Taming Master

* * *

He wasn't wrong.

Two minutes after Ian stepped in the path of the forest, a grey rabbit protruded out through the grass.

Pusszek-Papa-!

A rabbit that sprints out like a bullet, bouncing off somewhere.

I was interested in Ian's face for checking it out.

"Haha, this is also fresh and fun! ’

Although Ian's level dropped due to the penalty, it was well over 400.

However, at this point, the situation of hunting rabbits came very fresh.

‘Let's see, the bow tastes good for hunting rabbits. ’

In order to catch fast and agile rabbits, of course, ranged weapons are much more advantageous.

Ian naturally opened his inventory to switch weapons and try to equip it.

But, of course, the inventory did not open.

- Tyring!

- Inventory cannot be opened while in 'Dead’ state.

“Phew……. ”

Ian looked like he wanted to cry again.

‘I have to catch a rabbit with a spear...' ’

Rabbits are basically herbivores.

The user's Attack Power is weak, but its Movement Speed is extremely fast.

Even the rabbits on the beginner hunting grounds of the Colonard continent.

Among the novice users who used proximity weapons, the rabbit often didn't even notice.

Rabbits that run around cooking at a fast rate are very poor at hunting efficiency.

‘Phew, I don't know what to do. I'm telling you to do it. ’

Ian grips the handle of the sword again.

The weapon Ian is holding is the Bloody Levangie.

It was a plunder from 'Lim Long’, which he held in his hand at the last moment of the battle with King Mukhan.

‘At least it's not the judgment of the Spirit King. ’

Bloody Revenge is a feather-like light sword that has the advantage of a dagger plus a dagger.

On the other hand, the judgment of the Spirit King is a deathless widow's spear.

Who can see the advantages of rabbit hunting?

‘There's a Blood Split. ’

Charging attacks, such as Blood Split, will be a great tool to catch the rabbit quickly.

Ian decided to make the most of this skill.

Let's go find him. ’

As he slowly walked toward the grass, Ian carefully opened a space in between.

Fouszec.

Ian kills as much as he can and pushes his head through the grass.

At the next moment, Ian's impression was crumpled again.

"What is this? The rabbit theme is……. ’

- Underworld Rabbit: Lv 3 (transcendent)

The rabbit had reached a level of 3.

"Phew, I shouldn't underestimate rabbits. ’

Levels in Kailan never lie.

Ian's current transcendence level is 2.

After all, the rabbit's level was higher than Ian's, so you should be careful.

Moreover, the lower the level, the greater the difference in level 1 is perceived.

Fluffy.

As carefully as possible, Ian begins to approach the rabbit, killing his footsteps.

The Blood Split could have been used to get close at once, but it was better to save it until after the rabbit noticed Ian's existence.

Blood Split is a non-target skill, and the closer the distance, the easier it is to match.

That's when Ian came up to 1 meter after the rabbit...

“ ……! ”

Ian noticed that the hind leg muscles of the rabbit were about to move, and immediately triggered a Blood Split.

Fath-!

-Unique ability, Blood Split.

Ian's target skill accuracy is unmatched.

Even the strongest archer rankers in the world recognize Ian's ability to match his non-target skills.

Ian couldn't have fit a rabbit within a meter.

Aaaaahhhh!

- Fatal damage to the 'Underworld Rabbit'!

As expected, Ian triggered a weak spot, which blew up a critical hit!

But the problem was then.

- The 'Underworld Rabbit’ has 685 Health.

- You are now 'The Underworld Rabbit’ and ‘Hostile’.

The 'Underworld Rabbit’ was also a 'posthumous monster’ that would not reveal hostility if it did not attack first, like the common rabbits of Colonare continent.

A friendly reminder of the message of being hostile.

But that wasn't the point.

685? ’

Obviously, it was only three orders of magnitude of damage, even though the blood split was plugged with a critical hit.

That's why Ian's gaze was naturally on his life gauge.

“ ……! ”

Then I was even more embarrassed. It was because the rabbit's vital gauge was rarely sheared.

On a scale of two to three percent?

A Blood Split deal of this magnitude could mean a two-digit deal for a standard attack.

‘At the midfield, my current attack power should be about 1,000.... ’

The current attack power represented in Ian's status window, which became transcendental level 2, was 1,350, to be exact.

However, only half of the damage was impacted, meaning that the rabbit's defensive strength was higher than Ian's.

"What's wrong with rabbits? ’

And it was at that moment when Ian was embarrassed.

Phew!

The instant popping rabbit casts a headbutt on Ian.

- We've been hit by the 'Underworld Rabbit’!

- HP reduced by 6,798!

“Crazy……! ”

Ian had no idea what he was doing.

It was expected that the item paw had 90,000 additional lives, or it would have been such a powerful attack that it would have died in just one attack.

Ian's current health, minus the item bonus, was only at 5,000.

After all, it was the afterlife rabbit that had outperformed Ian in one air exchange.

Ian's head begins to spin rapidly.

‘If you hit it flat, you must hit almost a thousand to catch this cuff. ’

Maybe I wouldn't get tired of the rabbit even fighting like this.

Even though the rabbit's body was fast, it wasn't inevitable.

(Of course, if everyone fights, Ian can't win.)

But time was a problem.

It took me a minute to catch one, so I can get five hides in three hours.

“Phew, I have to summon it because of the rabbit.... ”

Ian, who self-muttered, eventually decided to borrow the power of the summoners.

“Summon, Carseus! Summon! Lots! ”

At the next moment, the system messages that followed Ian's eyes were even more frustrating.

-Carcess cannot be summoned.

- You can only summon the ‘Dead’ status when you are 'Dead'.

- Summon ‘Lots’...

In the ‘Dead’ state, only the ‘Dead’ summoner was set to be summoned.

Only Ian was condemned to die in battle with the King.

“Aah!”

Ian's quest for fame was, indeed, espionage.

* * *

- Ian's spotter.

So what did you do?

I don't know what to do.

I fought very hard with the Underworld rabbit.

I don't know if you're gonna laugh, but I'm being serious right now.

It took almost 10 minutes to catch one…….

I thought killing Desknight would be a lot easier.

But the problem is, it didn't end there.

In the ‘Dead' state, the item was not even set to drop.

When three hides weren't dropped, I thought the sky was singing.

I thought the planning team was messing with the bunny hide drop rate, so I got a lot going on.

But then I thought, this is the setting that I was so kind to tell you about in the system message.

He was a complete idiot.

Anyway, it wasn't until I caught three stupid bunnies that I realized that, and then I started not knowing.

The time it took to collect about five rabbits.... Maybe more than two hours ago.

Phew.

It was really hard....

This is "F"?

Hard F, perhaps, stands for "Fantastic."

It was a quest on a truly fantastic difficulty level. This…….

Anyway, after killing all five rabbits so hard, I was able to hand them over to Pouch and get five Death Coins.

I never thought I'd be able to succeed in leaving this quest with five minutes to spare.

But after completing this quest, I was finally given free time.

I have time to wander around the system and get information.

When I got back to Tanatos Village, I began to roam the landscape with such audacity.

The Shakran Ash and Titan Guild have roughly fourteen days left to enter the system.

I had to get as much information as I could until then.

Of course, if the fire hadn't defeated Mukhan, he might not have been able to enter the system.

But you know what's really funny?

The only thing Shark meant was that 14 days after the opening of the door to the Light System, I wasn't with them.

Unlike those who couldn't cross the Acheron, I was able to open a portal in Tanatos.

But the other Lotus guild members, besides me, let them move with Titan.

Rather, there were more hunters to level up transcendence in the command system before crossing the Acheron River, and if I didn't, Chakran would have doubted me a lot. (Even though I still feel doubtful....)

Moreover, the Living One is inside Acheron. That is, staying in Erebos is a tremendous risk.

All right, then!

Why would I risk all this danger and doubt and stay in Erebos until the end?

I used to get as much information as I could until Shah defeated the king, and then I was planning on going in and out of the door he opened.

Haha, you want to know why?

But that, if you think about it a little bit, you'll see.

Do you remember what I most wanted to find in the Commandment?

Hehe.

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Easier than I thought.

And very quickly, it's probably about 10 days since I became a living person and started searching for Erebos.

So this is, like, a day or two before the Shark king was killed.
