The Taming Master

Karon wasn"t wrong .

In less than 2 minutes after Ian had entered the forest road, a grey rabbit jumped out of the gra.s.s .

Psssh- Psssh-!

A rabbit stuck out like a bullet and then bounced into some other place .

That action made Ian very excited .

"Huhu, this is fun and refres.h.i.+ng, huh?"

The penalty was one level down, but the level of Ian was already over 400 .

And at this point, hunting was what occupied the mind of Ian .

"Let"s see, where is my bow for hunting the rabbit . "

To catch a fast and slender rabbit, the ranged weapons were much more advantageous for such kind of things .

And Ian naturally tried to open his inventory to swap weapons .

And of course, the inventory didn"t open .

Tring-!

[Inventory cannot be opened in the state of "dead" . ]

“Hu…”

Ian had his crying face on .

"I need to catch the rabbit with a spear…"

Rabbits were basically herbivores .

Because of that, they had a weak attack skill, but they did have great agility .

That was also the case for a rabbit that was in the beginner"s hunting ground in the Colonnare continent .

Many beginner users used ranged weapons and stuff, but the rabbits didn"t even bother to look at the users .

It was all because the rabbits moved with agility were very bad for the hunting efficiency .

"Hu, even then, what to do? I have no choice . "

Ian tried to make up his mind and placed his hands around the sword .

The weapon that was in the hands of Ian was the b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge .

It was what he had taken from Limlong, the weapon that was in his hands when he was being cut down by Mukan .

"It"s great that I wasn"t holding the Judgment of the Spirit King . "

The b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge was like a feather-like sword that had the advantages of a dagger and a sword too .

On the other hand was the Judgement of the Spirit King, which was a spear .

It was clear for anyone to realize which of the weapons would be beneficial for killing a hare .

"There is Blood Split . "

A rus.h.i.+ng attack technique like Blood Split would be a great tool for pursuing a fast rabbit .

Ian decided to make the most of the skill .

"Should I go and find one first?"

Ian, slowly moving towards the gra.s.s, carefully opened the gra.s.s in front of him .

Pussshk-!

Ian killed, then tried to stop all the entering voices into his head and pushed his head through the gra.s.s .

Then the next moment, Ian"s impression crumbled again .

"What is this? A dead rabbit …?"

[Dead Rabbit: Lv 3 (transcendence)]

The level of the rabbit was 3 .

"Hu, can"t you just be a rabbit?"

The Kailan level, it never lied .

Ian"s transcendence level was currently 2 .

And the level of the rabbit was higher than that of Ian, so it was natural for him to be cautious .

In addition, the lower the level, the greater the difference between the levels .

Rustling .

As soon as he approached the gra.s.s, Ian approached the targeted rabbit with light footsteps .

He could have used the Blood Split to approach it at once, but it was better to hold onto it until the rabbit noticed the presence of Ian .

Blood Split was a non-target skill, the closer the distance, the easier it was to hit .

And Ian walked just one meter behind the rabbit…

Capturing the rabbit"s hind limb movement, Ian instantly triggered the Blood Split .

Phat-!

[Unique ability "Blood Split" has been activated . ]

Ian"s none-target skill hit rate was unmatched .

Even the archer rankers who are good at hitting with a non-targeting skill would admire the skill of Ian .

Ian, wasn"t able to hit the rabbit that was one meter away .

Phak-!

["Dead Rabbit" has been damaged!]

After all, Ian triggered the weakness capture, and precisely hit the critical point!

But the next thing was the problem .

[Vitality of the "Dead Rabbit" has been decreased by 685 . ]

[The "Dead Rabbit" is now in "hostile state" . ]

The dead rabbits just like the rabbits in the Colonar continent was like a monster that wouldn"t show hostility unless attacked first .

Which was why the message of hostility had come up .

But that wasn"t the problem .

"685? Didn"t the damage deal get stuck?"

Obviously, it was just three digits of damage even though Blood Split was a critical hit .

Ian"s eyes naturally turned over to the vitality gauge .

Ian was shocked at what he had just witnessed . The vitality of the rabbit was hardly cut .

Was it around 2 or 3 percent?

That was from the damage deal of the Blood Split, which meant that a normal attack would result in a two-digit damage deal .

"Even if it is the Middle-Earth, my attack should have been around 1,000…"

At level 2, Ian"s current damage rate was exactly 1,350 .

But only half of the damage was done, which meant that the defense of the rabbit was higher than the attack of Ian"s .

"What is wrong with this rabbit?"

And at the same moment, Ian was further surprised .

Puak-!

The rabbit bounced and hit the torso of Ian .

[Damage caused by the "dead rabbit"!]

[Vitality reduced by 6,798!]

“Crazy sh*t…!”

Ian had no choice but to curse .

With the 90,000 extra vitality with the item heal, otherwise, the attack could"ve killed Ian in a single shot .

Ian"s current vitality, minus the item bonus, was only 5,000 .

And this time, it was a bunny rabbit that gained the edge over Ian with just one air kick .

Ian"s head started to work fast .

"I can get a thousand points with just hitting it in a flat manner . "

Maybe fighting like this didn"t make the rabbit tired .

The rabbit"s torso is quite fast, but it wasn"t undamaged .

(Of course, if he fought with everything, Ian could win . )

The problem, however, was the time limit .

It took Ian 20 minutes to catch one of them, then that made it hard for him to get five of those in just three hours .

“Hu, I"m having to summon, for a rabbit…”

Mumbled Ian to himself, and eventually decided to borrow the power from his summons .

“Summon, Karceus! Summon, Bbookbbook!”

But the next minute, the system messages frustrated the h.e.l.l out of Ian .

[You cannot summon "Karceus" . ]

[In the state of "dead", only the dead summons can be summoned . ]

[You cannot summon "Bbookbbook"…]

In the state of "dead", only the "dead" summons could be the only one summoned .

And in the battle with the Underworld King, Mukan, Ian was the only one who died .

“Ahhh!”

The word that best described the visit of Ian to the Underworld .

-Ian"s Underworld Exploration . (Ian POV)

So, what did I do?

How did I deal with that kind of situation?

I fought very hard with a rabbit .

One might laugh, but I was very serious .

The time it took to catch one guy was over 10 minutes…

It made me think that catching Death Knights was times easier than that .

But the problem was, that didn"t end there .

In the state of "dead", even the item drop didn"t happen .

The skin didn"t drop for three, have you ever heard the sky sing?

It was like the planning team was playing a joke with the rabbit skin drop rate, and that went all the way .

But when thought about it, the system messages really did inform me very kindly .

There couldn"t be a complete idiot .

And after realizing that I caught the three rabbits without thought, I picked up the bodies of the rabbit and started to move without knowing .

The time took for collecting five rabbits… was around two hours .

Phew .

It was really hard…

This was difficulty F?

Maybe be the F difficulty meant "Fantastic" .

It was a fantastic quest . It…

Somehow, I managed to catch all five rabbits and I would hand them over to the butcher and get the five Death Coins .

Didn"t I really dream that I would succeed in the quest within 5 minutes?

But after the quest, I will finally get some free time for myself .

It was then time to go around the Underworld and get something called "information" .

When I arrived at the Thanatos village, I started to wander around the underworld .

The time remaining until Shakran uncle and the t.i.tan to enter the Underworld is approximately 14 days .

I had to get as much information as I could before then .

Of course, If uncle doesn"t win against Mukan, then he might not even enter the underworld .

But do you know what"s really fun?

After the 14 days, when Shakran uncle opens the portal to the Underworld, I won"t be with them .

Unlike those who won"t be able to cross the Acheron river, I will be able to open the portal into the town of Thanatos .

The other members of the Lotus Guild, excluding me, will move with t.i.tan .

On the contrary, there were many hunting grounds to raise the level of transcendence before crossing the river Acheron . And Shakran uncle will surely do his very best in there, (I feel like he probably is suspicious…)

Besides, the "living" inside the Acheron, Erebus had a side effect, and it was a huge risk to take .

Kay, then!

Then why did I remain in Erebus all till the end even with the doubts and suspicions?

Originally, I planned to get as much information as I could until Shakran uncle won against the Underworld King, and I was planning to enter through the door once uncle opens .

Haha, wonder why?

But that, if one thought a little more, one will understand .

Do you know what I wanted to find the most in the underworld?

Huhu .

To find it right away .

Easier than one thought .

And quick too, before he started to hunt in Erebus, I had ten days in hand .

This is, is a story a day or two before Shakran uncle caught the Underworld King .
