

“Kill Weed!”“We have to kill that bastard first! Our Lord Belloni coe fro Citadel The large aroal was to kill Weed

The effect of Lion’s Roar wasthe Embinyu Church’s attention

“Hmm”Even Weed did not anticipate such a reaction “My popularity is pretty a”The realization of his fame at such a crucial moment!

””

Seo Yoon stared at him with a blank expression She wondered just what kind of plan Weed had that he would so confidently provoke the Embinyu Church like this She couldn’t help but doubt his sanity

“I will be able to fight as much as I want”“Let’s start a festival of blood”Van Hawk and Torido prepared for battle And Weed, turned his back without a second thought

“Run for it!”Weed’s decision was to run

Of course, there was no way that Weed would have planned to die, fighting the Ehtless plan, was for Weed, the sa

Seo Yoon gave a s away seeing to draw the Embinyu Church’s attention And especially, what purpose did stabbing his spear into the ground or giving out a Lion’s Roar serve?

But there was a huge leap in logic between the two

‘For that few seconds, I must have looked cool’As a man, he also wanted to try that pose

Now that the whole army of the E left to do was run

The Dark Paladins, seeing that Weed was trying to flee, chased after him on horseback

“Time to run Van Hawk, open up a path”“Understood, Master”

Running ahead on his Phanto

Houyhing!The Dark Paladins, together with their horses, fell

This was the Van Hawk that Weed treated coldly for reducing his experience points and being useless But after levelling up, Van Haas showing his use as he made short work of these Dark Paladins Wherever Weed was, people instantly pictured the Death Knight next to hiht had becoht

“Forward! Continue pushi+ng through!”

The E to block their escape The beginner players watching on the hill could see groups of Cultists and De in perfect order as they slowly closed in on Weed

“Ah… I thought he said he was going to fight alone running away also works!”“Itto kill just one person”“Uwa! Itthe Derandeur

“We cannot stop here!”

Weed swung his Fire Lance Spear furiously

The defensive lines formed by the Dark Paladins and Deh most of the enemies could withstand such a blow, there was no time to follow up and kill them

“It’s bad form to leave prey alive… what a waste”

It was a miserable situation for Weed, when the monsters were stacked up for hiress of the battle was changing within the breath of a e to come after him In the vicinity were many Cultists, Dark Paladins and Witch Doctors as far as Weed could see

“All who cannot follow the will of Eroup><col width=”592”></colgroup><tbody>The curse sti Spirit decreased by 56</tbody>

“These foolish heathens will suffer in agony forever, without a hope of salvation”

<colgroup><col width=”592”></colgroup><tbody>Agony has been instigated, this will cause an additional 17 dae to your health on every attack</tbody>

Witch Doctors casted various hexes on Weed, Seo Yoon, Van Hawk and Torido All over Weeds body were se burning hands that ca, like a riverbank at dawn, liroups field of vision

It was as they said, the Witch Doctors of the Embinyu Church were hard to deal with In an instant, seven different curses were cast on the four of the about others is the most fun when there are plenty of people”Especially when you are talking behind their backs, 3-4 hours, time just flew by!

Before Weed and Seo Yoon went on to engage the Es as possible fros were counteracted, causing malaise and overall battle effectiveness to decrease

“Don’t stop running, we need to get past the Dark Paladins!”

Curses could be purged faster by receiving blessings or having holy artifacts Depending on the Resistance and Will Power, Dark Magic effects disappeared naturally over ti past the Dark Paladins that were attacking the four persistently

“I, Knight of Darkness Van Hawk, challenge anyone to a duel”“The loyal servant of Ee”

Van Hawk skillfully defeated the high ranked Dark Paladin! Weed was finally reaping the benefit of levelling up the Death Knight till now Weed, Seo Yoon and Torido also pitched in, clearing off the other Dark Paladins approaching them

Seo Yoon was fully awoken to her Berserker state Her attack strength was beginning to increase greater than nor off the monsters before they could approach Weed

The four of thehts, but after the already faced thee But having been slowed down by the Dark Paladins, the otten closer

The Cultists would most likely delay the in, soon they would be completely boxed in with no way to escape

“This is the sa all 6 of your credit cards declined”It was a situation that was stifling to breath in, with no way out in sight!

Weed looked at Van Hawk and Torido Thanks to the experience they had following hi that they were Undead, their tolerance to curses and poisons was high Van Hawk had serious injuries due to his fight against the Dark Paladins, but he could still hold his ground

Seo Yoon, in a show of strength, finished off the re Dark Paladins and Demons before they could come close The Berserker’s ability caused her true offensive potential to awaken as she defeated strong enemies

Weed with his Ice Troll traits to e down the eneroup><tbody>Due to the enemies low resistance to the cold, they are frozen </tbody>

Weed whirled his spear, crushi+ng the frozen Cultists and turning a high nuht

Curses became weaker over tiest problem hat they had to do next

‘I can’t positively say that we can outpace the pursuit, no matter how much we run But then, if we slip away too early, the Eees’

They had to buy time, pull the Embinyu Church’s attention continuously, and had to stay alive on top of everything else There was nothingthan this

“I could have slept in during the weekdays I could have du into one bowl and ate to my heart’s content I could have watched television on the weekend and loafed my time away Just my awful luck, and now I have to deal with this”

“Oohhhh!”“Kahahahaha”“Just like I told you This is Weed we are talking about Only Weed could have adventures like this!”

The tavern Bart was in was roith ot about their beer and appetizers and instead decided to watch Weeds adventure on the large crystal orb

Of course, Bart atching with the crowd

‘How is this any fun to watch? They got scared of soeon and now they seeroup’

But after a small amount of time had passed

‘Huh, this is a bit exciting, it strangely pulls you in It’s nail biting how close the refugees are skating with death’

And aWeed with just one co forward to act as bait

‘Oh! Such a decision…’

The tavern becae crystal orb as if they were hypnotized, forgetting to even refill their beer The crowd forgot about everything as they were swept up by the tension of watching Weed, Seo Yoon and his subordinates fleeing as the Eed their every steps

Bart, having no knowledge or experience of the battle ht Besides the wolves, foxes and rabbits, he had no idea how strong other monsters were He accepted, at face value of what he heard, the people’s praises for Weed’s greatness on the battlefield, of his prodigious skills, and his movements that no one could imitate

He could just feel that Weed was planning so he had with Weed was short, but he had come out with the impression that Weed was not someone ould jump in front of the whole army of the Embinyu Church without a plan

“But, that wo the mask next to hihter, could it?”

“Torido, take the left”“Understood Master!”

Torido called upon the Pure Blooded Vampire Clan The vampires increased their levels as they attacked the Cultists In a way, the Cultists were the best suited enemy for the Pure Blooded Vampire Clan as they had ‘pure’ blood

The shon between the Va place everywhere While there were also many Embinyu Priests, they tried to avoid the Va Weed took priority before anything else

Turning left, Torido was faced with a flowing river This was the place where the Pyra over the landscape

“Those who profane the Ehts joined in the pursuit, flying low to attack with their spears And from afar, spells and arrows continued to rain down on the closer and closer From the other side of the Pyraroups of De theercompletely encircled and isolated The E all possible escape routes Because the De back the Demons and Cultists to clear away from the Embinyu Church’s encircleain’

Seo Yoon was prepared to fight till the end Noto protect Weed till the last moment

“Don’t stop now, clian to scale the Pyramid As it was built as a Step Pyra up

Seo Yoon had soe in terrain

“Ah!”Having had an epiphany, Seo Yoon climbed the Pyramid

“We are vulnerable to the ene and choosing to fight till the end, it’s not bad Master”Torido and Van Hawk stepped onto the Pyra up

The Demons, Cultists and soldiers of the Embinyu Church were still after thehts with every step they climbed But with Weed and Seo Yoon, akened to her Berserker ability, the Wyvern Knights were not much of a hurdle With a third of their numbers left, they were even more persistent in their attack

Finally, Weed reached the capstone It was the king’s to out his heart and soul While he was the anointed lord of Morata now, before he was a vicious entrepreneur that tapped into his latent potential for business to ruthlessly exploit people without regret to build such an immense structure

Seo Yoon, Van Hawk, and Torido arrived at the stones right below hi fro fro the area The landscape was blackened by the Demons, Dark Paladins, Witch Doctors, Priests and Cultists crawling down below Even the High Priest Belloni had left behind the fla a personal force to the Pyraed to buy half the tih tiees to escape safely without any proble distance, they refugees would move slower Therefore, it was even more crucial for Weed to hold the Embinyu forces attention, now more than every

”Release Sculpture Transformation”Weed shi+fted froinal form He took off the leather armor he equipped temporarily and also put his spear into his backpack

At this cliht the eous body of the Ice Troll! The players watching the broadcast wondered why The viewers thought that in his rush, Weed made a tactical error and climbed up the Pyramid by mistake Suspicion creeped up in the ave up

“There is one advantage of living in a mountain town No matter how much it rains, it’s safe!”

Weed took out a sculpture from his backpack It was the Fine sculpture, ‘Heavy Rain and Flooding River’ The sculpture was carved out delicately fro, Weed carved rain and river water for the finishi+ng of the Fine piece
