Kkiiki- Kigik-!

Kiirgk-!

Three monkeys, made of machines came in the direction of Ian with bizarre sound.

-Kariophitecus: Lv. 11 (transcendence)

Subsequently, Ian who had confirmed the transcendence level of them started to get tense.

This isnt a difficult level right away.

This was the second time Ian had experienced a two-digit transcendence in the field.

When he got closer to Cocytos, the second river of Erebus, Ian had encountered the first two-digit transcendental monster in the field.

And surely, during that time, he couldnt have fought.

For starters, it is better to cut off one after the other.

Ian who quickly looked at the surrounding terrain threw the Judgment of the Spirit King at the forefront.

Swaach-!

And the machines which were shocked jumped into the air.

Kkik-!

The Judgment of the Spirit King, which just missed the target was stuck to the ground as the monkeys had moved.

And at a glance, it would have looked like Ian had made a mistake, but that was never the case.

Ian was the one who wanted the monkey to jump.

Monsters that couldnt fly, had trouble changing directions in the air.

Because the monster on the ground had jumped into the air, and the best was to take down the target would be with arrows.

Hwwwk-!

And soon came the red flames from the longbow that Ian was holding onto.

To be precise, it was because the arrow was made of flame.

Swak-!

The arrow with flames flew through the air and was aimed exactly at the chest of the machine monkey that was floating in the air.

And the most interesting thing was, the arrow that hit the monkey wasnt one, but two.

[Activated the spirit magic Infernal Fire.]

[Inflicted deadly fire damage to the machine monster Kariophitecus!]

[The vitality of Kariophitecus has been reduced by 454.]

[The fire spirit Agbi has triggered the unique ability of Devils Fire.]

[Inflicted tremendous fire damage to the machine monster Kariophitecus!]

[The vitality of Kariophitecus has been reduced by 390.]

Agbis unique ability, Devils fire, has the ability to duplicate the spirit spells of the fire attribute used by his spirit.

In other words, as soon as Ian had summoned the infernal flame and shot it at the monkey. The fire arrow was shot from his hand.

As the two-footed arrows were struck, two markers had overlapped.

[Monster Kariophitecus has been marked with Hellfire. 10 seconds from now, you will gain additional damage of 46 per second (1 stack).]

[Monster Kariophitecus has been marked with Hellfire. For 10 seconds from now, you will gain additional damage of 38 per second (2 stacks).]

And Ians attacks didnt end there.

Swoah-!

For a former archer ranker like Ian, it was like breathing to hit arrows with a passive skill.

Pauk-!

Before the machine monkey leaped into the air, the arrow of the bow cut through the air in succession, making the torso get hit.

And since Ian wasnt just shooting the arrows for fun, 10 stacks had quickly piled up.

[ Max Hellfire mark stacks has been overwritten.]

[The marker will cause a powerful explosion.]

[Deadly fire damage has been done to the machine monster Kariophitcues!]

[The vitality of Kariophitceus has been reduced by 2,110.]

The coefficient of the flame was only 40 percent.

Because of the arrows released one by one, the damage was much weaker than what Ian had thought.

But as the marks had been piled up, the story changed completely.

Compared to the Blood Split, which was the unique ability that increased the speed of attack rate, its damage wasnt lacking by much.

Kikkik-!

The angry machine monkey rushed towards Ian with much more violence.

However, one of the three had died already.

Ping-!

And the combination of Ian and Agbi followed again. The monkey fell down in no time.

Tring-!

[You have successfully defeated the machine monster Kariophitecus!]

[Obtained transcendence experience of 44.]

[Obtained 6 aster.]

As soon as one of their companion had died, the other two monkeys began to move with much caution.

After confirming that Ian was the one who had fired the projectile, they clearly approached the trees with constant cover.

It was a high-level AI that wasnt seen normally in the field monsters of the earth system.

However, Ian didnt panic because of it.

Since he had the Infernal fire and Agbi alongside him.

Electricity multiplication!

When the monkey peeked its head out of the tree branch, a mass of electricity had been generated from the hand of Ians immediately.

And the lightning sphere went right to the head.

Kkkir-jrrrk-!

[Target hit with electricity multiplication skill. Inflicts damage of 679 lightning attribute on Kariophitecus!]

The machine monkey had suffered less damage than that of the fire arrow, but nothing can be considered less in the situation.

But the problem here wasnt the 679 damage.

The current multiplication was literally a unique ability for splitting, and the moment it was hit, the attack split into four directions.

Jjrrrjik-!

[The multiplied current inflicted 196 additional damage on the machine monster Kariophitecus!]

[The multiplied current inflicted 234 additional damage to the machine monster Kariophitecus!]

Even when they were hiding in the dense branches of the forest.

And the sphere of current which had multiplied had broken off and hit some other one in the bush.

As a result, even the other monkey couldnt help but be shocked.

[The Kariophitecus is in a state of paralysis.]

[The movements of the Kariphitecus has been slowed down by 30 percent, and will suffer additional damage from the attack attribute.]

[Current multiplication cooldown has been reset.]

Tatat-!

Ian, who was able to create a situation that he wanted, moved his feet and went to the side.

Then in his hands came the longbow of flames.

Ping- Ping-!

And of the two machine monkeys, had no other way but to get hit by the arrows from Ian.

The two machine monkeys began to melt in the heat of the fire and melted onto the floor without any power.

Tring-!

[You have successfully defeated the monster Kariophitecus!]

[Transcendence experience of 42 has been gained.]

[Obtained 8 aster.]

[Acquired transcendence experience of 46.]

[Obtained 6 aster.]

Ian laughed a little after confirming the reward.

It certainly was a double reward, but the amount of the transcendence experience he had received was surely huge.

It is almost like, 50 for a head? If I find the dungeon and I get a duplicate buff, Ill get points close to 100.

And it wasnt much, but the monsters were dropping aster.

Perhaps after completing the quest if he went back to the village, using his collect aster, he could buy something in the shop.

Well done, Agbi, Chirpy!

Feeling good at what they had done, Ian raised a thumb in the direction of Agbi and Chirpy.

Although the guys who were appearing at the beginning of the map were the weakest ones, since they were able to fight without the help of the other familiars, it seemed like an encouragement.

Listening to the praise from Ian, Agbi waved both his hands and said,

[I usually do well, master.]

And subsequently, Chirpy who had been sitting on the shoulder of Ian raised his beak and chirped.

Chirp- jack-!

The spirits of Ian seemed to be a little ignorant, however, it was just a minor problem.

Yah, are you going to be this arrogant right from the start?

[The spirits always speak the truth, master.]

Chrip- Chrip-!

After all, Ian, who had a good start decided to move into the forest to his destination.

Some additional mechanical monkeys appeared along the way, but they didnt pose much a threat.

With the paralysis effect of the electricity multiplication and the hellfire, the monsters havent been able to even touch Ians hair.

Just seeing the spirits and the spirit skill being useful, Ian was starting to feel joy.

Nice. Until the buff ends, then this is going to be endless.

Ian ran towards the north excitedly.

And, was it around 10 minutes that had passed?

Found it!

The mine had come in front of the eyes of Ian.

* * *

While watching the video of Ian, Na Ji-chan went blank and forgot to chew the potato chips that were in his mouth.

Crazy

The scene of Ian sweeping of the monkey was way too unrealistic.

Of course, machine monkey wasnt such a tricky monster to deal with, but with the level of 7, it was quite hard to deal with them.

If it was any other ranker, it would have taken at least 3 to 5 minutes to hunt one of them down.

And it wasnt just Na Ji-chan who was surprised.

Where did he even find the skill of such sort?

Ian was madly shooting the arrow of flame, Infernal fire skill.

Why did that even go into this guys hand

The infernal fire wasnt just a tricky skill.

Although it had the ability to evolve, such a skill was easy to find in the Middle-Earth.

Even with the balance test-data, it was one of the ordinary common skills.

Rather than a low coefficient and difficult to use, the general user would surely avoid such skills.

It was a skill that had a low coefficient, it was hard to find the meaning of why it was even in the game.

However, depending on the users ability to increase the power was changed.

Na Ji-chan still remembered what Kim Yue Hwan had said when planning such a skill.

-How great will it be to see the archer skills of a summoner and not an archer? On top of that, there are no coefficients, who would even use such a skill? This is a fix!

Of course, the words of Kim did make sense.

Na Ji-chan thought, that the conditional trigger effect of the marked overlap was the only advantage the skill had.

But if the player was a user, the story was different in all directions.

He was the strongest combat player in the human dimension and was considered as a monster with his previous former archer rank.

Ian wasnt always a user of the Summoner category.

Ha

Na Ji-chan sighed looking at his legs and shook his head.

Ian didnt seem to have noticed it, but there as another feature in the Infernal Fire that wasnt known yet.

If Ian managed to figure it out, then a whole new disaster would come rushing for the planning team.

And Ian, whom Na Ji-chan knew very well, wasnt a person who would fail to find out.

Please do it right, Ian hyung.

Na Ji-chan who looked at the screen had dark eyes.

Ping-!

Na Ji-chan turned off the monitor screen by hitting on the remote and began to move the couch.

Going home from work might be a little sooner, but right now it seemed like a good choice for his mental health.

If he was going to work overtime and night shifts, he was going to need to save his strength.

Ha, I was under the impression that the Real Middle-Earth was far away

The back of Na Ji-chan which seemed to exit the monitoring room seemed somewhat depressed.
