Chapter 503: The Road leading to the Underworld 1

The tip of the black spear was shining with a bright white light.

And intense purples flames started to burn around it.

Seven intertwining shadows with a curved blade in their hands were heading in the direction of Ian with extraordinary force.

Kwaah-!

Even the purple flames that were around it were burning violently as if it wanted to burn the entire space.

One of the Lotus Guild members, who had seen the scene unfold, instinctively closed his eyes.

“Ah…”

He imagined the image of Ian burning and covered with scars; he couldn’t help but close his eyes.

On the other hand was Shakran, and the members of the Titan Guild, looking excited at what they were about to witness next.

‘Barrier? Or Phoenix’s unique ability? What are you going to stop it with, Ian?’

Ian had a lot of skills that he could use in the situation, and the brain of Shakran began to work very fast.

‘I guess the unique ability of Phoenix won’t work.’

Phoenix’s unique ability, the Guardian of Sun God, had the ability to erase all the incoming projectiles on the battlefield.

However, it was only limited to attacks with magic attributes.

It couldn’t erase real objects such as arrows or a javelin.

Therefore, if seven figures with a curved blade that were considered as ‘real’ were incoming, the Guardian of the Sun God was worthless.

Of course, the purple fire that was spreading around could be erased.

‘Even if you use the barrier to stop one attack, you are in desperate need of a solution. It is hard to avoid more than half of them. You surely can’t survive this one.’

Everyone’s attention was focused on Ian.

Woah-!

Ian and his summoned Alter Ego with the Summon Incarnation extended their hands forward.

“…!”

At the sudden weird action of Ian’s, everyone was focusing too much on the battlefield.

Even Hoonie, the person who knew Ian best, was looking with eyes wide opened.

‘You’re not thinking about stopping it with two shields, right?’

There were two huge Dragon Shield’s in front of the Alter Ego and Ian, but it was impossible for those shields to stop seven weapons.

No matter how great the blocking of those shields was, there was no way those shields could simultaneously block incoming projectiles from multiple directions.

Hoonie’s eyes became even wider because of what he saw.

The two shields moved to the air and began to shine in blue.

“Dragon’s Soul”

A total of six blue translucent shields floated, which made Ian smile.

Without realizing anything, Hoonie mumbled in a small voice,

“Right, that was there.”

Hwoong-!

Blue translucent shields began to appear exactly on the location where the curved blades would land.

Swooah-!

The blades flew toward the shield with ferocious speed.

However, no explosion was heard.

Instead, something got sucked in.

Whop!

The blades that touched the shields fell on the ground. The blades’ strength was sucked by the blue energy.

Thud- thud-!

The shield blocked only one out of the seven blades.

Kwang-!

But that one blade was blocked by the Dragon Shield in Ian’s hand.

Kukuku-!

The shield in front of Ian was pushed back a few meters because of the impact.

The attack was so strong that Ian was pushed to the floor.

But that wasn’t all.

There was no way Ian’s vitality was just fine.

Numerous system messages began to pop up in front of Ian, and the situation was explained clearly.

[You have the unique ability of the ‘Dragon Shield’, ‘Dragon’s Soul’]

In the case where there was no line broadcast, the first person to see the personal video of Ian’s play was So Jin.

Because she was the exclusive video editor and designer of Ian, all videos would get sent to her immediately.

For So Jin, what she was doing was fun since she was an enthusiast of Kailan.

In Kalian, So Jin was the only person who could get the raw personal video of the hottest user in the Korean Server.

So Jin was sitting in the studio watching the video of Ian.

She wasn’t just watching.

It was her job to watch videos and make it good.

So Jin had a video of Ian on her monitor. She stopped it momentarily and mumbled,

You are reading story Taming Master at novel35.com

“OMG… a second! This part needs to be played in slow motion, unconditionally!”

The biggest difference between the personal video and the captured video was the exposure of how skills were used.

For example, there was a skill that triggered a simple non-target skill like the flame ball.

However, personal videos were different.

A personal video screen exposed the interfaces for the convenience of the user, along with the prediction path displayed before the flame ball was fired.

The same thing happened with the personal video of Ian.

The ego weapon that Ian possessed was the Dragon Shield.

The unique ability ‘Dragon Soul’ was also displayed on the screen of Ian.

So Jin rewound the video and played it in slow motion. It displayed the detailed information on the unique ability of the ‘Dragon Soul’ on the monitor.

*Dragon Soul

Communicates with the soul of the Dragon Shield and instantly summon a shield in the desired location.

The summoned fragments absorb the projectiles for 3 seconds and remain activated for 15 seconds.

[You can summon up to three places at once.]

[Can be used even when not equipped with the item. (But needs to be in the inventory)]

[While the Dragon Soul is being used, familiars will be healed by 1% of their vitality per second.]

Cooldown time: 10 minutes

Now all she had to do was to make the screen with Ian’s battle be as admirable as possible.

It was necessary to help the viewers to understand the skills first.

“Well, let’s highlight the few important parts of the info window…”

On the left side of the video, the information of the Dragon Soul skill was set, and the video was being played much more slowly this time.

It was to show the scene of Ian triggering the skills much accurately.

Wheeing- wheeing-!

As the video slowed down, the sound came out slowly too.

So Jin was looking at the video with her tongue out on one side.

When the screen slowed down, she saw a lot of missed parts in the video.

“Oh, a skill set up basely for himself?”

On the screen, the skill that seemed to be triggered at once was actually having a complex activation process.

“First, he activated the skill with his main body. He took three coordinates, then activated the skills on the Alter Ego and then placed them on the reaming coordinates. Oh my…”

As mention above in the skill information, only three dragon souls could be created at the same time.

Ian was able to summon six blue shields as he did with his own body.

The amount of time where all of these plays took place was…

[0.72 sec]

Exactly 0.72 seconds.

So Jin confirmed the number of the gauge of the video.

“You did all that in such a short time… besides the accurate measurement and everything!”

So Jin looked at the video again and again, like she had nothing else to do.

So Jin played the same section a few more times and was able to come up with the editing process after a while.

This video was going to be uploaded in You-cast after today’s editing.

‘I think the title, Ian vs Underworld King, will be enough…’

So Jin was willing to devote all her heart to the source of the video.

The running time after the completion was approximately 10 minutes.

However, the video to be used would be made much shorter.

She wanted to edit it as intensely as possible with 2-minute highlights of the battle footage.

‘Well, if I grab this point… I will be able to make a video that can easily gain millions of views.’

The most important point in the video of Ian according to So Jin was the control and reflex of Ian for summoning six shields at once in the correct place.

Due to the request of Ian, the contents of the quest and the contents that weren’t in progress couldn’t be included in the video.

‘I think I can emphasize this, and I’ll edit this part a bit more.’

Once she was stuck with a video, she wouldn’t turn it off unless she was dying of exhaustion.

As a result, the intense and cool video of the ‘trailer’ for the blockbuster video was getting completed.

Click- Click-

In the studio, the sound of a mouse clicking was the only thing that could be heard.

In the meantime, the sun had already set, but the seated posture of So Jin in front of the computer screen was still the same.

‘How much time had passed?’

“Ah!”

A sigh came out of the mouth of So Jin, who was immersed in the video editing process.

She finally succeeded in making a satisfactory quality video.

“Huhu, if this is the standard, I guess Ian will be satisfied?”

So Jin opened her mail and sent the edited video to Ian.

After all, before uploading the video in You-cast, the permission of the copyright holder had to be removed.

“Well then, should I watch the rest of the video until I get a reply?”

So Jin stretched her whole body and began to watch the rest of the video.

On the monitor was the video of Ian Vs Underworld King that she just edited.

“There is plenty of stuff that can be used. I don’t feel like leaving out any content in the videos of Ian.”

The effect wasn’t as intense as the six summonings of the shield to stop the weapons; however, every move was exciting enough to be included.

So Jin looked at the video as if she was getting sucked into the monitor.

“Oh oh, Ly! Surely the attack of Fenrir can be any less!”

So Jin’s eyes were moving insanely to catch up with the video of Ian.

The video went on for 15 minutes.

“What, what…?”

The eyes of So Jin started to tremble.

Her gaze was fixed on the monitor, but the screen that was in front of her turned black.

After a while, So Jin uttered words that no one would ever expect.

“Ian… died…?”
