Kung-kung-kun!

“What is it?”

Glacier spires, 25th floor.

With a loud vibration coming from below, the man glares down.

Then another guy next to me gave me a pinky cup.

“Ralph, what are you doing? We're running out of time! ”

“I know, Chesk. Exactly 5: 30 left. ”

“Don't relax, Ralph. Don't you know you need to clear it a little sooner to get better rewards? ”

“Wait a minute. I think there's someone down there. ”

“ ……? ”

Ralph is the top ranker in the U.S. server and the number two user in the Warrior ranking.

He had only succeeded in organizing a spiritual expedition a few days ago, and was now passing through the second gate of the Frost Cave.

Total number of parties includes Ralph, the party leader.

Ralph the U.S. Server Warrior ranks 2nd and Chesk the 4th. It was Muel, ranked 14th in the priesthood, and Inisco, seventh in the summoner's ranking.

In fact, Ralph had known about the existence of the Spirit System for a week.

The only reason he was unable to enter was because he failed to save the ‘summoner’ who met the conditions.

Not more than 400 summoners are currently on U.S. servers.

It was yesterday that Ralph's party entered the Spirit Realm.

Because of this, he was very confused.

Has information already been leaked about the Spirit System? How did the successor get in here already? ’

Currently, most of the other rankers on the U.S. server have been assigned to the Rich King Episode Clear.

As far as Ralph knows, there's no one on the U.S. server who can target the spirit system right now.

Ralph's gaze begins to gleam sharply, looking down at the ledge.

Who the hell are you? ’

The middle of the spill-top is shredded.

And a spiral staircase wrapping around the space.

Ralph's eyes quickly start scanning the dungeon.

After a while…….

Found it!

In his eyes, I saw a man with a sword and shield.

A man who looks like a knight class by the look of the equipment.

Ralph, however, soon became an absurd face.

“What? Did... you come alone?" ”

Chester, who heard Ralph's muttering, intervenes next to you.

“What, who's really there? ”

“I told you.”

Looking down at the ledge from Ralph's point of view, Chester looks like Ralph.

“What's that guy doing? ”

“Any guesses who that is? ”

“No, I don't know. It's a knightclass... I can't confirm because my helmet is completely covered. ”

Ralph's face is noticeably crumpled.

I gave up all the Rich King Episode Contribution Points to monopolize the content and entered the spirit system, but I couldn't feel good being caught up with the successor so quickly.

‘If I could do a PK, I would cut off the roots...' This really bothers me. ’

Chester grabs Ralph's frowning hand and opens his mouth again.

“Let's worry about that later, and we'll move on to the next district, Ralph. Muel and Inisko are waiting for you. ”

“Hmmm, should I? ”

“And don't worry. ”

“Why?”

“He's going to be frustrated at this gate. ”

“ ……? ”

“How are the remaining knight classes going to get through here after losing the party? ”

“What do you mean, you lost the party? ”

“Think about it. How the hell did you get in here alone without a summoner? ”

“Ah…! ”

“He threw a party like we did, and then he must have been wiped out and left alone. ”

Ralph nods at Chesper's explanation.

I was embarrassed and left off too simple a premise.

The premise is that you cannot challenge the Plate Gateway without a Summoner.

And by this time, the face that had been crooked could be slightly straightened out.

"Yes, it is. It's the only difference. ’

A knight under attack surrounded by dozens of spirits (?) Looking at the class user, Ralph turns around without hesitation.

The story that the successor has joined a team can spread information about the spirit system at any time.

There is one more reason to hurry.

* * *

Sharp fragments of lava seep out of the gaping spirits' mouths.

The unique ability of Casa is reminiscent of lava cannons, the lava cannon Lava Cannon.

Five branches of lava streams poured down from all sides, and Ian's new leap into the air was falling toward it.

It was a situation that no one could escape, but Ian's expression was grave.

You can only relocate the flying lava stalk once more.

Whoo-hoo!

With a faint resonance sound, Ian's shield begins to glow blue.

“The Spirit of the Dragon! ”

Ian's mouth poured out a starter phrase of loquacious tone.

Later, around Ian, a blue light appeared.

And those blue lights created the shape of three translucent shields.

Weeing-!

A mysterious shaped shield appearing at three coordinates around Ian.

The three shields that were created at such a short time gap as difficult to recognize began to block the streams of lava spilling out, respectively.

Although the angles or coordinates could be slightly twisted, the souls of the three dragons were summoned precisely to the perfect location.

Quaquaquaquaquaquaqua-!

But not all of them were out of the picture yet.

The number of Lava Cannons that were fired wasn't three.

Two pieces of lava were still swarming towards Ian.

It was a really sudden situation.

If it falls to the ground like this, both pieces of lava will be directly on Ian.

At that moment, Ian, who was falling down, angles the shield down slightly.

‘Now……! ’

He pushed his shield towards the first piece of lava he reached.

And that moment.

Kuaa-!

With the pressure of the lava taken by the shield, Ian's kidney is pushed out slightly backwards.

Kung-!

The blown lava furnace landed just behind where it was supposed to fall, using its power.

And as Ian was pushed away, the last piece of lava swooped past him.

Fuck!

Ian then remembered three lines of system messages in front of his eyes.

- You have successfully blocked the shield!

- You absorbed 88.75 percent of Rava Cannon's power!

- 174 HP Reduction!

- The 'Fury of the Dragon’ ability is triggered.

- Increases attack by 0.5 percent.

The controls that Ian just showed me were by perfect design.

From the coordinates that summoned the three shields, to the final moments of lava recoil.

All actions were calculated.

‘Time difference was faster than I expected. ’

Five casas cast their unique abilities at the same time, but the distance from Ian was different.

So Ian blocked three tubes of lava first, except the nearest Casa and the farthest Casa.

Using the time difference between the two stems of lava with the greatest distance difference, they twisted the coordinates to land.

It was theoretically possible calculations and movements.

Ian mutters in a small voice, checking his peeled vitality.

“This is stronger than I thought. ”

It absorbed nearly 90 percent of the damage, dealing 174 damage.

That is, if it were true, it would have been nearly 1,600.

‘Three strikes would have killed him. ’

Now that the item's stats are all zero, Ian's transcendent HP is less than 5,000.

If the damage is about 4800, it's natural to go straight to the goal.

Though it was the power I had expected, I couldn't help but notice that my backbone was cold.

‘I need to stay alert. ’

Ian, who was in position, retrieved his shield.

Now that we've overcome the crisis, it's time to strike back.

Let's start with the skins that have no abilities. ’

Ian quickly glances around and quickly sprints forward.

Blame-!

The Wind Spirits' Silas' rushed in, but the target was Casa in the back.

Peek-a-boo!

Ian moves his shield and starts swinging the Bloody Levangie, which lightly prevents the Silas from attacking.

And at the same time, the system message blurred and came to mind.

- Tyring!

- The 'Fury of the Dragon’ ability is triggered.

- Increases attack by 0.5 percent.

- The 'Fury of the Dragon’ ability is triggered.

- Increases attack by 0.5 percent.

Ian's strategy was very simple at the moment.

We want to build a full stack of buff stacks first, using Silaps with high attack speed.

An attack buff with the unique 'Fury of the Earrings’ power that stacks 0.5 percent each time it is successful in shield block.

If you stop the Silas from attacking, you should be able to stack up to the maximum of 100 stacks.

Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka!

Moreover, the fury of the noble dragons had the ability to reflect the damage that was absorbed at a 15 percent chance.

- The 'Fury of the Dragon’ ability is triggered.

- Deals damage to Lesser Wind Spirit ‘Silaf’.

- 487 damage dealt to 'Silaf’!

Minor Spirits whose HP is close to 10,000, but the accumulation of 400 to 500 damage is not negligible.

By defending himself, Ian was able to metallurgically gnaw away the life force of the Silas.

“Tsk, tsk...! ”

Ian squeezes through the Silas, relentlessly firing his shield block, and starts attacking Casa, who was closest to him.

Crack - Crack -!

Ian's blade is extremely sharp, as there's already quite an overlap of attack buffs.

In addition, Casa was a magical attack spirit, making her tank much weaker than Silaf.

-Disposed fatal damage to Lesser Spirit of Fire, Casa!

- Casa reduces HP by 502.

- Casa decreases Health by 635.

Once the attack begins properly, the HP gauge is sheared off.

But Ian's gauge of life wasn't that good either.

- Remaining HP: 2,984

Even if you succeed in blocking the shield, you do not get zero damage, so the accumulated damage was taken.

Of course, there are times when you can't evade or stop, and you allow an attack.

From time to time, Ian checked the overlap status of the 'Fury of the Earrings’ buff, checking for diminishing vitality.

‘38 overlap……. I don't think we can hold out long enough for Full Tech to build. ’

When a noble dragon's Rage Stack is 100 stacks, it buffs the Attack stat, but also activates another stat.

Being ‘invincible’ temporarily for 5 seconds.

But before you build up 100 overlaps, you seem to run out of health first.

‘If so, I have no choice. ’

Ian moves more aggressively and starts slashing Casa.

That's how 20 seconds went by?

Ian brings one casa to a near-death state at the same time.

At that moment, the unique power of the water spirit, Woundee, who was following Ian, was triggered.

- Water's own power, the blessing of water, has been triggered by the lower spirit of water, Woundee.

A clear and clear shield that floats around Ian with blue light.

Ian then leaps his shield back and plunges into Casa's front.

A flame was protruding from Casa's mouth, but it didn't matter.

No, I had to punch that fireball as far ahead as I could.

That way you can fill up your life depleted.

- Casa has been devastated!

- Water shield engaged.

- Heals 1209 HP.

In addition, Silaf's stabbing attacks from the rear were accepted.

- Recover 598 HP.

- Heals 759 Health.

It was natural that Ian's life force, which had fallen to the ground, was full again.

The duration of his‘ blessing of water ’unique ability was only 3 seconds, but that was enough for Ian.

Whoo-hoo!

With its full role, the transparent shield is blurry and melts into the air.

Now, in order to reuse the blessing of water, we need to last 27 more seconds.

‘There's the wrath of the noble dragon. That should hold. ’

After completing the combat cycle, Ian begins to run wild.

Starting with the damage calculation, all the designs were complete, so there was no need to hesitate now.

- The 'Fury of the Dragon’ ability is triggered.

- He's invincible.

Ian slashes spirits like crazy with a bloody sword.

But what was unusual was that, despite Ian's rampage, not a single spirit had died yet.

However, most of the lives of more than a dozen spirits fell to less than half.

Ian wasn't after one, he was devouring the life force of as many spirits as he could.

How long has that been going on?

- Tyring!

In Ian's eyes, I remembered a line of system messages that had been waiting for me.

- Your ‘Blood Split’ unique abilities are ready to activate.

The red mist started to rise again from the blood sword in Ian's hand.
