Taming Master

* * *

Ian has good eyes.

As soon as I entered the Arena, I was able to identify the three Ralph Clans at a glance.

‘What, someone did……. Was it these idiots?'

One warrior, one archer, and finally a summoner.

In fact, it was not easy for Ian to be certain of the identity of Ralph the warrior and Chesk the archer on this battlefield that was blinded and even transformed into a black shadow.

Unlike the two, however, Inisko, the summoner, had too many clues as to his identity.

Leaving everything else behind, the summoners he was carrying were uncommon.

Griffin King, the main summoner of Inisko, among other things.

This is the only unique summon on the server.

Like Carseus or Elkarix, only one summoner exists on each server: the Griffin King.

Given all this, Ian was convinced that Ralph's party was the three shadows.

‘Hehe, these guys are worth a try. ’

If Ian and Ralph's group are at war with all the information at hand, then we have no guarantee of victory.

After all, they were powerful rankers on U.S. servers, and it's not easy to overcome the heat without any tricks.

But now it's different.

Ian knows about the Three Musketeers, but they don't know about him.

No, I would not know

‘I thought you were a knight until the end.... If Muel wasn't so cavalier, there'd be no way to know.

Ian, on the other hand, is very knowledgeable about their power.

‘We just have to catch Ralph first and get started. Chesk is well dealt, but without Ralph attached, a blind arrow is enough to avoid…. ’

Ian stares at Ralph and Chesk, looking at Enisco to the left.

And from Ian's mouth, a mouthful of laughter leaked out.

‘Was it Inysco? I'm sure that idiot can handle a truck. ’

Ralph and Chesk's human-level would be almost equal to Ian's.

But Ian felt Inisco had a much lower level than Ian.

In fact, it was almost impossible to create an equal level in this class as a ‘summoner’, so I didn't know if this was a natural part.

Moreover, there is no one who understands the Summoner's combat mechanism better than Ian.

It was Inisco who was the most frustrating thing for Ian.

At this point, there will be one question.

Unlike Ian, who had turned off all summons to conceal his identity, why did Inisco appear in the battlefield after summoning all summoners?

Inisko despises the challenger?

Or is Inisco's head bad?

Of course not both.

This was because the 'Spirit's Seal’ content was originally designed to favor the challenger.

Unlike Ralph's group, who were forcibly summoned in combat and had all the battle gear and summoners set, Ian entered the waiting room.

In other words, Ian had time to prepare for battle and Ralph's group had none.

‘Hehe. My class is a summoner……. Can't predict that easily, right? ’

Ian analyzed a lot of information in his head in a short amount of time.

Then, in front of his eyes, a new system message began to emerge.

- Tyring!

- You have entered the duel room.

- The duel will begin shortly.

-All types of 'return’ skills and items are prohibited and cannot leave the battlefield until the end of battle. (Unable to log out)

In five seconds, the battle begins.

After -4 seconds, the fighter…….

After checking the message, Ian grips his hands once.

At the start of the battle, simulating in your mind how to move.

‘Start with the archers, boys. ’

And the moment the battle began.

“Magby, summon! ”

Ian's hand suddenly held a flaming longbow.

* * *

‘What is this...? ’

Challenger NPC (?), and Ralph was distracted by an unexpected attack.

Obviously, the opponent who thought it would be a wizard class suddenly fired a bow.

Of course, among the skills of the Wizard class, there is magic that can be used to summon the Longbow to shoot a Magic Arrow.

But like that madman, there was no magical bow that could be summoned without casting time.

What was that, an archer? And what's that weird fireball floating next to it? ’

Ralph looks confused and makes every effort to avoid the arrow.

If you think a little more calmly, you might have been able to recall the spirit magic, but Ralph was too distracted.

Ian's flying arrows were never greener.

Ping-Ping-Ping-Ping!

As if he had anticipated Ralph's movements, an arrow blazes from where he avoids the body.

It was like looking at a guiding arrow.

“Ahhhh…! ”

Purple-!

- "Challenger"? You took fatal damage from '!

- HP reduced by 789!

- "Challenger"? You took fatal damage from '!

-Power 452 Health!

- Reduces HP by 688!

Ralph's Life Gauge in a row, with system messages.

"Crazy, NPC subject. What's wrong with accuracy? ’

Ralph clenches his lips and looks at the message with a calm expression.

And I felt a little relieved.

Apart from his enormous archery, the damage was a bit more intense than I expected.

‘With a deal this big, it's okay to just give up avoiding and try to narrow the streets...! ’

But it didn't take long to realize that it was a mistake.

It was because the moment I gave my back to the arrow that flew away, a huge shock came from behind me.

Kuaang -!

- The "Inferno" sign has exploded.

- HP reduced by 4,179.

- The "Inferno" sign has exploded.

- HP reduced by 3,897

“ ……? ”

Ralph's transcendent life force is approximately 150,000.

But it was a story of a time when his life force was full, and his life force summoned in the middle of a battle was less than half that.

As soon as the battle started, I took more than 10,000 damage before 30 seconds had passed.

If he continues to attack at the same pace, he will be out of the game in two to three minutes.

What the hell? What's this deal all of a sudden? ’

Ralph's frightened gaze turns to Chesk and Inisko.

My order was twisted from the beginning, so I had to figure out what the two of them were doing.

* * *

LB's Kylan Monitoring Room is located deep underground in the Headquarters building.

And this was a restricted area that no one could enter.

That was the natural part.

This is because PCs in the Kylan Monitoring Room are entitled to freely view private footage of all users.

If all employees are able to access this site without difficulty, their personal information could be leaked externally.

Thus, it was only the monitoring team and a few planning teams that would normally be able to get into the monitoring room.

But like everything else, there was always an exception.

In the face of large-scale updates these days, some members of the marketing team were also given access to the monitoring room.

The reason was not other.

The marketing team needs to choose the sources to use for their promotional videos.

You could, of course, get it from the planning team or the monitoring team, but it was extremely inefficient.

Not only did they not find the video sources for the marketing team well enough to suit their tastes, the planning and monitoring teams were also busy with their work.

For that reason, there are now two designers from the marketing team sitting in the corner of the monitoring room.

One of them was Park Ki-hoon's former overseer of monitoring for the marketing team, and the other was his new assistant, Kim So-young.

“Let's see……. Looks like you got all the little footage now, huh, Soyoung? ”

“Yes, sir. It may require some understanding from these users, but it shouldn't be too difficult. ”

“Good. Now let's find the main sauce. ”

“Yep! Got it! ”

“You need to keep your eyes open and focus, Soyoung. We need at least two out of three main sauces by the end of the day. ”

In the words of Representative Park Ki-hoon, Kim So-young's eyes slightly widened.

Although she was a new hire, she knew how hard and difficult monitoring work was.

“Yes? It's a pile to monitor, is that possible? I thought I'd be lucky to find one today.... ”

At Soyoung's words, Representative Park Ki-hoon smiled and said.

“Huhu, Soyoung. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“How many times do you think I've done this since I joined the company? ”

“If I did this... …. ”

Towards her scratching the back of her head, Ki-hoon's words continue again.

“Updating content, creating a promotional video source. ”

“Oh, that's... I think you've done it about ten times. ”

Ki-hoon shakes his head.

“Ten times, maybe more than 20 times. ”

“Well, I see. But why is that...? ”

Towards the face of the mysterious, Ki-hoon smiled and said.

“Why? Why? I'm going to show you my know-how from now on. ”

“ ……! ”

“In one hour, let's pull out a stunning video first. ”

Ki-hoon's confident words greatly enlarged her eyes.

It was because if his promises were true, he would never have missed the know-how of the lawsuit.

Digging through the footage of Kailan's users to find a source that could be used for the main promotional footage.

If she could learn the tips to cut down on this hard work, she was willing to leave work today.

Ta-ta, ta-ta!

When the search engine on the monitoring PC was opened, it quickly started pounding the keyboard.

And moments later, Ki-hoon's monitor was flashing through the video of a user's playtime.

After checking the videos, Soyoung tilts her head and opens her mouth.

“Ian? This is the number one summoner, right? ”

“Yes. As expected, Soyoung, who doesn't play games, knows Ian Gode's ID. ”

“Well, it's not that long ago, but I've heard of Ian the most in the office. ”

“Hehe, well, that's obvious. ”

Kim Ki-hoon, who held his head, moved the mouse to open one image.

And at the top of the video, there was brief information about the video.

User ID: Ian

User IP: KR/453.217.11.375

User condition: Online

Play Time: One hour ago ~ Currently

View Point: The third person

Then a large screen in the monitoring room was filled with the shadow of a man.

And there were three other users lying around him helplessly.
