356 < (8). Selamus, The Second Trial -1 >

Ian, who rides a non-dragon, literally sprints up.

And it gave me a tremendous excitement that I've never felt in any amusement park.

“Aaahhhh!”

Into the air of the Middle Continent. (Ian screams loudly!)

Ian closes his eyes, barely hanging on the back of a non-dragon.

It's a pity that they found something like a beetle on the neck of a non-dragon before they even started, otherwise they would have fallen to the ground and died.

“How long are you going to keep going up there?! ”

Ian, who was screaming, opened his eyes and looked down.

And I had no choice but to regret it.

It was because he had already climbed to the clouds and had seen nothing beneath his feet.

Such a tall, tall place.

A lump of cold sweat flowed down Ian's back.

“Madness...!! ”

However, without hesitating over Ian's shout, the non-dragon continued to rise vertically.

Grrrrr!

It's been about 30 minutes.

By the time Ian's camp is almost finished, the non-dragon slows down slowly and stops somewhere.

Ian opens his eyes slowly, dropping the squeeze that was holding the mouse tight enough to fly.

And I could see the amazing sights unfolding before my eyes.

“Well, what is it? ”

It was natural that Ian was embarrassed.

It must have been constantly rising up to the sky, but it was wide earth and grasslands in front of him.

But just then, a system message came to mind, as if trying to solve Ian's question.

- Tyring!

[You discovered the perforated land, the Selamus Islands, for the first time.]

[150,000 Reputation.]

:

:

[The forgotten summoners of Selamus begin to watch over you.]

Ian's eyes slightly widened.

"Perforated earth"? So this could be an island in the sky? ’

Ian swipes his head and looks around, coming down from the dragon's back.

And I realized...

Right behind him, there was an open sky with white crowded clouds.

If Ian turns around and walks ten steps, he will probably fall into an endless cliff.

However, the non-dragon, who had been watching Ian so quietly, slowly got up.

And the voice of courtesy resounded in Ian's brain again.

[From now on, follow me. You'd better not be late.]

“Hmmm...? ”

And the dragon flutters into the air again, flapping its enormous wings, leaving Ian in a daze.

Ian couldn't help but open his mouth and panic.

What, what? How am I supposed to follow you? ’

If I could summon the Summoners, I would try to follow them on Finn or Carseius, but I can't right now.

“Maybe... I shouldn't have come down?" ”

But Ian soon realized it wasn't.

It was because the flying dragon flew to the top of a towering tower in the middle of the perforated earth and entered it.

If it is a tower that rises above this earth and not another perforated island, it will be able to climb on both legs somehow.

And before Ian's eyes, a new system message came to mind.

Tyring -

[The first quiz has begun.]

[Within a limited time, reach the room of the non-dragon on the 10th floor of Selamus Tower.]

[Time Left: 02: 59: 59]

[If the destination is not reached within the time limit, the quest will automatically fail and the quest will be lost.]

After reading the message, Ian immediately started running toward the tower without even thinking about it.

It was a tremendous triple S grade quest.

I didn't think there could be enough time.

* * *

“Are we all here? ”

The conference room in Pyro territory.

Guild Master Herss, sitting in the chair, looks around the crowd and asks.

Then Fioran, who was sitting next to him, replies.

“Ian hasn't arrived yet. ”

“Have you ever sent a message? ”

“Yes. He's been denied reception, maybe he went on another quest... ”

With Ian in mind, Herce shakes his head.

I used to take a day off to fix it, but I couldn't wait to see the bird, so I moved to do another quest.

But I didn't worry too much.

I don't know if we didn't talk about it sooner, but one promise was more careful than anyone else.

And the bold strategies, such as the distribution of troops for the remaining territories, were discussed together, so it was not necessary here.

However, as Hers looks around the left, he feels empty.

‘But I think there was someone else who came. Who was it...? ’

But then...

The door of the conference room slowly opened with a sound of profit.

“ …? ”

Then, the eyes of the Lotus Guild leaders in the conference room immediately turned toward the door, and they heard the thumping footsteps through the open door.

The strange thing was, you can only hear footsteps and not see people.

“Well, what is it? Hiding?!"

But Hers seemed to know who came in.

“Is the Hun here? ”

With Hers' question, a half-folded, dark wizard hat pops up onto the table.

“Hehe…. I, Kanzihun, am the greatest dark sorcerer, finally joined the battlefield. ”

The Hun, who casually sits with words that seem like his hands and feet are going to disappear!

One of the guild members nearby looks ridiculous and sees Hers.

“Master, was there a child like this in our guild? ”

Hers chuckles and looks at him with a fierce look in his eyes.

“Kid...! I'm the best black wizard. Victors of the Monarch of Darkness! ”

“ …? ”

The guild members lost their horses because they were so embarrassed.

He would, too. Not many guild members knew Hun.

It was because Hun had joined the guild quite a while ago, but it was the first time he was officially in the position.

Because of this, the guild members have given Hers and Fioran a look for answers, and Hers smiles and nods.

“A bit unusual, but he's definitely one of our guild members. He also has the capability to attend. ”

And someone mutters in a small voice.

“Oh, by the way... I think I've seen the name Kanzihun on the list of guild members. I wish there was a guy with a middle class ID like that... ”

The guild members murmur for a moment, but the subsequent Hers is silent as if dead.

“And Hun, unofficial, is also the number one black wizard ranker. ”

“ …! ”

* * *

Boom-boom-!

Inside the massive stone tower, a series of large strikes resound.

It was like a rock breaking apart, like a cracking sound.

“Out of my way, you bastards! I don't have time for this! ”

Blame- blame-!

Ian was swirling the Spirit King's judgment and breaking the rocks in front of him without cause.

To be precise, it wasn't a rock.

They are the Guardians guarding the tower of Selamus non-dragons.

They were forest golems, monsters of the first 200 levels.

Kuang -!

Ian smashes the head of the rushing Forest Golem without hesitation and rolls the tail of his mouth.

‘Okay, time for reuse has come.... ’

Ian identified the ‘Will of the Selamus Warrior’ skill, the only skill available right now.

At the start of the Selamus Tribe, all but the tribe's skills were sealed, so this was the only skill available.

But in fact, this skill was not enough and it was overwhelming.

What's wrong with a Triple S class quest? Is that because it's still the beginning? ’

Monsters of the perforated earth that have only levels 200 to 210.

They were just weak monsters who had to fall like straw in one fell swoop.

The evidence shows that Ian was already close to the top of the tower, even though it was only 30 minutes out of the three hour time limit.

‘Or... Is it natural that you've almost reached the 300 level limit for quests...? ’

But Ian did not let his guard down until the end.

You will have an easy quest after all these amazing quests that always test your limits, so you will start to have doubts before you get excited.

[You have done fatal damage to Forest Golem, the Guardian of the Forgotten Selamus!]

[Forest Golem health reduced by 497098.]

[You have successfully defeated the Forest Golem!]

[EXP increased by 879500.]

Kuung-!

Ian lightly killed the golem guarding the last corridor on the ninth floor of the tower, then took a deep breath and took a step toward the stairs leading to the top floor.

Intense sunshine pours down from the top of the stairs!

And beyond that, there was a feeling of existence that was beyond compare.

Ian thought it might be a non-dragon.

But there, Ian met a happy face instead of a non-dragon.

* * *

“It's been a while, Ian. ”

With an unfamiliar voice, Ian's eyes widen slightly.

And Ian was able to quickly remember who the voice belonged to.

“Eclipse…! It's been a long time."

An old man with long white hair and white salt.

The appearance of the old man on his back, who had enormous momentum that didn't fit into his small figure, was unusual enough for this Kylan.

As soon as Ian found the Eclipse, he routinely examined the information that was floating on his head.

[Eclipse/Lv285/Selamus Tribe Summoner]

And he laughed.

‘What, I'm on a higher level now? ’

Ian laughs because of the level of Eclipse, which says 285.

When we first met Eclipse, the level difference was over 100 levels, but now Ian's level is even higher.

Meanwhile, the level of Eclipse has increased by about 35 levels, while Ian's level has risen to close to 150.

Ian sensed that this quest would end much easier than he thought.

Eclipse strokes his beard and opens his mouth.

“You... took longer than I expected, by the way. If that's what you saw, I thought you'd be able to challenge the non-dragon's altar much sooner. ”

Ian pauses, nodding and answering beautifully.

“I'm late for my preparations. As the sole successor, we must not disappoint the ancestors of Selamus. ”

A little less than the truth.) It was another excuse, but I can't say that I postponed Child Blood because there were so many other quests.

Either way, Ian's answer is satisfactory, and Eclipse nods, satisfied.

“Indeed…. I trust you will not fail me, of course, to meet the expectations of our ancestors. ”

“Thank you, Eclipse. ”

And at that moment, a system message appeared to Ian informing him that he had passed the first test.

Tyring -

[You have successfully completed the first test of the non-dragon's altar.]

[Duration: 00: 39: 27/03: 00: 00]

[Clear Grade: SSS]

[You have been cleared at SSS level, so you will be rewarded with the corresponding grade.]

You obtained the [Skill Book of Selamus' Vision] item.]

[You have earned 250,000 Reputation.]

As expected, Ian's mouth was filled with laughter after clearing the MAX mark.

Reputation, but I was very satisfied with the items I got as a reward.

The Selamus Vision Skill Book was an item that had already been obtained from a previous quest.

This is the best skill book that allowed Ian to obtain a legendary combat skill called the 'Will of the Selamus Warrior’.

But Ian's happiness (?) could no longer continue.

because the system message didn't end there.

[You have reached or exceeded the specification.]

[The ancestors of Selamus begin to praise your potential.]

[The ‘Test of the Selamus Tribe (Hidden, Associated)’ quest evolves to a higher tier.]

[The 'Absolute of the Selamus Tribe' Quest has been created.]

Ian's face, which had a big smile, hardened in a flash.

< (8). Selamus, that second test - 1 > End
