Taming Master - 983 < 980Usd 7. Unexpected Encounter (2) >

* * *

When Elisha first followed Elisha’s guidance to the top of this‘ Debra Hill, ‘Elisha warned that the beginning of hell was the beginning of her journey to the bottom of the barn.

‘The bottom of the barn was called a cesspool, and from here on out was the real hell. ’

And the warning wasn’t just to scare Ian.

No one knows as well as Elisha how intimidating and powerful the guards of this mob are.

Of course, ordinary guards may not be as powerful as the warden, Cargruth, but unlike Cargrus alone, there were many of the guards in the Gang.

Given the relative difficulty, it is much more difficult to deal with multiple guards.

And Ian, who had heard such an explanation from Elisha, began to move as conservatively as possible.

“Kaka, please. ”

“Understood, master. Trust me.”

Porong- Porong-!

He was always ahead of Kaka, a great scout at Ian’s party, and began to move very slowly towards his destination.

Fortunately, thanks to Elisha, who knows the structure of the Resistance, she doesn’t have to wander around underground to find her way.

Ian’s group was able to suppress the guards protruding continuously from every corner of the tunnel, whether they were preparing for the bay.

“Jonathan, take the left! ”

“I see.”

Kwam! Kwam!

All the ordinary guards’ levels were over 150 levels, but it was possible to use Elisha’s unique abilities to minimize damage accumulation.

And Ian, who moved around in the gutter for about 20 minutes, was able to see to what extent the structure of this field was.

‘Every time there are three prisons on either side of the corridor, new guards appear in the field. ’

The number of guards who appeared at once was usually three to five.

It was common for three guards to be guarded per district, with the addition of executive guards covering several districts and name-level guards covering ten districts.

And the difficulty that Elisha described as “hell” was experienced in Phase, which appeared at once to executive class guards and name-grade guards.

In the case of a name-level guard, he had the strength to kneel before the warden, Khagros, except for the cuff.

Visibly visible transcendent levels, as well as 170 levels like Carlos.

However, it was not a level of difficulty outside Ian’s expected range.

Kuang -!

– You’ve defeated the Groundskeeper Totrakun!

-Named NPC defeated!

– Increases Reputation by 1000!

– You won the ‘Steel Medal of Lacatorium’ item.

…… Snapshot……

“Tsk, it’s clean again…! ”

“It was a little dangerous at the end, Ian. ”

“Dangerous. I haven’t even used the Dragonic Barrier yet. ”

“What’s that? ”

“You’ll find out when it gets more dangerous. ”

“ ……. ”

Rather, every time I killed one of the Named Guardians, Ian had a single chuckle.

The battle was a bit difficult, but the reward was enormous.

You earn a surpassing reputation of 1,000 each time you defeat one, and you also drop a single medal item from the Racathorium that sells for Dimensional Coins in the Auction House.

Most encouraging was the fact that the inexperience gauge that did not rise that much was close to 3% each time a named was killed.

You’re even a quest and want to sit in this mess for a few days!

Can’t we just have a little more farming here? I think I can go to save Elisha a little later… ’

Of course, Elisha was admiring the thought of Ian even though she didn’t know it.

– Killing the guards of the Gang so easily…

“Easily? Can’t you see we’re running out, Fairy Godmother?” ”

Elisha smiles and answers as Jonathan grumbles.

– Guards of the Jersey Gang are top combat agents in the charles academy.

“Hmmm.”

– You, too, Jonathan. You’re more powerful than any middleman I’ve ever met.

“Haha, haha. That’s it… of course… ”

Jonathan was revived from the compliment of Elisha.

And between the two, Ian, who was weighing the value of the quest in his head, eventually had to give up Norgada.

‘Hehe. Still, it would be better to proceed with the quest quickly. ’

Infinite Health (?), Jonathan was getting tired, and without Jonathan, Ian could not have done this much hunting on his own.

And most of all,

The value of the epic quest with the main story hanging could not be translated into experience points or goods.

So Ian grabs Jonathan’s hand, sitting weary.

“Now that we’ve repaired, let’s move on to the next section. ”

“Can’t you take a little more rest? ”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just get it over with and rest, my friend? ”

“Phew, got it. ”

Jonathan felt he was running low on stamina, but he was still very active.

The reward you agreed to receive from Ian (?), and each time you defeated the Named Guardians, the loot that you acquired was very attractive to him.

In spite of the loss of stamina, Ian’s group moves a little faster, whether the attack is more organized and sophisticated.

– All right, this is the last stop.

“Finally… I see the end.” ”

– This area’s probably guarded by a guard named Kerper. It uses two giant chain sickles as a free material.

“A huge chain sickle…. ”

“It shouldn’t be too hard if we can narrow it down. ”

The final coordinates that Elisha initially gave you are finally starting to appear on the mini-map.

– After you get rid of Kerper, you might want to get some rest.

“Are there any special mechanical monsters in the last section? ”

– Something like that, Ian. A more powerful one than Carglus, probably guarding my sealed “machine altar.”

After hearing Elisha’s explanation, Ian zooms in on the mini-map and looks a little more closely.

Then it began to be drawn in my mind, roughly how the battle would go.

‘Once we get rid of the guy named Kerper, the narrow passageway marked at the top of the mini-map will open…… I think it will be the last phase once we pass through here……. ’

The last section Elisha spoke of was definitely different from the structure of the mob that Ian’s group had passed by so far.

If only there were more prisons lined up on either side of the narrow corridor.

The last area where Elisha’s body was supposed to be sealed looked like a giant hexagon on a mini-map.

On the surface of the hexagon, if you look at the planes where there are countless small squares attached, you can guess that many prisons are connected around a large space.

‘Whew, if you think there’s going to be guards pouring out of those little prisons…’… that must be Boss Phase. ’

And most of Ian’s scenarios were correct.

Kuung-!

– You have successfully defeated the Keeper of Hell!

– You’ve defeated the Supreme Named NPC!

-Respondence (transcendence) is increased by 3000!

– You won the ‘Steel Medal of Lacatorium’ item.

…… approximate……

– You won the ‘Rusty Key of the Wasteland’ item!

– Qualified!

– You can now open the iron gate to the ‘Mechanical Altar’!

After killing Kerper as he suspected, he was able to open the back door to the altar.

“Well, let’s start the last maintenance here. ”

“About five minutes, right? ”

“No, I mean, aren’t you supposed to give us 10 minutes humanly? ”

“Okay, then 10 minutes. ”

“ ……. ”

So Ian and Jonathan began the final check before entering the boss phase.

More thoroughly than ever, all equipment settings and skill conditions have been checked.

Based on the difficulty level so far, you can guess how difficult the boss page is.

And while he was working on the wiring, Ian drew in his mind the progress of the next quest.

‘Now that you have successfully unsealed Elisha, we can go back to the spirit system to end the war. ’

Then Ian’s mouth went up without me even knowing it.

When we returned to the battlefield, Trowell would be there, and Elisha and Trowell, who had recovered their full strength, could be called to the battlefield at the same time.

‘Ugh, I can’t wait to do it! ’

First, Elisha alone would have a much more powerful stat to match the level of 200, as well as three additional unique abilities that could not be used at the moment.

You can even cast Trowell, the Spirit of the Earth king, on the battlefield to show you similar performance.

Ian will be able to use enormous combat strength, even if he is a one-man army.

Of course, it was a limited episode called “Dimensional War,” but in the meantime, there would be plenty of benefits.

And Ian, who was crazy enough to think about it, got up from his seat without even knowing it.

“Now, let’s move again. ”

“Hey, Mix! It’s only been seven minutes! ”

“Oh, really? Has it been 10 minutes…? ”

By the way, by the time Ian’s group’s final maintenance was finished like that,

– Pow!

Before Ian’s ears, something familiar and exotic (?) You hear a sound.

Buh-buh-bum-bum-bum-bum!

I don’t know where it is, but it sounded a lot like walking, but I heard it from a distance.

“What’s going on? Where’s the lot? ”

“A lot?”

And the next moment, Ian was embarrassed.

“I have to go into battle now, but I can’t just wander around. ”

“I’ve never moved, master. ”

“Hmm…? ”

I heard a lot of footsteps from a distance, but many were sitting still behind him.

The sound of many steps was so unique that it was difficult to follow, so Ian must be confused.

What is it? Are you hearing voices? ’

However, the strange sound that resembled the sound of many feet began to come closer to Ian’s ears.

Huh-huh-puh-puh-puh-puh!

It’s definitely a lot of walks, but it’s a strange and unnatural and unusual sound!

Now that Ian and the rest of the group have heard the sound, everyone’s gaze is fixed towards the darkness where the sound is heard.

Meanwhile, Rye and Carseus were asking questions with a curious look on their faces.

“Grrr, there are more like him. Grrr!”

“Lots and lots, didn’t you have a brother who lost you? ”

But their voices are deaf, more focused than anyone else, staring into the darkness!

And after a while.

Peek-a-boo!

In the darkness of the Sacrament’s Neptune, the protagonist of a small and cute silhouette reveals himself in front of the group.
