Taming Master

- The conditions are met.

- Proceed to Gate Waiting Room.

Ian and Lemir's vision brightens with two clean lines of message.

And what they came to see was a familiar view of the waiting room.

In the waiting room, Lemir's voice echoes in joy.

“Aja, I've unlocked all the set effects! ”

Lemir is a flamethrower.

It is also a powerful dealer-type flamethrower, specializing in extreme deals and wide area deals.

Because of that, the set effects of the lava set were more precious to her than any of the options.

“Ian, look! Twenty percent flame retail amplification in this lobe! ”

“I'm watching, Sis. ”

“Plus, if you combine all 5 set effects...! Crazy, crazy. Fifty more Dilemma Flame Boosts, up to 50 Chips. ”

“I see.”

“DPS is almost twice the difference before and after Lava Sets. ”

“Aren't you happy?”

“Of course!”

“Thanks, right?"

“Of course!”

“Then start carying for the guild party tomorrow. I'll melt even Giants to transcendence level 70. ”

“Khhh! Happy to imagine! Happy to imagine! ”

Unlike Ian, who's already seen some of the effects of the Lava Set, Lemir has won all the sets in one day.

She was running around the waiting room, feeling delighted, and Ian was working on his smile.

Ian wasn't happy either, but unlike Lemir, he was happy.

It was a pity that he blew away Lava's armor because he couldn't catch the Rava Dragon in the first try, and it was a pity that he couldn't capture him in the end.

‘Gas, well, let's hope there's another chance to catch the lava dragon. ’

Ian and Remir check the remaining potions, finishing up shortly before returning to the entrance.

Since the battle had just begun with a lot of Rava Dragon life, it wasn't that hard, so there wasn't much to repair.

Then the two of them stood in front of the iron door.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Suddenly, a huge resonance echoes through the iron gate, and the shifting beam of light begins to be sucked in.

Kuaaaa!

And while watching it, Remir and Ian became interesting faces.

“Oh!”

“What is it?”

The red lights that were sucked through the iron gate began to glow burning red light as they infiltrated the remaining Lava equipment patterns.

New effects and appearances you haven't seen in challenges so far.

And this was a forecast of any dynamic change that anyone could see.

“Does this mean more difficulty? ”

“There's a good chance of that, isn't there? ”

The two people who were confused with tension and excitement watched it quietly until the choreography was complete.

Finally, a new system message appeared before the eyes of the two men as the golden carriage seeped into the iron gate.

- Tyring!

- We've defeated the Lava Land, all the gatekeepers.

- The conditions are met.

-Hidden Challenge Opportunities are opened.

Whoa!

The emergence of exciting system messages that make you sufficiently absorbed.

The equipment symbols of the lava, which appeared to have stopped quietly, began to move on the disc.

Thump, thump, thump!

The four symbols that Ian and Remir had chosen were engraved in a pulsating circle, leaving a missing spot, and they were gathered together in a small circle at the center of the disc like puzzle pieces.

A sword and bow shining in a golden disc, and the symbol of the staff and shoes.

Ian and Remir's gaze was fixed on the four flashing symbols of red light, at which point the system message resumed.

- From now on, you can earn 'Enhanced Lava Gear’.

- Remaining challenges: 4 times

-If you exhaust all opportunities or succeed in the challenge, you will no longer be able to challenge the land of lava.

- If you give up the challenge and go outside the land of lava, you will never be able to challenge it again.

…… approximate……

- In the challenge from now on, if you don't ‘die’, the challenge opportunity will not be wasted.

-The challenges will no longer accumulate damage to the gatekeeper.

- Whichever pattern you choose, you will be taken to the "Inferno of Destruction" Gateway.

After checking all the system messages, Ian and Remir suddenly became dumbfounded.

Every single one of the contents of the message was very dramatic.

In particular, the word 'enhanced lava equipment’ was not a word too alluring to two people.

“Enhancing Legendary Grade Transcendent Equipment... Does that mean you can get any Mythical Transcendent Equipment?" ”

“I think so. ”

“Crazy, man. ”

Ian glances at the four glowing symbols one by one.

I even confirmed the friendly message that the two chose different patterns to enter the same gate, so the selection almost eliminated the restrictions.

‘It's a million times better to get one piece of equipment as a myth than to get all four pieces of equipment as a legend. ’

Ian began to ponder.

It was a matter of choosing a staff without thinking about it, but in Ian's case, I had to worry between the Great Sword and the Bow.

Can't you preview your performance and options? If I read the information pane, I think I can choose without foolishness……. ’

A long time ago, Ian was impaired in choice, scratching his back head and staring at two different symbols, and Lemir began to rush towards him.

“What are you thinking about that's not like you? Choose quickly.”

And the next moment, Ian closed his eyes tightly and raised his palms.

‘Yes. I guess you won't regret choosing a higher bow even if you're a little skillful. ’

Ian and Remir put their hands on the disc simultaneously.

- The party member ‘Ian’ chose the ‘Lava Longbow’ pattern.

- The party member 'Remir’ has chosen the 'staff of lava’ pattern.

Then the two unselected symbols disappeared into the air, burning white, and the two selected symbols were engraved on the iron gate, cutting the disc in half.

And after a while.

Whip, whip, whip!

Heh-heh-heh!

A huge iron door that had been tightly closed until now began to open to both sides, making a loud noise.

- You have entered the Gateway to the Inferno of Destruction.

- Gateway Breach Timeout: 3,000 sec.

- You earned the title 'Challenger of Extreme Heat'.

…… Snapshot……

* * *

Anxious (?) Monitoring room of a noisy planning team due to employee chatter.

But when the battle between Ian and Lemir started again, the boy calmed down like he had promised.

Anxiety over the night is also anxious, but apart from him, I was wondering how Ian and Lemir would attack the Gateway to this hellish difficulty.

‘It's not just the name of hell. ’

Najchan and the Planning 3 team think it's a hidden gateway on a truly ‘infernal’ difficulty.

It was a gateway designed to show you hell if a user found it one day, but now it feels like a planning team has entered hell.

The point where the gateway was discovered too quickly was also a problem, but the biggest problem was that the gateway was opened at the point where four challenges were left.

‘Phew, I can't manage the difficulty level for Ian separately... ’

Top tier rankers like Ian have always been a problem for the planning team.

Considering their abilities, I couldn't help but raise the difficulty level.

Because the more difficult the difficulty, the better the reward.

In fact, this Hellfire Gateway was also designed to be much more difficult than the planning intentions of the original planning team.

So at this point, the mythological grade of transcendent equipment would never appear as a reward.

‘It was God's move to keep the boss from accumulating damage. If the settings were to accumulate damage according to the original rules.... Ian must have cleared it in four trials. ’

Instead of the rule of "boss damage accumulation" disappearing, the gate failing conditions were also mitigated.

If we do not die at the gate after some time has passed, we will not be judged as failures.

If you don't actually die, you can try indefinitely.

But even so, it must have been much harder to clear than the original rules.

No matter how hard you struggle with your specs and skills, there are only one things that can't be cleared.

Moreover, in order to raise the spec and not enter the gate again, once you leave the land of lava, the opportunity has been set to vanish, so this gate must have been tightly sealed to never be easily cleared.

‘Ian chose the bow, and Lemir chose the staff. If those two get enhanced lava equipment, the lifespan of intermediate content will decrease by two months. ’

According to Najchan, the situation was halfway through.

Even if Ian had to die in the first trial, he had a very high chance of figuring out how to survive without dying during the second trial.

Once he was able to survive without dying for a limited time of 50 minutes, the number of trials approached infinitely, and Ian was clearly starting to go crazy.

If Ian's tenacity was any other ranker, he would try until he became Bonamana.

‘Hopefully, all four times will be cleaned up and the situation will end quickly... …. ’

After checking the clock on the monitoring room wall, Nazi shakes his head and mutters…….

“We're almost done for the night. ”

Of course, Representative Kim who heard his voice next to him was furious.

“Bar, overnight, sir. What a horrible thing to say.... ”

Najchan sighed deeply and raised his finger to the screen.

And he kindly answered Kim's question.

“Once Ian figures out how to survive and starts an endless trial...... can we go home? ”

“ ……. ”

“Put a blanket in the on-call room, and monitor it as you go around. ”

“Help me, boss……. ”

“Why are you asking me to save you? I have to talk to Ian.”

“Hehe.”

Najchan and Deputy Kim clapped their mouths again, fixing their gaze on the screen.

On the screen, Ian and Remir arrived at the boss' room, breaking through the end of the gate.

‘As expected, he's wearing a lava full set, so he just wipes out the mobs. ’

But in fact, on this lava land, the gateway breakthrough was formal.

The gatekeeper who appeared at the end of the gateway was practically the entire gate.

After a while, the screen began to vibrate with a big bang.

Goooo - Kuaaaa -!

Then, the lava floors cracked open, and the gatekeepers of hell slowly revealed themselves.
