The demons were powerful.

But that didn't make Ian feel too burdened.

The spirits and priests in the temple were much weaker than the army of evil gods outside the temple.

Aaaaahhhh!

‘Well, if only they were on the level...'... they would have told us not to break any quests. ’

And Ian didn't know exactly, but there was definitely a reason.

When Ian first fought outside the Temple, there was a cult of the Sekaito on the battlefield.

That is why the armies of the gods were able to come down to the land of the demons, the intermediate line.

It was a cult run by the Sekhitos, but it was also available to the evil gods.

After all, the enemies Ian faced outside the temple, they were men of conviction.

But now that Ian has entered the temple, the Sephiro's religion has disappeared.

That's why the demons that Ian was dealing with were all beings that only possessed the threat of the middleman.

It is only natural that they are much weaker than the forces of evil gods.

- You have inflicted fatal damage to the ‘priests’ of the Icharis Shrine!

- Reduces the health of 'priests’ by 192,801.

- The priesthood is completely depleted.

Even the priest guarding the altar said, "Ian scratched his back head and muttered to himself."

Was it your first time? I feel like it's easier than the difficulty... ’

Of course, that doesn't mean Ian has done a very relaxing job.

At the last moment of slaughtering the priest, he was kicked under Ian's hidden jaw.

Life force was also falling to less than half.

‘If only I could summon El...'... I wish I could use Energy Magic. ’

However, the first mission that was completed without great risk to Ian, who had always played the quest for Infinite difficulty, was:

I just had to feel it easily.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the priests of the Icarus Shrine!

- Qualified!

- Last mission is a go!

Ian's dagger broke his chest, and the priest fell helplessly.

In Ian's eyes, new system messages burst into a golden light.

- Final Mission: Unseal the ‘Merchant' sealed in the Shrine.

- Timeout: 5 minutes

- When you complete your last mission, you inherit the bravery of the warrior Remus.

And after checking the message, Ian jumped to the shrine without delay.

Blame-!

Ian had already secured his position as a Mercenary before the battle with the priests.

‘I don't know how to break the seal...... but you'll find out once you go. ’

After all, the time limit of five minutes was absolutely short.

Ian hurried as fast as he could.

And the moment I stood at the top of the stairs in front of the Mercenary.

Ian was able to figure out how to break the seal without difficulty.

- Tyring!

Along with a familiar system tone, a line of messages came up.

-Put the Dragon Sword into the Seal Core to unlock the Dragon Spirit Seal.

Ian didn't know what the Great Sword was.

But as soon as I saw this message, I knew right away.

‘The Sword had dragon symbols engraved on it...'... This great sword of Remus must have been the Great Sword. ’

Ian calmly approached the front of the seal, pulling out the dragon sword that was on his back.

Then, after checking the floating boss in the air, he put a large sword into it.

Kwam! Kwam! Kwam!

The dark energies that wielded the wealthy Voyager in the air continued to swirl under the shadow of the Voyager.

He instinctively perceived that the black shadow was the nucleus of the seal.

Pussy-!

And Ian's expectations were exactly right.

- Dragon power breaks down evil spirits.

- The evil god Icharis' seal begins to crack.

- Current unseal rate: 0.75%

As Ian's sword dug into the shadow of darkness, the Black Energy slowly began to disperse.

- Current unsealing rate: 3.38%

- Current unseal rate: 3.77%

…… Snapshot……

But the smoother the mission, the more nervous Ian gets.

‘There must be something...' ’

At the rate he was able to unseal, I'd say enough would break the Vosges seal in two minutes.

The time limit has been more than five minutes.

The last of the three missions, unsealing, can't end this fresh.

Guwoong!

And read Ian's thoughts at least.

Ian's aura starts to overflow.

-Ecaris, master of the temple, is furious.

- The Lion of the Evil God, Ekaris, descends upon you.

Oops!

When the rate of unsealing reached 30%, the Shadows of the Shaman who appeared through the temple rushed towards Ian.

And after confirming it, Ian had to make a choice.

What do I do? Should I draw my sword? ’

As of now, this dragon sword was the only weapon that Ian possessed.

I didn't know if I could take on the Lions of Ekaris without this weapon.

However, Ian's concerns could not continue for long.

- How dare you insult Icarus!

- You arrogant middleman, your soul will perish!

Not only did the Lions of Ekaris reach the Seal in an instant, but we now had to draw their swords and confirm one thing.

‘If I pull out my sword, I'll see if I can reset the rate of unsealing...' I should check it out right now. ’

There was still more than four minutes left.

Time enough to restart the sword now, even if the disarm rate is reset.

Even if I wanted to determine if I could use a sword to stop the evil gods, I'd have to draw a sword now.

“Huff...! ”

Ian grabs the swordsman again and gives him strength, and the Great Sword pulls itself up out of the darkness.

Shhh!

And then the next moment.

- Tyring!

With Ian's two eyes checking for system messages that came to mind, he was a little young.

- You retrieved the Great Sword.

- The evil spirit's energy begins to fill the cracks in the Seal.

- Current unseal rate: 30.02%

- Current unseal rate: 29.75%

…… Snapshot……

As soon as I read the message, I could see what this system looked like.

‘If you stick the sword in, it will start to break the seal, and if you pull it out, it will increase the release rate again... …. ’

The rate at which the release rate was going down and the rate at which it was going up was almost the same for Ian.

And that means...

The shorter the time it takes to fight with the sword, the faster you can unlock it.

‘The Lion of Evil Gods...'... I'll crack his head open as soon as I can and put the sword back in the seal. ’

When Ian came to his senses, he faced the lions of evil.) left.

I needed to be more active to buy some time.

Cau-.

Ian is now skillfully adapted to Lemus' body and the dragon's sword, wielding his sword against the evil gods.

Kaga River -!

And Ian was an unknown fact.

There were three pairs of eyes that were interested in watching him struggle like that.

* * *

“It's been a long time, Drakish. ”

“What do you think, Drake? A friend who woke you up in 5,000 years. ”

A giant hole shaped like an octagon at the top of the Wise Man's Tower.

In the center of the hall was the orb of the sage, which was as big and transparent as a house.

Around it were three people sitting side by side.

A beautiful white-haired woman and a man in the enemy with a sharp look.

And they were the elderly ones with blue and white hair.

“Well, so far, so good. But don't get your hopes up. ”

“Why?”

“Hehe. Would that be up to you? ”

The three characters who each have a certain characteristic have only human appearance.

They were never ordinary ‘people’.

From the identity of the gray-haired elder, it was the dragon Drakisis who suffered for Ian.

The black-haired young man with a sharp impression is Ancient Monarch Lachianus.

Finally, the white silver-haired beauty was Arteron, the Spirit of Harmony King.

What they all had in common was the existence of 'refusal'.

At the same time, he was the master of this wise man's tower.

“I've been out of my mind for a long time. I feel like I'm part of this tower now. ”

“Hehe, right. Even if I were an inspiration, I think I might have already escaped. ”

“Haha. Now you may be, but the more you look forward to it. ”

“Is that an experience, Arterone? ”

“Hmmm… well, let's just say that. ”

The towers of three wise men guarding the path of transcendence.

What the three people were observing through the babysitter was, of course, Ian's role.

Even though we live in the same Wise Man's Tower, it was Ian who gathered them together in the first place, wondering if we would encounter them once a year.

It was very rare for a middleman to set foot in the Wise Man's Tower.

There had never been an event as energizing as this for the three owners of the tower.

“Interesting, interesting.... ”

“Fortunately, we have enough friends to succeed in valor, Draki. ”

“I hope so, yes. ”

“Inspire not to expect. ”

“Of course, I don't expect that soul to overcome all suffering...... but I hope it doesn't slip away from the first. ”

“Hmm, 5,000 years of waiting is so futile? ”

“Well, let's just say for the same reason. ”

Ian struggles fiercely in the temple of the Evil God within the Sage.

He wields his sword with all his might to defeat the angels of God.

Ian frees the seal of the Dragonlord wrapped in darkness!

While the three top lords were watching him with different faces, at least one thing was certain.

The fact that they're all cheering for Ian in trouble.

And Drakish expression, which was the most dry-headed.

Ian is getting brighter each time he defeats the evil spirit lion by lion.

“We need to prepare for the second ordeal, Drake. ”

“Funny...! Fun! Let's get ready for the next ordeal, inspiration. ”

The moment the seventh evil spirit fell on Ian's sword.

Ian's succession of courage was almost certain.

“Days, I guess. With this level of power, you should be worthy to inherit the bravery of Amos. ”

A faint smile spread across Drakish's mouth that was hard to recognize.

And after a while.

Flash-!

Dan Drakisis, who brought his hands to Vosges, closed his eyes for a few moments.

- Softener...!

- I grant you the succession of valor.

It was then that the sharp voice of Drakisis resounded.

Whoo-hoo!

The sheer aura of light emanating from his hands begins to be drawn quickly towards the prudent peasant.
