Taming Master - 1026 < 1023 Won 7. First Tribulation (1) >

Ian’s vision quickly darkens, and he naturally closes his eyes.

Then what came to mind was two concise lines of messages.

– You have entered your first ordeal.

– The “Heroes of the Battlefield” episode is live.

A heroic episode of the war? What is this? ‘

Ian slowly opened his closed eyes.

However, his black vision was not yet brightened enough to make him feel that his eyes were open.

Instead, someone’s voice blazes and starts pounding Ian’s ear.

We must reclaim the Dragon Spirit from the hands of the wicked!

At someone’s work that was big enough to resonate in his head, Ian was surprised for a moment.

But that sound was not the end.

Heh-heh-heh-heh.

Starting with the loud shout, many different sounds began to be heard in his silent ears.

Blah, blah!

Boom!

“Waaaah…! Charge!”

“Take down the temple of Ekaris! ”

And Ian’s vision, which was full of darkness, began to light up slowly, as so many sounds beat in his ears.

Ian was then able to approximate the situation around him.

‘You fell… in the middle of the battlefield? ’

A very pressing and intense scene was unfolding before his eyes, but apart from that, Ian was not particularly embarrassed or impatient.

After all, he still wasn’t in a position to do anything.

‘Where the hell am I, anyway? ’

At the moment, Ian was almost like an observer.

An observer who watches a fierce battlefield from a slightly higher point of view, like an Observer.

Of course, it was not a situation where he could move or do anything, but what Ian could do was gather as much information as he could in this unfolded view.

‘This is the battlefield Drakisis was talking about…… Ancient Heroes? ’

Ian opened his eyes and focused to contain as much information as possible in his head.

If we were to fall into the middle of this battlefield soon, it would be clear that we would need to use the information we have now.

And did the system read any of Ian’s thoughts?

Whoo-hoo!

Ian’s widespread vision quickly expanded and began to be drawn into the battlefield somewhere.

‘ ……! ’

And with him, what appeared to Ian was a relatively ordinary looking young man with a bigger sword than his body.

A bit unusual, though, is the fact that the blue dragon tattoo is engraved on the area from the clavicle to the chest.

Is this guy playing something important? ’

Ian quickly glances at the young man’s appearance, watching carefully as he fights.

But the more I watched him fight, the more suspicious Ian became.

The situation was that he thought he was the protagonist of the battlefield, but he was worse at fighting than the other characters.

Ka-chow.

“Ugh…! ”

A young man in front of his opponent’s camp who is facing a seemingly ordinary junkie, yet cannot escape the classics.

Seeing him like that, Ian became even more frustrated.

‘What the hell is he doing…? ’

And by the time Ian had such questions, a new ‘story’ had begun to unfold before his eyes.

“Lemus, a little more strength. ”

“Mür……! ”

“If you can’t do it, you’ll be relentless in giving them Mercy. ”

“That… will never happen!” ”

A young man called Remus was getting closer and closer to the enemy camp, being escorted by other NPCs around him.

Ian continued to watch his battles closely, and as a result, he was able to find something unusual.

“That Remus… I don’t think he has enough absolute battle stats.” ’

When Ian first saw Remus’ battle, he thought he was a lousy fighter.

But looking a little deeper, I realized that Remus’ own skills were not lacking.

The sense of the sword itself was very good, and it was very good at handling situations.

Battle AI itself is quite comparable to Ian’s zero-tier impostor, Caesar or Helheim.

However, Remus’ problem was that the absolute stat itself was lacking within this battlefield.

It was as if in a battlefield filled with 100 levels, 50 levels were struggling.

But under the watchful eye of other powerful NPCs, Lemur continued to advance.

After watching the tense battle scene, Ian swallowed a dry drink without even knowing it.

‘Khh, I think I’m going to die from one hit, but I’m holding out. ’

And when Ian came up with that idea,

– Tyring!

Along with a familiar system tone, I thought of a new message in Ian’s eyes.

– Possession of the ancient warrior Remus.

‘What…? ’

A sudden message like the clean wall that comes to mind at an unexpected time.

Ian was a little embarrassed for a moment, but the system didn’t take him for granted.

Two seconds before the message came to mind, he immediately left Ian in Remus’ body.

-Synchronization is complete.

– Take over the bravery of the warrior Remus.

…… shorthand…….

Then, in front of Ian’s eyes, new messages bloom.

But Ian couldn’t care less about it.

“Ahhh…! ”

The point of possession of Remus’ body was when dangerous projectiles flew away, and he had to concentrate his mind on getting rid of them and avoiding them.

You little…!

Ka-chow!

If Ian hadn’t been focused on fighting, he would have almost died if he hadn’t even started the quest.

And the other NPCs who saw Ian’s neat response were surprised and praised him.

“Brilliant, Remus! ”

“Excellent!”

But of course, Ian had no intention of responding to their metabolism.

Despite surviving the initial ordeal, it’s still a mess.

‘Let’s focus, focus…! ’

The urgent battle situation was also a situation, but now we need to check the system messages that are flashing before our eyes.

What Ian has to do on this battlefield.

The message contained ‘the contents’.

– Mission A: Get safely inside the temple of Ekaris.

– Time limit: 900 seconds

– When you complete Mission A, you will be awarded Mission B.

-If you die in the middle of a mission, you will fail the ‘Succession of Valor’ quest and all associated quests will be dropped.

* * *

Remus, as Ian guessed, was the warrior of the ancient battlefield Drakish mentioned.

And this battlefield that Ian now possessed was the battle of the ancient gods that allowed Remus to become a ‘hero’.

A historic battle in which the mercenaries were hanged by the death of the dragon while attacking the Temple of Evil Goddess Icharis to reclaim the lost Mercenary.

Merchants were a magical source of great power that sustained the dimension of the dragon, and if they were taken away by evil gods, the dragon would collapse slowly and perish.

The absence of Mercury did not mean that the dimension would collapse immediately, but it was a situation where a new magical force could not be generated, and the magical power that sustained the dimension was increasing, and it was bound to collapse.

And to conclude, Remus’ mission was to retrieve the Sealed Merchant from the Temple of Ekaris.

– It’s a death sentence, Remus.

– I know, Mr. Sekito.

– I… will believe you.

The battle of the Temple of Ekaris, which is the war of the gods, by the way, between the mercenaries and the evil gods.

However, there is one question here. The most important role in the war of the gods was the warrior ‘Remus’, who was the ‘middleman’.

Of course, Remus was no ordinary middleman.

He was, like, Ian at this point, the most talented middleman of all time.

Nevertheless, there was a huge gap between the personality and the threats of the middleman.

Remus was given this vital assignment for a reason.

– Ekaris……! You want the castle to be safe after all you’ve done?

– Hoho, I don’t think there’s any reason not to be.

– I will take back the Mercenary Spirit myself and exterminate you…!

– If you can do it. Sekaito.

– ……!

– It would be impossible without you breaking the laws of the dimension.

The temple of Ekaris was the place where the evil gods sealed the merciful.

So you can see it in the word “temple.”

This was a temple that existed in the Middle Ages, built by the souls of the Middle Ages to serve Icharis.

And this is why Remus joined the battle of the Temple of Ekaris.

– You wicked bitch…! You’re using the Temple!

The gods cannot exert all their power in the middle.

Even within a temple that worshipped gods other than themselves, they were not allowed to enter the footsteps.

And that’s why Evil Goddess Icarus sealed the Mercenary Spirit in her temple.

She couldn’t defend the Holy Spirit with her power from the Supreme God, Sekaito, but the story would be different if she sealed it in her temple.

There was no way to take the Sealed Mercury of the Temple, even if the Sekaito was the supreme god with more power than her.

So, Sekhito had no choice but to ask Remus, who was the best intermediary in Yongcheon.

– You have 30 minutes, Remus. We must somehow get inside the temple.

– Yes, Mr. Sekhito.

– My power will not last more than 30 minutes.

Sekaito expressed one of his powers, the ‘Phu Phu Phu’, and intended to somehow help Lemus get inside the temple of Ekaris.

The gods were supposed to halve their power in the middle.

If we could use the power we created for a while, we could do much more than that.

The temple of Ekaris was a medium-sized world, like the Dragon Spring.

It was almost impossible to penetrate many demons and reach the temple, even for Remus, so he used his power to reach it.

– Even if it is a cult made of my power, the evil gods will be able to exert their power here.

– That……!

– But until we reach the temple, my army and I will protect you from the evil gods at all costs.

Thus, the first task given to Ian possessed by Remus was to arrive safely in front of the Temple of Ekaris, under the protection of the dragons.

Blame it on pa-a-ang!

And as Ian began to melt into the battlefield, he was able to accomplish his first mission without too much difficulty.

– Tyring!

– You have successfully reached the Temple of Ekaris!

-Sekito’s “Faith” will be released.

– Qualified!

– Mission B is on!

But as soon as he entered the temple, Ian instinctively knew.

Kievik-!

From now on, this was the real starting point for this‘ Succession of Courage ‘quest.
