Taming Master

* * *

A mine deep in a dimensional forest.

Several users were making tense expressions inside the cave where the veins were located.

Their faces were covered in sweat, whether they had been in a fierce battle.

After a while, they gathered at the entrance and began to speak in a voice.

“Khh, I think there's only one entrance to the vein. ”

“You got it right this time. I can mine here safely. ”

“Come, let's hurry before the monsters arrive. It's been about 10 minutes since Dimensional Energy was created, so the four of us need to rotate around and guard the entrance for five minutes. ”

“Great. That gives us about 15 minutes of mining time per person. With any luck, you can mine up to two Magic Stones. ”

“What are the two? I wish I had one. If I can't fly it again, it will be really dangerous.... ”

Users who exchange opinions and quickly move into their respective positions.

Among the users who started mining in a hurry, there was also a 'hun' who entered the Raid Map first.

‘Whew, I thought this was just a Nogada quest, but I never thought it would be this hard. ’

It's been more than four hours since Hun's party entered the Raid Map.

But there were only two magic stones that Hun could mine.

Less than 8 hours until the map closes in the future, and even if it doesn't, four more Magic Stones have to be mined to meet the minimum requirements to complete the quest.

If we don't get the Magic Stone Mining Face up, even the minimum conditions will be difficult to meet.

Even with Hun mining the most magic stones in the party, you can only guess how difficult the quest is.

‘Ian's Mine.) It's a pity I've had the experience.If I was mining for the first time, I would have failed the quest from day one. ’

At Ian's Mine in the Magic Cube, he often helped (?) Ian's obedience.

Therefore, the mining skills of Hun were fairly good.

Boom, boom, boom!

Hun's pickaxe gives a cheerful sound and pounds the stone walls of the Elder Cave.

And I looked at him like I was jealous of one of the users next to me.

“Hun is a Black Wizard Class.How can you be so good at pickaxing? ”

Yuica, a blonde female user with a cute appearance who used to play the role of "Medic" in the Heavenly Army Faction on the battlefield.

In her question, Hun's sheep cheeks turn red.

“Haha, haha. I met Ian's slave once... No, that's not it. There's nothing the Monarch of Darkness can't do. ”

It was like the first time I spoke to a living creature called a woman, and I could not help but flinch my whole body like the engineering student I had left behind.

Then, how come the Hun, who used to talk freely with female users, is so stiff?

The reason was simple.

Hun fell in love with Ryoka at first sight.

‘You're so pretty...! ’

In fact, there were a lot of female users around Hun who did not find the modifier word 'beauty’ strange.

Starting with the Vice Guild Master of Lotus, Fioran, Ian's girlfriend Harin. And Lemir, the Madosan of Crimson Flame.

Plus, there were a lot of pretty girls among the guild members, so it was a flower garden (?).

But until now, Hun has never thought of anyone as beautiful.

In order for him to fall in love, he was too old for female users around him.

Besides, everyone treats me like a kid, so I can't get rid of my feelings until I get rid of them.

But Ryoka was different.

Although he seemed to be two or three years older than Hun, he was still worthy of being called a ‘brother-in-law.’

Moreover, unlike the little sisters who treated him like a child, I gave Hun the sarcophagus, which was the first time in his life that he was hairy.

“There's nothing that Hun can't do. I need to learn how to mine next to Hun. ”

Ryoka sits next to Hun, smiling, and starts pickaxing.

Looking at her like that, Hun clenches his two fists.

‘Yes, I will carry a giant Raid of this dimension. I can't give up on Ian this time. ’

The message of finding the confidence that was lost in the battle of God's words with the power of love again.

Hun fuels his passion and starts pickaxing again.

Boom, boom, boom!

Ian may have entered this forest as a Elite Soldier by now.

But even so, it's definitely not easy to complete the quest on your own.

Luckily, if you meet the users who entered first or work with the subordinates, you'll have a good chance of failing to complete this quest on your own.

‘What is Ian doing right now? You must be on the map by now. ’

But the more I thought about Ian, Hun fell into an unknown anxiety again.

‘No way...... You haven't started mining already, have you? ’

Hun suddenly wondered what Ian was doing right now.

However, there was no way to track Ian's progress as long as he was on this radar map.

Once you enter the ‘Forest of Dimensions’ map, all kinds of messages are blocked.

‘Gasoline, yes. Let's just work hard at my job, not caring about Ian. At least until today, my Contribution Points will be higher. ’

Soon as he calms down, he starts focusing again on pickaxing.

And the moment Hun fell into a trance.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully mined the ‘Dimensional Magic Stone'!

- You currently have a Magic Stone of Dimension: 3/6

A line of system messages cheers Hun up.

* * *

Monsters living in a dimensional forest like dimensional magic.

That was because it was their energy source.

Forest monsters evolve into more powerful monsters as they consume dimensional magical minerals.

And monsters that consume as much dimensional magical power as possible, once again, become the prey of giants.

- So when enough dimensional magic gathers, the sleeping giant wakes up.

Ian's mouth was filled with a pleasant smile after reviewing Tiber's story.

‘Hehe, as expected……. My guess was right. ’

Ian reaches the mine at the western end of the forest by following the 'Dimensional Evil' found on the move.

And now Ian's gaze is towards a mini-map that is floating in one corner of his vision.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

With a small resonance, the five blue energies that were rising on the mini-map blur and fade away.

The blue energy that disappeared then began flashing slowly from a new position again.

And one of the five blue lights was shining brightly over the vein where Ian was now arriving.

In this vein that Ian arrived in advance, dimensional magical powers were created.

‘These demons knew where dimensional magic was moving. ’

Ian was here because he was chasing evil spirits.

Looking at the demons moving frantically towards somewhere, they assumed that they were moving towards the direction in which the dimensional magic was moving.

And in the process of chasing evil spirits, there was also one more analogy.

That is, only a ‘dimensional evil spirit’ among monsters can feel the movement of dimensional magic ahead of time.

Unlike the crazy spirits moving towards the empty western mine, the next monsters were already moving to a mine filled with dimensional magical power, so we can only assume that ‘spirits’ predict the movement of dimensional magical power.

And Ian's assumptions, as you can see, were exactly right.

‘Khh, if we use this fact well, we can save a lot of time. ’

Knowing which veins a dimensional magical force will travel to can have enormous advantages in carrying out a quest.

If we wait for it to be mined in a vein where the magic will manifest, we can save about 10 minutes.

Since the magic only lasted 30 minutes in the vein, that 10 minutes was a huge difference.

‘I should give orders to Kaka to go look for evil spirits. This way we can move around and mine without wasting time. ’

An unexpected discovery made Ian feel much better.

"Here, we got lucky from the start. ’

This, of course, was discovered by Ian's careful movements, but he couldn't ignore the coincidence.

If the monster Ian first met wasn't evil, there's a good chance he wouldn't have noticed this.

Even these tricks were part of the mindset of the creators who developed the content.

The planners had only created these elements to move the monsters sequentially.

It was just that the speed at which monsters respond to dimensional magical forces was different, but it was hard to imagine that there would be a user who would use that difference to target quests, like Ian.

After all, Ian felt better about the unexpected harvest, and without hesitation went inside the mine.

Inside the mine, the evil spirits pouring in were feeding off the mines in a frenzy.

‘You're eating like crazy. ’

But the funny thing was, they were too distracted to absorb the mineral and didn't even bother to look at Ian.

‘If this is the case... Can we mine the ore without fighting these guys? ’

However, Ian's expectations were quickly broken.

The moment Ian pulled out his pickaxe to mine for minerals, the demons revealed their hatred.

“Hoo, you pigs. You don't want to lose your bowl. ”

Ian smiles and puts the pickaxe back into his inventory.

And it equipped the 'Lord of Heavenly Dragon Warriors' item that I had made earlier.

“Good. Let's wipe them out first, and I'll start mining, too?" ”

Then the demons that recognized Ian as the enemy slowly began to approach him, surrounding him.

However, Ian's expression was relaxed.

PVE against many common field monsters was Ian's specialty.

Glug-ug-glug!

Ghosts pouring strange tears and pushing Ian into a corner.

But in that moment,

“ ……! ”

I remembered a message in front of Ian that I hadn't even thought of.

- The power of the dimension begins to rise through the veins.

- The amount of magical power in the mine has reached its limit.

- Epic Monster ‘Magic Iron Worm’ awakens.
