Taming Master

* * *

The narrow, deep valley is a very unsuitable terrain for overseeing large numbers.

Once a troop is in a limited position, it is vulnerable to terrain attacks and tactics.

On the contrary, this story means that the terrain is optimized for a small number of people.

That's why Ian moved alone.

If this were an open plains battlefield, Ian wouldn't have moved alone against thirty ambush troops.

After all, if there were thirty immature creatures at the transcendental level of 120, Ian would have to be burdened as well.

But in this complex terrain, the story changes.

I was confident that I could get even the Sacred Buff of the Earth thanks to the unsealed title, now that I was able to cut it into small pieces.

Bloop-.

‘If we're going to do that, we're going to have to get out through space distortion. Well, I don't think that's gonna happen. ’

Ian, who had confirmed many coordinates in order to activate the spatial distortion, flew into the darkness without hesitation.

With the smallest of dragons riding on the slimmest of iron, even through complex terrain was as natural as running water.

Flash-!

Shortly thereafter, Ian soon found traces of an ambush.

‘Huh, you're still here. ’

Ian was able to find ambushers without difficulty, even though the darkness made him unable to see properly.

It was brought in coordinate information in the first place, and it was not completely erased because of the number of thirty people.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to confirm the level of the enemy, but Ian stops for now.

It was because Ian was more likely to be found when he got closer.

Let's start hunting, shall we? ’

Bloop-!

Ian, situated in the corner of the quarry, carefully summoned Magran.

- Yes, sir.

“Shh!”

Ian then quickly opens his mouth again in a small voice with his finger in his mouth so that Magran doesn't talk.

“Do not expose your location. ”

- Got it.

“Hunters can't just run away. ”

- Hmm, is that them?

“Yes."

Ian estimates the distance to the ambushers is approximately 100 meters.

Weeing-!

- You have triggered a unique 'Weakness Detection’ ability!

- Capture the target's weakness.

Ian raises his left hand toward the red dots that rise in the darkness.

Glug-ug-!

Then the flaming longbow is summoned onto his hand, which is rounded.

- It triggers spirit magic, the fiery hour of hell.

Margin-.

Ian's mouth curled up as he naturally pulled the demonstration.

‘Before we go on a full-scale hunt...... shall we check the power? ’

Ian's eyes started flashing, aiming for the red dot.

Ping-Ping-!

Within a few moments, a flaming arrow bursts into the air.

* * *

“Hehe, I see you're passing without a thought. ”

“I see. At least I thought I'd check this place once.... They're NPCs, aren't they? ”

“This is how we thank you. ”

A dark valley on the side of the canyon.

A cheerful smile catches Jorgand and Lucal's mouth as he watches the road through the rocks.

Exactly at the time they predicted, an army of spirit systems entered the canyon, and without a doubt was passing right in front of their ambush.

Of course, it seemed to be a power source, but it didn't matter.

All of the advance troops that were led by the two of them were also strong, because the guerrilla war was not an all-out war anyway.

In addition to the NPCs, Lucal and Jorgand were also confident as they included many Aces of the Dark Blood Guild.

Just then, a mechanical soldier approached and spoke to two people looking down the canyon.

Grubby-.

“When will you attack, commander? ”

“Wait. It's still early. ”

“These guys are delicious. It's unbearable.”

Among the army of Destruction Mechanical Soldiers, there were often those with unique abilities called "Draining Life."

And this unique ability is the ability to absorb the energy of the opponent.

Since their vitality, as well as their stats, was unique enough to absorb some of it, a high level of Selamus warriors seemed inevitable to them.

But there were people who were warmer than those guys.

It was the guild members of the Dark Blood Guild.

“Yorgand, shouldn't you be too formal and yield moderately? ”

“Hehe, it's what you're good at. Do I have to take care of that? ”

From their point of view, the Selamus warriors were higher-level Epic monsters, well over 100 levels, and they were the rankers who knew better than anyone how great their rewards were.

The guild members of the Dark Blood guild are more excited than ever before.

“The Knight Leader should take care of his crew. I don't think you're being too harsh. Huhu.”

“I know. That Jorgand guy really needs to know his greed. ”

However, their happiness circuits did not last long.

“I just have to wait 30 more seconds. Looks like it's better to stab the back than hit the back. ”

“Okay, Master. I'll just wait for the order. ”

“Okay, we're all set! ”

The moment when a full-scale attack was about to begin.

Phi Jung - Shusheng -!

An arrow came out of nowhere and blew a guild member's head off.

Papa Park-!

Phew!

Not a single shot, almost ten fire arrows.

Stuck in the head of exactly one person.

- Tyring!

- Party Member, Hugo's life force is depleted.

- Party Member ‘Hugo’ has left the game.

Hugo has left the party.

Since one of the guild members who was excited and chattering had evaporated so quickly, the mood that was excited had to cool down.

“Nu, who are you? ”

“Ambush!”

And at the same time, the dark blood guild members had no choice but to let their backs sweat down.

‘What the...! ’

The recently deceased user was a user of the warrior class and was a guild member in a somewhat tanking position.

Even with a whimsical headshot, I couldn't believe it melted away in an instant.

Especially after just talking to him, Jorgand was surprised to open his eyes.

‘The arrows are all in one place. This is the accuracy of the Guide Arrow... …. ’

The guide arrow was meant to be a guided arrow moving along the target, and generally the skills of the guide arrow family were largely devastating.

However, after the transcendental 80-level ranker disappeared in one fell swoop, Jorgand was stunned.

‘If I had been there, it would have been me. ’

Yorgand, who swallowed his thirsty saliva, focused his eyes toward the darkness where the arrows flew.

The surprise attack couldn't have ended once, so it moved in a reflexive fashion in response to further aggression.

“Prepare the anti-arrows! ”

“I understand, Jorgand. ”

Anti-Arrow is a shield skill that can be predicted only by skill names, but can effectively withstand a projection attack.

The shield amount itself was not higher than other shield skills, but it was a skill optimized for stopping arrows due to its siege type.

And the reason for this order was, of course, to prepare for further shooting.

Whoo-hoo!

As he expected, the flaming arrow continued to fly.

School-.

Dozens of fire arrows embroidering the darkness so quickly you can't even guess how many people are firing!

Puppet-!

But there were some unexpected parts of the guild, including the Jorgand and the Darkbloods.

Kuaang -!

It was that the destructive power of the fire arrows was not of ordinary skill.

“What the hell!”

“The shield is broken! Move!”

At least the Anti-Arrow Shield, which I thought would buy me enough time to deflate, melted away in an instant.

* * *

The Dark Blood's guild members are embarrassed, but there is one more who is equally embarrassed.

What, what is this? ’

Ironically, his identity was Ian, the one who shot the arrow.

"You can be this weak? What is the minimum level 120? ’

He was not surprised by anything else.

From Ian's point of view, it was just a shot to find out the level of power, since one of them evaporated.

Of course, the arrow was pinned to its exact weakness and even the Flame City sign was blown, but I had no idea that this one would die.

After all, the blood loss in the transcendental 120 levels was enormous, even for ordinary monsters.

“What, I could just grab them with an arrow? ”

So Ian hesitated for a while and continued to pour out the fiery poem.

You little...!

The Flame Hour was a conditional skill if enough summoning power was enough, so Ian couldn't have spread more than a dozen feet if he was willing and quick to do it.

Pumpeng-Pumpeng-!

A shield was summoned to block the arrow, but it was not much of a snag for Ian.

Unlike normal arrows, Ian's arrow was‘ Spirit Magic ’, and even if he had siege type defense power, the damage reduction effect was not great.

Papa-fak-!

Instead, it was just a sandbag that made the stack easier for Ian to build on fire.

Phew!

However, Ian, who was pouring out the flaming arrows, had no choice but to summon the flamethrower shortly after.

The user handles the opposing Pokémon more wisely than expected, moving the camp to a point where the arrow can no longer reach its trajectory.

Hey, that was fast. ’

Thanks to this, I couldn't reduce their numbers any more, but Ian didn't seem too disappointed.

Assassinating one individual was more than I expected, and apart from that, I was able to get some more information.

‘It was a mixture of extremely degraded tankers. I knew a 120-level machine army wouldn't melt so easily. ’

A little misunderstanding, of course (?), but we were able to determine their combat strength to some extent as planned.

‘Battle AI seems higher than I expected...... but this should be enough to wipe it out in no time.' ’

After releasing the flame, Ian pulls out a sword from his back.

- Tyring!

- Equipped with "The Abyssal Judge Sword" equipment.

- The power of the powerful Abyss begins to boil.

Then, riding the iron, a rapid swarm begins toward the front.

You little...!

‘That's the commander, it seems. I'd be happy to cut it off first. ’

Ian's vision catches Lucal's shadow casting a vigorous order from behind the camp.

So Ian began to approach Lukal without hesitation.

Of course, the others blocked Ian's path, but it didn't matter.

‘If I stacked a few flags and beat them up……. ’

He was confident that if he put a bomb in the symbol of the Judgment Blade, the ordinary soldiers would be removed in an instant.

But next time.

‘Yes...? ’

Ian again had to be embarrassed by the unexpected situation.

Kuang -!

- Legion of Destruction Soldier ‘?? You have inflicted fatal damage on'!

- ‘??? ’is completely depleted.

- ‘??? ’was successfully defeated!

A soldier of a mechanical civilization who thought he'd explode if he knocked a few of them down, he only swung his sword once, but it evaporated somewhere. (?) I threw it away.
