Slim and sleek.
Every step of the way, beautiful goblet muscles flow through the surface of your mouth.
even the faint silvery leather and the intricate purple stripes that cover it.
At the moment he appeared with a large water column in the fountain of life, Ian was confident without hesitation for a second.
‘This is it...! ’
That this guardian of life that appeared to me was the one that Ian had been looking for.
- He's got thinner, longer crooked teeth than the rest of them, so you'd recognize him if you saw him.
After rethinking Kaisar's story, Ian frowns and rolls his mouth.
‘Even a sharply curved molar.... I'm pretty sure that's what Caesar said. ’
The description of Kaisar's appearance is rather concise (?) I had a hunch, but I was talking about the most obvious trait he had, and Ian's eyes were filled with anticipation before he even caught on.
‘Khh, the appearance is excellent, and the satisfaction will be great if you ride in the village. ’
Ian, who had so much anticipation, gradually approached him.
At the next moment, Ian was a little embarrassed.
“ ……! ”
The system box that was floating above his head caught my eye....
- Guardian of Life??? (Lv. 78)
It was because I had not thought of what it contained.
Level 78? ’
So far Ian has been beaten with excitement, the guardians of fan life were all transcendent levels 58.
So, of course, Ian thought that he would be on the same or similar level.
‘I can't believe you're level 20...' If this guy chose an attack, not a getaway, Caesar and Helheim would have had kids, too. ’
Ian clears his contemptible mind and starts approaching him more carefully.
78 is difficult to catch a few days ago (?), but it was still a much lower level than Ian himself.
Moreover, now that most of the summoners had been sent to the fountain of other lives, Ian had to fight him with the spirits alone, without summoning or leaving.
It is a situation where we have to do everything we can.
Yuck.
As Ian pulls the bow slowly, a small friction sound echoes through the silence.
Ian then aims for the guardian's glare, placing a bow in a calm motion.
Peeing, bitch!
An arrow that flies away from Ian's hand, drawing a parabola, and quickly flies towards the Guardian.
Ian's gaze was fixed on the arrow that left the protest, leading to the location of the Guardian of Life.
But that's when.
- Heheheh heh heh!
Whether it reacted to a sharp corrosion, it suddenly took off into the air, twisting its waist.
Blame-!
And when Ian saw that, he was embarrassed for a moment.
“Oh!”
If he wanted to avoid the arrow, he should have jumped to the oblique line, but instead, he leaped towards the direction where the arrow was flying.
At this rate, the guardian's glare will be pierced by Ian's arrows.
However, for some reason, Ian was able to feel a chill momentarily.
If it were normal, he would have predicted the situation after getting hit by an arrow and immediately pulled the bow again, but instinctively he felt something strange.
‘This can't be...! ’
Ian believed in his instincts, and instead of pulling the bow, he immediately twisted his waist and flew diagonally.
Blame-!
And the next moment, Ian was able to see with his own eyes the identity of the sinister thing he had just felt.
The guardian of life, who had just leapt into the air, appeared right next to Ian and was revealing a sharp molar.
- Kahaha-!
Of course, Ian was able to avoid his teeth, but he had no choice but to let the cold sweat flow separately from it.
"Crazy, it was dangerous! ’
The lava set also enhanced Ian's defense strength more than ever before, but that did not make it a heavily armored knight-class defense.
He was a high-level Epic Monster close to level 80, and a predator with a special feeling of assassination, no matter how rough he looked.
I don't know, but if I'd just been bitten by him defenseless, I'd probably have suffered massive fatalities.
‘If I hadn't listened to Caesar beforehand, no matter how I was just now, I would have been beaten. ’
Ian, who swapped his weapon with his spear quickly, calmly wiped off the cold sweat that was running down his forehead and confronted him.
For a creature who quickly ignores space and moves around, his long-range weapon, the bow, was not as good as his imagination.
It was not easy for Ian to aim an arrow at the one that disappears from his seat.
- Rrrrrrrrrrrrr.
He was surprised to have dodged his attack, and stared at Ian with caution.
‘I almost sprinkled ash all over my rice. ’
If I had just died here in the ambush, I would have blown up Nogada in the last two days.
For Ian, it was a very heartbreaking situation.
“Gasoline.”
So how is it possible that this attack just happened?
And how would Ian predict and instinctively deal with this anomaly?
The answer was in the "unique ability" of the guardian of this life, which Ian had heard from Caesar.
He switched places with "Magvern" next to Ian to avoid Ian's arrows, which allowed him to make an unusual attack from Ian's rear.
“The more I look at him, the more I covet him. ”
Ian, who had a more interesting look, praised the growling one.
Once he shows up, no matter how hard he tries, he must be caught.
But to catch him, one problem had to be solved.
‘The problem is that when he bounced to another spot...... ’
Due to his level of surpassing expectations.
Minor that the people guarding the other spots won't be able to cope with him.) we have a problem.
“Well, that doesn't mean there's no other way. ”
Ian smiles, thinking of something. He hurls his spear at the guardian of life.
I felt like I had to do some more unexpected difficulties because of the unexpected variables, but the fruit I got after the difficulty was sweeter.
* * *
So far, by taking down the guardians of life, Ian had learned about three rules:
First, the lower the percentage of the Guardian's health, the greater the chance of escaping.
Second, the more enemies that attack the Guardians, the more likely he is to try to escape.
Third, the higher the level of the user attacking the Guardian, the more likely the Guardian is to flee.
When dealing with the Guardian so far, Ian has tried his best to avoid these three rules.
After all, we needed to capture or kill him before he escaped so we could quickly meet the next one, so we took care to reduce our chances of getting away.
But things are different now.
It will be very difficult to deal with him in spots other than Ian's because his combat strength is much stronger than expected at the moment, so we have to cut his life force down and make him run away immediately.
No matter how high and powerful the creature was, he would always try to flee with less than 10% of his life remaining. If he made his life force to the ground, even if he escaped with the spots guarded by Vanessa or Sarah, he would be able to get rid of him immediately.
Of course, to cut his life to the ground, it was true that a small ball was inserted.
There's only one way.
Whenever he runs away, Ian chases him to that spot and relentlessly cuts off his life force.
- Where did he go?
- This way, Ian!
- I'm stalling as long as I can. I'll be right there!
It was not easy to shed a lot of life at once, so Ian had to sweat and sweat.
- Ian: Just a little more.
- All right!
But in the meantime, there was a good thing that Ian's summoner was able to cover him comfortably when he moved to the spot he was guarding.
‘The life force of Rye seems to be wearing off, so this time it's moving to the northern spot. ’
“Space Distortion! ”
Thanks to the spatial distortion, we were able to change the location of the summoner and catch up with him immediately.
“Khh, Khh? (How the hell did you follow me?)
And after persevering all day long, Ian was finally able to push him to the edge of the cliff.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! (Go away, you devil!)
“Why don't you stop being caught, my friend? ”
- Hehehe! I said no!)
The life force of a guardian that fell to the ground, causing the gauge bar to appear completely black.
Despite this, he refused to capture and fled several times, but Ian had a relaxed expression.
After all, he was supposed to run away for a minute and wait until he came back to Ian.
- Rrrrgh!)
“Capture!”
- Grrr!)
“Capture!
-Cruuer...! (This is hell...!)
“Capture!”
And poor.) The Guardian of Life couldn't hold on for more than an hour and ended up on Ian's horse.
- You have captured the Spirit Master (Protector of Life), Charta!
- By capturing the ‘Charta’ summon, conditions are met.
- Earns the title ‘Muscle Tamer Ⅱ (Legendary) (Transcendent)’.
- You have tasted the summons of the ‘Legendary’ Rank!
- +15 ‘Leadership' stats.
- Increases‘ Amity ’stats by an extra 10.
- Increases Spirit Magical Power by an additional 0.5 percent.
- Increases‘ Summon Magical Power ’by an additional 0.5 percent.
…… Snapshot……
In front of Ian's tenacity, who did not give up until then, there was no way to survive even if the summons were optimized for running away.
However, Ian had to check the system message slightly.
I had hoped to be a mythical rank, but it was a legendary summoning like any other guardian.
The only thing that comforted me was that he was an evolvable object.
I don't know what the evolutionary conditions are, but one day we will. ’
Ian, who opened the ‘Charta’ information window with an anticipated look, quickly began to sweep down from his unique abilities.
The reason I wanted to catch him from the start was because he had unique abilities, so I wanted to check the specific abilities before the combat strength.
But wait a minute.
Ian, who was just about to read his own abilities, had to turn off the system window in a frenzy.
Fluffy.
I made sure there was no one around, but a strange woman suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Excuse me, sir. ”
