Weed picked up the drop item Dullahan dropped. After that he galloped towards the hiding place to improve his Sculpture Mastery skill.
"Try sculpting Dullahan ah." He muttered little.
Weed's Sculpture Mastery didn't improve much while sculpting the same sculpture form as before. However, when creating a new sculpture, Handicraft and Art skills will increase significantly. This is called art, unique and does not bore people who stare at a work of art.
Weed took out the Sculpting Knife Zahab and a piece of wood, then started carving out the Dullahan figure he had just vanished.
Srak!
The Dungeon was so calm that it reflected the echoes of Weed's sculpture.
His hands look deft to handle the sculpture, because they are accustomed to the activities of carving art. Up to the stage, whatever he thought, he could sculpt shapes easily.
'It would be perfect if my Sculpting level rose to the Intermediate stage.' Weed hoped while continuing to focus on smoothing the sculpture.
His Sculpture Mastery was currently at the basic level of 99%, one more step towards the next stage. He had also already made 5 Avian sculptures that he had never sculpted before, so he was confident of his leveling rise.
"May ride! Hopefully ride! Hopefully, up to the Intermediate stage!" Weed continued to launch hope even though he was sure of the results obtained.
His sculpture almost touched the final stage, namely sculpting the head of Dullahan held by the left hand.
It did not take long, finally the Dullahan statue was completed. Seen the form of a large knight who was filled with prominent muscles. Uniquely, the knight's head was maimed, and held by the left hand. His eyes emitted an aura of domineering ferocity. He stood upright accompanied by a mighty axe.
Level Upgrade: Sculpture Mastery Beginner level: 10 to Intermediate Level: 1.0%
Now you can sculpt a special metal and gem (pearl, diamond, ruby, etc.)
Fame :+20
Art : +20
Special effects for Moonlight Scluptor profession :

• +50% increase in Sculpting Blade%
• a new Effect has been added to the Sculpting Blade skill
• the mana consumption for the Sculpting Blade had been reduced by half
New Skill: Destruction Sculpture
Weed's body trembled not strongly withstanding the joy. Even his current happiness could not be described with words, so happy.
All this time, he had felt all the sadness, pain and loneliness while studying Scluptor. There had even been many humiliations for the sake of humiliation he had to accept while fighting on the Scluptor path. Now his pent-up anger had suddenly vanished thanks to this success.
After so much effort, he finally reached the Intermediate stage in Sculpture Mastery.
The Sculptor profession, which he had originally been desperate to leave behind, now felt like a profession he had been destined for.
The Sculpting Blade Skill had been shown to have the greatest efficiency so far. Every time Weed used the Sculpting Blade, his Sclupture Mastery skill increased slightly and because the Sculpting Blade was closely related to him. The skill grew stronger, as his Sculpture Mastery increased from Beginner to Intermediate.
"Hmm, an extra ability?"
"Check Skill, Sculpting Blade!"
Sculpting Blade: Beginner Level 7.50%
Zahab's sword skill, passed down to those destined to sculpt the invisible or the intangible.
Survive magic that has a lower level than the Sculpting Blade. When magic was absorbed, then the skill user only expended 50% of the actual mana consumption.
Mana consumption: 25 mana per second.
"Ke ke ke!" Weed could not help but cry happily. How not, the Mage was the most difficult opponent for the knights. Because they have long-range attack magic that is very difficult to avoid. But, now the Sclupting Blade was able to absorb magic. Even if the enemy unleashed an attack using half mana, this was hundreds of times better than for knights who were directly exposed to the effects of magic.
"Since the consumption of which Sculpting Blade is also reduced, maybe I can use it when doing Triple or Backstab?" He asked loudly as he pondered this idea.
Sculpting Blade was more like an ace than a battle skill in general. Moreover, if between the Sculpting Blade skill with the Formless Imperial Sword Technique were combined, it would require a lot of mana. But Weed was sure the results would be incomparable.
Moreover, he still had Sculpture Destruction.
"Check Skill, Sculptural Destruction!"
Sculpture Destruction: Sculptor's special skill!
The anger gained from destroying one of your own statues was converted into Strength or Agility for one day. The Stat Art would turn into a battle stat for quite some time.
Warning: Fame will be reduced and the following points will be deducted from stat art.
• 2 Ordinary Statue Destruction: Stat Art x2 and converted to strength. Stat Art - 1, Fame - 20.
• 4 Fine Piece sculpture Destruction: Stat Art x4 and converted to strenght. Stat Art - 5, Fame - 100
• 6 Grand Piece Destruction: Stat Art x6 and converted to strength. Stat Art - 10, Fame - 200
• 20 Master Piece Destruction: Stat Art x20 and converted to strength. Stat Art - 30, Fame - 1000
The number of Art stats converted on Strength or Agility, depended on the quality of the sculpture being destroyed. Destroying an ordinary sculpture, converting a double amount of Statistical Art into Strength or Agility for a day. Meanwhile, smashing a fine piece sculpture or higher would convert 4 or 6 times the Art stats into Strength or Agility.
This would be a skill commonly used for Sculptors with low Strength or Agility.
The Sculptors, just carving sculptures in the game would have high Art stats. But it would be difficult for them to hunt, due to their battle stats.
This skill allowed the Sculptors to turn their Art stats into other stats. But the problem lies in the Fame penalty and the Art stats that accompany its use.
Moreover, Stat Art was very difficult to increase, meaning that this skill had to be used carefully. There was an extreme penalty for destroying a statue, to the point that it felt like this skill was extremely difficult, and unsettling to use.
In other words, this skill was a double-edged sword.
Weed decided to hide and not use it, if he could. Strength or Agility that increases only temporarily is not true strength. Even without Sculpture Destruction, Weed had become strong after his Sculpture Mastery reached the Intermediate stage.
All of his stats increased by as much as 10 points and the strength of the Sculpting Blade had doubled as well.
Weed was not the only one who enjoyed this advantage. All crafting skills such as cooking, renting, smithing, fishing, farming, also have advantages such as stat bonuses, skills and fame when leveling up.
When the skill reached the basic level, all the stats got an additional 5 points. Whereas when reaching the intermediate level level, all stat gets an additional 10 points.
No one knows how many points will be earned after reaching the expert level in a skill. In the end all skill skills increase depending on the player himself.
In Weed's case, he earned 10 statistical points, twice as much as the average player. Because of the secret profession of Moonlight Sculptor and thanks to quests related to Zahab. Sculpting Blade had also improved greatly.
No one had ever mastered any of the craft skills before, because the path was too difficult. For Weed, it took a lot of time and effort to reach the intermediate stage. Moreover, to continue to the expert stage, the path is certainly more difficult and painful.
Weed's eyes flared, he was determined to reach the master stage in all craft skills. 'Being a master, this is the only way to keep my organs intact for the next 1.5 years.'
Weed had to admit he did not have a good aesthetic sense in the art world. Even he did not have the burning passion of an artist. But he has talent that nobody has, hardworking. If he is determined, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, no matter how difficult the obstacles that come his way, he will go through everything.
After finishing with the sculpting activities, Weed began to observe the surrounding area. He could not directly raid the enemy without knowing anything about them, as it was tantamount to suicide. So he went around, finding out anything about the enemy.
Cave off Dead Warrior is a dungeon where Ghouls, Dullahans and Skeletons Mercenaries roam in.
Ghouls are of some kind. The lowest level ghouls always appear in groups of 4-5 ghouls, most of them around 110. In addition, there were also Ghouls who had evolved usually they had names and were leveled over 130. Still, this type of monster was not a dangerous opponent. Because usually they only attack simply. Too confident with their strong defense even though a little stiff.
Weed had already learned how to attack while dodging their ferocious attacks. "good. This place is perfect."
With this, Weed had designated the Cave of Dead Warrior as a new place to hunt. Monsters that had names, whether it was Dullahan, Skeleton Mercenary, or Ghoul, were indeed a little more dangerous. But against them has a great advantage.
It was perfect for Weed, who fought with fists and shabby swords.
Sometimes there is also a Skeleton Mage who is wara-wiri. But the monsters were no longer a problem for Weed, their magic was no longer effective against him. Because he already had a special ace against the Skeleton Mage, which was to use a Sculpting Blade that could neutralize their magic. Sometimes their spells would be reflected, putting those Skeleton Mages in a difficult situation.
It seems that the level of magic reflectance, depends on the mastery of the Sculpting Blade. He had to raise his Sculpture Mastery to raise his possibilities. Raising the level of Sculpture Mastery right now, was as important as gaining experience and level.
So far, Weed's hunt has gone well. But he still had one opponent to look out for, the Death Knight. This monster is level above 200, and appears more often in Cave of Dead Warrior.
They always roam around, never living in a certain area. Weed had to hold his breath and move silently to hide from them. Luckily, the Death Knights had poor eyesight, so Weed was able to calm down when he hid in a corner.
He sometimes dug up the ground and hid within it, as the Death Knight approached.
Weed's frown looked unsightly, 'When have I become this cowardly?'
He recalled his long journey while playing in Continent of Magic. There all the monsters looked very weak thanks to his highest level avatar. But now it was different, even he had to hide just because of a monster like the Death Knight.
Despite all this, Weed was still satisfied with his achievements now. Compared to at the beginning of the game, now his avatar had improved greatly. He had a high mana regeneration rate. And assisted bandage skills are very useful in critical situations. So his rest time was cut off.
Thanks to this, Weed was able to level up much faster. Plus here there are many drop items that are better compared to Memphis Hall. So, here he stayed longer to hone all the skills he had. He's been struggling so far, so it's a loss if now he has to go home. But Weed was getting tired of fighting the Dullahans.
"Dullahan is the best monster to hunt. But is there nothing better? It would be good if there were monsters weaker than Death Knights but strong enough to give a fair amount of experience."
Weed moved carefully not forgetting to make hiding places in important areas. He didn't need anyone to teach him this. He just needs to adapt and survive like a cockroach.
After passing through the many Ghouls and Skeleton Mercenaries that roamed within the dungeon, Weed stepped on the center of the dungeon. Here the ceiling of the dungeon looks even higher and the passageway is very wide where an underground river flows gently.
Flowers and some herbs bloomed everywhere. It was time to take a break, as he had just engaged in a fierce fight against the Skeleton Mercenary.
Weed refilled the water bottle and just as he was about to sit down, his eyes widened when he saw a shadow. As always, his alertness is always on the rise. He clasped the clay sword as he walked to inspect the silhouette. His forehead frowned when he found a girl who was fast asleep.
Weed scratched his non-itchy head. His eyes glanced to and fro trying to make sure that he was indeed at the center of the dungeon. He also had time to pinch himself. But the result remains the same, he is not fantasizing or dreaming. When Weed was busy thinking about the peculiarity, it turned out that the girl in front of him had already opened her eyes.
"Who are you?" His voice sounded cold.
Making Weed almost jump from shock. "I Weed. Y-you?" He stuttered, unlike the usual Weed. It was a rather rough introduction. He had never expected that there would be anyone else inside here other than himself. As he looked at the newly awakened girl's face, Weed felt that she was a perfect match for his ideal type. Thinking this far, Weed's ears turned red without him noticing.
The girl finally smiled faintly at Weed's misbehavior, "My name is Dain."
(Read : Da'in)
Lee Hyun of course had met many girls before. Because he was in a class with girls. However, he had never spent time with anyone in person. That doesn't mean he's not popular. There were some girls who approached Lee Hyun, saying that his pitiful aura and poverty were very attractive.
Lee Hyun bluntly laughed at all of them, for thinking they were stupid. "You think this is cool? Try to experience for yourself what it is like to live in poverty. I'm sure you'll all change your mind."
Being friends with a girl alone never let alone dating them. He thought it was a hassle, a waste of time, the latter was too much of a waste of money. Not that he intended to be stingy, but let alone buy them food, his family's life was on the edge.
The thing that he really cannot understand is, why dating a girl has to spend a lot of money every time there is a certain event.
Weed also never set foot in the cinema with his sister and grandmother. How could he invite strangers to have fun and forget his beloved family. Even Weed had climbed a nearby power pole just to watch the neighbor's television. This was the only way he could watch television.
He also has a tv, and even a used tv that has been discarded by others. But he still refrained from turning it on, because it was tantamount to making his electricity bill swell. If he wanted to, he would turn it on in the middle of the night when the electricity bill was much lower. This was the material difficulty in Lee Hyun's life. So he has no experience dating any girl.
Dain's.
The name kept ringing in Weed's mind. Every man had his ideal girl, Weed was no exception. He was still a normal man who craved a household and marriage.
Women should ideally have natural long hair, a cute face, be smart, kind, and have an attractive smile. But all this is nothing but a dream. If there is a girl who makes him fall in love at first sight, then she is the girl of his dreams.
As for Dain, Weed was just a little fascinated by him. That'sthat's all. Not more. After all, this cruel world was not as beautiful as expected. 'I can't trust anyone.'
Let alone a stranger like Dain. Even Weed could not put his trust in Pale and the others even though they often spent time together. Weed was convinced that humans could change. And not always on the same track.
At the moment they may be seen being close friends, but it does not rule out the possibility that they will aim a bullet at him someday. Usually the enemy comes from the same blanket.
Treat someone according to their treatment of you, no less and no more. This is one of the beliefs he instilled deeply. He can trust no one but his own family.
Weed's gaze sharpened. "Dain, how did you come here?"
Only the Avians lived in the City of Heaven. They can't reach this dungeon. Judging from his clothes, he was an adventurer.
"Here?" As if at first, Dain's vision glanced deep into the dungeon, "I've been here for 3 months."
'Three months?' A picture appeared in Weed's mind. "Are you one of the first adventurers to discover the City of Heaven?"
"Yes, I was part of that party. But, I don't want to talk about it any further."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm the only one left here."
"Ohhh, all right."
Dain yawned politely while stretching his body. "I'm a level 134 Shaman."
The level was lower than Weed had expected. He guessed that his level was at least 170, since he was alone inside the Cave of Dead Warriors. Of course, himself who was level 109 was also an abnormal thing. An ordinary player would not dare to wade through this dangerous place.
Weed stopped nodding when he saw Dain's intense gaze. Inevitably he questioned his confusion, "What do you want?"
"If you're alone too, it means we're lucky. Let's make a party." Dain waited for his response, but Weed opened his eyes several times, "Why? You don't want to?"
Weed looked away, again he was misbehaving because he felt like he was being proposed to by a girl, "No. That sounds like a good idea."
Weed asserted to himself that he accepted this offer not because Dain was his ideal woman, let alone trusted her. No, a Weed who was always on the lookout around would not trust a girl he had just met, just for taking her hunting in a party.
But Weed liked to approach and observe his enemy from inside the blanket. 'This girl is too suspicious.'
In addition, Weed kept many items in several hiding places inside the dungeon, so he could not leave Dain alone.
Shaman has a White Magic skill that can increase Strength, Agility, Speed. And have Black Magic skill to reduce enemy stats. With this, they have invading magic, healing, eliminating poison, and curses. They can also use swords and mace. So they have a decent melee combat skill to protect themselves.
In essence, they were All-Performing players! However, the Shaman profession is less popular, as they have little skill in every aspect, and nothing too special either.
Their blessing abilities were weaker than Priests, and the curses they cast were weaker than Mages. Their melee attack abilities were even comparable to an Archer wielding a sword instead of a main weapon, an arrow. Their weak attack.
Low HP, low Vitality and weaker magic than Mage. Statistics cannot be increased in one area, but must also be shared evenly. This profession does not have much benefit.
Weed didn't expect much from Dain. He only hoped that if Dain wouldn't bother him. He planned to leave Dain as soon as possible, after retrieving the items he had stored in the hideout.
