“Phew, are we all done here? ”

“Oke! I'm done! ”

“I'm done too, Sis. ”

“I'm done! ”

The group that successfully destroyed the dimensionalists' altars quickly completed repairs.

There was no time limit in the Canyon of Heroes, but the sooner you win, the higher your ranking score will be.

“Hers, have you sent Ian a message? ”

“Yes. He just talked to me, and he wants me to use the telephone whenever I'm ready. ”

“Okay, then let's get moving. ”

“Yeesh! This is the second time, so I have some tricks.... It'll be easier to clear. ”

Finally, when the body was fully restored, the five, except for Lemir, gathered together and prepared to move.

And next to him, Remir quickly draws a magic circle with his skilled skills.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Then, between the drawn magic factions, a white light began to flow out…….

Fath-!

With a new system message, the companion's shadow disappears without delay.

- Party Member Lemir cast the Movement Magic Mass Teleport.

- Teleport party member to the coordinates where ‘Ian’ is located.

Disturbing spaces in front of you with short messages.

And after a while.

“Heave-ho!”

The group warps into a place they've never seen before, and immediately they find a familiar face.

The familiar face was, of course, Ian.

“Okay, let's try the second altar right away! ”

With the words of the fighting goddess, the Hun beside him nods, looking at Ian.

“Ian's got a brother. It'll be quick this time. ”

But in the words of the two, Ian snaps his fingers.

“What are you talking about? ”

“…… Huh? ”

“The second altar came after you guys cleared it. ”

“ ……! ”

“This is the entrance to the Valley of Victory, and now it's time to catch that mid-boss over there. ”

Ian shrugs, pointing his finger somewhere.

And those who hear Ian's words are dumbfounded.

* * *

The second altar that Lotus' party had completed was simple.

Ian cleared the first altar before they cleared it.

“How could you do that? ”

“Gosh, what did you do by yourself? ”

“You said you didn't want to try it alone! You said you'd wait for us with the coordinates...! ”

As Ian shrugged his shoulders toward the team protesting betrayal.

“That's how it happened. It's a good thing. ”

“ ……. ”

“Don't waste your time. Let's try the Orcs quickly." ”

I don't know what happened in English, but the group nods first.

Like Ian said, it doesn't matter how he cleared the altar alone.

What's going on is winning the battlefield and watching YTBC rerun.

The only thing I was worried about was whether I could challenge the Orcs with the current specs that had barely cleared the altar.

“But, Ian, are you sure we can try a duplicate right now on our level? ”

“What's your level? ”

“They've all bombed the Altar, so Hoon and Lemir's sister are level six. The rest is Level 5.”

In Hers' words, Ian scratches his back head and replies.

“Hmm……. It's a little low. ”

“What level are you? ”

“I'm level nine. ”

“Phew……. ”

“Orcs are level seven, so let's give it a try. You can bounce if you can't. ”

In Hero's Canyon, even allies do not reveal their level externally.

Of course, you can set it separately so that only your allies can see the level, but Ian's group's setting was the current default.

Because of Ian's level, the party members are freaked out again.

But apart from that, it was true that I felt confident.

‘As expected, Ian God--.. ’

‘I feel insured when I have this brother. ’

‘I'm glad you're in the same guild as that monster. ’

Regardless, the group decides to try the Dimensional Magic 'Orc’ and quickly enters the canyon.

Then, the shape of the distant beast began to become clearer and clearer.

“I feel like an Orc.... ”

“It's huge. ”

“I'm wearing armor for an orc. ”

Each group mutters individually, and as they get closer to him, they pick up the formation naturally.

They had already played countless party plays, so they knew their roles without any additional orders.

“Come on, I'll take the first shot! Get Lemir and Hun ready to cast! ”

“Got it!”

“Got it, bro! ”

Soon after Hun and Lemir started casting magic, Ian immediately summoned the flame poem.

Glug-ug-!

And at level 9, it was triggered simultaneously to the unique ability of open 'weakness detection’.

‘Now, I'm going to pierce your eyebrows. ’

Ian aims for red, glowing weaknesses all over his body and then carefully pulls the bow.

He then began to bounce off the bow as quickly as ever.

Ping-Ping-Ping-!

The flames that left Ian's archery poured into the Orcs, and they were coolly stuck in his head.

Pa Pa Pa Pa!

-Disposed fatal damage to 'Orcs’, Dimensional Sorcery!

- Dimensional Sorcery ‘Orcs’ HP reduced by 364.

- Dimensional Magic Orc HP reduced by 419.

- Dimensional Magic Orc HP reduced by 399.

…… Snapshot……

Of course, it was an Orc that wasn't hit much by an attack of this magnitude, consistent with the title 'Middle Boss’.

After exploding to the mark, Ian immediately pulled out his dagger and jumped towards him, confirming that his HP gauge had decreased by the tail of a rat.

Blame that-!

Soon, the attack magic cast by Hun and Lemir will be fierce, and they will try to strike a blow to the weakness.

And that's when the real battle was about to begin.

A new system message pops up before Ian's group's eyes.

- Tyring!

- The Orcs are furious.

- The ‘Orcs' defense power is reduced by 10%, and all combat power except defense is increased by 25 percent for 10 minutes.

- Orcs move 30 percent faster.

* * *

Orcs are level 7.

And that means that the minimum average level required to defeat Orcs is about seven levels.

Except for Ian, who is a level nine, which is a really reckless challenge.

But the problem was that Ian's level was level 9 and all of his summoners were level 8 or higher.

Moreover, in Ian's hand, there was a ‘sharp frozen dagger’ item that was hard to hold in this section.

‘It's been a long time since I jumped in to catch a boss with such a superclose weapon...' ’

The Dagger is the shortest weapon in Kylan.

Unless you have the skills of the 'Hidden’ class, like the assassin class, it is a very difficult weapon to draw deals stably.

Booooo-!

An enormous Orc club crashes down next to Ian, emitting a terrifying wave of sound.

Boom!

Ian then made a short distance away from it, leaping into the air and rushing toward the Orc chest.

But I was about to put a dagger in his heart.

Heheheh heh heh -!

The Orc snatches its big mouth and throws its head at Ian.

A bizarre attack was triggered by a monster that is hard to see in Humans.

“ ……! ”

If I'm wrong, I could be bitten by the teeth of an ignorant Orc!

Even Ian could not have predicted it, but it was not impossible to cope.

Ian calmly retrieves the sword, kicking his jaw up and out back.

Phew!

It was like seeing a circus act.

‘Khh, what a thrill. ’

Ian had a light smile on his mouth.

Although the attempt on the attack failed, Ian was able to draw his attention to Remir and Hun's magic attacks.

Ian wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and began circling around again to try to get a crack in him.

And the knight-class‘ Taunting ’skill of Hers began sprinting again quickly towards the Orc's flank at the same time.

Papa-!

Ian plunges into Orc territory at lightning speed and pulls out his dagger.

As a monster like the boss, the Orcs quickly escaped Taunt and turned to Ian again, but this was well within Ian's predicted range.

“Blackfeather, wings of darkness! ”

Grrrrr!

Before his club could swing again, it triggered his unique ability.

Though brief, it is definitively the ability of the lizard to ‘terrorize’ the target.

An Orc club is forced to stop in the air, and Ian's dagger sticks deep into the Orc's neck.

Crack!

-Disposed fatal damage to the Dimensional Magic Orc!

- Reduces‘ Orcs' Health by 1029.

- You met the requirements.

-Unique ability ‘Frost Blade Mark’ triggers.

- The dimensional beast 'Orc’ has been branded ‘Frost Blade Marker’.

- Orcs are slowing down by 5 percent.

Ian's jaw bent lightly, confirming that the mark was generated.

There was less damage along with the critical hit, but it was more important to stamp up now than ever.

And the eyes of the party members who confirmed the damage they had inflicted were wide open.

“Holy shit, what's wrong with Dill already? ”

“Is it the level difference? Even so... ”

Remir and Hun's magic inflicted only 600 deaths on him.

Compared to them, they took almost twice as much damage.

You could say, "Isn't that obvious because the level is twice as different, but it was misunderstood."

Hun and Lemir's attacks were magical attacks with high coefficients, and Ian's attacks were just plain attacks.

Apart from the surprises of the party members, Ian is on the move immediately to launch his next attack.

‘You only have to hit it five or six times. Then it's game over. ’

What Ian now believes was an overlapping effect of frost blade markings.

Each time the marker overlapped, it would be slower, and a six-step overlap would definitely slow it down.

The figure indicates that six slowdown stacks will cancel out the movement buff due to the fury effect.

Plus, a frozen blade stacking up to 15 times would turn him into a dipshit.
