Taming Master

* * *

After clearing the Maw of Natai, the two came out with a choice they had not thought of.

- You cleared the Maw of Natai.

- The conditions are met.

- I'm entitled to go to the monarchy's chambers.

- Do you want to move? (Y/N)

-If you don't go to the Monarch's room, you can challenge the remaining two Mavericks.

Clearing one Maw gives you the option to challenge the other Maw's room, even though you are qualified to move on to the next.

‘Cause there's probably a key left. ’

And Ian's answer, of course, was "No."

Rather than going to the monarch's chambers right now, clearing out the rest of the Maw's chambers would have been more rewarding.

It's an instinct that's almost certain.

“No, I'm going to challenge the next Maw. ”

In Ian's view, it was a natural choice to clear the Maw so easily.

In this regard, Lilson was also uncontroverted, and so the two immediately challenged the 'Maw of Chaos’.

“All right, let's just smash it all. ”

“I still have five keys left, but it's too bad I'm giving up the rest of the rooms. ”

Thus, the two people who challenged the other two rooms in a motivational atmosphere.

“Lugarix, Carseus, cover left! ”

- Understood, Master.

“Lacador, keep an eye on Lilson's brother, and the rest of you, move forward! ”

- I'll do it.

“Lilson keeps checking the mini-map! ”

“Okay!”

They cleared the second maze with a mortal force…….

- Tyring!

- You have successfully cleared the 'Maze of Chaos’!

-Clear Time: 00: 19: 51

-Clear Grade: SSS +

- You obtained 10 ‘Abyssal Darkness’ items.

- Rank above the limit, adding 'Abyssal Darkness' …….

…… Snapshot……

Again, he refused to go to the monarch's room.

The Maw of Chaos cleared faster than the Maw of Natai, so confidence burned more.

However, the last gate they challenged ‘The Maw of Welcome’ went a little differently than the expectations of two people.

Unlike before, I had to work hard.

Unlike the conditions and chaos that were able to disable the dungeon's characteristics with overwhelming combat power, the Maze of Illusion was an endless labyrinth.

If it hadn't been for Lilson, he would have been trapped in the Maw all day, and a very difficult gate was the Maw of Vision.

“Phew, is it finally the end? ”

“Is it right this time, brother? ”

“Maybe you're right. The last fork in the road confirmed the Abyssal Mark. ”

And thanks to the work of Lilson, they were able to successfully conquer the Maw of Vision in approximately five hours.

- Tyring!

- We're at the end!

- Recover all flags.

-All conditions are met.

- You have successfully cleared the 'Welcome Maw’!

-Clear Time: 04: 52: 21

-Clear Grade: A-

- You obtained 10 ‘Abyssal Darkness’ items.

-Accept the following ranks to earn an additional five "Abyssal Darkness."

- You have conquered every Maw Chamber!

Triple S status, compared to the Maw of Chaos, was a bit of a waste of clearance, but still a satisfactory performance.

“Khh, you did the last one. As expected, Lilson Gods.”

“You're not teasing me, are you? ”

“What a tease! I'd still be wandering around the maze without you. ”

Ian raised Lilson for his dazzling performance, but he became slightly embarrassed.

As he said, it was great of Lilson to find his way, but in fact, Ian was the one who carried him to the final gate.

We couldn't clear the Gateway if we couldn't defeat the Abyssal Monsters guarding the Mark no matter how well we found it, because they were never going to be able to defeat them on their own.

“Well, I appreciate you saying that.... ”

That's why she instinctively felt an unknown anxiety when she heard Ian's praise.

To accept that this was a compliment from Ian's pure heart, Ian's confrontation (?).

‘They might try to float me like this again and again. ’

Lilson insists on swallowing his thirsty saliva.

After clearing these Abyssal Ruins, I said I shouldn't go anywhere near Ian for a while.

Of course, I got immense gains and experience next to Ian, but I also had to survive (?) Something meaningful.

It was Lilson's idea that if he followed Ian around like this, it wouldn't be strange if he overplayed the game.

But that commitment had to fade again in the next moment.

“Anyway, now that you've cleared all the Maw, all you have to do is pick up the artifact and put it in? ”

“Khh, what other artifacts do we have here? I got a lot of tokens this time, too. ”

The moment I checked the number of tokens in my inventory, Lilson's rationality was paralyzed again.

How many of these are there? I can get some Mythical Relics this time, too. ’

In Ian's case, the combined number of tokens dropped within the dungeon held over 200 tokens, and in Lilson's case, almost 80 tokens.

An additional token was not earned as much as Ian because it was paid in proportion to Contribution Points, but the fact that he had basically cleared all three Abyssal Chambers was an enormous collection of tokens.

And this was perhaps natural.

Unlike the Gateway to the Holy Spirit or the Evil Spirit, in the beginning, this Abyssal Chamber was a gateway that only one of the three rooms had to be cleared.

Whoo-hoo!

With a loud resonance, the portal at the end of the Maw of Vision sucks both of you out.

And then, shortly after that, it was a new environment that they had never seen.

- Tyring!

- The conditions are met.

- Proceed to the monarchy's chambers.

- All challengers will be awarded 15 "Abyssal Darkness" each, as there are 3 Abyssal Keys left.

Now that all the gates have been cleared, they have been moved to the monarchy's chambers without a choice.

In the process, the remaining keys are returned as tokens, small (?) performance.

‘A monarch's room...' Is this where the artifact is? Or is the new Gateway waiting for you again? ’

Ian looks nervous about the new environment and quickly glances around him.

The monarch's room was a huge cone-shaped place, and it was empty enough to feel empty just looking around.

Moreover, it was because of a large football field with an invisible tip in a circular space, a sharp, high ceiling, or something sacred.

‘Do artifacts need this much space to be arranged? If not... ’

Ian is constantly rolling his head for a short time after he crosses through the portal.

Then a new message appeared before his eyes.

- Tyring!

- All challengers have entered.

- The conditions are met.

- The Abyssal Monarch awakens.

Phrase-Phrase-Phrase!

And after seeing the message, Ian suddenly became more complicated.

"Abyssal Monarch"? I think I've heard it somewhere... …. ’

The word "Monarch of the Abyss" was unfamiliar to me.

Somewhere in the old memories, it must be a faint name.

However, Ian's thoughts could not continue.

With an enormous sound to fill the eardrums, the circular floor began to glow blue…….

Whoo-hoo!

At the same time, what appeared to me was a massive summoner I had never seen before.

An unexpected turn of events, with both eyes wide open, Ian and Lilson.

“What is this? ”

Besides, it didn't end there.

“Ian, I, there...! ”

Within a giant circular summoning circle, a shadow of an abyss that big was slowly rising.

* * *

- Master of the Ruins. The final test of "Lord of the Abyss" begins.

It's huge.

The ancient golem, who boasted so much that it could not be expressed in all of these words, appeared.

And this time, even Ian, who was filled with confidence, was overwhelmed.

He was not only huge, he was a horse.

- Abyssal Monarch (Myth) (Transcendence)/Lv: 135 (Transcension)

"Level 135"? Isn't that a little harsh? ’

Ian's pupils, which confirmed his level of 135, were flattened.

Of course, he had the power to sweep through higher levels of monsters, but this was completely different.

He was a mythical boss monster, not a fake one with power tools, but a real 135-level monster.

Perhaps if a normal grade field monster wanted to rub a stat on him, 250 levels would have to be surpassed.

‘Well, you must be really nervous. ’

Ian takes a deep breath once, quickly checking the status of the summoners and equipment and slowly looking up at the massive 'Abyssal Monarch’.

At that moment, Ian and the "Monarch of the Abyss" stared into the air.

- I've been waiting, challenger.

“ ……! ”

- In the past, you still amaze me today.

“What do you mean…? ”

Ian and Lilson froze up for a second because of an unexpected dialogue.

You know us? ’

Not one of them, you know? ’

And the next moment, their pupils were simultaneously dilated.

It was because I finally realized the identity of this unknown stranger.

“Could it have been him? ”

When I was saving the Seal of the Abyss with Lilson to evolve many into earrings.

The fact that the name of the last boss who was guarding the ‘Abyssal Sinus’ came to mind at the same time.

“But it's too big……. ”

So Ian took a look at what he looked like.

And the more I looked at him, the more I realized how similar he looked to that day.

Hefty, it was even bigger than it was then, but he was definitely the 'Maw Lord’ back then.

‘There are no coincidences. I was with Lilson then, and now I'm with Lilson again. ’

One of Ian's mouths, looking up at the Abyssal Monarch, ripens and dries up.

Somehow something more interesting was about to happen here than I expected.
