A test to pass Valley of Courage in the middle of the night without any outside help!It was the valley the children of the Lekiye tribe ascended when partaking in the coming of age ceremony.Weed didn’t think deeply and simply accepted.“I will prove I possess courage.”As long as he didn’t want to give up the quest, he had no choice but to continue forward.The Valley of Courage!Weed walked quickly under the dark night sky.The sound of the trees rustling in the wind was frightening, and it felt like something would jump out at any minute.A situation and place perfect for a test of courage. Without mistake, it was an actual place where courage was being tested.Unnecessary thoughts would make the heart stiffen and contract.If one is caught in fear, even footsteps became scary, and will be surprised by shadows. It would get more and more terrifying until one could no longer take another step.The Valley of Courage was such a place.Because the space of the passage in the narrow valley was only 50 cm wide, it created an illusion anything could jump out from between the bushes or trees. It was a place ceaselessly stimulated fearful thoughts, and made one’s resolve crumble!It would actually be a relief if a monster or ghost really appeared, however the place was only stimulating pure terror.Walking in the dark, the path looked like it could lead to anywhere. Anxiety and panic-causing Valley of Courage.Like a chant, Weed memorized something. “Spinach 2,500 won (~$2.50), sesame leaf 1,000 won (~$1), eggs 1,700 won (~$1.70), sausages 4,000 won (~$4).”Calculation for a week worth’s of expenditure!Since it was dark and quiet, it was excellent for mentally organizing his household accounts.“We’re out of olive oil. I collected the coupon, so I should buy it the next time I go to the mart. The mart next door was holding an event for kitchen supplies… I must buy rubber gloves in a pretty pink color.”Calculating his shopping list. The part Weed loathed the most made its appearance. This time was the most difficult and painful.“This month’s total expenditures have risen to 8,000 won more than last month. It was because of the transaction on the 24th. Damn the rising prices! It was because the gas price rose.”Simply by thinking about the date, he could recall the sum he’d used during day. He could even list the fluctuations in price from last month and the month before last.Savings, savings, savings.Even so, the household expenses absolutely wouldn’t decrease!The biggest worries of housewives were difficult for Weed too. “House expenses: once it increases, it never decreases again.”The desperate battle against the household expenses. Having a large income didn’t necessarily mean having money saved up. Thorough management along with limiting impulsive spending was necessary.“I shouldn’t have bought the expensive salt from the supermarket that one time… I needed to live frugally.” He was assailed with bitter regret.By gathering small sums, it will eventually become a large amount of money.As he was thinking about the household expenses, he soon exited the Valley of Courage.Weed’s face was haggard and filled with horror.Ding!You have passed the Valley of Courage.You have passed the Valley of Courage in the shortest time.You have passed the ceremony much faster than young men of the Lekiye tribe. Willpower stat has formed. Willpower : Increases concentration. No matter how chaotic your surroundings are, your skill success rate rises and failure rate of magic decreases.Damage in melee range has increased.Warriors, Adventurers, and Magicians will admire those with outstanding Willpower.Speeds up growth of Fighting Spirit. Points can not be distributed into the stat and it will increase by itself based on character’s actions. You have earned the title ‘The Courageous.’Fame has increased by 200.Courage has increased by 80.Fighting spirit has increased by 10.Leadership has increased by 5.The Chief and Warriors of the Lekiye tribe were waiting at the exit; after seeing Weed coming out of the valley, they ran to him.With rings dangling on his nose, the chief outstretched his arms.“Brother has passed the test. In accordance with the alliance, let us assault the Embinyu Church.”“WHOAAA!” The Warriors shook their spears and cheered.The drunken Smith came close and patted Weed’s shoulder knowingly.“Seems like the Valley of Courage was extremely difficult.”Weed replied feebly, “It was truly horrible.”“At least it’s all over now. Take it as a valuable experience.”“I have to suffer it every month.”“The Chief said the ghosts of the Lekiye tribe within the Valley of Courage are truly terrifying, but what do they look like?”Weed shook his head. “I did not see ghosts.”Household expenses were much more frightening than ghosts.Between the trees and behind his back, the ghosts moved stealthily. They weren’t obvious, but you could feel something was there! Weed had been so immersed in mentally organizing his household accounts that he’d walked right past them without noticing.Ding!Alliance of the Deliverers.The Lekiye tribe who hunts in the River of Lamentation has joined.The negotiator’s fame has increased by 200.Charm has increased by 60.* * *The alliance of the second tribe taken care of, Weed headed towards the direction of the third tribe.The pursuers caught up quickly and had set up camp on the plains and were waiting.Without breaking through the Dark Knights and the Embinyu Church forces, it would be difficult to go to where the third village was located.“Bingryong, Phoenixes! Get rid of them!”“Got it, Master.”The fight between Bingryong, the Phoenix Brothers and the pursuers took place. Weed just watched them with folded arms.The reason he made and granted life to sculptures based on aerial monsters was because aerial monsters had a high survival rate.“They can’t be compared to land monsters.”Land monsters could perish quickly if they were surrounded and received concentrated attacks. However, a flying creature couldn’t be hunted easily without a Magician or Archer squad.Later, he had to prepare a balance so he could afford both aerial and land creatures. But so far, he mostly had aerial monsters centering around Bingryong.The Embinyu Church’s pursuers were having hard time thanks to Bingryong and the Phoenixes.The highlight of the Phoenixes’ power!“Fire Blaster!”When the Magicians used offensive magic, the Phoenixes flew enthusiastically.“It’s mine!”“I saw it first.”“I’m going to eat it first.”As if they were competing, they ate the fire magic with greedy gulps.The ability to absorb fire to replenish Health and Mana!They also spewed flames as they flew low over the flaming ground.As the trees burned and the flames spread, the Phoenixes demonstrated nearly infinite Health and attack power.One must use Holy Magic, Spiritual Magic, or Mana Drain skills in order to deal with the Phoenixes. Or bombard them with Ice magic. Otherwise, there was no way to defeat the Five Phoenix Brothers!The Phoenixes flew to the ground and flapped their flame wings or spewed fire in front of the Knights.
“ROOOAAAAAAAAR”
They were doing far more damage than Bingryong’s ruthless attacks. Bingryong went around with his massive weight, picking out the Priests and crushing them.
The force of the Embinyu Church’s pursuers crumbled to at least half in an instant.
This is the power of the sculptures!
A thought of mass producing Phoenixes grazed past Weed’s mind.
“I should make about 30 Phoenixes… then they probably wouldn’t disappear and die.”
With 30 Phoenixes, it would very well be a fiery hell!
With the characteristic of gaining strength from fire, he thought there would be almost no reason to lose Health!
If it wasn’t winter or a rainy day, they wouldn’t receive much effect from the environment either. While utilizing the most out of the fire characteristic, Bingryong couldn’t compare in flanking capability.
However, sculptures have sensitive personality.
They were quite severely opposed to sculptures looking similar to themselves. What’s worse was, they showed attitudes of wanting to fight each other.
The higher the Art stat, sculptures granted life were stronger, so the personality demands and egos became greater.
Due to the limitations of Weed’s Leadership and Charisma, it was tough to handle over 10 of the same kind of sculpture.
“Yellowy, let’s go!”
MOOOOOOOO!
Weed and Yellowy took care of the remaining forces together.
With each pursuer team, Yellowy, Bingryong and the Phoenix Brothers gained 2-3 levels each, and collected plenty of japtem and weapons.
