“It’s an investment... It is a necessary sacrifice to improve the chances of winning the battle.”
Weed pulled out Zahab’s engraving knife and started sculpting. He was going to sculpt a monster to animate.
“There are plenty of Orcs and dark elves already. I’ll be better off creating something that will aid me in commanding them.”
Weed started carving out long wings, sharp claws and a thick belly to create a wyvern sculpture.
Wyverns were extremely strong monsters.
Their average level exceeded 380, and their tough skin was quite resistant against both swords and magic, while in flight, their speed was comparable to that of a running horse.
But even if he was able to recreate the body, it didn’t mean that the sculpture would be as strong as the original creatures.
Its strength would be determined by his art stat, and even though the shape was similar, the difference in strength would be obvious if compared with an original.
“I don’t have very much time so sculpture will have to be a little rougher.”
If life was granted to the sculpture, his stats would disappear and his level would drop. Of course he would prefer to create a sculpture on the level of a magnum or classic. But, alas, he did not have the time for this and had to make it rather sloppily, and thinking about this brought an aching to his chest.
Even though he had resolved to create the wyvern, Weed was on the verge of tears.
A sculpture created without care, even by a master sculptor, wouldn’t turn out very great.
But this was a Wyvern sculpture was more than ten metres tall, and he wasn’t even sure that he could finish it. Even if he put in all his effort and worked for two nights straight, he only had enough time to create the general outline of a Wyvern.
Ching!
A Fine Piece!

Rulers of the skies!
Fierce and tough monsters, that stands at the peak of all beasts.

Monsters will keep their distance from the statue out of fear.
