Taming Master

* * *

In the middle of an isolated open space surrounded by cliffs.

Hundreds of heavenly soldiers in battle formation.

Ian is always preparing to pull the bow with moderate tension, and a system message echoes through the silence momentarily.

- The battle begins.

- Initiating phase one.

And as a signal, a disturbing resonance began to erupt across the quiet void.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

- The dimensional cavalry will be summoned.

After checking the message, Ian glances through the battlefield with an interesting look.

It was because evolution was increasingly exciting.

‘Dimensional Cavalry... ’

However, after checking out the enemies who appeared, Ian's face turned into a curious face.

Enemies summoned from all over the map with blue light seemed to be far from the magic system.

-Dimentary Cavalry/Lv. 10 (transcendent)

‘I heard you were fighting the Magic Cube. What happened? ’

Soldiers in heavenly armor surrounded by blue light.

At first glance, I didn't think they were the Mages.

The symbol of the Horseman is tangled skin and unique reddish-brown hair, because he was pale, not only because his skin was black but not white.

Of course, the skin was not very white, but the atmosphere itself was too different.

But I didn't have time to think anymore.

It was because the enemies were rushing towards the camp at incredible speed.

T-t-t-t-t-t-t!

In the rear of the heavenly army's camp, a great rumbling sound resounded.

“Destroy them with all your might! The Holy Father is with you!”

“Whoa!”

As the messenger of the commander Parker fell, the heavenly soldiers began to gather as if the whole world was about to die.

Then, at the forefront of Ian's 7th platoon, Lyciao stood.

Mark Oliver, who saw it, smiled and said to Ian,

“We can't just sit here, can we? ”

Ian also nodded with a pleasant smile.

“Of course.”

After a short conversation, the two of them bounced off the ground at the same time.

And then the next moment.

Weeing-!

The summoners were summoned all around Ian.

Gaaaaaa-!

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Starting with Rye and Holly, roaring into the battlefield, Karseus roars with his big mouth wide open.

Also, the Black Mane spread its wings and the Medium Flame Spirit Magby.

Ian, who quickly climbed on Harley's back, quickly pulled the bow.

Ping-Ping-Ping-!

Then, as always, the arrows that left Ian's archery stretched straight out, drawing a smooth curve.

Puff-puffk-!

And as soon as the arrows hit the enemy, Ian quickly checks the system messages.

- Critical damage to the dimensional horseman!

- Dimensional Cavalry HP reduced by 195.

- Reduces the health of 'Dimensional Cavalry’ by 177.

- Dimensional Cavalry HP reduced by 212.

The "Dimensional Cavalry" was Ian's first real opponent.

That's why Ian didn't have any information about his combat strength, how much damage he had to do to get rid of him.

This is why Ian shot an ordinary arrow without using spiritual magic.

Unlike Spirit Magic, where various formulas, such as Spirit Magic and Attribute Resistance, are complex to produce damage, a normal attack is only determined by physical and physical defense.

If you look at how much damage the equation deals with a simple, ordinary attack, you can estimate its approximate combat strength.

‘Hmm……. All transcendental levels are around 10, but in fact, the combat strength is a little higher. ’

Of course, the calculations were not completely accurate.

There are many variables.

But Ian's goal in the first place was to catch some sense.

It could have been achieved enough.

"If this is the difficulty of the Warrior Village, it's easier than I expected. ’

According to Ian, the combat strength of the dimensional cavalry was roughly similar to that of ordinary monsters on transcendent levels 12-13.

And at this level, it was a much easier difficulty compared to the contaminated mines.

Of course, Ian, who was not equipped properly, was much weaker than he was then, but it was worth taking into account.

‘Well, it's the first phase, so it's too early to be careless. ’

“Heave-ho!"

Ian, who jumped off Harley's back and climbed up to Finn, violently rises into the air.

I've confirmed that there are no ranged attackers among the Dimensional Cavalries, so there's no reason to stay on the ground anymore.

Queahooo-!

A pin that rises tens of meters in an instant while burning Ian.

As Ian pulls the lever, the pin turns rapidly to the side.

And in the meantime,

A red flame rose from Ian's hand.

It was Magby's power that triggered the Spirit Magic.

Glug-ug-!

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

Ian's flame longbow then began to emit a powerful flame.

Unlike the humble wooden arrows we just shot, it was a flaming fire surrounded by Crimson Flame.

The flaming arrows, filled with the power of intense flames, start pouring down on the dimensional cavalry.

Ping-Ping-Ping-Ping!

* * *

- Tyring!

- The transcendence level has risen.

-You have reached level 9 of transcendence.

Over the past week, Hun's mood has reached its peak.

It was because I received a gift from Ian that I had not thought of, that I reached transcendent level 9 at an incredible speed.

“Phew, those little chunks of scrap metal. Kneel before the forces of darkness! Kuhahaha!”

With a black staff that is larger than your height, the optic booth (?).

Hun, who was deeply narcissistic and enjoyed the joy of achieving level 9, stroked the staff with a careful hand.

Then, at both ends of the staff, a strange aura of dark and borate glow blooms.

- The Dark One's staff/only (transcendent)

- The staff used by the ancient evil Dark Mage Desert. Contains powerful dark forces.

And surprisingly, this staff rank was extremely ‘unique'.

Even Ian was truly surprised to see that there was no equipment of the only (transcendent) grade yet.

However, he could not have acquired such a precious item himself, even though he had not yet actually performed the intermediate content.

This staff, which was being loved by Hun, was a gift from Ian.

And the one who received the sudden gift from Ian was not just a hoon.

The Pantheon who was hunting with Hun was also wearing the leather armor he received from Ian.

“Hey, Hun. ”

“Why, brother? ”

“Where did Ian get these items? ”

“They picked it up. ”

“Do you believe that? ”

“If Ian had said it, I wouldn't have believed anything. ”

Momentary expression reminded me of that day.

- Hun, take this.

- Uh, staff? Is this good?

- I found it.

- Girl, why don't you give me what you found?

- Or not. Give me another guild member.

- Wait, wait, wait! But check out your options!

Hun, touching the skeleton symbol carved on the top of the staff, sighs of relief.

“If I hadn't received this from my brother, level 9 would have been too much this week.... ”

The Apostle who heard Hun's mumbling nodded and confronted him.

“Khh, I like what I got, but I'm pretty sure that staff is huge. ”

Unlike the staff he received, the leather armor he received was a rare (transcendent) grade.

Of course, it's a pretty great item, but there is a real difference from Hun's staff, which is the only (transcendent) grade.

Then, why did Ian distribute precious weapons to them?

If you put it in an auction house, it will be worth at least 10 million won, I don't know.

With the love of both of you more than anyone?

Or is that the kind of item that Ian doesn't care about?

Of course not.

Thousands, even Ian. I didn't just hand over items that might be worth a billion units.

Ian gave Hun this precious item for no other reason.

If this advanced weapon were to enter another guild in such a highly competitive situation, it could not be sold because there was nothing good about it for many guilds.

But a simple hunch and a shrew couldn't have done such a high-level thinking.

I was just impressed by the same grace as Ian's lower year.

Ian's Appendix No. 1 (? Hun's loyalty, known as), was strengthened by this event.

“Khh, Ian Godt! Loyal! ”

A lesson that reminds me of Ian with respectful eyes!

Hun's eyes, reading the Staff's Item Information window again, were filled with hearts.

So, Ian, when did he get these items?

As a matter of fact, this equipment was never picked up.).

Rather, the two pieces of equipment contained Ian's sad story.

Two transcendent equipment chests that Ian obtained by breaking the Spirit's Seal 15th Floor.

It was an open-source item.

I don't know what the sad story is, but Ian was sad enough.

We hoped that at least one of the two chests would be equipped for a Summoner.

Moreover, when the only grade that I did not have came out as a black wizard item, my stomach was not feeling well, so I was devastated.

Thanks to Ian, it was a message and a message that quickly reached transcendent level 9.

“Younger brother, this is not the time for us. ”

“Huh?"

“Let's go help Ian with the 10th, quick. ”

“Yes, Ian will be disappointed to know he's resting like this. ”

Together, they set out on a swift path to the next hunting ground.

* * *

Phew!

- You have successfully defeated the Dimensional Cavalry.

- You earned 1 point for Town of Heroes‘ Public Values.

- Increases Contribution Points of 7th Platoon by 10 points.

- You got 2 hero points.

A Dimensional Cavalry that disappeared into Ian's hands collapses into the air, leaving a white remnant.

And Ian, who defeated the first dimensional cavalry, carefully examined the emerging system messages.

‘Hero scores on public values……. Platoon Contribution Points must be related to Platoon advancement. I don't think the experience will rise.... ’

After a while, Ian's eyes became small.

It was because the shape of the Dimensional Guard, which had been smashed into Ian's hands and scattered into the air, was sucked into something with a white light.

Shya-!

Sucking out the defeated dimensional horseman is nothing but a ‘dimensional mirror’.

However, the dimensional mirror was sucked not only by the dimensional cavalry that Ian defeated.

Every dimensional cavalry killed on the battlefield was sequentially sucked into the mirror.

Moreover, the souls of the dimensional cavalry who were sucked into the mirror were reflected in the mirror and gathered together and flew away somewhere.

And when Ian found it, he started rolling his head hard.

In the meantime, of course, your hands and feet move hard.

‘What? Why is that mirror sucking out the subjugated dimensional soldiers? And send them where? ’

Ian's gaze was toward the metal plate directly beneath the dimensional mirror.

It reminded me of a simple phrase:

- remaining dimensional infantry: 95

- The remaining heavenly host: 99

‘So far, I've killed five and one is dead. ’

But that's when it happened.

Whoo-hoo!

There was a big wave in the sky of the battlefield, and somewhere in the sky, a beam of light flew and struck the mirrors of the dimension.

And the beam of light that hit the mirror split and shot across the battlefield.

Wii-wii-wii-wii!

Later on, new dimensional cavalry was summoned.

“What?”

Ian was embarrassed.

It's because there was no way of knowing what the mirror was doing with just this series of situations.

Moreover, due to the dimensional cavalry you just summoned, the battle is back to square one.

- remaining dimensional force: 100

- The remaining heavenly host: 99

"No, isn't that the origin? Since an ally is dead... ’

Ian shakes his head.

Ian found that white light came down when the corpse was absorbed, and red light came down when a new dimensional cavalry was summoned.

Moreover, if the battle continues this way, the heavenly army will eventually be wiped out.

As long as there are new dimensional horsemen as we continue to defeat them.

‘What? If you keep doing this, the battle will never end. ’

In a situation you don't understand, Ian has a beautiful face!

But it was Ian's misconception that as much as we got rid of it, it was new.

About five more minutes later, there was a number on the metal plate that I didn't understand.

- remaining dimensional infantry: 101

- Heaven's Army Remaining: 92

The remaining number of dimensional horsemen is more than the first time.
