Taming Master

“I knew it……! This can't be the end! ”

Ran back out of the water, Ian climbed back onto Charta's back with the face as described above.

We still haven't figured out what the frozen ‘ancient ruins’ were under the lake, but it was because we were too short of breath to find them while we were diving.

‘Before I find out about these ruins, I'll have to ask Aren for forgiveness. ’

After draining, Ian reaches out to the outside of the lake and opens his mouth.

Entering here was too difficult, so I'm going to try to dig up the ruins before I take Aren home.

“Ruins? Wow, is there such a mystery underneath the lake? ”

“It is. I haven't confirmed it yet, but the size of the glacier covering the ruins is enormous. ”

“Wow! That's amazing. Ancient ruins!”

“So, Arlene, ”

“Tell me, Ian. ”

“I'd like to take you to the Maiyan Mountains first, but you know it's hard to come back in here once you're out, right? ”

“That's right.”

“So before we get out of here, I'd like to look for the ruins first, but could you wait for me?" ”

After explaining what you saw, Ian looks at Aren with a desperate look!

Ian wanted to excavate the ruins by giving up the matching quest if Aren refused.

‘Please……! ’

And fortunately, Aren nodded happily and said yes.).

“Of course! Thanks to Ian, I was able to save this precious water of life. Of course I have to wait. ”

“Th-thank you, Aren. ”

But that permission was not an unconditional permission.

“Then, Ian, can I ask you a favor? ”

“Yes? Please? What do you want?”

Aren smiles and opens his mouth cautiously, momentarily.

“That Ruins Excavation, I was wondering if you could join me. ”

“Huh?"

“I'm not greedy for ruins at all, just curious and curious. The ancient stories my grandfather told me when I was a child might help me dig up the ruins. ”

Ian, who was listening to the story of Aren, flashed both eyes.

It was because some assumptions came to mind.

"Wow. So Arendo, this is the NPC that had something to do with the content in the valley? ’

Come to think of it, Arene's Connection Quest was a quest that served to find the Valley of Life here.

Then, due to the nature of the typical coupling quest, Arlene was also likely to be related in some way to the content in this valley, and she might have a key.

Ian nodded and replied, as if to use his heart against Aren.

“Well, it's not that hard. ”

“Wow!"

“Do I need to understand what took you so long? ”

“Of course! I've always wanted to take an adventure like this. ”

With Ian's positivity, Arlene leaps forward with a cheerful look.

She quickly ties up a sack of sacks of furrowed valleys and starts tucking them into her bag.

Surprisingly, Arene's bag swallowed a large water bag like a user's inventory.

And so began the excavation of the ruins of Ian and Aren.

* * *

The first thing Ian did for the excavation of the ruins was, of course, to find out what was in the huge ice.

If you didn't know what was in it, whether you broke the ice or melted it, or if you were going to take it out of the water first, you were more likely to make a mistake.

Ian, who had drawn all kinds of ways to shine the light, began to diligently examine what was inside the ice mass.

I drank some water in the process, but it was only that hard.) I could not stand up to Ian's passion.

“Phew! Queek, queek! ”

After a long dive, Ian looks out of the water and sees the twinkling of his eyes.

“Did you check what it was, Ian? ”

However, Ian responded with a sighing voice, shaking his head.

“No, I don't think this is going to be easy to find in the water. ”

“Is that so?"

“It's too dark in the lake, and the ice is so big. ”

“Aha.”

“If the ruins trapped in the ice were huge, we'd know what they were. They're also enormously small in size. ”

“How small is it? ”

“I just see a little shadow on the inside of the ice. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Unlike Ian, Aren was a total jerk at swimming, but he still helped Ian dive pretty well.

He used spiritual magic and high magics, illuminated the underwater, and opened the waterway.

However, despite their efforts, it was inevitable that they would discover the identity of the objects in the ice.

“I have to get this out eventually.... ”

Ian's muttering made Arene look embarrassed.

“Eek? You're going to take this big one out? ”

“Or is there no other way? ”

What surprised Aren was, in fact, too natural.

The idea that the lake was so deep that we didn't know where the bottom was, and that the ice in the ruins was much bigger than the clumps of crazy rocks, there seems to be no answer.

So, Arene began to comment cautiously.

“Why don't you... melt this?" ”

“Melt?”

Due to Ian's greeting, Aren nods and continues.

“It's so big now, it's hard to get out, but if you melt it down and reduce the size, it's worth a try. ”

“ ……. ”

“Just half the time. No, even if it's a quarter the size, I think I can get Lulu's help to take it out.... ”

Arene seriously looks down at the ice mass underneath the surface and mumbles.

When Ian heard her say that, he suddenly looked ridiculous.

“If I can melt to the size of a quarter like you said, I can get enough.... ”

“Isn't that right? ”

“How the hell are you going to melt? ”

“ ……! ”

“I'm just saying, if you want to melt a chunk of ice in the water, you might not even have a chin for wiggling flame magic. ”

“Well, is that so? ”

Ian shakes his head, shaking his head.

“Of course. If you really want to melt, you have to heat up the whole lake. ”

“Huff!”

Ian takes a deep sigh at the backbone of Arene, and starts following the horse like a quickfire.

“If this place were as small as a fountain of life, you wouldn't have a jaw with fire magic. Well, maybe if we pour lava in. ”

“Lava?”

“Yes, lava. ”

But Ian, who was talking to him, could feel his head flashing.

‘Wait! Lava……! Isn't it supposed to be solved by pouring lava? ’

Like Ian's story, there is almost no flaming magic that can melt a giant chunk of ice locked in this valley.

Well, if there's no time limit, theoretically, maybe one day you can.

But lava was a different story.

The lava didn't cool down as soon as it got into the water, and since the ice was close to the surface, if it started pouring lava in bulk, this huge glacier would have to melt.

‘Why didn't I think of this sooner? ’

We still don't know the identity of the artifact in the glacier, but it won't be easy to damage it until it melts far enough.

When Ian came to his senses, he summoned the inconvenience without hesitation.

The lava itself, the brace of discomfort and its inherent ability, would not take long to cut the ice in half.

“Unacceptable. No, Summon Lacador! ”

Whoo-hoo!

A shimmering shadow summoned to the heavens of the valley with Ian's summoning order.

And in Ian's mind, which has summoned the inconvenience, it still begins (?) I remembered the 9 Circle Dragon Spell I had never done before.

‘Something's funny, but I can think of no better magic in the situation than that. ’

Ian then came out of the water on a chartar, and immediately gave the order for the inconvenience.

“Lava Swamp, Lavador……! ”

And Ian's real name.), and the red energy started to flutter from both hands of the proud Lakador.

* * *

- Rava Swamp.

Grade: Myth (transcendent)

Classification: Declaration Magic

Magic grade: 9 circles

Concentrate your mind for a certain period of time (1-10 seconds), then draw in a powerful heat with the power of the Covenant to summon a high heat lava.

The summoned lava is pushed forward like a wave, melting all objects without a trace.

All targets hit by lava take 425% of their Magic Attack Power per second while in contact with lava.

(The longer the mental focus, the exponential increase in the amount of lava spilled.

* Magic Defense Power of targets hit by Lava is reduced by 30% and Fire Resistance by 40%.

* Targets swept by lava have a 25% chance of being "knocked back" towards the direction of lava flow per second.

(Knockback targets deal 250% more fire damage from Magic Attack,)

Cooldown: 360 sec

* Unique commandment magic of the new dragon, Lakador.

Your Mana consumption is reduced by half when you use your unique Declaration magic.

* Casting time does not exist in all Declaration enchantments.

* Immune status from all status conditions while Lakador takes charge of that magic.

Lavah Swamp, the dragon-speaking magic of Lacador, was a powerful wide-area attack magic with literal visuals.

After charging the energy of the flames for a certain period of time, if Lacador opened his mouth, a tremendous amount of lava would spill out like waves.

To the outside, it could have been a magic feeling similar to the 'Dragon Brass’, but the utilization on the battlefield was completely different.

If Brass feels like he's crushing multiple enemies at once, this lava swamp spell is a magic that slowly pushes into the enemy and causes damage over time.

‘I didn't think it would be used for melting ice for the first time...... ’

Ian shakes his head, but on the one hand he looks forward to it.

It was only after that huge chunk of melted ice was removed that you could see what an ancient ruin is.

It wasn't an urgent situation like the battle situation, so Lacador filled up all the charging times and began to emit waves of lava.

Chihuahua- Chihuahua-!

As Ian and Arene expected, the ice in the lake began to melt with black smoke.

Shhh!

As the chunks of ice separated by lava float over the round water.

The ice, once enormous, gradually shrinks.

And so, when the disastrous lava swamp was all over,

In the middle of the lake, a cubicle-sized chunk of ice appeared meticulously.

Splash-!

“ ……! ”

Ian and Aren, who were far away due to the heat of the lava, quickly approached the ruins trapped in the ice.

When I was in the middle of the huge ice, the invisible silhouette began to be clearly caught in Ian's eyes.

‘What? It looks like a doll... ’

Ian approaches with a chartar to get the ice cube out of the water.

But then.

With Ian's ears, an unexpected voice rang out.

- Wait! Wait, wait...! It's postponed, right?

And the protagonist of the voice was the Spirit of Arene ‘Lulu’.
