Taming Master

* * *

- Tyring!

- You discovered the world of the sun for the first time!

- 100,000 Reputation.

- Permanently increase ‘Amity’ stats by 15 percent!

- Permanently increases your Fire Resistance stat by 10!

- You have met one of the requirements to enter the 'Solar Obelisk’ dungeon!

- The Sun Elves are starting to appear on the continent.

Ian's vision reminded me of a lot of messages with a white light spilling out.

And Ian, who had checked them out, looked a little surprised.

"The number of worlds in the sun"? I thought Phoenix was just a big tree, but there's more to it than meets the eye. ’

From Obelisk of the Sun to Sun Elf.

The emergence of terms that had never been heard before meant the emergence of new content.

I just got an unexpected harvest from a quest I started to infiltrate the Kingdom of Elika.

But the largest of these yields was an increase in ‘affinity’, the earliest emerging reward.

To Ian, the summoner, one of the most important job stats has been rewarded.

“Khh!”

Elasticity flowed from Ian's mouth.

However, this elasticity did not only result from the increase in affinity stats.

If I found landscapes belonging to 'Mother Nature’ while traveling the continent, I often gave them friendly stats.

Then, why does Ian have ears in his mouth?

That was because the affinity reward was a percentage value, not a fixed figure.

‘Khh, that's crazy. How much friendliness have you had? ’

Ian was the number one ranking user among the existing summoners.

Moreover, because we have captured all kinds of content and swept through occupational stats to date, the affinity stats themselves were essentially enormous.

Prior to this reward, Ian's affinity stat was at 2,700, with the exception of the item's optional value.

Given that common ranker summoners have an affinity level of 1,500 to 2,000, this is a huge figure.

However, due to an unmatched reward, 15 percent of the friendliness went up.

Permanently.

‘4, 400? We found a tree, and now we're getting 400 friendlies? ’

To be precise, Ian's affinity score is 403.

Four or five Hidden Quests related to Amity have a certain amount of stats to be completed.

So, Ian could not stand the laughter of leaking truth.

“Hehe, thank you, Remus. ”

“What...? ”

“Anyway, there is such a thing. ”

“Hmm……. ”

And as Ian was thick, the light that had been pouring out of the world began to wane.

In Ian's field of view, the overall structure of the map came in.

‘Now the passageway is over, and this is an open-air colonial structure. ’

The structure that appeared before me was truly spectacular.

An unknown number of pillars extending to all sides and a huge tree rising magnificently in the middle.

Among the ‘Mother Nature’ that Ian had discovered, it was an impressive landscape.

And as all the light subsided, a new message appeared in Ian's vision.

- Tyring!

- I'm in the nephew Phoenix district.

- Phoenix found you.

- Phoenix shows you hostility.

Kiyoo-!

In a huge hall surrounded by numerous pillars, Phoenix's cry echoes out loud.

And when Ian heard the crying, he started preparing for the attack with a nervous look.

According to Remus, Phoenix was still young, but he was not relieved until he saw for himself.

And after a while, a huge flame erupts from the air.

Glug-ug-!

An intense, wide fire attack that has overwhelmed Ian's entire party.

It was a completely new kind of effect. As a result, Ian reactively triggered the Elkalix barrier.

“El, the Dragonic Barrier! ”

“Okay, Dad! ”

Weeing-!

As a white film was created around the whole party, Phoenix's flame flowed past, even as it coated its surface.

However, the barrier's durability has not been greatly diminished as compared to its effects.

‘At this rate, I think it's weaker than the fancy 300th level Fire Mage's general magic……. ’

Guess what level Phoenix has yet to reveal.

Shortly after, Phoenix appeared, and Ian was embarrassed.

-Phenix (Legendary): Lv. 95

“Excuse me?”

Ian, who thought he had been mistaken, once opened his eyes and looked over Phoenix's head again.

But Phoenix's level was exactly 95.

Ian, embarrassed, asks for Remus.

“Remus, was a god named Phoenix always such a monster? ”

Remus hesitates as he doesn't understand the words.

“What kind of monster are you talking about? ”

Ian said with a frustrated expression.

“The fire he just fired. You think that's what level 95 is capable of? ”

Remus nodded and replied, hearing Ian's words pouring out like rapid fire.

“Ah, I'm surprised you don't know this one well enough. ”

“ ……? ”

“That fire attack must have been powerful. It's hard to believe this was an attack by that young Phoenix. ”

“But?”

“Of course, Phoenix is extremely aggressive, but the power of the fire attack is actually due to the 'number of worlds in the sun’. ”

“The number of worlds in the sun...... That tree? ”

“Yes. The only tree Phoenix can nest in is the number of worlds in the sun. And inside the world's water supply, Phoenix is known to be twice as powerful. ”

“Ah……. ”

After hearing Remus' explanation, Ian nods.

‘There was a special reason. ’

However, given that it was twice the attack power, it was definitely a strong attack against a beast that was not 100 levels.

We'll know for sure after we've tasted him, but I thought maybe he's as powerful as Carseus, the aggressor.

Ian became more and more coveted.

‘Even if it's not to enter the castle, we have to capture him somehow. ’

It's been a long time since a summoner has emerged that stimulates Ian's appetite for tasting.

In places I never thought I'd be.

Ian rolled his mouth up and stared at the air.

And there, there was a beautiful bird looking down at Ian.

He reminds me of the Bonfire of Eastern mythology, with his whole body burning with fire.

He looks down at Ian's group, whether he notices that his attack didn't work.

‘If you want to take a chance, you'll have to reduce your life force a bit. ’

When capturing summoners in Kailan, the most important thing was to reduce the physical strength of the summoners you wanted to capture.

And by "health," we mean not just life.

Reducing your life force to its fullest means, of course, you have to drain it by harassing the long summoned number of times.

So, when the summoner is exhausted and unable to move, he catches them by tempting them with delicious dishes or special items that the summoner might like.

This is really the cornerstone of Taming.

There were some that could easily be captured in a special way depending on the number of summoned people, but "carrots and whips" was the eternal truth of Kailan Mango for any summoner.

Let's lose some strength, shall we? ’

It showed unexpected power, but his level was only two digits.

If any of Ian's group gets hit wrong, it's low enough for them to die in one shot.

Ian decided to act as carefully as possible.

If you kill someone by mistake, there is no greater waste.

“Lemus, give me some information about him. ”

“What kind of information? ”

“Like the buff from the number of worlds I just told you about, I want to know everything there is to know about him. ”

“Hmm……. ”

While Ian and Remus were talking, Phoenix attempted several attacks.

However, it was not enough to remove the Dragonic Barrier from Elkarix, and Ian was able to take time to listen to Remus' explanation.

“Let me tell you a little bit more about the World Water Buff. The effects of the Buff are not limited to attack power. ”

“Then?”

“Rather than attacking, it has a much greater impact on his survival. ”

Ian waits for Remus to speak, and Remus reaches out and points to something.

“See that red beam over there? ”

When asked by Remus, Ian's gaze was reflexively directed toward the place, where an unknown red aura was overflowing between Phoenix and the world's water.

“I see it. But what is that? ”

Remus continues.

“That's kind of like his lifeline. ”

“ ……? ”

“The great power of life, created by the water of the world, is shared through that rope. ”

“Hmm? So Phoenix gets to share the life force of the world? ”

“It's a little different. If the world's number of life is shared, it will be immortal. The number of worlds has infinite life force. ”

“Then what is it? ”

“Simply put, you can think of the world as giving some of its life to Phoenix and then continuing to fill it. I don't know if you can see it, but it's the red sphere that runs through the branches of the world's water. ”

Ian focuses his eyes on the red sphere floating inside the tree.

Then I found a little text floating on top of the sphere.

- HP: 5,000,000/5 ,000,000

Once he then confirmed it, Ian was able to fully understand Remus' explanation.

"So you're saying that only if you do enough damage to destroy that sphere of life will he die?" ’

And this made capturing Phoenix much easier.

When you attack him, you won't have to kill him by mistake.

Now all that was left was to continue eating the life force of Phoenix so long as it didn't burst.

“Good. Anything else? ”

Ian asked Remus with a eager expression.

And Remus gave me some more information.

“Phoenix turns into an egg of flame at the end of his life. And after a while, he wakes up from his egg. ”

“Oh, really? ”

This way you don't have to be more careful. Even if the orb of life explodes, he won't die by hitting it with all his bare hands.

Remus continues.

“But if you wake up to the egg of flame and crush it, it will vanish. And even if you wake up from an egg, if you die again before you regain all your strength, you will not become an egg of flame and perish. ”

“How do I know I have my powers back? ”

“You can tell that by the tail. If three tails are fully raised, it means they have regained all their power. ”

“Aha, I see. ”

In terms of the bold bones in the game, I had a rough idea what this description meant.

‘There must be a cooldown to the unique ability to resurrect Al. ’

And towards Ian, who organizes his thoughts, Remus adds a word.

“I don't know much about summoning, but I recommend turning him into an egg and capturing him. ”

“Hmm? Try to capture it in the egg state of fire? ”

“Yes. That's when his resistance was at its lowest. ”

“That's a good tip. ”

Remus' information contained much more than Ian expected.

And according to this information, the capture of Phoenix would be a lot easier than I thought.

“Okay, that's enough. Let's catch him quick. ”

It was Ian who smiled with a confident face.

Looking at Ian, Remus smiled and replied.

“I don't know, but it won't be easy, Ian. As far as I'm concerned, the summoner who succeeded in capturing Phoenix in the history of the continent. ”

Ian shakes his hand as if to not worry and rushes toward Phoenix.

It was because Ian, a very ‘timing master’, thought that this capture was not difficult at all.

But it didn't take long for me to realize that I was wrong.
