Taming Master

* * *

The dictionary meaning of the word 'crack’ refers to ‘any form of crack'.

And the sight that caught Ian's eye while he was moving along the map also had a shape that fully matched the meaning of the word.

‘If it wasn't an earthquake, I think I was hit by a carpet bomb...' ’

The land of the Dragon Spring that begins to split like a field divided by drought.

However, the first sights that came into Ian's eyes were just the beginning.

The more you move towards the center of the midheaven map, the more the ground splits apart.

If at first the shape of the split felt like a dense net, the greater the width and size of the destination, the larger it became, as if it were the Grand Canyon of the United States.

And the endless cliffs that run between the cracks made the seer feel tingly.

Wheeing.

Ian, on Iron's back, glances down the crack and double-checks the map.

“The coordinates clearly indicate that it's somewhere around here.... Where the hell is the Lafers' Tribe Node? ”

The map of the rift you received from Lugarix explains that there must be a Raffer Tribe Node where Ian has now arrived.

However, Ian could see nothing but empty ruins everywhere he looked.

“Mmmm... Did you misread the map? ”

After Ian's muttering, Caesar follows you on a pin and gives you a fin cup.

“You're lost, my lord. ”

Helheim, who was riding the mangle next to him, added a word.

“There's no sin in turning the road, Your Majesty. You could get lost. ”

However, Ian was not impressed by the pinzans of the two pretenders.

He thinks this place is clearly on the map.

“I'm not directing you.... ”

Ian tilts his head and looks down at the ground once more.

But then the next moment.

“ ……! ”

Ian's eyes slightly widened as he discovered something on the ground.

"Oh, what is that? ’

A strange whirlpool of light flashed into Ian's view.

More precisely, the vortex was swirling below the cracks, not above the ground.

And the moment after I realized that.

“Oh, it can't be down that cliff...? ”

Ian realizes something and quickly reaches back into the map of the crack.

And just like the swirl that you see at the bottom, when you touch the sparkling tribal node icon…….

Whoo-hoo!

With a small resonance sound, the map vibrates and the picture that was painted on the map begins to turn into a completely different picture.

“ ……! ”

And what appeared to me was a 'cross-sectional view’ of the crack, based on where he was now stationary on the Iron.

If a typical map was drawn with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis, this map was drawn with respect to the x-axis and the z-axis.

After checking the picture, Ian realized why it was a map of the cracks and that he could not find the Tribal Node even when he arrived at the correct coordinates.

“I knew it. I told you to go down there. ”

According to the map, the Node of the Lapir Tribe must be deep down the cliff to be found.

Ian quickly pulled the iron high and began to descend down to the crack, and the pin and the scabbard that burned the two heads also flew along Ian.

You little...!

And shortly after entering the crack, a new message appeared before Ian's eyes.

- Tyring!

- You discovered the ‘Northern Rift’ area in the Middle East for the first time.

-Respondence (transcendence) increased by 1,000.

- A new status will be created.

- Increases‘ Dimensional Magical Resistance ’by 5.

And Ian had to look suspicious when he saw the message.

Dimensional magical resistance? What the hell is this? ’

It was because a new stat was created that I had never seen before in the game.

‘Is this ability to reduce damage against attacks with dimensional magical power? ’

Ian, as in his name, simply guessed the purpose of his abilities.

At the next moment, Ian's eyes had to be wider.

-The enormous dimensional magical power created by the dimensional crack invades your entire body.

- All movement is 47.5 percent slower.

- All types of resistance are reduced by 28.5 percent, except ‘Dimensional horsepower resistance’.

It was because with a new message, I began to feel an unknown pressure that was pressing against my whole body.

* * *

The map structure of the crack was very unusual.

Fragmentally, it felt like a dungeon in an underground cave, but when I looked at the big structure, I felt like I had cobwebs tied together.

“To put it this way, I feel like my hands are glued together and then stretched out.... ”

A crack that is splitting open and creating endless depths of cliffs.

And there are many, many elongated structures in between.

Ian flies between them, restlessly moving Iron's heights, and begins to descend, adjusting gradually to the terrain and the environment.

But as powerful a debuff rests throughout the map, it has not been easy to adapt.

“My Movement Speed Debuff is killing me. ”

Ian grumbled and constantly descended for almost five minutes.

According to the coordinates indicated on the map of the rift, it was still a long time before we reached the Lafers' stronghold.

‘Because of the dimensional horsepower stat from the initial discovery, the debuff effect should have diminished a bit. ’

After a while, Ian, who was constantly going down, had no choice but to stop there by pulling on Iron's screech.

“Why are you suddenly stopping, Lord? ”

“What's the matter, Your Majesty? ”

In turn, stop next to Ian, and look around for Helheim and Kaisar.

Instead of answering their questions, Ian pointed his finger somewhere.

Then their gaze shifts towards you naturally.

Then the two pretenders who discovered something gave off elasticity at the same time.

“Oops!”

“Is that...? ”

And Ian's mouth, which was holding his gaze for a moment, began to open slowly.

“Those... Giants... ”

A sprawling plain that appeared on one side of the cliffs of a rift that I knew would run endlessly.

A great shadow of two spheres stands upon Ian's group's sight.

"This is a different level than the descendants of the Giants we've dealt with on the ground. ’

Ian looks away and sees a concise phrase floating on the heads of the two giants.

- Giant Scout: Lv. 55 (Transcension)

* * *

It is not the first time Ian has seen the Giants.

Of course, I had never met him in the middle, but I've dealt with him on the ground before.

‘Course, more accurately, it wasn't the Giants, it was their descendants. ’

Since there was a dungeon of the Giant Ruins Concept right near the core city of the Lotus Kingdom, Ian had already slaughtered many descendants of the Giants in the 200-300 levels.

It was not that surprising what the Giants looked like to Ian.

The only reason he was surprised was that it was several times larger than the size of the giants he had seen in the human world.

‘Obviously a pile of rubbish, but it's a dungeon boss figure of some kind. Skin color is red, and it feels similar to the soldiers from the Hero's Canyon... ’

Giant Scouts of enormous sizes remind me of the 'Khalifa’ I encountered in the last battle with the Horse Clan.

Even compared to ‘Thor’, Ian's greatest summoner, it seemed to be twice as big, so the size of the Giants had to be overwhelming by themselves.

Ian pulls the Iron Belt back and slowly moves closer to the Giant Scouts.

Caesar, who was following him, asks for Ian.

“Lord, should we get rid of them? ”

Ian nods at Kaisar's question.

“That's right. We have to kill them both. ”

The first of three quests that Ian received from Solvar, the Amphitheater.

In order to complete the "Defeat Giant Scout" quest, we needed three "Scout's Rope" items that were supposed to drop when we defeated them.

‘We need to get down to the Lafers' Node a little farther, so if we have a few more scouts on the way, we can complete the first quest quickly. ’

Ian swallows a dry saliva while observing the Giant scouts at a closer distance.

With a level of transcendence of 55 levels, it would have been a level of combat strength that would not be significantly different from the drakes of rock soup, and it would have been a level of rubbish that Ian could defeat in an instant.

Nevertheless, there were two reasons why Ian could not rush.

The first one was too big to bear.), the second is a powerful movement speed debuff wrapped around the body.

‘I don't care if the same scouts have this debuff, but if they don't, it could be a harder fight than I thought. ’

Therefore, Ian decided to take a walk before searching.

They first learned about their attack patterns or their unique abilities, then decided they needed to fight more carefully.

“Magby, summon! ”

So Ian put the spear from the forge in and summoned Magby in a long time.

Glug-ug-!

Of course, you would have to use spears that specialize in hunting habitat to do proper damage, but ranged weapons were advantageous during the first exploration.

And Ian decided to eliminate the other summoners or pretenders and attack the monsters by himself first.

‘No matter how fast you debuff, using Iron's unique abilities will make it easy for me to lose my body. ’

After the calculation, Ian opens his mouth to the goddesses.

“Kaisar, Helheim, you two come in on my signal. ”

“Take orders. ”

“I'll do that. ”

And as frightened as the two answers fall, they come out of the darkness like gunfire and begin to fly over the heads of the two giants.

‘Now, let's start with how deep the deal is. ’

Ian then, without hesitation, quickly bounced off the fiery bows in his hands.

- Tyring!

- You have chosen the 'House of the King of Hearts'.

- You have obtained the Seal of the Salt King.

- The buff effect from the tension will now be applied.

- If you achieve 1,000 Contribution Points in the Salt King's family, you can change the cooperative family.

-The seal's buff effect only lasts as long as the relationship with the family is maintained.

Aremis, a ranker of the United States servers and a finger-pointing user in the horseman knight class of all servers in the world.

After seeing the message in front of his eyes, he became a happy face.

‘Hehe, Kai would be at the machine's level by now, and Ryukchen would be in the command system. This must be the body that takes the first step into the Ziger. ’

Thinking about something for a moment, Aremis looks up at the giant giant giant giant figure sitting in front of his eyes.

A giant with an enormous body that can only make eye contact when you look up.

A heavy voice slowly begins to flow out of the giant's mouth when his eyes meet Aremis.

“Hehe, you chose the Salt King's family. ”

“Yes, Herbal Wine. ”

“Not a bad choice. They're brave enough, powerful enough. ”

Seeing the beggar nodding his head, Aremis begins to ask questions.

And the moment the conversation was over....

Whoo-hoo!

A large resonance resonates and the surrounding area of Aremis begins to envelop the red energy.

“At any rate, warrior, I hope you're lucky. With your bravery, you can be recognized as an ally by the House of the Salt King. ”

The giant's thick voice begins to turn dark in Aremis' eyes.

And the next moment…….

- Tyring!

In the darkened view of Aremis, several lines of system messages were generated in turn.

- He's in the jizzer.

- You are the first U.S. server to enter Ziziger.

-From now on, all EXP points and gained goods are doubled for 24 hours.
