Chapter 569: Brave Path 2

Ja-Jajack-!

A fresh and clear sound of a bird could be heard.

Yet the morning at the Ulphir mountains was not so peaceful.

Of course, one would already know just by looking at what was happening.

“Nice, hold on a little more Bbakbbak! Elcarix, barrier!”

Kwang- Kwakwang-!

The first thing that would come into one’s mind when one thought of the Ulphir mountains were the level 500 monsters.

Monsters from the general rank to the hero rank, the legendary and the boss monsters weren’t an exception there.

On the other hand, the top level of the current Korean server users were still in the mid-400s.

Because of that, the Ulphir Mountains couldn’t be played alone.

Except for just one person.

“Celia, give me an Abyss Hole at the right time. Helliem, you know that you’ll have to clear it all in the end, right?”

“Yes, your majesty.”

“Understood!.”

In line with the orders from Ian, the familiars and the retainers were moving in unison.

It was like a well-woven cog-wheel that went right.

Kwahh-!

A large roar came from the mouth of Dukdae that was being controlled by Celia.

As the provocation skill of BBabbbak began, the Abyss Hole was placed.

Kwaahh-!

Along with the Abyss Hole being activated, a vortex of Abyss swirl had been created.

The huge vortex started to emit intense waves; the monsters all around the field began to get sucked in.

Once they all entered the range of the Abyss Hole, no matter how great the manrep was, the monsters couldn’t escape.

Unless they had an anti-CC skill set.

In addition, the monsters in the field were the air monsters called ‘Happy’.

With a huge crowd control caused by the Abyss spiral, the air units like the Happy were rather weak.

Large ground units weren’t usually easy to pull in, but small air units like the Happy had no other alternative to overcome being pulled by the Abyss Hole.

As the Happys began to get sucked in, Ian’s next order fell.

“Kaka, let’s start!”

“Understood, master.”

Subsequently, the low familiar resonating sound rang throughout the battlefield.

[Darkness… come upon.]

Kooo-!

Kaka’s small body floated into the air and darkness started to spread.

And with that being done, the party of Ian ran earnestly.

In the eyes of Ian, the battlefield was like a gunpowder.

All that he had to do was to ignite the wick.

“Blackie, now!”

Prrrrng-!

With the orders from Ian, the final weapon of the familiar party had been called, ‘Blackie’.

All this time, by giving in the hands of Celia, Blackie had been raised to a level close to 400.

[Blackie (Black Unicorn)/ Lv. 398]

Swak-!

Showing off his dignified chic black appearance, Blackie began to rush toward the Abyss Hole.

The black horse was running with electric power and created intense winds on all directions. It was as if it was tearing off the space.

“Blackie, Wings of Darkness!”

Prrrng-!

When the orders reached the ears of Blackie, the pitch-black rings on its back were stretched out horizontally.

A black thing jumped off Blackie and the horse sh*t toward the Happys.

Kwakwang-!

[The familiar ‘Blackie’s’ unique ability ‘Wings of Darkness’ has been triggered.]

[The monster ‘Happy’ has been fatally damaged.]

[The vitality of Happy has been reduced by 4,980,982.]

[Monster ‘Happy’ has been put in the state of ‘fear’ for 2.5 seconds.]

[Since the enemy was put in a state of fear, the cooldown of all the skills were reduced by 1 second.]

[Since the enemy was put in a state of fear, the cooldown of all the skills were reduced by 1 second.]

The claws of Blackie which did damage to the Happy soared into the sky.

Subsequently, as the height was sufficient, the Wings of Darkness were spread out.

Blackie once again attacked the Happys.

[The familiar ‘Blackie’s’ unique ability Magic Chain Explosion has been triggered.]

[The target is in the state of ‘Fear’, so additional powerful damage has been applied.]

Kwang-!

Blackie was the god bird born from the darkness.

However, on the contrary, the unique ability ‘Magic chain explosion’ was a skill that could only be triggered when there was light.

In order to see the shadows, light was needed. In order to cast Blackie’s unique ability, shadow was needed.

[The monster ‘happy’ has been fatally damaged!]

[The vitality of ‘Happy’ has been reduced by 7,250,982.]

[The vitality of ‘Happy’ has been reduced by 6,982,450.]

A powerful chain explosion came out of Blackie’s wings.

Once the dark bombardment was done, the Happy’s were pushed further into the Abyss Hole.

The Happys, who tried their best to get out of the Abyss Hole, fell into a state of ‘fear’ and lost all of their ambitions.

The more frightened the enemy, the more powerful the attack would be.

And having frightened the targets, the battlefield was now owned by Blackie.

[The enemy has been in the state of ‘fear’, reducing the cooldown of the skills by 1 second.]

Since the state of ‘fear’ was in effect, the cooldown reset of the unique abilities was in process.

Swak-!

Fear was like the cage of a bird that was hard to escape from unless the captor released its victim.

And right now, the skill link was something that was similar to a situation from a monsters’ point of view.

Before even falling out of the state of fear, they were already in the state of fear again, so the linkage of the skill didn’t end.

A chain of explosions that came from Blackie’s Dark Wings exploded.

Kwakwang-!

Covered by the other summons’ wide-attack, no matter how high the monsters’ level was, they couldn’t just hold up.

“Karceus, Elcarix. Breath!”

Kyaaa!

Once the breath started to form, the sword of Kaizer began to move.

And then, the number of Happys, which had been very hard to count, in the beginning, was reduced.

After the Abyss Hole was done, the crowd control was released. However, the power of the happys was already cut down to half.

‘There is no need to link; we can finish it like this.’

At this point, when the monsters’ vitality was close to half, it was the perfect time for Ian to use the masks’ ability.

By sucking in the Happys once again with the power of the wind, they were going to jump directly into the guys who were in a defenseless state.

But as soon as it was done, the battle was ended by Helliem.

Woong-! Kwang-!

Because of the skill of Kaka and the attack from Blackie, all the Happys were already consumed by darkness.

The unique ability of Helliem, Dark Vision, was a skill that went through the darkness and cut down his enemies.

In addition, the skill’s cooldown would reset every time the enemy was killed using Dark Vision, and it was perfect for the situation.

Helliem’s Dark Vision would always be enough to kill all the Happys even those that were already on the floor.

Kwakwang-!

Every time the darkness flashed, the Happys turned into ashes.

After a while, the Happys which were in the sky turned into ashes, giving a huge amount of experience.

Tring-!

[You have successfully defeated the enemy ‘Happy’.]

[Earned experience of 58,798,000.]

[You have successfully defeated the enemy ‘Happy’.]

[Earned experience of 58,798,000.]

… Syncopation…

[You have leveled up; you have reached level 448.]

* * *

Ian cleared up all the remnants and ran up to the large rocky peaks that were connected to the field.

The peaks were the very reason he came to that place.

Tat-!

Ian jumped onto the rock and cheered.

“Kue!”

The very field, where he had just hunted the happys at, was the highest point in the Ulphir mountain, so Ian being able to climb there was good.

Tring-!

[You have discovered the ‘Wilderness of Ulphir Mountains’.]

[Fame has risen by 10,000.]

After seeing the system messages, Ian took a deep breath.

As the fresh air had entered his lungs, his mind felt at ease.

“Phew, this is the last one, right?”

Ian smiled as he wiped the sweat off his forehead because he had achieved all of his goals, which he had set to reach before the update began.

In addition to achieving the transcendence level of 10, which was a difficult goal, he also managed to conquer the Ulphir mountains. That was everything he wanted to do before the update along with a 1 level up bonus.

“I think we have cleared all the peaks of the Ulphir mountains”

After climbing on a huge rock, Ian looked around.

The seven high peaks of the Ulphir Mountain entered Ian’s eyes, including the peak which he was on.

“Will I have enough stamina till the end of the update?”

In a moment, the server would close, and a large update would begin.

And from the information that had been around till then, on one of the seven peaks, the Warrior’s path would be created.

‘Seven ancient heroes who guard the path of the warriors… It’s probably related to the seven peaks.’

And maybe, after being recognized as worthy heroes in the eyes of the ancient heroes, the users might be able to enter the gate at the end of the path.

“The Warrior’s Village, and the Brave Canyon…”

Ian was sitting on a rock as he thought about those things.

The next day, at the right time, it would be done, and the competition with the world rankers would start.

Of course, Ian did come across the server rankers in the Spirit Dimension content recently, but none of them caught Ian’s attention.

In particular, the US server’s ranker stats holder, 2nd place user Ralph of the Warrior class, was a bit too serious when it came to the standard that Ian had.

“What kind of content is waiting for me on the Warrior’s Village? I’m so looking forward to it.”

The smile on Ian’s face was enough to send creeps down the spines of the planning team members if they saw it.

BBookbbook was seated beside Ian.

Ian looked at Bbookbbook’s eyes and said, “By the way, BBookbbook-ah?”

“Bubook?”

Bbookbbook was gazing at the distance as if he wasn’t sure if he had to respond or not.

His posture looked very lonely. However, Ian didn’t think much about it.

‘Why is he like this lately? Is it because it is autumn…?’

While smiling, Ian lay down on the rocks.

He had been running on sheer willpower alone, so he had no more strength to move.

“Hmmp!”

After yawning, Ian shut his eyes.

10 minutes had passed?

[The server check for the update had begun.]

[The server check will run for 12 hours…]

Ian’s vision began to turn dark, and the system messages began to appear one after the other.

[After 5 seconds, the connection will be automatically terminated.]

[After 4 seconds, the connection will be automatically terminated.]

[After 3 seconds, the connection…]

And finally, a single line of message filled Ian’s view.

[The connection will be terminated.]

[A massive update of the ‘Warrior’s Village’ is starting.]
