Sarah and Vanessa had no objections with Ian taking over .
On the contrary, it seemed like they were trying to be a little more faithful to the orders of Ian .
It was quite a surprising one for Ian .
"I thought that they would act a little full of pride…"
This was an att.i.tude that was never seen in ordinary rankers .
However, Sarah and Vanessa were different .
The only things that seemed to matter to them were to "play well" in the game .
"I don"t know where this guy came from… but, with Ian, we might be able to get past Linus . "
Linus was the second-ranked user, and the 1st ranked magician in Germany .
But for Sarah, Ian"s skills seemed to be much better than Linus .
"I"m glad I met this guy in the Middle-Earth . If I met him in earth, his skills wouldn"t have been that watchable . "
Sarah misunderstood Ian as a "starter" who started the game a bit late .
She guessed the level of Ian being around mid 300s .
If Ian had reached the level of 400, there was no way that the German servers wouldn"t mention it .
Of course, the level needed to enter the spirit dimension was 400, but she thought that he would have entered the dimension with some other route .
In addition, the gap of 50 levels in the Earth dimension could be covered with one or two-level difference in the transcendence level .
In any case, thanks to the orders of Ian, the twins could easily breakthrough the first gate .
Tring-!
[You have successfully cleared the first gate!]
[Contribution is being calculated . ]
[Ian: 1,021 ]
[Sarah: 995 A]
[Vanessa: 893 A]
[If the contribution is less or equal to D, then you will be dropped from the gate . ]
[If you got dropped out due to lack of contribution, you will be able to try again . ]
Arriving at the end of the first gate, the tightly closed iron gate opened and white light started to enter .
System messages kept coming .
[You have successfully completed the quest "Summoner Pan"s test I (Career) (Linked)"!]
[Transcendence experience of 100 has been earned . ]
[Acquired fame of 100,000 . ]
[Remaining time: 5 minutes 24 seconds]
[Clear grade: ]
[Cleared with A or higher grade . ]
[Gained 30 spirit magic (transcendence) . ]
[Gained 12 summon magic (transcendence)]
Ian read the messages and looked very happy .
Both the spirit magic and the summon magic had increased a bit .
"I get what I give in the spirit dimension . "
When Ian entered the spirit dimension, the sum of all the spirits and the summoned magic was 40 to 42 .
If one used it like that, it might not seem like a huge deal, but the stat was in transcendence terms .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt The proficiency level 100:1 would translate into transcendence, so in the Earth"s system, it was nearly 4,000 .
Ian opened his window and checked his stats after a long time .
[Spirit Magic: 127 (transcendence)]
[Summon Magic: 76 (Transcendence)]
"In case of the summon magic, I gained more here than that of the earth system . "
Ian was feeling very excited .
After getting through the gates of the test and gaining the "Spirit magic", it was possible to use "spirits" in the battle again .
It was still a long way ahead, but if he could collect just 5 times the current stats, it could be used .
When Ian finished all the preparations, Ian glanced at Sarah and Vanessa .
Like Ian, the two of them too seemed like they were checking their stats .
“We"re going to the second gate right away, right?”
The two of them nodded at the same time that Ian asked .
“Obviously!”
“Let"s go until the last gate!”
Seeing the two sisters all excited, Ian smiled .
"These two are simpletons too . "
Breaking past the first gate, Ian found out a few things about the twins .
He realized why the two of them stuck together .
"Vanessa does a lot of physical . But she lacks gaming sense and instant judgments . "
According to Ian, Vanessa seemed like a top-cla.s.s player with just control .
Though it was a bit exaggerated, he could see much difference when he compared her to himself .
The problem was that the control was limited to one dimension .
"Maybe if I am a beginner with no skills or summons, and I go against Vanessa on a one-on-one PK, then I"m not sure if I can win…"
However, Vanessa was lacking a lot apart from control and skills .
Without the orders of Sarah, it would have been hard to be rankers .
"Sarah, on the other hand, lacks the physical . Instead, she has a huge outlook and her game sense is amazing . Excellent application skills too…"
The physical of Sarah wasn"t so bad .
However, if compared to the ones in the top 10 rankings, it wasn"t enough .
The game understanding and sense of Sarah wasn"t lacking and was top cla.s.s .
Vanessa worked perfectly according to the orders of Sarah .
And Sarah perfectly supported Vanessa with her summons .
It was a twin duo battle .
However, there was no way for the party to not have limits .
"Because of Sarah"s weak physical, she couldn"t bring out the best play of Vanessa . "
If Vanessa"s physical was 100, Sarah was only able to understand 80 to 90 of it .
It was because she hadn"t ever come across 100 abilities .
So even though she could give better order, there were limits on them .
However, Ian was different .
Ian had the ability to understand all the abilities of Vanessa and had more game sense than Sarah and had better situational judgment .
That was why Ian"s orders could raise the parties" ability to a higher level .
The twins who saw a new person were getting addicted to the orders of Ian .
“What is it, Ian? Let"s move fast!”
“Right, right!”
Vanessa put her leg into a huge muddy puddle, and she didn"t realize it .
“You aren"t tired, right?”
She tried to provoke Ian .
Ian smiled and raised his thumb .
“Nice att.i.tude, Vanessa . Let"s run ahead!”
Then came the new system message in front of the party .
Tring-!
[Start of "Summoner Pan"s Test II (Career) (Linked)"]
[Spirit "Silp" has been summoned . ]
[Spirit "Salamander" has been summoned . ]
[Spirit weapon "Pillar of Earth" will disappear . ]
The first gate of Pan, which was a narrow and long pa.s.sage .
The second gate was entirely different .
“Are you going to climb that tower?”
At the mumbling of Sarah, the second gate was a huge tower .
The tower was of great height; it seemed to be around 20 to 30 story high .
Subsequently, in front of the group of Ian, a quest related to the second gate was created .
Tring-!
-Summoner Pan Test II (Career) (Linked)
After pa.s.sing the first gate, you have the chance to challenge the second gate .
At the second gate, you will be given a new spirit (Spirit weapon) .
You must go through the gate using the given spirit, and if any of the spirit given to the party dies, then you will fail to pa.s.s the gate .
Successfully kill the contaminated spirits and reach the entrance of the third gate .
Quest Difficulty: C+
Quest Condition:
The user who has received the quest "Summoner Pan"s Test II" .
A summoner cla.s.s or a summoner cla.s.s member in the party .
Time limit: 20 minutes
*Breakthrough all the monster waves to reach the third gate and complete the quest .
Reward:
Transcendence experience of 125
Fame of 100,000
"So the choice of choosing a spirit is gone?"
Ian who read the quest window was feeling intrigued .
It was expected what spirit would be given to him .
As Ian had thought, system messages suddenly came to his sight .
Tring-!
[Water Spirit, "Undine" has been summoned . ]
[All the unique abilities of the item that were limited will be restored (Items won"t be restored)]
“Oh oh…!”
The voice of Vanessa who was excited could be heard .
Ian smiled upon hearing Vanessa .
"Yeah . I want to use the unique abilities attached to the item . "
Ian seemed to like the place of "Pan"s Gateway" .
He never experienced this before; this was a fresh dungeon .
The dungeons which needed the use of mind were much more interesting than the simple breakthrough dungeon battles .
"Item"s stats only restore their unique abilities at 0 . "
Ian was thinking and then changed his gear .
[Item "Judgement of Spirit King" item has been removed . ]
[Item "b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge" has been equipped . ]
[Item "Dragon s.h.i.+eld" has been equipped . ]
The biggest drawback of the "dragon s.h.i.+eld" equipment was that it greatly reduced the ability of two-handed weapons that were worn .
However, in the current situation where the stats were all set to 0, there was no weapon as efficient as the s.h.i.+eld .
"The indigenous ability attached with the spirit king is surely great but enough to create a variable like the b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge . "
Ian who was done selecting his items looked over at Sarah and Vanessa to see what king of spirits and weapons they were given .
"Vanessa was given a gnome, and Sarah was given the staff of fire . "
He also realized another fact .
"The spirits and the spirit weapons weren"t given randomly . "
Water had been given to Ian who had wind, and Vanessa who was a fire had been given land .
Lastly, Sarah who was fire had been given land .
They were given the opposite of the attribute they chose at the first gate .
Ian once again felt that the combination that was given at the first gate was the most important one .
Since the first gateway was well balanced, the second would be well balanced too .
Ian smiled while looking at the two sisters .
“Are you ready?”
The twins answered immediately,
“Go!”
“Obviously!”
If the Fire attribute salamander was a spirit with magic attacks, then the Earth spirit gnome was a pure tanker .
The wind spirit Silp was an offensive supporter, and the water spirit Undine was a full-on support spirit .
-Undine (Water spirit)
Spirit Power: 0/200
Attribute: Water
Rank: Minor Spirit
Summon Duration: 250 minutes (Recall summon time: 300 minutes)
Attack: 65
Defense: 105
Agility: 67
Intellect: 185
Vitality: 3,120
Unique ability
*Blessing of Water (30-second cooldown)
-Blessing of water creates a thin s.h.i.+eld on its target . The s.h.i.+eld absorbs all the damage and heals the target with the absorbed amount .
The s.h.i.+eld lasts for 3 seconds .
*When the spirit power reaches MAX, it evolves to a higher spirit .
(Each time a spell that requires a water attribute is summoned, a certain amount of spirit power is gained . )
*The higher the summoners summoned magic, the longer will be the duration .
Ian was very fond of the unique ability of Undine .
"On the first gate, there were no unique abilities available . The spirits were the main dealers… now it"s my turn . "
Taking advantage of the unique powers of the b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge and the Dragon s.h.i.+eld, Ian was confident to exert more power than all the spirits together .
For that reason, the unique ability of Undine which was "support" was the most efficient for Ian .
It would be much more helpful to support Ian than to use offensive magic .
Ian started to move into the tower and suggested something to Sarah .
“Sarah . ”
“Huh?”
“I think it is better for you to see the orders this time . ”
At the unexpected suggestion of Ian, Sarah couldn"t help but blink .
“Why so?”
“I don"t know the unique abilities that are attached to the equipment that you have . Sarah, you, on the other hand, you will know the unique abilities of Vanessa . ”
“That is true . ”
“So this time, Sarah . I"ll leave the orders to you . ”
“Well, then…”
Sarah, who received an order position from Ian nodded her head .
There was nothing wrong with it .
However, Ian"s words weren"t done yet .
“Instead, give me a free role . ”
“I"ll clear the front for you . ”
"Free Role" was a term that was used in soccer, it literally meant "unlimited position" .
Ian would be able to stir around the battlefield freely, regardless of orders and positions .
A position only given to the ace of the team .
Ian was going to head into the game at full speed .
