Taming Master

"Defeat Paraken, the Machine Monster" Quest chosen by Ian as the first Knight Quest.

Herce thought Ian had chosen a quest that looked fun without much planning, but the reality was a little different.

Ian chose the Paraken Kill Quest for a reason.

‘Though I pretended to be strong, the S-rank Knights Que will never be easy. ’

And the reason was because it was in the content of the quest information window.

Kill Paraken, the Machine Monster.

To the north of Mount Spirits, the four sacred peaks rise high.

Four peaks of the same height, rising into a diamond, perfectly symmetrical in landscape.

The tribes of the Spirit Realm have long since called this sacred area Bitter Stella.

…… approximate……

But the machine civilization has been invading Bitter Stella for some time now.

Until now, machine civilizations that have not even been seen here have begun to stretch their legs.

According to Goral, a race of nature that houses the Spirit System, a powerful and huge machine monster appeared on the Eastern peak of Bitterstella, the Horn.

Let's kill the guy who's trying to contaminate the sanctuary and find out what happened.

Quest Difficulty: S-

Recommended Level: 70-90 (Exceeded)

Quest Requirement: Only available to users in the 'Knights’ guild who are at least 3 guild ranks.

Blueprint of the machine monster ‘Paraken’.

3,000 Dimensional Coins

* This quest can only be shared with users in the same guild or knights.

‘Shaia Bongga, who was attacked a few days ago, must have been one of the peaks of Bitter Stella's quest. And clues to the end of the mountain, possibly related to Bitter Stella. ’

What Ian now needs to find in the spirit system is a ‘Dimensional Seal’.

Just as you obtained the Dragon Scale Shoes, the seal of the Dragon's dimension, you should get the necklace of elements.

And based on Gripper's story, it was clear that the clue to getting the necklace of the element was in the end content.

That's why Ian chose this quest first.

‘Given the equation Epic, this must be a quest related to the main story. If you go through this, you'll see clues to dig deeper into the content. ’

And one more thing.

Among several quests related to Bitter Stella, Ian picked up and chose Paraken's defeat quest for one more decisive reason.

It was now related to the Guardian Summoning Stone in Ian's Inventory.

For a moment, Ian recalled the last conversation with the manager who was managing the ruins of the Holy Spirit.

* * *

I can't believe there's a challenger in one of the ruins of the Holy Spirit getting all three Guardian Summoning Stones.

“Is it amazing? ”

- It's more crazy than surprising.

“ ……. ”

Unlike what it looks like, it's cheap (?) When Ian saw the practicing manager, he looked a little embarrassed.

However, unlike Ian's expression, the manager's words resulted again.

- But you want to know more about these summoning stones?

“Yes, sir. Can this be used to summon the Guardians we met at the Gateway below? ”

- Well, you're probably right.

“What does that even mean? ”

- Like you said, it's true that the Summoning Stones can awaken the Ancient Guardians.

“Well, not to some extent, but it's totally true. ”

The manager shakes his head and says again.

- No, it's not. Apart from waking them up, it will be impossible for you to summon or summon them.

“Yes? What is that……. ”

- Guardians don't dare to be called "summoners."

An unexpected manager said, Ian looked a little embarrassed.

Like the manager said, it was a favorite item.

However, since this precious item could not be a useless treasure trove, Ian began to insist on digging.

“Then what's the point of summoning them? ”

When Ian asked, the manager smiled strangely and said again.

- Guardians are born to protect something.

“ ……? ”

- That's my cue. I was going to keep it that way, but you're the one who's telling me this.

“Isn't it too salty? ”

- I can't help it. It's out of my hands to inform the challenger of these ideals.

“Mmmm... ”

Ian took a moment to review the manager's words, which seemed to have a strange meaning, and this time he brought up another story.

The Summoning Stone was also used, but there was one more important piece of information to find out.

“Then, Manager. ”

- Talk to me.

“Please at least tell me how to use this Summoning Stone. ”

- Hmm, how to use......

“If I'm going to find out about the Guardians, I need to know how to use the Summoning Stone. ”

With Ian's reasonably orderly remarks, the manager hesitates for a moment.

This was not supposed to be a story for the challenger, but it was not limited to implying it.

Thus, the manager who made his own judgment slowly shut up again.

- Then I'll give you one hint.

“Lethal…. ”

- Well, you don't want to hear it.

“Hehe, no, sir. No way."

Ian, who almost got rid of one piece of information by mistake, was as humiliated as he could be.) I finally pulled out the manager's hint with my face.

So the last hint Ian heard from his manager was about another peak in Bitter Stella, the Horn.

There was another ancient ruin in Horn, and I heard that there would be a clue to unlock the Summoning Stones.

- It won't be easy to locate the ruins, but maybe you can...

At the end of the manager's last words, Ian regained consciousness.

And while Ian was thinking about it for a while, the Celestial Dragons were able to arrive in Bitterstella.

* * *

- Tyring!

-You have reached your first destination.

- Enter the area of Bitter Stella.

Two new lines of system messages appeared before the eyes of Ian and the Celestial Dragon Knights.

Twenty couriers flying along the mountains, riding on the back of a golden non-dragon.

Ian immediately checked the system messages, and the rest of the vessels that were following him also quickly descended into formation.

You little...!

Members of the Heavenly Dragon Knights who scatter the golden hordes of knights' outlines and show off their magnificent appearance!

But apart from such glamorous looks, the knights are now anxious (?).

“Sis, this isn't going to be extinct from the beginning, is it? ”

“Well. It doesn't seem like a very impossible development.... ”

Lebbia replies nervously to Canoe's anxious question, and Lemir adds a note next to her.

“Well, Ian Gad will take care of it. Let's do what we're told not to worry about useless things. ”

“ ……. ”

Even until the first start, the entire atmosphere of the knights was very lively.

But that was only until Ian shared a quest with him.

“Ha, starting with an S-rating. I wonder who Ian is.... ”

The spirit of Hun asked Jurkan, who was flying next to him.

“Individually, I may have even received a Brawl Bandit Buff.... Isn't it worth a try even if you have a higher difficulty rating? ”

Hun sighed at Jurkan, who still didn't know the atmosphere. Levia explains it for you.

“The problem is that the rankings on the Knights quest are all of them, so the difficulty is determined. ”

“ ……! ”

“I think it might be easier to do an SS class personal quest. ”

“Cough.”

Meanwhile, apart from the knights talking stories, Ian was very busy flying in the lead.

Bitter Stella's territory was so vast that she couldn't take her eyes off the mini-map in order not to get lost because it was a novice road except for the Shaia peak.

‘Since it is said to be the peak of the east...' Maybe we should follow that mountain range. ’

Ian looks at the mini-map with a relaxed look on Iron's back, checking the coordinates and starting to speed up.

And it's been more than a decade.

At last, Ian's group reaches the beginning of the Horn Cliff and senses something suspicious.

* * *

Kailan's clients provide a server-specific, class-by-class level ranking by default.

However, with ranking information still not provided by Kailan, it was global ranking information.

It was decided that not disclosing the global ranking would make the midfield game more interesting.

Nevertheless, Kailan fans were ranked among the top rankers, so there were different kinds of ranking tables on the web.

And no matter what ranking chart you looked at, there was a perfect match, and it was the summoner's first and second names.

Summoner ranking

1st Place - Ian

Level: Mid 70 Level (Estimated)

Server: Korean Server

Guild: Lotus

2nd Place - Wang Wei

Level: Early 70 Level (Estimated)

Server: China Server

Guild: Cheongeung ❗

Ian and Wang Wei, two users of the Summoner class with overwhelming combat power and level.

With numerous Kailan fans calling them the Horseman Class, you can guess how big the gap is between them and the other rankers.

But what was interesting here was that, in addition to that, the perception gap between the two was enormous.

Perhaps if you were to randomly select 100 users playing Kailan on a global server, everyone would be very likely to answer that Ian is ranked # 1.

unless you're asking 100 Chinese server users.

‘Hmmm, I have to admit. But you can't stay under Ian's shadow forever. ’

So Wang Wei was still trying like crazy today.

I also acknowledged that the gap between Ian and the Summoner who was closest to Ian was still quite good, but it was also clear that he was the one who was close to Ian.

“Pick a list from the Spirit Realm to be the best hunting ground for EXP, Harwin. ”

“Yes, Master. ”

“We have to do 75 reps before the end of the month, so pick only the best supporters and throw a party. ”

“I will. ”

Wang Wei used his golden power to lure numerous rankers and outstanding Chinese users into the guild.

And all of them mobilized to raise their specs.

‘But I caught up with him a lot. No matter how Ian flies, he'll never beat me at leveling. ’

Then one day.

Through Harwin, the guild's closest friend, information was obtained from Wang Wei.

“Master……! ”

“What's going on? ”

“In the north of Mount Spirit, we have discovered an enormous hunting ground! ”

“Oh, where is it? ”

“An army of machine civilizations, over 70 levels above transcendent, gathered like a swarm. ”

“If that's the case, isn't Horus home too? ”

“That's not true, Master. ”

“Hmm…? ”

“More than half of all monsters have ordinary EXP. ”

“ ……! ”

Hearing Harwin's story, Wang Wei immediately began to form a guard.

His destination was, of course, the 'Horn’, the eastern peak of Bitter Stella, where experience flowed instead of milk and honey.
