769 < 766.4. Ancient Spirit Secret >

Hundreds of beads filled up in an instant because of the appearance of fakes that you didn't expect (?) Ian's group.

Fortunately, once inside the dungeon, there was no way out again until it was cleared.

If the dungeon had been free to enter, it would have been someone else who would have been able to use Ian's improvement wizards to continuously water the beads of harmony.

Of course, it was never enough to consume all 600 beads of harmony.

“Huff, huff. ”

“Wait a minute, Ian. Let's take a little break. I'm gonna run out of gas. ”

“Okay, let's just take a 10-minute break and get back to work. ”

“Okay, let's just take a 10-minute break! ”

Ian's group, who wiped out all the storm spirits, repeated the same task over and over again when a good-looking spirit appeared.

As a result, he continued to capture nogada for nearly 20 hours, and the beads of coordination with Ian were about 400 exhausted.

And Ian's capture success rate boasted more than 99 percent, so his 400 beads became a sealed spirit and entered Ian's inventory.

If you could release these numbers of spirits in one place, it would be a new dungeon, and it would be the ecosystem destroyer himself.

“Hmm, I think we've conquered almost 70 percent of the dungeons now……. Where the hell is the Ancient Spirit? ”

Ian checks the map, circling the area, even while proclaiming a break.

The twin sisters had no choice but to stick their tongues out, seeing Ian looking at the terrain of the dungeons in every corner.

“Phew, how can you be so angry and still be able to arm yourself? ”

“Is she an NPC and not a user? AI made by the developer to screw rankers. ”

Vanessa shakes her head, pulling out the conspiracy theories.

Ian's incomprehensible spirit and stamina were unrealistic in comparison to conspiracy theories, so Sarah also nodded her head.

“Ha, I'm pretty sure I jumped, but my level up and palming speed are crazy……. ”

“That's right. ”

“We'll probably suffer like this, and then the next time Ian calls us, we'll just have to cut and run, right? ”

“I never want to think about it now, but humans are oblivious creatures. ”

“ ……. ”

Meanwhile, while the twin sisters were sitting on a rock, talking nonsense, Ian was exploring the dungeon in quite a distance.

When I was halfway through the dungeon, I was not particularly anxious because I thought, "Maybe I'll see the Ancient Spirit someday," but now I feel anxious as soon as I see the end of the dungeon.

‘Though not necessarily ancient spirits, I've caught a lot of decent ones, but unfortunately. ’

Even when he first searched for the Contaminated Spirit, Ian had not thought of anything like the Ancient Spirit.

I was just going to take a guy with a great stat to Nogada, and raise him well.

But a man's heart is a cunning law of Bondi.

Now that I have found the "Ancient" Spirit and I know that there is a contaminated Ancient Spirit somewhere in it, the story is different.

‘I think the twins are tired too, so I should take a break and explore. It's more important to find the Ancient Spirits somehow than to catch common spirits. ’

Ian wanders relentlessly around where he feels so energetic, even though he hasn't made eye contact for more than 24 hours.

And it's been about 15 minutes?

Ian takes a step back to return to where the twins are.

Rather than searching alone, rolling twin sisters would be more efficient.

But that's when.

Blame-!

Ian, who was about to move around like that, swung his head and lowered.

Ian's pupils were then enlarged greatly, whether he had found something.

"That golden energy! Is there a clue there? ’

And where Ian's gaze was fixed, a translucent golden azrang was blooming.

* * *

A golden azimuth spreading out from one corner of the dungeon.

And surrounded by its mystical energy, the familiar looking intermediate spirit.

As soon as I saw his appearance, some confidence and assumptions in Ian's brain passed instantaneously.

‘I found it……! He must be the Ancient Spirit! ’

In fact, the appearance of the spirit Ian found was very familiar.

It was the same as the storm spirit 'Blestia' in which Ian captured the most people in this dungeon.

However, the atmosphere from him was completely different from the usual storm spirits Ian was dealing with.

Obviously, the system box on top of my head said it was a ‘Medium’ Storm Spirit, like the other spirits.

The feeling of existence was clearly more than that of a higher spirit.

So when Ian checked him out, he was able to come up with a more confident assumption.

"The Ancient Spirit didn't exist as an entity at all. If any ordinary spirit had an ancient power, it would become an ancient spirit. ’

And as Ian felt the energy of the slow moving creature, he became more and more nervous.

He was the first one I found while I was searching the dungeon all day, giving up my sleep, and I didn't know when I would see him again if I missed him this time.

The horrible assumption of missing him was that I didn't even want to imagine.

Sarah, Vanessa, get over here. I found an ancient spirit.

- Really? Is there an Ancient Spirit?!

- Somewhere! I'll be right there!

Haven't you forgotten the difficult words of the Ancient Spirit? Sarah and Vanessa answer willingly.

Ian told me that she was afraid that her motivation would go wrong.

- Ian: If he comes too noisy, he could get away, so get to my coordinates quietly. You got it?

- Okay, got it!

After arriving at these coordinates, Sarah and Vanessa are able to find the Ancient Spirit with ease.

Then I started approaching him slowly, surrounding him carefully.

- All right. We need to keep them safe and cover them so they don't get away.

- Okay.

Are you going to attack him yourself?

- Ian: Yeah, I'll fight my way to you.

- All right!

After thoroughly checking the surroundings made by Sarah and Vanessa, the summoners and the shamans, Ian carefully got up and climbed to Iron.

And I slowly approached him with a flashing window in front of me.

“You bastard, you finally found it...! ”

Ian quickly approaches the Ancient Spirit with a broad look on his face.

The ancient spirit who then discovered Ian also began to stir up the wind with an angry look.

- You're a nasty man. I'll kill you!

Immediately after that, a sheer storm of energy erupted from the Spirit's body began to strike Ian.

* * *

Ian was embarrassed.

No, I panicked beyond embarrassment.

"What is this crazy monster...?" ’

It was because the spirit of the storm rushing towards itself was much more powerful than expected.

Even compared to the Giant Raiders who met at Jesus' transcendental level 60-70 levels, Ian couldn't help but be embarrassed because it was not much of a battle force.

"Isn't that more powerful than Magby? ’

When I first ran into the Ancient Spirit.

Ian expected a combat strength roughly equal to that of Magby.

It is natural to think of it as the same intermediate Ancient Spirit.

But as soon as the battle started, I realized it wasn't.

Movement was once a movement, but the incoming damage had a different dimension.

- Critical damage from Medium Storm Spirit ‘Blestia’!

- HP reduced by 32,983.

Of course, it was not so powerful that Ian couldn't handle.

You can't steam it as easily as you would steam other spirits, since Ian was still the dominant fighter in 1: 1.

However, since I couldn't do everything for 'capture’, I couldn't help but get into a difficult battle.

‘More powerful than Magby, the same Ancient Spirit...' Can you do this? ’

Ian swings his spear calmly to shave off the life force of Blessia, but he never stops analyzing it.

And Ian, who was gathering all the information in his head, realized one thing.

It reminded me of the story of Yemuch, whom I had forgotten for a long time.

"Wait, I thought you said that the best Derivative Spirits were powerful enough to be compared to the Spirit King? ’

Evolution to the Spirit King is a privilege only for the Legion Spirits, but unlike the Legion Spirits for which all stats are set, there is potential for summoned spirits as well.

Some of the finest Derivative Spirits of great potential are even more powerful than the Spirit King.

‘Oh, to put it this way, it's not weird that a Derivative Spirit is more powerful than a Military Spirit at the same grade. ’

If the Supreme Derivative Spirit is powerful enough to be compared to the Spirit King, it is concluded that it is stronger than the Supreme Military Spirit.

Similarly, if you are an intermediate spirit with the same conditions, it is not impossible to understand that a derived spirit with high potential is more powerful than a Military Spirit.

All right, I'll be thankful! ’

After understanding all the things that were confusing in my head, Ian's motivation burned even more.

I am confident that this spirit in front of me will be more powerful than I thought.

And now that we've captured him successfully, the objective we set as we entered this dungeon is more than 99 percent complete.

‘Now that we've done that, shall we take out the beads of harmony? ’

However, Ian, who had been fighting for a long time, was embarrassed once again.

It reminded him of a truly remarkable message in front of Ian, who was trying to capture the beads of harmony.

- We can't capture it.

- Harmony Beads are not available.
