Even as it did so, it moved towards the opposite side of the passage as it spewed forth spider silk that was thicker than a forearm.
“Kaiser Sword!”
Weed used the mana he had left to fall back on his most powerful attack.
He swiftly pierced the vital point of the Elfin Queen Spider, the rear point where the spider thread came out.
— You have delivered a critical hit.
The Kaiser Sword that had its power maximized through Sculptural Destruction!
The horrible destructive power that equaled the ultimate attack skill of the Magicians, Mana Burn.
The Elfin Queen Spider's huge body trembled.
Claaaaang!
An explosion, flash, and tremor even greater than when he broke through the boulder that was blocking the passage burst out.
The best that Hegel and the group members could do was to crouch down and block their ears. However, the explosions and light didn't stop with that.
“Kaiser Sword, Kaiser Sword, Kaiser Sword!”
The final form of the Imperial Formless Sword Technique that he used even by consuming his own Health and Stamina after his Mana had run out completely!
He was hunting the Elfin Queen Spider relentlessly through the barrage of Kaiser Sword.
— You have delivered a critical hit.
29 % additional damage.
— You have delivered a critical hit.
47 % additional damage.
— You have delivered a critical hit.
82 % additional damage.
— You have delivered a critical hit.
114 % additional damage.
This was the reappearance of the single point attack technique — all those attacks were bombarded on a single point!
He was attacking a precise point through the invocation of an extremely difficult skill while mindlessly chasing the rapidly fleeing Elfin Queen Spider.
Although Hegel and the others weren't able to see it because they had their heads ducked down, the attack technique that Weed was currently demonstrating could be called the strongest attack.
The damage that increased through Kaiser Sword with Sculptural Destruction and his Sword Grinding skill. All of this attack power was applied to the single point attack technique.
With its exponentially decreasing Health and increasing injuries, the Elfin Queen Spider's movement speed was markedly diminished.
It might have tried resisting if it had the strength since escape had become impossible, but in the face of such incredible damage, it staggered a few steps forward and then died.
The Elfin Queen Spider's body turned to grey light, and from it poured out sapphires the size of duck eggs and a waist-high pile of relics and gold coins.
Weed collected the loot with lightning speed.
“Wahhh, although he said he was a Sculptor…” Hegel moaned as he clutched his head.
It was as if his mind had gone dumb; Hegel couldn't think. Though he said he was a Sculptor, what the hell did it mean that he could collect spider silk as Sewing materials.
“And those athletic movements… it wasn't skill, but real sword technique.”
The majority of users fought while relying on in-game skill. However, special fighters used their own power and were able to optimize their fighting even with skills. In a case like this, the difference they could show in their fighting was incredible.
While holding the same sword, a normal human and a trained swordsman fight. The result would already be decided. Even if their bodies and equipment were on par with one another, with the practiced person's judgment, sense, and experience, they could only show a world of difference.
Even in Royal Road, if an expert of fighting in reality and a normal person hunted monsters, of course the difference would be apparent.
Maintaining the optimal distance, making minimal evasive movement, and using an attack method that let them draw out their maximum strength! The mindset with which they hunted would be different, and fundamentally, just the way they moved was extremely and completely different.
The majority of people weren't up at that kind of level.
From their days as a beginner, they would become used to the character and become experts at skill use as they developed more and more. As they hunted repeatedly, the method with which they fought with monsters would become increasingly proficient.
That you could catch a monster that you had hunted hundreds of times before much more easily than a type of monster you were fighting for the first time was this kind of logic!
However, Weed or the SwordNoobs didn't need that process.
“All you've gotta do is knock it down.”
There wasn't a speck of sympathy in those who ignorantly knocked down the monster.
“He must've succeeded in the hunt.”
“Let's go and see.”
After about 20 seconds had passed, Selsia picked her body up. Following her, the other party members walked to where Weed was.
They felt something like awe.
The fact that they were feeling intimidated because of this mere Dwarf was laughable, but it was the truth.
If it was someone they didn't know, they wouldn't have even dared to approach him.
When they had neared him, Weed was wrapping a bandage around his body. He was using the technique of holding a bandage in both hands and winding it around his torso, arm, leg, neck, and back. He rubbed herbs on thickly and was deep in meditation with his eyes closed.
Skill mastery of Bandaging!
The skill that brought even competent Warriors esteem if they raised it to Intermediate — Weed had mastered it through his combat labors.
His Health and Mana were being steadily restored.
Although they'd approached Weed, upon seeing how he was so heavily wounded, Selsia couldn't dare disturb him.
“What should we do… It looks like he got really hurt from fighting with the Elfin Queen Spider.”
“We can't even treat him cause we don't have a Cleric…”
It happened when they were fretting helplessly.
After he'd recovered just 8 % of his Health, Weed opened his eyes.
They were narrow and sidelong, slitted eyes. Weed's eyes weren't originally like this; his eyes normally appeared bright and gave off a clear image. Now, his eyes were changed because of the Art of Sculpture Transformation.
The life in the narrow and slitted eyes was bleary.
“I don't have time to play around like this. I've gotta recover my expenses!”
After taking a long, deep breath, he staggered as he walked to the passage where the Elfin Queen Spider had emerged.
His ankle must've broken in the thick of battle, as it was dragging on the ground. If not for his Perseverance and Resilience, it was an injury that would have already rendered fighting, even moving, impossible.
“Something like a broken ankle will probably reattach itself with time.”
Weed plowed on as he used his sword like a cane.
Since he had experienced a broken ankle or wrist over a hundred times, he knew the state of his body better than anyone. Therefore, he was going to continue fighting.
Choi Ji Hoon was having a date with Lee Hyun's little sister, Lee Hye Yeon.
He fixed her electric appliances, and had become friends with her as he taught her the things she didn't know in Royal Road. Although they weren't on couple terms yet, their relationship was very close.
While drinking strawberry milk, Lee Hye Yeon asked, “Oppa, should I show you my personal talent?”
“Personal talent?”
