Volume 56 Chapter 8 - The End Of The Quest (Part 2)

The battle against Kracore waged on.

The monster was tenacious and putrid, but with each exchange, it lost more cells.

Whenever Weed attacked, it lost portions of its army and its main body, slowly weakening over time.

- Losing my body like this… It’s infuriating… Still, I cannot lose to the likes of you!

“You were pretty persistent. But it wasn’t good enough.”

In the extensive battle, he discovered Kracore’s weakness.

Fire, poison and divine power. Weed was able to slowly force the monster to confront him directly.

Weed was prepared every step of the way and with each sword attack, a part of Kracore’s cells burned away completely.

The dwarves, also backed away from the confrontation, scrambling for purchase on floor that was slippery from the stray cells of Kracore.

- Mortal Explosion!

In the brink of danger, the cells on the ground latched on and attempted to absorb him, forcing him to retaliate with his skills.

“Sandstorm of Ruins!”

The final skill of the desert warrior.

The room was spacious, having been the final boss room, but the skill was nevertheless extremely dangerous to use inside a dungeon.

“Everyone on defense!”

“Fall back!’

The dwarves raised their shields and huddled low. Their equipment was arranged with high magic resistance in preparation for the dragon.

Even so, the damage still inflicted that remained only barely tolerable.

The ground split apart and the sandstorm brewed.

With Kracore at the center, the storm swept the surroundings and knocked away the cell monsters.

“Sword of Regeneration!”

After the end of the storm, Weed activated the Sword of Regeneration and focused on defense and recovery with the dwarves.

< God Warrior Batali’s blessings are bestowed upon you.

20% of lost health points are recovered.

Health recovery is increased and you become immune to pain.

Armor penetration will be based on the damage inflicted on the enemy! >

God warrior Batali’s blessing applied when it became available.

Kracore gradually dried out over 10 hours of battle.

Weed reflected upon himself just as the battle came to an end.

‘There was a lack of attack power. Kracore’s physical defense was especially high. The dwarves didn’t get to commit fully… But I had no choice but to drag it out. We won this with the god’s blessings and equipment.’

If he had led a mage force against Kracore, the battle would have been swell.

Magical attacks would have froze and burned away the cells, dealing serious damage.

He did not get the chance to use necromancy, but he felt the need to learn more combat skills for a variety of situations.

‘In that aspect, it is true that the Hermes Guild is strong overall.’

In the fight against the dragon, the best of both the sword and magic were to be mobilized.

Excluding the dwarf warriors, there were a swarm of players who wished to participate and was likely not to be an elongated battle. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

‘If we fight with the dragon as long as we did here, there won’t be much left of Morata.’

At last, Weed gifted Kracore its eternal rest.

< Agoldia’s past overlord, Kracore has been vanquished.

You have gained a level.

Great combat achievement increased reputation by 5,230.

Charisma increased by 2.

Strength increased by 2.

Perseverance increased by 3. >

“Urgh. That was a tough fight.”

“Still, you are amazing, Weedhand!”

“I knew you had this.”

Weed tended to the dwarves after the fight.

The fight with Kracore’s monsters resulted in 15 casualties!

4 among the lost were drained by Kracore and lost health points and Strength.

“We have to treat the badly wounded first.”

Weed wrapped bandages with the other dwarves.

They were tough warriors and if they didn’t die at the end of battle, they survived in most cases.

Kracore left an ingredient for a rare potion that permanently increased maximum health points by 3,000.

There was no other loot, but that alone was sufficient!

He was able to recover the dwarven made equipment as well.

Blink!

<The Lightning Crown complete.

The secret storage of Agoldia created for future insurance has been recovered by the dwarves.

The heavily equipped dwarves will no longer fear Kaybern.>

< 15 dwarves died. Additional rewards are applied!

Maximum health points of all dwarves increased by 7%. >

Weed’s attention was fixated on the crown decorated with jewels.

It was behind Kracore which kept stealing his gaze in the midst of battle.

Finally, he obtained the Lightning Crown into his possession.

“Hoo… It is done. Identify!”

< Lightning Crown: Durability: 110/110. Defense: 79.>

The dwarves excavated the jewels of power, lightning and dominance from the deepest layers of the earth.

“This power is too risky for us to keep in our hands.”

“No, it gives us a chance to free ourselves from the dragon’s oppression.”

Long ago, the blacksmiths gathered the powers sealed inside the jewels and forged the crown.

“Now will we be able to confront Kaybern?”

“It’s not enough. We need the artifact of our kind, the Brazier of Sacrifice.”

“The brazier… is not within our reach.”

“Unfortunately, this crown must be kept away in secret until the day we find it.”

“Where do we hide it?”

“Deep underground.”

< You have recovered the Lightning Crown hidden away by the dwarves.

Requirement: Dwarves only.

Level 1,190. >

“This is just amazing.”

Weed’s time invested in recovering the crown was well worth it.

If it weren’t for the dwarves-only restriction, it would have been one of the best items to ever exist.

One of the dwarf warriors spoke.

“Weedhand. The warriors will be waiting for battle. You are worthy of leading us all. Binehand-nim, the respected elder has the flag of retaliation. Pay a visit.”

< Obtain the Flag of Retaliation!

Visit Binehand, the dwarf elder who has been waiting for a long time and find the flag with 67 mountain peaks.

All dwarves across the continent must be assembled for the fight against Kaybern.

Difficulty: Race Quest

Requirement: Dwarf.

Reward: Flag of Retaliation. >

“I understand.”

Weed accepted the quest lightheartedly. However, he was not interested in any more race quests. Simple quests he could complete, but he had to let go of time consuming quests.

Gathering the warriors from each village would take a great length of time.

- Mapan: Weed-nim, congratulations on the quest completion. I have confirmed the intel from Knatul and Malin.

“Where are they?”

- Mapan: First, Knatul is in the northern glacial region.

***

Weed exited the dwarf secret storage and used Yurin’s Paint Teleportation Skill. He travelled as far north as he could and rode on Wy-3 who was waiting for him.

“Let’s make haste.”

- Kuaaat. Where to?

“Just keep flying north. No thinking involved.

- What’s going on?

“You have to keep flying until you pass out. Don’t worry though. I need to use you for so much more. I won’t let you die.”

- Kuaaat!

Wy-3 fought against the cold winds and flew north like a bullet.

Then Wy-3 became exhausted and he had to transfer to Bingryong.

“Take good care of the dwarves for me.”

- Pale: Yes. I will wait for you at Morata.

The dwarves inside the secret storage were to be taken to Morata by the assault squad and the Mapan Council.

Once Weed arrived at the cold glacial region, the avian guides greeted him.

- Bodam : This way, Weed-nim!

A sparrow wearing a thick fur coat led the way.

They encountered an ice village of barbarians living on the white snow plains.

“We are here.”

Weed riding on Bingryong arrived at the sky of the barbarian village.

On the ground were the barbarians with spears looking surprised.

- The temperature is just right. I like this place.

Bingryong watched over the snow field pleasantly.

“I heard that the glacial storm brews in the east.”

- I wish to go. I like cold places.

“Take a trip once we are done. Cool your body off.”

- Thanks, master.

The weary barbarians had large halberds, hammers and throwing spears in their hands.

Weed slowly descended towards the village entrance with Bingryeong.

“Human! This place is prohibited.”

They were closed off against outsiders.

The barbarians were about to break out any moment, but soon the half-elf Vishur appeared on Wy-2 and they dropped their guard.

- Gwaat!

Wy-2, who brought Vishur, wore a fur coat but the coat was covered with fresh ice.

- Master. I’m about to pass away.

“I’m here. You won’t die in a place like this.”

Weed started a sizable campfire with holy fire. Wy-2 wobbled closer and warmed up.

“I’m the only one who cares for you, do you see?”

- Thanks. I thought I was dead for sure.

“The one who cares for you in your most difficult time is your lifesaver. Be good to me.”

- I got it. Gwaat.

Wy-2 rubbed against him as a show of affection.

Meanwhile, Vishur conversed with the barbarians.

“In accordance with our historic pact, we wish to combine our powers to face Kaybern.”

“The shackles of our tribe…”

“After we defeat Kaybern, I will help you no matter the sacrifice.”

“So be it.”

The 3 meter tall barbarian hero Knatul agreed to join forces.

The information on the fairy knight Malin was lacking, but the fairy world was small.
