Taming Master

Queek, queek, queek!

Glug-ug-!

Three monkeys made of iron rushed towards Ian with an eerie sound.

-Chariophytecous: Lv. 11 (transcendence)

Ian's face then checked their transcendence level, and he was a little nervous.

‘Definitely not a good difficulty from here. ’

This was the second of Ian's two digit transcendent fields.

When he got close to the second river of Erebos, Coquitos, Ian encountered the first two-digit transcendent-level monster on the field.

At that time, of course, I couldn't even fight properly.

‘It's safe to cut them one by one, one at a time. ’

Ian quickly examines the surrounding terrain and throws the Spirit King's judgment at the one approaching from the front.

You little...!

Then the puzzled one jumps up into the air.

Queek, queek, queek!

Judgment of the Spirit King who lost his purpose and fell to the ground due to the aggravated movements of the mechanical monkeys.

At first glance, it may seem that Ian didn't fit, but he never did.

Ian just led him to jump in the first place.

Monsters that can't fly can't change direction from the air.

Because of that, the monsters that jumped into the air were the best targets to be eaten by arrows.

Glug-ug-!

A red flame erupted from Ian's longbow of flames.

It was a flaming arrow, to be exact.

You little...!

The arrow of flame that flew through the air was lodged precisely in the chest of the flying machine monkey.

But interestingly, the monkey had two arrows, not one.

- I've triggered the "Fire of Hell" spirit spell.

- You inflicted fatal fire damage on the monster 'Carriopithecus’!

- Reduces the Health of 'Carriopithecus’ by 454.

- Spirit Agby triggers his unique ability, the Devil of Fire!

- You inflicted fatal fire damage on the monster 'Carriopithecus’!

- Reduces the health of 'Carriopithecus’ by 390.

Agby's unique ability, the 'Devil of Fire’, is the ability to replicate the energy magic of the fire attributes used by his animist.

That is, as soon as Ian summoned the flaming poem and shot at the monkey, the flaming arrow was also fired from his hand.

When the arrows of both feet were bent, two markers overlapped, of course.

- Monster ‘Carriopithecus’ has been marked with a 'Fire of Hell’. For 10 seconds from now, 46 additional damage per second (1 stack)

- Monster ‘Carriopithecus’ has been marked with a 'Fire of Hell’. For 10 seconds from now, 38 additional damage per second (2 stacks)

And of course, Ian's attack couldn't have ended here.

You little...!

To the former archer Ian, quicksand was like a breathing passive skill.

Pack-Papa-Pack-!

Before a flying monkey could step on the ground, four or five arrows in a row cut through the air and turned his torso into a hedgehog.

Besides, Ian wasn't the only one shooting arrows, so the markings piled up to ten stacks in no time.

- The overlap of the ‘Hellfire’ marker has become Maximum.

- Markings cause a powerful explosion.

- You inflicted fatal fire damage on the monster 'Carriopithecus’!

- Reduces the health of 'Carriopithecus’ by 2,110.

The count of time of fire is only 40 percent.

Because of this, the single arrow's attack power was much weaker than Ian's.

However, as the signs piled up and exploded, the story changed completely.

Compared to the unique ability ‘Blood Split’ which boasts a high attack coefficient, there was not much damage done.

Stuck Gigg-!

Angry mechanical monkeys rush towards Ian more aggressively.

However, one of the three was already dead.

Pipping-!

In the joint between Ian and Agby, it collapsed.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the monster "Carriopethecus"!

- 44 transcendent EXP.

-6Aster awarded.

As one colleague was erased in an instant, the other two monkeys began to move more cautiously.

After confirming Ian fired the projectile, he cleverly approached the trees as a cover.

In terrestrial monsters, a high level of AI is not easily seen.

But Ian was not embarrassed.

Ian didn't just have Agby and the flame.

“Current Growth! ”

As soon as a monkey plucked out his head, a lump of current produced from Ian's hand shot out quickly.

And the sphere of the electrostatic discharge was stuck in the head of the machine monkey indefinitely.

Job-supporting-!

- You hit the 'Current Growth’ skill. We've dealt 679 electric shocks to Carriopithecus.

A mechanical monkey that is far less damaged than a flamethrower, but never less.

But the problem was not 679.

Current proliferation was literally a unique ability to proliferate, split into four halves at the exact moment of impact.

Support -!

- Expanded current has caused 196 additional damage to 'Carriopethecus’.

- Expanded current has caused 234 additional damage to 'Carriopethecus’.

Even the dense forest is where they hide.

And the sphere of current proliferation had a habit of constantly splitting and bouncing when it hit somewhere.

Because of this, the other monkey beside me was forced to be electrocuted as well.

- Carriopethecus is paralyzed.

- Carriopethecus moves 30 percent slower and takes 50 percent more damage from strikes with the 'electrocution’ attribute.

- The cooldown time for 'current expansion’ is initialized.

Blame-!

Ian quickly teased them and moved to their side, creating the situation he wanted.

In Ian's hand, a long bow of flames was then created again.

Ping-Ping-Ping-!

And for the two mechanical monkeys, there was no cuff to hold Ian's arrow baptized for so long.

Two mechanical monkeys melted by the heat of the flames, melting helplessly into the ground.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the monster "Carriopethecus"!

- You got 42 transcendent EXP.

-8Aster acquired.

- Increased transcendent EXP by 46.

-6Aster awarded.

A smile leaked from Ian's mouth as he checked his reward.

It was definitely a double reward, and the amount of transcendent experience was enormous.

It's almost 50 per fish, right? If I find the dungeon and get a Duplicate Buff, I'll be close to 100. ’

And not long after that, Arthur, from which the monsters drop, is also shot.

Perhaps when you return to town after the quest, you will be able to shop once more using the collected Arthur.

“Good job, Abby! ”

Ian feels better, raising his thumb up toward Agby and Zheng.

Although they are the weakest creatures at the beginning of the map, it was encouraging enough to hunt them down with a spirit without a summoning.

Agby, who listened to Ian's compliment, pretended to be both hands and slapped on the waist.

- I'm good at what I do, Master.

He then sat on Ian's shoulder and cried, raising his beak.

Wh-Whoa, Jack!

Spirits seem a little arrogant, but that's only a small matter.

“Pussy, who are you so arrogant of? ”

- Spirits always tell the truth, my lord.

Shh-shh-shh!

“ ……. ”

Anyway, Ian stopped having a good start and continued to move toward his destination.

Some additional mechanical monkeys appeared along the way, but they were no longer a threat.

The combination of "paralysis" of current proliferation and the flame of hell was better than I thought, so they didn't touch Ian's fur.

Ian was just delighted to see the rising spirituality skills and spiritual power.

“Well done, Buff. Endless paddling until it's done! ”

Ian, who was excited, rushed north in a daze.

And so, more than 10 minutes ago?

Found it!

Ian finally sees the entrance to the Contaminated Mine.

* * *

Najchan, who was watching Ian's video, forgot to chew the potato chips in his mouth and became dumbfounded.

“Crazy……. ”

It was because Ian felt too unrealistic to sweep the monkeys away in an instant.

Of course, the mechanical monkeys' cariopithecus’ were not such difficult monsters, but they were not at the level that transcendental level seven would slice and run.

If you were a normal (?) other ranker, it would take at least 3-5 minutes to hunt one.

And that wasn't all that surprised Najchan.

Where else did you find that skill, by the way? ’

Ian recognized the ‘Fire of Hell’ skill, the arrow of the flame that was shooting like crazy.

“Why did that get into her hands again.... ”

Hell's Flame skill is not a particularly deceptive skill.

It's an evolutionary skill, but it's easier to find in the middle realm than you think.

Judging by the balanced test data, this is just one of those unusual skills.

Rather, it was a skill that would be avoidable if it were a typical user with low coefficient and difficult to write.

It was a skill with a low attack count so you wouldn't be able to find it.

However, depending on the user's ability, the increasing power width was a little overwhelming.

I still remember exactly what Team Leader Kim Hye-hwan said when planning this skill.

- How good can a summoner's archer's skill be if he's not an archer? Besides, if this coefficient didn't have this much potential, who would use this skill? Just fix it!

Of course, Kim's words were reasonable enough.

Najchan thinks that this skill was the only advantage because of the overlap of conditional activation effects.

However, if the user using it is Ian, the story will be completely different.

He is the best hitman and a monster from a former archer ranker.

Ian was never a user within the category of a 'summoner’.

“Ahh... ”

I sighed and shook my head.

Ian didn't seem to have noticed it yet, but there was another special feature in the spirit magic of 'Flame of Hell'.

If Ian finds out about it, disaster will befall the planning team.

And Ian, who Najchan knew, was not someone he couldn't find.

“Please be reasonable, Ian. ”

I'm staring at the screen with my eyes wide open.

Peeing-!

With the remote control turned off the screen, the turtleneck begins to move.

I thought it would be a good choice for me to get off work a little early and keep my eyes open.

If I'm going to work late tomorrow, I need to get my strength up.

“Ha, I thought the real middleman wasn't there yet……. ”

After leaving the monitoring room with an elongated grumbling, Najchan even looked depressed.
