Chapter 641: 641
V56C5P3 – The Decision For The Continent
[NOTE ] Thanks to the proofreading team: Armada, Seviper9 & Younhacomet!
Weed soon realized that Geomchi’s advice was boundless .
< Critical Strike! >
< You crushed Kalamu’s head . >
< Critical… >
< Critical… >
– The best sword technique? I don’t know . As I aged, no one could defend against swings guided naturally by my will .
When Weed heard this from Geomchi the first time he was taught the sword, he understood it as if he could win against any opponent without trying .
‘It wasn’t what I thought . Truly my heart guides me . This is a boundless sword technique in its entirety . ’
There was no specific form to this sword technique .
Certainly experience and skill was its foundation, but the user would unconsciously feel the righteous path of the sword .
Tuned to the enemy, the most optimal attack appeared naturally .
100% of attack and 100% of defense: it was the perfected form of the sword .
A presence that transcended the idea of driving one’s physical limitations .
‘Well, I just did it . ’
Weed’s sword began to show its power, rapidly cutting down on the Kalamus .
He raised Strength through Sculptural Destruction and stormed away .
“Sword of Regeneration!”
He even activated the secret sword technique meant to defend himself and the dwarves . Even after he broke through the Kalamus, he searched relentlessly for items .
< Armory >
< Large Armory >
< Warrior items >
< Long-range weapons >
< Consumable >
< Treasure >
< Blacksmith ingredients >
“Everyone equip yourselves with better gear . ”
Weed consistently swapped their gear for more advanced items .
His unimaginable generosity had a back story .
‘I will exploit them right down to their marrows . ’
It was to keep as many of them alive for the battle against Kaybern .
“Huugh . I feel like dying . I need to rest for just a bit…”
The dwarven warriors began falling apart after having been overworked .
They were deployed to battle without reprieve, exhausting even the healthiest dwarves .
“You all can do it . Think of our kin that are suffering at this moment . ”
“Kaybern exploits us, yes . But, most dwarves are doing just fine in their respective villages . ”
“Pride! Do you not all bear pride after being born as a dwarf?”
Weed was blinded by the dwarven made equipment .
He poked away at their pride and continued his exploit .
‘I just need to keep them alive . I can cure their wounds and illnesses later . ’
The touch of the evil, exploitative commander had reached even the world of the dwarves!
Weed emptied out the dwarven special storages down to just one remaining location .
Whilst clearing the dungeon, he gathered clues and already knew about the final boss .
< Kracore the Storage Keeper
It is a monster with a gigantic body composed of special cells . It was the ruler of Woodgorn in the past .
After it was pushed from its throne by the demonic beast Baharant, it grew in power in order to take revenge .
It is extremely intelligent and spews sickening acid in all directions .
It also utilizes its own cells to commit modified attacks .
Caution!
It can grab hold of nearby foes and absorb them .
Physical damage is mitigated by 95% .
It possesses near immunity to fire magic but is considerably weak to cold . >
10 forbidden locations .
The final boss that defends the secret storage of the dwarven race!
Brockhand who was under Weed’s exploitation shivered as he spoke .
“You know too, yes? Kracore is an absolute danger for us all . ”
“How come?”

“Dwarves absorbed by that thing number in the hundreds . ”
“Absorbed?”
“They become a part of his body . I thought it was hiding somewhere in Agoldia, but for it to be here of all places . Weedhand, let’s fall back . ”
“I cannot turn away after all this way . ”
“Even if we do not loot Kracore’s equipment, it will be enough for us to confront the dragon . You don’t need to overdo it . ”
Those words did not convince Weed even the slightest .
‘They spoke like bold dwarves, but they have so many things to be afraid of . ’
He couldn’t just leave without the dwarven equipment, especially not equipment of the best quality .
“I’m going to fight . ”
“Alright . Then let us rest plenty before opening the door . ”
“We will just have gear inspection and go inside . ”
“Damn it!”
It was when he took the dwarves to the armory where the final boss waited .
– Mapan: Weed-nim! Urgent news . Landony’s lair has been breached!
“Seriously?”
Even Weed stopped in his tracks .
– Mapan: There is incredible news from the adventurers who explored the lair . It is related to both Kaybern and Landony .
“Could it be… Is Cletta the demon king involved too?”
– Mapan: Unfortunately, you are right . It says there was a conspiracy behind the dragons’ movement . Since I only heard a brief explanation, it’d be best for you to watch the video yourself . In 5 minutes, the adventurer Dedron-nim’s footage will be released through KMC Media .
Weed gave the dwarves time to rest and took out the crystal ball .
He practiced sewing as he waited and soon enough KMC Media began their broadcast .
– We are interrupting the regular broadcast to inform everyone of important news . The adventurers exploring the Ring of Fire have entered Landony’s lair .
Joowan Oh, the exclusive anchor of KMC Media was the conveyor of this news .
Just moments before they were live streaming Weed’s dungeon hunting with the dwarves .
– Firstly, we will show you a short clip of the adventurers’ footage .
The scene of the adventurers climbing the Great Volcano and passing through the lava cave was edited into a simple clip . Parts of the footage were not clear but it was evident that they were entering with their lives on the line .
A lot of time was consumed in advancing through the monsters of the lava floor .
Three adventurers survived until the very end .

Even though they arrived inside the lair, they couldn’t take the piles of treasure and head back .
“Let’s find something at least . ”
“Yeah . As bad as this situation is… It would be nice if I can find some skills that I can pick up right away . ”
The adventurers attained the adventure achievement called ‘Lair Breach . ’
“Be careful of the traps . ”
“We got this far, so let’s not die in vain . We don’t know if we’ll get another chance of coming back to this place . ”
What they discovered was surprisingly Landony’s old diary .
It was a record of the dragon and it contained an incredible secret .
– Kaybern and I learned how to fly from the great demon butler Zepent-nim .
– The food that the demons bring us is reallyreal delicious . They are kind and take good care of us .
– The demons are very wise and virtuous . Humans and dragons have a certain prejudice against demons, but they aren’t true . It is perhaps because they are jealous of demons .
– I learned dark magic . They are incredible spells . The most destructive! Far greater than fire magic .
In the diary were stories of young Kaybern and Landony .
They weren’t raised by dragons, but demons .
– The king of demons, Cletta is said to be a benevolent individual .
– It is a shame that I cannot meet him . Useless humans, elves, dwarves and their sealing stones . If all of them disappear, Clettnim could reign…
– Demons are so nice . They left . Is there a way I could bring them back?
– Sealing stones . If I can destroy the sealing stones…
– It must not end with just destroying the stone . I need to drench the continent with as much blood as possible . Then Clettnim can appear with his powers whole .
– The more deaths, the more powerful Clettnim will be .
The records in the diary were fragments but it wasn’t difficult to deduce the context .
“The demons were involved in the reason for Kaybern and Landony’s hostility towards humans . ”
If he proceeded with the savior or race quest he would have discovered the same truth .
The adventurers’ discovery of the diary answered the mysteries . But, the solution was yet to be found .
Dragons were beings that could not be persuaded by words .
They were classic examples of stuck-up boomers!
‘In the savior quest there was an option since the beginning to bribe . Though there was no chance of success . If I tell the dragons they were deceived by the demons, would the war end? Never . ’
The dwarf race quest urged the players to bet the fate of the entire race on the battle against Kaybern .

There was no choice but to overcome the two dragons with power .
– Additional information has been uncovered about the sealing stones . The Great Library of Morata is said to have words about the sealing stones . Up until now we did not understand what they meant, but we do now .
The broadcast screen shifted to the Great Library of Morata .
A man in a traveller’s outfit showed the stone with engravings .
– Humans preserved their sealing stone somewhere inside the city that erected their civilization .
– The sealing stone of the elves is inside the World Tree .
– No one knows who seized the Orcs’ sealing stone . It will be extremely difficult to find . It might even be quicker to just kill all the orcs instead .
Kaybern will destroy cities . Landony is searching for something among the orcs .
The sealing stones explained the movement of the dragons .
– Mapan: I will begin an investigation about the sealing stone .
“Please make it quick . ”
– Mapan: But chances are that Weed-nim’s adventure might be related to the sealing stone .
“There may be an answer at the end of the savior quest . However, it’s overburdening to carry it out along with the Orc race quest… I guess we will leave it up to luck .
– Mapan: What would happen if all the sealing stones are destroyed?
“Then the Versaille Continent will be nearing its doom . If demons spawn on top of all this, there is no way out . ”
– Mapan: So many cities have been destroyed already . Perhaps that day isn’t far .
A long time had passed since the initial rampage of the dragons .
If the demon king were to be freed, it would be a disaster .
– Mapan: The worst day imaginable may be unleashed .
“The best method is to hunt the dragon but…”
Weed’s brain was quickly at work .
As a savior as well as the emperor of the Arpen empire he had to determine the right protocol .
Completing quests to gather weapons, armor, trusty allies and skills was ultimately necessary for taking down Kaybern .
‘Morata will be destroyed . What if we gather all our strengths now and fight the dragon?’
