Taming Master

< (1). Dragon Ground -3 >

“The drakes here don't look like the ones I used to know... ”

The Dragon's Land was vast.

That is to say, we cannot reach the Dragon's Altar immediately because we have arrived.

That's why Ian had to spend nearly half a day moving through the field.

And Ian's opponents, who are fighting, are drakes that are over 350 levels.

Carseus replies briefly.

“The dragon earth is not named after its master for nothing. This is a land blessed by dragons, and the drakes that have accumulated their power are creatures that can become dragons by being enlightened. ”

“I see. It seemed like a different level of intelligence. Some of the skills used showed some magical damage. ”

Drake is a ferocious beast.

Their physical combat abilities were comparable to those of dragons, and even though they were not as powerful as the Dragon Bread, Bress was also quite powerful.

But there was an inexhaustible difference between the dragon and the drake, which was magic and intelligence.

In addition to the unique abilities that can be used as a body, a dragon knows how to use simple magic skills. Moreover, the dragon's scale is so powerful that it can't even perform a fuzzy attack spell.

But Drake was different.

The physical defense was as powerful as the dragon, but the magic defense was terrible.

That is why the most preferred hunting ground for the Wizard class was Mount Cropia.

This was a hunting ground for some of the most high-level monsters in the northern continent, where a lot of Drakes appeared.

Ian had never been there, but he knew about it.

It was because I heard from him the other day when he was carrying out Oakley's quest on the Northern Continent.

Croatian sulphuric acid, the home of Oakley, the legendary Dragon Tamer.

Boom-boom-boom!

Ian struggles to get rid of the drake in front of his eyes, then mutters as he wipes the sweat off his brow.

‘This is probably the place where more Drakes appear than Mount Cropia…. ’

For Ian, where the most aggressive force is focused on physical attack, this hunting ground is not a good place for a swarm of powerful drakes.

As a result, Ian was able to move faster, abandoning his appetite for hunting.

“You think that's the Dragon's Altar, Kaka? ”

Kaka nods favorably, contrasting the map with Ian's words.

“You've come to the right place, master. Now we have to find a way inside. ”

In Kaka's words, Ian thought for a moment.

“Besides this dangerous method... I wonder if I can offer one of my possessions to the Dragon Altar and get the female owner in return?" ”

At Ian's words, Kakar shakes his head without hesitation.

“It is impossible, my lord. I don't think I haven't thought about it... but I think we're just going to expose ourselves to Yongsin without any performance. ”

“Hmm... I have a lot of rare items in my Inventory... But Yongsun likes these things, don't he? ”

This time, Carseus replied.

“No, Master. Many of the owner's possessions may be of interest to Yongsin. ”

“But?”

“But nothing seems to be worth a woman's worth to a dragon. It is not a conjecture and it is almost certain. ”

Obviously, the mistress was a dream for every dragon.

Because the moment the dragon gets it, his personality itself rises to a level.

Ian nodded and replied.

“I'm sure it will. Good. I came here for a breakthrough from the beginning... But I can't be weak here. ”

Ian turns his head toward Kaka.

“Kaka, I need reconnaissance. ”

Kaka nods and answers.

“Leave it to me. ”

Caca smiles and starts flying into the air toward the dragon's altar.

Ian and Carseius began to follow him, as Kaká seemed to be small enough.

In addition to the Light Attribute attack, Kaka is immune to all attacks, making her the best scout.

* * *

The dragon's altar rises very high.

It looks like a tower that rises from under a blunt cliff and extends so high that you can't see the end.

And Ian could think of an architectural similarity.

‘The spire I went to for Hun's Imperial Quest... It looks like the place where the Imperial Soul slept. ’

With that in mind, Ian could have guessed that the dragon's altar would also have a tall floorboard with white floors or more.

‘And if you keep stirring like that... you'll be stopped before you can even get ahold of her. ’

Ian asks for Carseus.

“Carseus. Do you happen to know of a warehouse inside the altar that holds all the real things?" ”

Carseus considers for a moment and opens his mouth.

“I don't even know that. But... I can guess it's the lowest level. ”

“Hmm? Why? ”

“The dragon's altar consists of 77 floors in total. And on the top floor, 77th floor, there's a magic circle of Yongsin coming down. And on the ground floor, we know that there's a level door through somewhere. ”

Ian asked with a curious expression.

“What does having a dimensional door have to do with the location of the warehouse? ”

Kaka interrupts.

“Perhaps the Guardians of Mercy are guarding that level of door. And close to where the Guardians are, there's a good chance there's a storage unit with treasure stashed away. ”

Definitely reasonable reasoning.

Ian's gaze shifted towards Carseus, and Carseus nodded.

“Exactly. As expected, the Karga Phantoms have a bright brain. ”

Caca, who received the praise of Carseus, gave a cheerful look, and Ian who saw it gave her a finjan.

“Don't flatter him too much, Carseus. If you keep doing that, you're gonna think you're a genius. ”

That's what Kaka said.

“What do you mean, master? I'm a genius. ”

“Shut up.”

Ian dismissed Kaká's remarks as an unfair expression, and called Finn, who was sitting in the corner trimming his feathers.

“Finn, come here. ”

Cuck--?

Finn flew right in front of Ian, and Ian dismissed all the remaining summoners except for Carseus.

Kaka asks for Ian.

“What are you going to do, master? ”

Ian glances at the entrance to the altar and asks Carseus.

“Maybe if we go through that entrance... we'll get to about 40 floors, won't we, Carseus? ”

At this moment, Ian's group stands atop a peeling cliff.

And the tower that rises in front of them, it rises from the base of the cliff, all the way up to the top, and the entrance to the altar is built halfway up.

The entrance was connected by a cliff where Ian stood and an elongated long-grain bridge, and that was where Ian pointed.

That's why Ian assumed it was about 40 floors when he entered the entrance.

Carseus nods and answers.

“Maybe so. Given how low the floor below looks, it could be 50 floors. ”

Ian smiles and climbs on Finn's back.

“Carseus, Kaka. Hop in. If you go in there and break through, you won't even see the Maiden Shadow. ”

Ian was going to fly on a pin and immediately enter the lowest level of the tower, and Carseus and Kaka immediately understood.

Carseus told Ian.

“Good plan, master. But there is one problem. ”

“What?”

Karseus points his hand at the bottom of a carved cliff and explains.

“Do you see that stream of water swirling around the lowest level of the tower down there? ”

Ian nods.

“Then again, yes. What's that?”

Carseus replies.

“The seal of the Water Dragon. Right now, our abilities are gonna mislead us, and we're gonna get sucked in there and we're gonna be trapped. ”

“Hmm…. ”

Ian rubs his chin, and Carseus replies.

“It is impossible to pass through that barrier. I think we should try to get down to about 10 floors. ”

Ian nods.

“Could be nothing. That's what we're gonna do. ”

Ian's group takes a ride on Finn's back without hesitation, and Ian begins to manipulate the pin skillfully.

Finn flies quickly and slowly begins to circle down around the tower.

The cliffs were so tall that their heads were shrunk.

And as the whirlpool approaches, Ian finds a uniquely shaped spear on the outskirts of the tower.

It looked like the entrance of a dungeon, and it was the only window the body of a pin could fit in.

Ian hesitated for a moment.

‘Isn't that like a door you left open to someone? Something feels awkward... ’

But there was no time to hesitate.

Beneath Finn's feet, an evil whirlpool presses Ian.

Ian points to the place and commands Finn.

“Finn, get us down in there. ”

Glug-ug-glug!

Finn flies open, digging inside the building, and the group is able to successfully enter the tower.

At that moment, I remembered an unexpected system message in front of Ian's eyes.

Tyring -

[You entered the Dragon Altar Dungeon (Time Attack Dungeon).]

[You discovered the Dragon Altar dungeon for the first time.]

[When you clear a dungeon, you get double all rewards except for item rewards. (The First Discovery Buff applies to users who clear the dungeon for the first time, regardless of the number of Dungeon Tries or time elapsed.)]

[Time Remaining - (00: 19: 59)]

[Dungeon Difficulty - SSSS]

[Destroy the dimensional barrier at the lowest level of the Dragon Interval within the time limit, then open the Dimensional Gate to clear the dungeon.]

[If you do not clear the dungeon within the time limit, the spirit of the dragon will descend and the challenger will die.]

Ian became confused.

What the hell is this? ’

Ian was not the first to experience a time attack dungeon.

However, the appearance of the time attack dungeon itself was a very unexpected timing, and the dungeon clearance conditions were also outside the expected range.

Plus, I've never heard of it. It's called QuadraS. It's crazy.

‘This doesn't feel right... ’

Ian was embarrassed.

If we do this, we will die if we don't clear this unknown dungeon.

Rather than a penalty for death, time without restraint was the biggest problem, and there was no guarantee that a woman could be found in this dungeon.

Ian quickly made his decision.

‘We have to go back out. ’

Ian grabs the pin and turns around.

However, Ian's entrance was blocked.

“Damn it.”

Ian clenches his fist.

Once this happened, we had no choice but to pass through this time attack dungeon.

Carseus speaks to Ian.

“Master, we must leave this place quickly. ”

“Hmm…? ”

In front of Ian's eyes, there were two passageways on both sides.

The left was the way down, and the right was the way up to the top.

Carseus points to the right and says:

“I can feel the power of a powerful dragon over there. ”

“The power of dragons? ”

“Looks like the guardians of the dragon have spotted our intrusion. ”

“Ugh…. ”

Ian seemed to know what was going on.

‘Before they catch me, the goal of this time Attack Dungeon is to quickly break through to the lowest level and break the barrier into another dimension. ’

We have about 19 minutes left.

Ian saw that he had spent a minute doing nothing and immediately started running towards the left corridor.

“Let's move, Finn, Carseus! ”

“Understood, Master. ”

Cough, cough!

Ian's head turned quickly.

This means we have to get through here through Carseus and Finn Bay, right? ’

Ian originally intended to sneak into the dragon's altar and stall until he could summon the other summoners.

However, due to the sudden launch of the Time Attack Dungeon, the plan became obsolete.

Ian chews his lips by touching the spear.

‘It's been a really long time since I've had a bad black screen. ’
