Two giant horns soaring.
The red smoke of hell that rises in between.
The onset of a huge magic horse that appeared with a burst of salt all over the body began to resound as if the colosseum had erupted.
“Wow…! ”
“Awesome!”
“Crazy! You made it to class and you're good to be here! ”
“Khhh...! Baloch! I can't believe I'm seeing Baloch here! ”
Even for those of you who don't know much about horses, you've never seen anything like Baloch, the king of horses.
Every time I moved, I saw Baloch spurting more violently, and each of them was busy blowing up their amazement.
“I've seen it in cinematic films. I never thought I'd see it here. ”
“Yuck, Baloch sure hasn't seen much of it in a long time. ”
“When did you see Baloch? ”
“Do you really think I'm the same as you? ”
“ ……? ”
“I'm a ‘ranker’ who also attended the War of Magic Wars epi. ”
“Oh, right. You were in the war. ”
“Phew.”
“What a ranker. You fought as a porter. ”
“Shut up……. ”
But even in such a cheerful crowd, there were users who were curious faces.
They were actually top rankers who knew him well.
Ordinary users confirmed the appearance of a horse, and they were convinced it was just a foot lock, but the top rankers knew something was different from the beginning.
“Is that him? Is that him? ”
“Is Balock that big? ”
“No way. I would've caught hundreds of baloch. ”
“Right? My eyes aren't wrong, are they? ”
“That's no ordinary Baloch. ”
“Then…? ”
“I haven't seen it yet... but I'm guessing it's one of Balock's top subjects. ”
“If you're a parent, is there any evidence of the destruction Ian summoned before? ”
“Gnob. It's not the Rock of Destruction. It's not that big compared to regular Balock. ”
“I see.”
The massive Baloch summoned by Ljuchen boasted as much as the ordinary two sets of baloch combined.
And thanks to that enormous figure, there was a more dramatic picture unfolding on the battlefield.
Kung-Kung-Kung.
Baloch slowly approaches Ian, making a trembling footstep across the arena.
The size of Baloch was overwhelmingly large compared to the spirits summoned by Ian, and users began to focus on the battlefield with a more exciting look.
I wondered how the spirit wizard would deal with Baloch with those little spirits.
And in the hot interest, Baloch, who approached immediately in front of Ian, began to open his mouth slowly.
- Khhhhhhh...!
“ ……. ”
- Humans, I'll exterminate you!
* * *
As Ian looks at the huge shadow on his head, he falls into a deep slump.
‘Ljuchen...... I see you've successfully summoned the mythical rank of Baloch. ’
In fact, without the summoning and the Judgment Blade against Ljuchen,
It was almost a miracle, just surviving so far.
Overall understanding of physical and gaming beyond Ian's limitations.
And if it wasn't for the information about Ryukchen's unique abilities, it would have been an impossible performance.
Therefore, the appearance of this giant Baloch was not exaggerated by the fact that it was a singular number.
His combat strength was so strong that no one could compare it to the horses he had ever operated, and his appearance was enough to upset the balance of the battle he had barely managed.
But that didn't mean Ian had given up.
In the meantime, Ian began to roll his head calmly.
"Hehe, this is getting more interesting. ’
Even in this extreme crisis, Ian is smiling single-handedly!
Towards him, Ryukchen opened his mouth with a strange expression.
“Why are you smiling? ”
“Can't you even smile? ”
“Are you resigning...? ”
“No way. ”
“Then... you don't think you can still beat me, do you?" ”
“That's right."
“Hehe, you're an interesting friend to the end. ”
Ian did not wither at all from the appearance of the 'final stage’ which he had hidden, and Ryuchen also became more interesting.
Where the hell did this guy come from? ’
I was a little arrogant, but the Physical of the Spirit Wizard in front of me was never beneath me, and I had never imagined that such a ranker would exist except for Ian or Kai.
Ryukchen was enjoying the PVP itself, regardless of winning or losing.
“The experience will change your mind, my friend. ”
“Really?"
“His power... is beyond all imagination." ”
Ian once again admired Ryukchen's confident ambassador, sweeping through Baloch's body.
‘Khh, it's definitely a mythological grade. That's cool.'
But that didn't just impress Ian.
He was confronting Ryukchen's story and deliberately stalling.
It wasn't like you were casting magic to launch a surprise attack.
The only reason Ian bought time was to analyze Balock.
‘You're bluffing. Let's give him a good shot. ’
The giant baloch that appeared before me was the magic of the first completely seen species, even Ian, who knew all the dizzying horses.
At one time, Ian was working hard to create a mythological grade, so he guessed how he was made from clues that revealed Baloch's appearance.
‘Minimum of three. No, he's made of four-tier combo. ’
Magic craftsmanship is basically the ability to make two horses and create new ones.
However, the number of two was only the smallest unit, and in order to create a superior subject of higher grade, you have to experience the number of cases by combining three or more horsepowers.
Just like Ian tried to give birth to Kr.
That's how Ian knew.
‘As expected, Devil Dragon was the key. Baloche, Devil Dragon, and Behemoth... These three were definitely used for softness. ’
Various failures that were born then (?) was piled up in Ian's head, and he was able to compare his past memories with his footlocks, and infer information from the horses used as his material for more than 8.
And Ian, who knew exactly what the mechanism of masculinity was, only that data was able to provide astonishing information.
By guessing what materials were used for ductility, we were able to infer from what level of stake the foot in front of the eye was dispensed to what unique abilities it would have.
This was an inductive reasoning based on Ian's ‘Three Principles of Magical Manipulation' in numerous studies.
1. The total Combat Ability of a crafted horse is set based on the horse-drawn horse's ability to be the base.
2. The combat ability distribution of soft horses is set according to the ratio of the power distribution of wild horses into the first material.
3. The unique ability of the crafted water is inherited randomly from the unique ability of the upper tier among all the horses entered into the material, and the unique ability contained in the power stone is obtained preferentially when using the 'power stone’ as the material.
‘Yes, this...! I can flip the board enough. ’
After completing the analysis in such a short time, Ian began to move again.
Blame-!
As Ian's movement began, the Colosseum began to run again.
The Spirit Wizard is about to strike back!
- What the hell is he doing with that creepy Baloch?
- You don't have a choice, do you?
- Well, he's right. In order not to dedicate the winning points to Ryukchen anyway...... there's only a way to catch him.
Apart from Ian and Ljuchen, the other three gladiators were already clotting, but since the commentary had already begun, almost all spectators' gaze was focused on the duel of the two wizards.
And then the battle started again.
- Crazy...!
- Oh, my God!
The Colosseum once again began to soak with the astonishing resilience of the spectators.
* * *
If anyone had known Ian's plan, they would have thought it was a ridiculous gamble.
It was Ian's plan to win only when the data that Ian guessed was correct.
But Ian was incredibly confident about this plan.
And it was as sure as I could because he had done more magic than anyone else in Kailan.
‘Soul Eating...... I'm sure they'll use it. You have to aim for the timing. ’
Ian came up with a plan to overcome this situation. One unique ability to be the key.
It was the unique ability that Baloch would have.
Soul Eating
- Baloch emits a powerful magical force that temporarily encroaches on the souls of vulnerable subjects in range. Can be cast on target with less than 5% Health without pia distinction. The chance of successful erosion is determined by target and Baloch's ‘Intelligence’ stats. (Varrock's Intelligence/Target Intelligence * 100) %
For a duration, the target is moved by Balock's command and all attack abilities are enhanced by 30%. In addition, the state of ‘invincibility’ persists until Balock dies.
- Cooldown: 120 minutes
- Duration: 30 minutes
At a time when he had not yet fought Baloch, Ian could think of this spiritual retreat as a clue.
Ian had more than eight guesses of what he was going through to make that giant footlock, and he knew all about the inherent capabilities of those materials.
He was confident that "Soul Eating" would have entered the first unique power slot of Baloch.
‘There is no Tier unique ability higher than Soul Eating, so if you use the Talent Stone to insert other abilities, the Soul Eating will remain unconditional. ’
And this unique ability of soul-eating was the unique ability that Ian recognized more closely than anyone else.
The first unique ability of the so-called 'khr', who had been with him for a long time, was also soul eating.
That's why Ian knew exactly what this fatal flaw was.
I was confident that if I could use that weakness, I could turn this slanted plate upside down.
‘There is only one variable...... if Ryukchen doesn't want to use Soul Eating...... ’
In order for Ian's plan to succeed, Leukchen must provoke Ian to ‘spiritual loss’.
However, as you can see from the skill description, spiritual encroachment was not a useful skill in a one-on-one situation like this.
The fact that you can use Soul Eating on an opposing Pokémon means you've already left the opposing Pokémon penniless. This usually doesn't work very well on a one-on-one basis.
But the situation is a little special.
Even in a one-on-one situation, this fight was not over.
If Ljuchen could use a soulmate on Ian, he would be able to use Ian as his servant to dominate the battlefield more vigorously.
‘I don't want you to notice, I want you to get an angle on it deliberately. There's no way you won't eat your soul when you get the chance. ’
As a result, Ian was able to tolerate his life while fighting with all his might.
Boom!
Gaaaaaaa!
And unlike so far, Ian's life force began to decline, and the voices of the commentators began to increase.
- Ah, the Wizard of Lotus can't get over Lüchen after all!
- In front of Vallock's powerful destructive power, it's beginning to crumble!
And looking at Ian's life force, Ryukchen began to look increasingly cheerful.
“Hehehehe! Where did that defeat go?" ”
It seemed to him that Ian was really, really struggling and collapsing gradually.
So, is it going to be more than 10 minutes?
Ryukchen's eyes began to glow red.
‘Huh-huh, good. Just a little more...! ’
After confirming Ian's vitality had fallen below 10%, he began to relive the time for his soul to eat.
Baloch's breath then pierced Ian's one shoulder.
“Soul Loss……! ”
A knife-like order fell from Ryukchen's mouth.
Grrrrrrrrrrr!
From both hands of Baloch, a chain of dark blackness extends out toward Ian.
- What is that?
- The symbol of Baloch, the Soul Eating!
- Liu Chen...! You've been watching over the next few victories!
And as he watched the chain of darkness stretching out, Ryukchen's expression became overwhelming.
Since he used his spiritual appetite at an inevitable and perfect time, he is confident that everything went according to his plan.
Ryukchen, who bursts the furnace as he watches the darkness begin to twist Ian around!
“Kuhahaha!”
However, Ryukchen's smile could never last to the end.
“ ……! ”
At the moment of darkness, a white glow emanated from Ian's body.
- The elite gladiators of the Lotus guild trigger their unique abilities.
- The unique ability of Infernal Rock triggers a spiritual encroachment.
- Infernal Baloch consumes the soul of the Lotus Guild Elite Gladiator.
- The Lotus Guild Elite Gladiator has become invincible.
-As a result of the release effect, all status conditions in the Lotus Guild Elite Gladiator will be released.
- The "Soul Eating" status of the Lotus Guild Elite Gladiator will be released.
And as soon as he saw the messages in front of him, Ryuchen had to look ridiculous.
“What……? ”
Ian, who was "invincible" by the energy of Baloch, was suddenly smiling and raising his staff.
