Summon Ban, one of the unique skills of the Summoner Knight .

Summon Ban as it literally states, provides a debuff skill that prohibits summoning .

Summon was the main skill that could be used by the Summoner and the Warlock, this was a perfect skill that could counter that .

It had a range of almost 30 meters . It had a wide area of debuff .

Because of such a skill, the Summoner Knight was a direct counter to the Lich King .

The Summoner Knight could seal the most powerful skills of the Lich King—the summon skills .

Of course, Ian couldn’t even see the rich summoning power of the Lich King all thanks to his strong helper .

Anyway, when one looked at it, it seemed like a very broken skill .

However, if one would think about it, one could understand why Ian rated this skill as one of the lower class skills when compared to Summon Incarnation and Harmonize .

‘The caster is a summoner—a Summoner Knight…’

The moment Summon Ban was activated, even the own summons of the owner would get summoned back, which meant that it was a skill that couldn’t be used by the summoner’s side .

Especially in the case of the Summoner Knight who received power proportionate to the number of summoned summons . It was a debuff skill that was fatal to the owner .

So, when was the Summon Ban going to be useful?

The answer? ‘Once the battle began’ .

Before the caster could summon his familiars and summons, he could activate the Summon Ban and then summon them .

‘Why make an alternate cooldown? It is a vague skill to use once the battle starts, anyway . ’

Ian was grunting in the inside and triggered the Summon Ban .

At the very same time, the summons of the Underworld King that were protecting them, all vanished .

“…!”

When the summoned AI vanished, Mukan was shocked .

Suddenly, Ian started to glow red .

“Blood Split!”

In Ian’s hand was a Bloody Dagger .

Bloody Revenge’s unique ability was triggered again .

Swahh-!

But this time, however, as shown earlier, the cooldown was not able to activate the skill succession .

This was because there were no ‘jabs’ around that could fit at the same timing .

In addition, Ian wasn’t even using the Blood Split to damage Mukan .

The only reason Ian triggered Blood Split was to reduce the gap between him and Mukan .

Slash-!

Along with the sharp sound of cutting through the air, Ian, who was glowing red, moved in front of Mukan .

At the same time, Ian began to summon his summons one after the other .

“Ly, Pin, Halli, Karceus, summon!”

Kiyaaa!

He summoned everyone starting with Ly, till Elcarix and Bbakbbak .

System messages came up in front of Ian, which notified him of all the summons that were summoned in succession .

Tring!

[Passive Skill, with Harmonize, all the combat abilities will be 3% stronger . ]

[Passive Skill, with Harmonize, all the combat abilities will by 3% stronger . ]

(Leak)

Summoner Knight, the strongest passive buff skill .

Before the summons were fully summoned, Ian triggered one of the Summoner Knight’s unique abilities .

“Summon Incarnation!”

The Summoner Knight’s unique ability to summon an ‘Alter Ego’ with 50% of the original body’s combat abilities were triggered .

Since the skill level was still low, only one alter ego could be summoned, however, Ian was confident enough to create even one variable .

The summoned Alter Ego could use all of Ian’s skills .

‘I wish I could summon a replica of my familiars as well . ’

With those thoughts, Ian activated another powerful buff skill that he always loved to use .

Hwoong-!

“The will of Selamus Warrior!”

The glow around Ian, which was red because of Blood Split, turned gold .

The Alter Ego that appeared next to Ian had a golden glow surrounding it as well .

As soon as the Alter Ego was summoned, the skill got activated at the same time .

It was a beautiful sight . The buff effects began to overlap .

Tring!

[You activated a unique ability ‘The Will of Selamus Warrior’ . ]

[Increases skill rank on all weapons by ’15’ for the next 20 minutes . ]

[Increases combat abilities by 40% for 20 minutes . ]

[All active skills are sealed for 20 minutes . ]

Ian, who thought of all the skills in succession, grabbed the sword in hand with a smile .

Just as he had thought in his head, all of his skills got completely linked .

‘I should be careful and not confuse the play order of the skills . ’

So far, there was only one unchangeable proposition in Ian’s skill invocation sequence .

He must always activate all the active skills before using the ‘Will of Selamus Warrior’ .

Of course, the unique abilities attached to the weapons weren’t going to be affected, but it didn’t matter . And the buff skills and summon skills had to be used first .

However, another proposition had arisen .

The first skill he had to use was ‘Summon Ban’ before he summoned his summons .

Anyway, Ian, who had a strong fighting power through the stacks of buff, quickly ran toward Mukan .

It was a spectacular view .

All of Ian’s powerful summons and Ian with two golden spears in the air and Ian’s Alter Ego were approaching Mukan .

It was hard to believe how they moved in unison .

Some users who were watching the scene from the outside of the enchantment couldn’t help but admire it .

“Wow, when did Ian get new skills again?”

“Yeah . He didn’t have such skills when the episode was going on…”

Ian’s battle scene was so gorgeous that most of them were admiring it .

While most of them were verbally admiring the scene of Ian, there were some who felt uncomfortable .

“Monster kid, how did you suddenly get such new skills?”

Unlike the other users who couldn’t reach the standards of Ian, Shakran was feeling rather competitive .

If he found out that Ian got his new skills because of the support that the Titan and Shakran had given, Shakran would definitely have a stomachache .

‘Is the Lotus Guild trying to squeeze all the support from that guy?’

The fact that he alone was supporting made Shakran bite his lower lip .

In a moment, he saw a lot of skills of Ian overpower the Underworld King . Shakran wasn’t able to hold his competitive spirit any longer .

‘Yeah, kid, try harder . The stronger you get, the stronger I will become . ’

Ian wasn’t even concerned if Shakran considered him as strong or not .

“Uhhh!”

The moment Ian exhaled, two lightning spells fell from the air .

Kwang- Kwangg-!

The unique ability of the Judgment of the Spirit King was activated . The Lightning’s Judgment fell from both the spears .

However, in the places where the lightning fell, instead of seeing Mukan, Ian only saw dust .

“…!”

The first unique ability that Mukan did when he appeared ‘Blink’ was used again .

“Sh*t . ”

Ian cursed under his breath .

No matter how high the defense of the Underworld King, if he had just been attacked, the Underworld King would suffer a considerable amount of damage .

Therefore, it was regrettable for Ian .

“Still a kid . ”

Meanwhile, Mukan who just managed to stop the unstoppable attack of Ian had a change in mood .

The ‘interesting play’ he thought had turned into a serious battle for him .

Swahh-!

A strong dark energy emanated from Mukan constantly .

Ian could feel the power that the energy had, but he couldn’t afford to get distracted by it .

Just looking at Mukan, in the beginning, was enough for him to make sure that he was a worthy opponent .

“Just hit, you had to avoid it, shamefully?”

Seeing Ian saw all that, nerves started to stick out of Mukan’s forehead .

“Man, I’ll see how long you’ll be able to tease me!”

Mukan’s form once again disappeared in the air .

However, Ian had already figured out how to play the skill .

‘It sure is a tricky unique ability, but there is no skill that can’t be predicted . ’

The moment Mukan’s body was caught in flames, the smoke rose elsewhere at another place at the same time .

Since the position where Mukan would appear was that point, Ian was able to cope with it without much difficulty .

Kwang- Kwakwang-!

In the wake of Mukan’s curved blade, two shields took cover .

Just like the Judgment of the Spirit King, ‘The Dragon Shield’ with an Alter Ego weapon prevented the attack from Mukan .

At the same time, the body of Mukan started to get engulfed in black smoke .

Swoosh-!

‘Where is it this time?’

A stream of cold sweat fell down Ian’s back .

He knew the cooldown ability of the unique ability was short, but he didn’t know it could be played in succession .

Smoke rose at seven different places .

“Fake?”

Ian’s head started to work right away .

The smoke rose in seven places, which meant that where Mukan would appear was unknown .

‘No, Mukan can appear in all seven places too . ’

Seven places, all around Ian, which meant he couldn’t move .

Ian bit down his lip and snatched the Dragon Shield that was floating in the air .

At the same time, Mukan’s voice rang out .

“Die, bastard!”

From the seven spots that surrounded Ian, Mukan’s shadow moved up .

Seven uncommon shadows were now rushing toward Ian .

Swaah-!

Seven wolves flew in unison with ferocious speed .

There was no escaping this attack even if it was Ian .

Because of the penalty that was attached to the ‘Will of Selamus Warrior’ ability, even a space warping skill couldn’t be activated .
