Taming Master Chapter 492 - The Battle of Falcacio Stronghold 3

Chapter 492: The Battle of Falcacio Stronghold 3

In the Kailan play, there couldn’t have been many users other than Ian who would have tried the Boss Raids.
Once the raid went successfully, Ian wasn’t the one to go back again, and unlike Ian, there were users who went to the boss several times.
Among the items that get dropped from the boss, the concept of selling a certain item at a high price existed.
Of course, Ian too wouldn’t mind going to the boss again if he had a necessary item, but he had never felt that need, so far.
Ian’s items have always been ahead of others.
In addition, the bosses that Ian attacked once for the clear couldn’t be hunted again as they were the bosses for the clearing of the main story.
And the number of bosses that have tried for Ian, was much less than an average user.
Did that indicate that experience was lacking?
Not surprisingly, it wasn’t.
Ian never tried one boss multiple times, it was because he was the kind to succeed in attacking the one-of-a-kind boss.
Specifically, like the cases of the powerful boss who appeared only once in the Kailan story development; Ian’s boss raid experience was richer than anyone else since most of the bosses that appeared so far had been cleared by the hands of Ian.
And Ian’s instantaneous situational judgment and the excellent responsiveness were needed more than any skill in the present expedition.
Lich King Chalian—the epic boss, never tried by anyone.
In such a situation where the challenge was going to be the first time, Ian’s leadership ability was to shine even better.
And as everyone knew about it too well, the expedition users moved according to the orders believing in Ian.
“Ceilron, push the right line a little more, Herz, hold the left line!”
“Okay!”
“Got it!”
“Shakran, as of now, can you check the enemies near the damage dealers? And are there any offensive priest users?”
“Me, me!”
“Oh, Yuri, please shoot those dark mages from behind. You can just shoot the Holy Arrow and bury them with a debuff.”
“Understood.”
Holy Arrow was a ranged attack skill with light attributes, a normal single stack.
However, as the range of it was extremely long, it could be a powerful debuff for the ‘Undead’ like ‘Unrecoverable’, it was Ian’s favourite strategic skill in the fight against the Undead.
The most annoying feature of the Dark Legion was the powerful regeneration skills of the dark mages.
And if the holy Arrow’s debuff hits an enemy…
“Fiolan, Remir noona, please take down those dark mages so they can’t recover.”
“Okay!”
“Understood, Ian!”
They were going to focus their attacks on the remote damage dealer and remove them one after the other before the debuff would come to an end.
Ian moved all over the battlefield and ran the expedition steadily.
‘It is natural that the Lich King is the opponent, but it is going to be a massive fight before the last boss gets into battle.’
Everytime a flash of purple cam from the staff of Lich King, countless undead monsters rose without fail.
Ian who had one Hargasus looked over the battlefield who was ruined by Chalian.
Chalian was surrounded by powerful named Undead.
The named undead was varied.
With several headcounts. There were monsters that looked like the mythical hydra, and there were strong-looking Death Knights with huge swords and black armors.
‘By the way, what level does Chalian have?’
Ian’s eyes went over to the head of Chalian.
[Lich King Chalian: Lv???]
The level was supposed to be specified next to it, but for some reason the level of Chalian was private.
However, it could be inferred as the level of Chalian to be much higher than 500.
The named monsters who were summoned to protect him were all of level 500.
‘And, no matter how many we kill, they will still be summoned…’
Ian’s eyes were shining ever brightly.
‘We need to cut those named monster one after the other to make any progress.’
Around 5 minutes after the start of the boss, all the expedition users began to show stable play.
It was a perfect discovery of their roles to defend the line of defense against the attack pattern of Chalian’s.
It was the moment that Ian and Shakran had been waiting for.
“Kid, should we move slowly?”
“Sure!”
The number of expedition users who were currently in the castle of the Lich King were around 350~400.
Ian was going to take only around 20 or so best-played users and reduce the named monsters one by one.
And that didn’t mean that the other 300 players would be moving around and playing.
They were going to be the strong support behind the elite who were targeting the named.
Tatt-!
Shakran leaped into the air in the speed of light and spoke in a small voice,
“Where should we start?”
Ian who heard it quickly posted an order message on the chat window of the expeditions.
The first target is Arianes. Watch out for the Corpse Explosion skill.
The reason why a named monster was ‘named’ was due to the unique skill that no one else had apart from it in the Kailan.
In other words, the named monster in front of them was all the one that couldn’t be met anywhere other than the castle of the Lich King.
Then, how did Ian knew about the unique abilities and features of the named monster?
The answer was simple.
Ian had faced all seven named monsters in front of him 1-2 hours ago.
The named monster had blocked the way of Ian and the expedition until they had reached the Falcacio castle and they were now gathered in front of the Lich King.
Ian knew all about their attack patterns and their unique abilities, which was why he was able to place orders without hesitation.
‘They ran away before without fighting until the end. To be in the finale.’
Seven powerful minions who were now assisting the Lich King.
And this could be called as the ‘Developer’s care’.
If they were going to encounter powerful named monsters and face the threatening attack patterns one after the other without any information, the difficulty was bound to increase.
Srrrng-!
Ian picked up the Bloody Revenge which he had obtained from Limlong and began to approach the named monster—Arianes.
The monster Arianes was resembling Medusa, from Greek mythology.
The reason for Ian to chose this monster as the first target was simple.
Named monsters had the most vitality and weaknesses at the same time, and it was because of a variety of difficult CC groups with unique abilities.
In particular, the ability of the wide-area petrification which resembled the power of Medusa, a horrible skill that could lead to the destruction of the entire expedition in an instant.
Ian started to move towards the monster with eyes gleaming.
He was looking for an angle to activate the Bloody Revenge’s unique ability: Blood Split.
‘A little more left…!’
Blood Split was a powerful dash that cuts through all the enemies in a straight line.
Despite being a range skill that could hit multiple targets, it had a unique ability of the highest rank reaching a factor of 2,000.
In addition; Blood Split was equipped with several conditions for triggering options, it was the beauty for Blood Split.
*Killing more than one target with the Blood Split immediately resets the cooldown of the Blood Split.
*Accurately attacking the target from behind with Blood Split would increase the damage by 150% and increased the chances for a critical strike by 35%.
*Blood Split cooldown resets after every 3 critical hits in a row.
Ian often watched the videos of the other rankers when eating or relaxing.
Because of that, he watched numerous battle videos of Limlong.
And one of the most interesting scenes of the battle footage of Limlong’s was to use Blood Split to assassinate enemies in an instant.
‘Huhu, Blood Split was a unique ability that works with such a mechanism.’
Blood Split was a skill that seemed to require a high level of control at a glance.
However, Ian liked Blood Spit even more because of its unique ability.
When one succeeded in the high-level of control, the pleasure that stirred through the body was better than any stimulus.
Ian moved secretly as if he was an assassin and jumped into the air.
He had learned how to play the Blood Split numerous times in battle, he was already drawing the picture in his head.
Papat-!
Ian’s new weapon was shinning in red and began to slash through the air.
Swooah-!
A sharp and intense sound spread in the air.
Ian’s all-new red flash went right through the chest of Arianes, and Arianes who was fatally damaged howled with pain.
“Kiyaaah-!”
But the breakthrough wasn’t done with just once.
Slash!
Slash!
Swak-!
It was almost like painting the air with red blood.
Exactly seven times!
After the red energy passed through the heart of Arianes…
Swoooah-!
The named monster Arianes turned into black ash and disappeared.
“This, this is…!”
The rankers of the expedition, who had been working hard on fighting Arianes couldn’t speak and their expressions turned sloppy.
In particular, Hoonie who was casting black magic from the front didn’t know how to close his open mouth.
“…?”
Unknowingly, saliva was dripping from one side of his mouth. Hoonie tried to sue his head to understand what just happened.
But the only thing that came to his mind was…
“Monst, Monster!”
It was a conclusion that the one called Ian wasn’t just a normal person.
