Taming Master

< 978Redeem, La Catorium (3) >

The interior of the barn was increasingly dark as it went down.

The light coming down from above is dwindling, as it gets deeper and deeper into the darkness below.

So Ian had to light the fire with the help of Elkarix.

“El, show me the way. ”

“Okay, Dad. ”

With magical clan unique abilities, Elkarix was able to use most of the magic in low circles, instantly triggering one of the wizard's basic skills, the Light Skill.

Flash-!

Of course, it was difficult to illuminate all the depths of darkness with it, but at least 10 meters of vision was possible.

‘Bolt...... I told you to watch out for bolts. ’

Ian starts to descend as slowly as possible, keeping a close eye on the field of view that the Elkarix has secured.

Surprisingly, the entrance didn't have any other hazards, but I felt strongly about going to the goal as soon as I slowed down.

‘Maybe it's not just the bolt. I'm sure it's full of machine monsters. ’

And that's when Ian was thinking about things.

Sparkle!

In Ian's eyes, there was a small object that sparkled a blue light.

It's a lightning bolt!

After discovering the iron bolt, Ian pulls back the iron in a reflexive manner.

I didn't know what the range of the crossbow was, but if it was within the visible range revealed by Elkarix, it would be well within the range.

And Ian's expectations were exactly right.

Ping-Ping-Ping-!

Not only did Ian find the bolts, but the surrounding bolts all fired steel arrows.

It's not an arrow, it's a bullet.

Steel Bracelets Fly Nearly Straight Towards Ian!

You little...!

Ian, who had almost avoided it, immediately began his inversion.

Using Magrifa's power, he took out the fiery poem of hell and quickly blew the speaker away.

Pipping-!

Of course, Ian's group falls a long way out of the crossbow range, but on the contrary, Ian's arrows reach all the way to the crossbow.

Since the location of the bolt was much lower than Ian's, it is not confined to the distance.

A crossbow that needs to be shot up and down loses its power at some distance, but Ian's arrows that shoot up and down can reach at least twice that distance.

The only problem was that as the distance got further away, the position of the bolt was obscured in the dark, so it became invisible, which was good (?).

Pung-punk-!

Since the bolt is not able to move, it is fixed in place, so if you remember the coordinates and shoot them, you can fit them well enough.

Of course, it was never that easy.

- Party Member Ian has destroyed the Steel Machine Bolt!

Jonathan had already stolen and opened his mouth when he saw the message that the bolt had been destroyed.

“Weren't you... a summoner? ”

“That's right.”

“What makes you so good with a bow? ”

“He was a former archer. ”

“This madness……. ”

In fact, if you are a high-level archer with enough experience to gain entry into the midfield, Ian was right about most of what he just showed you.

But it was the story of a time when Ian had a passive archer class to correct accuracy, and Ian was indeed a summoner.

Ian's performance was not something that anyone could do without such additional correction, and he quickly broke three of his iron chains.

Knowing these facts, Jonathan was astonished.

‘What is a real physical……. ’

And Elisha, NPC, couldn't help but be surprised by Ian's role.

- I knew it, Ian...! I saw the right man!

“Hehe, you're welcome. ”

However, unlike Jonathan, Elisha was surprised not only by Ian's archery skills.

Since she had gained more trust in Ian's appearance of calmly responding to a steel bolt.

The group goes deeper and deeper, destroying more of Ian's reinforcements.

And would he have destroyed dozens more than that?

Ian's group, who smoothly attacked the dungeon, is finally faced with the first hurdle.

Pipping-!

An arrow that Ian sent down towards the iron box was wrapped in a black vortex, and a huge noise began to spread.

Giiiing-!

Kugu Palace!

Ian was slightly embarrassed and asked Elisha reflexively.

“Elisha, what is this? ”

- Wait a minute……!

Elisha then steps down, avoiding the crossbow, checking for loud voices and shouting again.

- It's Carglus!

“Kag...... Ruth? ”

- Warden of the encephalogram.

As I listened to Elisha, Ian's gaze was fixed on the great whirlpool.

After a short while, a massive body-shaped monster slowly emerges in a great whirlpool of darkness, accompanied by a loud noise.

-Mechanical Carousel/Lv.180 (transcendent)

Ian then confirmed the shape of the machine monster that appeared out of the darkness. He had to look a little embarrassed.

“Ears, Ears...? ”

* * *

The summoners of Kailan are incredibly complex and have various evolution trees.

Even if the novice summoner only sees the wolf, the most easily accessible summoner.

It was designed to evolve into various parent entities based on their attributes.

In the case of Ian's first summoner, Rye, if he had evolved through the Red Mane Wolf to 'Fenrir’.

In the case of the blue-maned wolf that Ian had not raised, it was supposed to evolve into the four-legged wolf, the Hatti.

There are even summoners that evolve through all ranks from normal to rare, unique, heroic, and legendary, while some have evolved straight from unique to legendary.

Even Ian, a hobby of summoners' research, can't memorize the evolution tree of all summoners.

However, there were those that Ian knew almost every evolution tree, and that was the tribe of summoners that Ian had.

Turtles, dragons, and tigers and wolves have studied so well that there are no unknown summons or evolutionary trees.

Ian was surprised by this.

The machine monster that appeared before me was clearly in the shape of a tight-like species, the legendary grade 'Earring', because he had a name he had never heard before.

Of course, he was no ordinary summoner, but a machine monster.

However, since his name was also 'Machine Carousel,' there is a good chance that there is an ordinary summoner named Carouse somewhere.

Machine monsters with that name used to have a lot of motifs for existing summons.

‘There will be hundreds of Tuttles that have evolved in your laboratory so far.... A noble dragon by the name of Cargruth has yet to evolve. ’

Maybe it's because it's made of bossy monsters, but it's three or four boasts a huge body.

Carglus turns his giant dragon-like head and stares at Ian's group, revealing sharp teeth.

Gigging- Giying-!

- Cocky trespassers…….

Then a large mechanical snake wrapped around Cargruth's shell also began to flap its tongue and threaten Ian's group.

- Walking into a barn... Stupid Humans.

“I didn't walk in, I flew in.... ”

Shut up!

Fuck!

The serpent's head opens its mouth and roars, spraying a red-bottomed liquid toward Ian's group.

An extensive attack with powerful poison at first sight.

Ian, who confirmed it, immediately triggered the unique ability of many.

“Plenty, glacial tents! ”

Kugurung-!

A huge stream of water gushed from the mouth of many people, creating a cool tent and stopping the poison.

Shhh!

- Die, weaklings!

That led to a full-scale battle with Mechanical Carousel.

* * *

Mechanical Carousel was very powerful.

But that doesn't make it any stronger than Pickenlo, commander of the Destruction.

‘I think I've got twice as many cuffs...... but I think it's a noble dragon, so it's closer to the tanker. ’

It was true that one blow was an ignorantly powerful attack, but it was easy to avoid because it was very slow.

Even so, the boss' difficulty was mediocre, since he didn't have any special broad area crowd control skills.

But that wasn't the case when I saw only one boss, not that this boss phase itself was easy.

At the start of the battle with Cargruth, intricate and powerful mechanical institutions appeared around him.

Ping-Ping-!

The steel bolt that threatened Ian's group from the beginning was the foundation.

Grrr-grrr-grrr!

Evil long plate debuff that reduces movement speed throughout the field.

Moreover, dealing with Carglus in a field with nowhere to go, and avoiding all the concussion attacks in the meantime, was truly close to hell's difficulty.

Shhhhhhhhh!

That's why Jonathan, who was attacking Carglus using his dogma, shouted out in an urgent voice to Ian.

“Ian! Destroy the bolt first! ”

Before the debuff ledge came down, I was putting the deals away.

The pace of movement is rapidly slowing down.Even Jonathan can't avoid all the heavy metal.

Blah, blah!

And as frightening as Jonathan's voice sounded, Ian's arrow exploded two bolts of iron.

Kwam-Kwa-ang!

Nice!

But after a while, Jonathan had to look embarrassed again.

“No, Ian, what are you doing! Destroy the rest!”

Of the five coils created around Cargruth, Ian, who destroyed only two of them, began targeting Cargrus again.

For some reason, the remaining irons are not meant to be destroyed first.

And after hearing Ian's words, Jonathan had no choice but to look ridiculous.

“We have to save three. ”

Even though it was hard to survive with one bolt, not three, it is said that it deliberately leaves three bolts behind.

“What the hell! ”

“I'll explain why. ”

“I can't stand it, not like this! ”

“I will let you survive. ”

“ ……? ”

Jonathan was unable to understand Ian's actions, but he eventually had to follow his orders.

Either way, Ian was the control tower that was moving this party, and he wouldn't have made that order without thinking.

Of course, the amount of dealing with the boss was reduced by less than half while avoiding the arrows fired by the three bolts, but I guess Ian has an idea.

And it's been, what, five minutes?

Eventually, Jonathan was forced to accept one arrow.

“Ahhh...! ”

When you avoid Cargruth's peculiar attacks, you will be exposed to a singular number.

‘Dammit, you're not going to die in one shot, are you? ’

But next time.

“ ……? ”

Once again, Jonathan was stunned.

Whoo-hoo!

- The party member Ian used the Spirit Magic Protective Shield of Power.

…… shorthand…….

Instantaneously unknown (?) The shield overlaps in an instant, absorbing Jonathan's thunderbolt.

Then the next moment.

Kuaa-!

A massive turquoise wave begins to erupt into the battlefield.
