Taming Master

* * *

“Vanessa, take a left! Cover me! ”

“Got it, sister! ”

Ian escapes the party's power, but the two sisters climb the tower.

In the five minutes that Ian was five minutes ahead, the total number of floors that the two sisters went up was three.

It seemed to have broken through one floor every two minutes, so it was never slow.

But now, considering the time limit that was only 10 minutes away, it was a dark situation.

‘Phew, this... Do we really have to fail? ’

Sarah shakes her head, looking up at the still clumsy upper part.

Now I really, really had no choice but to expect Ian to make a variable.

“I should have bought a wand with Blink's unique abilities.... ”

In fact, this Gateway was difficult because all skills except the unique abilities attached to the item were limited.

If skills had been available, they would have been able to reach the top without difficulty using the Instant Movement Skill Blink.

And like Sarah's muttering, it would have been an easy gateway if she had an item with a unique Blink capability attached to it.

Suddenly, in Sarah's mind, I remembered the back of Ian who went up first.

Ian, who took advantage of Blood Levangie's unique abilities and hit it in a bizarre way.

‘Seeing that there was no party message separately, I don't think he died……. Where the hell are you doing? ’

Ian climbed up first, strangely quiet.

I didn't know what he was up to, but there was not even a message that he had defeated a spirit.

‘I'm sure he's great.... You'd better give up hope now, wouldn't you? ’

I smiled bitterly at Sarah's mouth.

Regardless, it's no wonder that you only fail one quest.

But that's when it happened.

- Tyring!

A line of system messages came to mind.

- Party Member Ian has defeated the Lesser Fire Spirit Casa!

- Increases EXP by 16.

“Huh…? ”

“Huh?”

Sarah and Vanessa look up at the message at the same time.

It was because an unexpected message was shared from Ian, who had not heard from him for more than 5 minutes.

“What happened? ”

Vanessa mutters in a low voice and circles the upper floors.

But then, I began to think of a lot of messages in front of them.

- Tyring!

- Party Member Ian has defeated the Lesser Fire Spirit Casa!

- Party Member Ian has defeated the Lesser Fire Spirit Casa!

…… approximate……

- Party Member Ian has defeated the Lesser Wind Spirit Silaf!

“ ……! ”

“What is this? ”

In a situation that was completely incomprehensible, the eyes of the two sisters were enlarged at the same time.

For less than three seconds, it reminded me of a message that more than twelve spirits had been killed.

The messages were unacceptable to the two who had not watched Ian's battle.

“How... is this possible?" ”

Vanessa mutters with a blank expression, forgetting that she had a spirit to deal with.

And at that moment, a red shadow rose into the air and flashed into the eyes of the two sisters.

* * *

Wedge- Wedge-!

With a sharp ripple through the air, red fog scatters in all directions.

Shadows of red flashes with dizziness in the middle of a spire covered in white snow.

And as the shadows passed, the bodies of the spirits settled.

One scene as pictured, with the additive effect of a Blood Split called 'Reset Cooldown on Treatment’.

It was truly spectacular.

- Tyring!

- You met certain conditions!

- You earned the title "Spirit Slayer"!

I got a title that I didn't think of, but Ian didn't care.

The title of the class‘ Hero ’given that the color is bright.

Of Ian's many titles, there was no reason to be bothered because there were so many legendary titles.

And in fact, I couldn't afford to care less.

What was important to Ian now was to somehow get through the 25th floor.

Fath-!

Ian, who had exterminated twelve spirits in an instant, took a leap toward the air.

I then looked up at the sky of the spire, which was pierced all the way to the top floor.

‘At this distance.... It's possible!’

Whoo-hoo!

Along with a quiet vibration, Ian's new stature begins to turn red again.

And it was the beginning of a sprint.

Pa-ah!

With an intense pulse, Ian's new statue is shot up vertically.

Since it wasn't shot diagonally, Ian's new stature broke through nearly three or four layers at once.

Moreover, it was not the end.

Pa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah!

The propulsion of the triggered Blood Split disappears, and the unique ability is triggered again.

And it went on four times in a row.

You little...!

Ian's new statue, scattered all over the place, soared to the top of the spire.

Ian subsequently landed in an area where he could see the end of Gateway 2.

It was the 25th floor of the spire.

Blame-!

Ian lightly landed on the top floor, sighing for relief.

“Phew, you did it! ”

Ian's mouth was filled with a proud smile, removing the sweaty drops from his forehead.

Even Ian was unsure whether he could succeed this time.

But Ian, how did he trigger the Blood Split four times in a row?

In the air where there are no monsters.

The secret was the Critical Hit Stack.

Conditional option for Blood Split that allows you to reset the cooldown on 3 critical hits.

Ian has built over twelve Critical Hit Stacks.

In fact, building more than four Critical Hit Stacks is impossible under normal circumstances.

The moment the Critical Hit Stack reaches three, the Skill's cooldown time returns and the stack disappears.

But there was only one exception.

Despite having more than three Critical Hit Stacks, the Blood Split Skill was active.

And there was only one way to make this possible.

When the third critical hit gathers, killing the enemy.

When a Blood Split is triggered and an enemy dies, the cooldown time returns regardless of the Critical Hit Stack.

Ian left the spirits in a moribund state without defeating them to use this system.

After risking his life a few times.

And the strategy that waited for Blood Split's reuse, as you can see, was working perfectly.

“Well, then…. Let's get this over with. ”

Ian's new brotherhood mutters in a small voice, rapidly shooting towards the end.

There were rushing spirits, but there was no time to deal with them.

It was because the Contribution Points had to be completed a little sooner.

25th floor of the spire.

One white portal in the north.

When Ian arrived there, he flew into it without hesitation.

And at that moment, I remembered a message that was waiting for Ian's view.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully breached Gateway 2!

- Contribution Points are calculated.

- Ian: 1,765 - SS +

- Sarah: 479 - C-

-Vanessa: 510-C

- If Contribution Points are below D, you will be disqualified from the Gateway.

-If you fail due to lack of Contribution Points, you can try again.

Pleasant system messages, that you have successfully breached the gate.

As Ian predicted, if only one person arrived first, the gateway would be cleared.

And I kept coming up with system messages.

- You have successfully completed the ‘Summoner Edition Test Ⅱ (Job) (Association)’ Quest!

- You got 125 transcendent EXP.

- You have earned 100,000 Reputation.

- Remaining time: 8 minutes 56 seconds/20 minutes

-Clear Grade: S +

You have been cleared as -S or higher.

- Gain 50 Spirit Magic Power (Transcension).

- Obtain 30 Summon Magical Power (Transcension).

Seeing the transcendent spiritual power of 50, and the summoning power of 30, Ian felt like he was about to fly away.

‘Clearing Grade A and clearing Grade S is a huge difference in rewards. ’

Ian's vision brightens as he enters the portal, and more pleasant messages come to mind.

- Tyring!

-You met the transcendent level up requirement.

- Your transcendence level is rising!

- I'm a level five transcendent.

* * *

- The ‘Test of Summoner Edition Ⅲ (Job) (Association)’ Quest will begin.

- The Spirit ‘Undine’ will be unsummoned.

- The Spirit ‘Norm’ will be unsummoned.

- The Spirit Weapon Staff of Fire will disappear.

A large number of sheep from the Frost Cave had three gates to the plate.

And that meant that this Gateway was finally the last Gateway.

“Gas!”

Ian took a big breath one time and stepped forward.

At the same time, two shadows appeared behind Ian.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

It was, of course, the shadow of two sisters staring at Ian from the eighth floor of the ice spire.

“Awesome. ”

“What kind of magic did you do? ”

Two sisters.

Among them, Vanessa, who held Ian's arm in her hands, began to make a fuss.

“Ian, you're amazing! ”

“I've decided to admire you from today on. ”

“That's amazing! ”

In fact, this association quest was much more important and meaningful to the summoner Vanessa than the wizard Sarah.

The chances of getting a Summoner's new content and 'Necromancy’ depended on the success of this quest.

Looking at the two sisters' hoops, Ian smiled and opened his mouth, gazing forward.

“I'll get it when I'm done thanking you. ”

“I see. When I'm done with the Spirit Realm quest, I'll shoot you hard! ”

“That's right. Come play in Frankfurt. I'll only feed you meat until your belly explodes. ”

Ian shakes his head, looking at the two excited sisters.

‘What is Frankfurt……. I've never been to Jeju Island. ’

To Ian, who had never flown before, Germany was too far away.

After all, the three who successfully arrived at the final gate began scanning the map, looking around.

The first gate that used to be a long passageway.

A second gate that was shaped like a tall spire.

This third and final gate was a huge vacancy.

And in the middle of a large clearing, there was a huge crystal.

What is that? ’

Crystals made of translucent material, very similar to ice.

I felt like something was inside, but I couldn't see it well because the light was bent.

“Let's go over there, shall we? ”

With Sarah's question, Ian nods and answers.

“Yeah. I think there's something in there. ”

Ian and his group take a cautious step toward the crystal.

A third quest has not yet come to mind, but it was because I didn't know which variables existed.

And it was when all three of them got to him.

Whoo-hoo!

With a large resonance sound, a white light begins to flow from inside the crystal.

- Tyring!

The last quest on the board came to mind in front of Ian's party.

- 'Test of Summoner Edition Ⅲ (Job) (Association)’

The final test of the game awaits those of you who made it through the second gate of the Frost Cave safely.

At Gate Three, you will be given a new Spirit (Spirit Weapon).

You must survive at the Final Gateway using the given Spirit, and if any of the Spirits given to the party members die, you will fail the trial.

Survive the Contaminated Spirits to the end and get the vision of the remaining plates.

Quest Difficulty: B

Quest Condition: User who completed the 'Summoner Edition Test Ⅱ' Quest.

User is a summoner class, or includes a summoner class in the party.

Timeout: None

* Quest clear conditions are met when all monster waves are survived and killed to the last enemy.

Reward: Superior EXP 200

Reputation 200,000

‘Is this a Survival Quest or an Extermination Quest? ’

Ian, who quickly read the quest window, mutters to himself.

At the same time, a message came to mind informing me of the conditions of the final gate.

- The spirit of intermediate flame, Ignis, has been summoned.

- All hanging constraints are gone.

And so began the final battle of the Frost Cave.
