Taming Master Chapter 577 - The Perfect Party Play 2

On the first day, a total of seven users entered the Warrior’s Village.

Three of them were from the Human system.

It was obvious, but the other four were from the Devildom system.

One of them was the top-ranking Chinese User ‘Ryu Chen’.

‘Why is this being pushed all of a sudden?’

While watching the Devil Dimensional Cavalry fall down one after the other, Ryu Chen’s sweat started to turn cold.

The Battle of the Dimension, which had been going smoothly till then, began to take a turn.

The other rankers out there with him were shocked.

“What is this all of a sudden? Are the numbers increasing?”

“The difficulty increased all of a sudden!”

The four rankers were surprised, but they weren’t stupid.

They understood very well the principle of the mirror battlefield.

After recognizing the situation he had to face, Ryu Chen quickly began to use magic.

“Illusions of Devil, rise up!”

Woong-!

As Ryu Chen recited the spell, shadows—in the form of a beast—began to appear everywhere.

The red shadows began to swipe across the battlefield of the Dimensional Cavalry.

Ahh!

Kyaaa-!

At first glance, Ryu Chen seemed to have a skill or power similar to that of a summoner.

However, Ryu Chen wasn’t a summoner.

He was a Warlock.

Of course, Warlock wasn’t his only cla.s.s.

If that was not the case, he wouldn’t be able to produce a spectacular view on the battlefield.

Ryu Chen, one of the most popular Mainland China users, was well known for his special hidden cla.s.s.

His hidden cla.s.s was the Warlock Illusionist.

He also had a hidden dual-cla.s.s—’Trickster’.

“Hmph!”

“Tat-!”

Ryu Chen inhaled briefly and jumped.

The moment he landed on the ground, a dark red smoke started to form around him, and it then moved to the air.

The very next moment…

Phat-!

As he stretched out his hands to the front, dark green rays spread out in all directions.

The beams began to distort to a wide area.

Woong-!

His dual-cla.s.s, the trickster, was a cla.s.s he gained while he was in the Human system.

Originally, it was the main cla.s.s instead of a dual cla.s.s, but as his race got converted to Asmodian, it naturally changed into a dual-cla.s.s.

The Trickster cla.s.s was the very reason why he was able to maintain his top-ranking spot in Kailan.

The cla.s.s information looked like this:

-Cla.s.s information

Cla.s.s cla.s.sification:

Incantationist

Magician (Dual Cla.s.s)

Hidden cla.s.s:

Illusionist

Trickster (Dual Cla.s.s)

Fusion Cla.s.s: None (disabled)

Ryu Chen was using magic and illusion magic to keep the Devil Dimensional Cavalry in place.

By using the tactical formations, he was able to keep the Dimensional Cavalry in place. Therefore, they were able to bring down the Dimensional Cavalry’s numbers one after the other.

It wasn’t just Ryu Chen there.

Thud-!

Along with a huge eerie sound and a red beam, the Dimensional Cavalry that was being held by Ryu Chen was being cut down.

After seeing that light, Ryu Chen looked shocked after seeing the source of the attack.

‘Was that the ranker Limlong of the Korean server? He sure is amazing.’

The unique ability of ‘Trickster’ was a magic that could trap the enemies and confuse them.

That was why Ryu Chen worked well with a.s.sa.s.sin cla.s.s users.

Limlong didn’t seem to be lacking in skill compared to other top-ranked a.s.sa.s.sins that he had seen.

That was why Ryu Chen was so eager to see the full extent of Limlong’s abilities.

However, Ryu Chen’s thoughts didn’t last long.

Wooong-!

In the meantime, another Dimensional Cavalry came out of the mirror.

‘For now, I need to concentrate on the battle.’

While biting down his lip, Ryu Chen began to reach for the battlefield again.

* * *

-Remaining Army: 77… 77… 76…

-Remaining Devil Army: 42… 39… 35…

Remaining Dimensional Cavalry: Celestial faction/ Devil faction- 56/ 144

Na Ji-chan, who was sitting in the monitoring room and watching the ‘Dimensional Mirror’ battle, laughed.

‘Hehe, it’s inevitable. No matter what you guys do, it would last for another 5 minutes or so.’

Unlike the Celestial Armies who never would have thought of falling to the 70s, the number of the Devil Soldiers started to decline fast.

That meant the battle was won by the Celestial Platoon.

‘I thought the humans would leave this time…’

Na Ji-chan, who was staring at the screen, just shook his head.

The result of the battle looked more precise than ever, but Na Ji-chan had never imagined that the battle would have such developments.

‘The combination of Ryu Chen and Limlong was surely a sight to see in the Dimensional Mirror. But it was too bad that the Devil Faction had no healers.’

Na Ji-chan, who confirmed the rankers on both sides of the camps which entered the battlefield, was sure that the devil side would win.

It was because the Devil Camp had more rankers than the Human Camp. Also, Ryu Chen and Limlong were there.

It was obvious that the combination of those two was surely going to be the best in the Dimensional Mirror. It was almost like they had no reason to lose.

For the first ten minutes, the predictions of Na Ji-chan were on the mark.

At least in the very beginning, the Devil’s camp had a clear advantage.

However, when Ian and Mark Oliver turned defensive, the situation changed completely.

Apart from reducing the number of the Dimensional Cavalry, the number of the army didn’t decrease. The gap became unruly as the devils began to decrease.

‘Who’s head came up with that strategy? Ian? Mark Oliver?’

Na Ji-chan, who was writing down a report with an excited look, sighed while looking at the coffee on his table and went back to the screen.

Na Ji-chan’s task was to monitor, and it was something that only he could do.

Na Ji-chan alternated between drinking coffee and eating potato chips while monitoring the Dimensional Mirror Battle. After a while, he read the system messages, which reminded him that the battle had ended.

Tring-!

[All the troops of the ‘Devil Army’ had been killed.]

[Remaining Army: 72]

[Remaining Devil Army: 0]

[Remaining Dimensional Cavalry: Celestial faction/ Devil faction: 12/188]

[The Battle of the ‘Dimensional Mirror’ is over.]

[The ‘Celestial Army’ has won!]

Na Ji-chan, who checked the screen, shook his head and mumbled, “There’s an overwhelming difference… but there’s definitely no one who can say how this battle will turn out at the beginning.”

Na Ji-chan read the messages that appeared and started to hit the keyboard.

Tak- Tatak-!

It was time for him to return to the planning team after finis.h.i.+ng his report.

However, the sound of Na Ji-chan hitting on the keys stopped.

“…!”

He saw something that fl.u.s.tered him.

His gaze was stuck to the corner of the screen.

[The conditions have been met.]

[Platoon 7 has been promoted.]

[The rankers of the Platoon 7 will rise one step.]

A very unexpected message appeared on the screen, saying that Platoon 7 was promoted.

“7th Platoon…”

Na Ji-chan checked the data of the platoon with trembling hands.

As soon as he looked into the details, nothing but a sigh came out of his mouth.

-User Information

User Name: Ian

Cla.s.s: Summoner (Taming Master) Etc.

Transcendence Level: 10

Warrior’s Rank: Recruit

… Syncopation…

* * *

[The ‘Celestial Army’ has won!]

[Platoon 7 has been promoted as the conditions have been met.]

[Special cla.s.s 1 is now a ‘Recruit’. (Daily Rank specials are only possible once a week.)]

[All the shops in the Warrior’s Village can now be used.]

[Build Merits in battle and earn Merit points.]

[Because of the ‘Platoon Promotion’, Merit points have been doubled.]

[You have earned 212 Merit points.]

[Points remaining for a ‘Combat Soldier’: 212/300]

[Hero Score of 100 points have been achieved.]

… Syncopation…

A white halo began to come out of the mirror, and the messages began to pop up, saying the battle was over.

Subsequently, a huge light had gathered for the left out cavalry on the battlefield.

Specifically, around Platoon 7 and Ian, a much brighter light was s.h.i.+nning.

It was probably the effect of the 1st cla.s.s performance.

“Kue, finally, I’m not a Recruit anymore!”

“Euah, I’m a Fighter at last!”

Platoon 7’s NPCs were cheering around Ian.

Ian, who was just a trainee, had just become a ‘Recruit’, but the other military ranks in the army were all raised into ‘Combat Soldiers’.

“Hmm, this 1st cla.s.s effect sure looks good, but it would have been better if the public value was applied first. A specialty was applied so much at the beginning.” Ian said after checking the system messages.

The points needed to be a Recruit were 100.

Which was why, if the public value was applied first, then he would have become a ‘Combat Soldier’ already.

In addition, due to the 1st cla.s.s effect, the ranks of his fellow combatants had risen.

However, the special stats had been applied first, and the public values were added later. That was why Ian didn’t become a ‘Combat Soldier’.

‘Well, I just need to collect another 90 public points.’

Feeling bad, Ian looked over at the information window of the cla.s.ses.

There were a total of five ranks in the Warrior’s Village.

‘Trainee, Recruit, Combat Soldier, followed by Elite and Brave rank.’

Ian’s eyes moved toward the rank called ‘Brave’ rank.

Being promoted to Brave rank was the ultimate goal in the village.

As soon as he became a Brave rank, he could become an Intermediate being.

‘I need to graduate from here as soon as possible… and I need to pick up Lugarix.’

While thinking of Lugarix who had the transcendence level of 50, Ian smiled to himself.

Once he got Lugarix, he would be able to get a bus ride of 40 to 50 transcendence levels very comfortably.

Mark Oliver and Lichao came to Ian.

“That was great, Ian. We won because of you.”

“You are a great sidekick. Lichao is very impressed with you.”

“…”

When the two notable men opened their mouths, Ian’s face was rather elated.

‘Oliver sure is fine, but I need to do some research on this Lichao.’

He wasn’t able to confirm anything because of the battle, but the ability of Lichao was similar to that of Shakran.

It made sense for him to be in the village.

However, Ian had a strong feeling that Lichao was holding back.

‘If I have the chance, I’ll introduce him to Hoonie.’

In the mind of Ian, a picture of Hoonie and Lichao had formed.

“Huhu, you both have worked very hard too. Now let’s get back.”

Ian greeted the two and stepped toward the blue portal that was created under the tower.

‘Let’s see… I need to see the shops for the recruits. I’m looking forward to it.’

While smiling to himself, Ian checked his Hero Score, which was known to be the currency of the Warrior’s Village.

But the next moment…

“…!”

Ian looked surprised when he saw his Hero Score.

The number of Hero Score, which he had just seen, was ridiculously large.

[Current Hero Score: 1,525.]

‘Ho, I just have around 100 before I came here…’

When he first entered the Warrior’s Village, Ian’s Hero Score was around 150.

He used dozens of points when he purchased equipments, and the Hero Score he got on the battlefield was only 100.

‘Why did I have more than 1,000 now?’

Ian’s head started to roll.

After a while, Ian figured out what had caused this phenomenon.

‘Is it because of this…?’
