Chapter 169 (2/2)

At Ballam's words, Hoonie nodded his head

However, it wasn't like he could proceed with the Iht away anyways

Since the three days that Kaizar gave him were too short to even start the Immortal quest

It was because of that he resorted to rando like this

”Once the Pyro Doet him to do the Immortal quest with me”

Ballareement

Yeah, that's a good idea If Lord Ian helps, it will probably become much easier to even successfully complete the quest

”But will mean Ian actually help…”

However, just then, one boy caught the gaze of Hoonie, as gru while he spoke with Ballam

It was a Su with a Sand Scorpion that looked to be about lv 130

Hoonie, who became interested, slowly approached him

”What is he doing? Why exactly is a lv 100-ish Summoner in the middle of the central continent like that?”

Even by roughly looking from far away, he had poor control and combat abilities

Of course, as the only Su recently was Ian, Hoonie's standards were high

However, the fact that the Su

Ballam tilted his head

I'm not sure… Anyhow, that drake looks similar to the drake Lord Ian has It's just a little smaller, that is

Meanwhile, the boy of question, who the two people atching, was none other than Canoel

”Yongyong, I think we'll have to attack the tail first!”

Grr-!

”I'll try and properly block the attack from the front!”

Canoel was fighting desperately against the giant scorpion with every ounce in hiotten so close that he was right behind him

However, shortly after discovering so, Hoonie's eyes rounded

”That, that's!”

Ballam asked with a puzzled expression

What's wrong, Hoonie?

”Ballam, do you see that belt by any chance?”

At that, Ballaaze turned towards the belt that Canoel had equipped

…!

”That's it, right? That's the Pledge of the Monarch of Darkness, for sure!”

The Pledge of the Monarch of Darkness was one of the necessary itemsrequired for Hoonie to proceed in the Immortal Quest

'I have no idea why someone like hiician, but…'

Hoonie pulled out the staff hanging on his back without hesitation as he charged towards the scorpion

At that, Ballam, as taken aback, asked out of surprise

What are you doing, Hoonie!

Hoonie cast his black ic as he shouted

”We need to save that guy first before we can ask, no?”

Whoong-

Thu-thud- Keu-keu-keung-!

Along with a low resonance and a loud fricative sound, the boulder in the back of the wide-open space moved to the side as a new space appeared

Eclipse walked slowly as he entered the space

Come in here, Ian

”Sure”

Ian, who followed behind Eclipse without ht, couldn't help but become flustered shortly after

Ring-

This was because, along with a notification sound, a truly unexpected systee had popped up

You have entered the first territory of the Selamus Test's Gateway

This is a space Familiars cannot be handled

All Familiars that are summoned have been withdrawn

The abilities of all equipment have been incapacitated

All possessed skills have been sealed

Only the equipateway of the Selamus Test's Gateway may be used

It was truly an outrageous penalty where all of his hands and feet were tied together

Even if the other parts were set aside, the penalty of not being able to summon his Familiars was incredibly critical to Ian

'No, what are they expecting a Summoner to do without their Familiars?'

Ian stared at Eclipse with a flustered expression

”What… Is this?”

At Ian's question, which was full of a lot of different s, Eclipse smirked as he replied

What do you mean 'what is this'? It's exactly as you saw just now Our Selaes one as a true warrior when they kno to h a difficult hurdle even without the help of any equipment or Familiars

”What the hell…”

Ian, who opened his skilland item ith a duh

All of his skills were sealed, and all of the stats of his items were replaced with 0

Eclipse opened his mouth

”No, setting aside the other parts, what are you expecting a Summoner to do without a Familiar?”

Eclipse grinned as he continued his words

That is so that depends on your abilities For your information, I'm also a Summoner, but I passed the whole test with all of these penalties

Eclipse, who finished speaking, walked out through the back side of the space

Ian barely held back the slur of sords that were about to pop out of his er

'No, that was only possible for you, since you're an NPC that the developers made!'

And as soon as he left, a blue curtain that was about 20as its centre

'Is it siic Tower to meet Gripper?'

Ian, whose state was no different froan to prepare to fight the opponents that would appear soon

However, just then, another systee popped up

You ateway

A this flustering space, it was the first positive e that had appeared

However, in the next htened, couldn't help but turn into a frown again

Different kinds of weapons are inside each box, and until you select one, you will not know the content of them

Along with the e, five black boxes appeared in front of Ian

'How could there be such a cruel system like this?'

Internally, his stomach hurt, but as there was no other method Ian slowly placed his hand on one of the boxes
