The strength went right out of Weed’s shoulders. Even so, he altered 10 sculptures in a day. However, there was no change in the purification value of the River of Lamentation.
“I need to recover my levels first.”
Weed engaged in desperate hunt to recover the levels he had lost by giving life to his sculptures! He repaired 13 sculptures daily, and led Yellowy and the Five Phoenix Brothers to battle.
If they went too far away from the River of Lamentation, the levels of the monsters leapt drastically.
Boars of Hell.
He estimated the Wild Black Boars to be slightly under level 400. Of course, he ascertained this fact through Death Knight.
“They can fight Death Knight neck and neck — they’re quite delicious prey.”
He didn’t even glance at the Caltrops anymore, since stronger monsters yielded more experience and items.
“I should leave the Caltrops to the Five Phoenix Brothers. Phoenixes.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Hunt the Caltrops. Be careful not to melt the items.”
“Yes, Master. Understood.”
The Phoenixes were handy for being able to be ordered to do various things.
It was similar to Military Discipline Training of new enlisted recruits in the army received! How well they performed in this training enormously influenced their army life.
For the sculptures as well, it was good to establish the hierarchy immediately after their birth, but there was no need to give them this mental training separately.
The Phoenixes had realized something while watching Yellowy.
‘Ah, we’re stuck with a really dirty Master.’
‘What rotten luck.’
The outstandingly intelligent Phoenixes became obedient.
They were Phoenixes who didn’t die easily and were incomparably tenacious! They dove with their outstretched wings to avoid lightning attacks unleashed by the Caltrops.
And the flame attack they discharged! The damage was weak, but the flames spread over a wide area. The heat wasn’t enough to melt the rocky mountain, but it was still quite hot.
They didn’t even die from area of effect attack skills, and they were quick on chasing land monsters, not giving them a chance to run away. As long as he cautioned them not to burn the japtem dropped by the Caltrops, there were no problems with the hunt.
While the Phoenixes hunted the Caltrops, Weed went with Yellowy to deal with the Black Wild Boars.
The Wild Boars ran through the uneven rocky mountains!
Moooooooo!
Weed hunted them while riding Yellowy. Together with Yellowy, he defeated the Wild Boars one by one.
Weed’s Moonlight Sculpting Blade and Sword Mastery skill proficiency were increasing rapidly.
“This method of fighting isn’t bad.”
Weed was pleased because the hunting speed was decent. Thanks to Yellowy, Stamina consumption was reduced and damage was doubled.
Sword Mastery did not accumulate uniformly by just swinging a sword. The proficiency rose when consecutively hunting monsters stronger than himself.
Weed’s Sword Mastery was currently at Intermediate Level 8!
It couldn’t be compared to the SwordNoobs, but it was much higher than normal users.
He had also modified a total of 262 sculptures in the basin of the River of Lamentation.
You have altered “Snakehead Fish Going Belly-up and Dying”, a sculpture of the Matallost Church.
You have purified 262 River of Lamentation sculptures.
Purification of the River of Lamentation: -98%
A hopeless purification level!
