110 < (2). Secrets of the Porlas Plateau -2 >

* * *

Ian and Harin Exploring the Porlas Plateau (?), the battle for the Lotus Guild ended smoothly.

As Ian predicted, the Polaris Guild has used up more than half its power in 3,4,5 matches.

And fighting such a Polaris guild and the Lotus guild that preserved almost all the power except Ian.

Moreover, since the Lotus Guild had a much more advantageous battle, there was no way to defeat the similar ranking of the Lotus Guild, even if Polaris Guild hired mercenaries.

In the end, according to Ian's strategy, the first territorial war of the Lotus Guild resulted in the final victory of the Lotus Guild in the sixth battle.

“I've been guarding it for a week. ”

In Fioran's words, Hers smiles joyfully and replies.

“In a week's time, the military facilities will also level up to level 3 and most of the defensive towers they're building will be completed, so you can stop them if you attack from a stronger guild. ”

In Kailan, once a territory war is fought, the territory is converted to a week-long Node Protection State.

With the exception of Node Protection, if you attack another territory during the Node Protection Period, the Node Protection of that territory will be released automatically, but you didn't plan to do so.

“This... I haven't done anything, but I feel a little embarrassed that I won. ”

As Fioran gives a fabulous look, Hers nods.

“I feel the same way. Ian built it all by himself. So we did the strategy exactly as Ian had designed it. At least Fioran was able to perform well with broad-spectrum skills in the last Water Temple. I didn't really do anything because I'm a knight class. ”

Proximity classes in the Water Temple were difficult.

Especially in a battle so easily won.

Once the outer perimeter has been breached and enemy forces have infiltrated, the melee class will have a fighting chance, but the Polaris guild is only a few soldiers away, so even the outer borders are not far behind.

“Well, anyway. Thanks to you, there are two guild rankings. ”

“I see.”

“By the way, should another guild wager a territorial war after the one week Node Protection Period ends? ”

“Well…. ”

In Fioran's question, Hers takes a moment to think slowly.

“I think the odds are pretty good. Now, everyone is more careful about winning the Territory War than they were at the beginning... But it seems that our territory is very coveted. ”

“I see.”

“And Ian asked me to walk some territorial wars around the end of the protection period.... ”

“Yes?”

Fioran, who was only thinking about defending the territory, was embarrassed by Hers' words.

Her words continue.

“Can we do that? ”

Hers shrugs.

“Well, it's not decided... but it could be dangerous... Ian has an idea, so he must have said something...? ”

While entering the Territory, it would be a waste if another guild entered Lotus' territory.

Even though it was a different territory at the same time, the guild members who were registered as fighters could not participate in any battle.

Fioran mutters, contemplating for a moment.

“Well... only the lord, we. ”

When Fioran shakes her head, Hers laughs and agrees with her.

“Sure. And for the next week, we're going to have to work a little harder on the hunt. Ian's gonna catch up with us. ”

Then Fioran laughs and rebukes.

“Weren't you already caught up with Herce? ”

Hers sighs and replies.

“Still… I'm a level 1 higher…. Maybe…."

Fioran giggles and adds.

“Indeed…. ”

* * *

The name of the dungeon Ian first discovered in the Forlas Plateau was called the Bloody Way.

And according to its name, the structure of the dungeon was an elongated passageway that runs through just one road, and the place was covered in red blood.

When I first entered the dungeon, Harin was a little frightened of the atmosphere, but I was able to find peace as soon as the battle began.

It was because there were monsters that were not so different from the dungeons.

Moreover, the passageway was not wide, allowing for safer hunting than when fighting in the field.

Since the passageway was narrow enough to prevent it completely with just two loaves of bread, Harin would not be in danger unless Ian who was fighting in front of him died.

So Harin, who was hunting for a long time with Ian, muttered.

“This passageway is pretty long, by the way. ”

Ian nods at her words.

“Yeah, well, it's not a structure that can go down or up to another floor, it just goes forward like this. ”

“Yes. I hope something changes... Any bright spots? ”

Ian grumbles, answering her.

“Don't you think there 'll be a bright map after this passageway? By the way, I wish I had more monsters.Why are they squeaking like this? When you eat twice the EXP, you have to hunt closely... ”

Harin shakes his head unwittingly.

At her standards, it was still a pretty hard hunt, and seeing Ian complaining made me sigh.

“That's enough now, Jinsung... ”

Harin turns his head to look back at Pinzan.

Just before Ian opened his mouth, he heard a familiar cry from deep inside the dungeon.

Ow!

It's nothing but howling wolves!

It even sounded very similar to Rye's.

Otherwise, the eerie atmosphere resounded with the howling of the wolves, and Harin became slightly terrified.

“Hey, you're grumbling, so I think I've got more monsters. ”

Ian smiles heavily, as he looks around inside, clutching his arms tightly next to him.

“I'm relieved to think of it as just a bunch of experience points. ”

Ian is in position.

From the way you feel on the inside, there seems to be quite a large number of monsters.

“Get ready to fuck! ”

Bloop-oop-oop.

Ian, who was unable to use broad-spectrum skills because of the monsters that were constantly showing up in small increments, was struggling otherwise.

“Lake, Finn. As soon as I give you the signal, get ready to use your skills. Okay?"

In Ian's words, the two summoners responded at the same time.

Rrrrr

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Immediately, monsters appeared inside the dark cave.

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

However, Ian was somewhat embarrassed after checking the faces of the monsters.

“What, it's Lai? ”

Harin was surprised as well.

“Eek? Was it on the same paper field as Lai? ”

The name 'Bloody Mane Wolf’ that came to mind over the monsters' heads confirmed their words.

Ian gestured to Harin.

“Haryn, you have to be careful this time. Stay a little further back. ”

“Yeah, I get it. ”

Ian said, without hesitation, Harin fled to a slightly farther place.

In the case of the Yetina Ice Roll that has appeared in the dungeon so far, it was not dangerous for Ian to block it because he was big and slow, but basically if the Bloody Mane Wolf had much superior impulse power, the story was different.

Moreover, there were a lot of numbers, so I don't know when to squeeze a gap and attack Harin.

If she was bitten to death, Harin would immediately have to watch the gray screen.

‘It's before and after level 125 and all rare grade monsters... ’

The level itself was not significantly different from Yeti, but it was a problem that the ratings were one step higher.

Ian, who was cultivating his own summoners, was well aware of how a grade-one difference impacted his stats.

‘About seven in total… and more may appear during battle. ’

Ian feels nervous for the first time since he came to the Porlas Plateau.

And the wolves who found Ian quickly started rushing in.

“Fuck me, go ahead! ”

The breadcrumbs moved forward to get the best angle to cast the Abyss Hall as always.

Ian then trickily directs the flying wolves to move one side of the passageway.

“Now!"

Ian shouted, and without hesitation, he stretched out his arms.

Kuo-!

And out of the seven wolves, five have begun to be drawn within the bounds of the Abyss Hall.

“Finn, Lake! ”

Ian gestures and the two summoners' broad skill burst out.

Kuaaaa-!!

Ian saw that the skills in the area were activating properly and climbed onto Harley's back.

“Harley, Lai. Let's go!"

Ian and Lai, riding on Harley, rush toward the other two wolves.

[Summoner ‘Harley’ uses the 'Guardian of the Wind’ skill.]

[Summoner ‘Harley’ 's agility is increased by the remaining Combat stats combined.]

The white-lit wind surrounds Harley and Ian and begins to surge.

Ian holds on tight to Harley.

For the next two minutes, I couldn't let go of the tension strap if I didn't want to get off Harley's back moving like crazy wind.

Gaaaa-!

Ian gives his legs strength so he doesn't fall, and shoots a sphere of magical power over Harley's back, which charges forward.

Pow, pow!

The recovered spiritual power subsequently triggered current expansion.

Job-supporting-!

Even above Harley, moving at a rapid pace, Ian's attack never misses.

Precisely heavy current outgrowth to the wolves bounces off several times before disappearing into thin air.

[Bloody Mane Wolf falls into Paralysis.]

[The cooldown time for the 'Current Growth’ skill has been reset.]

Meanwhile, thanks to Ian on his back, Harley had easy access to the target.

Quadruck-!

Harley, who had succeeded in catching one of the seedlings, roughly bit his neck.

[Summoner ‘Harley’ deals fatal damage to 'Bloody Mane Wolf’!]

[Bloody Mane Wolf HP -8125.]

It was a Bloody Mane Wolf with low HP and defense power, but after reaching level 125, it didn't die easily with a few attacks.

‘Is this because Level is a gangster...? ’

Ian was a little surprised.

It was because the five wolves who had not completely dodged all the squadrons were still breathing.

It was surprising considering the power of Lake Bress and Finn's grinding skills.

However, seeing the names of the wolves flashing rapidly, Ian ordered Rye without hesitation.

“Lai, the hunger for blood! ”

Perfect timing to trigger your bloodlust skills!

Grrr!

A red-blooded aura gushes from Rye's body.

[Summoned ‘Lai’ uses the 'Bloody Desire’ skill.]

[Summoner's Attack and Agility are increased by 30% for 3 min.]

[Summoned Rai moves 40% faster for 3 minutes.]

[From now on, when attacking enemies with less than 30% Health, all Rai attacks do 2 damage.]

Rye leaps headlong into the wolves.

And the rice cakes, lakes, and pins that saw it also moved cleverly to block the path of the wolves' movement.

Queeeo-!

Pin, who cried once in the air, helped Rye defeat the wolves with immense speed.

[You defeated the Bloody Mane Wolf. You have gained 142300 EXP.]

Gain 4122 Gold from [Bloody Mane Wolf].]

[Obtain Blood Shard.]]

Ian found an item on the corpse of a wolf named 'Blood Fragment’ that became a curious expression.

What is this? Is it like a quest item...? ’
