The unexpected evolution of Agbi, the lesser spirit.

Of course, Agbi was filled with more than half of the spirit power from the very beginning because of the user of the nature marble, but the timing of evolution was just plain fast.

And thanks to him, Ian was going to be able to escape the crisis.

‘I don’t know the reason as to why, but that is something to think at a later time…’

As Agbi evolved into a medium spirit Magbi, Ian’s power became even more powerful.

Magbi’s combat power had been doubled almost twice, and at the same time, the fire spirit magic ‘Infernal Fire’ has been doubled.

But even so, it was unreasonable to consider that the new spirit would be able to beat the nasty robot.

If the situation was the same, then it was impossible at the beginning, then was now a situation that needed a worthwhile try?

It still was a daunting opponent, and just one thing could be said.

‘Magbi’s fire charge needs to be focused as much as possible.’

In the current situation, the best chance for Ian was to use the unique ability of Magbi, ‘Shield of Red Flame’ that could go against that powerful wide-area magic of the Caliclops.

Ian thought that he was going to need to change the strategy a bit for that to happen.

‘I should pay a bit more attention to the control of Agbi.’

Till now, the role of Magbi had been to assist Ian from the rear.

Whenever the arrows of the Infernal Fire was shot or at a critical strike, Magbi used its inherent ‘Devil’s Fire’ ability.

However, the current situation had to change a little.

Not just relying on the unique ability of the Devil Fire, which reproduced the spirit magic, it was now necessary to depend on Magbi as much as possible.

And in that way, it would speed up the charging time of the unique ability ‘Shield of Red Flame’.

“Magbi, move a little forward.”

“Let’s do it your way, master.”

And with the increase of age, the vocabulary too had increased.

Magbi’s fireball was much shorter than the range of his fire.

Because of that, he might be having to fight a bit closer to the enemy.

“Can you put as much damage as possible on my arrows?”

When Ian put the arrow on the weak spot of Caliclops, he used the ‘Weakness Capture’ skill.

Therefore, if Magbi hits the right point, almost all of the attacks will be critically hit.

Magbi nodded and replied in a confident tone,

“Of course, master. I’m excellent.”

“…”

Seeing the behavior of Magbi, Ian couldn’t help but shake his head.

And the battle was about to start from that point.

-I don’t know what you did but…

Caliclops, who raised his body with a wild look, roared loudly.

“The result won’t change!”

And the shadow of Caliclops moved towards Ian and Magbi.

* * *

The special feature of the spirit magic feature of ‘Infernal Fire’ which Na Ji-chan had been talking about earlier.

What was that?

“Keu, the timing was just perfect, exactly perfect.”

Na Ji-chan who was seated comfortably on the couch of the monitoring room was laughing and watching the screen.

The screen was displaying the battle scene of Ian.

“Even if he was Ian God, I wanted to see him fail at least once… you’re so lucky. No, he is just full of luck, right?”

Na Ji-chan mumbled to himself while snacking on the chips.

And the female office staff that was in there with him, asked him,

“Team leader, you can’t say that he is full of luck? No matter how I look, it doesn’t look like luck to me!”

Na Ji-chan shook his head and replied,

“Miss Kim, think about it a little more. I sure am a fan of Ian God, but not the kind of person who would distort the truth for feeling good about him.”

“Hm… no matter what I think, this feels like a distorted fan feeling…”

“Phew…”

Na Ji-chan couldn’t do anything but just sigh at her words, and asked Miss Kim, no Kim Ji yeon.

“You, when the planning of the ‘Infernal Fire’ was going on, you were under the team leader of Kim Yu hwan, right?”

“I did.”

“Then, the skill that Ian God is using, you need to know about it better than anyone.”

And Kim Ji yeon nodded with a very proud expression.

“Absolutely. That was my first skill planning.”

“…”

With a bit of mischief on his face, Na Ji-chan opened his mouth,

“Then, Miss Kim.”

“Yes, team leader.”

“What was the biggest advantage of that skill?”

“Obviously, the increase of the DPS based on the user’s skill was enormous.”

“And?”

“Hmm, and? Hm…”

Na Ji-chan was ready to answer after looking at the thoughtful expression of Kim Ji yeon.

“The biggest advantage of the skill was if the stacks could be placed correctly, then it could be continued again and again with the cooldown reset.”

“That was the advantage that I mentioned.”

“Noisy, listen first.”

“Tch.”

Even as Kim Ji yeon was pouting, Na Ji-chan continued to speak without giving a second thought about her.

“Kay, Miss Kim. What is the most common way for one to build up the spirit power in the spirit?”

“That is by using the spirit power to perform the spirit magic.”

“Right? Then think about it when someone uses the spirit magic as crazy as Ian does.”

“…!”

“I think that he is using five times more spirit magic in the same time where others would use it a single time, then wasn’t it natural for Agbi to have reached the spirit power limit?”

“That, that?”

“There is one more.”

“Hmm…?”

“If Miss Kim is able to think well about the matter… the ‘Infernal fire’ has a special feature on the spirit magic.”

Na Ji-chan threw a hint at Kim Ji yeon and smiled at her.

“Ah!”

And within a while, as she had remembered something, she stood up and clapped her hands.

“Kim Yu hwan added one last private option for it!”

“Yes, that one right there. All thanks to that, the fire spirit is already a medium.”

At the words of Na Ji-chan, Kim Ji yeon shook her head and mumbled under her breath,

“That is true. If such a perfect timing could be achieved, then it surely is probably because of tremendous luck then.”

Kim Ji yeon, who was trying to accept the fact about the luck, looked over at the monitoring screen that was being played.

She started to look at the video of Ian that was being played with admiration for him.

Surely, considering the private option, it was a definite 100 percent luck for Ian to have escaped the crisis.

At the very moment, the two people who were seeing the monitoring screen were thinking about the same thing.

‘If Kim Yue Hwan knows about this, he’ll probably die of feeling sick…’

Kim Yue Hwan had been on the planning team of the Kailan, since the development stage of the Kailan. He hated Ian extremely due to the ‘Overtime’ he got because of him.

To be precise, rather than the word ‘attraction’, the extreme level of hate was higher than anyone he had ever loved.

And if Kim Yue Hwan, now found out that Ian was taking the fruits of his well-planned options and skills, or if he finds out that his most disliked person was probably going to give him many more night shifts…

‘Maybe his blood pressure will rise and fall over.’

While Na Ji-chan and Kim Ji yeon were thinking this and that, the battle that was being displayed on the screen was coming to an end.

The boss monster ‘Caliclops’ still had a bit of vitality left, but it was impossible for him to get killed.

In the original scenario of the Spirit dimension, both Caliclops and Charlies weren’t supposed to be killed over there.

And seeing the battle come to an end, Na Ji-chan spoke with a low voice,

“Miss Kim…”

“Yes, Team leader.”

“Is there nothing coming to your mind while seeing that video?”

With a sigh, Kim responded,

“Just one thing. I’ll stop resting and get back to work.”

“Okay, Let’s stop watching this heartbreaking video and go up with the proposal.”

“Kmh…”

With a very sad conversation, the two of them stepped towards the door of the room.

And in the monitoring room, where no one was left, the huge explosion of the ‘hellfire’ surging could be heard at a very high speed.

Bang-!

The sound of the ‘hellfire’ activation.

The hidden option of the ‘Infernal Fire’ spirit magic, was no more hidden.

Each time the mark of ‘Hellfire’ exploded, the spirit power of the spirit was increased by 1 point.

* * *

Kwakwang-!

In succession, the mark of Hellfire kept on burning, as the explosive sounds caused by Magbi had intensified and filled the whole dungeon with the rumbling sound.

Through the explosion, the giant arms of the Caliclops could be seen.

Kwwrk-!

The arms of the Caliclops stretched with the intent to hit Ian.

However, Ian had slipped out of the range of the attack.

“Can’t let you do that.”

While Ian was pulling the aggro, Magbi hurriedly went to the back of the Caliclops and threw the flame balls in a row.

Pop-!

And as the flame balls burst on the enemy, system messages started to come up for Ian.

Tring-!

Fire spirit ‘Magbi’ has done fatal damage to the monster Caliclops!

Magbi’s charge of the ‘Flame Bead’. (Current charge: 98.75

/ 100)

Fire spirit ‘Magbi’ has done fatal damage to the monster Caliclops!

Magbi’s charge of the ‘Flame Bead’. (Current charge: 99.95

/ 100)

The charge of the Flame Bead has been completed.

The unique ability of the ‘Shield of Red Flame’ has been activated.

The battle pattern of Ian at the moment, the unique ability of the Shield of Red Flame, was like insurance.

When the Shield of Red Flame got activated, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a single life could be saved.

Therefore, the message which stated that the charge of the Red Flame was done, made the play of Ian to a much more daring one.

‘There is still about 2 minutes time until that guy summons that seal. I need to do everything that I can in this meantime.’

After calculating it thoroughly, Ian jumped into the air.

Till the moment, Ian had been attracting the aggro and Magbi had been the one to attack, but that plan wasn’t necessary any longer.

As long as the Shield of Red Flame was active, the most important thing was to raise the DPS.

Swooah-!

All of a sudden, with the summon of the Infernal Fire longbow into his hand, fire arrows started to burst.

And Ian’s eyes naturally went towards the corner of the Caliclops.

To check the remaining vitality that was left.

‘Uh, stubborn guy.’

Shaking of the vitality which had seen of the Caliclops, Ian decided to get his head in the game.

It had been two to three hours since the battle had begun, and only now, the vitality of his started to shine.

No matter how strong of a guy he was, Ian began to think that he wasn’t an A difficulty level boss.

And if the target wasn’t going to drop nice and good rewards, Ian would probably be bursting up in flames.

“Hmmph!”

With a single huge breath, Ian shot another arrow.

With the insurance of the ‘Shield of Red Flame’ in his hands, the most important thing for Ian to do was to get the vitality out the target.

However, Ian who had been working so hard till then had no other option but to stop.

“…!”

The same effect which had been witnessed from Caliclops an hour back was happening again.

‘What, is he going to do that changing stuff once again?’

The arrows shot by Ian suddenly got blocked once again by unknown energy.

However, within a second, the ugly creepy voice of Charlies entered the ears of Ian.

“Cheeky human… I am glad that I am not here.”

At the unexpected dialogue for Charlies, Ian asked him,

“What is that supposed to mean?”

And Charlies spoke once again,

“If he had just a little more spirit power, he could have killed you and your guy.”

When Charlies was done talking, Ian was still trying to understand what he was trying to convey.

“Surely the lab has gone to waste, and I need to leave this place.”

Charlies, no Caliclops who had been speaking the words of Charlies, made fists and threw them to the floor.

Thud-!

The very next moment, a complex magic circle began to form and Caliclops was stepping in.

Woong-!

And during that course of the scene, Ian wasn’t able to do anything.

It had been a long time since he was controlled by the AI, so Ian’s body didn’t move on his will.

Kukung-!

The dungeon kept resonating, and the magic circle began to shine with much more radiance.

And after a moment.

Swosh-!

The brightness from the magic circle had swallowed the huge figure of the Caliclops.

In front of Ian had come the system messages.

Tring-!

‘Magic Circle of Charlies’ has been triggered.

All the machines in the mechanical civilization have stopped working.

You have met the clearing condition for the quest ‘Contaminated mine in the Spirit Mountain (Epic) (Hidden)’.

You have successfully completed the quest ‘Charlies Laboratory (Sudden) (Hidden)’.

In the place where the huge light had disappeared, they were huge machines.
