The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor Chapter 609

V55C3P3 – Undeniable Danger

'This doesn't feel right . We did clear it easily, but it doesn't mean that this place is safe . It's too arrogant for us to assume that it's safe inside a dragon's lair . It's not like I am aware of everything in this area . This feeling, it could only mean…'

Weed's senses were giving out a critical warning .

The back of his head was itching like he was about to get struck!

“Pale-nim . ”

– Pale: Yes .

“What's your position?”

– Pale: I am assisting with the transport in the mine . There's a ton of treasure .

After the draconic warriors' patrol, the assault squad users were helping with the transport .

They were relaxed in the thought that there would be no battles for a while .

“All members of the assault squad, meet me back in the lair . ”

– Pale: Copy .

Weed trusted his instinct and recalled the assault squad .

'I hope that I'm wrong about this… But, it's better to be prepared . '

It was only about 2 minutes after he called the assault squad .

“Hyung! The dragon soldiers are swarming in!”

Nide shouted .

As he was watching the lair entrance, fully equipped dragon soldiers came charging into his view . Small lizard-like mages followed as well .

“Everyone prepare for battle! There are already over 200 enemy troops and those are just the ones in view!!”

Weed pulled out the Loa Sword and sighed deeply .

“Damn it, why are the bad hunches never wrong?! Really, you think you're going to win the lottery, but you never do . ”

The dragon soldiers saw the reflections of the dwarves on the surface of the treasures and had gone back to get reinforcements .

“The enemy is coming in!”

Weed used his Lion's Roar .

– 1st and 3rd dwarf group, continue transporting the treasure . The rest will run over to the lair entrance and prevent their advance . You can make all the noise you want now, so please move as quickly as you can!

Weed never forgot the reason for coming to the lair!

“Follow Weed-nim's command!”

The dwarves laid down the treasure and drew their weapons .

The 1st and 3rd group were comprised of level 450 and higher .

Even the worst of them were well equipped with good shields and over half of them were warriors with exceptional defense .

Weed and the dwarves charged to the lair entrance .

“Everyone act calmly . We just have to block them at the entrance . It's simply a change of plans from a robbery to a raid!”

The Arpen Empire conquered the Central Continent, naturally gaining control over the ocean .

“We sure took the right side . ”

“Yeah, the best one in fact . ”

“Back when we were headed for Jigolaths, I thought we were doomed for good…”

Hye, Fractal and Board mir .

The three crazy sharks of Becky nin smirked every time they reminisced about the past .

They were villains that did not care about what other people say about them .

There was a time when they committed petty theft and felt proud; they had moved up in the world since then .

Things had ended up working out for them due to their diligence of misdeeds and their encounter with Weed .

Becky nin's 3 mad sharks watched Weed and gained a new perspective on evil .

“We will take over the world too through being pirates . ”

“Yeah . We are past our fun with petty crime . ”

“Let's grow our ambitions . The seas will be ours from now on . ”

The Arpen Empire's pirates . If they could exercise dominance over them, they could seize the seas .

Though they cannot overtake the continent, if they could seize the ocean of this world the power at their control would be tremendous!

“Let's charge toll fees on the ocean . ”

“Yes . That is a great idea . ”

The maritime control of the Arpen Empire encompassed the entire continent .

There was still the Haven territory of the Hermes Guild, but ever since the Gripis command ship was sunk, they barely roamed the littoral seas .

The Rosenheim Kingdom and Brent Kingdom in the east were nations that were ruined completely by the Embinyu Cult .

Even if the Arpen Empire did not officially conquer them, the users of both kingdoms were already abiding in the empire and crossing the ocean was not an issue .

“What if Weed-nim says something about us charging a toll fee?”

“Are you saying he's going to punish us?”

“Yeah . There is nothing to worry about except for the Arpen Empire… There is no navy in Arpen but Weed is a problem by himself . ”

For the 3 mad sharks of Becky nin, still had to face the final boss named Weed!

They could not let up because they were on the ocean . He could ride on flying barraggs and burn down their entire fleet .

“We just have to use bribery . ”

“Bribery?”

“Yup . Half of the earnings should be enough . ”

“Then it's settled . ”

“Of course! Villains are supposed to bribe the higher-ups . It's called mutual aid . ”

“Is it the tight bond that Weed-nim always talks about?”

Bekinin's 3 crazy sharks announced their control of the oceans .

– All users heading out to sea must turn over 1 gold each! If you wish to avoid the wrath of us pirates that is . Har-har-har!

They claimed dominance over the sea!

Merchants from that day on began paying toll fees to the pirate union .

Seoyoon used the collection to develop the ports and provided funds to unoccupied islands and new sea route findings .

She also made an official request to Becky nin's 3 mad sharks and the pirates .

– Seoyoon: I appreciate you guys for your consistent hard work . Please continue to tend to the users .

In some ways, she had more power than Weed .

The pirates bowed their heads to Seoyoon's whisper .

“Of course . We will keep to the ocean . ”

“Leave it to us . Please have faith in us . We will not let you down . ”

The pirates made a promise and kept to their word .

Securing the sea was a given, as well as protecting the sea routes and saving users from sea monsters .

“When there is no space for luggage, it's great that the pirate ships load them for us . ”

“They even repair broken sails . ”

“Pirates are knowledgeable about the geography in new sea routes . They inform you about the locations of sea monsters that must be avoided . ”

The pirate users that grew up together with Port Varna since its pioneer days thought of the Northern merchants and adventurers as their own kind .

They wore pirate caps and sailed the seas on pirate ships with skull flags .

– Kill all the intruders!

– How dare the lowly dwarves enter the lair . Murder them all!

– Chop them up! Rip them to shreds!

The draconic warriors blurted foul words as they approached .

They weren't common soldiers, but the elites defending the lair!

Weed led the dwarves and stood against them .

“Let's defend the entrance . We have to stop them from entering the lair . ”

The dwarves were already wearing the metal armor that they carried in their backpacks .

For the robbery, heavy armor was not worn because it slowed them down, but for battles speed was not so necessary .

“Hoo-hah! I came to this place expecting to die . My comrades are too good . ”

“Let's hold . I think we can do this . We got nothing to worry about if Kaybern isn't here . ”

The dwarves did get frightened when they were discovered, but they were high-level veteran warriors . The warriors fought at the frontlines and were therefore brave and fearless .

They had faith in the other dwarves they had known each other since their youths .

The draconic warriors clashed with the dwarves in a straight line .

“Die, intruders!”

“You will not be forgiven for intruding into Kaybern-nim's haven . You all are already dead . ”

The dwarves put up their shields and withheld the attacks .

The dwarves over level 400 had a great amount of endurance and were not easy to take down .

*Clang-clash!*

The retaliation of swinging axes and spears struck against the skins of the dragon soldiers .

“Keep to the defense line and do not get pushed back!”

“Hold this position . ”

The dragon soldiers defending the lair were higher in level than usual, but the dwarves chose to maintain close formation despite the impact and fended against the attack .

Weed stepped forward and struck down on the ground with the Loa Sword .

“Lava River!”

The earth split apart and crimson lava engulfed the draconic warriors .

“Screek!”

The immediate damage was incredible, but it also pushed back the enemy lines .

“Krrak . Keep pushing even if it costs your life!”

“We must defend Kaybern-nim's treasures . ”

The draconic warriors forced their way through the Lava River . They rushed forward even as their bodies began to burn . The dwarves formed 3 layers of defense formation and put forth their shields to defend .

Some of the assault squad led by Pale arrived just a moment after .

“Weed-nim . We have arrived . We'll jump right into the battle . ”

“Those of you that are capable of ranged support, please snipe the dragon soldiers . Leave the ones with large weapons as they will get in the way of one another, but we have to prioritize the boss-level monsters first . ”

Weed quickly analyzed the dragon soldier swarm .

There were approximately 200 of them, and around 40 were deemed to be boss-level!

There were especially stronger monsters or ones with special abilities that could emit fire, lightning and ice auras .

He assessed that it was advantageous to eliminate them first .

“Understood!”

The assault squad split up into smaller groups according to Weed's command .

The melee combat classes charged forward and the rest were led by Pale .

Wherever Pale's fire arrow flew, the magic and arrow ranged attacks were focused .

Dwarves were formidable, but this group was the top elite of the Arpen Empire, each over level 500!

'I will do my fair share . '

'Won't I be rewarded for doing something at least?'

The users went a little insane with dry mouths after passing by all the treasures in the lair .

Only with some accomplishment could they proudly take some equipment, so they bet their lives on this defense .

The concentrated attacks killed off 7 boss-level monsters .

Over on the side with the rest of the draconic warriors, the dwarves and the assault squad combined forces and led to an intense battle .

They did not dominate over the dragon soldiers, nor were they pushed back easily with their impeccable defense .

“Kreeeak! Kaybern-nim will unleash his wrath upon you . ”

“Be it human or dwarf, leave none alive . Kill them!”

More draconic warriors were streaming to the lair entrance .

< You are under the influence of Bademix, Commander of the draconic warriors .

Unparalleled fear grasps you .

Maximum health points are decreased .

Higher chances of falling into a state of confusion and fear .

Higher damage received by attacks . >

“What is this?”

The dwarves panicked .

A monster three times bigger than other draconic warriors appeared at the lair entrance .

Massive weapons like axes and spears were strung on its back .

They managed to take down the boss-level draconic warriors, but they were inside a dangerous place, the dragon's lair!

A true boss monster had arrived .

“You have entered this place without permission!”

Bademix swung his halberd, a combination of an axe and spear toward the other draconic warriors . It blew away everything in his way, leaving him a clear path that ran right up to the dwarves .

“Plague Strike!”

Each time it swung its halberd, the defending dwarves went flung back several dozen meters . Blue smoke covered their bodies and drained away their health points each second .

'This is bad . '

Weed's instinct was warning him .

Bademix was considered the boss of boss-level monsters, an extremely dangerous being .

If the dwarves could cooperate and fight, they could hold for now . But, it was a problem that several other monsters like Bademix could show up .

All monsters and draconic warriors under Kaybern's command will be headed this way . '
