Taming Master

* * *

According to Camille, in order to proceed with the warrior ritual, we have to go to the altar of consciousness.

“If you go to the altar, the trust will descend from the gods. ”

“What kind of trust? ”

“We don't know that. ”

“ ……? ”

“God does not grant the same trust to all. ”

“Does everyone have a different sense of heroism? ”

“Not very different, but not the same. ”

“What the……. ”

“You'll see when you see it. ”

After speaking, Camille leaves the barracks without delay.

Ian also walked out straight after him, and as soon as he left the barracks, he saw a huge dragon in his eyes.

Grrrrrrr.

A dragon that looks bigger than Carseus, whose body is covered with shiny, white scales.

Camille casually climbed on the back of the dragon and told Ian.

“What are you doing? Get in the car. ”

“ ……? ”

“We'll ride this one to the altar of consciousness. ”

Ian, who was riding on his back, which seemed somewhat excessive for transportation, looked up to the face of the dragon.

‘He's definitely bigger than Carseus or El...' Why do I look lower in rank? ’

In Kailan, the higher the grade, the more glamorous the dragons will look.

And the most eye-catching of them were the bone boards raised on his back and the horns raised on his head. This giant white dragon's horn and bone plate was clearly below the legendary grade.

‘Could it be that they are bigger and lower grade? ’

In general, the higher the grade, the more glamorous and huge the dragon became, so Ian puzzled his head.

But he couldn't continue his worries that long.

Flash-!

A great white dragon spreading its wings suddenly soared into the sky.

“Oh!”

Ian's eyes slightly widened, surprised by the instant speed.

Camilles looks back at him and opens her mouth in a voice.

“You better hold on tight. He's a lot faster than you think. ”

Ian wrapped his arms around one of the bone plates on the dragon's back and grabbed it tightly, following Camille's advice.

And almost simultaneously, the white dragon of Camilles began to fly at an enormous speed.

You little... you little...

The sound of waves pouring into Ian's ears as if he were tearing the wind and flying.

Ian hardly even knew where he was headed, because the dragon had already been up on the clouds.

Having never seen the ground.

‘Well, I think we're heading west...' ’

And so, what, about 10 minutes ago?

In Ian's vision, when there was nothing but black night sky, he began to see a distant blue light.

A pointed spire splattered through the clouds.

And the blue swirls wrapping around it.

Ian could intuitively see that this was a warrior's altar.

Whoo-hoo!

After a while, Ian arrived just in front of the spire, and he was surprised again.

I thought it was a high spire rising from the ground because I could see the sharp roof, but it was a building built on an airborne island.

What happens if you fall down here? ’

Ian, who had never thought so carelessly, followed Camirez down the island with a small stream of vanity.

Camirez faced Ian and said in a thick voice.

“It's up to you now. ”

“Camirez, aren't you going in with us? ”

In Ian's question, Camirez nodded and replied.

“Yes. The ritual of a warrior is a test you must overcome alone." ”

“Crucible.... I see.”

“Good luck, Ian. I'm sure you'll make it through the ceremony successfully, but vigilance is forbidden. ”

“Haha, careless. I'm sure it will. ”

After a short goodbye, Camirez immediately returned on his way to the White Dragon.

And looking behind him for a moment, Ian suddenly walked toward the building.

On Ian's face as he moved, there was an expectation.

* * *

One small box I received from Camille's barracks.

The box was embossed with a golden glow. It seemed to contain something great at first glance.

‘Hmm, let's see what this is before we get started. ’

Ian was going to check the box before entering the altar.

I didn't know how the Warrior Ritual was going to proceed, but I thought it would be better to keep it with you if I had anything useful.

But the next moment, Ian was embarrassed.

It was because the box that I was trying to open without thinking about opened was not open fully closed.

Instead of opening the box, I only think of two lines of system messages that I don't understand.

- The conditions are not met.

-Can 't open the crate.

“ ……? ”

Ian looks at the information pane in the box and finds out why.

The "conditions" that were not met were written in the information window of the box.

- Camille's Golden Chest

Rating: unknown

Classification: General Goods

A noble position as commander of the Heavenly Army faction and commander of the White Dragon Guard, Camilles.

There must be something special in this box that he loves.

If you want his help, open this chest.

* Can only be opened during the "Ritual of Warrior" process.

* This item belongs to the user ‘Ian’.

Not transferable to another user or available for sale, and will not be dropped even if the character dies.

‘I've never seen anything like it. ’

In Ian's mind, reading the information window, I remembered what Camille said before leaving the barracks.

- When the crisis comes, open the chest.

- Crisis...?

- Literally. If you open that box when you encounter a difficult obstacle, it will be of little help.

‘That's what it meant. ’

Ian smiles and puts the box back in his inventory.

Then he took a step toward the inside of the altar without foolishness.

Squawk-!

A subtle blue glow emanating from the deep darkness.

And the white wax that surrounds the blue light.

Ian raised his eyes and examined the blue glow.

Then I could see what it was, not difficult.

‘Blue statue...... Isn't this it? ’

A blue statue, translucent and resplendent like a crystal.

The statue holds a long sword in its right hand and a firm looking shield in its left hand.

Ian finds it, and starts to approach it cautiously.

But in that moment,

- Tyring!

A new system message appeared before Ian's eyes.

- I've entered the altar of consciousness.

- Analyze user information.

- Username: Ian

- Class: Warrior

- Transcension Level: 20

-Class: Summoner (Taming Master)

…… Snapshot……

The message that popped up in Ian's eyes, as if he had turned on the status window.

Ian's eyes slightly widened in a situation he did not expect.

Why are you suddenly analyzing user information? ’

And after a while, Ian's mouth became elastic.) was forced to leak out.

“Cough...! ”

It was because the line that came up at the end of the messages hit Ian's back head strongly.

-Analyzes combat strength based on rank and transcendence level.

-Generates challenges based on combat strength.

- User ‘Ian’ 's Trial Grade: SS

"Crazy, where is this stuff? ’

According to the system message, the difficulty of the warrior's consciousness will increase in proportion to transcendent levels.

Since everyone in the rank was a 'warrior’ and would challenge this ritual, the criterion for lowering the test rank would be transcendent.

As Ian raised transcendence level to 20 deliberately before entering the consciousness, he must be embarrassed.

I came back from being poisoned because I worked hard to level up.

‘Phew, there must be a difference in clearance rewards based on rank, right? ’

Ian frowns because he looks unfair.

However, Ian was not given any time to complain.

I remembered another system message in front of Ian as I was about to whine.

- Go to the Statue of the Warrior inside the Altar.

-Put your hand on the 'Dimensional Crystal’ in front of the Statue of Warrior to begin the ritual.

‘The blue statue must have been the statue of a warrior. ’

Ian's gaze naturally returned to the statue once he saw the message.

Precisely the size of the soccer ball that was floating in front of it was fixed towards a blue crystal.

You want me to put my hands there? ’

Ian swallowed a dry saliva, slowly approaching him.

And without hesitation, you raise your right hand to the crystal.

Then, with a low resonance, the crystal begins to emit light.

Whoo-hoo!!

Before Ian's ears, a thunderous voice began to spread.

- Good to see you, hero.

“ ……! ”

- I will put you through a trial of your own accord.

“No, I think it's easier than that……. ”

- Yeah, I'd like to be a dragon.

“Yes?”

- Warrior, I will put you through the first trial.

“No, you know what? I mean, can you hear me? ”

- Find Draco and capture him, he will send you to Mercury.

And in front of Ian's eyes was finally created the Ritual of Warrior Quest window.

- Tyring!
