Chapter 518: Entering the Spirit Dimension 1
Tring-!
[You have entered a new dimension, ‘Spirit Dimension’.]
[The dimension system of the ‘Spirit Dimension’ is ‘Middle-Earth’.]
[Transcendence level applies now.]
[Transcendence level stats are all set in proportion to the stats gained in the Earth Dimension.]
[The current transcendence level of user ‘Ian’ is Lv3.]
[The leveling up of transcendence level is limited until you become a ‘Qualified Warrior’. (You may not go over level 10.)]
[You have found this home of the spirits, The Spirit Dimension.]
[Spirit magic (transcendence) has increased by 10.]
[Summon power (transcendence) has increased by 30.]
… Syncopation …
A very refres.h.i.+ng air.
With green lush gla.s.s spread out everywhere.
Arriving into the Spirit dimension, Ian spread his hands wide and took a deep breath.
“Huah, this is the spirit world…!”
Ian quickly scanned the system messages that were in front of him.
‘The spirit dimension is also a part of the Middle-Earth. By the way…’
Ian’s eyes quickly moved up and down in search of something.
He then became fl.u.s.tered after a while.
“What is this? Why didn’t I get the first discovery…?”
The first discovery buffs and rewards that he should have received hadn’t come yet.
‘What?’
Ian looked around.
It was to find if someone had entered the s.p.a.ce before him.
But in the wide map, he couldn’t find anyone.
‘Who could it be? Shakran? Maybe, Devildom rankers?’
Ian started to frown.
The absence of the initial discovery reward wasn’t a huge blow for Ian. The problem was that his plan was now out of place.
‘I was very happy. I should have come to this place a little faster.’
In fact, Ian had already been in a position to enter the Spirit Dimension two to three months back.
It had been nearly three months since the Spirit King’s quest of reaching 400 was touched.
‘Phew, three months time was long, but I’m not even sure who could have found this place in that time…’
Ian thought hard.
‘No matter how hard I’m thinking, there couldn’t have been anyone who would’ve come here before me. At the very least, maybe Levya or Remir noona. And Limlong or Shakran…’
As Ian knew, Levya and Remir were both busy with cla.s.s tier up quests in their possession.
Ian knew that Shakran was going to hunt very happily in the Abyss of the Underworld, and Limlong would have been suffering in the Devildom trying to recover the damage he had suffered from the hands of Ian.
If someone entered the Spirit dimension first, then it could be someone he hadn’t thought of.
And a moment later…
“…!”
A thought went past the mind of Ian.
“Ah, maybe?”
Long ago, the story that Lugarix had told Ian had popped into his mind.
‘Yeah, if what he said about having a master was real…!’
Listening to the story at that time, Ian was under the impression that the concept of the new dimension would be something that would lead to the servers that were all around the world.
And even if it was of that sort, it wasn’t entirely strange even if someone arrived into the spirit dimension before Ian.
It was because the information of the overseas ranker servers were often wrapped in veils, unlike the Korean servers.
By this time, Ian was convinced that his idea was spot on.
“This… looks so fun.”
Ian began to smile.
The plan to pre-empt the spirit dimension was out of the track, but a lot more fun was in place.
“Whatever the case is, this is so exciting…”
Ian smiled and took a step.
Understanding the approximate situation, it was now time to move diligently.
But right then…
Tring-!
A new system message had come in the eyes of Ian.
[‘Friends of the Spirits’ quest has been triggered.]
-Friends of the Spirits (Career Quest)-
Long ago, a summoner were close friends with the spirits.
However, after the spirit dimension had been infiltrated by the mechanical civilization, the lost spirits could no longer cross the walls of the dimension.
The spirits are now in need of help from their old friends.
Find the ‘Frost Cave’ in the ‘Reindeer Forest’.
Deep inside the Frost Cave, the legacy of an ancient summoner is asleep.
If you find the legacy and accept the power, you will have the power to fight with the mechanical civilization.
Quest Difficulty: D+
Quest Condition:
Level 400 or higher Summoner cla.s.s user.
Time limit: None.
Rewards: Unknown
* * *
The ‘Reindeer Forest’ wasn’t that far away.
Following the coordinates that were written in the quest window, it took less than 30 minutes for Ian to arrive there.
Ian took 30 minutes because he was too eager to hunt.
“Ly, stop them from running!”
“Karceus, Breath!”
The spirit dimension was a real heaven for Ian.
The game was so full of color for him; there was no one but Ian on the whole map.
Ian wanted to quickly increase his level of transcendence. He was still at level 3 and had to reach 10.
‘About what the village of warriors is, I need to get some information about it.’
It wasn’t easy to raise the level of transcendence.
Raising the level from 3 to 4 was much more difficult than raising one’s level to reach 300 in the normal dimension.
At best, level three and above was great, but level 4 was really like h.e.l.l.
Apart from that, Ian made some changes in his party.
‘Chirpy’ the one that he had got a long time back was added to the party.
“Jack, Jajack-!”
– Chirpy (Lightning Spirit)
Spirit Power: 57/ 5000
Attribute: Lightening
Cla.s.s: Medium Spirit
Summon Duration: 525 minutes (Recall time: 800 minutes)
Attack: 427
Defense: 218
Agility: 511
Vitality: 8,250
*When the spirit power reaches MAX, it will evolve into a higher spirit.
(Each time a summon spell is used that requires a lightening, a certain amount of Spirit power can be gained.)
The higher the Summoning power of the summoner, the longer will be the duration of the summon be.
Unique Ability: Charge
*Takes 10% of the damage inflicted by the Lightning Spirit Magic as vitality.
Ian summoned Chirpy simply because he was in the spirit dimension.
Anyway, this was the home of Chirpy, so he thought of calling it once.
However, Ian who summoned Chirpy couldn’t help but feel shocked.
It was maybe because he was in the spirit dimension. The stagnant ‘spirit power’ of Chirpy had risen.
In addition, as of the moment, Chirpy was a ‘non-existent’ being.
‘This is the real power of Chirpy!’
Normally in Earth, the role of the spirit was to merely be a vessel for the use of spirit magic.
However, the Chirpy who was summoned in the Spirit dimension was equipped with all the power necessary for combat, from attack to vitality.
Chirpy seemed to be so powerful that it couldn’t be compared to the other familiars.
Chichichik-!
Chirpy went to the sky and spread its wings wide. Powerful currents of sort were flowing from it in a straight line.
That too, to a place, where the vitality gauge of the spirit cut to pieces.
Tring-!
[The spirit ‘Chirpy’ has done fatal damage to ‘Contaminated Silp’!]
[The vitality of ‘Contaminated Silp’ is reduced by 274.]
[‘Contaminated Silp’ is in a state of ‘paralysis’.]
The damage of 274 might seem like a weak one at first glance.
But it was in the Middle-Earth, with the transcendence stats in place.
Because of that, the damage of 274 was a pretty average figure for Ian’s party.
Considering that Chirpy didn’t help much on earth, this was a fairly great development.
Ian, who confirmed that the attack had been done, quickly jumped forward.
Tatt-!
With the newest addition, Ian began to pursue the ‘Silp’ that was trying to run.
“Where!”
The Silp was grey-white in color because it was contaminated, but the Silp was a spirit of the wind.
And like any spirit of the wind, it was fast.
‘But it is different when you are paralyzed. A totally different story.’
Ian’s spear was very fast.
Hitting the spirit in the exact spot, the spirit fell down deprived of power.
Kiik-!
And with that, the usual system messages came in front of Ian.
Tring-!
[Contaminated Silp has received devastating damage.]
[You have successfully defeated the ‘Contaminated Silp’.]
[Earned 6 transcendence experience.]
[Spirit magic can not be obtained.]
Ian had already killed more than a dozen of the contaminated Silps.
Ian smiled looking at Chirpy who had stopped flapping its wings and settled on the shoulder of Ian.
“You did well, Chirpy.”
Jack- Jajack-!
When he looked at the messages, there was a line that caught the attention of Ian.
‘What is up with the last message?’
It was a message that came every time a Contaminated spirit was killed.
Seeing that message, Ian couldn’t help but look into the spirit magic.
‘Kailan never just send such messages. The reason being is its conditions is met. Then I can get the spirit magic.’
Ian had ignored the messages the first two times, but as it kept coming up, Ian couldn’t help but be curious.
‘Should I open the information window and see?’
Among the stats of the summoner cla.s.s careers, there were two things that were related to the spirit.
Ian decided to check it and opened the information window for a moment.
‘It was a forgotten stat…’
And with that, the information windows popped up before Ian.
-Spirit Magic
The stat needed to summon the spirits.
The longer the spirit is summoned or the stronger the spirit is, the more spirit magic is needed.
*This ability is not related with level up.
*The higher the spirit skill is, the stronger the spirit magic will be.
-Summon Magic
The ability affects the power of the summoned spirit.
The more the spirits summoned by the summoner, the stronger the summon magic is needed to be.
*Ability is not related to level up.
*The higher the spirit skill, the stronger the spirit magic will be.
The spirit magic and summon magic were very useful abilities that Ian had used in the early days of his summoner career.
But the higher the level, the lower the efficiency, so it was no longer used.
As described in the description window, the spirit magic and summon magic were not the level up abilities.
‘When I reached around the level of 300, I had no use of it at all.’
But after reading the window, he had a few doubts.
