202 A Secret Deal 3 (1/2)
At the words that there was a condition, Ian slightly frowned.
”A condition? What kind of condition is required?”
”You need a stat called 'Magical Beast Affinity'.”
At the name of the stat that he was hearing for the first time, Ian's two eyes slightly rounded.
”Magical Beast Affinity?”
Iriel nodded her head as she continued her explanation.
”Yes, Magical Beast Affinity. You can just think of it as a stat that plays a similar role as the Affinity stat that normal Summoners have.”
Affinity was a stat that was required in order to capture higher-rank monsters.
There were even cases where with some high-ranked monsters, if your Affinity was too low, it was impossible to even try capturing them.
In Ian's case, as most of his Familiars were individuals that he had obtained through quests or a special route, he was able to obtain Familiars that were even Legendary-ranks with his comparatively low Affinity up until now.
”I see, so then, in order to obtain that stat, what do I need to do? Do you know how to get it, Iriel?”
Iriel smiled.
”Of course.”
And Iriel began her explanation on 'Dual Classes'.
”Firstly, Ian, you need to become Half-Human, Half-Devil. Once that's the case, you can obtain something called Dual Classes.”
”Dual Classes, huh…”
Ian already had somewhat of an understanding on the content related to Dual Classes from the patch note that came attached to the new update announcement, but he focused even more and listened intently to Iriel's words.
”Yes. And if you go to the City of Rage that exists in Zone 100 of the Devildom, there is a Class Guild where you can obtain all sorts of classes of the Devildom. You just need to obtain the class called 'Devil Summoner' there.”
”Zone 100 of the Devildom… The City of Rage… Devil Summoner…”
Ian diligently mumbled as he shoved all of the information that came out of Iriel's mouth into his brain.
As the information that came out on the patch note was incredibly fragmentary, this information that Iriel was passing over to him felt even more like the sweetest essence.
'No matter what, as soon as the large-scale update is finished and the Devildom opens up, I should clear the quest of Yankoun, the Chief Gatekeeper of the Devildom, first. It's a system where you need the Pure Blood of the Devil first in order for everything to start.'
While Ian was thinking diligently, Iriel's words continued.
”That 'Ancient Illustrated Book of Magical Beasts' I gave you will probably be of big help to you, Ian.”
”Thank you.”
While responding, Ian slightly opened the Illustrated Book of Magical Beasts. And both of his eyes shone.
'There is as much of a variety of magical beasts as there are monsters that exist in the human world as well. Once I succeed in class-changing, I should read it carefully.'
Iriel once again opened her mouth towards Ian, who was skimming through the illustrated book.
”And Ian, it's time for you to obtain information on the devils now.”
At Iriel's words, Ian, who remembered that the Beginnings of the Devils Quest was a connected quest, nodded his head.
”Please continue. If it is something that I can do, I will help you.”
”Thank you, Ian.”
As Iriel's response ended, a new quest window popped up in front of Ian at the same time a quest notification sound rang out.
Ring-.
• The Beginnings of the Devils II (Hidden) (Connected)

She wants you to sneak into the Devildom and survey their movements.
Infiltrate into the 'City of Rage' that is in Zone 100 of the Devildom, and go and meet, 'Seraphim', the 'Half-Devil' and Noblesse-rank devil.

Quest Difficulty Level: SS

Time Limit: None
Reward:
*This quest cannot be rejected.
Ian, who read through all of the quest content, had a part that he didn't understand at first sight.
'What the hell? I'm supposed to block the beginnings of the devils, but I have to get the help of a devil that's even a Noblesse-rank?'
However, it seemed that Iriel caught onto Ian's question, as she immediately explained.
”Seraphim, is a hero of the human world that drank the Pure Blood of the Devil and became a devil by turning into a 'Half-Human, Half-Devil' 100 years ago.”
”I see…”
”And it was like this a thousand years ago as well, but not all devils want to invade the human world. Amongst the devils, there is a section of them with destructive tendencies that enjoy invading the human world. We call them 'destructive devils'.”
Ian wore a puzzled expression.
'What the hell? I thought that devils were no different from monsters that have a fundamentally hostile attitude towards humans just like magical beasts… But is that incorrect?'
Iriel's words continued.
”Ian, what you must do now is help Seraphim and I and rally together the regular devils that want peace, and then prevent the invasion of the 'destructive devils' into the human world.”
At the feeling that he received an incredible mission where he somehow needed to save the human world, Ian wore an extremely shocked expression for a moment.
”This is something tremendous.”
Iriel laughed.
”If you succeed, you basically become a hero that has saved the human world from the destroyers of the Devildom, so it certainly is an amazing task.”
”Ha… Haha…”
Iriel stood face-to-face with Ian, who was laughing awkwardly.
”And if the destructive devils can be completely uprooted through this opportunity, it's possible that an exchange between the human world and Devildom could form for the first time.”
Ian thought to himself.
'Is it possible that this quest could change the playing board of all of Kailan?'
