Chapter 48-1
Chapter 1: Kallapik Castle
The final secret sculpting technique .
Advanced Time Sculpting allowed him to use Travel Sculpting!
Weed left no stone unturned when learning every detail of the history of the Versailles Continent .
‘Monster invasion or war . Many great things happened . ’
When looking at the history of the Versailles Continent, a number of important events were recorded .
-The destruction of the Bruker Kingdom in two days due to a monster invasion .
-Nemias Fortress . 37 days of battle turned it into ruins .
-An invasion of monsters from the sea that didn’t seem to end . Half of the continent suffered from the invasion of monsters for three years .
‘Um . Very nice . ’
Travel Sculpting was a technique that followed the traces of time and allowed him to go to a certain point in time .
‘War . War . ’
If he was a pure sculptor then he would be interested in the points of history where art flourished .
He could freely travel to kingdoms where culture, tourism and romance flourished .
He could taste delicious food that melted on his tongue, look at buildings and smile brightly at beautiful women .
A secret sculpting technique that allowed him to travel through the history of the continent to his heart’s content .
Weed raised his Time Sculpting skill to advanced in Mols Dungeon .
Ddiring!
-The skill proficiency of Time Sculpting has reached level 10 and transformed into intermediate Time Sculpting . You have received a great enlightenment regarding time . You have learnt Travel Sculpting that can move you through time and space . You can currently only travel three times . It is limited to once per month and the quest needs to be completed . When certain conditions are met, special quests related to history, art, business or production can be generated . Every time the skill level of Travel Sculpting goes up, more areas, quests and history can be explored . |
It was a skill acquired be hours of sculpting .
The first place that Weed selected was ‘Kallapik Castle . ’
He was mindful of the physical and mental hardships and decided to bring his colleagues .
The atmosphere was heightened after defeating the Hermes Guild at Mols Dungeon .
Weed said to his colleagues .
“But I still feel a little empty . Would you like to go hunting with me?”
His old innocent colleagues as well as Python and Seasoned Crab were surprisingly easy to catch .
“It will just be a light hunt . ”
Weed then muttered in a small voice .
“Travel Sculpting . ”
Thousands of strands of light gathered to form a lavish portal big enough for many people to enter .
-Travel Sculpting over time and space has been invoked . |
“Then I will go first . ”
Weed quickly entered the portal made of brilliant colour before his other colleagues asked for details .
Weed disappeared .
“Wah . Weed-nim learnt a new skill . ”
The innocent Surka said with admiration .
Irene also had a nice and not suspicious personality .
“It seems like a skill he acquired while adventuring . ”
The others also accepted it .
“Ah . I’m envious . But does a necromancer have a movement skill similar to a teleport gate?”
Romuna was a bit jealous while Zephyr had no interest in movement skills .
‘I want to eat . Um… It would be delicious to eat together with Yurin . Peel the flesh and feed it to her . Kuooh . I will also have a glass of beer . ’
Bellot and Hwaryeong didn’t like hunting but they didn’t hate it either .
It was quite difficult to raise their level so going with Weed had the best efficiency .
Python was burning with competitive spirit .
‘A warrior is strength . He is a necromancer but… His power as a sculptor shouldn’t have weakened . It would be useless to acquire a movement skill . Anyway, I will see if I go through it . ’
Even the assassin Seasoned Crab with outstanding observation skills didn’t doubt it .
‘He doesn’t seem to be using an item . It is a type of skill . I’m surprised since it is the first time I’ve seen it… It seems to be related to sculpting . ’
He wanted to ask Weed about the skill in detail but Weed had entered first . It might not be a bad thing to not know the details .
‘Am I expecting to be hit in the back of the head or something?’
Weed had enormous qualifications .
The God of War and first king of the Arpen Kingdom .
This was enough, despite the numerous adventurer titles he had .
‘If it isn’t good then he wouldn’t have entered first . ’
Python and Seasoned Crab believed in his fame while the others were loyal and naive .
They were the type that would become debt guarantors .
Pale entered the portal without any thoughts .
Pale felt like something was strange after entering the portal .
As his body moved forward, he rapidly passed through tens of thousands of strands of light .
‘This isn’t teleport?’
He was rushing towards a single faraway place .
After a while, he was dizzy as he passed through the portal and was hit with a tremendous amount of noise .
“Suppress the rebels!”
“All knights will protect His Majesty, even if it means death . ”
“Charge! Charge! Knights, charge into the enemy with all your might!”
Kallapik Palace .
In the Royal Palace close to a city, a battle was occurring between knights and rebels .
“W-what?” Where is this?”
Pale panicked as he looked around . Fortunately, Weed was right next to him .
“Weed-nim!”
“Um . You came early . I believed you would come first . ”
“Yup . Of course I was the first to follow Weed-nim… No . What is this? Where are we?”
“This is the place where we came to hunt . ”
“Hunting?”
Weed cheered like a successful scammer .
“Yes . This is a hunting ground . ”
Ddiring!
-Kallapik Survivor . The Kallapik Kingdom has suffered from a drought for decades . Due to the monsters descending from Ault Mountain, the kingdom is on the brink of a crisis . The rebellion of the nobles and departure of the army has left the Kallapik Castle soaked in blood . Honour, power and morals are already buried in this ground . Survive this battle . Level of Difficulty: A Compensation: Warrior’s bravery and loot . Quest Restrictions: Survive . |
A quest given by force .
The occurrence of a quest!
It was just a hunt yet they received a combat quest .
Weed already knew about the situation before using Time Sculpting but Pale was confused .
“Why the sudden quest… And was there a castle called Kallapik?”
“You can say that there is and you can also say that there isn’t . ”
“Why?”
“If you look at the history books, it was destroyed 780 years ago . ”
“But how are we at Kallapik Castle?”
“We entered the history of Kallapik . ”
“……”
Time travel!
Those words popped into Pale’s head .
Weed’s battle slave momentarily believed in him and also felt appreciation for bringing him on such an adventure .
Rather than hunting monsters, he chose a real adventure with his trusted companions . But there were many complaints .
“Why didn’t you explain this in advance?”
“I can’t go around explaining everything in the world . I didn’t think you would come here if I gave a long explanation . ”
Weed unabashedly said .
It wasn’t a sin to use a little trickery in a tough world .
People who innocently believed everything were frustrating!
“Kuk!”
Pale made a face like he had been hit but he was quickly convinced .
‘Um . That makes a lot of sense . I can’t blame Weed-nim because I entered without listening properly . ’
He was drawn to a dangerous battlefield but his mind soon relaxed . Even if he suffered, he knew that Weed’s adventures were likely to be successful .
“Actually, the scale of the battle is really great . ”
“It is a historic bloody fight . ”
Weed and Pale gazed at the castle buildings that were burning .
Among the collapsed buildings, soldiers and knights were fighting fiercely .
“Are we fighting on the side of the royal family?”
“Once they do better . ”
“Once?”
“I will look at the situation first . Anyway, we just need to survive . ”
An absolutely easy quest .
Paaaah!
The portal opened and Maylon and Surka arrived .
“W…where is this place?”
“The Kallapik Castle . ”
Maylon followed the combat slave who was her lover and Surka came without thinking .
Her face darkened .
“Kallapik Castle? That is recorded in history . ”
Maylon was a broadcasting host so she had a profound knowledge of the history of the Versailles Continent .
Pale sensed the atmosphere and gazed at her .
“This is it . We came here through time travel . ”
“Kek! Then we came to die . ”
Maylon said desperately, but she soon smiled brightly .
“Aha! It will be aired on broadcast!”
If there was a dispute with the Hermes Guild then she had to maintain her neutrality as a host . However, this time she could participate directly .
Surka glanced at the soldiers fighting before looking back at Weed .
“Should we whisper the others?”
“Yes . ”
“I will take to them on the chat channel . ”
-Surka: Wah . This is a really good hunting ground .
Surka’s conversation was passed to the other colleagues through a temporally generated time portal .
-Hwaryeong: So it is good?
-Surka: It is totally amazing! Unni . The monsters are holding jewellery . Some knights are equipped with jewel studded armour and swords .
-Bellot: Fighting is a bit tedious .
-Surka: This is a heaven of handsome men . The appearance of the knights is amazing .
-Irene: The terrible monsters are a bit…
-Surka: There are great buildings here .
Bellot, Hwaryeong, Irene, Romuna and Zephyr were caught in order, and finally Seasoned Crab and Python entered .
“Keek, where are we?”
Surka replied loudly to Bellot’s question .
“Kallapik Castle!”
“What are we doing here?”
“A terrible battlefield!”
His methods of fraud and theft continued to grow!
Weed’s expression became gleeful .
“Come back to the land you used to live in . This is a dark place . It is a black and corrupt land . Help spread the laws of darkness . Undead Rise!”
Weed summoned the undead from the corpses .
There was an even mixture of skeleton knights, dullahans and death knights .
“The worship of the immortal warriors . We pledge loyalty to the one who returned us from death . ”
The death knights kneeled down in unison .
“Stop the enemies . ”
Weed summoned Van Hawk and Torido to lead the undead .
His colleagues were confused for a while before soon finding their own things to do .
They took out their weapons and slaughtered the rebel knights .
Pale’s archery was aimed at the noble rebels while Maylon jumped onto buildings and shot her arrows .
“Fire Field!”
Romuna used a great fire magic .
None of the invading soldiers could get past .
The captain of Kallapik Castle’s knights approached with his troops .
“Intruders! Are they rebels?”
Pale quickly bowed and said .
“We came here to help . ”
“Your words can’t be trusted because you made undead from the corpses of knights devoted to the royal family!”
“That is Weed-nim…”
“Necromancy is absolutely forbidden on this continent . Don’t try to make excuses while using evil techniques that deals with the body!”
The gazes of his colleagues instantly moved towards Weed . There was a question in their eyes .
“It can’t be help since this is also a weakness of necromancers . But there is a way to fix it . ”
Weed smiled lightly and handed over a sculpture .
“A sculpture of His Majesty . I have always admired him . ”
“Heok . ”
“This . ”
A fine piece that he sculpted in advance!
Three silvers were stuck underneath the sculpture .
Bribes were often the key to softening someone in a complex society!
However, the leader of the knights threw the sculpture to the ground .
“This country is in ruins and a sculpture won’t help! All of you should be put in jail . ”
The 3 silvers bribery plan failed so his colleagues’ expressions became worse .
“Don’t worry . There is a solution . ”
Weed picked up the 3 silvers and chanted a spell .
“Corpse Explosion!”
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
The area near the knight leader instantly exploded .
-The knights leader Taken has died . The hostility of the Kallapik Kingdom has increased by 100 . |
“Heeok!”
Pale and Zephyr were surprised at the sudden explosion .
“It seems like we can solve it like this . Attack . ”
Weed ordered the undead to attack the forces of Kallapik Castle . Then he said towards his colleagues .
“I felt it when I did the desert quest . This is a journey to the past through Travel Sculpting . This isn’t our original world so everything we see now will disappear after our adventure . ”
“Aha . ”
Romuna was convinced and nodded .
The inhabitants of the Arpen Kingdom and Haven Empire still gave birth and raised children .
He was a person who often looked at faces when talking about adventures .
“It seems like all of you are now thinking about life expectancy . ”
“Yes . That’s right . ”
“I feel a little empty . ”
Bellot grumbled but didn’t forget her role .
The death knights surrounded and fought the rebels and defense troops of the castle .
“Chain Penetration, Earth Wave!”
“Ehet, Gust Arrow!”
Pale and Maylon fired arrows towards the enemies .
Romuna’s flashy magic and Surka’s punches!
“Iyap, Fist Strike!”
Surka’s fist grew more than a dozen times bigger and blew away a knight fighting against death knights .
“I like a melee . ”
Python jumped towards the enemies with his greatsword while Seasoned Crab quickly disappeared .
Every time he moved, a commander level knight would disappear .
Irene healed her colleagues with divine magic and even occasionally healed the knights fighting the undead .
“Thank you . Priest-nim!”
“You’re welcome . ”
Weed commanded the undead while shooting arrows .
It was a fact of life that a necromancer was bad when teaming up with a party .
A necromancer was a one man army so they didn’t work well with other users .
In order to overcome this weakness, he jumped into the middle of the battlefield .

Evaluk Castle of the Kallamore area .
It was an area Dain ruled that was unscathed by rebels .
“There are clean streets and buildings . It is all thanks to Lord-nim . ”
“Do I miss the Kallamore Kingdom? Why? Everything has improved since Lord-nim arrived . I really can’t hope for anything more . ”
“Our castle has become the centre of commerce, tourism and production . The population of the castle has increased as a result of people moving here and children have stopped crying . ”
The residents of Evaluk Castle praised Dain’s reign .
The users also had no complaints .
“I was worried when Lord Dain-nim arrived . ”
“Yes . It is futile to worry about everything . ”
The Hermes Guild lords were famous for squeezing the users to an unbearable degree .
As soon as she was appointed, Dain changed the tax rate and eliminated most discrimination in hunting grounds and quests .
Excluding the mandatory tax to the Hermes Guild, only the minimum tax was required .
The city also formed its own funds by operating businesses .
“Lord-nim . This is a difficult situation . ”
“The Hermes Guild didn’t give any instructions about how to rule . I am acting within the guild’s rules . ”
There was a backlash among the Hermes Guild users but that soon stopped .
Rumours of Dain’s friendship with Lafaye and Darius circulated .
Even when there were rebels on the Central Continent, Evaluk Castle kept evolving and now boasted the largest population and economic power .
Dain made friends with the residents as she patrolled the streets several times every day .
“Lord-nim . This is a herb . I tried to prepare flowers but I like herbs more…”
“Yes . Thank you . This is fine . ”
Dain chewed the herb and laughed brightly .
“After eating, you should have some ginseng as well… Hem hem . ”
She wore a dark robe in order to not make people and users uncomfortable .
“An accident!”
“There are several people that are seriously injured . ”
One of the residents was hit by a wagon and was seriously injured .
Dain ran over straight away and reached out her hand .
“I’ll fix it . Absolute Recovery!”
She used an advanced divine spell like a priest!
She was also involved in hunting parties centred around Evaluk Castle .
She sneaked into places where people were recruiting to go to the hunting grounds .
“Do you want to go hunting?”
“One more person… I have been looking for a long time . Seeking a level 400 user . ”
“That is me . ”
“Then would you like to go with me?”
“Yes . I’ll go . ”
“But we need a warrior . You seem like a shaman looking at your headband and earrings, so can you fight in close combat?”
Dain nodded lightly . She wasn’t a combat profession but it didn’t matter .
“Yes . I can . ”
“What type of weapons do you primarily use?”
“A sword, a spear, an axe, a bow, a hammer, a sickle, chains, a rope and a pickaxe . ”
“Ah… I see . You can deal with almost everything . ”
“It is because weapons are my hobby . ”
“The priest in my party isn’t very skills so you will have to be careful about managing your health . ”
“I can use healing magic . ”
“Really? Then you are the best . ”
A shaman who could do anything!
If that wasn’t the case then a high level shaman wouldn’t never get to join a party .
Dain played in dungeons when she was bored, therefore her skill levels were very high and she also learnt a variety of techniques .
From traps disassembly to blessings, curses and monster tracking . Whenever Dain joined a party, a speedy hunt would occur .
She supplemented any missing professions and the party members just followed behind her .
“Have you ever hunted with Lord-nim?”
“No . Is it as good as the rumours?”
“The rumours weren’t enough . We just trusted her and left it to her . She took care of everything . ”
Dain entered dungeons when she was bored and also visited cities .
The popularity of Evaluk Castle increased and became financially efficient as the users grew .
Her fame wasn’t the best, but it couldn’t rise any higher among the local residents .
Dain’s reputation was high in the entire Kallamore region .
After a leadership meeting, the Hermes Guild made a formal offer to her .
“Why don’t you try expanding your governing area?”
“How much?”
“There are seven castles in an uneasy state around Evaluk Castle . The lords have lost their qualifications so… Please rule these areas . ”
“Yes . I understand . ”
Dain’s territory continued to grow and reached approximate 1/5th of the Kallamore area .
Through the exchange of technology, culture and production, Evaluk Castle increased its influence like a black hole .

The salesperson Komul from the Mapan Trading Company! He dragged his hand wagon and entered Evaluk Castle .
“Come come . Dried fish for sale!”
“Please come in . Come and see . Pick up cheap crystal balls for disposable magic and video conversion . ”
“Selling snake skin, insect shells and various timber . You know the value of it . ”
The wide space of Evaluk Castle was a paradise for merchants!
They were sitting on the ground or standing on wagons and actively selling things .
‘Hmm . Of these merchants, a third of them are full-timers . ’
Komul analyzed the users with sharp eyes .
A merchant who avoided combat would have their belly and chin grow thicker .
‘Average users are selling many things… The economy looks robust . The economy is developing through minor trade . ’
Komul was a native user of the Arpen Kingdom .
He started Royal Road late but still experienced the initial period of the Arpen Kingdom .
‘Whatever it takes . Mapan-nim said . I will look for a better spot to trade . ’
It was impossible for a merchant to monopolize the trading of goods within a kingdom .
Economically, it was important for residents and general users to move goods between small villages and cities .
In order to produce large quantities of leather products and weapons, the related materials needed to be supplied .
The faster that users and local residents received daily commodities, the better the economic development would be .
It was less meaningful if only one village was looked at . But when looking at the size of a whole kingdom, trade was a very big factor in production, consumption and user growth .
‘Evaluk Castle is energetic . ’
Komul sold all the pickled fruits loaded on his cart in 10 minutes .
‘That is a record speed for selling this . ’
The Mapan Trading Company dispatched a secret salesperson to each city in the Haven Empire .
From low level to high level users, they would sell typical products and gather information .
It was possible to statistically analyze the extent of the city’s consumption, the technology, user level and population satisfaction .
‘Evaluk Castle . It is going to require a long-term strategy . ’
Komul passed through Evaluk Castle towards Subein .
Agents of the Mapan Trading Company quickly spread through the Central Continent .
* * *
Seo-yoon drank tea in her room in the Earth Palace .
The Wife and Child star sculpture shining from her window . The moon was beautiful, but not as much as the Wife and Child sculpture floating in the sky .
‘I hope there will be a happy family sculpture in the future . ’
She wondered if there could be a bigger present than this . Seo-yoon rested at the window before returning to her desk .
-An analysis of the economic power of the Central Continent cities .
-Population migration in the empire .
-The main hunting areas and quests in the Hermes Guild, allowing any free merchant a chance to earn big money . The exhilarating fun of a bargain!
The sense of accomplishment when trading hundreds of thousands of gold was much greater than when hunting monsters .
“I can’t be too late . ”
Mapan started to run with his massive body . There was only one person he respected in this society .
Weed!
‘Before I met him, I was just a regular merchant who liked money . ’
Weed taught him about money .
Mapan transformed into an expert who could look at a customer and think of three or four ways to get money from them .
It was a glorious moment when he met Weed, allowing him to become the merchant he was today .
‘I am almost late for the appointment time . That absolutely can’t happen . ’
Mapan entered the palace and politely greeted Seo-yoon .
“I know… Heeop! I received a call from you . ”
“Mapan-nim . I’m sorry . There is something I have to deal with straight away but I can’t go myself . ”
“It is an honour that you thought of me . I’ll do anything . ”
Mapan’s eyes were filled with starlight as he gazed at Seo-yoon .
He was envious of Weed, but Seo-yoon’s presence in the Arpen Kingdom was even more surprising .
“There is something I have to buy in the Tullen area . It is possible for the Mapan Trading Company to purchase it?”
“Yes . Of course . ”
“Then please buy 100,000 gold’s worth of iron ore . I will send you the necessary funds from the kingdom’s budget . ”
“I will do it . ”
Mapan said but he thought it was strange .
‘Something like this… 100,000 gold is a lot of money . Furthermore, buying iron ore from the Tullen region and bringing it to the Arpen Kingdom will be a complex task . The north doesn’t lack in iron ore . ’
That was just the beginning of Seo-yoon’s request .
“Please sell the iron ore in the Ritten area . The price is 13% higher so the profit margin will remain . ”
“Yes . That is good . If the merchant makes a bargain then I can get 17% . ”
“Is it possible to buy barley from Ormal Castle and sell it in the Gradian area?”
“There is a route so that will be easy . ”
“The price is 5% more expensive . I will invest 530,000 gold in this . ”
“I will promote it . ”
Mapan’s questions grew as he wrote it down . He hesitate but soon opened his mouth .
“But what is the purpose of these transactions? If you want a profit then it is better to change the sale locations . With iron ores, it is better to sell at the smithies in the nearby Somren . ”
“It is in order to interfere with the Haven Empire . ”
“Huh?”
“It will prevent the goods from being consumed in the right places . It is a normal deal but with interrupt production, causing the economy to hurt a little bit . ”
Seo-yoon spoke with a decisive expression . Even this sight was beautiful .
‘There was this way as well . ’
Mapan was smuggling money but he only thought about himself .
The Central Continent’s economy was driven by a very complex and efficient system .
Putting a small pin in one of the cogs would cause a huge disruption .
As Mapan thought about this, many things popped into his head .
‘Selling iron ores in the Ritten area . There will be a temporary scarcity in the areas where iron ore is needed . The merchants will be able to bring them to Somren later . However, the process has increased so the price will go up . ’
The price would go up as multiple transactions are made and there was also the shipping cost .
In the long term, it would have a deteriorating effect on the national power of the Haven Empire .
‘We will also make a lot of money… Damaging them in this way… It is a tricky method so it is hard to notice . ’

Death knight, death knight, death knight, death knight!
Weed summoned the undead in Kallapik Castle . The rebels and defenders fighting for the kingdom were endlessly pushed .
“The knights won’t be so easily killed!”
Romuna shouted and Weed screamed back positively .
“Just think of them as hunting prey . ”
“The difficulty is higher!”
“We can endure . ”
“Yes but…”
“Just keep striking . In fact, this is a rare opportunity . ”
Romuna restored her mana and used wide area fire magic .
An attack that destroyed buildings and burnt enemies!
It was cool but she had to take a moment of rest due to the magician’s nature of consuming mana .
“Irene . Bless me . ”
“Yes . I understand . Smart Blessing!”
It was a blessing that temporarily increased wisdom and mana .
Romuna opened a magic book and chanted a spell .
“Hot flames rise, a rain of heavenly fire falls to the earth . ”
It took four minutes to chant the spell while watching the magic book .
“Great Fire Storm!”
Hundreds of metres of earth split apart and flames soared into the sky . The sky was raining fire .
An ultimate magic that didn’t distinguish between rebels and defenders!
“There are many people to fight . ”
Python was a warrior who broke through the enemy with Surka who came back when they needed a break . Meanwhile, Zephyr stayed next to Weed .
Pale and Maylon fired arrows like a machine .
“Corpse Explosion, Corpse Explosion, Corpse Explosion!”
Every time a body exploded, Weed accumulated experience and skill proficiency .
The battlefield atrocities didn’t end there as bodies exploded everywhere, dealing damage to all troops .
Seasoned Crab quietly aimed at the commanders while Hwaryeong was a distinctive presence .
At first, Seasoned Crab was surprised to see Hwaryeong go out into enemy lines .
“Why are you doing this?”
“Just stay by my side . ”
“Do you want me to protect you?”
“Nope . Kill all enemies who come . ”
Hwaryeong’s skirt flowed as she danced in the middle of the battlefield .
The beautiful movements caught the attention of enemy knights and commanders, and they became strongly deceived .
Seasoned Crab was able to easily eliminate the commanders .
Ttararang!
Bellot sat on a pile of stones and played her harp .
His colleagues who were afraid of dying when they came to Kallapik Castle had adjusted to Weed’s lies .
There were meals everywhere around them .
Weed wave the Fallen Saint’s Wand .
‘Get rid of the enemies running amok . Having endless enemies is a perfect battlefield for a necromancer . ’
When it was evening, the battle was over and Weed’s group settled in to rest .
“Uh… It is coming to an end . ”
Surka sat on the ground .
Pale and Maylon were moving around the battlefield to supplement the arrows that were already consumed .
They could fire mana even without arrows, but there was a difference in the mana consumption .
“Pick it up . ”
-Understood . Master .
Weed summoned the wind elemental to help collect the arrows .
Of course, the main purpose was to get all types of loot along with the arrows .
“Uhaah . ”
The sweaty Hwaryeong stretched charmingly as she spread her arms . A celebrity!
She lived in a world different from ordinary people so she was used to staying up all night . Bellot also finished playing with a bright expression .
“Now I can live a little bit . Unni . ”
“Yes . It feels like it has been a while since there was a hard hunt . We followed Weed . ”
“Well, it is okay . ”
Weed checked the status of his colleagues while making a bonfire .
“What are you doing?”
“I am cooking . ”
“Wow . What are you cooking?”
“It’s nothing . ”
A considerable number of ingredients emerged from Weed’s backpack .
He grilled steak with special sauce and made a seafood soup using his advanced cooking skills . They seemed like expensive grade 1 or 2 cooking ingredients just by the smell and colour . Python laughed at the thought of eating an abundant amount of delicious food .
“As expected from the first master .
Zephyr and Pale became dizzy because they knew Weed’s personality .
“That’s not it . He only mastered sculpting . ”
“I feel something creepy . ”
“I feel more anxious than when I first arrived at Kallapik Castle . ”
Anyway, Weed’s cooking instantly disappeared into their mouths .
The close to 30 servings quickly disappeared as his colleagues ate .
Irene and Bellot, who had nice personalities, moved their spoons before the others could .
“Weed-nim’s cooking . I can live . ”
Hwaryeong grasped a big bone with meat attached .
Weed laughed as the food disappeared in a short time .
“Prepare to fight . ”
“Huh? The battle is over . ”
Maylon said to them .
“Don’t you know? Kallapik’s history . ”
“What about it?”
Maylon knew the history of the Versailles Continent .
Although there were some differences in the history, this was referred to as the worst battlefield .
“The struggle with the nobles will last a week . The attack will continue at night but the royal guards will defend it with much difficulty . The noble faction was finally defeated and peace came . After that, creatures started attacking . ”
“I-is that so?”
“Yes . This quest won’t end so easily . ”
Overwork and mistreatment .
They weren’t surprised .
Given the scale of the noble rebels, they knew it wouldn’t end so simply with just one battle .
On average, the level of the knights was in the mid-300s .
Each individual was weak, but the joint attack of the knights and the magic divisions were dangerous .
In addition, the commanders were in the mid-400s .
They had the power to improve the morale and capabilities of troops using their commanding abilities .
In order to subdue them, Python and Seasoned Crab worked diligently .
Maylon asked with curiosity .
“But Weed-nim drove away the Embinyu Church . They were destroyed in the past and completely disappeared in the future . Isn’t that right?”
“Yes . That’s right . ”
“But if we stop them here then won’t the future of the Versailles Continent change?”
Maylon’s eyes shone like lanterns .
Hwaryeong, Bellot and Zephyr weren’t interested in history but the others also wondered about the results .
Weed explained while washing the dishes .
“Time Sculpting . So it is dangerous to go back and change history with Travel Sculpting . I don’t know what changes will happen in the future . But there is nothing to worry about with this quest . ”
“Why?”
“By the end of the battle, this area will be hit by an earthquake . ”
* * *
Kallapik Palace!
Weed’s colleagues just remembered one thing .
Attack if they weren’t attack . If they were undead then leave them alone .
Sooner or later, everyone would become an undead .
“Kuweeek!”
“My head!”
“Syuong syuong syuong syuong syuong syuong!”
There were drooling zombies and dullahans carrying their heads .
Van Hawk led the death knights in a confrontation against the knights .
“The undead are strong . ”
“Van Hawk was the commander of the Dark Army . ”
“The pride of the undead… I will tell you my name . I am knight Kreger . ”
“Kreger . Soon you will become my new subordinate . ”
Weed didn’t focus on the undead and searched the battlefield .
Numerous troops were gathering in Kallapik Castle .
The rebels of the noble families and those loyal to the kingdom’s royal family .
Both sides fought at Kallapik Castle, as the battle occurred in both day and night .
“Rise . Open your eyes, ghosts that never sleep . Live and get revenge on those that killed you! Undead Rise . ”
Weed called undead ghosts .
He used stage 1 magic to produce abundant numbers of zombies, skeletons and ghouls . Then he used stage 2 undead magic in the area where knights and nobles were fighting .
“N-necromancer!”
“How dare you . Selling an eye in a battlefield!”
The rebel army was formed from nobles of various parts of the kingdom .
In areas where they fought, undead occurred .
As the magic rank rose, different types of undead could be summoned and their health and combat power would increase .
The quality of the corpses wasn’t as good as the giants’ fortress but the mana consumption used to summon the undead was reduced .
“Kuweeek!”
“Unbelievable… A zombie!”
“Ghosts . Their eyes are flashing . Priest!”
Weed’s Summon Undead skill was rapidly growing .
Although it was only intermediate level 1, the skill proficiency was improving in quality rather than quantity .
“Solid Bones, Wind of Stench . ”
Enhancing magic and curse magic were also enough to increase proficiency .
Even if the level was low, there were many enemies so it was good to build experience . Surka and Python started talking .
“I think I’m used to this . ”
“Certainly . I also feel like I am adapting . ”
Weed made a big decision on the third day .
“Hit the rebels . ”
Maylon was confused and asked .
“Aren’t we fighting them now?”
“We have to go subdue the enemy’s base . ”
“Such a thing…”
Astonishment flickered in Maylon’s eyes . She was very strong as a broadcasting host, but fighting both armies caused her to be tense .
Whether they were nobles or soldiers of the kingdom, she had to fight the enemy!
Surka applauded .
“Wah . How interesting!”
Python laughed as he stuck the greatsword into the ground .
“I am in favour of this . It is tiresome fighting like this . ”
The decision to hit the bulk of the enemy!
“Van Hawk . You need to open the way . ”
“Understood . Master . ”
“Take care of the knights and attack the archers and magician unit . Also stop the commanding force from getting away . ”
“Is that all I have to do?”
“Yes . I hope you are successful . ”
Van Hawk’s huge shoulders!
As the death knights attacked the bulk of the noble rebels, Weed summoned ghosts and ran with his colleagues .
Van Hawk formed a formation with the death knights .
Weed’s Undead Summon was intermediate level 2 and Barkhan’s equipment made it more effective .
The death knights defeated the knights .
“Defense formation . Defense formation!”
The knights of the nobles defended themselves with the shields of the heavy infantry .
“Breakthrough!”
Van Hawk wielded his sword and the death knights threw their bodies .
This tactic was possible because they were undead .
The ghosts ran through the bodies of the enemies .
While the leading death knights were destroyed, the gaps in the defenses of the rebels were exposed .
“Die . Immortal Commander Weed-nim gave us new life . ”
“Bow down to greet Immortal Commander!”
“Weed’s proud army won’t stop!”
The death knights in armour spoke in bizarre voices as they attacked .
Weed followed closely behind the ghosts and chanted spells .
“Dead Rise, Corpse Explosion!”
Corpses rose in an instant and some of them exploded, widening the path .
After using Sculptural Destruction, all the art stats were put into wisdom so the great power breached the defense formation .
“An ambush!”
“Protect Duke Grouse!”
The rebel forces fighting the palace guards hurried over .
The death knights pierced enemy lines but forces gathered from everywhere .
“Now . Sweep through the rebels for the kingdom!”
The palace guards chased after the rebels .
“Hiyah . Charge . Charge!”
“Python-nim . This is a great . ”
“I feel good . Hiyah . Hiyah!”
The death knights attacked Duke Grouse who was commander of the rebels .
Weed and his colleagues overpowered the surrounding troops and used a short gap to penetrate deeply .
“The execution guillotine . ”
A sharp offensive!
“Aaaack!”
-Duke Grouse, the head of the Kallapik rebellion has lost his life . You can freely pick two stat points based on your combat achievement . Fame has increased by 690 . |
-A massive task has been achieved in a large-scale battle! You have killed 10,000 enemies . Fighting Spirit and perseverance has increased by 1 . |
Duke Grouse, the head of the rebels, lost his life and the nobles started to escape .
“Chase . ”
Weed used the undead to sweep up the experience .
As the rebels suddenly collapsed, the death knights increased to over 1,000 .
It wasn’t enough to sweep the battlefield, but that was enough power to fight against the knights .
“Fight . ”
Weed used the characteristics of the undead to start fighting .
Fight and fight again .
Raise undead and raise again .
“Piece through . The master of your life commands it . Smash the enemies!”
A necromancer couldn’t become easily bored on a large battlefield .
A powerful undead unit occupied the battlefield area and started fighting .
The death knights were the centre and supported by the skeleton units, while the ghosts bit the fleeing enemies .
-Faith has decreased by 2 . -Luck has decreased by 3 . |
-This battle takes advantage of the characteristics of the undead . -Wisdom has increased by 1 . |
It is the pain of a downturn, but weed stats said that even had yet .
“Sweep them all away!”
The battle was over that night .
In the original history, the battle of Kallapik Castle lasted a few more days but the result was changed .
After Duke Grouse died, the noble forces were irreversibly damaged .
The castle guards lost a similar amount but were victorious anyway .
“Everybody shout!”
“For His Majesty!”
“We have overcome the enemy with courage and hope . The unrest in the kingdom will be removed soon . ”
However, the joy of the kingdom’s guards only lasted until midnight .
Undead .
The undead could no longer prey on the rebels and started to strike at the kingdom’s guards .
“Ohh… This is a really bad thing . ”
“I’ll make a spinach pizza . ”
“Spinach pizza is good . No… That’s not it!”
“Add a tangy lemon drink . ”
“I won’t oppose the deal . ”
Surka tried to disagree but was quickly persuaded .
On this Travel Sculpting trip with Weed, they were continuously brainwashed .
All the NPCs here would disappear after their adventure . Therefore, there was no need to bother about good or evil .
“I am lacking arrows . ”
“I have some arrows left . I’ll share . ”
“Pale-nim doesn’t have enough left . ”
“I’m okay . My heart will grow bigger if I give it away . Haha . ”
Pale and Maylon were shooting a romance movie on the battlefield so they were interested in the surroundings .
Either way, they wanted to look cool while fighting .
Irene used recover magic and Romuna used fire magic .
Hwaryeong danced and Bellot played musical instruments .
“Ah… Shaking my body relaxes me . ”
“Unni, this is really funny . Do you want to listen to a new song that I made?”
Only Seasoned Crab felt somewhat troubled .
“Life and death… Living a long life is good and dying early is bad . At the end of this adventure, all these lives will disappear . ”
