Ian didnt know much about the user Makaron.

This was also his first time seeing this user on the battlefield.

However, Ian saw Makarons first battle before.

Makarons first battle was quite fierce.

Makaron had shown everything that needed to be shown in that battle, so Ian was able to quickly understand his class and how he fights.

Summon Warlock it is very suitable for the wealthy.

The Warlock class could be grown in various ways depending on a users capabilities.

However, there were two known stems in the Warlock classs infinite possibilities. Those were the Magic Warlocks and the Summon Warlocks.

Those two literally meant the warlocks who used magic and those who used Undead summons.

The Summoner Warlocks were the same as Ians class.

In all of Kailans classes, it was the least friendly one for Ians class.

With a little exaggeration, Ian was confident that his summons would be twice as powerful as the Warlock ones.

Woong-!

[The battle begins after 3 seconds.]

[The battle begins after 2]

As the message came announcing about the start of the battle, Ian and Makaron began to focus on each other.

It was the battlefield of the world rankers, and they were both decent players.

No matter how confident one was, it was necessary to be cautious of the opponent.

Makaron had no information on Ian.

If he had known Ian earlier, then he would know that he was a Summoner, but it was Makarons first time to see Ian.

[The battle starts!]

Ian summoned his fire bow and pounced forward as soon as the message appeared.

Hwark-!

Tat- tatt-!

Makaron, who was looking at the scene, started to think.

What? Is he an Archer? Or a Magician?

With the long flame bow in Ians hands, Makaron couldnt guess what Ians class was.

Makaron couldnt determine if the fire bow in Ians hands was some kind of magic or an item.

However, Makaron still kept his composure.

At least Ian didnt seem to be an Assassin class user.

Remote dealer Ill deal accordingly.

Makaron, who was ready to match Ians pace, began to cast his own summoning spell.

The most important thing in dealing with long-distance dealers, such as Wizards and Archers, was to stay out of their range.

Warlocks were long-range dealers too, but Makaron was a bit different.

He was an extreme class full of summoning magic and not the hybrid summon and magic that Hoonie used.

The black magic that he operated was of secondary skills, and his main power was to summon powerful undead.

Shaaa-!

Ashes began to bloom around Makaron with a hissing sound.

2 seconds had passed after the start of the battle, and Makaron had already summoned his biggest undead Bone Knight, and that was going to be hell for Ian to deal with.

The Knight, who could move through the darkness and attack quickly, was going to be a disaster for long-distance dealers.

That cheeky guy. Let me educate you what this truly is.

After a while, Makarons mouth curled up into a smile.

However, the smile of Makaron quickly vanished.

Woong-!

With a resonating sound that came out of nowhere, incomprehensible system messages had come up.

[User Ian has used his unique ability Summon Ban.]

[All the summon skills have been prohibited.]

[The Bone Knight Summon Summon Knight has been canceled.]

!

Ian was a Summoner. However, the skill he used was something detrimental for Summoners.

It was the unique ability of the Summoner KnightSummon Ban.

-Summon Ban

The Summoner Knight had the powerful ability to temporarily disable all the summons.

When the Summoner Knights valor emerges, all the familiars would kneel before that power.

Of course, Summon Ban had conditions that needed to be met in order for it to be activated.

In order for the Summon Ban to be activated, the distance between the target and its caster had to be shortened, and there was a way to release the Ban. Anti-magic skills such as magic resistance could release Summon Bans effects.

One thing was certain; everything was over for Makaron as he had already fallen into the Summon Ban.

There was no one who could help him now.

What is this!

Makaron, who went through training and became a ranker, hadnt lost his cool.

But in the same situation, if it was someone other than Makaron, then they would have surely been shaken.

Dammit, what kind of magic is that?

Makaron was flustered. He quickly cast a spell and widened the distance between him and Ian.

Somehow, in the duration of the Summon Ban, he had to survive from Ians relentless arrows.

Into the Darkness!

The magic that Makaron used was a Darkness Entering one, one of the best spells of the Warlock class.

Darkness Entering magic was a magic that allowed a user to enter the darkness and hide there. This skill was Makarons favorite.

Because of its short casting time, it was a magic that could save its users life.

Even without a spell, it could be cast.

But all his efforts burst like a bubble.

In the ears of Makaron, a low voice from somewhere entered.

-Darkness fall upon.

Pitch black darkness began to fall on the ground.

At the very same time, Makaron, who was supposed to be hidden in the dark, became very visible.

Kakas unique abilityDreaming Devilthat maximized the dark attribute of her allies and incapacitate the dark attributes of her opponent had been activated.

!

Makaron was overwhelmed with shock.

Ping- Ping-!

Red fiery arrows came rushing toward him.

Piiing-!

The Warlock class, which had a vitality that was as fragile as glass, had begun to fall.

Keuk-!

As if there was a leak in the gauge, Makarons vitality began to fall.

* * *

Keu, I was so done!

See, see, what did I tell you? That stat buff is worthless against Jinsung senior, right?

Ha, then isnt he going to get 3 kills just like that?

Why wont he. Since he is Ian god, surely, hell take down everyone and go till he becomes a High General.

The classroom was noisy as hell.

The whole classroom was filled with heated discussions.

The students of the virtual reality were immersed in the cradle of enthusiasm. It was as if they were watching a soccer match finale.

Semi and Young-hoon, who were at the front, were of no exception.

Wah, what just happened? That Warlock ranker didnt even get to do anything, right?

Semi looked to answer Young-hoon, who was mumbling under his breath.

Wanna know what happened?

?

Ian god is God; the one and only religion.

At those words from Semi, Young-hoon clenched his fist out of excitement.

Yes, I need to believe!

Right!

Keuu!

Semi and Young-hoon were cheering for Ian.

Nice! A continuous kill!

It wasnt just the students of the virtual reality who were excited.

The YTBC casters, who were broadcasting live, were also screaming on top of their lungs for Ian.

Yipeee, that was Ian! To take down the worlds highest Warlock ranker just like that!?

That was really great, Ian! Look at those fire arrows over there and the weapon swaps. Makaron wasnt even given the chance to cast any spell.

Indeed. Since Ian narrowed the distance with his amazing movement, there was nothing that Makaron could do.

Uh, by the way, I feel very bad for Makaron. To be done in like that could hurt his game.

But, Hines, why didnt Ian use his weapon right away when the battle began? He didnt even shoot five arrows in the beginning.

That, well, Im not so sure about that. However, there surely had to be some reason for that.

On the screen, Ians battle had been relayed numerous times.

As Ians turn ended, there was just a short time left for the game to proceed.

Semi, who was looking at the screen, opened her mouth once again to talk to Young-hoon.

You-hoon-ah, do you know that?

What?

At the words from Semi, Young-hoon was puzzled.

She smiled and spoke again, Ian god still hasnt even summoned one of his summons.

!

* * *

Ian, who took down Makaron, rushed to him to do a close deal.

The weapon that he used for it was a spear that he made in the forge.

The reason why Ian was swapping weapons was to block the next magic that was cast by Makaron as Hines explained.

Of course, he could have used his bow, but he had no intention of taking an attack from Makaron.

No matter how great Ians archery was, he couldnt get a satisfying deal, and if he missed, the attack he could receive from Makaron could be devastating.

Then why didnt Ian use the weapon from the very beginning?

Not one but there were two reasons for that.

The first one was to confuse the enemy camp.

Maybe there are a lot of confused people now.

For Limlong, who knew about Ian, there was no reason why he would be surprised.

He knew everything about Ians class and what kind of skills he had.

But the rankings were different.

Some of them, like Makaron, didnt really know who Ian was.

Even those who knew about the user called Ian, they didnt know any information about him.

Overseas rankers knew that Ian was a top-ranked user in the Korean server, and his class was a Summoner class.

The battle Ian just participated in just infused them with a lot more confusion.

He shot arrows with his bow. He used a spear and didnt even use any of his summons.

The 2nd reason was to make Makaron careless.

Honestly, Ian wasnt afraid of not narrowing the distance between him and Makaron.

Ian first seemed like a long-distance dealer with a bow in hand, and Makaron confirmed that right away, so he loosened his guard and unconsciously allowed the distance between them to be narrowed.

That made it easy for Ian to trigger the Summon Ban for him to quickly end the battle.

Hmph

With a rugged breath, Ian quickly glanced over at the battlefield.

He stared at the soldiers of the Devil camp, who were at a distance from him.

On my next turn, Im going for this guy.

The Celestial camp was the first one to start the turn, and it wasnt difficult to predict the turn.

[The Devil camp has been given the turn.]

[From the Devil camp, its the Soldier user Chriss turn.]

The Devil army user called Chris upon his turn. He looked at Ian with a slight astonishment.

He was a bit flustered at Ians unexpected performance.

Huhu, sure everyone is confused now. Hes worried as to what is supposed to be done.

Chris was in a dilemma because of that.

He couldnt attack Ian, but even if he did try to attack him, then he wouldnt be able to turn on the defensive mode.

He couldnt even figure out how Ian defeated Makaron, so he was feeling burdened, and if he decided to take the turn, then he would move right next to Ian as there was just one space between them.

If it is hard for you to choose, shall I help you out?

Ian, who looked at Chriss side, opened his mouth with a smile.

Hey, youre thinking that Ill take the win buff and skip a turn, right? I havent even been in the defensive mode yet.

To defeat Ian, who wasnt in a defensive mode, his enemies had to create a 30 percent stat buff gap.

In other words, even if they were in the same rank, there was a buff gap that made too wide of a difference in their stats.

Thanks to the advice of Ian, Chris, quickly overcame the dilemma and stepped toward Ian.

Dude, your words, Ill make you regret saying that.

And Ian, who got his desired situation, was just grinning.
