524 What is Necromancy? (1)

Ian is famous.

And it's not just in Korea.

Since there were so many fans of Ian from all over the world,

However, there was clearly a 'temperature difference’.

In Korea, if Kylan users don't know Ian, they will be treated as spies, but not that much on overseas servers.

At least there are a lot of overseas users who don't know Ian.

And Sarah and Vanessa were users of the latter.

There was no interest at all in other users, especially as Vanessa's personality was closer to the Poisonous Soldier.

So they decided Ian was just a little-known summoner ranker.

“Ian, don't worry, we'll take care of you! ”

“Yes. Vanessa may not have enough..." You can trust them because they're the best summoners. ”

- Tyring!

-User Vanessa invites you to a party.

- Current Party Member: Vanessa and 1 other

-Accept invitation? (Y/N)

Ian smiled happily and accepted Vanessa's party invitation.

The more active these twin sisters were, the easier it would be to brag.

In particular, Vanessa, ranked # 1 summoner on the German server, had a curious curiosity.

‘You're the best summoner...' Well, you'll see now. ’

For German servers, the server is open about 3-4 months later than the Korean server.

In other words, for a summoner who is a trailing class, the starting point is not that different from a Korean server.

Vanessa's condition (?), we should be able to guess some level of that server.

Ian turned his gaze toward Yemuh, and slowly opened his mouth.

“Fine. I'll challenge them together. ”

Then Yerim nodded his short neck up and down, smiling brightly.

“Well, good luck with that. ”

Whoo-hoo!

As soon as Ye finished speaking, there was a blue magic camp in front of Ian.

The three of them then took a step into it without hesitation.

* * *

- Tyring!

- You have entered the "First Gateway to the Platform" dungeon.

- The first test is about to begin.

A two-line system message that comes to mind with an uplifting tone.

The three who entered the new space quickly looked around.

There was no information about the test, so I couldn't relax.

At that time, a sphere of white light was created in front of the three people.

“Huh?"

“ ……? ”

Ian's group carefully examines the sphere in front of them.

The sphere of light extends widely to the side, and is divided into four shadows, each of which rises in front of Ian's group.

Surprisingly, it had different shapes.

Then a new system message began to come to mind.

- Tyring!

-Select a spirit to be a friend.

-Silf/Undine/Salamander/Noum.

- Touch the shadow of a Spirit to see its information window.

- You cannot change a selected spirit once.

- You must pass through all the gates with the Spirit of your choice, so choose carefully.

-Limited time: 358/360 seconds

“Hmm…? ”

I wondered if she had read the whole message.

And what surprised Ian was the same.

It was also an unexpected development.

But apart from him, Ian began to be interested.

‘I heard you can't summon any Summoners and Spirits...' Is that what this is about? "

Ian's head begins to spin rapidly.

We still didn't know the details of the specific exam, but it seemed to be somewhat comparable to the situation so far.

‘You can't use any of your original summons and spirits, and you have to pass through the Gateway with a given Spirit……. ’

The Gateway to Pan has a role to play in allowing Summoner users to learn ‘Necromancy’.

Moreover, if it was arbitrarily designated as a spirit to be with as it passed through the gate, Ian could speculate that the role of the gate would be to test his understanding of the spirit and its ability to operate.

‘If you pass through the Gateway with another summoned water, you won't be able to test your spiritual ability. ’

Ian quickly put things in his head and looked at Vanessa once.

She, like Ian, is troubled in front of the four spirits.

But the next moment…….

“ ……! ”

Ian found four shadows in front of Sarah, which made him look even more interesting.

What came to mind in front of Sarah, the wizard class, was not a spirit, but a form of 'wandwand’.

Ian approaches Sarah and opens his mouth to her.

“Sarah, can you share a system message? ”

Sarah, checking on the staff's information, nods and answers.

“Of course. Just a moment. ”

Then, in the party chat window, I remembered Sarah's personal system message.

-Select a weapon to use.

-Water Staff/Water Staff/Fire Staff/Earth Staff.

- Touch the shadows of the weapon to see the information pane of the weapon.

- You cannot change the weapon you select once.

-Select carefully, as you will need to use your chosen weapon to get through all the gates.

- Timeout: 321/360 seconds

“Oh!”

Ian's eyes even checked Sarah's message.

A little more contoured about the gateway.

‘Given the job description of the weapon, summoners may be able to stop the user's intervention. ’

The wizard Sarah has appointed a weapon, but not the summoners Ian and Vanessa.

In that case, Ian and Vanessa are more likely to breach the Gateway with only Spirit Control.

Ian glances at the four spirits in front of him, calling Sarah and Vanessa to sit down.

“Sarah, Vanessa. ”

“Huh?"

“Why are you calling me? ”

“I think we need to come up with a strategy. ”

“ ……? ”

“You might want to check the information panels of your weapons with your spirits and make your own choices by combining them. ”

In Ian's words, Sarah writhes her head back.

“Ian's right. We definitely need to make a combination. ”

But Vanessa shakes her head, scratching the back of her head.

“The union? But I've already chosen a friend to be with. ”

“Eh……? ”

“Excuse me?”

In Vanessa's answer, Ian and Sarah's gaze was on her at the same time.

Vanessa then opens her mouth again with a fabulous expression.

“Actually, I liked the salamander too much as soon as I saw him. ”

“Ha.”

“So just……. I chose him as soon as I saw him. ”

“ ……. ”

Vanessa gestures, and a lizard appears in front of her.

A cute lizard with a large semi-circular eye surrounded by fire.

Ian stares at the salamander and shakes his head and opens his mouth again.

“Well, I can't help it if it's like this. ”

At Ian's words, Sarah asked with a curious expression.

“Hmm? What are you going to do? ”

Ian smiles bloody and replies to Sarah.

“What can I do? With Vanessa's chosen salamander, we have to match our combination. ”

“Well……. There's nothing else we can do. Gasoline.”

Ian and Sarah's gaze was again on Vanessa at the same time.

All Vanessa did was ask if she was sorry.

But now the group has no time to give Vanessa Pinzan.

Ian and Sarah's conversation resulted again.

“We have about four minutes left. ”

“Three minutes and 50 seconds to be exact. ”

“I'll talk to you in two minutes, Sarah. ”

“Okay, that's enough. ”

Although not specifically, Sarah understood exactly what Ian meant by two minutes.

By "2 minutes," Ian meant that we should check the specific information window of the choices we can make, then discuss the remaining time and make a combination.

Ian first checked the information window of the spirit 'Salamander' that Vanessa had chosen.

- Salamander.

Spirit: 0/200

Properties: Flame

Rank: Lesser Spirit

Summon Duration: 250 min (Cooldown: 300 min)

AP: 135

DP: 75

Agility: 105

Intelligence: 155

HP: 2,980

Unique Ability

* Small spark (25 seconds cooldown)

-Call a small flame, dealing 250 percent fire damage over a 50-centimeter radius.

The Flame lasts for 20 seconds and lasts 5 seconds each time one of the affected targets is increased.

Reduces the cooldown by 5 seconds when you kill an enemy with a ‘Small Flame’.

* When a Spirit reaches MAX, it evolves to a higher Spirit.

(A certain amount of Spirit is charged each time you use a Summon Magic that requires a Flame attribute.)

* The higher the summoning power of the Summoner, the longer the summoning duration of the Spirit.

"Uh, lower spirit? ’

Ian immediately noticed the salamander's status window.

It reminds me of the first time I got a splash in the Summoner's Tower.

‘Chewy was a lesser spirit from the first time...' Was the lesser spirit not the lowest ranked? ’

What was even more surprising was that there was‘ intelligence ’among the salamander's stats.

He didn't even have a stat called "intelligence."

‘Even though he's an intermediate spirit. ’

But this question was not an immediate answer.

As a result, Ian immediately moved his gaze toward his unique abilities.

‘A little spark……. It's a little narrow, but it's a broad skill anyway. ’

Wide range attack magic that increases duration as you fire more enemies.

For such a conditional wide area magic, the power may vary by more than a factor depending on the control.

Moreover, since killing has the added effect of decreasing the cooldown, it was a skill that can be used as a powerful attack magic.

Ian's gaze flashed toward Vanessa after he learned about the salamanders.

"Well, you're ranked # 1 in German server ranking, so you can trust the controls, right? ’

Ian, who turned off the salamander's info window, now looks over the other three spirits.

Now Ian would have to choose one of these to be a spirit with the skills best suited to Salamander's unique abilities.
