Taming Master

* * *

Dark blue-blue gloom close to black darkness.

A strange white light flashes through the land of the abyss, hard to see.

Whoo-hoo!

Then with a flash of that instant.

“Cough.”

One black shadow sank down into the abyss.

A man staring into the dark with three swords, among the corpses that look beyond the ten spheres.

Chuck!

Ian opens his mouth in a low voice, a slight curl on one side of his mouth.

“What...? Is that all you've got against me? ”

Ian was the expression described above.

I was talking about it very casually on the outside, but it was only a while ago that I found some leisure.

When I first came out of the Spirit Land alone and was attacked by the Horsemen, even that was dangerous enough.

‘It's been a long time since I've seen such excitement. ’

Properties of a special map that all are fixed to transcendent level 1.

In addition, a sharp surprise of unexpected timing.

The Horsemen who ambushed Ian were definitely good users, and the number was already more than thirty. Even Ian couldn't help but be dangerous.

‘It could have been bad. I should have always known this was the right place. ’

Unlike the spirit system in which there is little interaction between users, the order is a lawless zone.

Seeing that human, horse and sheep factions coexist, it was no wonder that such an attack always happened.

However, there was a good reason why Ian did not expect an ambush.

One was that the field Ian was attacking was the top field that was hard to find for the user, and the other was because he had been in the system for too long.

And one more thing.

In fact, Ian Anil (? The biggest reason I did it was because I believed in myself.

At this point, from Ian's point of view, there was not a single Maestro threatening him.

In fact, if this were not an abyss of forgetfulness and a terrestrial field, it would probably have overwhelmed horseman users who ambushed him much easier and faster.

“I know there are still some friends left... How long will they stay hidden?" ”

Ian opened his mouth again, but the abyss was still quiet.

So Ian said again.

“If it doesn't show up, I'll find it myself. ”

In Kailan, depending on the nature of the map, the available field of view is limited by a thousand dimensions.

Visibility can be seen only for tens of meters away from a plain map, but for special conditions such as dark or foggy conditions, the visibility was reduced considerably.

And here, the Maw of Oblivion was an underwater map and a very dark field, so it was hard to get a good look at objects about five meters away.

And that particular environment worked very well for Ian.

Having an environment where you can hide yourself in combat against the majority was very useful in creating variables.

The properties of the map that make everyone level 1 were detrimental to Ian, but the combat environment that was beneficial to him offset the disadvantage to some extent.

So now Ian, who has won a perfect victory, has started hunting in reverse.

- Tyring!

-Unique ability, 'Acquiring Weaknesses’.

Weakness detection is a unique ability to show the weaknesses of nearby enemies in red light.

Ian's favorite unique ability to find weaknesses in broader radii based on his proficiency.

And today Ian was more useful in capturing this weakness than ever before.

Even the location of the invisible enemies to cover the darkness has been revealed.

It was never used this way because the range of trigger for weak spots was much narrower than the normal range of vision, but it is now very useful.

Shhhhh!

Ian's sword leaping into the air cuts through the currents and reaches out, and a huge shadow behind him protrudes forward.

Gaaaaaa-!

Ian's summons that spread his enormous wings, shining brightly through his eyes.

A long time ago, many wise dragons opened their big mouths, and a powerful Maelstrom gushed from their mouths.

Kuaa-!

And that vortex was deadly to the horsemen who were hiding themselves in the dark.

- The Horsemen??? You have inflicted fatal damage on '!

- The Horsemen??? "HP reduced by 10,912.

- The Horsemen??? "HP reduced by 13,092.

…… approximate……

- The Horsemen??? You have successfully defeated '.

- The Horsemen??? You have successfully defeated '.

-Respondence (transcendence) is increased by 500.

…… shorthand…….

As Ian, who was on the move, began to sweep through the battlefield in earnest, the Horse Rankers were swept away in an instant.

However, Ian's rampage did not last long.

“Wait…! ”

“ ……? ”

The moment Ian's sword was about to explode again, someone's urgent voice rang out in the darkness.

“Are you... Ian? ”

“Hmm…? ”

“Are you Ian?" I asked. ”

“Did you attack without knowing? ”

“ ……. ”

A man slowly walks out in front of Ian, who looks ridiculous.

Master Gabriel of the Gesto Guild.

Of course, he knew who Ian was and attacked him, but he had to lie to Ian about it.

“Yes. I raided the Valor Guild and had no idea Ian was here. ”

The reason he showed up now was to negotiate with Ian, and he couldn't confess.

With a calm look on his face, Ian opens his mouth, smiling deeply.

“Well, maybe. ”

“ ……. ”

“But wouldn't that make a difference? ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

“If the Horses and Humans meet here, isn't it natural to fight? ”

“Of course, but…. ”

“There's nothing wrong with you attacking me. It's natural.”

“ ……. ”

“I'm only attacking because I've also met users from enemy factions. ”

“Phew……. ”

With Ian's words intact, Gabriel sighs without my knowledge.

‘This isn't it... …. ’

If Ian were to wield his sword from here to the end, it would have been a near annihilation even if he had retreated.

That's why it was important for him, the Master, to finally negotiate with Ian to get out of this conflict.

So Gabriel spoke urgently again.

“You're absolutely right. ”

“Isn't that right? So we hit him again? ”

“Oh, no, wait! ”

“What else? ”

“Like you said, we have no ill feelings for each other. ”

“Why are you saying that again? ”

“That means there's room for negotiation. ”

“Negotiate……? ”

“Ian, I want to negotiate with you. ”

Ian's eyes gleam slightly in Gabriel's words.

Thought it was rolling the reed to avoid this crisis, but it was very interesting to negotiate separately from him.

Negotiation. What card are you trying to pull? ’

Ian has no idea about the Gesto Guild.

It was a guild I had never met before in the Knight War, and it was small (?) Since it was a guild, we don't even know who Gabriel is in Ian's eyes.

I wondered what card he would take out on the negotiating table.

“Hmm, negotiation... Of course it can. If you can offer me something that I might be able to tempt you with. ”

At the end of Ian's words, there was a moment of silence between the two of them.

And Ian looks at Gabriel's face with an interesting face.

After all, Gabriel's face seemed troubled to the end.

A moment later, Gabriel's words that followed after breaking the silence were very surprising.

“The armor of the Knights of Death you have. ”

“Hmm…? ”

“If you stop the attack here, I'll give you the rest of it." ”

* * *

As soon as he heard Gabriel's words, Ian was surprised.

"How do you know I have the captain's armor? ’

A general of the Knights of Death Armor swept away as a sign of the remaining king of Ian. (?), and now that it was in his inventory, he wondered how he knew it existed.

But Ian immediately cared about what he said without asking Gabriel.

Something instinctively stinks of information.

‘Let's hear what he has to say. It's not too late to answer any questions after you hear it. ’

And Ian's judgment was absolutely right.

“The rest of the Knight Captain's armor.... ”

“Yes. Perhaps you already know. I have a great sword and a helmet. ”

“Hmm……. ”

“The fact that you chose the Knight Captain Armor in the ruins tells me you know the value of these items. ”

Ian's brain begins to spin rapidly, listening to Gabriel.

Gabriel's words were very confusing, but we had to find a clue inside.

Is that the piece of armor you're wearing? ’

Ian quickly opened his inventory and checked "Armor of the Knights of Death."

When I first made my choice, I wanted to double check the information on the items I read about.

And then the next moment.

‘ ……! ’

Ian had to try to hide his surprised face.

The moment I checked the item's info window, I knew how Gabriel knew the device existed.

‘It was this...! ’

Then Ian's eyes began to flash again as all curiosity cleared up.
