Taming Master

Gulp.

On a speaker connected to the TV, the sound of swallowing the needle resonates.

A battlefield that was silent momentarily.

In addition to that, the lost commentators.

Normally, even Heins, who immediately unraveled every scene, opened his eyes and said nothing.

It seemed as if time had stopped for a moment.

“Hey, semi! ”

“Why are you calling me? ”

“Explain that to me. ”

“Huh, don't you get it? ”

“Oh, man, I'm dizzy. Explain it to me! What the hell is going on? How do you use your skills to fight seven battles without any cooldown? ”

“I can't explain it. ”

“ ……? ”

“I didn't get it either. ”

“Woosh.”

A small seminar room at the corner of Korea University's virtual reality.

Four or five first-graders, including seminars and Young-hoon, were gathering to watch YTBC games on screen.

Among them, the semi and Young Hun were almost ready to be sucked into the screen.

On TV, Lucia and Hines' voices continued to flow.

-Ha, Hines, can you give me some skill info first?

- Maybe that's better, huh?

- Yeah, to explain what's going on, I think we should start with skill information.

Blood Split is a known unique ability, so it shouldn't be difficult to fly it.

Following the conversation between Hines and Lucia, a skill information window of the 'Blood Split’ skill appears in one corner of the screen.

An information pane detailing the attack count of a skill, starting with the addition options.

And the semi and Young-hoon who confirmed it opened their mouths with an excited voice.

“Oh, skill info! ”

“Oh, I can use this without cooldown because of conditional options. ”

“Young-hoon, would you stop pretending? ”

“Woosh.”

But even after checking the information, the question didn't go away entirely.

It was because I did not understand how to utilize alternative conditional activation options.

“Resets cooldown on kill. Did you take advantage of this option? ”

“I think so. Every time I trigger it, I get an exact angle, and I hit another undead with only a few lives left at the same time. ”

“All seven times? ”

“Eh……. Now that I think about it, I don't think so. I didn't get a good look at it, but it triggered five or six times even though I couldn't do it. ”

“Mach Chin's Undead is three in total? ”

“That's right."

“Phew…? How the hell did you do that? Is it a bug?"

“If it's not a bug, there's only one way.... ”

“You mean option three? Resets the cooldown on three consecutive critical hits. ”

“Yes, that option. Oh, I need to rewind it so I can see it again... ”

Other students who were less understanding of the game than Semi- and Young-hoon were just listening to their conversations, and the two of them began to talk hard to understand the situation.

At that time, Hines, who was still on the screen, finally opened his mouth.

- Let's go back to the slow screen. Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to focus now.

The two eyes of Young-hoon and the semi were fixed on the screen at the same time as if he had promised.

* * *

In fact, Blood Split has always been a famous skill.

It was because it was a unique ability that was the symbol of Lim Long, which had appeared every time Lim Long played in the Magic Cube.

Because it is the primary weapon of Lim Long, the number one assassin class, and a very powerful and glamorous skill, it should not have been famous.

It was during the episode of "Rebel Punitive Battle" that this Blood Split became famous for the first time.

At the time, the five Horse NPCs who appeared as rebels were floated by Mad Movie who was killed by Lim Long at once, the skill Lim Long used at the time was this Blood Split.

And the Blood Split Control Lim Long showed at the time was incredibly difficult.

Perfect damage calculation and targeting.

There, with the right accuracy.

It was a scene that matched the word ’Mad Movie’, which even the craziest rankers couldn't easily imitate.

Funny thing is, the commentator who first broadcast Lim Long's Mad Movie was Hines.

Hines looks back at the scene in his head and shakes his head.

‘But at least at that time, the scene was shocking and not completely unintelligible. ’

Lim Long's play at the time was, in fact, a simple one to explain.

We only used Blood Split to accurately match the five horses with very few lives left.

Whenever you kill a Horseman, the cooldown time has been reset and you can only use the skill consecutively.

However, it was surprising that all five skills were activated before the red balance disappeared, and all five were hit.

That is, play that anyone can think of, but it was almost impossible to make it happen.

On the contrary, the play that Ian is showing now was not even understood at the beginning.

If seven Blood Splits were triggered in a row, at least seven undead would have died, since there were only three undead defeated.

The only way this situation could be achieved without bugs was with a third conditional option.

-If the critical attack is successful three or more times in a row, the Blood Split's cooldown time is reset.

However, in that short amount of time, how the three critical hits were triggered, and how the stack calculation was done, Heins didn't even get caught.

As he steals his cold sweat, he begins to focus on Ian's slowly regenerating battle scene.

I had to make a convincing comment at least by watching slow-playing videos.

Hines's solemn expression slowly begins to shut up for comment.

“Here's where the first Blood Droplet kicks in! ”

The moment Ian was caught in the red aura in the slow screen, he shot out like a gunshot.

Ian passes through the Arianes, at which point a 'critical hit’ is triggered.

- You have inflicted fatal damage on the Witch of Death, Arianeth!

And Ian's new red brother, who crossed Arianes, penetrated one of the skeleton knights behind him in succession.

The skeleton knight, who had less than half his life force, still reached death.

- Critical damage done to Skeleton Knight!

- You have successfully defeated Skeleton Knight!

- You killed an enemy with a unique 'Blood Split’ ability!

-Established latency for reuse of unique capabilities‘ Blood Split ’.

After checking this far with a slow screen, Hines felt a slight tingling sensation in his body.

‘Hey, there are already two stacks of critical hits here...! ’

Critical hits were achieved by most rankers.

But a non-target skill that extends in a straight line that simultaneously hits more than one target?

This was a development that could be thought of theoretically.

Hines' head begins to spin rapidly.

‘With two stacks of Critical Hits here, you can have three stacks in no time. ’

Ian has just defeated the Skeleton Knight, gaining two stacks of Critical Hits and being able to use the Blood Split again.

That is to say, if you use the Blood Split to Arianes again as a critical hit, the critical hit becomes a three-stack at that moment, and the cooldown time is reset again.

And as Hines predicted, Ian's continued Blood Split became increasingly critical.

- You have inflicted fatal damage on the Witch of Death, Arianeth!

- You hit three times in a row as a ‘Critical Hit'!

-Established latency for reuse of unique capabilities‘ Blood Split ’.

Successful in resetting the second skill, even if the first option 'Reset cooldown time when killing enemies’ is not active.

Hines now understands all the mechanisms and starts screaming without even knowing it.

“That's it! You created a Critical Hit Stack at a time when you didn't have any enemies to kill, allowing you to trigger seven skills in a row against the same enemy! ”

Ian in the slow screen then immediately kicked the ground and slightly moved his position.

It was to put the target and the location of Arianes in a straight line to the front.

And from now on, it was the same pattern of repetition.

Just as Hines screamed at the whale, Ian utilized the intermediate critical hit stack.

The reason why the seven successive flashes of bloodshot light were able to egg Arianese was uncovered.

After the video was finished, Lucia also woke up to understand the situation later.

“This, I think, is amazing, Mr. Hines! ”

Lucia opened her mouth in horror.

Hines even almost cries.

“Oh, I'm so happy that I saw this live today, just because I broadcast it myself! ”

“Ian Gott! What a waste of time! ”

“That's right, how do you play a game that gives you this control? No, before that... How do you come up with this idea? ”

“Well, isn't that a natural sense of game? ”

“Ha……. It's not a game, it's art! It's art!”

Hines continued to explain and amaze Ian's Blood Split Control, making sure it was never too late.

But no one was bored with it.

Many users only understood it because of the many explanations, and even those who quickly understood it were amazed.

And all this time, the battle of the expedition continued.

One more named boss died while the slow screen was playing, and the other five bosses quickly began to lose health.

Of course, many scenes were created in the process, but Ian's only blood split was no longer a masterpiece.

Unlike him, the relay heat grew hotter and hotter.

Could it have been more than an hour?

Kung-!

The last seven servants of the giant Ghost Dragon, who guarded the Rich King's advance to the end, all ended up dead.

And that meant that the Rich King Raid had succeeded by more than half.

It was clear that the Rich King itself would become more powerful as Faith passed, but it would not be more difficult than having to deal with the seven servants.

Floating in the air, the Rich King lands in front of Ian with a cliché ambassador.

Kung-!

“Khh. Indeed, you're quite adept at human subterfuge. ”

The Dark Energy spreads around the place where the Rich King fell.

Ian and his expeditions, who quickly avoided it, looked nervous at the Rich King.

It was because we didn't know what the next phase of Raid would lead to.

After a while, the dark energy surrounding the Rich King spread to all directions, and the system messages blurred out in front of Ian and the expedition.

- Tyring!

- You've killed all of the servants of the Rich King, Charleon!

- 150,000 Reputation!

- 1.4M Contribution Points!

- All the Dark Energy that was guarding Charleon will disappear.

- Now we can attack Charleon.

At that moment, Ian's eyes, as he was reading the messages, suddenly widened.

It was not because of the content of the message.

When the message came to mind, it was because of Charleon's level of openness.

-Rich King Sharian: Lv. 500

How could you do this? ’

A much more powerful level of Charleon was exactly the same as the level of the servants you just defeated.

The level of Charleon, which I expected to be at least 550, was set to the same 500 levels as the servants.

Something that's hard to understand has happened.
