394 A Strange Quest 3 (1/2)
Specifically for special circumstances such as a large-scale war, Kailan's party system could have a maximum of 20 members.
The same goes with boss raids.
As far as the rewards from a boss raid were concerned, being in a party wasn't that necessary.
The Raid Boss gave out very low experience points, and even its item drops weren't similar to the number of players participating.
Of course, if one belonged to the same team, they would move in a systematic manner and perform more skillfully. In the end, all of them were a team.
Which was why the users who were watching the boss raid were thrilled.
Honestly, users were thrilled because most of the ranked players from the human world participated in the raid.
- This is crazy awesome. Isn't this the first time since the Dimensional War?
- I think so. It was supposed to be a broadcast of the level 450 raid boss, but this is an unexpected turn of events.
- Kya, the day I get to see the duo of Shakran and Ian…! Really happy.
- Me too… who knew the day Shakran and Ian teaming up is upon us.
It wasn't just the netizens, but the users who were on the scene were confused as well.
It was an incredibly powerful boss, and for these rankers to all come as if they promised each other that they would meet up.
”Shakran! Throw a sign for me once the raid is over!”
”Ian! Won't it be nice if you do it instead?! Let's party up!”
The rankers were happily checking up on each other when suddenly...
The Monarch of the Army roared which made the atmosphere of the battlefield feel tense.
[All of you! I'll kill every single one of you!]
A powerful and intimidating roar reverberated throughout the land.
Ian thought to himself after seeing the Monarch of the Army who was under the protection of his Undead Corps.
'Huh, can I use God's Rage here…!'
Ian thought about the myth class equipment—God's Rage—which had been sleeping in his inventory for a long time.
God's Rage was Ian's second myth class weapon. He couldn't use the weapon yet since he hadn't met the condition of being a Noblesse yet.
In fact, Ian had been trying to become a Noblesse already.
However, in order to become a Noblesse class, he had to meet with the Devil King which he hadn't done yet.
Ian visited Liliana in the past, but he didn't have the time now to return to her city.
'Well, it's so upsetting that I can't use it yet.'
Ian climbed on Halli's back as usual while giving Karceus and Bbookbbook instructions.
”Be watchful when using Breath. Stand back”
”Okay, Bbook!”
”Understood, master.”
Until they could find out the skills and attack pattern of the raid boss, it was a good idea to just stay back for now as their skills had a long cooldown time.
”Levya, you wouldn't mind being in the defense right?”
”Not at all, Ian.”
Right beside Levya was the Knight class user—Romur.
”You want us to hold our positions?”
Ian nodded and responded,
”Yes, Romur. Let's observe things first for now.”
”Understood.”
Levya waved her hands in the air once each person's role was determined.
”May the Light fall upon the battlefield.”
Shwoong-!
Then, through the dark clouds in the sky, numerous rays of light penetrated into the battlefield and fell on the users.
[You have received the Light for 15 minutes.]
[Maximum vitality increased by 10%.]
[Defense increased by 5%.]
[While the light is on you, it will absorb 3% of the damage a user receives.]
The users who received the buff became really happy upon receiving it.
”What? Is this a fraudulent buff skill?”
”Was there a skill like this in the Priest's skill list?”
”Wow… well, a first-place ranker is surely on a different level.”
Users were admiring the amazing buff effect they just got.
However, it didn't end there.
Levya who just triggered the buff flew into the air.
Flap-!
The white wings on her back began to light up while raising them high.
Ian who saw it was lost in his thoughts.
'What kind of item is that? Is that some kind of a cloak item.'
If users could fly freely through the air, their chances of making an impact on the battlefield were tremendous.
Of course, it was possible to fly using a pet that had the flight skill, like Karceus that Ian had. However, it was different if a user could fly by themselves.
Ian took out the Judgment of the Spirit King. He then grunted as he ran towards the Undead legion with Halli.
'Oh, Where the hell did that Hoonie go? It would have been a lot easier if the Hargasus was summoned.'
The Fusion skill of the Dark Summoner could only be activated when the contractor—Hoonie—was present.
Among them were the Hargasus' ability to fly and descend, and that made Hoonie's absence more upsetting to Ian.

”Oh ho, so you want to find the old document about Lugarix, the Dragon of Darkness.”
”Huh. I would like to see the documents of Kades and the Immortal as well as Lugarix. Somehow I need to make the dragon choose my side.”
Hoonie told Lilson the whole story about the quest, its progress, and the plot of Kades.
Lilson—a Lotus Guild member—didn't have much information to share to Hoonie.
Lilson was amazed by the story that Hoonie just told him.
”Wow… NPCs are trying to scam users now?”
”I know right. Was he even conscious of it? I almost followed the game without thinking too much about it. Hyung, you should be careful too.”
Lilson touched his forehead and said,
”Yeah. I need to be careful too. I haven't received such a fake quest yet…”
Lilson began to search through his inventory.
”Wait a minute. I'll take a look at my inventory. There's certainly some books or artifacts related to this quest of yours.”
”Okay, please help me out hyung.”
As Lilson searched through his inventory, items started to pop out of it.
Tok- totok- tok-
