The boulder behind him had rolled much closer, so he didn’t have time to do anything half-heartedly. Nevertheless, in that short space of time, he accelerated 30% times faster than he had before.
“Whatever happens, happens. If I die, so be it, but I will take down this damn boulder with me!”
Death was something all Dark Gamers feared most.
The agony of losing experience points and skill proficiency.
Weed felt the same way, however the current situation was ‘all-or-nothing’.
In order to completely destroy the boulder, Weed flew towards it at full power, reassured by the fact that he will get resurrected by ‘Power to Reject Death’ even if he loses his life.
In addition, Weed focused all his strength and speed at the point of his sword. The point of his sword started to quiver, and because of his Moonlight Sculpting skill, the sword was enveloped with beams of light.
*Claaang!*
Then the other half of the boulder was destroyed in a single slash.

“Hey Rumi, how much Health do you have left?”
“About 350.”
“We’re gonna die soon. After all dungeon exploration is dangerous. Looks like we’re gonna die without another squirm.”
“Damn. If we were in a wide plain instead of this narrow passage, there would’ve been no way we would’ve gotten caught in this spider web crap.”
Hegel and the rest of his party were tightly wrapped up in spider webs like mummies, with only their mouths free!
As they were awaiting their deaths, they heard an extremely loud noise — as if a thunderbolt had crashed down before them. Without delay, a shockwave swept past them and shook the entire pathway.
“Wh-what’s going on?”
“I don’t know. Could it be that Weed-oppa has arrived?”
“Rumi, how could Weed-oppa know where this is and find us?”
“Because I told him.”
“That means he has fallen into the same trap as we did? Wasn’t the sound earlier was of a boulder crashing? It seemed like the sound came from the same direction where the boulder was…”
“No way. How could the likes of a low-level Sculptor come into this dungeon.”
“I’ll try to send him another whisper.”
“That’s a waste of time.”
Rumi sent another whisper to Weed, but she did not receive any response. At that time, Weed was preparing to unleash all of his strength.
“Maybe not after all.”
“Probably not.”
Then they heard another sound. An explosion so loud, it felt like their eardrums were going to burst!
The fragments of the boulder that had shattered flew everywhere as the passage shook. Their bodies which were bound in spiderwebs and suspended in the air, bounced from side to side.
The lump of rock that had blocked the entrance as a result of the trap had been destroyed.
They suddenly heard a voice.
“So I found you properly.”
“Weed-oppa?”
“Just stay still. I’ll free you soon.”
With a swing of his sword, Weed severed the spider webs that had immobilized the bodies of the party members in midair.
Although they had been lowered to the ground, there wasn’t a chance for them to regain their senses.
Weed continually swung his sword and cut away the heaps of spider webs that clung to their bodies. He was removing the thin silk on people’s bodies by swinging his sword.
Although it was hard to believe, it really happened.
As even the silk covering their faces was peeled away, they could see a dignified Dwarf of muscular stature standing before them. It was a Dwarf holding a sword that looked longer than his body.
Every time the Dwarf swung the sword, the silk on his colleagues was peeled away.
It could only be described as sword skill that verged on the miraculous.
Hegel asked with a hint of disbelief in his voice, “Is it really Weed-hyung?”
His mind was still muddled and his thoughts were in a disarray. Even so, since Weed had appeared and saved them while they were totally helpless, he felt grateful.
But just then, a huge lump of rock came rolling into the passage entrance.
It destroyed part of the passage, and once again blocked their escape.
“Weed-hyung, what about that rock?”
“Seems like it’s the trap I triggered.”
“We’re screwed! What did you come in here to do. Hyung.”
There was no time to even be relieved at receiving salvation.
The spiders that had withdrawn swarmed and crawled out of small holes in the ceiling and walls. Simultaneously, spider silk descended upon them like a curtain and completely enveloped the whole area.
A unique attack that rendered the body completely immobile like a mummy had begun.
Weed extended both arms.
“Thread winding!”
An Intermediate Sewing skill.
The technique for acquiring additional materials!
A technique that wound the spiders’ freshly spewed silk and made skeins.
The silk extracted from the spiders was wound into a sphere, sealed with cloth, and was being loaded into Weed’s backpack.
Hisss hisss hissssss!
