Dark clouds started to gather in the sky and burst with rain It was as if so a sudden downpour
The rain soaked Weed, Seo Yoon, Van Hawk, Torido and the E started”
The rain continued without abating Until the Great Disaster Nature Sculpting was fully active, the four of theh the rough weather

“Master This is the end for ht with you to the end”
Van Hawk, having reached the limits of his health, was unsummoned
If Weed could have afforded the tied Van Hawk and sent him to the rear But there was just no opportunity to take his eye’s off the situation Arrays of spells froicians were sent toward hie and block roup><col width=”592”></colgroup><tbody>Magic Attack You were hit by Nurun’s SpearHealth decreased by 869 </tbody>
Weed’s health fell below 34,000 and Seo Yoon was only staying afloat due to her Berserker endurance Seo Yoon was heavily injured as she went forth against the Deet for curses and spells She fought without a care for herself, delivering more attacks than Weed
Rain beat down heavily, slightly weakening the spells and arrows and helping theer
“At this rate, we are all going to die”Droplets of rain fell down from Weed’s face The Head Priest Belloni and his personal forces were coe of the Pyramid Beloere the cries of Demons and Cultists as they stu on their own troops on the ground, causing the air to be filled with shrieks of agony
Then, the disaster that Weed had been waiting for, finally started
The place that the Pyramid and the Lion Monstrosity was built on was nearby the Rosenhei that the heavy rain was just raising the river level slightly, began to notice that it was over flooding
“Aarrg!”“Water Water is rushi+ng towards us!”Water began to overflow, expanding everywhere Soon, the Cultists, De water level didn’t show signs of stopping as it began to rise even htening a the an to flood
Great Disaster Natural Sculpting Great Flood!
Waves the size of a house, slammed into Embinyu forces
Kueeik!The violent waves toppled Karaclops with its strength Theto look for a way to survive But the whole vicinity was flooded ater
The water level quickly rose passed the knees and engulfed the enee weapons, rocks and, trees recked and floated about The previous roaring Embinyu Cultists and Demons drowned under the flood and were swept away
Weed grinned happily as he watched the proceedings
“This really is theskill”
But, Weed was still uncertain about the dae the flood caused to the Embinyu army He was certain that the relatively weak Cultists would have no hope of surviving the flood The Cultists could even have been killed instantly when they were swept by the torrent
However the powerful Deh health and resistance The probability of h
With the Embinyu army in disarray and swept up by the flood, noas the chance!
Weed used his skill toward the Lion Monstrosity

Weed’s level was reduced to 405, and his Art stat was consumed But the end results was the Lion Monstrosity of Rosenhei to life
“Graaar!”
The Lion Monstrosity woke up with a great howl
“Gro-rol?!”
When it tried to step forith it’s front limbs, it slipped and flopped in the water that came up halfway to its body It was a less than stellar first introduction, but it wasn’t the first or second time Weed saw such acts from his sculptures
“What isLion Monstrosity stuck it’s head toward Weed as it asked The Lion Monstrosity was similar in size to the tall Pyramid It’s body was that of a lion but it’s head was a close rese Theodrin
“Your name is Sphinx”“It does not matter if my name is Sphinx I have no plans to be loyal to aof honor”
The Sphinx had a strong tendency to it’s own identity and independence, and did not think highly of Weed as it’s ht such ht now
“Let’s sort this probleht”“The sea I desired”
The Sphinx gave a bellow as it ju swept away by the fast torrent with it’s mouth and crushed them with it’s forelimbs
“Destroy that lion!”“The culprit Weed is over there We !”
The E Demons But some of them were swept away by the torrent or disappeared under whirlpools The Embinyu Priests were in co river current
The Sphinx, which was the sa, splashed around the river and preyed upon the Embinyu forces
“Twenty Twenty one Twenty two”
Weed arh Elf Yurika bow and shot at the floating De onto the Pyra away the Embinyu forces
Grooooar!
The stroke of lightnings briefly showed Weed’s figure on top of the Pyra ai under the darkness with occasional light created an awesome scene
Weed continuously shot arrows, this tiet to the Eet the Priests which gave ood ti by
The effect of the Great Disaster Nature Sculpting was slowly receding and the rain was stopping But the water level around the Pyra more violent
“With this much, I have done what I could”
Weed was not satisfied with the amount of Embinyu Priest he farmed but felt that it was tinificantly due to the siege in Serabourg Citadel and the flood But if they stayed here any longer, there was a real possibility that the ree themselves fully

Head Priest Belloni and his personal forces, the giant Demons that were scattered by the flood When the disaster ended, they would recover and come in full force It ise to hurry out of where they were, when considering the kind of ene after them
“I do not wish to depart from this place”“Why?”“I have to protect this place I will protect king Theodrin’s tomb till the end”””
The Sphinx chose the Pyra life on a sculpture! When it was a sculpture, it was ned to protect the Pyra bestoith life, the Lifeforht the Embinyu forces till it’s last breath
“You will die if you stay This precious life you received, is it not a waste to throw it away?”“There is awhat you have to protect”“Even then, come with ive two days breaks every year”But of course, there was no way he would keepcould guarantee his promise!
“I have already chosen my path Go, I will protect this place”
At the Sphinx’s faithful declaration, Weed’s eyes becaood that the rain didn’t stop yet It can hide my tears’
The tears were definitely not because Weed was touched by the Sphinx’s words His precious Art stat and level! Weed had invested his precious experience in bestowing life on the Sphinx and now due to its extre
“I should have thought this out before bestowing life I should have granted it life when I had plenty of time and then beat the education into hi here any longer to convince the Sphinx otherould put hierous situation
“Wy-Three!”Weed activated the Lion’s Roar And afro able to wash his face so he could reach theot on Wy-Three’s back, the flood current eakened The Embinyu forces that were swept up in the flood could now touch the ground The ground was a shamble with the half drowned Deicians and Priests began to ready their attack but the Sphinx protected them with it’s own body
“Go now!”
Weed and Seo Yoon fled on the back of Wy-Three and Torido fleay fro fro bravely but soon, it would be encircled by the Eht an uphill battle
“It looks like he won’tto escape with a Sphinx that couldn’t flyBut thanks to the Sphinx, Weed could escape without any probleees Rather, fly around and take a long detour”“Understood, Master”To prevent any possible pursuit, Weed co towards the refugees
Pass the hills and slopes was an endless procession of refugees! Seeing Weed and Wy-Three above, the refugees cheered and waved their hands
‘Doesn’t look like the Eave a major chase’
There were so monsters but that much could be handled by the players and the soldiers After Weed left to bait the Eed out But still, a decent number of players stayed behind to disconnect from another area
Weed continued to follow the refugees on Wy-Three’s back
“Here, I have soes around Seo Yoon’s ar the aftermath of the Berserker skill even after the battle had ended
Following after theees at the forefront finally do Citadel after detecting the signal fire
‘I can finally rest easy now’
Weed logged out, after feeling a bit fatigued
TL Note Reddit user believingunbeliever said I should leave notes behind about translation so here it is:
Lot’s of backtracking done this chapter I just found out there was a proper tery for ???? It’s an actual class in Heartstone, it’s the Warlock Every chapter has been adjusted to reflect the change in teries for this and the change it would cause to the reading experience
??? - Dark Magic
???? - Warlocks
Food cfile22uftistorycomyeon is a noodle dish and if you are in Korea, try it Cost about 6~7 and fills you up
Another skill tered: ???? ?? ??? - Great Disaster Nature Sculpting Vol 23 ch 8-9, Vol 24 Ch 7-8 changed This makes me scratch my head whenever it pops up, I think I already spent over an hour deciding how to ed it 4~5 tio with the reat)??(disaster) ?? ??? (nature sculpting)
Another title that I changed around: ??? ? - War God||God of WarApparently there is a character called ??? ? ?? in World of Warcraft or in English, War God Dokah Also, the author’s blog: blognaverco about this for about two e or not One of the proofreader Xandaar pointed out how I should mix it around to make the sentence sound better
War God - 2 syllables God of War - 3 syllables With ‘War God’ the sentence does flow more naturally as it is less ‘wordy’ I have decided that ‘War God’ will be the ‘title’ and God of War will be used when the context needs to be more descriptive
?? ?? - Lion Monstrosity
Rather than translating it immediately into Sphinx, it’s been translated to Lion Monstrosity, which honestly sounds awful But if you read through now, you should have noticed that Weed actually names the ‘Lion Monstrosity’ as Sphinx Therefore, the distinction between the two terms and the use of the awful, ‘Lion Monstrosity’
