The Taming Master

Ian approached the Monarch of Abyss, looking at it as a precious thing for him to consume .

‘Did I take it too lightly because Level 100 players were able to clear it?’

Ian, who thought the dungeon was easy, didn’t have many trails of thoughts after that .

However, unlike his thoughts, he didn’t show a speck of hesitation or concern on his face .

‘It is a Legendary one at level 350… boss monster because it is stronger than Yankun . ’

Ian examined the Monarch of Abyss .

‘A large hammer chain… can it compete in a fast pace?’

On the other hand was Lilson, who had no intention of going against the boss, he had almost lost his soul .

From the mouth of the frightened Lilson, a few soulless words started to come out .

“This… Ian, no matter what I would opt to runaway…”

However, because of all the commotion happening because of the explosions, the words from Lilson couldn’t go through Ian’s ears, so Lilson just sat down .

“Huu, confirmed that one level is down…”

In fact, Lilson’s resignation from action was an obvious act .

It was his sense that it would be impossible for any player to take down a boss of level 350 all by himself .

Lilson couldn’t escape from the dungeon from the back as he would have to clear out the monster of level 190, and it was impossible to log out of a dungeon before clearing it out .

Lilson and Ian were like thrown away rats .

At least, that was what Lilson thought .

‘I’m so sorry, Ian . If you had known beforehand that this was such a strong dungeon to clear, you probably would have brought your guild members too…’

Though these were Lilson’s thoughts, he still thought he should watch the battle that would happen .

He believed if he knew what was happening, he could at least not be hit from it .

Lilson’s blurred eyes were now shining like lanterns .

‘It is a big monster, but when will a day come for one to witness a match of Ian’s this close . ’

Lilson hurriedly started to record a personal video .

‘I need to put this on video . ’

Lilson’s mind cleared . The battle between Ian and the Monarch of Abyss had begun .

Keuahh!

The Monarch of Abyss, an ancient giant, roared wildly .

[You deserve the Power of Abyss!!!]

Ian just nodded at it and laughed .

“Sure . ”

[If so, check it out right away!]

After the words stopped appearing, the Monarch of Abyss, lifted a hammer in both of his hands and swung it with a huge force towards the place where Ian was .

Kwang!

The size of the hump on the hammer was so huge it was bigger than Ian’s whole body .

When such a tremendous hammer hit the floor of the dungeon, the entire area began to shake as though an earthquake had occurred .

Kwa-Kwa-Kwang!

The boss was continuing to swing its weapon at Ian, but there was no way such a slow-paced attack could hit Ian . .

“Carsus, Breath cooldown time, we will talk when you get back . Ly and Harley attack with me”

Ian had deliberately pulled Bbookbbook back .

No matter how high the vitality and the armor defense of Bbookbbook were, he didn’t pay such price for the familiar to die .

‘It is not a kind of monster that can be taken down by tank . ’

If in a case, the level of Bbookbbook and the Boss monster was even a little bit similar, it might have a little worth to try out, but the level 150 difference was not something to be taken lightly .

Ian had immediately used Pin’s wide range buff and Harley’s power buff .

‘I have to maximize the difference of power . . !’

Moreover, when Ian walked over to the giant, he managed to make the overwhelming giant with a difference of level 150 move .

Dang!

Ian barely leaped into the air to avoid the giant hammer .

“Harley, this way!”

Harley, who moved quickly after the hand gesture Ian made, picked him up on his back .

Tta-tta!

Well, at the moment, apart from Bbookbbook, Harley was the lowest ranked among Ian’s familiars .

However, it had the agility much greater than the others, probably because it had a power buff which converted its other stats .

[Kuaah! You cockroach!]

Ian and Ly along with Pin, these three started to take down the vitality of the giant .

Kakakang-Kang-!

While attacking the giant, Ly’s long claws dug into the chain armor that was on him .

[The familiar ‘Ly’ has done tremendous damage to the ‘Monarch of Abyss’ . ]

[The health of the ‘Monarch of Abyss’ is reduced by 187698 . ]

At that moment, the giant’s gaze moved to the wound done to him . In this small gap, Ian had taken his Judgment of Spirit King and struck the giant to the ground .

Puak!

Ian’s spear sharply went and pierced the layers of chain and armor!

[Tremendous damage has been done to ‘The Monarch of Abyss’ . ]

[Health of ‘The Monarch of Abyss’ is decreased by 448739 . ]

The spear had gained another +20 power, and it began to shine .

[‘Lightening of Judgment’ was summoned . ]

[Added an additional 224368 light damage to the lord of Abyss . ]

[Decreased the movement speed of the ‘Monarch of Abyss’ by 20% (-30%) . ]

The ‘Lightening Judgment’ was a unique ability attached to the Judgment of the Spirit King .

The lightning judgment was capable of putting in action with a 10% chance, but with the Judgment of Spirit King power now grown to 30%, it was now activated to a 30% chance .

Whenever the strength goes up, it wasn’t just the attack power that rises, but the innate strength too .

Thought it didn’t increase the attack count, but it truly is a tremendous destructive power .

The only regretful part was that debuff of speed that was supposed to be caused because the lightning shock didn’t play a major role because the boss monster had great immune ability .

‘Too bad… even if it was just an electric shock, wasn’t able to completely use it . ’

Ian and the familiars were now taking the battle more seriously and nervously .

Specifically Ian, who was watching the giants movements with utmost concentration .

The more the battle continued, the more alone Ian had felt .

‘Uh…! It would have been a whole lot easier if I called out Kaizer or Yankun or Celia . ’

Celia’s ability to heal the familiars in the battle would have been a tremendous help to this one, the most lingering thoughts of Ian’s were on Kaizer and Yankun .

If all my familiars would have been there, I would have caught the boss .

“Ooh, uhh . ”

Ian’s breathing started to pick up a pace .

In this meantime, the vitality of the giant was decreasing .

“Master, be ready!”

At these words from Carusus, Ian jumped into the air to avoid the movement made by the giant .

“Now!”

A growing purple light began to be emitted from the mouth of Carusus .

Grrrr-!

The strong breath of a powerful dragon that was about to attack .

It took a little time before the breath was blown, but it was a short time gap in which the giant couldn’t escape .

If it had a debuff, it wasn’t truly known, but in the present situation, the giant had no place to take guard to avoid the breath .

Without any doubt, the breath of Carusus passed and engulfed the whole body of the giant .

Hwarhh!

Ian’s gauge automatically moved into the direction of the giant’s vitality gauge .

‘Hu, so now you’re half was done?’

The Monarch of Abyss’s life gauge began to flicker after being hit by the breath of Carusus .

Ian had stopped attacking and retreated .

‘I’m not sure what kind of new attack pattern will emerge, so I need to be at my utmost caution . ’

Many of the boss monsters in Kilian had various kinds of attack patterns .

Patterns were very different from each boss monster, so there was no possible way to assume they had a common pattern .

The attack pattern changed once life points hit 50% and another change when it hit 20% .

Ian watched the giant’s movements with nervousness .

‘Now what will you do? Magic? A recovery skill?’

The pattern Ian hated the most was of the Ly’s kind, who restored their life to the fullest .

The fact that a monster managed to fill its vitality in an instant proved that mac can be used .

In addition to it, there was a case that until it replenishes, it would be in an immune state, and if such cases did appear, it would be hard to push one’s luck .

Fortunately, the Monarch of Abyss didn’t fill its life . Instead, its body was gleaming with light, and all kinds of buffs were imposed on it, with awesome stats .

[Increase of all battle abilities of ‘Monarch of Abyss’ by 30%]

[Increase of health recovery state of ‘Monarch of Abyss’ by 15%]

[‘Monarch of Abyss’ special ability ‘Abyss’ has been activated . ]

[For the next 15 minutes, the defense of the ‘Monarch of Abyss’ is increased by 27 . 5% and reduced the opponent’s movement by 30% when hit . (The slowing effect can’t be overdone . )]

As he read the system message, Ian’s expression faded .

‘Hu, isn’t it a little harsh…?’

Ian carefully checked the buff effects on the giant and held the Judgment of the Spirit King tightly in his hands .

‘Just one single mistake, and it is game over . ’

If the hammer could be blocked, the hammer looked like something seen on screen .

Ththa!

Ian was rushing towards the giant .

* * *

Gulp!

Lilson swallowed his dry spit .

‘This… This is the real fighting style of Ian…!’

As mentioned before, Lilson was a huge fan of Ian .

Of course, he was still recording the video of the combat, the player and the familiars moving around .

However, even then, he thought Ian’s fighting ability was fabricated a little bit .

‘I thought the video was just edited in an astonishing manner . ’

The image editing that was done dedicated to the image of Ian and most users thought Ian’s combat style was outstanding because of the editing technique .

The images online on the internet were stunning because of the bloody scenes in it .

However, Lilson, who was witnessing the battle in front of him, had to change his opinion .

‘This… those videos are lacking . ’

Ian looking great was never the product of image editing .

Now, Ian’s combat was so awesome all the picture would turn out well regardless of the angle .

“Huh! I shouldn’t die now . Even if Ian doesn’t manage to catch the monster, the video alone will be enough for me to win the tournament . ”

Lilson though after a painless death, he would go back to the castle and show Ian the video he had taken .

‘If the guild is included in this for promotional purpose, the income will be good, but the publicity effect it creates would be enormous . ’

Lilson was getting delusional in his head, but he was constantly moving to take the footage in a much greater manner .

As time went by, Lilson’s expressions were starting to appear stronger .

“Uh-huh!”

Lilson’s gaze was fixed on the gauge of the monsters’ .

Lilson started to get excited as he saw what was flickering on the life gauge of the monster .

“Are you… trying to catch it?”

However, at that time…

Kuaahhhh!

The giant roared and attacked out of the blue .

Whoo-Ohh-Woo!

The huge hammer he had was now in the direction of Ian .

According to Lilson’s point of view, it wasn’t something one could avoid, and he closed his eyes shut .
