The Legendary Moonlight Scluptor

An epic battle

Weed's and party's battle finished very quickly, his teammates slightly dazed trying to digest the situation. Previously they were very nervous when faced directly with the five muscular lizard monsters. But strangely the fight was instantly over even before Surka and Pale fought seriously.

“Is this just a coincidence? Or are they this weak?"

"No, it must be because of Weed, what skill just now?"

Pale and Surka complained almost simultaneously.

Weed grimaced softly, "Uh, emm-" He scratched his head even though it was not itchy.

"Your level is rising rapidly huh. No wonder you don't even need us anymore." Romuna folded both hands on her chest.

"Eh! Said who? Of course not." Weed shook his head resolutely, "Actually this skill is very wasteful mana, disposable directly spend 300 mana, even for the weakest skill. I won't be able to use it more than three times in a row."

"Huh?"

"Seboros that?"

Weed was deliberately silent waiting for his team's shock to subside.

Pale frowned, "Intermittantly, "He was too stirred by this incongruity. "Where I live 230, it means I can't even activate the skill though. Then tell us how much of it you have that you could use three times?"

"900 is a little bit more." Weed replied lightly.

"Oh My God!" Pale's eyes and mouth were gaping wide.

Romuna the mage and Irene the priest had about 500 mana. Although higher above their level but that is normal considering their profession which relies on where. But Weed, a scluptor, managed to make their jaws almost fall to the ground.

Finally Weed told the story behind the peculiarity. The story from the beginning of the quest about the profession, the, do not forget to tell about Mr. Counselor the star of wisdom to the end of a slightly sad story that he felt cheated when getting the Legendary Moonlight Scluptor profession permanently and can not be challenged.

Players generally choose the average profession at level 5. While in front of them was a player who had just chosen a profession at level 60 even after going through a series of tough tests, instead ended up becoming a scluptor.

'Indeed a little pathetic.' After a long sigh Pale gave a small smile as he patted Weed on the shoulder, "Weed, listen, you are not an ordinary scluptor, but a Legendary Moonlight Scluptor." He deliberately emphasized the name of the hidden profession in order to resuscitate Weed.

"It's a secret profession that not everyone has the chance to get. And the good news is, I now finally know that you're a famous celebrity in the middle of town." Pale continued again after being silent for three seconds, he smiled very wide almost like a grin that contained the meaning of a shrimp behind the bakwan.

“Celebrities?” Weed asked back.

"Say there was a wise scluptor who sold cute statues in Searbough fort. We wanted to stop by and buy some but it's a pity our money wasn't enough." Irene explained with a sad face, like children who can not afford the desired toys. His eyes glazed over as he looked at Weed. It was obvious what he wanted from Weed.

“I don't intend to keep it a secret from you guys, by the way I will make a special sculpture for you guys later." Weed smiled cheerfully without anyone knowing his true heart, 'My new money field.'

“Thank you, Weed!”

"Weed is the best!"

"Well, Weed!"

The three girls there shouted in excitement, they did not stop praising Weed by brandishing both thumbs.

Pale cleared his throat, "I also want one if you don't mind."

Finally Weed really promised to make a special statue for his separty colleagues later.

"Now has enough rest. Let's kill some more monsters. This quest has a time limit, we'd better finish it before it's too late."

"Sure!"

Weed continued to lead his separty comrades against the monsters blocking the way. Sometimes Weed left critical damage to the enemy so Pale or Surka would continue with a few attacks and kill them quickly.

While Romuna is tasked to eliminate one or two monsters from a distance if there are more monsters that can be handled by the party.

The rest were defeated by Weed and Surka who were close combatants. While long-distance fighters will take a break to recharge mana. The coordination of their combat tactics was perfectly suited to each other.

Previously they had fought against many types of monsters, foxes, wolves, and bears now their hunting victims turned to the slightly smarter giant lizards.

Their hunting speed was faster than when Weed was hunting alone in a hidden dungeon in a litvart dungeon. Of course it was also very different from Litvart's dungeon expedition Quest when Weed was with Rosenheim's invanter. Now Weed was in a team which meant the EXP gained would be collected and divided equally.

Weed did not need to intervene directly to kill the monster that had been dying by his own attack. Even if he only watched the fight, he would still receive a little EXP due to his small contribution, but such cowardice was not Weed's name.

"Wow! These lizards are richer than they seem, aren't they?" Surka exclaimed cheerfully as she saw the amount of equipment and items dropped by the slain monsters. There are steel gloves, chest protectors, and rings.

Where is Ring :

Effect: Increase 3% of maximum amount of mana

This was the first time the party had seen such a ring-like accessory.

"Who's gonna take this?"

Hearing Surka's question, everyone looked at each other. Eventually the ring ended up in Irene's hands. They all agreed that the battle would be safer if the priest had plenty of mana to support the party.

Basically the rule of the item drop division in their party is who gets it he will have it. Different cases if rare items are found, often change ownership, depending on the decision of the party chairman. But other common items sold in stores are free for anyone to pick up. Sounds like an absurd rule, but they find it acceptable given the nature of everyone in the party.

Because if they assign to one person to be a drop warehouse the item must be the person will faint in the middle of the road due to carrying the item out of capacity. That's why they made the rules will let anyone who wants to collect drop items according to his ability.

Usually it was Weed and Surka who liked to pick up drop items, because their position as close combatants was very profitable.

After just now finished discussing about the drop items and other advantages, they all agreed to break through the fortress of the monsters. When the battle begins, they will not stop until the battle is over.

But still, they did not hurry, choosing to walk casually down the valley which was now empty of momplong. In the middle of the road they often take a break to recharge the energy, as now.

"We've killed 40 more monsters here."

"And the official hunt is just about to begin! How many more monsters do you think we should kill?"

Irene and Romuna were busy discussing their hunt this time.

Weed smiled slightly at her, "Listen, you all know that these lizards live in groups?"

Irene nodded doubtfully, "Um-maybe. But clearly they were more than a pack of orcs."

"Well that! What I see is their attitude is very fond of the region where they have families and shelter. What if someone wants to take it?" Weed looked at his comrades one by one.

"Of course they will fight with all their might!" Surka bertos ria as if to find the miracle of the seventh world.

Weed gave his two thumbs up, "100 for you Surka. The persistence! That's what makes players afraid of these green lizards."

"Skewers."

"Green."

Romuna and Irene looked at each other for a moment, they were as thought, feeling a little annoyed by Weed's name. For a monstrous monster isn't the lizard too cute. But they eventually chose to ignore it.

"Don't that mean we're in trouble now?" Pale looked at Weed like he was asking for consideration for plan A and plan B before returning to action. Everyone was anxiously looking at Weed's signature smirk. Looking forward to the surprise that this magical man will create for them.

"You could say we're in a dangerous situation under normal circumstances, but now it's different, we can count on Darius and friends."

"Darius--ah." Pale nodded small.

Hearing from Weed's explanation they only realized where his high confidence came from.

"What does that mean? Please explain, me-ohhh! Oh my! I get it now!" Surka again exclaimed cheerfully, feeling already very clever like guessing the hardest crossword puzzle in the world.

With Darius and his partner, then all the fights will not be one-sided in them, he said, of course all the monsters here are busy fighting in the front row to fight Darius the cause of the main disaster and only tell part of it here to guard the nest.

"Darius really helped us." Romuna agreed with Weed's idea.

"It's a good thing Weed's waking us up."

After going through a long journey of breaking through several guardian monsters, they finally met the end point of the fight, as they had reached the center of the fortress of monsters.

Now, those monsters should be fighting fiercely against the expeditionary forces that had invaded their beloved territory. That is, the center of the fortress would be almost abandoned, guarded only by a handful of guardian monsters. But what is different from the reality, here are more monsters guarding the fortress, very unexpected.

Weed even guessed that this fortress had a hidden treasure vault. He willingly climbed the Western mountains to get to this place indeed because of the village head Baran's quest but behind that, he had his own agenda.

"Everyone listen, now we're going to fight with more enemies, which means from here on our fight will be a little difficult. You ready?!" Weed asked his teammate.

“Sure!” Surka replied with enthusiasm.

"Be careful! Don't let those lizards gang up on us." Weed's Warning. His charisma as a leader seemed truly alive. Like a pro artist, Weed was very keen on that one task.

As the opening, Surka advanced first to lure little by little monsters into their trap area, "Hey ugly lizard!" Surka managed to hook a group of monsters who were relaxing like on the beach.

Crewman!

Because his agility is quite high, then his success rate in attracting the attention of a group of monsters also produces satisfactory results.

"I'm here! Come after me if you can!" Surka poked her tongue to mock the monsters.

Surely his silly behavior managed to increase the anger of the monsters, "Humans! I'm gonna slit your throat!"

Not far from there Weed and Pale were ready with a bow in each hand. The story is they are practicing bows together while waiting for Surka's arrival.

Sweesh!

Weed was very proud of his shot, just as he was about to smile while raising his chin high, he was immediately surprised to see some other arrows that had hit the target several times, the culprit was Pale. Weed reflex turned his head to the side of his mouth gawking at the speed of Pale's hand when shooting a bow that was almost like being blown by a typhoon.

From here their skill difference looks very far like heaven and earth. Though Weed's archery skill had developed considerably more than when he was hunting goblins. Yet he still could not possibly rival the Pale skill that his profession as an archer had because he had never let go of his bow.

For Pale his arrow to move so fast even before it pierced the target, the next arrow already following behind him was no longer a strange thing. Because from the first time he entered the archer profession he had honed his Chain Shot and Penetration skills, which made his arrow stronger.

Weed gave up in shock with his partner, he chose to focus on the target, when it felt right enough he immediately shot the next arrow. As a result, the damage from him was still low, but his archery skill still increased.

In essence, this was thanks to Weed's very unlikely nature if he just sat back and watched his enemy whine. 'Why am I only watching if the enemy is in sight? Ah not the enemy but the precious EXP, kekekeke.'

Weed loved to hunt and hunt, but he never got bored when he started, nothing could stop him, he was like a madman obsessed with pursuing the most precious treasure in the world, his eyes sparkling brightly, his spirit exploding, "Yatz, yatz, yatz!"

Irene and Romuna looked at each other and giggled together. They had talked about the blazing spirit of his to Weed, he admitted that he could not resist. For him it was the roar of victory that came out only when he was too excited.

Fortunately Weed's spirit exclamation had never invited monsters towards their team. Although they all had to bear the shame of being caught by another party.

'Weed was usually an adult, but sometimes he was also childish. Humane sih.' Irene daydreamed of Weed's habits whose spirit sometimes burst out of control.

They immediately prepared in their respective places when they heard Surka's voice.

Shortly thereafter Surka came back to this hiding place with six monsters. Weed instantly slashed the heads of two monsters at once upon seeing them. The rest he left for his comrades, so that they would not lose valuable EXP either.

If he forced to finish off all the monsters alone, then he too would be harmed, his mana would run out first. His party was forced to rest so that he could recharge the mana. It would only be a waste of time, it could even be that the timing quest would run out first before they saved the sandra. The point is that life should not be too greedy, it should be stable.

Damn two monsters rampaging at Weed, they attacked him blindly to take revenge for his comrade's departure. Fortunately the other two tails are still focused on chasing Surka who is still cool in spinning on them, more precisely to drain their energy.

Weed of course fought back no less fiercely. Before long, the notification from the system clanked, reminding him that the durability of his sword was already below 10%. Weed only realized when he noticed his broken sword here and there, almost destroyed, had to be repaired immediately. Because from the beginning he had fought without rest.

"Save the iron sword!" In the middle of the fight Weed retreated for a moment to put the dying sword into the inventory. Replacing attacks with fists, Surka's flagship skill.

“Quick Shadow Blow!” Weed's fist attacked the monsters nonstop. Funnily enough, he called out the name of the skill without actually activating it. Because from the beginning he had never learned this skill, let alone used it. He only capitalizes on imitating Surka's movements as far as he knows.

Although without activating the original skill, but Weed's punch was also very extraordinary, thanks to his martial arts training for this year.

Pabaabak!

Weed's rapid movements were not even visible. As he blindly punched the monsters, his intermediate handicraft skill added 50% damage to the monsters.

Weed quickly cornered the enemy, his fists hitting their internal organs at every reproach.

“Ugh!”

"This guy's punch is so painful!"

The two monsters complained simultaneously, their strength could no longer attack him, now they were indeed pushed back but still did not want to budge. Although battered, the two monsters still attacked Weed with swords.

In essence, between the two monsters and Weed were both obsessed with defeating each other's enemies. They can't be stopped until one of them dies.

Weed's footsteps were very light, every movement he took there would be a vital piercing blow on the monster's body. His body moved as he wished, resting on his ankles and waist to support his fist force, until it hit the target's abdomen and chest.

"Kuh!" Fresh blood spurted from the mouth of one of the monsters.

"Basic crazy people! It's called cheating! You hit in the same place repeatedly!" The other monsters exclaimed in annoyance while wailing in pain, just like his partner, his body was no less battered, fresh blood had already splashed out several times from his mouth.

Weed grinned to mock the enemy, "Did I care?"

The monster that Surka was fighting was a little grateful not to be Weed's target, if not-so

"Ukh!"

Surka punched him with all her might, "Hey! You have no right to look at the others!"

“Surka! Weed's! Keep pressing them!” Irene wanted to be proud of Weed but she was too busy healing those who fought on the front lines as well as on the back lines. He must move quickly and respond. Because if he was late in the slightest then the life of his teammate at stake, he should not be careless in a crucial moment like this.

"Don't worry!" Weed smiled broadly at Irene's instructions. He really enjoyed this new activity, punching. And finally he realized a new hobby, punching the enemy is more fun than attacking with the sword, because he can feel the sensation of fighting for real.

"Luck!" Weed admired this refreshing sensation. He turned his mighty fist while shouting in excitement.

Making his opponent a little squeaky, 'Crazy man!'

'He's like he's going to grill and then eat us.'

On the other hand, Romuna and Pale were still struggling to get rid of the other two monsters that had cornered Surka.

Back again with Weed who continued to fight without any real results. Two monsters who became his opponent were indeed beaten all out but his life seemed reluctant to float.

New Stat: Fighting Spirit!

The Stat Window again clinked at Weed's column. This stat is usually obtained by warriors in their first adventure. When sharpened can reduce damage from enemies, it can even increase a little HP a player.

A player could have shared a level-up status bonus on the Fighting Spirit stat, but the majority of players chose to let it develop on its own and continue honing the skill with melee attacks. But back again, life is a choice.

After the Fighting Spirit stat was added to his stats, Weed's movements became more efficient. Upon learning how much mana Irene had, Weed smiled in a knot, then deliberately let the enemy sword hit her body. Because his new stat will increase when hit by an attack. These so-called strong people are created from pain and suffering.

And Weed was the type of person who happily accepted as much as any monster attack as the goal could be achieved, of course as long as Irene was enough to support her mainstay.

Though Royal Road is a virtual reality that approaches the real world, because no matter how small the pain you get here will have the same impact in your real life. But Weed endured all the pain, no, he enjoyed it.

"Keeekkk!"

One of the monsters finally exhaled its last breath after shouting horribly.

Weed achieved his own feat because he could kill lizard monsters with just a fist.

The remaining three monsters were cornered by Romuna, Pale and Surka, eventually dying as well.

Weed had killed three monsters alone, but it was not easy without Irene's help to regenerate her HP.

In the end a victory requires not only a hard fight but also a solid comrade-in-arms.
