Chapter 42

n“Big Guy, Ly, scatter to both sides!”

nThe Black Breath came out of the Chaos Drake’s mouth.

nIan quickly turned its back.

nKwang- Kwawkakwang-

nWith a large explosion, a few system messages appeared.

nHe defended himself using Bukbuk’s shell. Still, the Breath was spread wide and he received some

ndamage.

nAlthough Bukbuk blocked most of the damage, he lost more than 1

/3 of his Health.

n‘Bukbuk’s Health decreased by 500!?’

nBukbuk was using its Enlarging skill, so to receive 500 as damage wasn’t a large amount.

nHowever, Bukbuk had gotten 500 of damage despite its great Defense Force. It meant one proper

nblow would kill Ian immediately.

n‘If that thing was similar to Ghost Drakes, its Defense Force and Health must be weak…’

nIan gave orders to his pets.

nHe was going to do his best, whether he ended up being killed or not.

n“Big Guy, Ice Wave! Ly, use Frenzy and attack from behind!!”

nIan lunged at the Drake in the front to make it focus on himself.

n19%. Fatal blow probability increased by 23.5%. Inflict 97% additional damage when attacking weak

nspot.

nIan used all the skills he could and attacked the Drake.

nThen, it swung its massive tail.

nBam!!!

nBig Guy couldn’t avoid it in time. The tail hit Big Guy with a huge sound. It received great damage.

n“Huk-!”

nIan was surprised.

nThe Chaos Drake was even stronger than what he had expected.

n“This is crazy!! I know that’s a Lv. 70 boss monster, but this is way too much!’

nOne or two blows like that would kill Big Guy instantly.

n‘I must dismiss Big Guy!’

nThe Chaos Drake was massive, so it was a little slow compared to its power.

nIan and Ly had high Speed so they could avoid its attacks, but Big Guy was way too slow to avoid it.

nIf Big Guy were to die in one or two blows, it wouldn’t be of much help. Ian made a decision and

ndismissed Big Guy.

n“Big Guy, dismiss!”

nBig Guy turned into a white light and disappeared.

nWhile Ian was dismissing Big Guy, Ly bit the Chaos Drake’s shoulder.

nA fatal blow was inflicted when attacking a weak spot.

nLy had worked the most with Ian’s Aiming Weak Spots skill. It never missed the highlighted weak

nspots.

nLy’s Unique Ability, Bleeding, was activated.

nThat wasn’t the end.

nLy’s Frenzy skill had been activated, so its Attack Force increased additionally.

nLy’s Attack Force was maximized for a moment thanks to the enhancing skills and the fatal blow

nattack. It repeatedly attacked the Chaos Drake.

nThe Drake shrieked in a painful voice.

nKaaaoooo!!

nIt had received more than 5000 of damage in an instant, but it countered fiercely.

nHuuunng-!

nWith a heavy sound of the wind, the Drake swung its tail again. Ly managed to jump and avoid the

nattack.

nLy avoided the attack, but it hit the wall and rolled on the floor. The Drake saw this and moved to

nattack again.

n“Ly! Be careful!”

nHowever, it looked like Ly wouldn’t be able to avoid the attack this time. The Drake continuously

nattacked before Ly could even stand up.

nA proper blow of the Drake would destroy all of Ly’s Health.

nIan wouldn’t let that happen.

n“Twisting Space!!”

nIan yelled. The skill was activated as Ly and Ian changed places.

nIan put Bukbuk’s shell toward the Drake’s foot as it came to hit him.

nChaos’ Drake’s talons hit Bukbuk’s shell.

n‘Why is this dam Drake’s every attack a fatal blow!!’

nIan complained but, on the other hand, he was relieved to see that Bukbuk lost only 100 of its Health.

nBukbuk’s Defense Force was truly mighty.

n“Ly, bite it!!”

nWhile the Drake was focusing on Ian, Ly, which was behind the Drake now, lunged at its neck.

nIt was a fatal blow again, however, the Drake still looked fine. It probably had more than half of its

nHealth left.

nThen, the Drake’s tail came again.

nThis time, it was aimed at Ian.

nPak-!

nIan managed to turn his back on time and block the attack, but he was thrown to the wall because of

nthe strength. So, he had to roll on the floor.

nIan closed his eyes tight.

nThe Lv.70 Hero rank monster was truly powerful.

n‘Hu, I guess I cannot win this time. I didn’t want to die, but…’

nHe thought about the EP that would be lost with the Game Over and the 24-hour access limit penalty.

nAll the energy then drained out of his body.

n‘But I have to save Ly.’

nIan stretched out his hand to dismiss Ly.

nHe knew he could inflict a little more damage to the Drake, but he didn’t want to be reckless and lose

nmore.

nThen, something amazing happened.

nLy repeatedly bit Chaos Drake’s neck.

n“?!”

nIan had never seen any system message like that.

n‘Additional damage is given when attacking the injured part again! Why didn’t I know this till now?’

nActually, Ian couldn’t have known about it.

nThe additional damage wasn’t given by just attacking the same part again.

nThe system messages didn’t explain kindly, but that was an additional effect that was given only when

nthere was Bleeding, Ly’s Unique Ability.

nMeanwhile, the Drake had received massive damage. Therefore, it screamed in pain.

nKiaaaooo!!

nIts name finally started to blink slowly.

nIt meant the Drake’s Health had gone down below 50%.

nNevertheless, Ian sighed.

nIt meant he had drained only half of the Drake’s Health.

nHe and his pets had inflicted him great damage, but it still had about half of its Health left.

nIan thought rationally.

nHe didn’t have time to recover his Health with First Aid and his body would get too heavy if the battle

ncontinued for long. Then, he wouldn’t be able to avoid the Drake’s attacks.

n“Ly, you’ve done well. Dismiss!”

nIan dismissed his pet.

nHe had to minimize the losses.

nLy disappeared in a white light.

nNext, Ian ‘humbly’ accepted Game Over.

n‘Uh… 1 level down and I wouldn’t be able to log in for 24 hours…’

nIan thought about the death penalties over and over.

nTo him, the 24-hour access limit was worse.

nHe would be wasting 1 day of his First Finder of Dungeon effect.

nHowever, the moment Ian gave up-!

n-Ooh… you are impressive.

nThe old man, who had been watching the battle, waved his staff in the air.

nThe Chaos Drake, which was about to attack Ian, turned into a white light and dissolved.

nA few System messages came up.

nIan was dumbfounded.

n‘Cleared?’

nAt the same time, he nodded.

nThe Chaos Drake wasn’t put in the dungeon to be killed.

n‘Anyway, I got such a small amount of EP. Less than 200,000, even with the First Finder effects…’

nHe did level-up, but it wasn’t because clearing the dungeon gave him a lot of EP. Instead, it was

nbecause it was about time for him to level-up.

n‘That amount of EP was worth for about 50 Ghost Drakes.’

nIan relaxed. He then plopped down on the floor. The old man slowly came to him.

nHe looked very excited.

nHowever, Ian looked at him with blank eyes and muttered.

n“I am not great. I lost.”

nIan didn’t know what to think.

n‘What the…’

nTo Ian, it sounded like the old man was mocking him.

nBut whatever his thoughts were, the old man continued to talk.

nIan answered, “Jinsung… no, Ian.”

nThe old man stroked his beard.

nIan spoke bluntly.

n“A test?”

nThe old man, Orkley, nodded.

n“So?”

nIan was startled at the unexpected offer and an even more startling message appeared.

nHe wants you to take the path of the Dragon Tamer.
