Chapter 522

Sarah and Vanessa had no objections with Ian taking over .

On the contrary, it seemed like they were trying to be a little more faithful to the orders of Ian .

It was quite a surprising one for Ian .

‘I thought that they would act a little full of pride…’

This was an attitude that was never seen in ordinary rankers .

However, Sarah and Vanessa were different .

The only things that seemed to matter to them were to ‘play well’ in the game .

‘I don’t know where this guy came from… but, with Ian, we might be able to get past Linus . ’

Linus was the second-ranked user, and the 1st ranked magician in Germany .

But for Sarah, Ian’s skills seemed to be much better than Linus .

‘I’m glad I met this guy in the Middle-Earth . If I met him in earth, his skills wouldn’t have been that watchable . ’

Sarah misunderstood Ian as a ‘starter’ who started the game a bit late .

She guessed the level of Ian being around mid 300s .

If Ian had reached the level of 400, there was no way that the German servers wouldn’t mention it .

Of course, the level needed to enter the spirit dimension was 400, but she thought that he would have entered the dimension with some other route .

In addition, the gap of 50 levels in the Earth dimension could be covered with one or two-level difference in the transcendence level .

In any case, thanks to the orders of Ian, the twins could easily breakthrough the first gate .

Tring-!

[You have successfully cleared the first gate!]

[Contribution is being calculated . ]

[Ian: 1,021 A+]

[Sarah: 995 A]

[Vanessa: 893 A]

[If the contribution is less or equal to D, then you will be dropped from the gate . ]

[If you got dropped out due to lack of contribution, you will be able to try again . ]

Arriving at the end of the first gate, the tightly closed iron gate opened and white light started to enter .

System messages kept coming .

[You have successfully completed the quest ‘Summoner Pan’s test I (Career) (Linked)’!]

[Transcendence experience of 100 has been earned . ]

[Acquired fame of 100,000 . ]

[Remaining time: 5 minutes 24 seconds]

[Clear grade: A+]

[Cleared with A or higher grade . ]

[Gained 30 spirit magic (transcendence) . ]

[Gained 12 summon magic (transcendence)]

Ian read the messages and looked very happy .

Both the spirit magic and the summon magic had increased a bit .

‘I get what I give in the spirit dimension . ’

When Ian entered the spirit dimension, the sum of all the spirits and the summoned magic was 40 to 42 .

If one used it like that, it might not seem like a huge deal, but the stat was in transcendence terms .

The proficiency level 100:1 would translate into transcendence, so in the Earth’s system, it was nearly 4,000 .

Ian opened his window and checked his stats after a long time .

[Spirit Magic: 127 (transcendence)]

[Summon Magic: 76 (Transcendence)]

‘In case of the summon magic, I gained more here than that of the earth system . ’

Ian was feeling very excited .

After getting through the gates of the test and gaining the ‘Spirit magic’, it was possible to use ‘spirits’ in the battle again .

It was still a long way ahead, but if he could collect just 5 times the current stats, it could be used .

When Ian finished all the preparations, Ian glanced at Sarah and Vanessa .

Like Ian, the two of them too seemed like they were checking their stats .

“We’re going to the second gate right away, right?”

The two of them nodded at the same time that Ian asked .

“Obviously!”

“Let’s go until the last gate!”

Seeing the two sisters all excited, Ian smiled .

‘These two are simpletons too . ’

Breaking past the first gate, Ian found out a few things about the twins .

He realized why the two of them stuck together .

‘Vanessa does a lot of physical . But she lacks gaming sense and instant judgments . ’

According to Ian, Vanessa seemed like a top-class player with just control .

Though it was a bit exaggerated, he could see much difference when he compared her to himself .

The problem was that the control was limited to one dimension .

‘Maybe if I am a beginner with no skills or summons, and I go against Vanessa on a one-on-one PK, then I’m not sure if I can win…’

However, Vanessa was lacking a lot apart from control and skills .

Without the orders of Sarah, it would have been hard to be rankers .

‘Sarah, on the other hand, lacks the physical . Instead, she has a huge outlook and her game sense is amazing . Excellent application skills too…’

The physical of Sarah wasn’t so bad .

However, if compared to the ones in the top 10 rankings, it wasn’t enough .

The game understanding and sense of Sarah wasn’t lacking and was top class .

Vanessa worked perfectly according to the orders of Sarah .

And Sarah perfectly supported Vanessa with her summons .

It was a twin duo battle .

However, there was no way for the party to not have limits .

‘Because of Sarah’s weak physical, she couldn’t bring out the best play of Vanessa . ’

If Vanessa’s physical was 100, Sarah was only able to understand 80 to 90 of it .

It was because she hadn’t ever come across 100 abilities .

So even though she could give better order, there were limits on them .

However, Ian was different .

Ian had the ability to understand all the abilities of Vanessa and had more game sense than Sarah and had better situational judgment .

That was why Ian’s orders could raise the parties’ ability to a higher level .

The twins who saw a new person were getting addicted to the orders of Ian .

“What is it, Ian? Let’s move fast!”

“Right, right!”

Vanessa put her leg into a huge muddy puddle, and she didn’t realize it .

“You aren’t tired, right?”

She tried to provoke Ian .

Ian smiled and raised his thumb .

“Nice attitude, Vanessa . Let’s run ahead!”

Then came the new system message in front of the party .

Tring-!

[Start of ‘Summoner Pan’s Test II (Career) (Linked)’]

[Spirit ‘Silp’ has been summoned . ]

[Spirit ‘Salamander’ has been summoned . ]

[Spirit weapon ‘Pillar of Earth’ will disappear . ]

* * *

The first gate of Pan, which was a narrow and long passage .

The second gate was entirely different .

“Are you going to climb that tower?”

At the mumbling of Sarah, the second gate was a huge tower .

The tower was of great height; it seemed to be around 20 to 30 story high .

Subsequently, in front of the group of Ian, a quest related to the second gate was created .

Tring-!

-Summoner Pan Test II (Career) (Linked)

After passing the first gate, you have the chance to challenge the second gate .

At the second gate, you will be given a new spirit (Spirit weapon) .

You must go through the gate using the given spirit, and if any of the spirit given to the party dies, then you will fail to pass the gate .

Successfully kill the contaminated spirits and reach the entrance of the third gate .

Quest Difficulty: C+

Quest Condition:

The user who has received the quest ‘Summoner Pan’s Test II’ .

A summoner class or a summoner class member in the party .

Time limit: 20 minutes

*Breakthrough all the monster waves to reach the third gate and complete the quest .

Reward:

Transcendence experience of 125

Fame of 100,000

‘So the choice of choosing a spirit is gone?’

Ian who read the quest window was feeling intrigued .

It was expected what spirit would be given to him .

As Ian had thought, system messages suddenly came to his sight .

Tring-!

[Water Spirit, ‘Undine’ has been summoned . ]

[All the unique abilities of the item that were limited will be restored (Items won’t be restored)]

“Oh oh…!”

The voice of Vanessa who was excited could be heard .

Ian smiled upon hearing Vanessa .

‘Yeah . I want to use the unique abilities attached to the item . ’

Ian seemed to like the place of ‘Pan’s Gateway’ .

He never experienced this before; this was a fresh dungeon .

The dungeons which needed the use of mind were much more interesting than the simple breakthrough dungeon battles .

‘Item’s stats only restore their unique abilities at 0 . ’

Ian was thinking and then changed his gear .

[Item ‘Judgement of Spirit King’ item has been removed . ]

[Item ‘Bloody Revenge’ has been equipped . ]

[Item ‘Dragon Shield’ has been equipped . ]

The biggest drawback of the ‘dragon shield’ equipment was that it greatly reduced the ability of two-handed weapons that were worn .

However, in the current situation where the stats were all set to 0, there was no weapon as efficient as the shield .

‘The indigenous ability attached with the spirit king is surely great but enough to create a variable like the Bloody Revenge . ’

Ian who was done selecting his items looked over at Sarah and Vanessa to see what king of spirits and weapons they were given .

‘Vanessa was given a gnome, and Sarah was given the staff of fire . ’

He also realized another fact .

‘The spirits and the spirit weapons weren’t given randomly . ’

Water had been given to Ian who had wind, and Vanessa who was a fire had been given land .

Lastly, Sarah who was fire had been given land .

They were given the opposite of the attribute they chose at the first gate .

Ian once again felt that the combination that was given at the first gate was the most important one .

Since the first gateway was well balanced, the second would be well balanced too .

Ian smiled while looking at the two sisters .

“Are you ready?”

The twins answered immediately,

“Go!”

“Obviously!”

* * *

If the Fire attribute salamander was a spirit with magic attacks, then the Earth spirit gnome was a pure tanker .

The wind spirit Silp was an offensive supporter, and the water spirit Undine was a full-on support spirit .

-Undine (Water spirit)

Spirit Power: 0/200

Attribute: Water

Rank: Minor Spirit

Summon Duration: 250 minutes (Recall summon time: 300 minutes)

Attack: 65

Defense: 105

Agility: 67

Intellect: 185

Vitality: 3,120

Unique ability

*Blessing of Water (30-second cooldown)

-Blessing of water creates a thin shield on its target . The shield absorbs all the damage and heals the target with the absorbed amount .

The shield lasts for 3 seconds .

*When the spirit power reaches MAX, it evolves to a higher spirit .

(Each time a spell that requires a water attribute is summoned, a certain amount of spirit power is gained . )

*The higher the summoners summoned magic, the longer will be the duration .

Ian was very fond of the unique ability of Undine .

‘On the first gate, there were no unique abilities available . The spirits were the main dealers… now it’s my turn . ’

Taking advantage of the unique powers of the Bloody Revenge and the Dragon Shield, Ian was confident to exert more power than all the spirits together .

For that reason, the unique ability of Undine which was ‘support’ was the most efficient for Ian .

It would be much more helpful to support Ian than to use offensive magic .

Ian started to move into the tower and suggested something to Sarah .

“Sarah . ”

“Huh?”

“I think it is better for you to see the orders this time . ”

At the unexpected suggestion of Ian, Sarah couldn’t help but blink .

“Why so?”

“I don’t know the unique abilities that are attached to the equipment that you have . Sarah, you, on the other hand, you will know the unique abilities of Vanessa . ”

“That is true . ”

“So this time, Sarah . I’ll leave the orders to you . ”

“Well, then…”

Sarah, who received an order position from Ian nodded her head .

There was nothing wrong with it .

However, Ian’s words weren’t done yet .

“Instead, give me a free role . ”

“…!”

“I’ll clear the front for you . ”

‘Free Role’ was a term that was used in soccer, it literally meant ‘unlimited position’ .

Ian would be able to stir around the battlefield freely, regardless of orders and positions .

A position only given to the ace of the team .

Ian was going to head into the game at full speed .
