Chapter 496

The Lich King Chalian episode was meant to last for at least a year .

In addition, even the working developers were expecting around 9 to 10 months for clearing the game, as quickly as possible .

And it was the same with Yan Kwang Jin, one of the chief PDs of the Kailan development team .

“Are you ending up in a queue? That monster like a bastard, Ian . ”

Yang Kwang Jin was muttering to himself while staring at the small screen TV that was inside the development team’s studio .

Inside the screen was a giant dark dragon that was roaring .

Kyaaa!

In fact, Yang Kwang Jin, a senior PD and lead developer, had been involved in the development of the next content for a long time .

As soon as the affinity with Lugarix and Ian had reached the maximum limit, the planning team started working even though the episode wasn’t over .

But apart from that, this current development of the game was truly something that nobody from the planning development team had expected .

‘I never thought that the last hurdle would be broken down so easily…’

The ‘last hurdle’ that Yang Kwang Jin was talking about was the temporary attack from Chalian .

The Boundary Distortion that temporarily changed the dungeon’s dimension type to the ‘Middle-Earth’ .

The difference caused by this plan wasn’t actually something that could be overcome by the concepts of gaming such as ‘control’, at least confidently for the ’10 months’ .

There were two ways to overcome the dark enchantment .

The first one was to break through the front .

Before the user can hit the episode, the media content progressed to some extent and would raise the transcendence level equivalent to that of Chalian .

But in order for that growth to happen, a year was enough time .

Therefore, it could be said that it was a very meaningful method .

The second was to bring a ‘transcendental being’ into the dark enchanted region .

That was actually the key to clearing the Lich King episode .

A transcendence being that is in a hostile relationship with Chalian and make the being deal with Chalian .

Just like Ian had brought Lugarix .

‘Finding Lugarix quest and clearing it . Increasing the affinity was obviously not easy…’

Ian was a special case .

‘Hoonie’ was in the quest that was related to the Dragon of Darkness, and so the main quest was in progress .

There was the quest ‘Tame the new Dragon of Light, Elcarix’ which was the only way for the increase of affinity with Lugarix .

The original 10 months time given could’ve been cut by half .

It was a fortune, it was the result that could never be completed without the ability and understanding of the episode .

In the eyes of the developer Yang Kwang Jin, Ian was born just to play the game .

“Ehhh, I’ve got to stop thinking about useless stuff and get to work . This time, I’ve got the headcount, so the next piece of content will be a bit hardcore by the planning team . ”

Yang Kwang Jin, who got back his calmness, began to focus on the monitor .

He knew that even if one line of code was placed, it would turn into a shortcut for the work .

* * *

– How dare you clutter with the hierarchy of the Gods and their creations?!

Lugarix’s mouth opened, and dark energy got shot to the air .

Kwa Kwakwang-!

The range wasn’t wide, but the power of destruction was just as strong as the Breath of a dragon .

Chalian who managed to avoid it with Blink opened his mouth with a trembling voice,

“Uh, You’re Lugarix? How are you here…?”

Before Chalian placed the enchantment of the field, Lugarix was active on the battlefield .

But he helped Ian without manifesting into his real body .

That was the reason why Chalian hadn’t noticed the presence of Lugarix .

Then why was Lugarix battling with the polymorphic form?

It was for a simple reason .

Rather than using the physical combat attacks in the normal body, using the variety of dark magic in the human polymorphed state would be more helpful in the battle .

Surely, magic could be cast even in the form of a dragon, but the casting of magic was much better in the human form .

It was common sense that dragons with huge bodies were much more likely to be disturbed when casting spells when compared to the small bodies of humans .

But not now .

The enchantment cast by Chalian made it possible to use the power of the Middle-Earth…

“Darkness, burn it all!”

Hwrrrk-!

The exclusive possession of the dragons and one of the highest tiers of transcendence .

He could use the ‘Dragon Language Magic’ .

“Kuaakkk!”

Chalian screamed in pain as he was getting engulfed in darkness .

Chalian, the king of the dead, was indifferent to suffering . He was unable to endure the darkness of his own origin which was burning him .

The expedition users who witnessed it were looking at the Lich King with a dazed expression .

“Wow…”

“Awesome…”

And among them; specifically, the magician users, the degree of surprise was even more high for them .

Lugarix was showing a very high level of magic .

“Crazy, that is almost a scam…”

“It is almost like a cheat-key?”

The Dragon Language Magic, in a simple word, is a form of transcendence magic that was of the basic concept of ‘class’ .

As the dragon had ‘Magic Clan’, the magic weapons interacted with the element itself .

Because of that, unlike the magic that the users speak, the power to change the ark of the magic was high .

Moreover, the moment it becomes the transcendence being…

-Magic Clan –

Dragons are born with the ‘magic clan’ .

Dragons who become complete can use higher magic in proportion to their intellect and can learn new spells through the spellbooks .

(However, the power is less than the power of the magician class . )

Even the penalties granted to the ‘magical clan’, would disappear completely .

Instead of using the human-generated ‘Magic meant for humans’, they would use the dragon magic .

So the power of Lugarix’s offensive magic seemed to be much more powerful .

However, apart from that fact, the greatest reason for the users to be astonished was not because of the strong power of the magic of language .

It was a more powerful magic and it was an obvious thing that came along with the move to the higher content .

However, they were flustered because of the ‘special power’ of the dragon language spells .

The power was…

“How is it able to use magic without even casting?”

‘Casting Time’ a weakness that magicians had to follow, however that didn’t exist in the dragon language magic .

Of course, the ranker wizards who cast could reduce their casting time by the use of the magic items, the casting time could be reduced to almost nothing .

The difference between almost nothing and nothing was really huge .

Lugarix, who was now a magician was pouring out three to four attack spells at once .

“Believe in the Trivial powers and do this…”

Everytime Lugarix began to cast, a painful scream came out of Chalian’s mouth .

“Rid of the Soul!”

“Keu, no!”

“In the name of the Dragon God, I punish you!”

It was like seeing a fight between a child and an adult .

The vitality of the raid monster Chalian was abnormally high, and he had been holding on for a long time .

The battle between Chalian and Lugarix was surprising enough for the use of the ‘battle’ .

All the dark magic that Chalian had used were scattered by a single gesture of Lugarix, and the vitality gauge of Chalian was falling down each time Lugarix’s verbal spells exploded .

And it was a known fact not just to Ian but all the users, and there was a reason why it was affecting Chalian to the extreme .

That was it .

In fact, Lugarix was the perfect natural enemy for Chalian .

The verbal spells had the ability to disable the spells of the same tier magic of the lower tier, and unfortunately, the attributes of Chalian was dark .

The level of transcendence was more than doubled for Lugarix, and it was only natural that Chalian was being rod down .

Ian was staring at the appearance without much difference from the users, and he suddenly opened the party system messages .

It normally didn’t open as it would be an interference with the battle, but in such a situation the options were wide for the onlookers .

[Dragon of Darkness ‘Lugarix’ has done fatal damage to the Lich King Chalian!]

[Vitality of Chalian has been reduced by 143,265!]

[Vitality of Chalian has been reduced by 178,273!]

Everytime Lugarix cast magic, numerous system messages were pouring in .

Ian looked at them in detail and was interested .

‘Even in the transcendence level of 40, the damage is over 100,000 units?’

In the meantime, Ian began to analyze the magical damage caused by Lugarix .

If he could analyze the damage of Lugarix; the transcendence level of 45, he could see how much the stats would rise with each level .

And it was the thought that came to Ian as he was such a person .

‘Keu, if the transcendence level is at 100, it will do much more damage than the level 500 of a human dimension . You’d need to have a high number to survive the blow . ’

Ian smiled and laughed inside .

Ian was aware of it, but the battle between Lugarix and Chalian was coming to an end .

“Kyaaa, in vain! If it only wants you Lugarix…”

“That assumption is meaningless, Chalian . The moment you broke the law of dimension, you would have been judged by the God anyway . ”

As soon as Lugarix said that, purple energy began to whip around the body of Chalian .

The purple energy turned into chains and the whole body of Chalian was being trapped in them .

“Kuek- Keuk-!”

Chalian was groaning in pain as his whole body was being bound with purple chains .

And seeing such a satisfying figure of Chalian, Lugarix opened his mouth,

“Stop it now, and go back to nothingness . ”

Huge dark energy that was inside the ‘Falcacio Stronghold’ was getting sucked inside the mouth of Lugarix .

A magnificent view of the black hole which everything was engulfed .

The energy that entered the mouth of Lugarix was turning into purple, and the mass that was accumulated was growing into a large sphere as time went .

Goooo-!

With a huge intense resonance, a sound was enough to make the entire dungeon vibrate .

The breath of Lugarix went to engulf the bounded Chalian .
