Particularly the ancient shield, an exceptional unique class item. Tremendous defense was extremely helpful in battles.
Because it cannot be repaired, it will be abandoned when durability runs out.
“Given its extremely high durability, I suppose I can use it for a few months at least.”
If it is not used in normal hunting, it can be used for even longer periods of time.
Items that cannot be repaired are difficult to deal with. Every time it is used, your nerves are on edge as its durability decreases.
People look separately for rare items at relatively cheap prices, but given the Ancient Shield’s degree of defense and many options, it could be sold at an expensive value.
“The rotten dragon bones can contribute considerably to blacksmith skills and it can create a lot of necessary equipment to wear or sell.”
Weed made a heartfelt smile as he slowly descended down the hill and entered the cave he saw the Bone Dragon emerge from.
Creepy cave.
A cave made with ice as clear as glass.
“So this is the source of the cold.”
After being sent to the north, it was the first time in a while that Weed encountered such a cold place.
“If this drags on too long, I’ll freeze to death.”
Weed hastened his pace as he walked into the cave. The deeper he entered, the colder it got.
Paintings were drawn on the walls.
Knights of the Nifleheim Empire appeared to be fighting monsters. Vivid scenes depicted knights and wizards attacking their way through hordes of monsters.
The last figure was a blue robed wizard opening a box containing some beads.
Then all the monsters and humans froze.
Looking at the paintings, Weed speculated.
“Is it talking about the final battle of the Nifleheim Empire?”
Not far away at the end of the cave were boxes placed side by side.
Heavy iron boxes.
The inscribed patterns revealed them to be noble Nifleheim Empire treasures.
‘Jackpot.’
Weed stretched out his hand.
The box is locked. A key is required.
Severe tremors sprang up on Weed’s skull bone.
‘No way... they can’t be serious. I don’t think so.’
Weed once again tried to force the box open.
However, it did not go as planned.
The box is locked. A key is required.
Adventurer or thief’s unlocking skill!
It was an essential skill for opening closed doors and boxes. But there was no such skill for Weed.
Cursed with the job of Moonlight Sculptor, there were no skills from the adventurer series.
‘This damn job, it’s so fucking useless!'
Weed struggled to beat the sadness. However, near the boxes was a small paper. Weed read through it.
Events chronicling the last six years of the Nifleheim Empire.
Our Nifleheim Empire was invaded by hordes of monsters.
Northern forests, there is no doubt the monsters descended from the dark forests.
The burning imperial capital collapsed.
Loyal Knights and Soldiers laid down their lives, but it was not enough to handle that many monsters.
Thus, as a last resort, we lead the monsters into the center of the valley.
Serbian Witch’s Broken Beads.
Passed down from generation to generation within the Empire’s Royal Family, the cursed object used to fight monsters.
And finely wrapped inside the paper was a golden key. Weed opened the boxes right away with the key.
The first box contained gold and jewels filled to the brink. The gold sparkled and the jewels dazzled.
‘That’s gotta be at least 150,000 gold.’
No matter how powerful you may be, you cannot overlook treasure.
Weed pocketed all the treasures inside the box without reserve.
-Current weight has exceeded strength capacity.
Penalty: 59% increase in stamina consumption rate.
In the second box, various materials were gathered.
Ores for blacksmith handling as well as cloth and leather for sewing.
‘Nothing must be left behind.’
-Current weight has exceeded strength capacity.
Penalty: 78% increase in stamina consumption rate.
The third box contained weapons and armors of the Nipelheim Empire.
Old antique weapons sprinkled with dust. With rusted blades, a terrible performance was sure to follow.
The clothes were also outdated and seemed to crumble when touched.
“Even old clothes can be used well!”
Weed pocketed them too.
Within the last remaining box contained the Serbian Witch’s broken beads.
The goal of the expedition!
From the Serbian Witch’s Broken Beads flowed an unimaginable chill.
Weed was well aware that he had to give up on the beads.
If you are able to sell, you can get quite a lot of money, but rather, life was more precious.
“The moment I touch that I die.”
Serbian Witch’s Broken Beads possessed incredible ice magic. The body would be turned to ice as a side effect from touching it without protection.
Thus, in order to prevent the worst, he had to abandon his excessive greed.
“Too bad though.”
Weed glared at the Serbian Witch’s Broken Beads.
Special combat capability object not classified as japtem, but it was also the item targeted by the expedition.
Cannot help lingering regrets.
“It’s gotta be a unique item at least… contrary to rumors, you could possess a skill even if you have no knowledge about it.”
You risk your life to grab it, but with every step, you move towards death meaning you cannot move.
“Should I pick it up anyway?”
Weed was greedy as expected.
When facing dead ghosts, caution should be used.
He took the small beads close at hand. Extremely slow speed.
Hwaaaag!
Then a chill poured out from the Serbian Witch’s broken beads.
-Due to the cold, paralyzed for 13 seconds.
After paralysis is released, likely chance of developing a cold increases by 25%.
Degree of cold!
"Ah-choo!"
Weed was finally able to give up on the beads.
In fact, even if he obtained them, he would have no other option but to lay the object upon the altar of Gods to fend off the heat in the continent.
Although devoted to the expedition for only a while, Weed still belonged to it so his contribution would be rewarded nonetheless.
Weed waited until the paralysis was released and escaped from the cave. There was considerable burden on his footsteps upon leaving.

Hall of Fame!
The number of viewers increased exponentially until it exceeded one million. Considering each broadcaster and their real time relay, there were at least 20 million viewers.
"Hugelgelgel!"
“Where is my head?”
“Humans. So many living humans I want to eat.”
Unbelievable battle of the undead.
- That’s necromancer magic?
- I never thought creepy undead would have so much advantage in battle.
- Corpses continue to pile up, creating more undead servants...
Through the video, the Necromancer job exploded in popularity.
Whenever the army of undead monsters led by Weed dominated, the forums erupted in cheers.
But after the monsters overwhelmed the expedition, not many people that could continue to fight remained.
- Seems really difficult.
- It’s too hard, even for Weed. The Bone Dragon’s really strong.
- Goddamn it. If not for the betrayal...
- Still, it was a wonderful battle.
Nothing was expected of Weed because it was simply too unreasonable.
The activities of the undead army and the Geomchis were of such great quality that many were satisfied for a long time.
