Chapter 40 (2/2)

There was an iron gate on that side as well that looked siate from where he came in from

He didn’t kno long this endless aht that eventually the door would open while he caught them

And before resetting, he had eons like this one where waves of monsters would endlessly continue

And so, as he roughly kne he needed to handle the situation, he was incredibly relaxed

‘It should be any time now for the wave of monsters to slowly end…’

Ian, who saw the last ghost collapse after being bitten by Ly, re-adjusted his position

If the as not done, then new lizards would appear again

However, just then, the area startedin a different pattern from before

‘Finally, the wave is over I wonder what’s going to appear?’

Whoosh-!

A loud noise rang through the inside of the stone charound

‘A Magic Su Circle?’

This was usually a pattern that appeared when a dungeon boss was being summoned

Ian was on edge as he stared at the blue light that gathered in the centre of the stone chamber

“Ly, prepare to attack!”

Grr-!

As the Magic Su Circle in the middle of the stone chamber was invoked, a silhouette started to slowly appear

However, while watching it, Ian’s eyes slightly grew

Fro Circle that looked like an enormous boss monster would appear out of, a small elder appeared instead

With a body that was co hite light, it was a ghost that had the form of an elder

While Ian was flustered, the ghost elder(?) spoke

Ho… I see you are a Summoner

Ian was momentarily flustered at the weird elder that appeared and even started talking, but he quickly collected himself and replied

“That’s right, but… Who are you?”

Still, it was Ian, who kne to respect his elders, but as he first treated him with respect, he couldn’t help but think that they could also be a monster

However, the elder showed no interest in Ian’s question and s Ian didn’t understand

For the first person to challenge this Oakley’s test to be a Summoner… Could this also be fate?

“Grandpa, is your name Oakley?”

At Ian’s blunt question, the elder finally nodded and responded

That’s right My name is Oakley

“Why are you here, grandpa?”

The elder, who ain

I cannot tell you that yet

“What?”

Ian was taken aback

As he suddenly appeared and spoke of a test and such that made no sense the more he spoke, Ian couldn’t help but be flustered

However, just then, the elder, who just stared at Ian without speaking, raised the white staff he was holding onto and responded with a low voice

Challenger… If you pass my test, you will learn of all the secrets of this structure

Ian, who felt so stance

Thu-Thud- Thu-Thu-Thud-!

The whole dungeon began to shake violently

‘What exactly is about to co me nervous’

Oakley, who lifted his staff towards the nervous Ian, shouted out a su command with a loud voice

Drake of Chaos, answer !

And along with his words, a white light burst out froantic drake appeared

The drake looked similar to the Ghost Drakes that Ian encountered on the first floor of the dungeon, but it was almost twice their size, and different frorey light

The overwhellory intimidated Ian

However, its overbearing outer appearance was not all

‘Lv 75? On top of that, Heroic rank?’

Ian was in despair

No matter how much Ian crawled or flew, he and his Familiars were only in their early lv 40s, and since Ddukdae, as the highest level was at lv 45, there was almost no way for him to win a lv 75, Heroic rank monster

‘How does this eon that’s located in a lv 60-ranged hunting ground!’

At the unexpected situation, sords automatically came out of his mouth

Of course, this kind of situation wasn’t nonexistent

There were cases of a dungeon that was interlocked with a quest connected to a high rank, or a dungeon that was related to a hidden piece, having lv 95 Boss eon that was only about lv 60-70

However, no matter how unlucky, this was truly the bottom of it

‘Euh… I tried to not die even once since I reset my character, but do I have to die here?’

Ian slightly looked at Ly and Ddukdae

‘If I think I’ to die, I’ll first recall my Familiars’

Familiars didn’t completely cease to exist if they died

However, proportionate to their level, they couldn’t be suain for a certain amount of time, so at around lv 40, it was only possible to re-summon them after about three days passed since they died

On top of that, it was obvious that Familiars received a level-down penalty as well

‘If death is inevitable, I’ll make sure I’m the only one that dies’

The ga 1 lv and for 24 hours, they couldn’t log in, so even if Ian died, he needed to save his Familiars no matter what

It would hurt his heart if he had to die, but if he could just save his Faain as soon as the death penalty was over

And above all else, he didn’t want to see the Fa

Roar!

The Chaos Drake that the elder summoned cried out loudly

Coon Fear, it was a joke, but to Ian, as nothing

Your body constricted at the ‘Chaos Drake’s Fear

For 10 minutes, all of your stats will drop 5

Ian tightened his fist

Even though he reached ga easily

As Ian lit up his fighting spirit, the elder shtly and put forth his staff

Drake of Chaos, attack him!

Grrrrr-!

At his command, the Chaos Drake inhaled deeply

Seeing that, Ian’s eyes slightly widened

‘What the hell, that thing even uses Breath?’

That preparation movement was surely to shoot out Breath

Ian ran forward and yelled at Ddukdae and Ly

“Ddukdae, Ly, separate yourselves to the sides!”

Along with those words, a black Breath gushed out of the Chaos Drake’s mouth

Hwaaak-!

And Ian quickly turned his body and placed his back against it
