Taming Master

Ian sighed, inadvertently receiving two very large quests.

‘At least the remnants of the forgotten ancient monsters knew where to go...' Griffin, I can't even feel my hatchlings. ’

Either quest was not something you could do right now.

Ian decided to focus on the content of the Arena that was going to begin in a few days.

‘The Arena will be held in five days' time, but in the meantime, is there anything you can do besides level up? I want to get as high as possible... ’

It was true that Ian was now overwhelmingly powerful compared to users at the same level.

But I couldn't let my guard down.

It's a game that countless users play, so I didn't know what the variables would be.

For the first time ever, new jobs are on the bench of combat between users!

I couldn't predict the outcome if I didn't fight back.

Ian did not anticipate what he would achieve in the war.

“Let's go increase your new skills. ”

Ian now had an EXP of 0% at exactly 50 levels.

‘Only level 51, right? I'll increase my EXP by 99% at level 50, level up my new skills, build up my skill level... and hunt. ’

We used to rest for about five days, but Ian seemed to have a sickness with thorns in his butt if he wasn't hunting.

"Where should the hunting grounds be? ’

Ian considers the good hunting grounds close to Muran one by one.

And soon I remembered a good place.

"Ant Den...! That's right. The anthill was here, wasn't it? ’

The anthill was not a place where real ants lived.

It was a famous instant dungeon inhabited by giant monsters that resembled ants.

An instant dungeon was a type of dungeon in which no one could enter until a user or party was destroyed or left.

That's why in the case of popular instant dungeons, there were so many people who needed to make a reservation, but Ian's temper was not his favorite hunting ground.

But this anthill was different.

There were dozens of similar dungeons, both instant dungeons and called ant tunnels, so there was no waiting or waiting for people to gather.

Rather, the dungeon was always about 30% empty.

"Great. An ant's den would be a great place to practice your new skills. ’

The level of giant ants appearing in the anthill was a little below 50.

However, the population was enormous. In fact, users who hunt in ant dens were often above level 60.

A fairly dangerous dungeon where users in the rowdy 60s often die of loneliness.

But Ian, who had cleared the dungeon of chaos, was confident.

All right, let's go! ’

As Ian decided to head for the dungeon, a message arrived from Harin.

‘Hmm…? It's Haryn. "

Ian checks the message.

HG: Ian, what are you doing?]

[Ian: Oh, I was going hunting.]

HG: Yeah? Ian, you're level 50, right? Didn't you say you'd be joining the Lucky League if you opened the Arena last time?]

Since Ian and Harin often exchanged messages, Harin was quite aware of Ian's progress.

Ian: That's right. But you still have zero XP, so you can put it up to 99 percent.]

[Harin: Oh my….]

Harin lost her words for a moment because of Ian's obsession with level-up greed.

Harlene: I'm actually meeting a friend at school today.]

[Ian: School? Are you in school right now?]

HG: No, that's not it. It's near the school. I came to a cafe near the school to discuss my vacation with a friend.]

[Ian: Aha, I see...]

[Harin: Later, if you don't mind, I'd like to have a meal... What do you think?! Ian, you're in the area, aren't you?]

Ian pondered for a moment.

‘It's been a long time since I went out and had a meal... ’

In fact, if it weren't for situations where you couldn't raise it to more than 50 levels, you would have refused Harin's offer and gone hunting without even the slightest hint of worry.

However, this relaxation in Ian's life was extremely rare, so I was a little troubled.

‘But right now, I'd like to use my current growth skills.... ’

After all, Ian was more excited to hunt with a new skill than his dining out with Harin, and turned down her offer.

[Ian: Um... I'm sorry, Harren. Let's eat next time. It's a little vague for me to be out after all the hunting grounds.]

It was still a town, but Ian was lying without hesitation.

Ian mutters to himself, denying the stabbing heart.

‘It's a white lie to keep Haryn from being offended.... ’

HG: I see. Then give me a message when the hunt is over. Um... The game won't work, so I'll give you my number.]

I didn't know when the hunt was going to end, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to go out after it, but Ian wrote down Harin's number first.

‘Well... If we hunt and die, we'll leave. ’

It was because there was a penalty for being inaccessible for 24 hours after death.

But it was clear that he would never die in the anthill, so he almost never wanted to leave the house.

Ian finishes his conversation with Harin and hurries toward the anthill.

* * *

“Huh, that's a lot of money. ”

Ian enters the anthill dungeon, smiling at the giant ants clustered at least 10-15 units in front of him.

Luckily, the population was more likely to enter Dungeon 7 than other oysters.

“Khh.”

This was the place where Ian thought he could try his new skill, "Electric current growth."

‘The more I read your skills, the better I feel for hunting. ’

The current proliferation skill was a technique that created a sphere of current flowing in both hands and threw it at the enemy.

However, when a sphere is hit by an enemy, the sphere is divided into four parts, scattering to all sides, causing damage to the enemies of various subjects.

Compared to the extensive skills used by high-level wizards, the range and skill activation conditions were limited, but Ian now had an endless number of skills that could be fully utilized.

Ian summons all the new summoners, including his new ones, and is ready for battle.

“Come on, fuck it. Let's go in first, just like we used to. ”

Drug-

With Ian's command, the loaf slowly begins to move toward the giant ants.

Kung-Kung-

Due to the loud footsteps of the giant body, the attention of the ants was immediately drawn to the cake table.

Glug-ug-

The ants approached the bread table with a strange sound.

The cake cake lowers its fist downwards.

Boom!

As big as the name of the monster "Giant Ant," the ants are hideous.

However, it was small compared to the bread table, and its level was higher, so it did not shrink at all.

[Summoned Cake Cake has suffered 376 damage from the giant ant.]

[Summoned Cake Cake has been damaged by the giant ant 201.]

Immediately, several ants surrounded the bread table.

You were attacked by several quite well within a short time, but your total health now tickles at 20,000.

And Ian, who was waiting for that moment, gave the order.

“Fuck you, Ice Wave! ”

As soon as Ian's command fell, a white blizzard started to flash around the cake table.

Kuaang -!

[Twelve giant ants each took 298 damage.]

[Giant ants move 30 percent slower for 10 seconds.]

And without saying Ian's thoughts, Lai, who had become aware, immediately jumped towards the ants.

“Lai, the explosion! ”

Along with Ian's command, Rye using his lightning skills starts rampaging around the giant ants.

Although there were many, Rye had only faced far more powerful enemies, so he began slaughtering giant ants lower in level than himself with ease.

And Ian glanced at many.

Stink-

A lot of Ian and his eyes met and he resigned and used the skin massing skill.

Ian smiled and carried a lot of blood on his back.

Lots and lots of leather straps for carrying on my back.

It was time to test the newly acquired skill.

Ian activated his skill with a excited expression.

“Current proliferation…! ”

Together, a yellow sphere glowed yellow on Ian's hands.

Employed - Supported -

Can we throw it at the ants? ’

Ian swings his arms at the giant ant in the nearest position in front of him.

And the two spheres that left Ian's hand flew towards the front.

However, as Ian thought, giant ants did not welcome spheres easily.

"Oh, what's taking you so long? What a dipshit... Who gives a shit about this? ’

It was the same as Ian's.

The sphere Ian threw was not at a very slow speed, but it flew as fast as anyone could just see the projectile coming.

Peeing-

Ian's current proliferation skills eventually disappeared from the air without even attempting to proliferate because they didn't suit anyone.

‘Hehe, this is the only way to do it...? ’

Ian checks his spiritual power readings.

‘Luckily, the speed at which spiritual magic reappears is not slower than I thought. ’

Spirit Magic power was fully restored by the time the cooldown of current expansion was restored.

And Ian, who confirmed that the cooldown had ended, reactivated the current growth.

He rushed towards the giant ants with an electric sphere in both hands.

Ian's fist flew across the giant ant's abdomen with an electric sphere.

Pow-pow!

[You hit the 'Current Growth’ skill. And it did 1179 damage to the giant ant.]

Ian wanted the cooldown to be initialized with the ‘paralysis’ effect of the inner self, but, of course, a relatively low probability of 15% was not initially triggered.

But at that time, the chunks of currents that spread from Ian's hands rushed to all directions and began to damage the surrounding giant ants.

Job-supporting-!

[Expanded current deals 359 additional damage to giant ants.]

[Expanded current deals 317 additional damage to giant ants.]]

At that moment, four or five giant ants were harmed by current proliferation....

[Giant ant falls into paralysis.]]

[Movement of 'Giant Ant’ is slowed by 30% and deals 50% more damage against attacks with the 'Blitz’ attribute.]

[Resets the cooldown time for 'current expansion’.]

It reminded me of a system message in a row.

And as the waiting time for reuse was initialized, Ian felt an exhilarating sensation as more and more current spheres appeared in both hands.

Yeah, that's it! ’

Ian's current proliferation skills have also begun since then.
