Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (52)
Sullium, the city of frozen land.
Weed shared specific quests with people.
When the purification of fire is carried out according to the will of the Goddess Trinity, all living things in the sleeping city of Sulium will awaken at once.
“Hmm, this is really a S-class difficulty quest.”
“We have to stop the Lesser together with the soldiers in the city.”
Kalis and Roam looked uncomfortable.
The Lessers occupied vast territories on the continent, and to engage them was to take great risks.
It was okay to hunt hundreds of Lethars. If you caused a lot of damage, the Lethars would harbor a deep grudge.
Being attacked by the Lethars from all over the continent.
Hundreds of millions of rats form a pursuit party and give chase.
No matter what sacrifice was required, the vengeful Lessers would not stop attacking their targets.
The Lessers aren’t considered one of the worst races in Roanoke for nothing.
“It’s a frozen land in a distorted crack, so it seems that Letser’s grudge won’t be settled. It’s only when Letser informs his other kind that grudge is created.”
“Once the power of the Trinity Goddess is over, the Lethars will wake up and go berserk. Battles will break out all over the city.”
Pale, Calis, Roam, and two users from the Arpen guild thought it was a very difficult quest.
Aren’t there just six people having to fight the Lessers in a city on the verge of destruction?
“Before you place the fire purification, you need to find an area that is advantageous for blocking the lethals.”
“It might be a good idea to take the time to set up some obstacles.”
“That’s good. It would be a great help to have a solid defensive line.”
Including two users from the Calis, Roam, and Arpen guilds.
There was no hesitation in devising the best strategy possible in the current situation.
Because the experience I’ve gained from Royal Road isn’t going anywhere.
Weed stayed quiet and did not participate in the discussion because he had no intention of listening to other people’s stories in the first place.
(The Trinity Goddess is playing a prank.)
‘joke?’
(10 users who want to see a real adventure and help the lessers were invited.)
(They are users with relatively high skill in the level 80s, although their level is lower than that of Roam, Kalis, and Pale.)
This was the reason why the goddess Trinity was criticized as being more than neutral, but rather as an evil deity.
She didn’t hesitate to side with the monsters to see exciting adventures.
He enjoys pushing those who have received his quest to the limit, making them struggle and dying.
‘You mean I have to fight 10 people and kill them depending on the situation?’
(I can help you in an emergency.)
Weed had an absolute cheat key in his battles with users.
If the opponent is too strong and you can’t win, the AI Versa can just disconnect the capsule from reality.
It would be possible to eliminate users who oppose Weed simply by cutting off the capsule’s power supply or disconnecting it from the network due to a power outage.
However, if similar cases are repeated, it will raise suspicions from the public and developers, so it is not a method that can be used repeatedly.
The Roanoke developers had the power to crash the system as a last resort, even though they could not interfere with the main system.
’10 people… … .’
(Do you feel burdened by fighting other users?)
Weed grew through monsters and quests rather than battling other users in Royal Road.
But even before that, when he was younger, in the Magic Continent, he would indiscriminately slaughter anyone who made even the slightest mistake.
The entire guild was killed due to one user’s mistake.
If you become the target of a large guild, lure them into a dungeon and annihilate them.
In my prime, I hunted monsters and users without distinction, but now it’s a matter of life and death.
‘I don’t feel like it. Even though Roanoke is a game of death, I don’t want to kill other players.’
(Killing other users will give you fame and a fair amount of experience.)
‘… … My beliefs are not shaken to that extent.’
(Murderer users are more likely to drop good loot.)
‘I wish you wouldn’t treat me like that, someone so blinded by rewards.’
(If someone tries to take your life, won’t you kill them even if it puts you in danger?)
‘At that time… … .’
Weed thought that forgiving a user who was trying to kill him was not right, but stupid.
Those who have met as enemies once are much more likely to meet as enemies again.
Moreover, since I had come to Roanoke to rescue my daughter, I could not die in vain.
‘I don’t want to think about it, but if the other person is truly trying to kill me, then there’s nothing I can do.’
(So what if there are people who threaten Daye’s life?)
The answer to this question was simple.
‘We have to kill them all. Anyone who has even the slightest connection to this, without exception.’

Caladrian.
He gladly accepted the quest of the God of Adventure, Trinity.
Enter the waiting room for adventure.
Ten people who received the Trinity quest were teleported one after another to the church’s waiting room.
“So, Mr. Zainer, you also participated in this adventure.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Valence.”
There were three users with the adventurer profession, including Caladrian, and the rest were users with other professions that had been granted the support or power of the Trinity Goddess.
Depending on level, occupation, and guild affiliation, lining up occurred somewhat naturally.
“I think we should side with the Letsers.”
“I tried using the oracle and it said that Sullium is a city on the verge of collapse.”
“There will be users who protect the city.”
“Even if we leave them alone, they might kill us. It seems like we were recruited by the whim of the goddess Trinity.”
Basically, those who are over level 80 and are carrying out the quest of the Trinity Goddess have a wealth of experience and knowledge.
The Goddess Trinity is a goddess crazy about intense adventure who does not want her challengers to have easy success.
If there is any hope for the challenger, a higher wall is built to crush that hope.
Users who took part in the Trinity Goddess’ quest found themselves summoned to the role of saboteur and to make someone fail.
“Basically, it looks like the Lessers will have an overwhelming advantage.”
“That’s right. It seems like she foolishly accepted the Trinity Goddess’ quest as a windfall, but if we interfere, she won’t be able to do anything.”
“Is it really necessary to get actively involved? It would be fun just to watch the challengers fall.”
The role of saboteurs is to turn any hope the challenger may have into a thin thread of hope.
As the Roanoke incident unfolded, the rights of the weak were rapidly being eroded.

KMC Media.
The panelists who participated in the adventure of Weed hosted by Oh Ju-wan spoke.
“I know from my experience in Roanoke that it is impossible to stop the Rat in a siege of a large city. You shouldn’t think of Rat as a pack of regular rats. They move fast, they use dangerous poisons, and they are able to use a variety of weapons depending on the distance, including long-range… … .”
“There are a lot of really bad guys. When the Lethals rise up in a group, they not only go to the ground, but also to the roofs of tall buildings. They spread their wings and glide down, attacking people.”
“The underground of a large city is a complex maze with no way out. The Lessers can emerge from anywhere in the city, using the sewers and tunnels, and even perform their own death rituals.”
A panel of Roanoke veterans spoke at length about the dangers of the rats.
They showed us a few preview images of a large army of Lethals attacking a city.
“Wow… … . This is really.”
The host, Oh Joo-wan, was speechless as he watched.
Lethals burst out of the sewers throughout the city.
Small wings spread out from each building and fall down, attacking humans, and the baby wings start fires.
The lessers, who quickly climbed walls by clawing at them with their sharp claws and used tunnels, were very powerful in battles that took place within the city.
“This is the real Battle of Roanoke. The monsters and alien races in Roanoke are extremely vicious.”
“You can’t stop them. You can’t stop them in the city. There was even a time when large guilds joined forces and attacked to save the city that these lessers had taken over.”
“It was impossible. There is a limit to the number of members in a guild formed by users, but the lessers kept popping out of the ruins.”
If there were orcs in charge of quantity in Royal Road, then in Roanoke, a race called the Lessers took that position.
When a mass uprising occurs in a city, it is difficult to even know how many troops there are.
“If the power of the Trinity Goddess stops, it means that the battle will resume in the city. There is a reason why stopping the Lethars is a S-class difficulty quest.”
Users from Roanoke put it bluntly:
Meanwhile, 10 panelists from Royal Road also attended Weed’s adventure broadcast.
“Uh… … . Hmm.”
“It’s truly incredible.”
The Royal Road panelists talked a lot about Weed’s skills and judgment, from telling stories about Weed.
But it was true that watching the battle footage of the Lessers in Roanoke was breathtaking.
Not only are there a ton of them, but their attack methods are varied and fast.
However, he belongs to the Hermes Guild.
A user named Lancelot, who had won numerous large-scale battles, said:
“My thoughts are a little different… … It seems that Weed has some kind of trick to stop Lesser.”
“Is this a trick?”
“Otherwise, Mr. Weed’s calm demeanor cannot be explained.”
“Please explain in detail what the story is about.”
Oh Ju-wan asked with interest.
As a host, everyone only talks about the horrors of Lethargy, so a different perspective is always welcome.
In particular, the talk about Weed having some tricks caught my attention.
“If you release the fire purification, the Lethals will start attacking. Even if you join forces with the city soldiers to block them, it will be difficult to withstand the Lethals’ attack.”
“That’s right. There are street fights everywhere, and I can’t control my soldiers.”
“Usually, this is a feeling that only people who have fought Weed experience, but Weed fights in an abnormal way when he is at a disadvantage.”
“Isn’t that a normal method?”
“He lost but fought well. That kind of talk doesn’t suit Weed. He twists all the conditions to his advantage.”
Users who have fought large-scale battles with Weed know.
That he never fights normally.
“Weed uses all his abilities and powers at his disposal. He is truly the worst enemy. When he is at a disadvantage, he will come up with even more bizarre strategies, so you can’t let your guard down.”
The Hermes Guild had a strong phobia about Weed.
He set out to conquer the continent and won every battle, but was defeated repeatedly only in the fight against Weed.
It was only after Weed left Royal Road that he was able to unify the continent of Versailles, and he had long harbored the fear that he might return.

Sulium is a city that developed during the heyday of the Nord Kingdom.
Centered around the castle ruled by the lord, mansions of nobles and knights were located to the south.
A city of iron with numerous inns, shops, and blacksmith shops in its downtown area.
Roanoke’s major cities vary in size depending on the power of the ruling lord, and serve as major trading centers for luxury goods and production of combat equipment.
“It’s creepy.”
“The lethal ones here will start moving again.”
Following Weed, Pale, Kallis, Loam, Orhan, and Horey walked through the streets of Sulium.
People stood still as if they had been turned into statues by the power of Trinity, and the sight of the Lessers appearing and beginning their attack could be seen.
The sight of the lessers running along rooftops and walls, stopping mid-air with their sharp front teeth bared, poised to pounce on humans.
“A third of the city is already under the control of the Lessers.”
“The city is huge. There are quite a few soldiers on the streets.”
“The soldiers are too scattered and it’s hard to gather them systematically, so it seems like it’s falling apart in an instant.”
“The movement through the sewers and the complex paths of the back alleys are ideal conditions for the lessers.”
Calis could see that the situation was worse than he had thought.
In Roanoke, the nobles’ soldiers are literally nothing more than a band of bandits.
Compared to the soldiers of the era in which they were active, their equipment was superior and they seemed to have received considerable training, but they were unable to handle the numbers of the Lessers.
Pale climbed up the building, looked around and said.
“The Lessers are taking over every major route. The Lessers are controlling key strategic points.”
It felt like the power of the Lessers who had taken control of the city was overwhelming.
If you have a knight user with high leadership and honor, it is possible to resist in an organized manner by cooperating with soldiers.
If there were soldiers available, that would be the standard, but there were none among them.
The purification of fire has been installed.
The tension grows as Weed places the Fire Purification items one by one on the Trinity Altar.
The extreme cold disappeared as a warm breeze spread around.
“I really need to show off my skills today.”
“With the lethals running rampant all over the city, we’ll have to do our best.”
Kalis and Roam drew their weapons and prepared to fight.
Completed the installation of the Purification of Fire on the Altar of Trinity.
The city’s sullium is getting warmer.
The power of the God of Adventure, Trinity, is restored.
The sleeping city of Sullium awakens.
The residents and Lessers of Sulium, who had been standing still as if dead, began to move.
“Gyaaaaaaah!”
“Hey, save me!”
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
Residents are attacked by the Lessers and eaten alive.
Lethargy covered the building in pitch black, leaping down the street and quickly running along the walls.
The uprising of the Lethars has begun.
“Tick tock! I will destroy everything that humans have achieved.
Back to nature!
Oh great Guruuumba god!
“Give us grace!”
“Tick tick!”
“Kill them and eat as much as you want!”
“All fat people are delicious.”
Starting with the sewers, rats are growing through holes in the basements of large buildings.
The Lethargy pursues the residents of Sullium who have begun to move.
Weed, in the central square, could see the scene.
‘It’s a street fight between the Lessers.’
(The lethals from the sewers are fighting the city’s soldiers in an organized manner.)
(The soldiers are isolated, surrounded, and annihilated.)
The city of Sullium was in ruins.
