'Somehow I thought that I solved it easily . '
Ian squeezed his lower lip with his fingers and began to think again .
No matter how fl.u.s.tering it was, he wasn't going to kill himself rus.h.i.+ng into it .
Ian bounced back into the air .
Tatt-!
Where Ian stood prior, a huge stone got struck .
Thud-!
Ian escaped through the scattering rocks and moved back and forth while trying to avoid the rock monsters .
He needed much more accurate information about the situation .
'The key surely didn't drop from the monster I just killed . '
There were two possible scenarios .
One, the guy Ian killed wasn't wearing a key necklace around him at all, or maybe the drop didn't happen as the guy was wearing one .
If the latter was the right one, then the situation turned rather difficult .
To hunt one who had a key on his neck meant that no key would drop .
Ian's expression, which had confirmed the body of the fallen monster, was slightly distorted .
'Dammit . This is difficult…'
The first guy Ian took down had a necklace hanging around his head .
'If so, I need to check it for sure…'
Ian moved quickly .
The eight rock attribute monsters were still on the battlefield . It was necessary to figure out how many of them even had the keys .
As a result, all those who had a necklace of a key on their necks had to be killed .
Kung-! Thud-!
Ma.s.sive fists made of rocks fell one after the other in succession toward Ian .
However, due to the agile movements of Ian, those attacks didn't even touch him .
Ian looked around the battlefield .
Kung-!
An additional rock monster had been summoned .
Ian quickly looked over at the neck of that guy .
There was no key .
Ian, who saw it, smiled .
'Nice . There is a chance then…!'
The number of rock monsters that were summoned when the room had been built was eight .
Despite killing one, the number of rock monsters currently summoned was nine .
Six minutes after opening the room, one more monster started to grow . However, Ian's expression got a bit dark .
It was because he still seemed to have a good chance of winning .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt'The remaining time is approximately 24 minutes…'
In Ian's head, the information so far had been summarized into three .
First, two additional monsters have been summoned since Ian had entered the room, and neither of them had any key around their neck .
Second, all eight existing monsters had the keys around their necks .
Third, Ian took about 4 to 5 minutes to kill just one . On the other hand, it took around two to three minutes for the rocks to regenerate .
An information that could be considered as nothing special, but Ian was able to think of a few alternatives with that information .
It allowed him to write some scenarios and come up with the most efficient strategy .
'I don't want to touch those guys who are going to regenerate again in the future . As soon as possible, I'll have to kill eight of them . '
Ian already killed one of them and seven rock monsters remained .
Ian took four to five minutes to kill just one, so killing all seven of them would take 30 minutes .
By the time only two golems remained, the regeneration speed of the monsters would increase rapidly .
'By the time only one of them remains, almost fifteen new golems will be created . '
After completing his calculations, Ian bit his lip .
If he was lucky and the key drops, there wouldn't be much difference, but if it was the last one which had the key, then the fight wouldn't be easy .
Ian didn't intend to leave the quest in the hands of luck .
Due to the nature of Ian, he already a.s.sumed the worst-case scenario .
'I shouldn't go behind one . Somehow I need to shorten the kill time . '
Piping-!
With the longbow in his hands, arrows began to hit the targets .
Surprisingly, however, the arrows were going toward different targets .
Puck-!
Seven arrows were shot, and seven golems had been hit by those arrows .
The 'fire' attribute couldn't damage the 'rock' attribute .
It was because it would lose half of the power in the relation .
Then why did Ian continue to use the fire spirit magic despite being able to swing his spear with normal type attacks?
The answer was simple .
Despite the loss of power, the magic DPS was slightly higher .
In addition, the weapon had to be used in a close range, but the fire arrows were ranged ones .
If Ian used the arrows, the risk of getting hit would be lower .
Nevertheless, there was a specific situation for which weapon had to be used .
And that was when all of the spirit power got exhausted .
'I can't help it . To push the DPS to the limit…!'
Currently, Ian's transcendence spirit magic was just over a thousand .
And the Infernal Fire magic spell consumed 100 transcendence spirit magic each time it got triggered .
a.s.suming that Ian's arrows wouldn't miss, a total of 200 shots would consume all of his spirit magic .
Of course, the spirit magic would continue to rise over time, but even after considering that, it meant that magic couldn't be used indefinitely .
Ian had been using spirit magic as efficiently as possible .
Once the ten marks exploded, the Infernal Fire's cooldown would be finished, and the spirit magic would be reactivated only after the remaining arrows were used .
When he built up a mark with Agbi, he actually shot five arrows with marks, and the marks carefully stacked up . He tried to shoot the remaining 20 arrows without missing .
'However, this is the only way for me to change the strategy . '
Ian relentlessly shot his arrows and began to drive the rock monsters into a corner .
Until now, his strategy was to cut down one monster after the other, but he now decided to randomly hit one .
Ian, who had been pulling his right hand with a lot of thought, now began to pull the string of the bow without hesitation .
Piping-!
With unbelievable speed, the arrows began to scatter into the air .
[Fatal damage has been done to 'Reprobot'!]
[The vitality of 'Reprobot' has been reduced by 77 . ]
[The mark 'h.e.l.lfire' reached its MAX . ]
[The mark caused a powerful explosion . ]
[Fatal damage was done to 'Reprobot'!]
[The vitality of 'Reprobot' has been reduced by 669 . ]
Ian's rate of shooting arrows had been excellent until now .
He was shooting almost two arrows per second with a tremendous accuracy rate of 100% .
It was just a blood bath now .
If anyone could see it, they would probably think that Ian was just throwing the arrows at an insane speed .
[The mark of h.e.l.lfire reached its MAX . ]
[The mark caused a powerful explosion . ]
[The mark of h.e.l.lfire reached its MAX . ]
[The mark caused a powerful explosion . ]
Kw.a.n.g-!
Once every two to three seconds, the mark exploded .
It was only possible because Ian drove the rock monsters at a corner and was shooting them randomly .
It didn't matter what was right, and it didn't matter if he missed a shot .
If he could focus on the mark until it acc.u.mulated, it was bound to cooldown .
After the mark was done, ten to fifteen arrows were left for use .
Kwakwag-!
Ian's spirit magic began to build up rapidly .
['Infernal Fire' the spirit magic has consumed 100 spirit power . ]
['Infernal Fire' the spirit magic has consumed 100 spirit power . ]
In less than two minutes, all the spirit power had been exhausted .
['Infernal Fire' the spirit magic has consumed 100 spirit power . ]
[Spirit power is lacking; hence the spirit magic cannot be used . ]
Ian's eyes confirmed the system message .
Ian's gaze quickly s.h.i.+fted to the vitality gauge of the rock monsters .
'While the spirit power is still full, one of them has to be killed . '
The vitality of the rock monster he continued to mark was currently less than half, and the rest of them had been evenly cut by 5% .
It would take a minute or two for the spirit power to be regained . In the meantime, he planned to remove the lowest vitality one .
“Hmph!”
All of a sudden, Ian brought out the Judgment of the Spirit King and stretched his arms .
Swak-!
Subsequently, the Judgment of the Spirit King shot intense lightning strikes on the chest of a rock monster .
Kwakw!
[The monster 'Reprobot' has been fatally damaged . ]
[The vitality of 'Reprobot' has been reduced by 395 . ]
It didn't end there .
Immediately after throwing the spear, Ian equipped the b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge and began to pump blood mist .
Woong-!
With an intensified resonance, Ian's color turned red .
Ian's body was s.h.i.+ning red . He then rushed toward the monsters .
Swack-!
[Activated the unique ability 'Blood Split' . ]
[The monster 'Reprobot' has been fatally damaged!]
[The monster 'Reprobot' has been fatally damaged!]
[The monster 'Reprobot' has been fatally damaged!]
[The conditions have been met . ]
['Blood Split's' cooldown has been reset . ]
The rock attribute monsters were very dull .
So it was very easy to hit a critical hit .
Ian pierced three rock monsters with the Blood Split .
Ian's new form was once again engulfed into the b.l.o.o.d.y mist .
Swark-!
[Activated the Unique ability 'Blood Split' . ]
Flas.h.i.+ng red lights. .h.i.t the monsters in succession from one monster to the other .
Of course, it was possible to activate the blood split indefinitely .
Anyhow, the probability of a critical hit was not 100%, and the skill linkage would be broken if Ian didn't land three consecutive critical hits .
However, the DPS of Ian was unreal .
Kw.a.n.g-!
[The monster 'Reprobot' has been fatally damaged!]
[The vitality of 'Reprobot' has been exhausted . ]
[You have successfully defeated Reprobot!]
[Gained 109 transcendence experience . ]
[Obtained 17 aster . ]
A red light was flas.h.i.+ng every time Ian moved his sword, and another rock monster had collapsed .
The time it took to kill a rock monster wasn't much faster than before, but the situation was completely different .
The remaining monsters' vitality were damaged evenly by 10% .
Thud-!
The rock monsters fell, and ma.s.sive tremors occurred around the vacant lot .
The key wasn't obtained again, but Ian wasn't disappointed at all .
He was going to kill the eight ones with the keys .
Tat-!
Ian stepped onto the body of the monster and pushed in his sword .
The spirit magic came back, and it was time to start over .
Suddenly…
[Master, it is dangerous!]
Agbi, who was flying in the air, shouted toward Ian with concern .
Behind Ian, a huge fist was flying .
Kwaah-!
Ian didn't panic .
Ian already saw the attack coming .
Thud -!
From the back of Ian, a s.h.i.+eld appeared and blocked the huge rocky fist .
[Successfully blocked with a s.h.i.+eld!]
[Absorbed 91 . 95% of damage . ]
[Vitality reduced by 198 . ]
In that duration, Ian jumped away from the monsters .
“You pigs! Stop now, please!”
Once again, fire started raining from above .
