Taming Master

The secret passageway underneath Palacio Castle that was designed to ‘explode’ in the original scenario.

The reason this secret passageway was about to explode is simple.

The existence of the secret passageway was in fact a Cheat.

As the final content of the episode, Palcazio Castle was built with numerous veterans and defense systems, as more than half of them became powerless as soon as they crossed this secret passageway.

On the contrary, what do we think of the situation where the explosion of the secret passageway itself is nullified?

“Game on. Damn……. ”

Najchan grabbed a cup of tea that had been boiled and muttered in a bitter voice.

He was genuinely cheering for Ian, but I had no idea he would find such an ingenious way.

“In the best possible direction. ”

Najchan saw Ian evading the users of Mahjong in a overlapping way, and thought he might be able to escape this trap.

Nevertheless, it was not like this.

I didn't think I could stop the secret passageway from collapsing.

This may not seem like a big difference, but it was in fact a huge difference.

If Ian had stopped his escape from the dungeon, he would have to retake Castle Falcazio from the outskirts, but the collapse of the secret passageway led to his entry into the Resistance.

“Now all that's left... Only one Rich King? ”

Of course, even before reaching the Rich King, there are powerful mid-level bosses lined up behind 400 levels.

But when Ian and Shakran's expedition were defeated and turned against them, the painting was never drawn.

The expedition that has entered the Resistance will literally break through to the core, and you will probably meet with the Reaching before today.

“I think I'll take a nap. If you turn it back on in about five hours, you'll be meeting with the Rich King. ”

Beep.

After turning off the TV with the remote control, Nazi snatches his yawn and goes into the room.

The sleep I had put off to watch Ian's crisis, now I think I can go find it.

* * *

Ian and the expedition users who successfully controlled the exploding crystals of darkness quickly broke through to the end of the secret passageway.

It was also due to the rise of the expedition's users, but for more important reasons.

The monsters at the back of the dungeon were mostly high-level Horse Stragglers, who were debuffed by 30 percent of their combat abilities when Chaos Gate was destroyed.

I could say that the word "telephone consolation" is exactly the right situation.

“Wow, this is a total bonus stage. ”

“Can one debuff make me this weak? ”

“I don't know the exact coefficient, but I think I've nudged at least 40 percent of them. ”

Since eating the debuff didn't even debuff the drop reward, the users were excited and began sweeping the monsters away.

On average, the expedition's users faced monsters with abilities as early as 300 levels, and it was literally a slaughter site.

And of course, the two most prominent users of the rowdy expedition were Ian and Shakran.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the ‘Wounded Magical Gladiator' monster!

- EXP +79,809,312!

- You have successfully defeated the ‘Cripple Kimcos’ monster!

- Get 82,887,981 XP!

Ian swung the Spirit King's judgment without rest and slaughtered the monsters in his path.

But even in this incredibly perfect situation, Ian had regrets of speech.

‘Damn, if I had more time, I'd wipe it all out...' ’

The 'underground passageway to Falcazio’ was the first dungeon that Ian and his expedition entered.

That meant that the Dungeon First Discovery Buff was hanging.

It overlaps with these bonus stages, making it an ideal hunting ground for each grab and run.

not only in terms of experience, but in terms of rewards.

But now Ian had no time to be angry.

It was because I didn't know what a minute and a second of hunting would bring back to me.

Though a clever strategy was able to successfully overcome the traps and reduce the amount of time it took, it didn't give me much time until I had caught the Rich King and completed the quest.

Ian relentlessly lowers his order and focuses solely on quickly piercing the dungeon.

“Seylon, Muran, continue to cover Shakran's rear, and one dealer, concentrate your fire on the center! ”

And of course there were users like Emily who were questioning Ian's orders.

“Ian, why don't we do some maintenance and just take it slow and get through each one? You're too weak to eat monster debuff anyway. ”

However, Ian rolled his hair and handled it wisely.

“No, I can't let my guard down yet. This dungeon, it could be another trap. ”

“Ha, ha. It could be. ”

“It's a bit of a waste of experience, but I think it's best to get out of this ominous dungeon as soon as possible. ”

“Okay, that makes sense. Let's do that. ”

Ian clears out the second half of the dungeon by quickly running his troops, even Emily, who has a healthy head.

And it's been, what, an hour?

- Tyring!

- You have successfully cleared the ‘Secret passageway underground' dungeon!

- You destroyed the remnants of the Horsemen Stragglers beneath the Palazzio Castle!

- 97,890,989 XP!

Win 200,000 Reputation!

The expedition's users finally hear a message announcing the completion of the dungeon.

“Yay, you did it! ”

“It's been a long dungeon. ”

“Khh, if it wasn't for Ian, you'd be watching TV with your game off and your fingers sucking. ”

A voice echoes from the expedition's users.

“Good job, kid. I can't help but admit it today. ”

Even Shakran, who had great pride, paid his respects to Ian.

“Phew, you're welcome. ”

But Ian hasn't forgotten to stir up Shakran a bit in the meantime.

Until we defeat the Rich King, Shakran will have to pick out the highest level of ability he can show you.

“Now that I've shown you this much, you know what? ”

And Shakran followed Ian's lead well.

“Hehe, don't worry, kid. I'll show you the power of the Titan Guild from now on. ”

Ian smiles satisfactorily at the advice of Shakran.

‘Let's just try a little harder. When I get the Hidden Dual or whatever, I'll give you some Congo. ’

Expedition users check the rewards for a moment, check the status, and have a loud rumble.

But the commotion didn't last very long.

Less than a minute after the Dungeon Clear message came to mind, a strange sound started coming from the huge iron gate that was blocking the end of the dungeon.

Peek-a-boo, pee-a-boo!

The friction between the rusted irons makes me uncomfortable to hear.

But it didn't sound as bad as Ian did.

It was because the iron door began to open slowly with that strange sound.

Kugu - Kung -!

And through the crack in the open iron door, a white light began to pour in.

The landscape of the castle with the white snow in front of Ian's eyes.

‘Enough...! ’

Finally made it to the resistance of Falcazio.

* * *

A weird-shaped fortress that rises high.

A dark place in the deepest part of it.

In the center of a space with a floor floor so high that the ceiling could not be seen, was a large throne that looked about three times the size of a typical.

And the master of the throne was the King of the Dead, Rich King Charleon.

“Well done, son of the devil. ”

“Thank you, Charleon. I did my best. ”

Sitting on the throne of great silence, Rich King Sharian talks to one horse on one knee before him.

Naturally, he was a limbo that escaped the secret passageway through the portal of darkness.

But the funny thing was that Charleon and Lim Long thought the expedition users were wiped out.

“You must have done something, right? ”

“Yes, King of the Dead. I made sure the dark crystals were inflated. ”

“Klael, I'm sure it is. The Dark Crystal isn't something only Humans can stop. ”

Satisfied, Charleon raises his shoulders with a distinctive, sharp laugh.

And the reason they were convinced the expedition users were dead was simple.

It was because the quest Lim Long received from Charleon also reminded him of the system message that 'success’.

The contents of the quest Lim Long received from Charleon were all about blowing up the Dark Crystal, and the decision was right, so the quest was successful.

The words of Rich King Charleon continue.

“If the explosion had succeeded, the lowly humans would have suffered considerable damage. ”

Lim Long considers Ian and Shakran, who will be buried in the explosion, and makes a lawsuit.

“Yes, my king. The finest warriors of Humankind have been included in it, so Humans will not be able to sneak over here. ”

“I see. Klael, you are as foolish as they come. ”

Charleon and Lim Long fit in nicely.

Lim Long felt good that he had successfully screwed with the human users, and that was the same with Charleon.

Moreover, the more intimate she was with Charleon, the more Congolese she would fall, so it was natural for her to actively continue her conversation with him.

“By the way, are you the only one left of the warriors supported by the Maine? ”

“Yes, my king. But don't worry. Until I return to the throne room, I will do my best. ”

“Yes, yes. Trustworthy.”

Every time I spoke to the Rich King, I saw the increasing intimacy, and Lim Long smiled with a pleasant smile.

"Hehe, you must be out of the human game by now, wiping your feet and going to bed." ’

It was Lim Long who laughed with a tremendous smile, whether he felt good just thinking about it or not.

But there was one thing he didn't even know about his dreams.

The current conversations with the Rich King are helping humanitarian users in the end.

The longer the conversation between the Limlong and the Rich King, the more reassured the Rich King will be, and it will soon lead to carelessness.

‘Lotus and Titan have been wiped out, so it's just the rest of them. It'll take them at least two days to get here, right? Still, it's a little sad to log out like this.... Shall we go out for a drink? ’

However, as Lim Long firmly believed that Ian and the expedition had died, it was impossible to speculate.
