Since the passages weren’t just in a straight line, there was a terror that made his heart plummet every time he had to change direction.
If he collided into a wall, it was possible that he might just turn into minced fish paste!
However, whenever he accomplished the impossible, his blood boiled with excitement.
And Weed was considering this kind of act with natural nonchalance.
“I’m starting to feel really dizzy. It must be because of my Dwarven body. It’s definitely not a good idea to fly rapidly while drunk!”
He was flying while drunk, even near-death situations couldn’t get him to sober up. Speed driving!
In an instant, he found his way to the second floor of Kramador dungeon by cutting through waves of monsters.
Weed sent an urgent whisper to Rumi.
– Are you okay? Are you still alive?
– Yeah. But well, we’re slowly dying.
– How much Health have you lost?
– About 55%. I think we’ll be completely dead in about 30 minutes or so.
– Really?
Instead of proceeding to the second floor basement, he turned around.
Back to where all the monsters had been annihilated!
“Then I have a few moments to spare.”
Weed unfurled his wings and flew faster than before, tumbling through the path he had traveled through not long ago.
He flew at mach speed to collect the loot! Weed wasn’t someone who would walk away even from trivial japtem.
* * *
Most of the monsters on the second floor basement weren’t any different from those on the first floor.
In fact, since the passage had become more wide, his flying speed became even faster.
*Swoooosh!*
By the time he saw a halo-shaped light discerning the exit of the passage, he had already flown through it.
Before the monsters could counteract by opening their jaws wide to spew spit, his sword had already pierced through them.
- You have delivered a critical hit.
– Your speed gave 382% additional damage.
Speed!
If it could kill with one blow to the fatal weak spot of any monster, it was a useful technique.
However, it could get problematic if the monster endured the attack. The attack was a method which could only be used with high level of skill and concentration. A narrow passage was enough to impede counteraction.
Weed grumbled as he flew.
“I truly am nothing but a mediocre Sculptor. If I had sculpted these wings a little sooner, I could have hunted in dungeons so much faster!”
However, this method wasn’t something that could be used all the time, as dungeons have different structures. In spacious dungeons, even though he would be free to fly, the danger would be greater.
Ranged monsters could attack him if he unknowingly flew past them. His speed would only urge him into their rain of arrows, and Weed would die because of his speed and suffer disastrous injuries!
In addition, for monsters who survived the first blow, it wasn’t easy to attack them again with his sword while trying to brush past them.
It was an idea that spontaneously popped into his head when he saw the monsters gathered within the dungeon of Kramador. Although it was a smashing success, Weed still berated himself for incompetence!
After he had cleared the second floor, he descended to the third floor.
Naturally, he made sure he did not overlook any of the japtems.
Since he was flying in midair, he was able to avoid many of the traps, even for traps that were activated magically. Before they even triggered Weed had already passed by and was long gone.
*Ruuuumble!*
From behind him, the boulder trap that had made Hegel fear for his life had been triggered.
Even though the boulder was rolling forward, Weed’s speed was much greater. He was flying at least five times faster than the boulder.
Weed waited for the boulder and allowed it to come close enough.
“Fortunately, that boulder will help me find my way through this complex labyrinth.”
He had heard from Rumi beforehand, how the others had fallen into a trap. While they spoke, he heard an interesting tale, all the while, he had been looking for a way to save them.
Within moments, he saw a passageway where a large boulder had destroyed part of the passage and was stuck.
“Rumi is probably on the other side of that boulder.”
Weed took a deep breath as he flapped his wings.
No matter how he looked at it, the boulder which looked to be about 10 meters in height, was impossible to destroy.
Even if he flew to build up his speed then crashed into it, though his destructive powers would greatly increase, it was obvious the boulder in front of him would not break, and he would only turn into a piece of beef jerky. And if he survived thanks to his Resilience and Perseverance, if he was crushed underneath the other boulder that was rolling towards him from behind, the pressure would spell his definite death!
“That’s no good.”
Weed reached into his pockets and pulled out a sculpture. It was one of the Fine pieces he crafted and kept when he was making sculptures in Thor Kingdom.
It was a sculpture of a young female adventurer laughing happily.
Weed mercilessly twisted the neck of the sculpture.
“Sculptural Destruction! Add additional stats into Strength!”
- You have used Sculptural Destruction.
The pain of destroying a Fine sculpture! The grief!
5 Art stats have been permanently lost. Fame has been decreased by 100.
For a day, Art stats have been converted to Strength in a ratio of 1:4.
