[Hello, YTBC Kylan Evening News Hines.]

[I'm Lucia.]

[Lucia, what news have you received today?]

[There is also a lot of interesting news today, but I think the first news I should introduce is about the Hidden Episode.]

[Hidden Episode, you mean the "The Rise of Darkness" episode triggered by all users who are over 200 levels human?]

[Yes, thanks to LB's first-ever scenario viewing mode, almost all users are aware of it, but from that day forward, an army of darkness is beginning to emerge across the continent of Colonare. A lot of high-level users are throwing parties right now to fight this dark army.]

[I see. On average, what level are these armies of darkness?]

[The level of the undead varies from the beginning of the 200th level to the end of the 300th level, but it is said that the level varies a lot depending on the region in which it appears.]

[Can you elaborate?]

[Of course, the undead level in Open Field is generally the weakest in the first 200 levels, and the undead level in a particular dungeon or instant field is generally high.]

2nd grade negligence with Korea University Virtual Reality.

In front of the TV in the corner of the fruit, four or five people were gathering to watch YTBC Kailan's channel.

Among them, there were seminars, Young-hoon and Minsu who teamed up with Jinsung in the first semester.

“Hey, seminar. Do you think it's okay for us to be in the wrong as soon as we open...? ”

A cautious question from Young-hoon, the semi answered with a sticky nod.

“As soon as I opened it! It's been a full day since I opened it. And why don't you watch the news in public without class? ”

“Because the news is game news, it's a little obvious. If you come in... ”

“When the professor comes in? You might want to take a look. ”

“ …. ”

A raging semi and young hoon.

Minsu, who fixed his gaze on the screen, gave them a pint.

“Shut up, you guys. This is important. You want to keep talking? ”

He gave a silly look.

“Come on, you're always watching the news and videos so hard. If you had leveled up at that time, you would have already leveled up to 300. ”

“It's noisy...! ”

But there was a commotion.

At the beginning of the news in earnest, the noisy fruit quickly became quiet.

And the other students who were sitting around doing private work, too, gathered together in front of the TV where the seminar was playing.

[And Heinz, we have a very special treat for you today.]

[Oh! If it's a special type...!]

[Yes, it is. After this Lucia has sold her energies hard for the viewers, she has won an interview for the party that discovered the fifth enchantment!]

[Wow, that's amazing! What party did you find your fifth encephalogram at?]

[As many of you may have guessed, the fifth phylloxe was discovered by the Titan Guild expedition. There were even more than a dozen Desknights guarding the enclosure.]

[Oh! That's amazing. Hot news that hasn't been released to the official community yet!]

[But Heinz, it's still early to be surprised.]

Why? Is there a bigger feature?]

[Yes! The soul fragment of the Rich King Charleon was found in the common field, not in the enclosure!]

While watching TV with my breath, Minsu opens his eyes and mutters in a small voice.

“Oh…? There's a piece of charlian's soul on the field? ”

Young-hoon who was next to me helped me.

“Oh, yeah. If that's true... We're not in the middle of this, are we? ”

“Why?”

“Brainworms are tough, but Fields is worth a shot at our party. I heard that 1 Million Contribution Points can be found and destroyed for a single Sharian Soul Fragment...! ”

As the ‘Rise of Darkness’ scenario was triggered, all level 200 + human users were able to receive quests related to the scenario.

Each time you perform a quest related to a scenario, the user's scenario Contribution Points will increase, which can be exchanged for good titles, items, etc.

For example, for a 'Legendary Grade Gear Box’ where you can get Legendary Grade equipment at random, you can buy it by paying 200,000 Contribution Points.

However, the 'Destroy Charleon's Soul Pieces’ quest offered a million Contribution Points, so it was natural for users to turn on the lights and look around.

“Well, Young-hoon makes sense from what I hear. It's only 60,000 or 70,000 Contribution Points that we accumulated last night because of the hits... If we find one soul fragment, we'll earn almost 10 days. ”

“Yeah, it's worth a shot. ”

And while the people in the fruit were making noise, the screen that was illuminating the newsroom changed once.

The beginning of the playback footage of Kailan.

Lucia's voice then flowed through the TV.

[Knights of Death and Legions of Darkness in the Heights of Hayasis! I'm going to show you now some of the hard-to-air combat footage of Lucia.]

The eyes of the students gathered in front of the TV began to focus more on the screen.

But the next moment, a stretch of elasticity came out of the semi's mouth.

“It's Ian...! ”

Young-hoon and Min-soo also hold their heads in awe.

“Ah, it's Ian Gode again. ”

“Khh, yeah. The real question is, how many Contribution Points did Ian have? ”

“Well, I don't know, maybe five million. ”

“Oh, that's not it. Even if the soul fragments found so far are alone, they don't contribute as much as 10 million... ”

The semi nods and adds.

“Yeah, five million is over, maybe a million or two. ”

“Whew. Still, I envy you. ”

Students watching the screen while having a dialogue.

But then...

Shawn suddenly took out a word.

“Young-hoon, by the way. You know Ian.... ”

“Huh?"

“Don't you look a bit like Mr. Jinsung? I hadn't thought about it all this time because of the hair and equipment, but I saw a photo of Ian cracking up on the Internet. ”

Minsu told Young-hoon, but the answer came from somewhere else.

“Eek…?! Minsu, don't even say that. ”

“Why?! It makes sense. Even the crazy data Jin gave us last semester, it would explain if you were Ian. Besides, there's been a lot of talk about Ian being a student at our school. ”

However, the semi shakes its head and collapses into a single sentence.

“Anyway! That's not gonna happen! Nothing!”

And seeing the sticky semi, Young-hoon smiled bloody.

“Hey, you know how crazy Ian is for seminars, right? ”

“Why, what does it matter? ”

“It doesn't matter! ”

Young-hoon's mouth dried up.

“You just broke a semi illusion. ”

“ …. ”

“Remir! Shields!”

“Got it!”

Whoo-hoo!

Around Ian on top of Harley, a red shield is created.

A thin layer of flame that looks like lava flowing down.

Ian, surrounded by a flame barrier with Lemir's support, rushes towards the boss monsters on the field.

Undead monsters that look a lot like Desknight.

However, a knight of Command, a boss monster of another dimension, wields a great sword at Ian.

[Cocky Human...!]

Kaga River -!

The judgment of the Spirit King of Ian and the sword of the Lord Commander's Knight are intertwined, and an eerie hiss echoes.

Totally-Totally-!

And whenever the two weapons are engaged, a spark is ignited by the Flame Barrier's influence.

The effect of the flame barrier is to absorb 10% of the maximum damage over time.

Therefore, in order to maximize the effectiveness of the Flame Barrier, it was important to completely prevent enemy attacks.

Successful defense absorbs as little as 30% to as much as 90% of the damage, since if you have a flame barrier you absorb an additional 10% of the damage.

So in fact, the Flame Barrier is the support technology of the Fire Brigade that knight class users prefer most.

For a Knight class, if you use a shield to stop an attack, that alone can absorb 80-90% of the damage.

Therefore, if you use shield technique well, it is also possible to prevent 100% damage with the effect of the Flame Barrier.

Of course, monster-like controls can be used to prevent more than 80% of the damage in a row without using shields.

Caaang -!

As Ian shows us now, if you minimize the impact.

Ian holds back all Desknight's attacks with little to no damage.

But then...

[With the power of the commander...!]

Desknight begins chanting in a low voice, and raises the Dagger into the air.

The Black Energy of Black Chalk begins to erupt from the tip of the Great Sword of Dark Light!

Ian saw it, quickly stepped back and swapped the equipment.

More mounting than swaps, to be precise.

He held the judgment of the Spirit King with his right hand, and in his left hand he took out a noble dragon shield made of a lot of shells.

In a defensive posture, Ian signals to the Legacy, who was fighting the other undead from the right.

“Yousshi! Now! ”

“Got it."

Then the golden light emanating from the goddess' hands wraps around all the party members once.

This was a unique skill that temporarily increased the life force of all party members.

It was also a preeminent skill because it had a decent coefficient of 15% caster life.

“Good…! ”

Ian's sharp gaze draws him to the edge of the knight's sword, which is gathering an aura of silence.

The Phantom Sword is the ultimate in Commander's Knights and boasts the strongest attack coefficient.

The casting time of the Phantom Blade is 15 seconds.

However, it was a tricky skill that could not be undone because the skill was temporarily invincible during casting.

Plus an enormous amount of deceptive wide-area attackers with counts and attack ranges.

But the law of retaliation was surprisingly simple.

Avoid, or endure.

All you have to do is survive the Phantom Sword.

After using this technique, the Commander's Knight was completely defenseless for 10 seconds.

If you don't catch him in that 10 seconds, he's a beast with the most life force again, but Ian's party isn't the problem.

The Lotus Guild is packed with Remir and Ian, as well as a large number of top dealers.

If they put Pridil in there for 10 seconds, there's very little chance of him surviving.

‘I'll end this once and for all...! ’

Ian lifts up the noble dragon's shield to its maximum defense power.

And that moment.

Kung-ku Kung-gu!

The barren earth begins to quake.

“Here we go!"

The energy emanates from the tip of the Commander's Knight's Blade and spreads with a zigzag.
