Taming Master-Chapter 521 - New Content, Spirit Spell 1
Chapter 521: New Content, Spirit Spell 1
After looting the Bloody Revenge from Limlong, Ian had set the Bloody Revenge as his default weapon.
The Bloody Revenge wasn’t as great as the Judgement of Spirit King.
But Ian had the Summoner Knight’s unique ability Vitality Weapon.
The Vitality Weapon, a unique ability that gave vitality and life to an Ego Weapon only.
If such a unique ability was used, even if he didn’t have the Judgement of Spirit King in his hand, he would be able to use it.
But the current situation was a bit different.
In a situation where all the skills and item abilities were sealed, it was right to use his most powerful weapon—the Judgement of Spirit King.
“Vanessa, get out of the left side!”
“Ian, please cover the Salamander!”
Moving in the dim dungeon, only the voice of Sarah could be heard, without pause.
Ian just played along and acted according to the orders of Sarah.
Kang- Kakang-!
Normally, Sarah had the position of ‘order’ in her grasp as she was very good at identifying the battlefield and placing the right orders.
‘Surely a…’
However, that didn’t mean that the orders Sarah was giving were perfectly fine for Ian.
Her orders surely were excellent, but there was a difference in their combat styles.
‘I feel like taking over the order right away…’
Staring at Sarah, Ian made a leap towards the Salamander for covering it.
What had to be done before taking over the order was to show his skills.
After the two sisters recognized the skills of Ian, they must give up on the order so that he could paint a perfect picture.
Tat-!
Ian, who landed by squatting on the floor, looked at the spirits that were surrounding the Salamander.
Gnomes that were similar to Silpid of the earth were the ones surrounding the Salamander.
Gnomes had the same form as dwarfs and were made of mud. They were slower and much duller than Silpids but had higher defense and vitality.
‘I can’t use a strategy of one shot to take them down like the time I deal with the Silpid.’
The strategy of using all the skills at once had a major flaw.
Once all the skills were used, a state of Burn Out will occur.
It was a fine situation if the enemy could be killed in one shot, but otherwise, they were all in danger.
With the doubled tanking ability of the Silpids, the gnomes were impossible to destroy in one shot, no matter how perfectly the skills were linked.
There was something more.
‘This is the major problem.’
These gnomes were born with tanking abilities.
*Reliable Friend (Passive Unique Ability)
Earth spirit Gnome is a strong and reliable spirit friend.
The more friends you have for defending, the stronger the Gnomes become.
All allies within 3 meters increase the defense of Gnome by 10% and vitality regeneration by 15%.
Each time allies within 3 meters are attacked, the damage of Gnome is increased by 3% and the attack speed is increased by 1.5% (up to 100 stacks).
When an allied spirit dies, all the vitality of Gnome would be restored.
The easiest and the most powerful skill that could be used by Ian and his party was the Silp ‘Twister’ and the salamander’s ‘Small Flame’.
A strategy that inflicted damage by gathering enemies close together with the gust of wind and then throwing a small flame.
But the unique ability of Gnome, ‘Reliable Friend’ was a perfect counter for the skill linkage.
‘For the gnomes to turn into a monster… is it an error to use the twister?’
Ian’s party had to face a total of 12 Gnomes.
If he could gather them all with the Twister, it was like getting a nasty buff with an increase of armor by 120 percent and vitality recovery by 180.
‘Maybe the small fire damage… won’t even touch it.’
It would be faster to recover if he could continue to blow flames using the cooldown reset.
That wasn’t the end.
‘If we kept on attacking, we’ll get a dealer class damage from a tanker.’
Inflicting flame damage on a group of 12 Gnomes simultaneously increases the damage of all Gnomes by 30% and their attack speed by 15%.
If attacked a couple of times, they would have to encounter a gnome with nearly twice the attack power in a flash.
Hweee-!
Ian, who jumped back to the air to avoid getting hit, spoke in a small voice.
“Attack it in once and then retreat.”
To the hard guys like the Gnomes with such unique abilities, what was the easiest way to deal with them?
The methodology was actually very simple.
It could be done after the disabling of the unique ability ‘Reliable Friend’.
Isolate them one after the other, then concentrate all the projectiles on the one that had to be removed.
However, it wasn’t so easy to execute, at least not as simple as running away.
“Vanessa, with the help of Ian keep them away!”
“Okay, Unnie!”
“Pillar of Earth!”
Kung- Kukung-!
One of the twelve gnomes was barely pulled out, but it wasn’t easy to prevent the other gnomes trying to get close to it.
The vitality of the gnome was cut in half, but when the other gnomes began to get close, then an obviously difficult situation would come.
“Uh, I lack firepower!”
“Can’t be done. Ian, come over to this side and deal damage! That guy needs to be taken down before he approaches the others!”
The closer the gnomes were getting, the more nervous the twins were starting to get.
Ian was being called from the most outermost position to stop the approach of gnomes; he had to put in a deal.
However, Ian didn’t follow the orders of Sarah for the first time.
Tat-!
Ian took the Silp that he brought along with him and pushed the gnome further into the battlefield.
The two sisters couldn’t help but feel shocked at what they were seeing.
“Ian, where are you going?”
“Didn’t you hear the order?”
However, Ian was busy scanning the coordinates instead of answering the question.
It was definite that it was quicker to show them with actions rather than words.
‘The range of twister is 5 meters. I moved around six steps now…’
The passage to the gate was a narrow and long structure.
The width of the passage was somewhat between 5 meters.
Kakang-!
Ian wielded his spear and hurt an approaching gnome.
“Silp, Twister!”
Sarah and Vanessa who listened to the orders of Ian were getting tenser.
“Ian, are you crazy?”
“What use will it be if you use the twister against them?”
Sarah and Vanessa fully understood the unique powers of the Gnomes.
Because of that, even the ‘twister’ brought about by the spirit came to their thoughts.
But it was all for a while.
“…!”
“What the…?”
It didn’t take long for the twins to understand what the intentions of Ian were.
Wheeeing-!
The twister was summoned far away and began to suck away the gnomes and only sparing one.
Sarah who realized what was happening couldn’t help but feel creeped out.
‘Is that even possible? That’s so dope.’
A dark and misty pathway.
The range calculations of Ian were ridiculously accurate in the narrow map, which was very difficult to locate for everyone.
In fact, the idea of using the twister to reverse the movements of the gnomes was ingenious but not unthinkable.
But in the midst of all these calculations, doing a distance calculation of five meters and then putting it into practice…
‘How is such a user not known yet?’
In theory, was put to play.
“Don’t stay dumb and hit it!”
At the sudden voice of Ian from afar, Sarah regained her thoughts.
She just saw Ian deal with the gnomes at an unconditional time.
Piping-!
Salamander’s flame and the magic circle of Sarah fired and quickly burned the vitality of the gnome.
[Party member ‘Sarah’ has done devastating damage to the Earth Spirit ‘Gnome’!]
[The vitality of Gnome has been reduced by 275!]
[Vanessa’s spirit ‘Salamander’ inflicted devastating damage on the Earth Spirt ‘Gnome’!]
[The vitality of Gnome has been reduced by 301!]
The vitality of Gnome fell from 40 percent to 10 percent in an instant.
The attacks were being alternated to prevent the other gnomes from coming together, so stable damage-dealing was possible.
‘The Twister lasts for 10 seconds. This guy can be cut out.’
Sarah’s gaze moved toward Ian once again.
She was forced to wonder what Ian was doing for the duration of the Twister.
Sarah, who saw Ian opened her mouth without realizing.
Pupuck-!
Ian and Silp were taking care of the gnome that was in the twister.
“That… that…!”
Unsatisfied with cutting off one gnome, Ian blocked the other gnome that was outside.
[Party Member ‘Ian’ has done critical damage on Earth Spirit ‘Gnome’!]
[Vitality of Gnome has been reduced by 359!]
[Vitality of Gnome has been reduced by 331!]
Ian snuck into the gust of wind and wielded his spear.
Ian’s Silp shot a gust of wind while it was on his shoulder.
The gnome was struggling to avoid the two, but Ian wasn’t so willing.
Because of that, the Gnome that was pulling the force of the twister began to get pushed out.
Surprisingly, the vitality of the gnome was being cut down!
If he had a stack of buffs when the gnomes gathered, it wouldn’t have been possible to cause such damage.
‘That means that he is out of the range of the buff?’
It was possible because Ian used the difference between the ‘Twister’ and ‘Reliable Friend’.
Since the range of the twister was just two meters wider than the range of ‘Reliable Friend’, the gnome that was pushed by Ian came out of the buff range.
Sarah, who understood the situation, shouted while spreading out her wand, “Pillar of Earth!”
Sarah summoned the two remaining pillars one after the other…
Kung- kukung-!
Knocked down by the pillar, the gnome was pushed out of the range.
In the meantime, Vanessa cleaned up the first gnome.
Tring-!
[You have successfully defeated the Earth Spirit ‘Gnome’!]
[Transcendence experience of 13 has been acquired.]
The gnome that Ian was attacking was going to die soon as well.
“Silp, let’s finish it!”
Sllr-!
The gust of wind could reduce an enemies’ defense, and since it was also paired with Twister—a wind attribute skill—the Gnome would surely be devastated since wind attributes were strong against land attributes.
Puping-!
[You have successfully defeated the Earth Spirit Gnome!]
[Transcendence Experience increased by 14.]
The gnome which was hard to grasp was soon defeated by Ian.
By this time, not just Sarah but Vanessa too had realized that something was strange.
“You… what are you?”
Vanessa was a bit frightened.
Ian grinned while holding his spear.
“Kay, from now on…”
Ian’s mouth went into a smile.
“I give the orders. No objections?”
Sarah and Vanessa shook their heads unknowingly.
