Taming Master Chapter 437:
‘Hue, I have to think calmly about this…’
A proposal to be promoted to a top tier hidden class appeared .
‘Summoner Knight’ was obviously a new and amazing hidden class for the summoner class .
Normally in Kailan, it was impossible to change from one class to another .
Ian was feeling conflicted, as it was the gods who gave him the chance to change to a 4th tier hidden class to show their gratitude for ‘Muran’s crystal’ .
The reason why Ian was conflicted was because in his quest window the ‘Taming Master’ class tier-up option could be seen .
‘Even if I raise the Taming Master’s tier or pick being a Summoner Knight, they will both be in the same tier…’
Which class was better for their current situation wasn’t clear yet, and the two classes were totally different .
The first difference between the two was their class classifications .
The Taming Master was an evolutionary hidden class where one could upgrade its tier . The Summoner Knight, on the other hand, was a class that was already classified as a top tier—the 4th tier—without being upgraded right from the beginning .
If a user would be given the chance to transfer to a higher tier, that user would probably not be able to decide right away .
The thing that Ian was really concerned about was the ‘4th tier’ .
If Ian picked being a Summoner Knight, he could change his class the moment he accepted the quest . However, if Ian chose to do the 4th tier of the Taming Master, he would have to tame the Dragon of Darkness, Lugarix .
If Lugarix was a normal monster, then it wouldn’t be an issue . However, he was a named monster with a unique name and of myth rank .
It wasn’t clear if the task was possible or not since there were no records yet of anyone being able to successfully upgrade to a 4th tier .
‘Uh, Summoner Knight…’
It was a deeply troubling topic for Ian .
However, Ian didn’t have the time to worry about all this .
* * *
The Kailan planning team of the LB company .
Na Ji-chan, who was working late at night, was going somewhere with hot water for his cup ramen .
“I love cup ramen at night . ”
Na Ji-chan—the only person in the planning team who enjoyed night shifts .
Na Ji-chan stayed back in the company the whole week .
“Is no one in the monitoring room?”
Keeck-
Na Ji-chan opened the door and glanced around the monitor room . He couldn’t help but smile since it was quiet .
One of the greatest pleasures of Na Ji-chan was to watch a dozen monitors in the monitoring room and watch videos while digging into his cup ramen .
He couldn’t really have ramen in the monitoring room when other employees were around . So he could only do this during his night shifts .
“Kay!”
Na Ji-chan sat on the most comfortable position to look at the monitors . He then picked up the remote control and started to turn on the monitors one after the other .
Ping- Ping- Ping- Piping-
As the monitors were being turned on one after another, a small sound came out . Na Ji-chan then started to work on the keyboard to set the screens on the rankers that he wanted to see .
“Since it is already 9 pm, all the rankers will be online now . ”
To see what quests the rankers would be working on and what planned content they were going to open, Na Ji-chan turned on the monitors with excitement .
The first set of monitors that Na Ji-chan turned to was that of Ian’s .
Except for special cases, Na Ji-chan always checked Ian’s videos right away .
Na Ji-chan who was carefully examining Ian’s videos burst out of excitement .
“Ohho, you found the underground prison of the Lich King? That’s faster than what I expected… how did you find it?”
No other content related to the Lich King could be seen unless the Episode of Conquest had progressed . So what Ian did made Na Ji-chan dumbfounded .
“The structure looked like the Rataphel Manor… Lotus already went through Rataphel? How could that have happened?”
Na Ji-chan was mumbling to himself and turned on the tablet PC that he always carried .
He then looked at the data that only planning team members could see .
“Hmm, surely… you haven’t reached Rataphel yet . So how did you get in there?”
Na Ji-chan was looking at the video with much more excitement than he had a while ago .
He didn’t understand how Ian found that place, but he had a slight idea as to why he was able to found it .
‘He was trying to find Helliem . ’
Na Ji-chan knew a little information about Helliem .
Though he wasn’t the one who planned the character, the character was an important NPC .
“I can’t believe this guy’s luck or was he just that persistent . This guy’s game sense is amazing!”
The lowest floor of the Rataphel Domain .
Ian guessed that Helliem was definitely there .
The greatest knight of the Luspel Empire .
In fact, if the Lich King quest went in the right direction, then the NPC Helliem was the one who was designed to get through the quest .
Once the Lich King was defeated and the darkness has been lifted, a quest would be created to purify Helliem who had fallen into darkness .
It wasn’t yet the time for those things to happen .
Users could only get to Helliem once the Lich King had been successfully defeated .
However, Ian managed to find the underground prison ahead of time . No one knew now where the quest would head to .
‘Keu, are you for real Ian God? If he wants to clear the dungeon safely without being caught by Rataphel’s Knights… he really needs to get Helliem . ’
If they really did manage to do that, the Lotus Kingdom would be able to soar even higher than where they were now .
Rather than the individual strength that Helliem possesses, the level of the knights of the Lotus Kingdom could be raised tremendously with Helliem on their side .
In fact, if one compared Helliem and Kaizer with each other, the fighting abilities of Kaizer were more superior .
However, that was just their stats and combat abilities . Helliem was still far superior to Kaizer when it came to leadership and everything else .
“Phew, this will be a fixed channel once again…”
Slurrp-!
While slurping his cup ramen, Na Ji-chan operated the remote again .
After moving Ian’s video at the center, he turned off all the other monitors .
“Huhu, I feel sorry for your party members… it won’t be easy for you anymore, Ian God . ”
Ian’s party were fighting their way through the Undead monsters .
Seeing the rankers defeat the dungeon they created, it felt like he was fighting head-on with the rankers .
When the party’s battle with the Death knights including Rosen happened, Na Ji-chan reached the maximum levels of his excitement .
“Right, Rosen! The AI is working well!”
Rosen controlled the Death Knights one by one and caused great trouble for Ian’s party .
Seeing the scene brought great happiness to Na Ji-chan .
“Ha! What will you do now, Ian? If you won’t clear the dungeon within 2 to 3 hours, then you’ll probably be caught by Rataphel’s Knights, right?”
Na Ji-chan was talking as if he was directly conversing with Ian .
However, something suddenly happened that made Na Ji-chan flustered .
Muran suddenly appeared and wiped out all the Death Knights .
“Crazy…!”
He knew that the arrangement of Muran was under process and that someday Muran would visit Ian .
But even then, this ridiculous turn of events made Na Ji-chan’s eyes doubtful .
“Why now Muran?”
Na Ji-chan thought that he possibly couldn’t see anything weirder than that .
If Muran helped Ian’s party, the dungeon would be cleared in 30 minutes rather than 2 hours .
It wasn’t just because of Muran’s power .
The reason why Muran came to Ian was because Ian took the ‘Summoner Knight’ 4th tier hidden class .
Ian, who inherited the abilities of Muran would be changed to a 4th tier hidden class ‘Summoner Knight’ and would gain powerful skills immediately .
In addition, all of his stats would be adjusted to the stats of the 4th tier hidden class he picked .
It had an entirely different power compared to the 3rd tier .
Once Ian’s familiars became compatible with the combat abilities of Muran, the difficulty of the dungeon would be reduced by half .
Na Ji-chan shook his head .
“Huu, Now if he gets Helliem…”
According to the planning team’s plans, Helliem couldn’t be reached as of the moment .
In other words, Ian would have immediately hired him if he had rescued him .
Other users with low affinity wouldn’t have known, but Ian who was always in the forefront for the Lotus Empire would have enough affinity with Helliem .
“Dammit . ”
Na Ji-chan was feeling intrigued and started to turn on the other monitors once again .
No matter how many monitors were displaying Ian’s videos, he just never seemed to be losing interest .
“Ah, this…”
Na Ji-chan grunted while reaching out for the remote .
After a while, Na Ji-chan started to doubt his own ears .
Because he just heard an unbelievable speech coming from Ian .
[Thank you, but I can’t . ]
[What is that…?]
[I can’t accept your offer . ]
After hearing that, Na Ji-chan got up from his seat and looked at the screen .
* * *
“Why?”
“What?”
“I am powerful . If you take my power, you will get a hold of a mighty power for you are a summoner . ”
“Yes, that is true . ”
“Then why would you reject my strength? You are the true hero who has inherited my will . We are fated to take over everything and kill the Lich king…”
Muran’s face went blank and dull when Ian rejected him .
It was the same as Ian’s party members .
“Ian, what are you doing?”
“Yah, what do you think you’re doing now? Do you think the 4th tier class will come to you like calling out a dog’s name?”
Everyone was dumbfounded except Hoonie .
“Hmm, is this hyung finally trying to put restraints on himself . Surely playing the game alone isn’t even a bit fun . ”
However, he wasn’t even a bit interested in what his party members had to say . Ian then said,
“Muran, My path is the path of the Taming Master . ”
“I know . ”
“And I haven’t reached the end of this road . ”
“…?”
“The ‘Summoner Knight’ is a very exciting route, but not for now . I at least want to see what the Taming Master can show me at the end of the road . I will then think about your offer . ”
“…!”
All of Ian’s party members became sulky and so was Muran .
Basing on the AI that was embedded in Muran, it was a very tough decision for it to understand .
However, it was very brilliant for the AI to cope with all these unforeseen development . Muran soon understood and responded to Ian’s answer,
“Well, you sure are qualified to be called a hero . ”
“…?”
“Since you are a great man, you should have the desire and aspiration of such sort . ”
“Yeah, well . ”
Muran responded,
“Nice . I will respect your choice, but…”
“But?”
“However, you must carry on my will . ”
“Your will…?”
An ominous feeling came over Ian .
“I, Muran who has inherited the will of a hero, will defend humanity by stopping the Richie King Chalian’s ambition and punish him!”
Tring-!
And with that, the notification of a quest came on .
