Their eyes were filled with confidence!
The hearts of all the Dwarves were becoming united as one.
“Power through!”
As the frontline units were changed, so did Weed’s commands.
After that, the Dwarves ran through the swarm of Vampire Bats and wiped them out.
The size of the community of the Vampire Bats of the Shaspin Cave was enormous.
‘If we had fought normally, we would’ve struggled.’
‘Even altering just the battle formation could let us, groups comprised of only soldiers and warriors, fight like this.’
The truth that the Dwarves had learned came across as shocking.
By the fifth time they had swapped the front line units, they had broken through the swarm of Vampire Bats.
The Dwarves still had more than enough strength.
That was because the Dwarves who were in the frontline still had strength in reserve due to the early swapping.
“Everyone, about face.”
The Dwarves turned around without hesitation.
Of course, Weed was currently in complete control.
Since they were able to witness the effects of Weed’s commands, their readiness to defend themselves naturally increased.
“Charge!”
Just like before, they charged towards the Vampire Bats slaying every single one.
After the battle, the party would pick up the japtem that dropped along their way and would repeatedly do so after every battle. Right then, the Dwarf named Bindel asked Weed.
“How should we distribute the japtem?”
Originally, the party who received the most experience would take care of the japtem. However, during the battle, they had to continuously split into different party and get into formation, which made things complicated.
Furthermore, when it comes to the Dwarven race, there are many characteristics that can’t be overlooked.
Dwarves were greedy by nature, therefore Weed had to come up with an idea and told them.
“You can pick up japtem on your own. However, in case you pick up more than you can manage yourself and your movement speed slows down or if combat ability suffers, I will take measures to forcefully remove you on the spot.”
“…”
“The battles in this cave will be fought in the same manner as before, and will continue until you are sick of fighting. That’s why it is proper for you to loot with moderation so that your combat ability and your movement speed does not suffer.”
With this, the Dwarves nodded their heads.
It was better to loot japtem moderately than be uselessly greedy and become mobbed by your own team. It was because they were going to fight an innumerable amount of battles such as these unceasingly and there would be more opportunities to loot later on.

The hunting of the Vampire Bats of the Shaspin Cave!
As the Dwarven Soldiers and Warriors built up more and more combat experience, they became more efficient.
“Faster! Faster! Faster!”
“Forward, charge!”
“Crush them all!”
The Dwarves swept through the inside of the cave with a crazed fervor.
The main habitat of the Vampire Bats!
The dark and narrow caves that, Humans obviously, and even Dwarves would cowered from. There were rampant noises and such coming from the land as if it was a completely different cave.
Until now no one had ever experienced nor imagined such a battle.
Some of the Dwarves openly shared their delight.
“If all of this is put up on the Royal Road forums, there will probably be a lot of excitement.”
“It would probably turn things upside down.”
The highly-skilled Dwarven Soldiers and Warriors of Kuruso; there were some users who were able to get into the Hall of Fame.
Those users were also waiting for their chance to upload the video.
Weed was unconcerned with it.
He could not monopolize the video commission since they were all doing the quest. Furthermore, Weed was in a situation where he could not make his account public.
If he made it known that he was leading these people in a Dwarf form, then the secret of his job and his Sculpture Transformation skill would be leaked to the public!
Weed decided to loot only important items.
“Hm, these Vampire Bat Tears… I think they can be an important reagent for magicians.”
In order to not become encumbered, he only selected and looted lightweight and valuable japtem.
To others, if japtem distribution was a problem, they usually resorted to threats of discarding the items completely.
Weed’s words constantly increases his control and authority.
The Dwarves had to be wary of Weed.
However, since he was a Sculptor, he did not have to participate in the battles, and the other Dwarves thought well of him.
‘How much can a Sculptor be able to pick up even if he tries?’
‘He largely distinguished himself in battle, and it’s true that we’re all on this quest thanks to him… I feel kind of sorry for him since his profit would be too small.’
He even received some sympathy.
Shyashyashyashyashyashyak!
However, all this this time they didn’t know that Weed was stuffing an enormous amount of japtem into his secret pockets; more than the amount that could fit into his backpack!
The difference between Weed’s perspective and theirs was enormous.
Watching Dwarves, who usually looted a lot, and gather japtem a few times made it seem like they were extremely greedy.
Meanwhile, Weed barely glanced over all of the japtem.
*Ttoleuleug.*
While naturally rolling his eyes, he didn’t spare another glance at the areas where the cheap japtem were.
While seeming to considerately giving the other Dwarves adequate time to loot, he selected and packed a lot of expensive loot when their concentrations were dull.
Even in that chaos, the speed of the battle did not drop, and, inside, the end of the Shaspin Cave was in sight.
“Here it is!”
A Dwarf who was in the lead shouted after discovering a Dwarven corpse.
Weed found a corpse that was dried up like a mummy after getting drained of its blood by the Vampire Bats, and the last ruby brooch that Gudolph had made.
*Ding!*
-You have discovered Gudolph’s ruby brooch.
Weed turned around and spoke.
“It’s complete. Let’s return to Kuruso now!”
The Dwarven soldiers and Warriors had successfully completed the mission.
