LMS: Volume 16 Chapter 3
Power of the Deliverer
When Weed finished the bloody fight on Salmere Hill, he only had 150 Health left.
While riding Yellowy, Weed broke through the enemy’s line several times. Fully immersed in the battle, Weed threw himself into the dangerous battlefield. Faced with a life or death crisis, he barely survived thanks to Bingryong and the Phoenixes fighting desperately. Yellowy was also busy leaping within the flames to shake off the pursuing Soldiers.
Sculptures!
It was regrettable when he made the sculptures first and granted them life, but it was definitely worth it.
Even so, Weed didn’t acknowledge them.
“Useless bastards.”
“…”
“It’s all because you guys are weak and foolish. Can’t you do it right?”
The never-ending criticism of subordinates!
Nagging and criticism. He would usually say a few words when they won a battle.
“They can’t go up against me after all. Daring to fight me, they were really reckless.”
If they won, it was because of him. If the situation was unfavorable, it was because of his underlings.
Although it was said that great commanders do not blame their subordinates for their failures, Weed ruled over the sculptures with grumbles, complaints, and nagging.
Moooooooo!
The kind Yellowy submissively rubbed his head against Weed, showing the affection of Korean cattle. He was one of those Korean cows who didn’t resent people even up till the moment it was dragged to the slaughterhouse, simply showing sorrowful eyes.
However, every night when Weed briefly rested or slept, the subordinates held a meeting.
Bingryong, the Phoenixes, and Yellowy were crouching in a corner.
It looked like they were scheming a treacherous conspiracy!
Afraid that someone might hear him, Bingryong whispered cautiously, “Be patient and eventually an opportunity will come.”
“Will an opportunity truly come?”
“Senior, I think the opportunity you speak of will never come.”
Bingryong flexed his neck and spread his wings wide for a moment. “No. Look at me. It was only for short while, but I was able to earn freedom.”
“Freedom!”
Yellowy’s eyes were filled with desire.
Free grazing.
What beautiful words they were.
“Freedom is truly an unspeakable joy. You can roam the wide continent while hunting monsters and spending time happily.”
The Phoenixes silently nodded their heads.
They were accepting the advice of their heavenly senior as the gospel truth.
“Do you know how picturesque rainy days are? You can travel to the lake, and pass through the clouds as you go by a mountain range. The Versailles Continent is truly beautiful.”
“We want to go to the Versailles Continent as well.”
Yellowy and the Phoenixes had been born near the edge of hell, so they had never gone to the Versailles Continent before. They had only heard of it through Bingryong’s words.
“There are many varieties of soft grasses on the Versailles Continent. Savory and refreshing grasses are sown in great abundance. The river water is clear and cool.”
“Oh, grasses!”
“Phoenixes, do you know about sweet potatoes?”
“Sweet potatoes?”
“Eat it grilled and it’s sweet like candy. It melts gently in your mouth.”
“What is candy?”
“You don’t even know about candy?! Candy is a snack Humans eat.”
Bingryong had hunted to buy and eat many snacks with the money he earned.
When Weed hunted in the North, Alveron and Seoyoon had been with him. Alveron had taken a portion of his meal and shared it with him. This was how Bingryong was able to taste sweet potato. And the candy Seoyoon had thrown to him!
“Candy is a snack worth sacrificing your life for.”
“Is it really worth that much?”
“The greatness of candy… You little ones still do not know. When you roll your tongue as you slowly melt it…” Bingryong licked his lips.
“There was a lady as pretty as a Goddess who went around with the Master… If you happen to see her, act cutesy. She’s weak against cutesiness. If you do well, you might be able to earn a candy.”
“Is she the Master’s friend? Or his lover?” Yellowy cried out loudly with a strong look of disbelief.
“I can’t believe the fact that Master actually has friends.”
A nature which seemed like he wouldn’t even have any friends!
Bingryong shook his head. “I don’t know what their relationship is either. Human relationships are very complex. Anyway, the story strayed elsewhere for a bit, but an opportunity will definitely come. You cannot obtain freedom without sacrifice. Endure, and one day…”
“Some day…”
Yellowy spoke most dismally. “I definitely want to try eating candy.”

After disposing of all the pursuers, Weed reached Salmere Village. The Salmere tribe’s village was the biggest out of the three tribes and also had a wide territory.
The great Chieftain of the Salmere was a hunchbacked elder. He slowly raised his cane.
“The alliance with the Matallost Church? Our Hunters are not afraid of death. We will keep the promise regarding the alliance.”
Against his expectations, the Salmere tribe readily agreed to stand by the alliance.
“There will be glory for the great Chieftain and the Salmere tribe.”
Weed followed the actions of the tribe’s Hunters as examples. He assumed the ambiguous posture of a wide open mouth and glaring eyes.
There were often eagles sitting on the shoulders of the Hunters. You could easily see people grasping prey in their hands or dragging prey around by a rope anywhere in the village. They had a lot of food compared to the other villages. The fact that they had abundant prey meant the Salmere tribe was strong.
The Hunters had many weapons hanging from their backs or shoulders, such as bows, spears, axes, hammers, and various other weapons.
“However, among our villagers, there are many who have not yet even left a name for themselves.”
“…”
“Leaving a name is important. In our tribe, when we go on a big hunt, we carve their appearances and set them in the village. We make sculptures of the Hunters so growing children can know the greatness of their parents.”
“So…”
“The amount of Hunters who will join the alliance in the fight against the Matallost Church will depend on the number of sculptures.”
The sculptures would be the last memories of the Hunters. He needed to make sculptures to get the Salmere tribe to fight.
* * *
Weed examined the appearances of the Hunters in the village.
Savages wearing feathers and leather clothing! It wasn’t difficult to sculpt them because they carried all sorts of weapons and had very characteristic appearances.
Since the sculptures had to be preserved for a long time, he had to use stone rather than dirt or wood. But still, Zahab’s Sculpting Knife cut through stone as if it were nothing.
“Manly… as well as compassionate.”
Weed made sculptures of the Hunters on the open ground within the village. After making the basic Barbarian shape, he made them different with detailed expressions. His mass-production system became increasingly fast.
Advanced Sculpting level 6 and Advanced Handicrafting level 6! Based on skill proficiency, it would be a while before he reached Master level, but the skill level he’d gained from grinding was helpful for the value and artistry of the sculptures.
“External appearance is important for sculptures after all.”
The quality of the stone used to make a sculpture is as important as the finishing material for an apartment.
After having gathered so much experience, he could see an appropriate part or appearance simply by looking at the rock. He could effectively make sculptures while also completely utilizing the texture and design of the stone! Even though they were rocks from the same place, there were valuable rocks good for making sculptures.
“It’s the same logic as shank and rib eye being different prices.”
Weed used high-quality stones to quickly create sculptures!
Mass production was certainly not a virtue of an artist. Even so, if the sculptures gave happiness and were needed, so he wasn’t against making them.
Salmere Tribe sculptures — over 3,000 Hunters sculptures were made over twenty days. It would have never been possible if he had to make them life-size, but it was feasible because they were miniatures. The experience he had of shortening the sculpting time while making many sculptures on the River of Lamentation was also helpful.
