With a loud vibration coming from the bottom, a man looked down to see what was happening.
And the other guy who was next to him asked,
âRalph, what was that? The time limit is very short!â
âI know, Chesk. There are exactly 5 minutes and 30 seconds left. â
âDonât act too freely, Ralph. Donât you think that it is better to clear it a little sooner?â
âWait a minute now. I think there is someone below us.â
ââŠ?â
Kalianâs Ralph was a top-ranked US server and the second-ranked warrior class user.
A few days ago, he succeeded in forming a base party for the Spirit Dimension.
The number of party members was 4, including the party leader Ralph.
Ralph ranked 2nd in the warrior class of the US server, Chesk ranking 4th in the archer class. And a priest of 14th rankâMuel, and a 7th ranking summoner, Inisco.
In fact, Ralph knew about the Spirit dimension a week ago.
The reason why he couldnât enter was because he couldnât find a summoner who met the conditions.
Currently, there were less than 10 summoners in the US server with a level of over 400.
It was just yesterday that Ralph had entered the spirit dimension.
Which was why he was a bit shocked by the situation.
âHas the information about the spirit dimension been leaked already? How could a late comer get inside, already!?â
Currently, most of the rankers in the US server were extremely dedicated to clearing the Lich King episode.
As far as Ralph knew, there was no one who would come to attack the spirit dimension in a given situation.
Ralphâs eyes which were looking below the stairs were shinning.
âWho could it be?â
Since the spire was completely open in the middle, it could be seen.
And the staircase just wrapped around the corners of the spiral tower.
Ralphâs eyes were quickly scanning for the intruder.
After a secondâŠ
âFound it!â
His eyes came across a man with a sword in his hand.
A man who seemed to be wearing a knight class equipment.
Ralphâs face soon took a ridiculous expression.
âWhat? Donât tell me⊠he came in alone?â
Chesk who heard the mumbling of Ralph stepped in.
âWhat? There really is someone?â
âYeah.â
Chesk tried to look in the direction where Ralphâs eyes were stuck to.
âThat one, what kind of a guy is he?â
âAny guess as to what kind of a ranker he is?â
âNo, canât say. He looks like a knight class from the looks of it⊠but canât confirm, as the helmet covers the face.â
Ralphâs face was turning crumbled.
He had given up all the contributions of the Lich King episode just to monopolize the new content, that was the whole reason he had come to the spirit dimension.
âIf only I could just PK⊠this is getting one of my nerves.â
Chesk grabbed Ralphâs hand and opened his mouth,
âLetâs worry about it later, letâs move to the next section, Ralph. Muel and Inisco are waiting for us.â
âKhum, think so?â
âAnd, there is no need to worry.â
âWhy?â
âThat guy will barely make it to the gate.â
ââŠ?â
âHow can a knight class user who had lost all the party members even come till here?â
âLost the party?â
âThink about it. How could he even enter here without a summoner?â
âAhâŠ!â
âHe came in with a party, just like we did, but is left all alone.â
Ralph shook his head and tried to clear all the negative thoughts with the reasoning of Chesk.
He was too embarrassed to have missed such a simple theory.
It was a prerequisite condition that a summoner was needed to enter the Gate of Pan.
And this time, his face turned normal and brighter.
âYeah well. The difference is a lot.â
Dozens of spirits were surrounding the knight class assumed user, and without any concern or regret, Ralph took another step forward.
The fact that a latecomer had entered the spirit dimension, meant that the content information about the Spirit dimension had spread throughout the world.
Which gave him another reason to hurry.
* * *
From the mouth of the spirit, lava sprung out endlessly.
A unique ability of the âCasaâ which was similar to the water cannonâa âLava Cannonâ.
Fire streams of canons started to flow into Ian who was about to land.
No matter how one saw it, there was no place he could retreat to, and it didnât seem like it could be escaped.
Ian looked at the point where the lava cannon would hit.
Woong-!
With a low resonance, Ianâs shield began to shine with a blue glow.
âDragonâs soul!â
From the mouth of Ian, words came out a bit sloppily.
And blue light began to shine around Ian.
Three translucent shields were created around Ian.
Wheeing-!
Mysterious shields with three coordinates appeared around Ian.
Three shields which were created in a noticeably short time began to block the incoming stacks of the lava.
Though the angle or the coordinates of the shields were a bit misaligned, the three shields were summoned in the wanted positions.
Kwakwakwa-!
However, that wasnât the end of the crisis yet.
It wasnât three Lava canons that were shot at Ian.
The other two lava canons were still rushing in his direction.
An instant situation.
If Ian fell to the ground, then the lava would hit Ian.
But at that moment, Ian came down and swung the shieldâs angle.
âNowâŠ!â
Kwahh-!
Under the pressure that was being exerted by the Lava canon, Ian was pushed back a little.
Thud-!
Using the force of Lava, he landed in the place a little behind where he should have originally landed.
And as Ian got pushed out of his direction, the last stream of Lava canon hit the original trajectory.
Swhho-!
And subsequently, lines of system messages came before Ian.
[You have successfully blocked using the shield!]
[Absorbed 88.95 percent of the âLava Canonâ.]
[Vitality has been reduced by 174!]
[âWrath of the Dragonâ unique ability has been triggered.]
[Attack damage has been increased by 0.5 percent.]
The control that Ian just displayed was perfectly designed.
Starting from the coordinates of the three summoned shields, using the Lava as a recoil in the last minute.
All the actions were calculated.
âThe time difference is much worse than I imagined.â
The five Casaâs unique ability was triggered at the same moment, but their distance from Ian was different.
Ian first blocked the three lava canons nearest to him and then went to block the farther ones.
Using the time difference between the two Lava canons with the largest distance, the coordinates for landing was changed.
It was theoretically possible, with calculation and movement.
Ian confirmed his cut down vitality and mumbled to himself,
âMuch stronger than I thought?â
Ian had absorbed nearly 90 percent of the damage and took in 174 damage.
In other words, if they were hit in the earth, then he would have suffered nearly 1600 damage.
âThree stacks and I would have died.â
With all the item stats at 0, Ianâs transcendence vitality was less than 5,000.
If the damage was about 4,800âit was natural he wouldâve been goaled.
Although the amount of damage they had was unexpected, it turned out cool.
âIâll have to stay on.â
Ian recovered the shield.
It was time to fight back.
âShould I start with the ones who lost their unique ability?â
Ian glanced around and jumped forward.
Tattat-!
The wind spirits âSilapâ were rushing in, and the target Casaâs were in the back.
Kakang-!
Ian moved his shield against the Silaps lightly and began to wield the Bloody Revenge.
At the same time, system messages came in front.
[âWrath of the Dragonâ, unique ability has been triggered.]
[Attack damage is increased by 0.5 percent.]
[âWrath of the Dragonâ, unique ability has been triggered.]
[Attack damage is increased by 0.5 percent.]
Ian had a simple strategy.
With the fast attacks from the Silaps, he was trying to stack in the maximum buffs.
An attack buff with the âwrath of the Dragonâ unique ability that stacks 0.5% for every successful shield block.
And preventing the Silaps from attacking, it would allow him to get a maximum of 100 stacks.
Kakak-!
In addition, the Wrath of the Dragon had a 15% chance of reflecting the absorbed damage.
[âWrath of the Dragonâ, unique ability has been triggered.]
[Given damage to the lesser wind spirit âSilapâ.]
[Inflicted 487 damage to Silap!]
Spirits with vitality less than 10,000, but the cumulative damage of 400 to 500 wasnât negligible!
And so by just blocking, Ian was able to cut down their vitality little by little.
âWhatâŠ?!â
Ian tried to squeeze through the spirits and began to attack the nearest Casa first.
Swack-!
Since the buff was already superimposed, Ianâs blade was very sharp.
In addition, the Casa was a magic offensive spirit and because of that, the tanking was much weaker than that of the Silap.
[Lethal damage done to the Fire spirit âCasaâ!]
[Vitality of Casa has been reduced by 502.]
[Vitality of Casa has been reduced by 635.]
As soon as the attacks started to get hit, the vitality gauge started to fall.
And the vitality of Ian wasnât that great either.
[Vitality left: 2,984]
Successful shield blocking doesnât account for 0 damage, so the accumulated damage had been made.
Of course, he canât stop or dodge all the time, so he decided to get attacked.
Ian regularly checked the vitality and the stacks of the âWrath of the Dragonâ buff.
â38 overlapping⊠it will be hard to hold on till the stack gets full.â
When the wrath of the dragon gets a 100 stacks, the buff would come, but another ability could be activated.
For 5 seconds duration, he would be completely invincible.
But before the 100 stacks could be made, it looked like the vitality of Ian would be running out.
âThen, I canât help it.â
Ian started to move much more aggressively and began to attack the âCasaâ.
Did it take 20 seconds?
Ian took down one of the Casa and almost died at the same time.
That moment, the unique ability of Undine, the water spirit which was behind Ian followed.
[The water spirit âUndineâ, unique ability âBlessing of Waterâ has been initiated.]
A shield began to flow all around Ian with a light blue glow.
Ian jumped in front of the Casa with his backed shield.
A fireball had come flying from the Casa, but it didnât matter.
No, he had to get hit with the fireball straight on.
Only then would they fill up the lost vitality.
[âCasaâ has been seriously damaged!]
[âBlessing of Waterâ has been triggered.]
[Vitality has been restored by 1,209.]
In addition, the attacks from the Silaps from the back were received.
[Vitality has been restored by 598.]
[Vitality has been restored by 759.]
Due to that, Ianâs vitality which dropped to the bottom was back to a safe level.
The âBlessing of Waterâ was a unique ability that lasted for 3 seconds, but it was enough for Ian.
Whoong-!
A transparent protective film which fulfilled the role vanished into the air.
And if the Blessing of Water had to be used again, Ian had to wait for another 27 seconds.
âThere is wrath of the dragon. Iâll hold it till then.â
Ian, who completed the battle cycle, began to run wild.
He started the damage calculations and all the designs were done perfectly, so there was no reason to falter.
[âWrath of the Dragonâ, unique ability has been triggered.]
[Invincible state has been triggered.]
Ian wielded a sword with blood and cut things crazily.
However, though Ian was raging out, not one spirit had died.
Only a dozen of them had got their vitality cut to half or less than half.
Ian wasnât aiming for that, but he was trying to bring down as many of spirits as he could.
How much time had passed?

Tring-!
Once again, a system message came in front of Ian.
[âBlood Splitâ, unique ability is ready to be used.]
And with that, the bloody red color of the sword began to shine again.
