“So they're here now. Just waiting was boring.”
Weed called Bingryong and the Phoenixes.
“Guys.”
“Speak. Master.”
“Wipe them out!”
“I see. I alone am sufficient.” Bingryong soared into the air.
Each time Bingryong flapped his wings, he rose in a straight ascent high above the ground, until his body looked like it had shrunk to the size of a hand.
His belly bulged out and a snow-white Breath shot towards the direction of the pursuers.
The Dragon's Breath flew like a meteorite, leaving a long trail behind as it blasted the pursuers.
The powerful attack froze the ground and the pursuers all at once!
The Dark Knights were able to barely hold onto their lives by abandoning their horses and throwing themselves elsewhere. However, a part of their bodies was frozen.
The Dark Knights had lost all will to fight and were quaking like aspen trees!
Bingryong flew over to where they were and trampled them.
Crack!
Bingryong annihilated the pursuers in a single blow!
Bingryong inhaled another large breath and roared while looking all all round him. It let out a victorious battle cry similar to the King of the Dinosaur Era, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
“ROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAR!”
His roar echoed in every direction.
The frail, timid, and powerless Bingryong's level had now passed level 446. The grown Bingryong was boasting of his strength.
KMC Media's program 'Weed'.
It was on break for a while after broadcasting the adventure in the land of the Vampires.
— What's the meaning of 'Weed'?
— Are you not broadcasting these days?
— Are you not broadcasting these days?
Questions popped up once in a blue moon on the website's message board because the program 'Weed' had been a broadcast with low viewer ratings.
The Website Administrator, Oh Yun Sil answered their questions politely.
— The meaning of the title 'Weed' is a secret. It'd be nice if this became a show viewers can get involved in. It is difficult to tell you about the future broadcast schedule as it is adjusted according to the station's internal schedule.
The viewers who saw the admin's words were certain.
'This program will be cancelled soon. It might've even ended already without announcement…'
As such, the program 'Weed' was slowly being forgotten by the viewers.
However, the head honchos of KMC Media hadn't lost their expectations for the program 'Weed.' The Equipment Technicians, Production Director, Writers, and Hosts were just waiting to be called.
Then a rumor Sculptor Weed was doing an incredible quest spread throughout the Versailles Continent.
KMC Media immediately held a meeting for the broadcast.
“We've looked through histories of the Versailles Continent, but the true nature of the Embinyu Church doesn't appear anywhere.”
“There are 12 sects within the church, and we estimate there is a separate order commanding them.”
“How are the players behaving?”
“It's as if a nuclear bomb has exploded. They are talking about the Embinyu Church and the Sculptor Weed in every village.”
“Since the inhabitants of Versailles Continent haven't stopped talking about the Embinyu Church, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it has become the most talked about topic in conversations.”
It was a meeting personally being chaired by the Head Director.
A simple analysis had just been concluded after looking at the images from the circuit connected to Lee Hyun's capsule.
“It's an opportunity to once again see Weed's feats, like the Immortal Legion and the Palrangka battle.”
The Head Director was a great fan of Weed.
Apart from the broadcasts, he was excited from just being able to see Weed's adventures!
Director Kang raised his hand to gain permission to speak, and moved his face closer to his microphone.
“Respectable Head Director and fellow colleagues, the matter is not as simple.”
“What is the problem, Director Kang?”
“Well, Head Director. First, we cannot overlook the quest difficulty. An S-class quest! Is it not true not a single person has completed one? Considering it was enough to spread rumors, it is not an ordinary quest. It may attract attention, but we might end up disappointing the viewers.”
“But we're talking about Weed's quest here. Wasn't he the first to ever complete an A-class difficulty quest?”
“That's right. He did do it, but…”
Director Kang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his brow. He felt the pressure of having to oppose the Head Director's words as a salaried worker!
In this desperately dangerous situation, his shirt was drenched in sweat, but he still had to say what had to be said.
“We have to examine the quests Weed completed. The Immortal Legion quest was an A-class difficulty, but he had the assistance of the Orcs and Dark Elves.”
The Head Director nodded.
The battle where Weed had fought as the Orc Karichwi had been so impressive, he still hadn't forgotten it. The Immortal Legion broadcast was still at the top of the ranking for the number of downloads.
“Please go on.”
“Yes. In large scale battles where he commanded these different forces, for a Sculptor, Weed had absurdly high Leadership and Charisma, instantaneous judgement in a rapidly changing battle, and the eye for detail and concentration to not miss even a small portion throughout the battle.”
Director Kang thoroughly praised Weed. Since the Head Director was a fan, criticism of Weed was off-limits within the station!
“If players who only know how to fight had been presented the same situation, they would have likely fought while buried in the interracial Orcs and Dark Elves and would have been defeated. Even if their level was high, they wouldn't have been able to stop the Immortal Legion. Weed's strength shines in large-scale battles.”
“His ability to command is difficult to rival; it is Weed's strong point.”
“Yes. It is exactly as you say. Weed has an immense strong point in quests that provide military support. Other A-rank difficulty quests have shown it as well. In the quest related to the honor of the Niflheim Empire's Imperial Family, and the quest where the Bone Dragon emerged, how much did he suffer?”
The Head Director nodded since he understood what Director Kang was trying to say.
After all the troubles Weed faced while crossing the cold and desolate North, he rode a Wyvern and defeated the Bone Dragon at the end of a great struggle.
“So Director Kang thinks the likelihood of Weed failing this quest… will be very high.”
“Yes. Though they say there's military support in his current quest as well, but I see it as being too much for him alone. If it was an A-rank difficulty quest, then he would have developed a resistance and the sculptures he made will have improved their skills on their own, so he would be able to complete it. However, I have judged the S-rank difficulty quest to be too much.”
The heft of an A-rank difficulty quest was still as great as ever.
Their competitors, CTS Media, had broadcasted an eradication of Giant Forest Golems and a related A-rank difficulty quest, and their viewer rating jumped to 7 % in an instant. For game broadcasting ratings alone, it was over 60 % of the share.
“Also… if we broadcast the quest this time, Weed's identity might be revealed.”
“His identity?”
“It will be quite difficult to hide the fact that God of War Weed and Sculptor Weed is in fact the same person.”
“Hmm, there was that problem as well.”
“Although we won't be able to hide it forever while continuing the broadcasts, but if we ignore the risk and broadcast it, we will lose a great deal. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion it is still a little too early.”
