The Legendary Moonlight Scluptor

The struggle finally ended

Nnng!

A thin blue light started emitting from the Iron Sword, then shrouded Weed's body from head to toe. That light managed to distract the skeleton knight, its focus was fully directed at the iron sword. The sword seemed to grow until it touched the ceiling of the dungeon.

"What's going on?" The girls were worried about Weed.

The shoom!

The air around seemed to be sucked by the sword. It was like gathering strength after the explosion.

Weed prepared himself to stab the opponent. Although most of the skills were slashes, the damage from the puncture was much stronger. Conversely, if the puncture is missed, then the opponent will strike back between the created blemishes.

The slash rests more on the weight of the sword. A slight change in balance between the waist, wrists, and footsteps of the sword user.

This was one of Weed's skills, turning space and time into profit. His body flexes rubber while dodging enemy attacks. Then counterattack by combining attack and defense.

This was the main reason Weed was able to successfully fight such a powerful monster, even though his HP and defense were inferior to other players. If not for this strategy, even he would have had a hard time fighting the skeleton soldier earlier.

Although there were only one or two steps left, Weed could feel all of his HP and mana draining from his body, slowly flowing to the tip of the sword.

The Skeleton Knight's jaw gaping saw Weed's strength.

'Done!' A little display of this skill alone was enough to satisfy Weed. However, before the attack hit the Skeleton Knight, Weed felt a shock from the impact.

The ground shook violently, the dust on the ground flew over the dungeon, ended by the deafening sound of explosions.

Booms!

Slowly the dust fell back to the origin. There was Weed alone who was still standing upright with a battered body. He was still in shock as well as amazed at the journey of dust to the ground. 'How is it possible?'

It turned out that the result was far from expected, the Kaiser Sword was a terrifying and cruel skill. Disposable directly spend 2000 Mana. If the mana was not enough then it would absorb HP points. After wearing it, Weed's HP had been sucked up to less than 50 left.

Weed was still a little dazed, "D-Where is he?"

His steps stumbled toward the original Skeleton Knight.

Skeleton Knight!

Iron Sword had been stuck on the stomach of the skeleton knight. From that direction, a crack spread until his entire body was smashed into pieces. Weed was indeed satisfied with this result, but his heart was very dissatisfied with the current state of his HP. 'According to your nickname, sword kaiser. Horrible.'

All of his party members scattering closer towards Weed.

Especially Surka, the most chatty party member of all. When he got in front of Weed he was bored to calm his breath, "We fought very hard to defeat this damn creature!" He finally held both knees, still exhausted.

Unfortunately, after being defeated the Skeleton Knight only dropped some iron ore, some silver and a bone. Though they had fought hard between life and death, risking their own lives to defeat him. Not to mention, they started the fight in unprepared condition. This was the hardest and most chaotic fight they had ever fought.

Just like Weed, everyone had struggled to the point of running out of mana. As the fight progressed, Romuna was busy casting spells while scouting the situation just in case another skeleton knight approached. His heart felt like it was going to explode so anxious with the circumstances.

In other dungeons, there might be other players helping out while dying, but here it was different, because they were the only visitors.

Everyone is still worried if events like this happen again. It feels more than when riding the role cooster.

But for Weed, this kind of situation was what he liked the most. Because upon entering the dungeon, the unique abilities of the Moonlight Scluptor would activate automatically. Unlike when under the scorching sun, Weed's skill was not in the best condition. But in the darkness of the night, or in the darkness of the dungeon, the true power of his profession would appear. Then his strength would increase 30% higher.

Moreover, Weed had read the Skeleton Knight's attack pattern using his innate combat ability. For him, the undead was no longer a threat, because now he already knew the attack patterns and weaknesses. This knowledge alone could reduce half the damage he had received earlier.

Weed looked at Surka who was now sitting limp. Although there was one more skeleton who came, he was sure Surka was able to help him, especially with the help of other colleagues. A single skeleton knight would be unable to do anything but give up his life.

"Maha." Weed laughed after thinking this far. His laughter grew louder after seeing the skeletons walking around as valuable EXP and potential items.

"Luck!"

"Hehe!"

"Haha!"

Everyone on Weed's team started to catch Weed's laugh.

Never thought, if the sight of skeletons walking around could make their hearts flowery!

The swords that the Skeleton Soldier carried, although not all Clay Sword, could be sold for a better price than Iron Sword. Only need to be repaired a little then just sell it at a high price.

This place was a fantastic hunting ground, as drop items were rare, plus a double drop rate, no doubt Weed's storage was instantly full.

For now, even one high-leveled skeleton knight was no longer a deadly opponent for Weed's team. But unlike the Death Knight, he was an actual nightmare

"Manu-sia. Smell-ma-nusia-here-"

One Death Knight passed by where Weed was before. He wore dark gray armor, while riding a night-long horse.

It was fortunate that Weed and the others immediately went into hiding after killing the skeleton knight and picking up the drop item he dropped. So they do not have to face the bearer of death directly.

Because no matter how much effort they put in, now they would not be able to defeat death knights who were level above 200 while they were still level below 100. The difference in their strength was too far away, so their attacks would be considered missed even if they hit the target.

In Royal Road, not only could players grow stronger, but NPCs included. Death Knights who had evolved to reach the 200s were of course also equipped with deadly skills.

This passing Death Knight was named Royan. As he walked, dark energy wafted from where he was before passing by. Death Knights are monsters that have names. Each of them has their own name.

Royan walked around to find the prey, "Bau-ma-nusia-" Then he stopped suddenly near Weed's hideout.

Make the party shut up and hold its breath. Their hearts seemed to stop beating, as the death knight's red eyes almost stared at them. The deadly aura depresses the party to the lowest bottom.

"Oh!"

Surka was almost hiccuped from being too shocked by Royan's screaming voice. Fortunately Romuna moved quickly to squeeze her nose, because she had guessed the habits of her colleague.

"I-it doesn't have a nose." Royan's eyes swept over their hideout for a while, then slowly went the other way.

The aura of death followed the direction of his departure, along with the sound of the knocking of a horse's hooves.

"Whew." Romuna rubbed her chest a few times. Before long he felt a rough clap on his hand, he almost swore an oath, but not so after seeing Surka's red face, he also released his pinch on Surka's nose while grinning, "Sorry?"

"He's gone." Pale sat down relieved. He stared at the shredded nail that was imprinted on the palm of his hand. Previously, because he was too anxious he clasped his hands to the limit.

Now they seemed to regain the breath that had previously disappeared swallowed by fear. Because the culprit had already moved away, so they felt relieved for a moment. But they can't be as careless as before. They stay hidden there to prepare mentally and physically.

After a while, only then did they return to the first floor to pick up all the drop items, including skeleton knight skeletons. Then finish the quest immediately.

As it turned out, all of Weed's real-world teammates were friends, they grew up together since childhood because they lived in the same neighborhood. And Surka is Romuna's sister. Weed only learned the facts he had been expecting, including the blood relationship between the two brothers who liked to curse. Weed could tell thanks to Romuna's story.

"It's your turn now." Romuna nudged her sister's arm.

"Me?!" Surka's surprised. "Ti-no, Irene eonni only, a-me-" Her voice stuck in the throat looking at Romuna's deadly gaze.

Pale shook his head at the behavior of the two sisters, he who was just about to open his mouth was first preached by Irene.

"Sorry Weed, we're actually very sorry to have to say this but-" Irene stopped suddenly while exhaling a long breath.

"It seems like for a while we couldn't get online." Pale continued because Irene had difficulty continuing her words, she looked very sad.

Surka bowed down as a request from maknae, "Our parents caught us." She was very unwell towards Weed as well as embarrassed.

In the real world, they have been addicted to playing Royal Road games to the point of not knowing the time to eat or sleep, even to the stage of skipping college. Today it just so happens that their parents are on a work holiday, so know this.

Obviously, they were all punished.

Romuna dug into her memories to tell Weed her full story.

On Thursday in Surka's room.

His father broke down the door as hard as he could because his two daughters did not leave the room when they told him to eat breakfast. She was afraid that something bad was happening to her beloved daughter.

Turns out oh apparently, what he saw was the puffy eyes of his two daughters because they were too much to play games. He finally clucked his waist while glaring sharply.

"You people! Playing games instead of doing ERRANDS?!"

"A-ayah-" Surka staggered.

"GO TO UNIV NOW!" His father's voice boomed flying all the birds perched on the roof of his house.

End all parents conferring at Surka parents' homes to discuss the survival of their children, as well as the discussions Pale and others will discuss.

After a long debate, that success finally came to pass. Their parents managed to be captivated by the world of Royal Road.

Because they were still new players, they were confined to the fortress for 4 weeks. But they really enjoyed the time.

Because after all, Roal Road was a perfect fantasy world.

The childhood of their own parents has gone through the journey of playing various ancient games and reading fantasy novels. But as adults, they are too busy working, so do not have time to relax themselves in relaxed childhood activities. Especially after getting married and having children, their busy lives become many times busier and stressful.

But after entering this beautiful and comfortable world, how could they not feel at home. They can take a vacation like the first honey moon. This world is a paradise that everyone has dreamed of since childhood.

This game is like entering a new world dimension, where they can unwind after several years of being busy with endless world affairs. Without being able to vacation abroad.

Surka's father nodded small, casually stroking his beardless chin, his face looking several years younger, "The camera isn't too bad."

"Right, baby, it's fun here."

A middle-aged woman who looked like Irene, was fanning casually, her style was similar to the neighboring mothers of debt collectors, "By the way, Ms. Jun Gee, she was, I heard you got a quest from the Weapon Shop?"

"Yes, it's more like a homework assignment. The quest was very simple, giving the order to buy him 5 grinding stones. Easy, right?"

The person beside him gawked, "Do you have enough money?"

"Yep. I only took out 3 silver to buy it. While 1 grinding stone costs 50 copper. Well, even with that money I still have 50 copper left."

"Share it with us!"

The parents started in the Serabourg Fortress together. They roamed together, did quests and befriended NPCs.

And like that, 4 weeks in the game have passed. In the real world, only a week has passed. Now the old men have been free to go in and out of the fortress.

When Pale and Surka told them about their freedom to leave the fort now, and told them about the monster hunt and others, their parents just laughed.

"Come on, how could an old man like us be able to hunt monsters?"

"Hunt it, for you young people."

"We like to stay inside the fort to help others in need and do simple work to earn money. Then we can use it to buy good food. Life is simple." Surka's father bertos ria with Irene's father then laughed together.

But because of the insistence of children they finally give up, especially because of excessive curiosity, they want to get out of the comfort zone. Of course with the supervision of children who must help at critical times.

"The "Bastard Sword dealt more damage than the Long Sword. Why would that be?"

Romuna almost lost patience with these elderly people. Since they had always forgotten the question that had just been intertwined an hour and two hours ago, he regretted their very bad memories.

Fortunately there was Pale and his million patience, always mediating the situation that was starting to heat up, "Because it was a big and heavy sword. Must be worn with two hands, and cannot be swung quickly."

Irene's father nodded between understanding it or not, he was instantly drawn between their conversations, "So you mean, unlike Long Sword who only let out weak attacks, not like the one who just attacked, but the Bastard Sword instantly produced a powerful attack even with just a single blow." His head seemed to spin hearing the words that came out of his mouth.

"Yes, the point is that."

Surka's father smiled obliquely, "That kind of weapon is what I want." A second later his smile disappeared instantly, "But the Bastard Sword cost more than 10 gold in the shop."

"Want me to buy it?" Romuna's smile was expanding beautifully. His emotions had long since vanished, now he wanted his parents to be proud of them.

But unexpectedly, the next word he heard was, "Yes, I actually don't want to bring this up right now. But do you think how much money and sweat have we spent raising you? From the time you were not born until you grew up, we always put your needs first, from clothes to food. No matter how much it is, you will never be able to repay all the parents' care. It's called parental care, we don't force you to pay for parental love."

All the children gawked, silent.

Pale's situation was quite similar to that of Romuna-Surka. His parents were school teachers, and thus they were very strict with him. Even as a child, he could not make loud noises when breathing in front of his parents.

While young, his father had served as a captain in the military army. So he naturally carried his undeniable charisma. And he was also the cause of their endless debates before entering the fantasy world of Royal Road. Fortunately it succeeded thanks to the persuasion of the wife.

At nightfall, they left the fort briefly for dinner.

It turned out that only his body was in the real world, but his mind was still stuck in Royal Road, Pale was surprised when his father opened the conversation while eating, even though this was a taboo thing to do. "Hmm, it seems that those damn foxes are so powerful?"

"...?" Pale, whose real name was Oh Sehun, was too shocked by this fact, his brain was delayed to think of an answer for his father.

His father once again spoke as if conscious of the frozenness of his son. "Dad said, the fucking foxes. They're very strong."

After hearing that stern voice once again, Oh Sehun regained his senses, he gave a small nod, "They're a little hard to deal with if you don't have any equipment."

"I've got some."

Pale looked at his father suspiciously, "Don't tell me you're planning to fight them alone?"

"I'll do it."

"What?" Pale was again surprised, but he soon recovered from this second shock, only to realize that this was his father's true nature. Rather, it would be quite shocking if he did not act this bold. So he would not forbid but rather give input, "Of course it would be difficult. It could be said to be almost impossible if father tried to fight the foxes alone, at the present level of father."

His father squinted his eyes, looking at his son as sharp as an acronym, "You mean you can defeat them? The foxes?"

"Of course." Pale replied simply, because now the foxes are nothing to him.

Suddenly his father's warm hand clasped Oh Sehun's.

"Venge your father!" Commandments strictly.

"..."

So just like that, all the old men ended up immersed in the world of Royal Road. As the neighboring families also played the game together, Royal Road became a hot topic during the roundup and family gatherings.

Now, instead of discussing financial and real estate matters, the parents were chatting about Royal Road over a drink. Apparently, there are a lot of people in their age who play that game. In reality, Pale's parents and best friends were too late to find any fun in Royal Road.

Weed understood his partner's situation. So he won't be fighting anything.

Lee Hyun had long predicted that a day like this would come. In most games, the price of the items will fall over time. Just like currencies like gold and silver. This was natural, as the average level of the players would rise as time went on. This happens if the player of this game is on average 10-20 years old.

But the story is different if the adults who have enough to travel in Royal Road, then the currency in the game will not fall.

Because they state their money is more than capable, when any good item appears, they will start a bidding war. They will buy whatever they want while they can, such as weapons, armor, and other equipment.

In fact this world provides greater benefits than the real world. When a player can go hunting using good equipment. Then you can feel yourself being a strong person, and feel the sweetness of victory.

As time passed, there would be many middle-aged players who filled this fantasy world. They flocked to buy items at increasingly higher prices, as if fighting for a limited edition car. It was also what lured the elders to play Royal Road.

Unfortunately, this is the main cause Pale and his team members can no longer explore Lavias, none other than to spoil their parents.

"Sorry, but we have to help our parents. At least until they get used to the game." Once again Pale discussed this without hiding his disappointment.

This is certainly inevitable, as they do it for parents themselves.

Weed understood them, and even escorted them away a little unwillingly, there was no strong system support anymore. But he wouldn't waste his time even a second.

"Go home, do your best while they're still around." Weed nodded while smiling lightly at his partner.

Makes others even sadder about this.

Romuna took a deep breath, "Yes, Weed. You have to be spirit."

"See you later in the day!"

"Yep!"

"Spirit Weed!" Surka brandished a fist.

The last thing they saw was Weed's pathetic smile.
