Chapter 137 Sculpture

?Nathan stopped thinking about it and started to proceed with making the sculpture.

But before that, of course he needs to have necessary tools and materials to start working.

"Hmm, since I'm making a sculpture, what material should I use?" Nathan started thinking, "I know that there's an ice sculpture, it will look great to give something like that as a gift."

"But then, it will probably just melt so it's not ideal."

A couple of minutes later, Nathan finally made a decision.

"I'll just use wood, stone seems unappealing to me."

With the material decided, Nathan touched his chin and said,

"But of course, since it is a gift, the wood should also be something worthy."

Nathan entered his dimensional space and headed to the Miracle Tree.

"Hello!" He greeted,

Luckily, it seems like the tree is awake this time and spoke in his head.

[Hello, child.]

Hearing its voice inside his head, Nathan smiled.

"I'm glad that you're not asleep."

[Do you need something from me?]

"Yeah." Nathan said, "To be honest I was wondering if you would be able to give me a branch that I can use to sculpt something."

The Miracle Tree seems surprised by Nathan's words.

[Sculpture?]

After thinking for a while, the tree gave him a branch of its own.

[Here, with this thickness, you should be able to make a masterpiece with it, right?]

Nathan did not say any nonsense, gratefully received the branch and thanked the Miracle Tree.

"Thank you!"

At the same time, Nathan's eyes can't help but be attracted to the fruit hanging on one of the branches of the tree.

It was of course the fruit that was born out of those bodies he 'fed' the tree before.

He looked at the Miracle Tree and said, "I'll also be taking this now since it looks ripe."

When he said that, the fruit automatically fell into his hands and its aroma assaulted his nose.

Without saying anything, he ate the fruit and finished it in just a few bites.

Soon, a notification appeared in front of his eyes.

[Congratulations, you have obtained [Skill: Abyssal Shadow (B)].]

[Abyssal Shadow]

[Details: Summon the Abyssal Shadow to fight for you. Its strength will depend on the rank of the skill and the power of the user.]

[Effects: Summon an Abyssal Shadow that has 120% of the user's strength. Can last as long as the user is supplying its energy or when the user dismisses the summon.

Effect 2: Can summon 2 Abyssal Shadow. This will increase as the rank of the skill goes up.]

….

After reading the details of the skill, Nathan nodded in satisfaction.

"Oh! I wanted this skill when I saw that cultists use it before. I did not expect that I would actually get it after feeding those cultists' bodies to the Miracle Tree!" Nathan said,

After looking at it for a while, Nathan said goodbye to the tree and left the dimensional space.

Back in the backyard.

Nathan placed the half a meter long tree branch given by the Miracle Tree on the ground.

"Now, the only thing I lack is the tools!"

But before that, Nathan decided that turning into a sculpture now will be better to know what tools he needs.

And so, just like breathing, Nathan switched his profession to a sculpture with his thoughts.

In an instant, knowledge about being a sculpture poured into his head.

With his brain power, it was pretty easy for him to understand everything in it.

He let out a breath, "So being a sculpture isn't just about shaping the figure, huh."

Nathan turned his eyes back into the Miracle Tree's branch with a glimmer in his.

"This wood… it is the best material that a sculpture could possibly get!" He said,

At this time, Nathan is like a master of sculpting that has discovered a material that had never been seen before.

"No, I should not just be standing here. I need to turn this into a masterpiece as soon as possible!"

Without further ado, Nathan grabbed the wood and inspected it a few times.

"To make sure that there won't be any mistake with handling this material, I won't use any tools and just use my hands directly." Nathan suddenly said.

"With the strength of my hand, it is much better than any kind of tool that exists out there!"

Saying that, his face became serious as he held the tree branch in his hand.

After estimating an appropriate size for the figure model that he will be making, Nathan cut that off exactly 10 inches long.

Dropping the other half back into the ground, he took a deep breath and concentrated on this piece of wood.

Then, putting his strength into his fingers, he started pressing the wood causing it to sink.

While doing so, he tried to remember the appearance of Irish as well as her figure, transferring it into the wood.

Soon enough, the wooden branch before has now started to shape into a humanoid figure.

But Nathan did not stop his movements for one second.

30 minutes later.

Nathan stares at the life-like figure model that stands in front of him.

There was a fascinated look on his face as he said, "I made it, I made a masterpiece!"

The appearance of this figure is of course the person that Nathan is planning to gift it to, Irish!

After admiring it for a few minutes, only then did Nathan remove the sculpture profession.

Once he came back to normal, Nathan sweated at his change of behavior from earlier.

"What the heck? Why did I start acting like that?" He muttered with a dumbfounded look.

Putting that aside, he turned his gaze back at the sculpture again and can't help admiring it again.

"Uhuh, it really does look great." He said,

"Now I'll just buy a box on the way to the venue."

Nathan then put the wooden model into the storage with the other half of the branch it was made from.

"And with that, I'm now ready to go!"
