Taming Master

< 983 Battlefield (1) >

The structure of the machine altar was extremely complex.

But it's just the complexity of moving around inside.

If you look at the large altar from the outside, the overall structure was rather simple.

The structure of a diamond made out of machinery was layered up, like a pyramid, rising sharply in the sky.

But as soon as Ian reached the top of the altar, he reached the last phase.

A huge machine altar, a simple model of a pyramid, began to deform with a bang.

Gei-ing - Gesture -!

Queek, queek!

As if the pyramid had collapsed, the upper part of the pyramid, except the top, began to gradually descend, and in the center of the buried pyramid, a huge battlefield of diamonds was formed.

And Ian watched the series of processes as he was nervous.

With this kind of performance, you must be the boss phase.

Where and how the battle will begin, there is no delay in tension.

Then, when all the noise had abated and the movement of the machine altar had stopped, Ian had to look a little suspicious.

Should I go in there? ’

The position of the serrated iron gate, which was thought to be the boss room, was moved to the bottom of the battlefield, and it seemed to fall underground as soon as I stepped into it, so I had to hesitate again.

However, Ian's concerns did not last long.

Bloop, bloop, bloop!

The grumbling iron rings, and the teeth start to move again and the iron doors open.

A slow iron gate that draws a huge circle at the center of a large arena.

Then, before Ian's eyes, a new system message began to emerge.

- The engine at the altar of the machine is operational.

- The conditions are met.

- The Guardian of the Altar wakes from his sleep.

- With the influence of dimensional magical power, a massive magnetic field begins to form.

- Due to the influence of the magnetic field, all beings with the ‘machine’ type stop working.

…… shorthand…….

Ian was certain of one thing when he saw the message.

‘This massive space has turned into a boss' room. ’

But at the same time, there was only one question.

"Magnetic field, by the way...... What is your intention?" ’

In fact, the Altar of Machines was a technological intensity created by the machine civilization, and almost all of the NPCs that were guarding it were made of machines.

It was not well understood that a magnetic field would be created on the boss page that would stop all the machinery from running.

So, you're saying the boss is not a machine? ’

Ian thought of things in his head, but did not take his eyes off the giant teeth in the middle of the arena.

And after a while, from beneath the giant hole made of mechanical teeth, the giant shadow slowly began to reveal itself.

-Dacatarus (Myth) (Transcendence)/Lv.200 (Transcendence)

“ ……! ”

Ian, who had confirmed its existence, had little to do with panic.

‘What the hell, crazy……! ’

I expected him to be as strong as the one guarding the last boss page, but even that even surpassed my expectations.

"Equal to the Spirit King"? ’

Once a mythical boss, level 200 transcendence which is also equivalent to that of the Spirit King.

Like HYDRA, the man with the three dragonbells looked down at Ian with six threatening eyes.

- Weak man...

A giant monster with the first name Takatarus.

Ian's eye contact with him became increasingly interesting.

Apart from being overwhelmed by his intimacy, I found some interesting facts.

‘Is this… a noble dragon evolution? ’

For one thing, Takatarus was definitely not a machine.

This is what was expected of me from the moment I learned about the existence of the magnetic field.

However, the ‘interesting part’ that Ian found was some peculiarity found in his appearance.

‘That symbol...... must have been engraved on Cargruth's shell. ’

Mechanical Cagres, the first jailer Ian's group met when they first entered this barn.

He was a ‘noble dragon’ that resembled the shape of a tight head, but he couldn't help thinking about the connection, because the body of this‘ Takatarus’ was engraved with the symbols on its shell.

I didn't know if it was a bit of an elixir, but I doubt it enough.

And as I came to this point, the assumption that Takatarus might be an evolutionary form of Kagurh began to grow stronger.

Because there are no shells and there are only three numbers on the head, the first impression was recognized as a different species.

The closer I looked, the more I could see the characteristics of noble dragons everywhere in my body.

‘Even the sharp projections like scales and the crust that sticks around like a shield...... Isn't this fun? ’

The reason Ian was interested in the shape of Takatarus was not because he wanted to look like an evolutionary form of a noble dragon.

Even if Ian suspects it's an evolutionary form of Cagres.

Even pre-evolutionary Carglus had no way of figuring out where to get it.

The only reason Ian was interested in Takatarus was because he was a ‘bald' who was secretly playing a tanker at Ian's party for a long time.

It was clear enough that Carglus was a tight-lipped dragon.

If Carglus can evolve, the assumption is that even the flicker can evolve.

Moreover, it was not ‘complete’.

Of course, even though the ’Not Evolvable’ tag was attached, if the 'Complete' means that the parent does not exist, then 'Not Evolvable’ means that the parent does exist but cannot evolve, and that means that it is not at all promising (?) was true.

"If we get rid of this guy, do we have any leads?" ’

Ian looks up at Takatarus, holding the Judgment Blade again, with a lot of thoughts in his mind in his spare time.

“Are you the guardian of this altar? ”

- Guardian...... and you call me that.

“ ……? ”

- I'm only guarding this place for a short while by contract with the Evil Lord.

“Hmm…? What's that supposed to mean? ”

- As long as you're curious, there's no reason to tell me more.

“Can't you tell me something? ”

- I don't want to waste my time talking to a dying man anyway.

Goooooo-!

Takatarus bares his sharp teeth and roars, raising his head toward the air.

And in response to that, Ian choked and tasted.

Speaking normally (?), but the seeds didn't work.

‘You little prick. ’

But as he began to move, Ian also began to prepare for combat.

‘It's not going to be easy. ’

And so, the final battle in the barn began.

* * *

Most of the elements that exist in Kailan all have their own reasons.

Particularly, the elements that make up dungeons or quests rarely exist, even small ones, without a reason.

That is why Ian could not lightly shed the ‘magnetic field’ element, which could be called the ‘characteristic’ of the boss phase.

‘There must be a reason. Reason for putting a magnetic field on the boss phase. ’

In the field of magnetic field flow, all machines stop moving.

To be precise, you will receive a powerful debuff that is almost the same as stopping movement.

And based on this, Ian was able to come up with an assumption.

‘Placing a magnetic field to block machine-type access means this boss' weakness is most likely machine-type. And it has to do with countermeasures. ’

The specs of the mythical boss at the transcendental level of 200 were now hard to match with Ian's power.

Once the basic stat coming from the level of 200 is amplified from the type 'boss’ and once from the level ‘myth’, it was okay to see that the specs were more than 300 levels on a typical monster basis.

That's why Ian didn't intend to deal with it in the first place.

A monster like this is normal (?) I wouldn't have made you do it the way you did it.

I don't know if it's more than a 100-level transcendent structure that's easy to capture. ’

So Ian quickly started exploring to confirm his assumptions.

We started the battle with the aim of gathering as much of his information as possible, rather than to inflict damage on Takatarus.

And Ian was able to get confidence in the family he had built, not difficult.

- The Party Member Jonathan has triggered a unique Dark Carnage ability.

- The Guardian of the Altar, Takatarus, has been devastated!

- Reduces the health of 'Takatarus’ by 172.

- Reduces the health of 'Takatarus’ by 119.

- Reduces the health of 'Takatarus’ by 163.

…… shorthand…….

Jonathan's attack, which easily draws hundreds of thousands of deals against a single target, didn't even give him gas.

“This madness...! ”

- You have inflicted fatal damage on Takatarus, the Guardian of the Altar!

- Because of the stigma of the marriage, power is amplified.

- Reduces the Durability of 'Takatarus’ by 165,423!

- The conditions are met.

- "Seal of Marriage" was imprinted.

- Reduces the Durability of 'Takatarus’ by 273,240!

- "Seal of Marriage" has been imprinted. (3Stack)

On the contrary, it was easy to penetrate the scales of the Black Man on the Judgment of the Spirit with the attributes of 'Zion.'

- Khh...! How can a human have the power of the Holy Spirit...!

Of course, a few hundred thousand attacks did not significantly diminish the HP of a 200-level boss, but it was confirmed that it still inflicts certain damage.

‘Phew, I'm glad my prediction was right... …. ’

However, finding that the attack on Zion attributes was a weakness did not make it easy to target him.

He had immense resistance to almost all of the attributes in addition to the Zion attributes, and Ian didn't have so many means to attack him with the Zion attributes.

He wasn't even a greedy opponent enough to defeat him one-on-one with the Judgment Sword of the Holy Spirit.

So Ian thought of one other idea.

What if we could get rid of this magnetic field? ’

Since it was hard for ordinary users to have a means of attacking the ‘Zion’ attribute unless they are machine type, I want to rethink the attacking method from the perspective of the general user.

And it's terrifying to think that way.

The two eyes of Ian who found something reminded me a little.
