210 Magical Beast, Rakyel 2 (1/2)
At the unexpected words, Ian was incredibly flustered.
”They're a magnificent material for magical beast reconstruction… Is what you're saying?”
• That's right. And the Rakyel is such a rare breed that if you do not catch it now, there's no way of knowing when you will meet one again.
”…!”
Ian's face changed into a greedy expression.
'Euh… This would be such a waste if I lost the opportunity, what am I supposed to do?'
However, no matter how much he wanted to catch it, it wasn't a situation where current Ian could capture magical beasts.
In addition to not knowing what kind of mechanism reconstruction proceeded with yet, he didn't even know what kind of meaning the ingredient called Rakyel had, but just from Cervian's words alone, he could sense how important of a monster it was.
'Ha… You were supposed to have appeared after I obtained dual classes, why exactly have you appeared now?'
Magical beasts were Familiars that you could fundamentally only handle if you had the blood of a Half-Devil and had the dual-class, the Devil Summoner.
However, Ian couldn't give up easily.
Kyaaooh-!
The Rakyel flapped its large wings as it slowly got up.
And Ian, who met eyes with this giant monster, quickly checked its information.
'I can't see anything specific, but for it to be a high-ranking magical beast at lv 320…'
Ian tightened his grip on his Judgment of the Spirit King.
”Cervian, by any chance, are there any weak points or anything like that for that thing?”
At Ian's question, Cervian immediately responded.
• It's a monster that doesn't have anything like a weak point really, but there's something that you must be careful of.
”What is that?”
After Ian sent Bbakbbak and Karceus to the front and bought himself some time, he listened attentively to Cervian's words.
• Whenever 15% of the Rakyel's maximum Vitality is consumed, its feathers burn up.
”Please speak a little faster! The battle has started now!”
At Ian's urgency, Cervian immediately continued his explanation.
• Its feathers will burn for about 5 minutes, but while its feathers burn, the Rakyel will be immune to all magical attacks. And while it burns a blue flame, it will be immune to physical attacks.
”Does the colour of the flames change back and forth?”
• That I don't exactly know either. However, I think it is random.
Ian, who heard up to this point, charged towards the Rakyel without delay.
'To face a high-ranking, lv 320 Familiar, a certain amount of sacrifice is unavoidable.'
Up until now at least he had been maintaining his fighting power perfectly without losing even one retainer or Familiar, but he didn't think that was possible while facing a lv 320 monster as well.
'By trying to fight without any sacrifices, we might end up getting annihilated instead.'
Ian began to calmly control his Familiars and retainers.
'And that monster, I can't just kill it off.'
Ian still hadn't given up on the impossible task of 'capturing' the Rakyel.

”Whew, have I finally entered the Devildom?”
There was a man with a long English longbow hanging on his back.
The man, who was wearing white leather armour, was looking around Zone 128 of the Devildom in front of the entry portal.
His identity was none other than Samuel Jin.
He, the Guild Master of the Oaklan Guild, had succeeded in entering the Devildom now, when quite a long time had passed since the large-scale update had opened up.
Being someone in the top 10 of the overall rankings, this was an incredibly shameful result.
However, he had enough reason for this.
'Although most of the rankings had escaped to the Devildom, I had no idea that Kaimon would be that strong.'
The west end of the central continent.
The defensive front line of the Luspel Empire that continuously wavered had tied down Samuel Jin by his feet up until now.
At first it seemed that the tactic of organizing groups and taking turns defending was quite effective, but in the end, a crack formed and Samuel Jin, who had the most on the line, had no choice but to continue to support the defense.
'Whew, I am a little late, but if I move on a tight schedule,I should be able to make up some of the difference that's been made.'
Samuel Jin was incredibly disgusted with Martin, who had completely ignored the defensive front line and stepped foot into the Devildom on his own.
'Martin, as expected, is too sly to continuously go in the same boat as him.'
It seemed he didn't know that he could also be seen in the same light as that from Martin's perspective, as Samuel Jin ground his teeth while he slowly walked.
'Let's quickly obtain dual classes first. It seems like there's no one that has obtained that yet, so I will receive it quickly.'
Samuel Jin's out-of-the-blue spirit showed.
However, to be honest, because information related to dual classes was basically nonexistent, it could be considered something like 'brute courage'.
The Rakyel was strong.
Fitting of its 'high-ranking magical beast' title.
It even showed stats that were beyond that as it made Ian struggle.
'Why is this crazy birdbrain so strong?'
On top of it having an outrageous level of 320, as its Devil Energy leaped around due to the Chaos Stone, its destructive power was truly astronomical.
”Damn it, its wings are starting to burn again! Fall back for now!”
At Ian's shout, his Familiars and retainers immediately took a step back.
The flame that was emitted from the Rakyel's wings didn't just give the Rakyel immunity, but as it also temporarily dealt AoE damage, they just needed to dodge it first.
And by a whisker's difference, the Rakyel's wings emitted a blue flame as it began to burn up.
Hwa-reu-reuk-
Ian, who checked the colour of the fire that burned up, made a face.
'Ugh, why is it a blue flame again?'
The difficulty level of the battle itself was hellishly hard, but especially when this thing let out a blue flame, it was a situation where they truly couldn't do anything else but suffer helplessly.
