“See, I'm the team leader. ”

“ ……. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“What……? ”

“This is the third gate. ”

“I've heard of it. ”

“At Gate Three, the ‘Lucharose of Rock Salt’ was captured. ”

“I see.”

“The boss had two left, and Ian had seven more chances. ”

“ ……. ”

Nam Ji-chan and Kim Eui-hwan sit quietly in the corner of the monitoring room and chat in secret.

The conversation between the two was exhausting, but not as serious as the expression.

On the screen before their eyes, the content that they created over the course of a few days and nights was very beautiful (?) were being destroyed.

However, Kim's expression was a little different, while he had a lot of urgency and anxiety.

The same was true of his serious expression, but he seemed calm apart from it.

‘After all, Ian was the first to discover the land of lava. ’

In fact, Najchan was not very surprised when he first came to the monitoring room.

This situation that unfolded before my eyes was already foreseen last month.

‘In fact, when Ian acquired the Ancient Spirit of Fire, it was something to be expected. ’

However, the point at which the lava soil was discovered itself was much quicker than Nazi had expected.

No matter how quickly Ian raised the Ancient Fire Spirit to a higher spirit, he could not have anticipated it.

Najchan, who swallowed dry saliva once, opened his mouth to Kim.

“Do you remember, sir? ”

“What?”

“When I was planning that last winter, I wanted to make it more difficult. ”

“ ……. ”

“And you're the team leader who lowered both the Berserker and Lucas difficulties because the golem is too difficult. ”

At Nazi Chan's words, Kim Hye-hwan was obliged to become mute after a moment of honey.

It reminded me of the past I had been trying to forget.

“Let's not talk about the past.... ”

When Najchan saw Kim's cold sweating vision, he sighed and opened his mouth again.

“Well, don't worry. I'm not talking about the past either. ”

“Then?”

“Instead of lowering the difficulties of bosses 2 and 3, I also put up a lot of difficulties for bosses 4 and 5. ”

“ ……! ”

After hearing Najchan's words, Kim almost woke up on his feet.

A fox I didn't expect (?).

It was Kim Ui-hwan who had never imagined that he would be so fortunate to have handed over the finalisation to the three teams.

“When did you ever do such a great thing? ”

“Don't you remember that time? I said it was too easy for you, boss two and three, and you said it was too easy for you to raise boss four and five. ”

“Oh, I think so... ”

“The fourth and fifth parts were hard enough for the users to get anyway, and you gave me the authority to design whatever they wanted. ”

“Hmm……. I'm sure you remember that. I'd like to put a compliment sticker on me from the past. ”

“Why do you praise your former team leader? You should compliment me. ”

“Heh heh heh. That's what I'm talking about. A horse.”

And Kim, who was brightened by Najchan's story, buried himself on the couch with a happy face again.

Then, towards Najchan, I asked the question I wanted to ask.

“Then I'm the team leader. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

“What are the chances Ian kills Madosa of the Heart and even Rava Dragon...?" ”

Kim, who asked the question, became slightly nervous again and waited for Najchan's answer.

And as soon as I heard Najchan's answer, I had to look down again.

His answer was, it wasn't what I expected.

“Maybe Ian has a 99 percent chance of catching the lava dragon. ”

“Ah, you said you made it difficult! ”

“Well, you might not make it to the same queue as bosses 2 and 3, but you're running out of challenges. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim's face became brighter and darker, turning into a visual perspective according to Najchan's story.

Towards him, Najchan told me one last hopeful story.

“But don't worry too much, boss. ”

“Hmm?"

“If Ian catches the Rava Dragon and challenges remain, there won't be any sadness in getting out of Bergra or planning. ”

“Oh, right...? ”

Najchan, who took a few moments, said slowly again.

“As soon as I challenge him one more time for the remaining challenges, Ian will probably taste hell. ”

* * *

Meanwhile, when the planning team gathered in the monitoring room,

Ian and Remir have been relentlessly challenging the fourth gate.

The helmet was the fourth piece of equipment chosen by the two.

From the most efficient equipment that could be used together, I naturally chose a helmet.

And from the beginning of the gate, the two of them could feel something different.

- You have entered the Gateway of the Red Gate.

- Gateway Breach Timeout: 1500 sec.

- From now on, all fire attribute damage is dealt an additional 20 percent. (Each minute that passes, extra damage is increased by 5 percent.)

-From now on, the power of all fire attribute attacks is increased by 30 percent.

- Destroy the Red Spire at the end of the Gateway to clear the Gateway.

-If you fall from the Gateway, you will never challenge the Gateway again.

- If you go through the Gateway, you'll get Lava Hair Ornament.

“Hmm, you've got 25 minutes this time, too? ”

“What is it? It looks like the flame deal is getting stronger……. ”

“Something doesn't feel right. ”

Ian and Lemir look nervous and begin to move forward, looking carefully at the dungeon.

The interior of the dungeon, according to the name 'Red Gate', consisted of red clouds, and the identity of those clouds was a coalescence of hot lava water vapor.

“Oh, this is virtual reality. How can you make it so hot? Maybe it's cooked in the capsule? ”

“Don't be ridiculous. Catch the Liquids, Ian. ”

“Okay, sis. ”

Ian and Lemir move quickly to the depths of the gate, keeping pace with their breathing.

The Gateway landscape became worse, and the level of transcendence of the emerging monsters increased by an average of five levels, but the pace of two people's advancement felt even faster.

Wearing lava equipment for three parts, their specs went up a lot.

In particular, the power of all flame attacks utilizing Magbi was almost doubled for Ian, a four-part wearer of shoes.

-2Set Effect

+10% performance on all Lava Zone equipment (not applicable for add-on options.)

-3Set Effect

Increases the power of all fire attribute attacks by an additional 20 percent.

Invalidate all fire attribute damage by an additional 20 percent.

-4Set Effect

Increases the power of all fire attribute attacks by an additional 30%.

Invalidate all fire attribute damage by an additional 30 percent.

‘I'm guessing that fire damage reduction is over 90 percent now, so I won't even bother to attack the raging flames. ’

All damage reduction options, however, exceeding 90 percent, will begin to exponentially reduce the amount of body damage with each increase.

When the damage reduction was 90 percent and 95 percent, the number itself was only 5 percent, but in fact, the amount of damage the victim suffered was reduced by half.

Ian's flame, which was about to burst into flames, was strong enough to send a couple of crazy sponges or squeezes to the goal.

“Let's get through it, sis. We need to save as much time as we can because we don't know who the boss is. ”

“Of course! ”

Received an additional 20 percent of all fire attribute attack buffs due to the three-set effect, Lemir was experiencing fire magic as a god.

It was not as common as watching the mob that didn't die in one blow melt away.

And the two men who stepped on the hot clouds were able to reach the boss room with the gateway boss in less than five minutes.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

A red cloud that begins to fly into the air with a big resonance, burning them as if they were greeting them when they arrived.

“Uh, uh-uh...! ”

And the clouds that burned them flew like fireflies over a giant spire and set them down.

Then a sharp voice flows into the ears of two people.

- Welcome to the Tower of Hearts.

And around where the two men sat, huge pillars of fire began to rise from the floor.

* * *

The fourth gatekeeper and Lava Guardian, Madosa of the Heart.

In conclusion, he was an incredibly difficult boss unlike any other.

Despite all the powerful flame magic, he was equipped with the most lethal flame resistance debuff in the land of lava by default.

A vicious debuff magic designed to make evasion impossible, named 'Lava Curse.’

Moreover, Madosa of the Salt Soul practiced the most powerful flame magic that she had shortly after this debuff magic was triggered, and in fact, it was almost a singular phase.

50 percent fire-resistance, and then you put a magic fire spell on nine circles called the Incendiary of Chlorine.

After all, it was impossible to avoid it in the first place, and it was a phase that would melt instantly, even if it was about the top tanker in the Knights ranking, not Ian.

But Ian was' Ian ’, not the top of the Knights ranking, so he could respond directly to this brutal boss pattern.

When he saw the flames blazing in Madosa's hands, he summoned "Nick," and then he triggered the "Sun God's Blessing" at the point when the fires started.

And with each of these hard-core boss patterns, Ian and Lemir alternated bases, and the two of them eventually managed to defeat even the fourth Lava Guardian.

- Oh my, my fire...!

- Tyring!

- You destroyed the enemy Spire!

- You have successfully breached the Enemy Gateway!

…… approximate……

- You won the 'Lava's Head Ornament (Legendary) (Superior)’ item.

- The conditions are met.

- Proceed to Gate Waiting Room.

After finishing off Madosa at the fourth Gateway Keeper's Heart with four challenges, Ian and Remir secured the lava equipment parts in four places.

“Yes!”

“Phew, it was really dangerous this time. ”

The fifth piece of equipment selected by the two finished repairs was lava armor as planned.

If you get five parts to the armor, you both get up to five sets of effects, and then you have a plan to challenge each other to the equipment you need.

Whoo-hoo!

- You have entered the Lava Maze Gateway.

- Gateway Breach Timeout: 2,000 sec.

…… Snapshot……

And they met a giant dragon covered in lava at the end of a maze of flames that seemed to support their whole body.
