Taming Master

< 7/07. Knight of the Prince, Jakan (3) >

* * *

Just as Ian predicted.

No, just as everyone on this battlefield expected.

His combat abilities were strong enough to be "out of specification."

Every time his sword was swinging, he entered only the realm of the swirling Wind, but his life force was nearly cut in half at once.

Kuaa-!

- You're just gonna run away like a rat!

It was the Dark Boat Ghost summoned by the Jaekans that made the difficulty even more hell.

Tanoskia, a ghost horse ridden by knights of the monarch named 'Kaloskia’, is another appearance, a fierce and powerful ghost horse.

In addition, unlike Tanoski, who has some information, Kaloskia is the first ghost to see even a hunch with information that is profound to the undead.

The moment he was first summoned, the expedition of the Baller Guild had to face a great crisis.

- The unique power of the ghost horse Kaloskia, the Ghost Forest, is triggered.

- Increases the cooldown of all party members by 50 seconds

“What...? ”

“Madness!”

- All enemies with ‘Undead’ type physical attack power increased by 80% for 60 seconds.

- The unique abilities of all enemies with the 'Undead’ type will change to 'Instant' status.

“What a deceptive skill...! ”

There was no way to know from the user's point of view, but the ‘Ghost Forest’ unique ability was actually a one-time skill.

It was a very limited skill that only triggered once the first time it was summoned, giving a powerful effect to the battlefield.

Of course, it can be reactivated when summoned, but it was a skill that was difficult to activate more than once in a battlefield.

Because of such limitations, the Phantom Forest had enormous specs, which were enough to shake the forces of the Valler guild.

“All the way back! ”

“Hold on for 50 seconds at all costs! ”

All of the unique abilities of the Jade Khan and his forces were loaded, while all of the users were pushed back 50 seconds to use their skills, so it was suicide to fight now.

However, fortunately, it was possible to ‘resist’ the effects of this demonic rain.

The effect of pushing back the cooldown of the skill was also resistant to the resistance stat, and it was only responding because there were successful users in the resistance.

I'll kill every last one of them!

The Jacques get excited, and the Valler guild members rush to evade the attack and hold out.

Kung-!

Kuaang -!

In the meantime, if life force falls below half, we don't know when the unique power of J-Chan's "Soul Eating" will be activated.

He had to concentrate all his mental strength on maintaining life.

‘50 seconds...... I can't even think of time. ’

Ian desperately started dragging his aggressor to stop Jacquard's spiritual trance.

It seemed like Ian had a much better chance of catching Aggro than the regular guild members.

This, of course, also brought tremendous risk.

“It's dangerous, Ian! Then, if you get one clean shot...! ”

Arcane stares at Ian with worried eyes.

Arkane, of course, had complete confidence in Ian's skills.

However, in situations where it is uncertain whether the condition for activating the 'soul suppression’ of the Jaekan is below a certain percentage of health, if Ian's soul is accidentally eroded, the attack will fail.

A general guild member was extremely threatening even when he was in a spiritual trance. If he thought Ian had become preoccupied and started rampaging on the other side of the expedition, it would be like total annihilation.

So it's only natural to worry about Arcane at some point.

But despite that concern, Ian had no intention of changing his position.

It was not that Ian didn't know the risks, but he had one scheme in mind.

‘It's a bit of a gamble...... but if this isn't the way, winning is a long shot. ’

Blame-!

Ian rushes to Jakan even more aggressively, despite the worry of the Arcane.

- Hehehe! He's got some nerve!

He was a little overwhelmed by Ian's actions, but it was only for a moment.

I thought there must be a reason for Ian to behave like that, and I decided that supporting him would increase my odds, rather than suspending him again.

Supporting Ian and making the most of his movements, we decided to improve the stability of the whole party.

“Priest classes must protect Ian at all costs! ”

“Just pull the tankers once and keep a safe distance! ”

And for such a swift order of arcane, Ian had no choice but to admire it.

"You're a master of the Baller Guild, too?" ’

Ian's judgment and movements were the best he could have wanted.

‘Okay, this should make it easier. ’

Of course, Ian is said to be the best ranker in the world, but this party is finally a Baller Guild party.

If the inside of the arcane were narrow, it wouldn't be strange if Ian didn't seem like an arbitrary act.

But Arkane rather began to support Ian, and Ian valued this very highly.

‘As long as it's like this, we have to succeed somehow. ’

Ian's eyes light up, confirming that the jacan's sword is flying.

A little bit higher than the success rate of gambling thanks to Arcane.

Boom!

Ian, who had dodged the Great Sword, began his counterattack on the Jaqen, and once he confirmed it, he was somewhat embarrassed.

- Norm!

In a situation where the effects of the Phantom Forest had not yet been completed, Ian had not expected to attack himself upside down.

Boom-boom-!

Even though he wielded only physically without any unique abilities, Ian's Judgment Sword was quite painful.

- You have inflicted catastrophic damage on the Knight of Hell, the Jaycans!

Even if the target is a "Jaqen" with the most powerful combat abilities.

- Increases the health of "Jacques" by 1,912.

- -2028 HP for 'Jacán’.

Kuung-!

Ian's successive assassinations have reduced his life force by nearly 10%, and from his point of view, he could not have imagined this much damage.

But Jakan was no longer embarrassed.

Rather, his face was smiling as he stared at Ian.

- He's funny. It's been a while.

Before he was a boss monster, the knight commander, Jakan, had an unmanned ambition.

Of course, when Ian heard his dialogue, he looked ridiculous.

“What, you get hit and excited? ”

- ……!

“Are you a pervert? ”

- I'll kill you...!

At Ian's words, the furious Jacques start rushing towards Ian with a mad swing of his sword.

Huh-uh.

Kuaa-!

Ian calmly counteracted, avoiding the attacks by the Jacans, but there was no harm done.

- Critical damage from "Knight of the King"!

- HP reduced by 920!

- The party member's unique ability, 'Cure Flow’, is triggered.

- Recovers 580 HP.

- Recovers 580 HP.

- Strong Swordsmanship reduces your health!

- HP reduced by 1,201.

…… shorthand…….

While Ian was dealing with the Jaekans, the knights of the monarch he summoned did not stand idly by, and despite the full support of the healers, Ian's life was reduced by metallurgy.

‘You're strong. Soon my vitals will drop by half. ’

However, unlike the Baller guild members, Ian was increasingly calm as his vitality decreased.

In fact, his life span was somewhat within his intentions.

‘45…… 46……. ’

Rather, Ian was counting his time, even in fierce battles.

Reuse latency of 50 seconds pushed by a ghost rain.

to know exactly when that time will end.

And at the end of that 50-second time,

“Tea-hot-!"

Ian, who did one piece of mechanization, leaps into the jacan's sword.

And with Ian's sudden actions, this time, the arcane was forced to explode without my knowledge.

“Ahh!”

Even Ian almost caused his life force to drop to less than half the moment he went through that sword.

At the same time, he shouted at Ian.

“Bro, are you crazy? You have to think of soul-eating!”

The expedition members of the Baller Guild were staring at Ian while swallowing dry saliva.

And the situation they were worried about eventually happened.

-Kehahahaha! Fool...!

When he saw Ian running towards himself, Jacques flashed his arms as he burst into the light.

Goooooo-!

The jacan's eyes then start to glow red, and the raging air currents around him begin to surge.

- The Knight of Hell, the Jaqen, uses his unique ability, Soul Eating (Enhancement).

- A powerful dark spirit consumes a weak soul.

Kugu...!

Hun was worried from the beginning, and everyone on this battlefield was worried about his unique ability, Soul Eating.

It was triggered towards Ian as no one else, and that means that this battle is becoming increasingly colorful.

However, Hun, who was embarrassed, soon felt strange.

"What? Did you mean that? ’

Despite the soul-eating, Ian's movements were completely undisturbed.

In other words, Ian seemed to have already expected this situation.

What the hell are you doing? ’

Nervousness and anxiety.

And curiosity coexisted in Hun's eyes.

However, it did not take long for the emotion that Hun entangled his eyes to turn into ‘horror.’

Whoo-hoo!

Lugarix and Elkarix were dealing with the Knights of the Plunder behind Ian.

The twin sisters' hands started flashing towards Ian.

“ ……! ”

- The party member Ian's summoner, Lugaryx 'unique ability, is triggered by his "brilliant brain."

- The party member Ian's summoner, the unique ability of Elkarix, is triggered.

- The party member "Ian" summoned the unique ability of "Lugaryx", "The Battle of Knowledge".

- The party member 'Ian’ summons the unique ability of 'Elkarix’, 'The Battle of Knowledge'.

“Crazy……!? ”

As soon as the white light from the two dragons was drawn to Ian, the energy of the supper from the sword of the jacan wrapped around Ian.

Goooooo-!

Then an unbelievable line of messages appeared before the eyes of all the party members.

- Tyring!

- Party Member Ian has resisted the unique ability of the Jaekan Soul Eating!
