‘What, What the hell?! What would you call this? A lava fall?’
Just as described, in front of Ian’s eyes, there was an enor down
It was such a igantic waterfall that was in between the Canadian and American border
‘Err, but the heat is seriously awful It’s even hard to breathe’
It was already a hot dungeon to begin with, so it was obvious how hard it would be to breathe when he had the lava fall right in front of his nose
While Ian was standing in front of the fall, thinking of this and that, a systee popped up in front of his eyes out of the blue
Ring-
You are the first discoverer of the Source of Lava, the Blazing Explosion
Your Affinity with fire-type will increase by 5
Your resistance to fire-type will increase by +10
From now on, your Affinity with fire-type monsters will not drop below 30
The syste out one after another
‘What the hell, I’ve never heard of a situation like this ever happening before…’
Ian was puzzled, but he felt good
‘On top of that, for me to be the first Even if it was a ht that there would have been quite a lot of users that visited here… Hmm…’
However, that wasn’t the end
Chwaah-!
Suddenly, so Ian squiran to take some sort of form
“Huh?”
Ian gawked at the sight, and the lava slowly changed into soan to approach Ian
‘This… What, what is this? Should I be running away right now?’
Ian was suddenly conflicted as to whether he should run at the iantic in size, but also oozed an unbelievable overpowering feeling, yet his feet did not move
This was because, rather than feeling curious as to ould happen, he felt he would get caught anyways if he was to run
And the thing that had reached right in front of Ian shortly after slowly opened its mouth
Oh-ho! Finally, a Summoner with the qualifications has appeared in the Source of Lava!
Ian, as htened that it would abruptly attack, let out a sigh of relief as soon as he heard its first words
‘As expected, is it a quest?’
And as he heard its words, one of his questions was answered
‘Ah, so this was a hidden map that you can only enter if you are a Summoner!’
If that was the case, it made sense as to why Ian was the first to discover the Source of Lava Since a Suher level than Ian probably didn’t exist
The lava monster that had reached its co si in the air and held a weapon that looked like a gigantic scythe
‘It seehost, but it also seems like a devil…’
With a nervous expression, Ian spoke to the NPC that appeared As he had encountered so many NPCs now, it wasn’t aard for him to talk to them
“Excuse me… Is this place the Source of Lava?”
And the enormous lava lump NPC continued his words
I am the Guardian of Lava, Helian And yes, this place is the Source of Lava
The one who introduced hiain
What is your name?
“I’m Ian”
I see
Aftera breath, he opened his mouth slowly
Ian, do you have the mindset to solve the problem that has appeared at the Source of Lava?
There was no reason to reject a situation that obviously led to an unknown hidden quest
‘Why reject when you don’t even knohat kind of quest will appear?’
Ian immediately responded
“Yes, Helian If it is possible with ladly help”
At Ian’s polite words, Helian wore a satisfied expression as he nodded his head
Saying that you’ll help, I’rateful Then hear my story a little first
And a story related to the quest flowed out of Helian’s mouth
It was a long story that took around 5Ian for help in purifying the Source of Lava that was being contaminated
Ian, who heard the whole story, asked
“Then, Helian, what must I do in order to purify the Source of Lava?”
As Ian asked, Helian slightly let out a breath instead of a response
Hoo-!
At the incredible heat, Ian was surprised
‘Whew, I thought he was shooting a flame thrower’
And Helian continued his words towards Ian, as breaking out in a cold sweat
Firstly, I need to test your abilities before anything
“Please continue”
Take this Sealing Stone and capture over 20 conta it back
From the spot where Helian’s breath was spurted out, a fist-sized stone shi+ning a red light was floating around
And as he slightly lifted his hand, the bright red object moved towards Ian
The more you capture within the time limit, the better Do you think you can do it?
Along with the end of Helian’s words, a questpopped up in front of Ian’s eyes
Ring-
Purification of the Contaminated Source of Lava
Helian, the Guardian of Lava, has requested that you capture over 20 contaminated lava monsters in order to purify the Source of Lava
Receive the Sealing Stone of Lava fro as many lava monsters as possible
(The Sealing Stone of Lava can be used in the sa Stone, many contaminated monsters can be captured)
Quest Difficulty Level: B
Quest Condition: Over lv 50 Summoner
Time Limit: 3 hours
Reward – 42,500 EXP for each contaminated monster captured
Ian’s two eyes widened
’42,500 EXP for each monster?’
The EXP that you gained fro as it wasn’t divided between the Summoner and their Faranted exactly 42,500 EXP
42,500 EXP was equivalent to the EXP you gained when hunting around 12 eon
Ian remembered when he captured his Clopia, which was a Rare-rank monster that was a similar level
