Taming Master

* * *

Just after 5: 00 a.m., as Lilson anticipated, a sharp, knife-like wake-up call began to erupt from under his head.

It was Ian's phone, of course.

Lilson picks up the phone and shoots Ian in a loud voice.

“I was up, man. ”

- Khh, that's Lilson Gods.

In Ian's voice, which was more lively than he was yesterday, he shook his head in horror because he was sure to have played late yesterday.

What the hell does this guy look like? ’

It was doubtful whether the human strength was right or not.

“Stay tuned, we're coming in right now. ”

- Okay!

Lilson breaks into capsule after a brief call.

Luckily, he fell asleep early in the evening, so he was able to sleep well.

Whew.

As she enters the capsule, the lid of the capsule slowly closes with a gentle mechanical sound.

Whether she liked the misalignment of the new capsule she had just bought, she muttered with a pleasant expression.

“Huh, conquer the Abyssal Ruins today. ”

Lilson's expression brightens as soon as he sits in the capsule, forgetting that he suffered so much until yesterday.

This made it clear that Lilson was also a natural gamer.

‘It's a bit difficult, but Ian followed me around and I will conquer two of the three ruins. ’

Escort Ian to a drug that corrupts his body and mind, but never stops.

- Iris identified. Welcome to the world of Kailan, Lilson.

Along with the system message, Lilson's eyes narrowly closed.

* * *

Bitter Stella's peak totals four.

But there are only three ancient ruins in Bitter Stella.

Because of this, there are no necessarily ruins in one of your peaks.

The ruins of the Holy Spirit and the evil spirit that Ian had conquered so far were located at Shaiya and Horn peaks, so Ian would have to scour the Mataya peaks and the Lufan peaks to find the last Abyssal ruins.

Of course, thanks to good GM Chow, Ian knew the location of the Abyssal Ruins.

“Almost there, brother. Over here.”

“Well, here? ”

“Check it out. There must be a connection to these coordinates. ”

“Not right around here? ”

“Yes. Right here. ”

Upon arriving at the top of Mataya Bong with Ian, Lilson first removed the boundary probe color device from his inventory.

I thought the fact that I knew the entrance to the ruins would not make sense without the same process as the previous quest, but I did what Ian asked me to do first.

Weeing.

And the next moment, I had to open my eyes in a circle.

- Tyring!

- Superior disconnect detected.

It was because there was a seal in the exact location that Ian pointed to.

“What kind of cheese are you wearing? ”

“No way. ”

“Or maybe the son of LB? Or some kind of global boundary sensing artifact? ”

“Cut me loose. Don't be ridiculous. ”

“Tsk.”

Ian had never properly explained to anyone what had happened with the GM, and so Lilson's reaction was perfectly natural.

But the reason Ian didn't tell the story was not special.

The moment I brought it up, I didn't want to bother because there were too many things to explain.

Ziing-Ziing-.

Lilson starts disassembling, grumbling again to see if he doesn't like Ian's answer.

Weeing.

And Ian wasn't playing, either, while the gate was being broken.

While checking and setting up the status and items of the summoners, I was preparing for everything.

‘It won't be easy here either. We need to stay alert for the last time. ’

Here at the Abyssal Ruins, the 'Mataya’ peak was the most mountainous and deep location of Bitterstella's peaks.

Apart from the fact that you have successfully completed the two ruins in front of you, it was never something you should underestimate.

And it's been about 20 minutes?

“It's over! ”

After skillfully decommissioning the entrance, she stands up with a cheerful look on her hands.

- Tyring!

- The party member, Lilson, has successfully disassembled.

- reveals the ancient ruins hidden within the boundaries.

Weeing-!

Ian and Lilson's new brotherhood were then sucked into the deep valley where the spirit of the abyss was echoing.

* * *

“Waaaah-!"

With a loud shout, a huge cannonball drops over the wall.

Kwang-Kwak-Kwam-!

A large number of guild members rush through the collapsed walls.

- Oh, it looks like Ana's guild has finally broken the defense line, doesn't it?

- Yes! If the siege succeeds here, this guild war will actually return to the victory of the Ana Guild!

- No matter how many battles you have left, you will win or lose, right?

- Yes, sir!

With excitement casters and commentators explaining, many users were engaged in frantic battles on TV.

Get-Get-Get-!

Phew!

Since it is a war in which the interests of the guild are greatly at stake, both sides are devoted without a single concession.

The guild battlefield between the top guilds is fierce and glamorous.

However, there was one thing you could see even if you focused a little bit and looked at the screen. That was that the number of spectators in the guild war was not as it used to be.

Of course, there were hundreds of spectators, but less than a tenth compared to the previous Lotus Guild or the Titan Guild War.

“It's the only way. The top guilds are no longer available in the Guild War. ”

This year, freshman Yoo Jin-hyuk, who entered the Korean University, turned the television channel while shaking his head.

I was watching Kylan's guild war broadcast on the channel without thinking about it, but after all, I was interested because I didn't have any name players.

In the case of the currently at war, the Eina and Siato guilds were at the top of their game in their own terrain, but few known rankers were there.

“But Jinhyuk. ”

“Huh?"

“Why don't the top guilds, like Lotus and Darkness, have a guild war? ”

When Se-hee, the girl next to him, replied with a grumpy expression.

“Rather than not, there's no reason to do it. ”

“Yeah? Why is that? ”

Unlike Kylan Manian Jin Hyuk, his girlfriend Eugene was a freshman.

Due to this, Jinhee began to explain a little, but kindly.

As a game-changer, your girlfriend needs to have more fun with the game (?) I could have a happy relationship.

“Guilds of that size have already reached the Kingdom rank. ”

“Am I right?"

“Especially the Lotus class guilds you mentioned already have all the maximum territories you can have as a kingdom. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Yes. That's why there's no need to open a guild war for territorial restoration. ”

Despite the explanation of Jinhyeok, I continued to wonder if my girlfriend was still less curious.

“But Kailan also has a rank of empire on top of his empire. ”

“Yes. You've studied quite a bit, haven't you? ”

“Heehee, I've been watching Kailan's community every day during the exam. ”

“I'm proud... …. ”

“There's a top tier called the Empire, so shouldn't we have more guild wars to eat and promote to other empires? ”

“That's right."

“Then why aren't you at the Guild War? ”

The evolution was even more annoying to Sehee's well-rounded question, but she continued to answer kindly.

“It's because of the intermediate content. ”

“Intermediate?”

“Yes.”

Jinhyuk, who swallowed the thirst for a moment, slowly opened his mouth again.

“If you start a Kingdom War in such a large guild, it will actually be a long war until you swallow one another, right? ”

“Maybe so. ”

“Then all the guild rankers who have been in the middle are tied to the ground. ”

“Aha.”

“Then the intermediate content will be delayed by other guilds, and we won't be able to start a war. ”

“Oh, there's a reason for that. ”

Fortunately, seeing Se-hee nodding with a satisfied expression, Jinhyuk sighed for relief.

“Gasoline.”

Then the great (?) Jinhyuk, who stroked his girlfriend's head, even told the community a bit of high-end information that was not yet known.

“And this is what we and our classmates have heard.... ”

“Oh, if Jin Hyuk is your boss, then the Lotus Guild members? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

The story of Lotus gives a second glare to Se-hee.

“Anyway, according to the elders, there is a guild war-like content coming up in the middle soon. ”

“Oh!”

“It seems that LB created this content intentionally as the watch rate for the guild war on the ground is waning these days. ”

“Wow, that sounds fun. What kind of content?”

In Shehee's argument, Jinhyeok opened his mouth again.

“Was it an intermediate Node War? I don't know the exact name, but I think it has something to do with the Knights. ”

* * *

When he first entered the Abyssal Ruins, Ian prayed earnestly for one thing.

"Please don't make this about the puzzle. ’

Suddenly, I remembered the pain I suffered in the ruins of evil spirits, and I was all sweaty.

‘You didn't put that kind of ignorant content in again. Yes, of course. ’

Of course, no matter what difficult puzzles were waiting for, Ian was going to head until he was.

The Abyssal Judgment Sword was more important to Ian now than any other reward.

But pain, if you can avoid it, is a good thing to avoid.

Whether Ian's prayers worked or not, the Abyssal Seals had nothing to do with the puzzle.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully completed the ‘Abyssal First Test (Abyssal) (Hidden)’ Quest!

- The first seal is lifted.

- The following areas have been opened:

…… approximate……

- You have successfully completed the ‘Abyssal Third Test (Abyssal) (Hidden)’ Quest!

- The third conclusion…….

…… Snapshot……

The ruins of the Abyss had more gates than the ruins of the Holy Spirit or of Evil.

When we reached the Tower of Ruins, seven trials were waiting for us.

Nevertheless, it did not take Ian and Lilson more than half the time in the evil ruins to break through.

If the Ruins Gates of the Spirit had felt like a shooter or an arcade game, the Ruins of Evil would have been a puzzle game, but the Ruins Gates of the Abyss here were purely dungeons of RPG game structure.

Ian just fought like crazy, so he broke through fast.

“Khh, this is it! Ian, you're doing great! ”

“Phew, I smashed them all, and I feel like I'm relieving the stress, bro. ”

“I'm relieved to see you by my side, man. ”

Thus, the two of them who quickly broke through all the gates could reach the Ruins Tower in just half a day.

A mystical tower surrounded by dark military glitter and the Maw of Sackhaman.

However, the expression of the two approaching the tower was somewhat uneasy.

- Tyring!

As I found the tower, I began to feel an ominous energy in the system message that came to my mind.

- The quest 'Heiden's Maw Entrance (Blitz)' has been triggered.

- The Abyssal Fog begins to spread across the battlefield.

Then the faces of the two who were reading the contents of the quest began to harden.
