Chapter 562: The Reckless Challenger 2
Ian had a good look at the scene.
As soon as he entered the duel room, he was able to recognize the identity of the three, which was Ralph and his team.
‘What is this? I thought someone else was here… It was these idiots?’
One warrior, an archer and finally a summoner.
All the information had been covered up, and it wasn’t an easy task for Ian to identify the warrior as Ralph since the users in the room were turned into pitch-black shadows.
However, unlike the two, the summoner Inisco, gave away too many clues that enabled Ian to identify him.
Specifically, the Griffin King, his main summon.
Among all the summons that he had, it was the only unique one.
That summon was like Karceus and Elcarix. That was the Griffin King.
Given all those details, Ian was convinced that the identity of the three shadows was Ralph’s party.
‘Huhu, their friends, huh? This sure is worth trying.’
If Ian and the party of Ralph went against each other after their information was displayed, then victory wasn’t guaranteed for Ian.
After all, they were the strongest rankers in the US server, and no trick would be able to overcome them together.
However, the situation was different now.
Ian knew about the trio, but they didn’t know about him.
They didn’t know anything about Ian at all.
‘They knew me as a knight class last time… Unless Muel decided to stab me in the back, there is no way that they would know.’
Ian, on the other hand, knew everything about their powers.
‘I just need to catch Ralph first. Chesk too does a great amount of deal, but once Ralph is taken cared of, he won’t be able to do anything…’
Ian stared at Ralph and Chesk and then turned towards the direction of Inisco.
From the mouth of Ian came a bloody laugh.
‘Inisco? That jerk has the confidence to come all this way, huh?’
The level of Ralph and Chesk in the human system would be the same as Ian.
However, what Ian felt from Inisco was that he was way below Ian.
In fact, it was almost impossible for him to touch Ian even though they were both Summoners.
In addition, there was no one who was able to understand the mechanism of the Summoner’s combat capabilities as much as Ian.
Because of that, for Ian, Inisco was the easiest one to deal with.
However, there was something that was bugging Ian.
Unlike Ian, who recalled all of his summons to hide his identity, Inisco appeared along with all of his familiars, why?
Was Inisco disregarding the challenger?
Or was Inisco stupid?
Surely, it could be both.
The ‘Spirit Dojo’ was a content that was made to favor the challenger.
Unlike the party of Ralph, which had been forcefully summoned from the middle of the battle with all their summons and equipment out, Ian came in from the waiting room.
In short, Ian had the time to prepare for the battle and the party of Ralph didn’t.
‘Huhu. Since my class is Summoner… you won’t be able to predict that, right?’
In the short time he had, Ian tried to analyze as much as he could.
And then, his most awaited system messages appeared.
Tring-!
[You have entered the ‘Duel Room’.]
[The Duel will begin after a while.]
[All kinds of ‘return’ skills and items are prohibited. No one can exit the battlefield until the battle is over. (No log out)]
[The battle will begin after 5 seconds.]
[The battle will begin after 4…]
Ian, who read the system messages, shook both his hands.
Before the battle began, he was simulating in his head on how he was supposed to tackle and attack.
‘Start, archer, their guys.’
After a while, the battle began.
“Magbi, Summon!”
In the hands of Ian came the longbow with flames all over it.
* * *
‘This… what is this…?’
Ralph rushed to the one whom he thought was an NPC and was confused with the unexpected attack.
Of course, he was shocked. The opponent whom he assumed to be a wizard was suddenly holding a bow.
There was a spell in the Wizard class, where the user could summon a bow and shoot arrows.
But the opponent was a madman; there was no way a wizard could summon a bow without a second of casting time.
‘What? He was an archer? Then, what is that strange fire thing floating next to him?’
Feeling confused, Ralph tried to avoid the incoming arrows.
If he was a bit calmer, he could have realized that the thing was a spirit, but Ralph wasn’t in his right mind.
The arrows of Ian, which had been coming his way, weren’t giving him time either.
Ping- Piping-!
Ian was throwing his arrows to the spot where Ralph landed after evading. It was as if Ian could predict Ralph’s movements.
It was like the arrows knew where should they fall.
“Euh…!”
Puck-!
[You have received devastating damage from the ‘challenger ???’.]
[Vitality has been reduced by 789!]
[You have received devastating damage from the ‘challenger ???’.]
[Vitality has been reduced by 425!]
[Vitality has been reduced by 688!]
The vitality of Ralph kept getting cut down one after the other and the messages kept on showing up.
‘Crazy, why does an NPC have such a hit rate?’
Ralph held his lips tight and read all the messages that came up.
He tried to relax.

Apart from the immense bow skills of Ralph’s enemy, its damage was stronger than he thought.
‘Kuem, if this is how much the deal is, then I should give up that narrowing distance thing…!’
However, it didn’t take long for him to realize that he made a mistake.
After a moment, he gave his back to the arrow, a huge shock came from that.
Kwang-!
[The ‘Hellfire’ mark exploded.]
[Vitality was reduced by 4,179.]
[The ‘Hellfire’ mark exploded.]
[Vitality was reduced by 3,897.]
“…?”
Ralph’s transcendence vitality was around 150,000.
However, that was if his vitality was full. He had less than half of his vitality when he got summoned to the duel room.
As soon as the battle began, in less than 30 seconds, he took over 10,000 worth of damage.
If he allowed the opponent to attack at the same pace, he would be out of the game in just three minutes.
‘Crazy! What is this!? What’s with the deal all of a sudden!?’
Ralph’s gaze went in the direction of Chesk and Inisco.
His orders were wrong from the very beginning, but he had to figure out what they were even doing.
* * *
The monitoring room of LB for Kailan was located deep in the underground of the headquarters building.
It was a controlled area where not everyone could enter.
And it was intended to be that way.
It was because the PCs in the monitoring room of Kailan contained all of its videos.
If the staff could just freely walk in there, then the personal information of the users could be leaked.
As a result, only the members of the monitoring room and some of the planning teams were able to enter and exit the monitoring room.
But even with that, there were a few exceptions.
In the face of the major update that was coming in the upcoming days, a few members of the marketing team were given access to the monitoring room.
The reason was obvious.
The marketing team had to pick a source for the promotional video.
Of course, the planning team or the monitoring team could have done that, but that would look bad for their team.
Not only did they have to find the right video source for their marketing team, but the planning and the monitoring team were also busy too.
Anyway, for that reason, the two designers of the marketing team were seated in the corner of the monitoring room.
One of them was Park Ki-hoon, who was placed in the monitoring team before being in the marketing team, and the other one was his new associate, Kim So-young.
“Let’s see… now, we have gotten a little bit of video, right, So-young?”
“Yes, sir. It will be necessary to ask for the understanding of the users, but it doesn’t seem like it will be that difficult.”
“Nice. Let’s find the main dish.”
“Yep! Okay!’
“Keep your eyes open and look, So-young. I need at least 2 to 3 main dishes today.”
At the words of Park Ki-hoon, Kim’s eyes went wide.
Although Kim was a new employee, she knew how hard it was to monitor.
“Huh? There is a lot to monitor. Would that even be possible? I thought that getting one would be great enough…”
At the words from So-young, Park Ki-hoon laughed.
“Huhu, So-young.”
“Yes, sir.”
“How many times do you think I have done this work since joining here?”
“This work…?”
At her question, Ki-hoon spoke again, “Content update, promotional video sources.”
“Ah, that… maybe around ten times?”
Ki-hoon shook his head.
“What ten times are you talking about? I did that over twenty times.”
“But… But why would you…?”
Ki-hoon smiled and looked at So-young who was puzzled.
“What do you mean why? I will show you the know-how from now on.”
“…!”
“In one hour, shall we pick up a video?”
At the confident words from Ki-hoon, So-young’s eyes went wide.
What he said was true. If that was the case, then she shouldn’t miss whatever it was she was about to learn.
It was about finding a source that could be used as a main promotional video by scrutinizing the video of Kailan’s many users.
If she could learn some tips and shorten their work, then she was willing to not even go home for the day.
Tak tak-!
Ki-hoon opened the search engine in the PC of the monitoring room and quickly hit the keys.
The users’ playtime appeared after a while.
So-young who checked the video asked,
“Ian? This guy is ranked 1st among the Summoner class, right?”
“Right. After all, So-young who know nothing about the game, know Ian God’s ID.”
“Well, it has been a while since I have joined, but he has been the name of the user which I had heard the most in the office.”
“Huhu, obviously, that would happen.”
Kim Ki-hoon nodded his head and opened a video by clicking the mouse.
At the top of the video, a brief information appeared on the screen.
User: Ian
User IP: KR/ 453.217.11.375
User Condition: Online
Play Time: One Hour ago~ currently
Viewpoint: Third person
Subsequently, in the large screen of the monitoring room, the shadow of a man appeared.
And around him were three fallen users.
