The Taming Master

On the first day, a total of seven users entered the Warrior’s Village .

Three of them were from the Human system .

It was obvious, but the other four were from the Devildom system .

One of them was the top-ranking Chinese User ‘Ryu Chen’ .

‘Why is this being pushed all of a sudden?’

While watching the Devil Dimensional Cavalry fall down one after the other, Ryu Chen’s sweat started to turn cold .

The Battle of the Dimension, which had been going smoothly till then, began to take a turn .

The other rankers out there with him were shocked .

“What is this all of a sudden? Are the numbers increasing?”

“The difficulty increased all of a sudden!”

The four rankers were surprised, but they weren’t stupid .

They understood very well the principle of the mirror battlefield .

After recognizing the situation he had to face, Ryu Chen quickly began to use magic .

“Illusions of Devil, rise up!”

Woong-!

As Ryu Chen recited the spell, shadows—in the form of a beast—began to appear everywhere .

The red shadows began to swipe across the battlefield of the Dimensional Cavalry .

Ahh!

Kyaaa-!

At first glance, Ryu Chen seemed to have a skill or power similar to that of a summoner .

However, Ryu Chen wasn’t a summoner .

He was a Warlock .

Of course, Warlock wasn’t his only class .

If that was not the case, he wouldn’t be able to produce a spectacular view on the battlefield .

Ryu Chen, one of the most popular Mainland China users, was well known for his special hidden class .

His hidden class was the Warlock Illusionist .

He also had a hidden dual-class—’Trickster’ .

“Hmph!”

“Tat-!”

Ryu Chen inhaled briefly and jumped .

The moment he landed on the ground, a dark red smoke started to form around him, and it then moved to the air .

The very next moment…

Phat-!

As he stretched out his hands to the front, dark green rays spread out in all directions .

The beams began to distort to a wide area .

Woong-!

His dual-class, the trickster, was a class he gained while he was in the Human system .

Originally, it was the main class instead of a dual class, but as his race got converted to Asmodian, it naturally changed into a dual-class .

The Trickster class was the very reason why he was able to maintain his top-ranking spot in Kailan .

The class information looked like this:

-Class information

Class classification:

Incantationist

Magician (Dual Class)

Hidden class:

Illusionist

Trickster (Dual Class)

Fusion Class: None (disabled)

Ryu Chen was using magic and illusion magic to keep the Devil Dimensional Cavalry in place .

By using the tactical formations, he was able to keep the Dimensional Cavalry in place . Therefore, they were able to bring down the Dimensional Cavalry’s numbers one after the other .

It wasn’t just Ryu Chen there .

Thud-!

Along with a huge eerie sound and a red beam, the Dimensional Cavalry that was being held by Ryu Chen was being cut down .

After seeing that light, Ryu Chen looked shocked after seeing the source of the attack .

‘Was that the ranker Limlong of the Korean server? He sure is amazing . ’

The unique ability of ‘Trickster’ was a magic that could trap the enemies and confuse them .

That was why Ryu Chen worked well with assassin class users .

Limlong didn’t seem to be lacking in skill compared to other top-ranked assassins that he had seen .

That was why Ryu Chen was so eager to see the full extent of Limlong’s abilities .

However, Ryu Chen’s thoughts didn’t last long .

Wooong-!

In the meantime, another Dimensional Cavalry came out of the mirror .

‘For now, I need to concentrate on the battle . ’

While biting down his lip, Ryu Chen began to reach for the battlefield again .

* * *

-Remaining Army: 77… 77… 76…

-Remaining Devil Army: 42… 39… 35…

Remaining Dimensional Cavalry: Celestial faction/ Devil faction- 56/ 144

Na Ji-chan, who was sitting in the monitoring room and watching the ‘Dimensional Mirror’ battle, laughed .

‘Hehe, it’s inevitable . No matter what you guys do, it would last for another 5 minutes or so . ’

Unlike the Celestial Armies who never would have thought of falling to the 70s, the number of the Devil Soldiers started to decline fast .

That meant the battle was won by the Celestial Platoon .

‘I thought the humans would leave this time…’

Na Ji-chan, who was staring at the screen, just shook his head .

The result of the battle looked more precise than ever, but Na Ji-chan had never imagined that the battle would have such developments .

‘The combination of Ryu Chen and Limlong was surely a sight to see in the Dimensional Mirror . But it was too bad that the Devil Faction had no healers . ’

Na Ji-chan, who confirmed the rankers on both sides of the camps which entered the battlefield, was sure that the devil side would win .

It was because the Devil Camp had more rankers than the Human Camp . Also, Ryu Chen and Limlong were there .

It was obvious that the combination of those two was surely going to be the best in the Dimensional Mirror . It was almost like they had no reason to lose .

For the first ten minutes, the predictions of Na Ji-chan were on the mark .

At least in the very beginning, the Devil’s camp had a clear advantage .

However, when Ian and Mark Oliver turned defensive, the situation changed completely .

Apart from reducing the number of the Dimensional Cavalry, the number of the army didn’t decrease . The gap became unruly as the devils began to decrease .

‘Who’s head came up with that strategy? Ian? Mark Oliver?’

Na Ji-chan, who was writing down a report with an excited look, sighed while looking at the coffee on his table and went back to the screen .

Na Ji-chan’s task was to monitor, and it was something that only he could do .

Na Ji-chan alternated between drinking coffee and eating potato chips while monitoring the Dimensional Mirror Battle . After a while, he read the system messages, which reminded him that the battle had ended .

Tring-!

[All the troops of the ‘Devil Army’ had been killed . ]

[Remaining Army: 72]

[Remaining Devil Army: 0]

[Remaining Dimensional Cavalry: Celestial faction/ Devil faction: 12/188]

[The Battle of the ‘Dimensional Mirror’ is over . ]

[The ‘Celestial Army’ has won!]

Na Ji-chan, who checked the screen, shook his head and mumbled, “There’s an overwhelming difference… but there’s definitely no one who can say how this battle will turn out at the beginning . ”

Na Ji-chan read the messages that appeared and started to hit the keyboard .

Tak- Tatak-!

It was time for him to return to the planning team after finishing his report .

However, the sound of Na Ji-chan hitting on the keys stopped .

“…!”

He saw something that flustered him .

His gaze was stuck to the corner of the screen .

[The conditions have been met . ]

[Platoon 7 has been promoted . ]

[The rankers of the Platoon 7 will rise one step . ]

A very unexpected message appeared on the screen, saying that Platoon 7 was promoted .

“7th Platoon…”

Na Ji-chan checked the data of the platoon with trembling hands .

As soon as he looked into the details, nothing but a sigh came out of his mouth .

-User Information

User Name: Ian

Class: Summoner (Taming Master) Etc .

Transcendence Level: 10

Warrior’s Rank: Recruit

… Syncopation…

* * *

[The ‘Celestial Army’ has won!]

[Platoon 7 has been promoted as the conditions have been met . ]

[Special class 1 is now a ‘Recruit’ . (Daily Rank specials are only possible once a week . )]

[All the shops in the Warrior’s Village can now be used . ]

[Build Merits in battle and earn Merit points . ]

[Because of the ‘Platoon Promotion’, Merit points have been doubled . ]

[You have earned 212 Merit points . ]

[Points remaining for a ‘Combat Soldier’: 212/300]

[Hero Score of 100 points have been achieved . ]

… Syncopation…

A white halo began to come out of the mirror, and the messages began to pop up, saying the battle was over .

Subsequently, a huge light had gathered for the left out cavalry on the battlefield .

Specifically, around Platoon 7 and Ian, a much brighter light was shinning .

It was probably the effect of the 1st class performance .

“Kue, finally, I’m not a Recruit anymore!”

“Euah, I’m a Fighter at last!”

Platoon 7’s NPCs were cheering around Ian .

Ian, who was just a trainee, had just become a ‘Recruit’, but the other military ranks in the army were all raised into ‘Combat Soldiers’ .

“Hmm, this 1st class effect sure looks good, but it would have been better if the public value was applied first . A specialty was applied so much at the beginning . ” Ian said after checking the system messages .

The points needed to be a Recruit were 100 .

Which was why, if the public value was applied first, then he would have become a ‘Combat Soldier’ already .

In addition, due to the 1st class effect, the ranks of his fellow combatants had risen .

However, the special stats had been applied first, and the public values were added later . That was why Ian didn’t become a ‘Combat Soldier’ .

‘Well, I just need to collect another 90 public points . ’

Feeling bad, Ian looked over at the information window of the classes .

There were a total of five ranks in the Warrior’s Village .

‘Trainee, Recruit, Combat Soldier, followed by Elite and Brave rank . ’

Ian’s eyes moved toward the rank called ‘Brave’ rank .

Being promoted to Brave rank was the ultimate goal in the village .

As soon as he became a Brave rank, he could become an Intermediate being .

‘I need to graduate from here as soon as possible… and I need to pick up Lugarix . ’

While thinking of Lugarix who had the transcendence level of 50, Ian smiled to himself .

Once he got Lugarix, he would be able to get a bus ride of 40 to 50 transcendence levels very comfortably .

Mark Oliver and Lichao came to Ian .

“That was great, Ian . We won because of you . ”

“You are a great sidekick . Lichao is very impressed with you . ”

“…”

When the two notable men opened their mouths, Ian’s face was rather elated .

‘Oliver sure is fine, but I need to do some research on this Lichao . ’

He wasn’t able to confirm anything because of the battle, but the ability of Lichao was similar to that of Shakran .

It made sense for him to be in the village .

However, Ian had a strong feeling that Lichao was holding back .

‘If I have the chance, I’ll introduce him to Hoonie . ’

In the mind of Ian, a picture of Hoonie and Lichao had formed .

“Huhu, you both have worked very hard too . Now let’s get back . ”

Ian greeted the two and stepped toward the blue portal that was created under the tower .

‘Let’s see… I need to see the shops for the recruits . I’m looking forward to it . ’

While smiling to himself, Ian checked his Hero Score, which was known to be the currency of the Warrior’s Village .

But the next moment…

“…!”

Ian looked surprised when he saw his Hero Score .

The number of Hero Score, which he had just seen, was ridiculously large .

[Current Hero Score: 1,525 . ]

‘Ho, I just have around 100 before I came here…’

When he first entered the Warrior’s Village, Ian’s Hero Score was around 150 .

He used dozens of points when he purchased equipments, and the Hero Score he got on the battlefield was only 100 .

‘Why did I have more than 1,000 now?’

Ian’s head started to roll .

After a while, Ian figured out what had caused this phenomenon .

‘Is it because of this…?’
