The mentor-less Weed’s instilled his own interpretation as it evolved.
Uses of Handicraft to raise the maximum precision of the fundamental likeness of objects!
By crafting duplicate of a work by another Sculptor, the gain was great.
“In this way, I can make sculptures like this too…”
Weed did not understand some of the sculptures as to what they depicted.
Women that resembled the land, sky, and sun were carved.
If the women were the expression of attractiveness, then the other object accentuates the meaning of it.
Exquisite harmonizing beauty!
Whenever he restores these types of sculpture, the Handicraft proficiency rises.
“When I create Classic or Magnum pieces, the increase in proficiency is unparalleled; but this is fairly good.”
Weed’s Sculpturing and Handicraft skills were in Advanced level 4!
The two skills were at 54 % and 42 %, respectively.
At the beginning when his started learning how to sculpts, the Handicraft skill improved very rapidly; but having attained the Advanced stage, it hadn’t increase at all.
“For even more advanced sculptures, it alone was not even enough for Handicraft?”
Weed could only guess.
With only just Sculpturing, Handicraft skill is very difficult to master.
Nobody has ventured to achieve Handicraft Mastery yet!
Even when creating sculptures, or to take advantage of other production skills, and even in battle; the impact of Handicraft is enormous.
“To master Handicraft for just combat classes is highly unlikely.”
One would rather to go through the process of upgrading the class to gain much stronger attacks.
After having completed 2nd job advancement, the Knights or Warriors statistically would have an increase in stamina and higher damage output.
Despite the Geomchis low levels, their attacks are very excellent.
Weed too, although not on the weak side, but the speed of his growth through battles isn’t something comparable to theirs.
His Handicraft and Sculpturing stats could be obtained through creating sculptures.
With these given points, his combat effectiveness wasn’t pale comparing to the Geomchis.
Aside from the Stamina, Physical Resistance, and Strength, the will to fight without a single break was just as high.
“Give Life to Sculpture, Sculpture Blade, Sculpture Destruction Skill, Shape-shifting Sculpture. Even with all these my melee isn’t comparable to the Sahyeongs…”
In essence, all of Weed’s combat capabilities were Sculpture based.
The ability to understand one’s character is important to one’s growth.
Weed’s growth was optimized according to his characteristics comparing to everybody else.
So it was hard to find an opponent who was akin to him at the same level.
And even the learned life-skill Fishing skill boosted his health and vitality to an extraordinary level for his profession.
He also has manufacturing skills such as Sword Grind, Armor Shine, Ironing; the likes the normal Sculptors would ever see.
“I gotta gain more experiences. The experiences accumulated in the various fields can affect the Handicraft Mastery.”
In addition, the Understanding of Sculptures skill rose very rapidly.
Having repaired more than 300 sculptures, the skill suddenly reached Intermediate level 7.
At the rate that it was going, just a bit more and it may reach Advanced level.
If that was possible then he could morph into the fairytale like monster.
“Giant Weed. Not bad!”
Weed with a satisfied smile moved his hands busily repairing the sculptures.
And if the Shape-shifting Sculpture growth was also just as fast, then it could compensate for the lowly stat Sculptor class.
“Puchihihihihihit!”
Weed broke down in a vulgar laugh. One that was similar to days when he was the Orc Karichwi.
While the Vampires who were carefully watching the scene.
“Crazy.”
“He’s not normal.”
“I should keep in mind to never drink that human’s blood.”
The time on Versailles continent has reached two and a half months.
Geomchis and the party were surprised whenever they returned to Todeum.
Sculptures that were destroyed changed into those in perfect form.
When viewing Weed’s efforts, there was no way to describe their admiration.
Even the pious minded Pale said.
“He’s not human. How can you honestly work like that? I thought it was impossible to finish repairing that many sculptures…”
Hwaryeong eyes twinkled.
“I think a man who doesn’t give up and devoted is so great.”
Weed’s endless source of willpower was already formed even since he was 10.
At the valuable critical period of one’s lifetime!
He learned life from suffering under the hands of the loan sharks.
Money!
Miasma! (A noxious atmosphere or influence)
Persistence!
To describe Weed without mentioning these three things would make him obsolete.
So nearing the end of two and a half months, all the sculptures in Todeum that required repairs were finished.
The achievement was incredible.
The hard repair sculpture quest of Grade B!
As of now, the level of his Sculpturing skill was in the late Advanced level 4, and his Handicraft was the same.
Understanding of Sculptures hit the Intermediate level 9, and readily able to reach the Advanced stage any moment now.
Since crossing the mid threshold of Advanced level 4 of his Sculpturing Skill, he heard mysterious sounds coming into his ears.
— Please sculpt me.
— I want to see the world.
— If it’s you then you should be able.
— Be strong, c’mon!
Whenever he repairs the sculptures, he would hear these voices.
Not just one of them, he heard several mysterious voices.
“Is this the Vampire’s joke?”
Whenever the voices appeared, Weed would jump upright and turn around, but there was no one.
The Vampire’s Stealth skill, the ability for them to conceal and roam around, especially at night, was incredible.
Weed did not throw that suspicion out even if the visibility of the plaza was as clear as day.
— Me…please sculpt me.
The mysterious voices seemed to be coming from his immediate vicinity.
— Please, do me. Please carve my appearance.
He kept his eyes open and looked around, but there was no visible Vampire.
They have a general tendency to sleep during the day, so there was no reason for any of them to be around.
The vivid whispers seemed to be coming from right beside him.
Occasionally, the voices also sounded ominous.
— C’mon, sculpt me! I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you all!
— Do you want to have power? If so then carve me. Keukeukeukeuk. As a piece, I’ll bring hell to the world.
— You’re angry. Be angry. I’ll do everything to take revenge on those that harassed you.
The dried and wretched men’s voice could be heard.
Having heard dozens of voices in his ears, Weed was annoyed.
“You want me to sculpt what?”
He did not know the identities of the voices to his ear.
They on their own went on and on without a single story asking to be carved just like a herd of children.
As if Weed knew what to sculpt to satisfy their wishes.
“I really don’t know.”
While not having a single clue of what to do, Weed sculpted.
He carved out human beings, men and women.
Having repaired a lot of sculptures, he could produce Masterpieces from his keen perspectives.
However, the unidentified voices revealed their disappointments.
— That’s not it.
— These aspects are not me.
— I thought you were a competent Sculptor.
