570 Final Preparation (1)

- ‘??? ’You have won against the challenger team.

- You can challenge the Spirit's Stamp on the 14th floor.

- Do you want to challenge? (Y/N)

…… approximate……

- You won against a trainee!

- You have successfully completed the Spirit's Seal 14 floors.

- You cleared the 14th Floor of the Spirit Stamp for the first time.

- Initial clear reward is applied.

- You won the 'Ultimate Essence × 2' item.

- You got 28 hero points.

Ian, who successfully pushed Ralph's group out, quickly challenged the 14th floor after a brief maintenance.

And I was able to successfully complete the process without difficulty.

‘This place is easier than the 13th floor. ’

Of course, the absolute difficulty is 14 floors harder than 13 floors.

However, for Ian, the 14th floor was easy because of his "imagination."

The 14th floor apprentice class was a summoner, and Ian was the easiest opponent to deal with.

‘Thanks to your skill, I got a little honey at the end. ’

One of Summoner Knights' unique abilities, Summer Ben.

Although there are a few conditions, this skill can completely disable the summoners of the opposing summoner. It is a disaster for the summoner to deal with Ian.

Moreover, as Ian expected, the initial clear compensation was applied from the 14th floor.

“Khh, do I really have to go through the last hurdle? ”

After finishing repairs in the waiting room, Ian takes a deep breath and slowly steps inside the gate.

Then the next moment…….

- Go to the Spirit's Seal 15th Floor.

With a line of messages, Ian's vision is covered in darkness.

* * *

- Tyring!

- You are on the 15th floor of the Spirit's seal.

- You have entered the gate of the test for the first time.

- Gain 50,000 Reputation.

Ian's vision slowly lit up as a new system message followed in the dark.

And in front of his eyes, there was a very familiar person.

“Wow, it's been a long time. ”

Ian's mouth opens without even knowing it.

“Sharon……? ”

It was because the appearance of the NPC in front of him was too plausible with the Spirit Guardian Charlon.

And NPC, who heard Ian, came forward with a more interesting look.

“Do you know my brother? ”

In NPC's words, Ian nods and answers.

“I know Charlon, the Fairy Guardian. ”

“Oh-ho.”

“I came all this way on his behalf. ”

Ian realizes that the opponent in front of him is Charleon's younger brother.

And I could figure out what to do right now.

Ian picks up the necklace he received from Charlon.

“This……? ”

Charleon's eyes widen slightly as he found the necklace, followed by Ian's words.

“I received this from Charlon. ”

“ ……! ”

“I told you to deliver it to Charlion. ”

Charlion, who had an interesting look, received a necklace from Ian.

Then I remembered the quest system message again.

- I gave the seal of the Spirit to the Sharion offender, the Recommended Hand.

- Quest conditions have been met.

And Charleon began to read the phrase on the back of the neck.

‘Hmm, I hope this quest is complete without any trouble...' ’

The words on the necklace were written in a language that Ian could not read.

However, Ian was able to give a rough analogy to the content.

based on the information written on the quest window.

‘But that's not going to happen. That's just a letter of recommendation. ’

According to the quest information window, Charlon gave Ian a recommendation letter recommending him as an 'honorary connoisseur’.

And in order to become the honorary connoisseur, you must pass the Chalion's test.

Ian stands in front of Charleon, waiting for the quest to resume, and soon his mouth reopens.

“Hehe, that's interesting. A letter of recommendation from my brother himself... ”

Chuck!

Charlion looks odd and pulls something out of his chest, placing the scabbard on the table.

Ian's gaze was then automatically fixed on the object.

“What... is that mask?" ”

With Ian's question, Charleon's mouth reopened.

“The babysitter you're holding. ”

“Yes……? ”

“I was born with it. ”

“ ……! ”

Ian's heart began to beat.

It was just a description of Charleon that made me realize what the mask looked like.

‘Guardian's Mask……! ’

Mask of the Guardian, the reward for the 'Chalon's Quest’ and another new Guardian item.

The most important reason I came to the 15th floor of the stamp, was that it appeared to me sooner than I expected.

* * *

- Tyring!

- Seal of the Spirit, entering the first ‘Gateway to the Test'.

- Special restrictions apply as you are in the middle of the 'Chalon's Quest'.

- All abilities other than ‘Aesthetics’ are sealed. (The item's unique abilities can be used.)

A fierce battle with Ralph's group.

On a map with a very similar structure, Ian and Charleon face each other.

But interestingly, Ian had the mask of the Guardian on his face.

The Guardian's Mask is a reward for completing the 'Chalon's Quest'.

Then, would Ian have already passed Charleon's test and completed the quest?

“Tell me when you're ready. ”

“Very well, Charleon. ”

“There's no rush. ”

In conclusion, Charleon's test has not yet begun.

Now, Charleon lent me his mask to carry out the ‘test'.

‘Well, I've never had a quest like this before... ’

Charleon's test was a kind of gateway that Ian had never undergone.

Of course, I thought I would just have to fight him and win, but the test was a little far from that.

Ian recalls a moment of the conversation he had with Charleon before entering the Arena.

- How do I pass the test?

- Show me you have the makings of a guardian.

- Talent……?

- That's right.

- How can I show you that?

- It's not that hard. The Guardian's Mask I just lent you. All you have to do is draw out what this mask is capable of.

- ……?

- You'll see what I'm talking about when you come up against me.

Charleon didn't say he had to win the duel.

Instead, I asked you to lend me the Guardian's equipment and maximize the ability of the item.

‘Make the most of your masks……. First, we need to find out which items have which abilities. ’

Ian opens the mask's information window and begins to read it thoroughly.

Charleon also said he didn't need to rush, so he thought about taking the test after clearing his head as carefully as possible.

Ian was confident that the key to completing this quest would be in the Item Information Window.

This was used by the Guardians of Pneuma.

I lost my master and was sealed, so I haven't found my strength yet.

‘Phew, the mask of the Spirit.... I've never seen such complex unique abilities. ’

Over the years of playing Kailan, Ian has leveraged countless different unique abilities.

But now, like the ‘Mask of Spirit’, I had never seen a unique ability with complex mechanisms.

‘I think I should activate my unique ability when the Masked Spirit possesses the attribute I want……. ’

Ian decided to try his‘ Spirit Mask ’unique ability once.

You only have 20 seconds to wait for reuse anyway, so trying it now shouldn't interfere with the duel.

- Activates the 'Spirit's Mask’ unique ability.

Shya-!

As a familiar system message rises, a scattered sound echoes around the mask.

And on the top of the mask, the blue energy began to sag.

Is this water? ’

He was wearing a mask on his face, so I couldn't see what the spirit looked like, but I could see what it was like just by the energy I felt.

However, the moment Ian tried to activate the 'power of the Spirit',

Shya-!

The scattered sound echoes again, and this time you begin to feel the earth's energy.

‘Aha, you mean like this? ’

Ian pauses his abilities and watches the mask change.

Then the masked spirit changed quickly in the order of water, earth, wind, and fire, and soon it hid its energy.

- Over the time limit, the Masked Spirit dissipates.

An interesting look came to Ian's face when he saw the message.

This is fun. ’

The unique ability of the mask, which was not fully understood by the description alone, began to be organized in my mind.

After a short wait for reuse, Ian once again triggered his unique abilities.

And this time, the Fire Spirit was summoned first.

Shhhhh!

And Ian triggered his ability without delay the moment the Spirit of Flame was summoned.

“Capacity! ”

Kwam! Kwam!

An intense flame erupts around Ian.

Just as it was written in the skill information window.

“Oh.”

Ian smiled and waited for the reuse waiting time to return.

Pow, pow!

You little...!

From there, he stood in the same place for quite a long time, and repeatedly triggered his unique abilities without rest.

Of course, the ability of the spirit to be activated each time was still different.

Could it have been more than 10 minutes?

“I'm ready, Charleon. ”

Ian looks back at Charleon and rolls one lip up.
