Taming Master

- Tyring!

- You have entered the dungeon of Castle Elika.

- First dungeon ever discovered.

- For 24 hours from now, all experience gained in the dungeon will be doubled.

-Twenty-four hours from now, chances of getting items from Dungeon Bosses are increased by 100%.

- When you kill a specified enemy, you gain an extra 1000 percent XP. (Designated Enemy: Guard, Guard Commander, Dark Psychic, Puppet Remus)

The passage through the barrier was underneath the dark castle.

And seeing the ‘first discovery’ message that appeared before his eyes, Ian became satisfied.

The initial discovery also satisfied the basic doubling of experience, but I really liked the first content that appeared below.

‘I've never seen a bonus like this... Does being the designated enemy mean monsters related to the quest? ’

Basically, with twice the XP applied, 1,000 percent more XP was awarded, meaning twenty times more XP.

Even if you kill only one Guard, you can see the same effect as if you killed twenty at a time.

Of course, with this crazy bonus experience set, it won't be easy to kill many guards.

‘If you do well while clearing this dungeon, you'll get 400 levels. ’

Ian was caught up with the other rankers because there were so many experience points needed to reach level 400 at level 399.

I had to quickly take 400 levels and run away again.

And in this situation, the bonus experience was like honey.

‘Let's see, I don't think there are any monsters in this area...' ’

As the quest is a quest, Ian carefully looks around.

Then Remus, who followed behind him, opens his mouth in a low voice.

“Open the door to the left of the two doors at the end of the walkway. ”

“Got it."

“It was an empty room when I was king, but be careful, I don't know what happens now. ”

With Remus' warning, Ian nods and mutters to himself.

‘Of course it's full of monsters. Or is this the dungeon? ’

Ian arrives at the door, placing an order with Lugaryx before opening the door.

“Lugaryx, bring up the Dark Illusion. ”

“Got it, Ian. ”

There shouldn't be any problem with a common monster inside the door, but it's just a precaution in case the guards show up.

This is because in quests like these, a moment of carelessness often led to quest failures.

Whoo-hoo!

A dark energy emanates from Lugaryx's hands, and the group begins to envelop.

After a while, the entire group's bodies turn into shadows.

- The new dragon, Lugaryx, has triggered the Dark Illusion.

- All parties located within a 5 meter radius around 'Lugaryx’ will be Invisible.

-If you are not a powerful Black Wizard of Level (500) or higher, you cannot penetrate the Dark Illusion.

Dark Illusion was sometimes used strategically on the battlefield.

If you are confident that you have a higher level Black Wizard than the opposing team, there is no better magic to penetrate behind the opposing team.

although, of course, in siege wars where the Detecting Tower is everywhere, it's almost useless.

All right, let's slow it down. ’

Ian carefully approaches the iron gate, pulling at the door hook slowly.

Quee-!

Then, with a gross friction sound, the old iron door slowly opened.

Then Kaka, who was sitting on Ian's shoulder, broke through the slight opening and tried to scout.

It was to share my vision with Ian.

‘As expected, there are guards. ’

There are three guards in total from Kaka's sight.

But they weren't guarding anything.

I guess it was like he was sneaking out and resting while working.

Glug.

Ian enters the door perfectly concealed in the dark illusion, looking through the structure of the passageway.

‘The easiest way to sneak across the hall is to ignore them. ’

The level of the three guards is 440.

It was never a level to be seen, but it was a situation not to be trifled with.

If the guards scream or even one of them leaves this room, we'll have to fail the quest.

Suddenly, Ian rolls up one jaw, thinking about the dungeon's EXP reward.

‘Come to think of it, there's no way you can give me that crazy bonus experience. ’

The seduction of an immense bonus EXP of 20 times.

This was in turn a trap for the designers who wanted to make the quest difficulty even higher for themselves.

Even Ian is using the Dark Illusion right now, so he's reliving his appetite in a simple passage.

‘As expected, I can't just walk away from this. ’

Ian orders the summoners and Helheim, and he starts approaching the rear of the guards as loud as he can.

Then, embarrassed by his appearance, Remus pulls the corner of Ian's clothes with an urgent look.

“ ……! ”

The guard couldn't open his mouth because of the noise, but his expression was enough to tell how he was feeling.

In fact, from the position of Lemus, the subject of the quest, it was no wonder Ian couldn't understand him trying to mess with the guards.

Ian smiles, then lightly turns away from Remus' poor gaze.

‘Well, you just have to succeed in the quest. ’

As Ian placed the order, the Summoners' skills began to activate.

The beginning was El's magic.

“Silence!”

Magic, as its name implies, assists in the light attributes of the sub-tier to ‘silence’ enemies.

If it were normal, this Silence Magic would be a useless skill if you tried it on a guard.

The guards who swing their swords at each other were not penalized for falling into a state of ‘silence'.

In the beginning, the magic Silence itself was a skill used to counter magical wizard classes.

However, given the current situation, where you need to kill the guards without knowing the rats or birds, you also need to put Silence on the physical dealer's guards.

- The Summoner Elkalix has cast a Silence spell.

- He's done some damage to the Guards.

- Guards are silent.

At the same time, one of the most powerful debuff skills of the Black Wizard, the Soul Curse skill, was activated. ’

- The Dark New Dragon, Lugaryx, cast a Soul Curse spell.

- Magic resistance of 'Guards’ reduced by 85 percent.

- The physical resistance of 'Guards’ is reduced by 55 percent.

- The Guard reduces Dark Resistance by 90 percent.

Two debuff enchantments triggered almost simultaneously.

The guards howl, sitting on the floor. They wake up embarrassed.

But that was when the chain darkpulse, which is the unique power of Helheim, came to an end.

Shya-!

A scattered sound echoes through the air that cannot be adapted even if I hear it several times.

And as always, a huge, luminous sword falls from the place where dark energy sweeps by.

Boom-boom-boom!

Thunderous strikes that sound exactly three times at regular intervals.

Helheim's dark vision, activated in conjunction with the dark pulse, quickly erased the guards under a powerful dark curse.

“ ……! ”

One of the least harmed survivors attempted to escape, but it wasn't something Ian would just leave behind.

Aaaaahhhh!

Ian, who appeared behind him, cut him down with the judgment of the Spirit King.

Kung-!

A cheerful message appeared to Ian's vision after the guard collapsed helplessly while smoking the Sackhaman smoke.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated Elika's Guards!

- You have defeated the 'Designated Enemy’ and will receive an additional 1000 percent XP.

- 78,752,500 XP earned.

Ian gained nearly 80 million XP per person.

With an unbelievable amount of experience, Ian's jaws hang below his ears.

* * *

The underground structure of Elika is more complex than I thought.

The road was dizzy enough to think that it was designed for emergency evacuation and defence of the castle, or that it would have wandered around quite a bit without Remus' guidance.

And Ian realized what this structure was.

‘This must be the underground bunker in the options for expanding the castle. ’

Although he was rolling on the front line, Ian was also a ‘king’ of one country.

I was aware of most of the content related to expanding my castle.

‘I put it on hold because it was too expensive.... If the tax breaks next month, I'll set a budget. ’

As with normal castles, the castle of Elika was also a structure with a wide range of exotic resistance again.

And this underground bunker was a defensive facility that would have great effect when the outer ring was breached.

A defensive structure designed to attack enemies underground, preventing them from easily crossing between their siege and immunity.

If Ian hadn't gone through the quests that started in the dungeon, Lotus' forces would have had to break through this defence themselves.

Even if Lotus' armies were strong, encountering such defenses without information would have suffered considerable damage.

After some harvest, Ian began to concentrate again on the quest process as he passed underneath the castle.

Most of the monsters that appeared in the ‘Underground Uranus’ dungeon were not only vulnerable to the undead in the 300th level, but it was because of the rarely appearing guards.

Especially in the case of a 'Guard Commander’ where the level 450 had surpassed, he had to make every effort to defeat it.

Since the Guard Commander's combat class was close to the Tanker Knight, it was difficult to defeat them as quickly as when killing the guards.

Even if I applied Debufran Debuff to get rid of him as quickly as possible, I still needed to attack more than three times as much as I did when killing the guards.

Moreover, the Guard Commander was usually guarded by the guards, so it seemed ten times more difficult on the difficulty of defeating him.

Kuang -!

Ian grunts in a low voice, putting a spear in the guard's back.

“I hope this annoying guy doesn't show up. ”

Whereas it is much more difficult to deal with, the guard commander only has half the experience points of a normal guard.

Ian was naturally the enemy he wanted to avoid.

But apart from Ian's grumbling, the quest was going smoothly.

‘Okay, now that we've adjusted, the target speed seems to be accelerating. ’

It was a little lower than I expected, but I was also getting pretty good experience.

Even though the number of monsters was only half the normal dungeon, the amount of EXP buff was huge.

You think he's been poking around underneath the castle for an hour?

In front of Ian's group, moving along Lemus, a cracked high space emerges.

A tall stairwell that seems to lead to the King's Resistance, as well as the ground.

Ian asks for Remus.

“Can we go up these stairs? ”

Then Remus nods slowly, a moment later.

“Yes, you can take the stairs to the top. From here on out, this is the true inner part of the castle. ”

“I see.”

Ian, who answered briefly, began to move as loudly as he could.

But then, Remus shakes his head, blocking his way.

“Wait!”

“Hmm? Why is that? ”

“Just go up there and I'll turn into a hedgehog. ”

Ian frowns slightly and asks again.

“Is there a trap? ”

Remus nods and answers.

“Yes, there's a trachea installed in the stairwell. ”

Remus then stretched his finger to point to a large iron door on the other side of the stairwell.

“Inside that door, there's a maintenance room that can shut down the institution. ”

“Really? Then we should go in there. ”

Ian turns his steps toward the iron gate, which is not a big deal.

And at that moment, a new system message appeared before Ian's eyes.

- I feel a powerful dark energy.
