Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (58)

Frozen ground.

KMC Media’s broadcast of the battle with the Lessers in the city of Sullium achieved a viewership rating of over 10%.

It was a rare high viewership rating in these days when various media outlets are active.

Weed is back

Weed, who makes legends in level 6 of the infernal difficulty

A battle where even undead creatures appear

The unification of Royal Road was not a miracle

The moment the articles are pouring out.

In the KMC Media studio, the panelists with blank expressions were the talk of the town.

The panel of Roanoke users couldn’t believe it when they saw the Lessers being held back like that.

“Mr. Jeong-hu, you said that there is no compatibility with Letser.”

“That… … does exist. The rats did eat the skeletons though.”

“Ms. Yuhwa said that the sit-in protest in the central square was a mass suicide.”

“I said this without knowing anything about the magic called Dark Rule. It is a defensively vulnerable area, and honestly, I never thought they would use the residents as scapegoats.”

Although Oh Joo-wan threw sharp words at the panelists, he couldn’t help it if he wanted to reflect the viewers’ reactions.

Even though he said he could never win, Weed won.

A battle that is doomed to be lost. It is better to abandon the residents early.

You guys are so dumb lol

Is this mirror therapy? I remember myself saying that I would never be able to do it whenever Weed did a quest in Royal Road.

When the sculptural creatures were born in large numbers, it was really fun. Will the sculptor boom come again?

No, I won by summoning the undead.

This is also possible because Weed has returned after 20 years.

I think Roanoke users will be as surprised as we are.

The users in Roanoke don’t even know what’s going on anyway. Only we, the viewers, see it.

After looking at the viewers’ opinions, Oh Ju-wan turned his attention to users from Royal Road.

They had strangely flushed faces.

Those from the Hermes Guild are the best of the best.

They were martial artists to the core, and for a long time, it was difficult for them to accept the fact that they had lost to Weed.

“Weed is a sculptor. Did we lose to a sculptor?”

“He’s not a pure sculptor. He’s a character without any foundation.”

“There are even rumors that some people are dark gamers who started playing Royal Road to make money.”

“I’m a dark gamer. I eat rice.”

“Rice food?”

“It’s called a rice-eating bug, and it means buying rice to eat with games.”

The Hermes Guild, which had conquered the central continent, was completely sacked by the rice-eating bugs.

Even after completely conquering the continent of Versailles, the trauma didn’t go away, but now that I’ve seen the video, I understand.

“You deserve to lose to Weed.”

“How do you win an adventure where you have to pinch your fingers and toes?”

“I’ve cleared the difficulty level of Hell and even completed the S-rank difficulty quest.”

“Even if it’s just rice, you have to admit that.”

I was able to accept defeat in Royal Road.

The mood in the studio shifted towards analyzing Weed’s battle.

“Dark Rule has been classified as a hero-level skill. Is that right, Balkan Demoph from Royal Road? It was a skill used by an NPC.”

“The panelist from Roanoke said:

Skills created by those who cannot surpass humans are classified as hero-level skills.

“Dark Rule seems to be strong enough to be classified as a hero-level skill. It can be a good strategy to raise all the corpses in the area as undead. However, the advantages and disadvantages are clear. Since it does not directly summon undead, the corpses mostly rise as low-level skeletons. If there were fewer Lethars and their level was higher, the skeletons would have been pushed back.”

The Lethals fought aggressively with low health, but lost many lives instead of destroying the skeletons.

“It seems to be the best magic to use against Lessers, but the downside is that it may be less effective against human users at the current level of Weed or against groups of strong monsters.”

Other panelists also got the floor to speak.

“There are only a few situations in Roanoke where you can raise a large number of undead. No amount of skeletons can deal with powerful monsters above level 150.”

“Dark rules can seem very powerful depending on the situation, but on the other hand, they can be useless depending on the situation. It’s not that Roanoke users haven’t learned them, but there’s a reason they haven’t learned them.”

“The fact that the Lessers were weak to the cold was also a reason for their victory. I’m sure Weed had good intentions.”

“Weed’s victory was achieved at the cost of the lives of the citizens. It was a victory that could not have been won if the city’s citizens had not been turned into undead in large numbers.”

The Roanoke panelists had no reason to praise Weed.

As the panel continued to speak, Lancelot, who was a member of the Hermes Guild, took the microphone and spoke.

“I don’t sympathize with the criticisms of Roanoke residents that Weed is making scapegoats of the residents.”

It was a statement that caught the attention of the host, Oh Joo-wan.

“It appears that the footage shows that the residents were massacred by the Lethals in the central square. Why do you think that?”

The viewers’ reaction was similar to Oh Joo-wan’s.

Weed did force the villagers into a dangerous place to turn them into undead.

A lot of the residents have turned into undead?

He is indeed a scapegoat.

Tens of thousands of people died next to Weed, so why isn’t this the case?

Lancelot said, looking at the users from Roanoke.

“I have a lot to say right now, but first, you said it was the right decision to guard the castle, right?”

“you’re right.”

Croc.

A user who reached level 80 in Roanoke gave a short but confident answer.

“If Weed had guarded the castle, how many of the Sullium residents would have survived?”

“uh…….”

Croc was embarrassed and found it difficult to answer.

The gates of the lord’s castle were closed, and knights and soldiers were seen attacking the approaching villagers.

Even if the defense was successful, it was likely that only those in the castle would have survived.

Most of the city’s inhabitants would have been defenseless against the Lessers and would not have been able to survive.

“Yeongju Castle is quite a large place. If we had defended it there, wouldn’t we have been able to save over 1,000 people?”

“It would be 1,000 people, consisting of nobles, knights, and soldiers. In comparison, Weed saved at least 10,000 of the residents gathered in the central square.”

“… … .”

“The results prove it all. Do you still think that Weed has made the residents into scapegoats?”

No one could refute Lancelot’s statement.

It resulted in saving many lives for the residents.

Even if the battle had been fought elsewhere in the city of Sullium, more civilians would not have been saved.

“We gathered the residents in the central square, and although there were inevitable casualties, we were able to save as many residents as possible. War is all about results. Weed was the same in Royal Road. He pursued extreme efficiency without unnecessary losses or deaths.”

The studio became quiet.

Lancelot continued speaking, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

“I agree that Dark Rule is not an invincible magic. There are many higher level magics in Roanoke, including the Abyssal Mirror that Weed learned. However, I want to remind you that Weed is currently creating a character on Inferno difficulty. Is there anyone among you who is confident that they can complete such a quest while creating a character?”

While the panelists were speechless, viewers’ chatter was going wild.

I thought it was natural to guard the castle, but that’s not the way to save the residents.

You saved a lot. More than I expected.

Fighting the cold and the wraiths… … and saving a city on the verge of destruction? This is Weed.

I did this.

* * *

After the battle, Weed spread his massive undead army throughout the city.

“Find any Lethargy that might be alive and kill them.”

The skeletons scattered, their bones rattling.

It was not a given that the actions would be taken to make the city’s waterways safer in the future.

I want to collect even the experience points of a single Lether who might be hiding in the sewers or buildings.

“Anyway, it’s a mess.”

In a short period of time, the city of Sullium was devastated by the Lessers.

The rattlers dig up the ground and knock down pillars, causing buildings to tilt and collapse.

The buildings hit by Bingryong’s Ice Breath were shattered into pieces as the ice melted.

-Kuuuuuuu!

The places where King Hydra and Death Worm passed were also left with only the remains of buildings.

The uprising and battle of the Lessers had destroyed more than 70% of the city of Sullium.

‘Still, there were a lot of residents living there.’

The current population of the city of Sullium is 11,633.

Despite many residents being turned into undead and eaten by the lessers, quite a few survived.

‘After all, human survival ability is… … .’

I saved the villagers while doing Trinity’s quest, but their gaze was not friendly.

“Uuuuu, Necromancer… … .”

“That necromancer turned my parents into undead. Skeletons! My parents are suffering in the abyss.”

“You deserve to suffer in hell forever.”

The inhabitants of Sullium looked fearful and tried not to make eye contact with Weed.

Although it did save them, it instilled extreme fear in them.

(The adventurer users gave up the quest and withdrew.)

‘There was no fight with them. If they had joined the war, there would have been more things to worry about.’

(It seems that they felt threatened by the unexpectedly large scale of the battle due to the presence of fragmented creatures and undead.)

(But they will make the Master’s presence known to the users of Roanoke.)

(Hellfire Stage 5. Although the Master was ranked first in the contribution of the Benhasmer Duchy, only a few people were able to guess the Master’s appearance. If famous users saw the Master in person, it would be inevitable for the large guilds and rankers to know about it.)

Adventurer users who only saw the cold of the frozen land and returned.

Weed didn’t fight the users this time, but he thought that day would come someday.

As your power grows stronger, the forces that can restrain you will also grow stronger.

(There will be many forces in Roanoke who would consider you their trophy.)

(Powers that rule by force and fear are on the rise.)

Weed did not necessarily think that ruling by fear was necessarily a bad thing.

As I live my life, I come to realize that there are so many people in the world.

Those who think about their own safety in a crisis are rather ordinary.

There were those who constantly complained and grumbled, created unfounded anxiety, sold out their colleagues, and got in the way of achieving their goals.

Sometimes fear can be effective in forcibly dragging such people out.

‘The problem is when fear becomes too much, or when the entire force turns evil and threatens the peace of Roanoke.’

Weed figured that he might have to make a decision about the forces in Roanoke at some point.

You have gained experience.

Level up.

The message window kept ringing, although not as much as when the undead were being spread out and the attacks of the Lessers were being massively blocked.

Somewhere in the city, isolated Rets are killed by skeletons searching for them.

The lessers, unable to move due to the cold, lost their lives without leaving behind any experience or loot.

You brought about the purification of fire and saved the lives of the inhabitants.

The God of Adventure, Trinity, is pleased with the quest you have accomplished.

“You have overcome adversity and saved the city of Sullium.”

Gain a lot of experience points.

Level up.

Level up.

Level up.

… … .

Despite the considerable rewards, it wasn’t as good as when I cleared Hell difficulty.

The level went up by 7 at once, but it was still at a low level because I was creating fragments of life forms.

‘The God of Adventure is a bit salty.’

(In Hell difficulty, there are also many rewards for combat achievements.)

(Even those who pass the Nightmare difficulty level will be respected by nobles, royalty, and gods, so the rewards for completing the Hell difficulty level will be very large.)

And there were also special changes in the city’s Sullium.

The power of the Goddess of Adventure, Trinity, is granted to the settlement Sulium.

A teleportation gate is created from the settlement Sulium to the continent.

The profession that can use the teleportation gate is limited to ‘Adventurer’.

Weed uses undead and sculpted creatures to complete quests, and is reminded of Royal Road.

‘Royal Road was great, but I never thought I’d end up in Roanoke at this age.’

Roanoke to save his daughter.

The time I spent happily with Seo-yoon after getting married was too short.

When I quit Royal Road, I wanted to live a life for my family.

I felt like I would continue to grow and pursue higher goals, so I boldly let go and lived a life for my family.

Ultimately, he was fighting a battle in Roanoke to survive and save his daughter.

(I am always there for you, Master.)
