Ian squeezed his lower lip with his fingers and began to think again.
No matter how flustering it was, he wasn't going to kill himself rushing into it.
Ian bounced back into the air.
Tatt-!
Where Ian stood prior, a huge stone got struck.
Thud-!
Ian escaped through the scattering rocks and moved back and forth while trying to avoid the rock monsters.
He needed much more accurate information about the situation.
'The key surely didn't drop from the monster I just killed.'
There were two possible scenarios.
One, the guy Ian killed wasn't wearing a key necklace around him at all, or maybe the drop didn't happen as the guy was wearing one.
If the latter was the right one, then the situation turned rather difficult.
To hunt one who had a key on his neck meant that no key would drop.
Ian's expression, which had confirmed the body of the fallen monster, was slightly distorted.
'Dammit. This is difficult…'
The first guy Ian took down had a necklace hanging around his head.
'If so, I need to check it for sure…'
Ian moved quickly.
The eight rock attribute monsters were still on the battlefield. It was necessary to figure out how many of them even had the keys.
As a result, all those who had a necklace of a key on their necks had to be killed.
Kung-! Thud-!
Massive fists made of rocks fell one after the other in succession toward Ian.
However, due to the agile movements of Ian, those attacks didn't even touch him.
Ian looked around the battlefield.
Kung-!
An additional rock monster had been summoned.
Ian quickly looked over at the neck of that guy.
”…!”
There was no key.
Ian, who saw it, smiled.
'Nice. There is a chance then…!'
The number of rock monsters that were summoned when the room had been built was eight.
Despite killing one, the number of rock monsters currently summoned was nine.
Six minutes after opening the room, one more monster started to grow. However, Ian's expression got a bit dark.
It was because he still seemed to have a good chance of winning.
'The remaining time is approximately 24 minutes…'
In Ian's head, the information so far had been summarized into three.
First, two additional monsters have been summoned since Ian had entered the room, and neither of them had any key around their neck.
Second, all eight existing monsters had the keys around their necks.
Third, Ian took about 4 to 5 minutes to kill just one. On the other hand, it took around two to three minutes for the rocks to regenerate.
An information that could be considered as nothing special, but Ian was able to think of a few alternatives with that information.
It allowed him to write some scenarios and come up with the most efficient strategy.
'I don't want to touch those guys who are going to regenerate again in the future. As soon as possible, I'll have to kill eight of them.'
Ian already killed one of them and seven rock monsters remained.
Ian took four to five minutes to kill just one, so killing all seven of them would take 30 minutes.
By the time only two golems remained, the regeneration speed of the monsters would increase rapidly.
'By the time only one of them remains, almost fifteen new golems will be created.'
After completing his calculations, Ian bit his lip.
If he was lucky and the key drops, there wouldn't be much difference, but if it was the last one which had the key, then the fight wouldn't be easy.
Ian didn't intend to leave the quest in the hands of luck.
Due to the nature of Ian, he already assumed the worst-case scenario.
'I shouldn't go behind one. Somehow I need to shorten the kill time.'
Piping-!
With the longbow in his hands, arrows began to hit the targets.
Surprisingly, however, the arrows were going toward different targets.
Puck-!
Seven arrows were shot, and seven golems had been hit by those arrows.
***
The 'fire' attribute couldn't damage the 'rock' attribute.
It was because it would lose half of the power in the relation.
Then why did Ian continue to use the fire spirit magic despite being able to swing his spear with normal type attacks?
The answer was simple.
Despite the loss of power, the magic DPS was slightly higher.
In addition, the weapon had to be used in a close range, but the fire arrows were ranged ones.
If Ian used the arrows, the risk of getting hit would be lower.
Nevertheless, there was a specific situation for which weapon had to be used.
And that was when all of the spirit power got exhausted.
'I can't help it. To push the DPS to the limit…!'
Currently, Ian's transcendence spirit magic was just over a thousand.
And the Infernal Fire magic spell consumed 100 transcendence spirit magic each time it got triggered.
Assuming that Ian's arrows wouldn't miss, a total of 200 shots would consume all of his spirit magic.
Of course, the spirit magic would continue to rise over time, but even after considering that, it meant that magic couldn't be used indefinitely.
Ian had been using spirit magic as efficiently as possible.
Once the ten marks exploded, the Infernal Fire's cooldown would be finished, and the spirit magic would be reactivated only after the remaining arrows were used.
When he built up a mark with Agbi, he actually shot five arrows with marks, and the marks carefully stacked up. He tried to shoot the remaining 20 arrows without missing.
'However, this is the only way for me to change the strategy.'
Ian relentlessly shot his arrows and began to drive the rock monsters into a corner.
Until now, his strategy was to cut down one monster after the other, but he now decided to randomly hit one.
Ian, who had been pulling his right hand with a lot of thought, now began to pull the string of the bow without hesitation.
Piping-!
With unbelievable speed, the arrows began to scatter into the air.
