Taming Master Chapter 351:
Hoonie’s eyes were shinning .
“Oh ho…! We are included in a worldwide message!!”
Ian responded with a silly expression .
“Yeah, is that really what’s important now? We need to do this quickly . Start reading from the beginning of the Skill window . ”
“Shit! okay…”
Hoonie immediately opened the skill window .
Ian was already reading the details of the Fusion Skill .
‘The Dark Bondage is like a… is like a maze that temporarily limits the movements of objects . This isn’t so special…’
Ian’s interest was on the other two skills that were classified as the fusion skill .
The Dark Bondage was a normal skill, so it didn’t make much difference for them, while the other two skills were completely different and unknown from the most basic Dark Summoning skill .

‘It is a skill that can only be used in a play if both Hoonie and I are together… right?’
Since the level of the skill was too low, it was still impossible for them to recall a myth or legendary creatures . However, the skill would be of great help .
Ian laughed a lot in the inside .
‘For a while, I will be the one who’ll need more help than Hoonie’
The reason for it was very simple .
Among all the summons that Ian possessed, the only one below the rank of Hero was Halli .
In layman’s term, the only familiar that Hoonie could use from Ian was Halli .
Ian on the other hand had abundant resources to call .
Hoonie had normal skeletons, and he used various levels of Undead .
Especially the Death Knights and the named Undead were all Hero ranked except for ‘Belam’, so Ian could summon the death knights .
Hoonie who was reading the skill window right next to Ian was grumbling with a pouty face .
“What is this? Another skill that is advantageous to hyung? There is nothing apart from Halli that I can call from your familiars . ”
Ian smiled and responded .
“It is a good thing, and I get to recall your Undead right?”
“That’s what I’m saying…!”
“If you’re so unhappy, then you should start hunting with me and increase the level of the Fusion Skill . ”
Hoonie’s face turned red .
“Huh? What the hell?”
“Didn’t you read the skill window thoroughly?”
Ian continued .
“If we manage to go beyond skill level 5, you can then replicate the legendary summons . If you shoot up to level 10 up to the MAX level, then you can even have a myth class . ”
Hoonie’s expression brightened .
“If you shoot up to the MAX, then this is a much more advantageous skill for you . I have two myth grade familiars, and you still haven’t got a single myth grade . ”
Because of the last thing that Ian said, Hoonie responded harshly .
“Huh, wait and see . With what I received from the Daedmon quest, I will do one more personal quest and then upgrade my Bellam to a higher Knight . ”
What Hoonie just said made Ian ask .
“Oh…? So is Ballam a myth class now?”
“Huh, you didn’t think so?”
When hunting with Hoonie, Ian often preferred Ballam .
There was something nice about the Death Knight, and they were fun to use in a hunt .
However, unlike the normal image of the Death Knight, Ballam was a star of all the undead .
Like its name ‘Sovereign Death Knight’ .
It literally meant, ‘The Monarch Death Knight’ of the Undead .
A summon which Ian really wanted to call .
‘I need to reach level 5 and control Ballam . ’
Just by thinking of controlling Ballam, Ian started to get excited .
And Hoonie once again spoke .
“By the way hyung, rather than this Dark Recall… the Soul Recall seems to be more efficient, right?”
“Uh, really? Just a minute, I need to read it . ”
Ian opened the skill window of the Soul Recall .

In its current state, the Dark Recall skill wasn’t of much use .
The summoning of general to unique didn’t mean much, and only one hero ranked could be summoned .
It was a skill that would be effective only after reaching Level 5 .
However, the ‘Soul Recall’ was different .
It was because this was a skill that could be applied to major classes such as Karceus or to retainers like Kaizer and Pauline .
In the case of familiars, it gave the merit to immediately recall the pets before their death .
However, even if it meant the death of a familiar, it was still useful if they could manage to defeat their opponents in a battle .
‘Besides, it can be used to users too…!’
Ian liked that part the most .
It was because Ian had always been very frustrated every time a member of the party died .
The most frustrating thing he experienced was when a ranker with good specs and rank had to die without using the fullest of their abilities .
Besides, except for the divine skills, all the other skills could be used and that was still tremendously good .
This was surely an inefficient skill for those users who couldn’t control their character’s abilities properly .
Hoonie spoke to Ian with an excited face .
“With this skill, I’ll be able to use Ian hyung’s character too, right?”
It was impossible to control the character of another person in the virtual reality game—Kailan .
However, with this skill, it would be possible to control Ian’s character, who was now the 1st ranker and the strongest user .
However, Ian laughed at Hoonie’s childish wish .
“Huh? You think that’s possible?”
“Why? It’s written here . It applies to users!”
“Hoonie, have you ever seen me die?”
“…!”
Hoonie’s hopes died upon realizing what Ian just said .
“Hyung, it is alright to die like once a month you know?”
“I hate it, idiot . ”
“Then how about once every two months…?”
“…”
The two of them—who was currently standing up—sat down and studied the skills thoroughly .
While in combat, the ‘Soul Recall’ skill couldn’t be used immediately, but the ‘Dark Recall’ skill could be used immediately .
Ian saw two messages came up at the same time while the two of them were studying the fusion class and fusion skill .
[Herz: Jinsung-ah, are you busy now?]
[Fiolan: Ian, what are you doing now?]
* * *
The Kailan servers were full .
All the traffic on the page had been flooded because of the Lotus Guild, and there was an additional bomb like issues .
What was the explosive issue?
The appearance of new content that wasn’t even pre-announced .
Thankfully it wasn’t in the official community of Kailan but in the blogs of various communities of other games .
And the contents were…
– Lol… Haha… . LB is really amazing… Haha . Don’t they need to announce it in public when new content is being added? Whatever… they are at the top in the market shares, there is no need for publicity, I guess?
– I think so too, LOL, they are in a different class . To make such huge contents and open them up without any notice . They are amazing .
– Maybe the publicity team wasn’t made aware by the development team about the content? It doesn’t make sense… the other games usually have bulk updates along with high publicity .
– There is no need for such publicity, this is Kailan .
Praising Kailan were the first comments that could be seen in those blogs . The other comments were…
– By the way, what kind of guy is this Ian?
– Exactly what I wanted to say . Does he play 24 hours a day and try to clear all of the contents?
– Hmm… will it be possible to do in 24 hours?
– Lol . Do you think that it will only take that long to finish the contents of that game? This is a game that scares the **** out of other games .
– Are the skills important in the games? Isn’t it the game that has been going on for the longest time?
– Honey, what prehistoric times are you talking about . That’s all in the past…
– It wasn’t uncommon for games to be as influential as Kailan . With the same specs, experience, and the hunting, other games were rather similar .
– Right . Once a character is at the top ranks then there is a rule… that is to continuously move forward no matter what to maintain the character’s level . No exceptions .
– Guys, Ian can’t be judged by the standard of comments that people give . They need to consider how much he is being praised .
Once again admiration and controversy started because Ian’s name was mentioned in the world message .
Sometimes, the name KanjiHoonie would appear in the comments, but they were very few .
It was thought that the Warlock was fortunate enough to be known because of Ian .
Thanks to that, Hoonie who was reading the comments was getting angry .
“Whaaaaat!? Why is Ian hyung’s name the only ones that can be seen here!”
Honestly, it was Hoonie’s fault .
In the concept of keeping ‘mystery’ to his name, he still kept his ranking in the private
setting .
So there weren’t that many people who knew Hoonie .
The few people who knew Hoonie were the one he partied up with or watched his performance .
So, the 1st ranker Hoonie, who was 10 times higher than the other warlocks, was unable to get recognition .
“Wah, should I release my ranking too?”
This time, Hoonie wanted to boast to his school friends .
After much thought, he decided to not disclose his ranking .
“Nope, Ian hyung has become famous even though his rank is still in private? I’m a mystery, and I will surely become a famous warlock . ”
Hoonie was mumbling something .
But then,
He heard a familiar voice from the other side of his room’s door .
“Hoonie-ah! Dinners ready!”
