Taming Master

* * *

At present, Ian had about three options to reduce the damage of the fire attributes.

The first is flame resistance, the most common option that can be easily obtained by anyone.

The second is to nullify flame damage, an option next to Lemir's Igrat Armor.

Finally, the option next to the lava boots, "Fire damage absorption."

These three options also apply separately.

That is, it is applied as a product operation, not as an addition operation.

Ian now has 15 percent invalidation and 10 percent damage absorption at 55 percent of the baseline fire resistance, so he can absorb about 65 to 66 percent of the fire damage.

If it's calculated by simple addition and subtraction, it's almost 80 percent, but in this case, the multiplication system, the Kailan system, it's a loss.

However, this was a bit higher damage reduction than Lemir, the Fire Sorcerer's Saw Ranker, so you can see how well Ian was prepared.

“Ian, how are you holding up? ”

“Not yet.”

“I'm glad the monsters are weak at the beginning, but it will definitely be difficult if we go in a little further. ”

“Have you brought enough potions, Sis? ”

“Of course. I don't have a priest, but I'd better bring some potions. ”

The appearance of a fearsome lava dungeon that was not awkward enough to use the modifier word "hell."

Once intrigued into the dungeon, the ancient dungeon, the 'Lava Land’, was never a viable place.

‘Seeing the lava sponges pour out from the beginning, I'm sure it's a concept map similar to the lava field in the valley of the warriors. ’

Ian remembers the lava land he attacked in the canyon, and he can guess which monsters to deal with in the near future.

It made it possible to assess how difficult the difficulty would be going forward.

‘Even the sponges can hunt without much damage, but it's hard when the squeezes start appearing……. ’

If the only monster pressing in quantity through its' proliferation ’characteristic is a lava sponge, the lava squeezes are a little dirtier (?) were monsters.

Magma Water Gun (?), it was because the hard-earned ‘fire resistance’ level ate the debuff.

It is even applied as an overlapping debuff up to three times, and if it does, 55 percent of the flame resistance will be cut in half.

In this dungeon, the attack was more terrifying than any debuff.

“Sis, when you squeeze out, you know you have to cut them first, right? ”

“Of course.”

Lemir had already experienced the Lava Zone like Ian had, so he immediately understood.

Slurp! Slurp!

Pung-punk-!

The two people who go deeper into the dungeon as they quickly organize the sponges coming up the stairs, panting and panting.

Ian is looking carefully at the structure of the dungeon as he slashes the sponges.

You can't let go of the string of tension because you don't know which variable will pop up suddenly.

‘I don't think it's this simple dungeon.... There must be some trick...... ’

And did Ian get that right?

Just behind Ian, Lemir, who was coming down the stairs, suddenly calls out to Ian pointing somewhere.

“Ian. Hey...! ”

Ian then turned his gaze to where Lemir was pointing, with two eyes open.

The stairs, which seemed to lead to the basement, finally came to an end.

“That's where it all started. ”

“Yeah, I can feel it. ”

Moreover, at the end of the stairwell was an iron door engraved with a mysterious golden glow, and before it was a circular red crystal made of boiling lava.

Something special is going to happen.

Boom-boom-!

Queeeek!

Increasingly motivated by the appearance of mysterious content, Ian and Remir killed dozens of blocking sponges in an instant.

After clearing the space, the two of them jumped down the staircase as loudly as they could and came to the floor.

Blame-!

The event then began, as both of you suspected, as they approached the lava crystals.

- Tyring!

- The conditions are met.

- The ancient Magma Crystal is responding.

Lava Crystal that starts a raging flame with two simple lines of system messages.

“ ……! ”

Ian and Remir, who saw it, had no choice but to flinch.

A lava stalk appearing out of nowhere with a huge heat wave, and it felt instantly threatened.

However, the two of them, who were ready to blow themselves up, were soon able to sweep their chests down.

It was because the flaming energy from the crystal did not shoot at them.

The trunk of the flame rose into the air and was seared by the golden symbol engraved on the iron gate.

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk!

“Oh…? ”

From Ian's mouth, who was watching it carefully, elasticity leaked out without my knowledge.

It was because the symbols that responded to the fire poured out flashy light and began to produce new golden symbols around the location where the original symbols had been engraved.

“What's with all the glamour? ”

“I see. This is half the anxiety I was expecting.... ”

And after a while.

Kung-!

Whether they used up all their energies or lost their power, Magma Crystal disappeared…….

Crisp!

A total of ten new symbols, the size of the palm of the hand, were created on the iron door that drew its power.

Ian and Lemir approach him slowly, as if they were seduced by something.

“Can I open this and go in? ”

“Well, what does this new pattern mean? ”

Standing in front of an iron gate, two people carefully observe the symbols.

Then a new system message began to come to mind, as if it had caught your curiosity.

- Ancient Lava Ground has been unsealed.

-Select the desired ancient artifact (palm on top of the symbol).

- Depending on the selected artifact, you will be directed to a map where you can obtain the equipment.

“Ancient artifact? ”

The unexpected system message, Lemir with his eyes wide open.

But unlike her, Ian was immediately able to figure out what this message meant.

Ian was observing the golden symbols more closely than Lemir.

“Sis, look here. If you look closely, each of the symbols has a different piece of equipment. ”

“Oh, yeah? ”

“Here's a pattern that looks like my shoes.... ”

After hearing Ian's words, Lemir began to look at the engraved symbols one by one, drawing a circular circle on the iron gate.

And like Ian said, the ten symbols depicted different "equipment items."

“First of all, I think this is a great sword, this is a helmet, this is armor.... ”

“Here's a cape. I have a cane and a robe... ”

Ian, who examined all the symbols one by one, became an interesting face.

There were about five items I had already seen in Hero's Canyon, but there were also items I had never seen before.

‘The Lava Set effect ends in five sets, but there are ten different kinds of equipment. ’

And Ian and Remir's expression became very discreet.

We still don't know whether we can farm all that lava equipment or get it selectively, but it was clear that the opportunity to obtain a certain type of equipment was a very important choice.

“Sis.”

“Huh?"

“Maybe she wants a cane, huh? ”

With Ian's question, Remir nods and answers.

“I guess so. There's a good chance of higher performance equipment than the legendary rank, so why not switch weapons first? ”

Ian nods, hearing Lemir's answer.

I understand what she's saying.

But still, I didn't agree with her choice.

“Sis, you trust me, right? ”

“What in the world...? ”

“What we need is not a cane, but a cloak, sister. ”

“Huh?"

“We both need to choose a map of the cloak. ”

Ian spoke in a very determined manner, which he was confident was driven by deliberate deadlines.

Ian turns to Lemir, slightly bewildered.

“In order to get through this dungeon to the end, the most important thing is to reduce the fire damage. ”

“We're not talking about prolonging the deal, we're talking about securing stability. ”

“That's right."

Ian nods and calmly persuades Lemir.

“I know a little bit about Lava equipment, don't I? ”

“Yes. I've been farming in the Valley of the Warriors. ”

“Of course, some of the equipment I've never seen before, but I can draw a rough picture. ”

“So?”

“All other equipment, of course, has excellent performance, but those lava cloaks specialize in fire-resistance. ”

When Ian attacked Lava Land in the Canyon of Heroes, the first piece of equipment he acquired was the cloak of Lava.

As a result, Ian remembered very precisely the options of his cloak.

Thirty percent to negate fire damage, 15 percent to absorb all kinds of damage……. I mean, I definitely remember these two options. ’

If Ian gets this cloak in his current situation, the amount of damage absorption of about 65 percent will increase dramatically by 80 percent in the early days.

Even though it could not reach much with just a simple number, it was a huge difference even if I thought about it.

The fire damage that is continuing to come in at this moment will be reduced by almost half.

And after hearing Ian's explanation, I couldn't help but accept his argument.

“Hehe. I'm sure I'll get my cape first. ”

“Don't be so sad, Sis. I don't think there's a single kind of artifact that I can get here. ”

“Okay, I get it. ”

Ian and Remir, who clearly made their choice, slowly approached the iron gate.

Lemir first brings his hand to the golden pattern of a golden cape that glitters in gold.

- Whoo-hoo!

At the same time, Lemir's new brother disappeared to the ground....

Fath-!

Ian also put his hands on the same spot without hesitation.

‘Even with a cape, the difficulty of feeling will be halfway down. One more set of helmets or armor here and we're done. ’

Ian is constantly rolling his head, even before he enters the event map.

And at about the same time, Ian's eyes began to turn white.

- You have selected 'Gateway to Fireworks’.

-Go to the map.
