Thanks to it, they were able to resist the cold better. But it was weakened to only a 20% cold resistance.
Weed took the carving knife and walked over to the Ice Beauty.
“Will this work? Repair!”
He removed the extra pieces of ice on the sculpture and packed ice into other minor spots. Wherever it was broken, he attached new pieces of ice. Soon, it came back to its original appearance.
“So it can also repair statues.”
Weed had learned another piece of information. Info about classes was not made public and most professions had to make their own decisions to figure out more definite information.
Weed scratched his head as he thought.
“Perhaps… maybe it might be possible here!”
Weed logged out.
Lee Hyun browsed through the websites. He was mainly looking for legends of the Arctic or monsters that live in cold climates.
He was looking for information.
Making sculptures raised the skill up well.
Copying the shape of a monster was not difficult. But that was not much of an achievement.
‘I can’t keep making sculptures of monsters. Now they don’t even give me 2% skill mastery.’
Sculpting and Handicraft skills required an additional 20% proficiency requirement each level.
Therefore it was very difficult to increase the level of the skills.
Intermediate skills were not that different from the beginner level, but now it required a certain level of inspiration. The skill would not increase from simply making sculptures of the things around him.
The advanced stage required 50% more training than the intermediate stage for production skills.
Looking beyond their capabilities, production classes were far more difficult than a combat based class.
‘I should make something big to get more artistic value. It will probably raise the skill up a lot too…’
Then Lee Hyun accessed a site that was associated with the Continent of Magic.
Dragons were classified as the ultimate monster of a fantasy continent. Lee Hyun had hunted quite a few dragons in the Continent of Magic.
Powerful, vibrant magical attacks.
Incredible breath attack and colossal defense.
He had reached the highest level in the Continent of Magic, he needed to use a few tricks or he would never have dared to go up against a dragon.
Of those dragons there was the Ice Dragon!
A dragon with a size of over 150 meters and it was capable of a powerful ice breath.
He remembered the time he had hunted one.
“The tail…yea and then attach the head later. So I have to start from the feet and move up the body.”
Weed reconnected and started to collect chunks of ice.
Because it was immediately after a snowstorm, there was plenty of ice around. The ice piled around was larger than the average house. Walking around in the snow, people would have ice piled up to their chest.
“I would have died if there was nowhere to hide from the snowstorm!”
Frozen by the cold or struck dead by a chunk of ice! In the storm, death would come from one of the two. The only city in the north was in the vicinity of a large mountain. If it was unable to prevent snow in the mountains, then the village would not exist. But the northern town was frightening.
“In the past, the strongest military power of the northern kingdom was forced to be stronger or else they would not have been able to live in such an environment.”
Weed picked up chunks of ice from the surrounding area. He made a rough outline and then piled ice on top. The blocks of ice began to be stacked in layers on top of each other.
“A little bit at a time…”
Weed and the paladins had come back from hunting the wolves.
The blocks of ice that were stacked in a pile were now firmly solidified. There was no need for individual blocks but to connect all of them.
Weed had the paladins create a huge mountain of ice. A chunk of ice large enough to be a mountain!
The pile of ice was several stories tall and kept rising higher.
Hwiyiiiing – kureureureung!
The snowstorm came again.
Ice stacked on top of the giant pile of ice.
Weed kept piling up the snow for two more ice storms and soon there was a mountain made of ice.
The will of humans and the power of Nature!
The two had worked together to achieve the impossible.
“From here on out, it’s my turn.”
Weed pulled out the Zahab carving knife.
Ice sculpting.
He had created the Ice Beauty with his hands and suffered through the process.
It was a piece that required fine detail. If he put as much detail into a sculpture of this size, then it would take a year to finish and he did not have that kind of time.
Weed cut drastically and added ice sometimes.
The sculpture gradually began to unfold.
It was now possible to sculpt.
A bonus of the Intermediate Sculpting skills was the supposed special effects to carving.
Weed had to pay attention as to not fall from the mountain of ice. He connected a piece of rope to the top. Very much like rock climbing.
Tak tak tak!
Pieces and chunks of ice were being cut off by the knife and fell down. They would fall to the ground and shatter. Weed looked down from above to see the bottom of the sculpture.
“Ohhh…”
To fall to his death.
This fear was suppressed while he worked on the sculpting. However, hanging from a high place in the freezing cold was not a joke. Strong winds would blow and the rope that he was hanging on would shift and he could not move.
Weed finished his first goal for the sculpture which was the torso. The central part of it was the giant torso that was the size of a mountain. The circumference of the torso was more than an extraordinary 100 meters long.
Now it was time for the tail and the legs.
The legs were deformed to be very small. However they were thick enough to hold up a mountain of ice.
Small, thick legs.
A long tail lay hanging from the torso. The length of the tail itself was tens of meters.
The last part was the head. It protruded boldly from the body with a long neck, with its mouth spread wide, and its face glancing over from the side.
Its mouth resembled that of a crocodile.
Long whiskers extended from its face.
Its eyes were fierce and full of power.
The moment Weed finished the sculpture, it was engulfed in light.
