“That sounds good, in any case something great happened. This is a quest from a sculptor.”
Weed met with the other Dwarven Artisans.
Exper and Bambi were regarded as Kuruso’s 5 famous craftsmen. Herman was also one of them.
Through a representative, Fabio also gave away some of the armor he created.
The armour that was brought out was limited to level 200, it was low enough level for Weed to wear and there was no class limitations.
“I will stick to the things I normally use.”
Special protective equipment for battle and was not made purely for defense!
Although the level cap is low and it is possible to wear without high amount of strength, it was extremely heavy and reduces agility. This frustrated him, and it also made him look like a fat hippo.
He believed that strong armour and magic resistance were essential to survive.
Weed shook his head.
“This will not be necessary.”
“Huh?”
“I will not die.”
The truth was, dying would be a huge catastrophe.
Of course, his Sculpture Transformation would be released, and he would be revived through the power to reject death!
At the sight of him, the Dwarven Warriors would be in an uproar.
Because he was none other than Weed.
‘The old Dwarf Gudolph had left things behind.’
But thanks to Gudolph, he had learned the locations and attack patterns of the Vampire Bats in Shaspin caves.
He was not willing to take any risks.

“Let’s march.”
Upon entering the cave, Weed walked with long strides as if he were out on a stroll. The Dwarven Warriors were astonished.
“Art Hand, have you gone insane?”
“Did you drink a dozen cups of some high-class beer?”
The Dwarves became concerned.
In order for the commission to succeed, Weed must survive.
Their mission was to fight under the leadership of Weed!
However, since their leader was inexperienced, their confidence wavered.
But Weed knew exactly where the Vampire Bats were located.
Inside the empty cave the Dwarves wondered around.
When he was about 500 meters away from the Vampire Bats’ nest, Weed raised his hand.
“It is here.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
A Dwarven Warrior named Bindel asked.
Since he had experience in more than four different types of weapons and had mastered various combative skills, he was the best Warrior out of the Dwarves assembled here.
“The battle will take place here.”
“What do you mean. Where are the monsters?”
Weed answered clearly.
“Of course I will be bringing the fight here.”
At that moment, the faces of all the Dwarven Warriors started to frown.
“That’s foolish, we are all battle experts, let me take the lead from here.”
“You can just find a safe place and rest there.”
“You not know anything about the vampire bats fast movement, tsk tsk! Furthermore we Warriors did not bring any bows.”
From then on, the Dwarves did not show any respect to Weed. The trust between him and the Dwarves had been broken.
I’ll lure all the monsters back, and we’ll see how well all of you will fight!
Hunting Vampire Bats was a lot more difficult than common monsters, therefore the hunt was not simple. It was important to have experience in at least a dozen different kinds of hunting, with various monsters.
However, all the Dwarves tried to ignore Weed.
Weed took out Zahab’s Engraving Knife and slashed his arm.
“What are you doing!”
Bindel shouted.
All the Dwarves who had not listened to him thought he was trying to commit suicide!
If Weed were to die, the commission would fail, if the quest were to fail, the Dwarves would experience a great loss for all the equipments they bought.
The Dwarves were surprised when Weed silently said.
“Dwarven Troops prepare for battle!”
“Huh?”
“You, what are you saying?”
Feeling frustrated, Weed quickly explained.
“The nest of Shaspin Vampire Bats is about 200 meters away. However any blood they smell within 600 meters radius, they perceive it as food.”
“…”
