Chapter 484 - Serious Crisis 3




Chapter 484: Serious Crisis 3
Three gleaming Dark crystals.
And even if one of the three exploded, the dungeon would cave in, it was a situation of despair.
When he first checked the quest window, Ian remembered the unique ability of ‘Nick’.
The best ability of Nick’s came to his mind, the Guardian of Sun God.
If he cast the Guardian of Sun God at the time the dark crystal explodes, it could absorb the explosion.
But there was one huge loophole.
‘I don’t have time until those three will explode.’
If the three dark crystals exploded at the same time, then it was a method that was worth the try.
But if anyone of the three exploded at a later time than the Guardian of Sun Protection, then it would be a disaster.
‘But, I can’t use a shield… it’s really worthless.’
The shield had the property of completely preventing even the most powerful damage for once.
However, there were two reasons why the shield couldn’t be used in the current situation.
First, even if the shield does indeed manage to protect the user, the collapse of the dungeon due to the explosion would cause a game over.
Secondly, the explosion wasn’t going to happen at once.
Since the explosion wasn’t going to happen at a single time, but three consecutive times, there was no way the shield would withhold.
It was clear that with the first explosion the shield would go off, and the other crystal would explode with them unarmed without a shield.
Ian thought of every possible outcome using his head.
But the more he squeezed the hair on his head, the more stuffy he began to feel.
‘What should I do…?’
A large vacant lot was visible, three dark crystals were in the air.
And behind those crystals stood Limlong with a triumphant expression.
With a jittered voice he spoke to Ian,
“Keuk, the protagonists are finally coming!!”
Ian’s brows lifted when he recognized Limlong.
‘He was the survivor. Lucky guy…’
The strongest assassin ranker, Limlong.
The lucky survivor was the assassin class Limlong, and he was the only one who could survive the situation.
If there were warrior classes such as Irahan or Martin, they wouldn’t have managed to reach the dark crystals.
Limlong started to get closer as they moved.
“Ian, your strategy was brilliant enough. Good enough that I almost died.”
“I was wondering who was alive to do such a thing… Limlong, it was you, huh.”
“Huhu, I had a very hard time coming till here. Now get ready to log out.”
Ian’s head continued to work even while conversing with him.
The time when 1 second, 1 second was getting by, there was no time for him to get offended by Limlong’s remarks.
Rapidly scanning the terrain, Ian discovered the portal behind Limlong.
‘Limlong this bastard, he was just waiting for us to rile us up.’
Some moment, Limlong would enter the portal and the portal would get closed.
However, it was pointless for Ian to attempt to fly till there.
There could be something inside the portal, but it wouldn’t change anything if he would go in alone.
Ian came up with the wrong idea.
‘Those dark crystals, I’d like to put them in some kind of a bag and throw them into the portal.’
Of course, that wasn’t possible.
If the Dark Crystals were touched, they could explode, wiping them all out.
Ian too was just scouting for ideas so he wasn’t going to execute it.
At that moment…
“…!”
Ian’s eyes went large.
‘Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that?’
Ian’s eyes looked over at Limlong.
Limlong had been staring at him with a smirk still registered on his face.
Even then, Ian was completely calm.
Ian smiled and spoke to him,
“Well, don’t you want to run away leaving everything behind?”
“…?”
“Aren’t you going to run through the hole?”
* * *
“What is it? The atmosphere around Ian changed suddenly!”
“I know, right. Is there a way for Ian to get them out of this situation right away?”
“Well. No matter how hard I think, I can’t think of one in my head…”
“Was it just a bluff?”
“That can’t be. Ian’s face seems very confident.”
Hines was relaying the battle that Ian was taking part in real-time.
A day had passed since the relaying had started, but their expressions weren’t showing in a slight sign of exhaustion.
They were explaining the situation with a lot of excitement.
‘Ian, what are you going to show me this time?’
Hines’s eyes were brighter than ever.
Before turning into a caster to comment, he was an avid fan of Kailan.
But that didn’t mean that work wasn’t tough.
No matter how interesting and fun it was, it was hard when it turned into work.
In addition, in the case of the live broadcast of the Kailan, the broadcast this time was endless.
The Kailan’s commentator was known for their extreme career which was hard to get.
Once the broadcast was over, the exhaustion was tough.
However, it wasn’t just for today.
There was only a two 10 minutes break for nearly 10 hours of broadcast time, and he wasn’t feeling hungry.
The broadcast was so thrilling that it prevented Hines from sensing anything else.
‘What is it? How are you going to get out of there?’
Only 5 seconds were left for the explosion.
Ian’s options were very limited.
If Ian solved the situation, Hines would have passed out.
“4 seconds left!”
“3 seconds! 2 seconds! 1 second!”
Excited Hines and Lucia were shouting the countdown time.
Even after 3 seconds, Ian stood there with confidence and no movement.
And the leisurely appearance heightened the tension to the others in the very situation.
And right then, Hoonie who was behind Ian stepped forward towards the dark crystals.
* * *
In the eyes of Hines and Lucia, Ian and the others had no other path than it.
They literally stood there without any movement while the dark crystals were swelling.
What viewers could check was the expression of Ian which was full of confidence.
But in reality, it was quite different.
Ian: Hurry! There is no time, man! Quickly summon!
KanjiHoonie: No, what are you thinking, hyung?
Ian: just do what I am asking you to do! 3 seconds left, idiot!
Although they weren’t showing any movements on the screen, Ian was exchanging messages with Hoonie.
And as there was no time to do anything else, Hoonie finally stepped forward as Ian told him.
And Hoonie who came out because of the constant nagging of Ian came out and began to summon the undead.
“I command the power of darkness… rise up, dead!”
In fact, he could have summoned even he didn’t speak out the spell, but even in such a drastic situation, Hoonie didn’t forget to say out the spell.
In fact, it was the identity of Hoonie.
Woong-!
Faint resonance started in front of Hoonie.
Hoonie summoned skeletons in front of the dark crystals.
Each of the skeletons embraced the dark crystals into their arms.
And that was a sight that caused a further commotion.
“…?”
“What are they doing?”
“Do they think that they can stop the explosion by holding it like that?”
Hoonie and Ian didn’t mind what the expedition users were talking behind them, and the users closed their eyes.
Now, one second later, they were going to see a black screen.
But the next moment, exclamation came out the mouth of someone who was watching the scene unfold from one corner.
“Ah, crazy!”
“Unbelievable!”
Suddenly, Elcarix who was in the arms of Ian ran out and reached for the skeletons.
“Dragonic Barrier…!”
The skeletons were holding onto the dark crystals.
And pure white shield wrapped around the skeletons.
With that, the barrier of Elcarix held in the explosion before it could happen.
Most of the rankers in there might have thought of shield at least once.
But as they all knew the limit of the shields, they didn’t bother thinking further into it.
The idea of enclosing the explosion itself and not protecting the allies with the shield was an ingenious thought.
And the moment the barrier of Elcarix got triggered, a terrifying loud roar went through the dungeon.
Boong- Bang-!
And the destructive force that was strong enough to destroy the entire dungeon, the sound of the explosion that came out of the dark crystal was enormous.
But contrary to the terrifying sound, nothing happened in the dungeon.
Only three skeletons turned into ash.
“Hmm?”
“Ahaa, how did this…”
Emily and Shakran who were in the forefront along with Ian, couldn’t help but shake their heads to clear their thoughts.
The perfect execution of an unthought idea.
And the users of the expedition who didn’t grasp the situation correctly began to mumble in bewilderment.
“That, that… the dark crystals were about to burst…?”
“I think so.”
“What just happened?”
“Well, well. I couldn’t see it properly..”
“Couldn’t be a bug right?”
“I don’t think that is the case…”

However, the mumbling which didn’t stop for a while, however, it all stopped the moment Ian opened his mouth.
“What are you all doing? Move fast and breakthrough, go inside and open the gate, quickly!”
As they just overcame a crisis that they thought they would make it, the users ended up forgetting the operation.
However, with the words coming from Ian, the users began to move in unison.
