Taming Master

* * *

Lufan is the highest peak and the highest difficulty field in Bitterstella.

With an average transcendence level of 90, Lufan was still very calm today.

Whereas the field itself is vast, there are very few hunting parties available here yet.

Judging by the level of monsters in the field, the Lufan Mountains are a higher tier hunting ground than the ‘Contaminated Ground’ of the Lacatorium.

There were, in fact, only three or four hunting parties available here, and they weren't even getting the efficiency right yet.

They've barely met the hunting specs yet.

So the hunting grounds in the Lufan Mountains were very peaceful.

It was a non-PK field among the same species in the first place, and the hunting grounds were overflowing with prey, so there was no conflict between the guilds.

A hunting ground in the Lufan Mountains that used to be so peaceful.

But even this peaceful hunting ground was gradually becoming a competitive arena, so it was an uninvited guest (?).

“Huh, Hoon and the trapeze are getting better, so it's definitely clearing faster. ”

According to Deputy Chief Kanoel, the Hun next to him shrugs and opens his mouth.

“Uh-huh, did you just see that broad explosion? Now it's over 100,000 deals per Death Meteor. ”

The message was then also nodded with a satisfied expression.

“I'm much more viable thanks to my strange-style knuckles. ”

“That's the Deal Tham. Why is it so viable? ”

“It's a proportional amount of maximum health. ”

“Oh…! ”

“As soon as I put it up, it's not a bloodsucking joke. ”

Not long ago, the Knights of the Celestial Dragons moved the hunting grounds back to the Dragon Spring.

Ian, the master, is missing, and the three core forces have escaped.

Hunting in Bitter Stella, whose average transcendence level was over 80, was inefficient.

However, when the three men who had escaped returned, the story was completely different.

When three armed tribesmen joined the current set of top-level tier equipment, the party combat strength increased tremendously.

Ruins Excavation (?) Ian was still not coming back, but even in his absence, he had a faster hunting speed than before, so it was easy to guess how powerful the strand set was.

“Canoe. ”

“Huh?"

“The Scorpions, they're still howling in the first camp. Should I start by robbing them of metallurgy?" ”

Kanoel shakes his head and replies to the smiling Hun who will smile with an evil look.

“Shouldn't we be holding back the guild of the same humanitarian faction right now? ”

“Hmm, is that so? ”

“Let's not make a fuss. Let's start thinking about the other camps. ”

Noel says, the Fioran next to him nods.

“The X.O. is right. Now there are six crack coordinates that lead to the Horse camp.... In fact, we don't know when the war with the Horsemen is going to happen. ”

“Tsk, I didn't like the Scorpions..." ”

Hun was actually in a frenzied state.

With much more powerful equipment than before, he was desperate to start a fight.

Of course, PVE beating monsters was fun enough, but I didn't feel the same tension when playing PVPs.

Any ranker you meet now seems to be able to beat you on a one-on-one basis.

‘Except Ian Gad, of course. ’

After all, the Knights of Lotus party stirs up the Lufan Mountains today, thanks to the motivated threesome with upgraded equipment.

But by the time the hunt for the day was over,

A world message that delighted Hun came to everyone's attention.

- Tyring!

- The Madrun Guild has created the Divine Knights!

- There are 32 guilds with "Knights" in the middle.

- The conditions are met.

-Ten days after midnight today, the first knightfight will be held.

- Knight fight.

- A scheduled duel in the Thorpiece Resistance Square.

The tournament will continue until there are -10 teams left…….

…… Snapshot……

Gulp.

Lilson swallowed a dry needle.

There was a fierce battle in front of him now, but there was little he could do.

Boom-boom-boom!

“Hehe!”

Only to avoid scattered rock debris and extensive damage, Lilson is running wild.

In fact, he didn't even know how the battle was going.

"No, what is that crazy golem made of that makes it go so fast? ’

I just think the final boss, the Maw Monarch, is using his unique abilities powerful enough to break the balance.

‘Even if you bring all the Knights to Raid, it won't be easy. ’

Nevertheless, he did not let go of the leash of hope.

He's practically religious.

Ian was still fighting.

‘There's got to be something. If it's Ian.’

So she generously used the magic scrolls that she had saved for the wounded Ian's summoners.

“Invelid Spell Invalid Spell! ”

“Haste!”

To help Ian, at least.

And despite his efforts, Ian was desperate.

‘Dammit. Once I'm more adapted, I think I can do something about it. ’

Ian and the Abyssal Monarch.

The battle between the two was truly a close succession.

Ian's life force, which seemed to be putting in a one-sided deal, was repeatedly falling to the ground with a single counter.

‘A long distance deal would have been a lot easier. He doesn't have any real weaknesses, in a way. ’

Ian, who had experienced a powerful counter punch for the first time, turned the strategy around.

He used summoners to disperse the boss aggro and used blasters and magburns to put deals at a distance.

But it didn't take long to realize that the strategy was the wrong choice.

I used to have an anti-spell for ranged attacks...

- The ‘Abyssal Monarch’ 's unique ability, 'Abyssal Magnetic Field’, is triggered.

- Projection speed of all projectiles entering the magnetic field is reduced by half.

- During the passage of the magnetic field, the projectile's power is reduced by 5 percent every second.

Magic and spirits were immunes at all.

- The ‘Monarch of the Abyss’ unique ability ‘Ruler of Elements’ is triggered.

- Absorbs all damage with 'attributes’ by 90 percent

Take damage that has been absorbed over a 10-second period.

- While the ‘Master of Elements’ unique ability is active, the 'Monarch of the Abyss’ HP regeneration rate is increased by 200 percent.

“What a bunch of crap...! ”

In the end, Ian's strategy had to return to its origins.

He possesses strange defensive passive skills and the basic cuff itself had to stab the Devil's Judge Sword in order to defeat this monstrosity.

‘Fortunately, we've figured out the approximate cooldown time for the time hall……. ’

Ian's unique ‘time hole’ reuse latency was approximately three minutes.

So to overcome this time-hole phase that comes once every three minutes, that was ultimately the point of this battle.

Kuang -!

- How long are you going to run, Ian?

Ian takes a step back, biting his lower lip, avoiding an attack by the Abyssal Monarch.

‘Even if the cooldown on the Dragonic Barrier was a little shorter……. ’

By combining the numerous skills of the summoners into his mind, looking for a way to thwart his attack.

As soon as the time hall kicks in, should I walk the dispeller? No. You don't get dispelled because you don't have buff skills anymore, do you? ’

Ian recalls the magic of the dispel family that can unlock all buff enchantments at once.

But that's when.

In Ian's brain, I thought of a way to counter the time hall.

* * *

Ian was able to come up with an amazing idea because he was actually thinking about the essential concept of the skill Time Hall.

A time hole that unlocks all the slowness effects accumulated for 10 seconds and explodes the move 'damaged’ by it for 1 second.

At first Ian thought the time hall was just a buff skill, but then he realized it wasn't.

There's no record of an Abyssal Monarch receiving a buff anywhere in the system message.

If it were a buff, it would have specified a specific coefficient, just ‘accelerated explosively. Only the phrase’ remained.

The time hall was not the idea of speeding up the monarchy's movements, it was the concept of speeding up his time.

Because of that, Ian was able to get one hint here.

‘Clock of Darkness. Why didn't I think of that? ’

Clock of Darkness, one of the auxiliary enchantments of the Black Wizard class 8 circle.

This skill, which Huni used to support Ian in the battle of God's Horse Edition, was now available to Ian.

Ian had Lugaryx, who could do nine circles of dark magic.

‘If he was using time distortion skills, we could have used him too. ’

A ‘Clockwork of Darkness’ skill that allows the target's time to be overturned by up to 5 seconds.

Ian uses this skill to hit the counter in the 'time hall’.

"If you use the Death Incarnation on your wristwatch, and the vengeance of the dead on this, you can surely send him to the goal. ’

Of course, he did not intend to take back the time of the Abyssal Monarch by using the clock reef.

The counter couldn't be established because the time hall would be triggered after five seconds.

What he came up with was a complete reversal.

“Lugaryx, get ready! ”

- ……?

“Place a Death Incarnation on me. ”

- What the...!

Ian, who placed an order on Lugaryx, rushed straight to the Maw Monarch.

Wedge-

Shhh! Shhh!

I started swinging my sword like crazy towards his weaknesses.

- The ‘Blade of Hell’ unique ability is triggered.

- Temporarily increases attack speed by 350 percent.

- Temporarily increases defense penetration by 30 percent.

…… approximate……

- You have inflicted fatal damage on the 'Maverick Monarch’!

- "The Abyssal Monarch" has been branded "The Devil's Mark"!

…… approximate……

- Ignore the target's defenses completely!

- Critical Hit Damage increased by 50 percent

- The power of the ‘Blade of Hell’ unique ability is increased by 300 percent.

Kwam! Kwam!

I slaughtered a slow one with a debuff due to its own slowing effect.

Ian has been completely aggressive when he was hit by the counter from the time hall as if it had nothing to do with it!

- Ugh, you lost your nerve!

And in the face of such an owner, Lugaryx was embarrassed.

I didn't even know what he was thinking.

Do you believe in the Death Incarnation or not? ’

Death incarnation is a resurrection skill, but it has a slightly different personality.

Even though it is a resurrection skill, it is not a skill used on a deceased target, but a skill used on a living target.

Death Incarnation was the only skill that resurrected the target within 20 minutes of death.

However, this did not really resurrect him.

The object that was resurrected by Death Incarnation was to become a state of temporary loss of all life in three minutes.

Lugaryx couldn't understand.

As long as Ian's attack is strong, we won't be able to defeat the Maw Monarch in three minutes.

Of course, he was putting the deal into place like crazy, but the life force of the Abyssal Monarch was still only reduced by 20 percent.

‘But what can I do? I have to do what I'm told. ’

Whoo-hoo!

The dark energy that was stretched out from Lugaryx's hand is drawn to Ian and creates a dark ring.

And seeing Ian like that, the Abyssal Monarch ridiculed him as if he were petty.

- Ian, you don't think that's gonna work.

“Well, we'll see about that. ”

- Borrowing the power of darkness. I'll kill you twice.

Goooo-!

Ian quickly changed the mood of the Abyssal Monarch when he was unilaterally attacked.

- The unique ability of the ‘Monarch of the Abyss’ has triggered the ‘Time Hall’.

- Unlocks all slowing effects.

Due to the slowing effect within -10 seconds…….

…… Snapshot……

Then the next moment.

Wedge-

The monarch's enormous fist falls straight over Ian's head.

Kwam! Kwam!

“Ahhhh!”

And as she confirmed it, she closed her eyes tightly.

He didn't even know about Death Incarnation because he thought the game was over.

‘Damn, this is how it ends……! ’

But after a while.

“ ……? ”

She was embarrassed.

- Tyring!

There was an unexpected sight in front of his eyes.

- The ‘Maverick Monarch’ has been devastated!

- All the lives of the Abyssal Monarch have been depleted!

- The conditions are met.

- You have passed all the tests in 'Abyssal Ruins'!
