The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend - Chapter 102
Only Noblemtl
Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (102)
A quick and successful takeover of the Caliphate Prison.
When the battle was over, only Venus and the advanced undead remained.
Venus’s skinny face was covered in wrinkles.
“grandfather…….”
Weed deliberately called her by her friendly name to increase their intimacy, but it was a mistake.
(Master, Venus may look old, but objectively she is young.)
‘How old are you?’
(His date of birth is not recorded exactly. There are slight differences in each history book, but his current age is estimated to be 34 years old.)
Magical genius.
Although she had mastered incredible magic, Venus was still relatively young.
In the countryside, he is just old enough to be called a young man.
‘That’s ridiculous. That’s how old you are? You look like you’re in your 80s.’
(Dozens of records in history books roughly match.)
‘Even if you have a lot of wrinkles, why are there freckles on your face?’
(Until recently, he probably didn’t even look like this. It seems to be the aftereffect of frequently using black magic that shortens his lifespan.)
Weed also had a trait that allowed him to change his appearance.
Rhodoan’s body.
Instead of growing larger and gaining muscle, he lost his hair.
It was originally quite abundant, so it wasn’t at a level that was noticeable yet, but I had to be prepared for it to shine in the future.
‘I made a big mistake by calling you grandfather.’
Weed looked at Venus, but she didn’t seem to care about the title.
A red glow lingered in Venus’ wrinkled eyes.
“I will take revenge on them all. I will capture their souls and make them suffer forever.”
“That is what you ought to do.”
“You also said you would seek revenge. What kind of revenge is it? Tell me.”
Weed didn’t like lying, but he was careful to use it whenever necessary.
(You need to answer carefully now.)
‘why?’
(Venus, though twisted by revenge, is fundamentally intelligent. She can see through ridiculous and incoherent lies, and is currently watching her master closely.)
‘Why are you looking at me?’
(You may have seen the sculptured creatures in the prison. They most likely know or guess the master’s abilities through magic.)
(Depending on your answer, a battle with Venus may occur.)
Lies should be told according to the time and place.
Weed felt that his meeting with Venus was a significant turning point.
‘It’s good that you escaped prison quickly by clearing the challenges, but there is another danger.’
If there was a problem, there were undead above Death Knights all around them.
They are not pure undead, but powerful undead with various auxiliary magics cast on them by Venus.
‘I didn’t want to fight in the dungeon even if there were fragments of life, but now it’s even more disadvantageous.’
Venus is someone I want to hit on the back of the head someday, but today is not that day.
Weed decided not to lie and to speak honestly.
“There are those who put my daughter in danger. I must seek revenge on them.”
“Your daughter?”
“Yes. I must seek revenge, and for now, I must save my daughter.”
Venus, who had been listening to Weed’s words and carefully observing his expression, asked.
“How can I believe what you say?”
“… … .”
“Aren’t you saying this because you want to escape from prison and live?”
Weed’s alertness was heightened.
I decided not to follow Venus into the dungeon.
He even refused his quest.
‘Are you just going to bury me instead of leaving?’
Weed was suspicious enough, but he didn’t think it was dangerous even in a dangerous situation.
Those who are crazy about revenge are simple-minded and will follow their emotions.
Even he himself would not forgive anyone involved if something happened to Daye.
Thinking back on those feelings, I understood Venus’ suspicious feelings.
“Here is a sculpture of my daughter.”
Weed took the sculpture of his daughter out of his arms and carefully placed it into Venus’ hands.
A wooden sculpture depicting the appearance of 6-year-old Daye.
“This is your daughter… … .”
“She is the most beautiful daughter in the world and the second most beautiful person in the world.”
“How precious is it to you?”
“I didn’t really understand my parents’ feelings.”
Weed felt that parenting was difficult and a burden during her teens and early twenties.
It’s hard to raise a child if you don’t have money.
Although we had a family and a daughter when we had enough money, I think we would have been happy even if we hadn’t.
‘I would have been happy if I had worked hard and fed myself.’
From the moment a baby is born until now.
Isn’t a daughter someone who becomes more and more lovable and pretty as time goes by?
“I saw my daughter being born, and she followed me, calling me daddy. She’s a little older now, but there was a time when I was everything in the world to her. I don’t know what she’ll experience in the future. She’ll go through hardships. That’s not a bad thing. But if some guys put her in danger… … .”
Weed remembered seeing the movie.
Didn’t you say that you would chew everything up and eat it, even the gold teeth?
I felt like I needed to get revenge 10 million times more than that to feel better.
“My revenge cannot be expressed in words like killing.”
It was a feeling that couldn’t be explained with lies.
Venus looked at Daye’s sculpture for quite some time and then returned it.
“I trust you. Make sure you get your revenge.”
“Yes, brother.”
“… … Brother?”
Considering the age he has lived so far, Weed was older.
In the first place, there is no need to consider age when going on an adventure against history.
“In Roanoke, wouldn’t the strong man be your brother?”
When Weed started his social life as a teenager, everyone was his older brother.
He has a lot of money and buys me food, so wouldn’t it be nice to call him “brother”?
A being that displays incredible fighting power while summoning undead from prison and even gave me a ride on the bus.
Venus frowned, her wrinkled face wrinkled.
“Don’t call me ‘brother’ from now on.”
“yes.”
Now all we need to do is part ways peacefully.
Venus said, as if she still had regrets.
“If there’s any danger, call me sometime.”
“yes?”
“Don’t die leaving your daughter in this world. I don’t know what justice is, but you can’t hold back on revenge. I will help you get your revenge.”
Tiring!
High intimacy with Venus.
Special rewards!
You have obtained the summon ticket for Necromancer Venus. You can summon him in 1 battle.
However, even if Venus is summoned, she will fight according to her own judgment.
“… … .”
With just a few words, I obtained the summoning power of the immensely powerful Venus.
(It appears to be a hidden reward from stage 8 of Hell.)
‘A hidden reward?’
(Venus is generally a very difficult person to get close to. From the time we met in prison, she was an enemy who would take the life of a challenger.)
(It is difficult to gain Venus’s approval and become friendly with him.)
(Master’s skills and characteristics. And just now, you moved Venus’ heart with a conversation.)
(It is considered a special reward outside of the established strategy.)
“There will be a day when we meet again.”
Venus left through the crimson portal, and the undead collapsed on the spot, turning into corpses.
Weed felt a little bitter as the tension eased.
‘When Roanoke starts, will there be any strong players like Venus among the users?’
(One who has approached the abyss. Users have not yet reached this level.)
‘That’s fortunate.’
Venus was a powerful man who could make history by waging war against kingdoms.
The reason his quest in prison was less difficult than Count Hornwood’s was because he had to escape the Tower with his Mana Heart destroyed and take revenge.
If he had gone on an adventure from his point of view, with his exceptional magical talents, he would have been greatly rewarded.
‘I should have done Venus’ quest. I regret it.’
(It’s already happened. And Count Hornwood’s quest was more difficult.)
‘If I had gained Venus’ magical talent… … .’
(You have achieved the highest level of achievement in Count Hornwood’s quest. You have no reason to regret it, do you?)
‘Humans are meant to live with endless regrets.’
Tiring!

Level 9 of Hell difficulty.
The character creation process was nearing its end.
Hellfire Stage 9 opens in 3 hours. Until then, you can rest and do whatever you want.
Weed spent three hours sewing on an ashen wolf skin, looking at the message window.
You can go to the Legendary Library to purchase traits or skills, but the normal growth rate is far beyond that.
Roanoke basically becomes stronger through levels, skills, equipment, achievements, and traits.
Stat-raising is the old way.
Still, if you have incredible stats like Weed, there is nothing to be afraid of.
‘It feels like I’m playing Royal Road.’
When I think of Royal Road, I feel nostalgic.
Virtual reality system.
The appeal of adventuring into a completely new world and growing within it made people happy.
(You worked really hard on Royal Road too.)
‘I ate what I had to and slept well, but… … I did it terribly.’
After sewing like that for 3 hours, I challenged the 9th level of hell.
The ninth test of Hell difficulty, ‘Asceticism’, is underway.
Long ago, the axis of the world was on the verge of collapse.
The giant Lotva was carrying the heavy axle all by himself.
Levels, traits, skills, stats, and equipment are not involved in this test.
You must become the giant Lotva and bear the axis of the world.
Objective: Lift the world’s axis in 2 hours
Challenge: Holding the World Axis for a long time will grant you additional rewards.
The place where Weed was was the top of a high mountain with clouds visible below.
A vast, desolate place where not a single tree grows.
The axis of the world was a huge pillar that reached all the way to the sky.
There is no need for the swordsmanship that was demonstrated while blinded in the 5th stage of Hell, or the one-month battle preparation in the 8th stage.
It was a simple gateway that held the axis of the world in place.
