The Lich King Chalian episode was meant to last for at least a year .
In addition, even the working developers were expecting around 9 to 10 months for clearing the game, as quickly as possible .
And it was the same with Yan Kw.a.n.g Jin, one of the chief PDs of the Kailan development team .
“Are you ending up in a queue? That monster like a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Ian . ”
Yang Kw.a.n.g Jin was muttering to himself while staring at the small screen TV that was inside the development team's studio .
Inside the screen was a giant dark dragon that was roaring .
Kyaaa!
In fact, Yang Kw.a.n.g Jin, a senior PD and lead developer, had been involved in the development of the next content for a long time .
As soon as the affinity with Lugarix and Ian had reached the maximum limit, the planning team started working even though the episode wasn't over .
But apart from that, this current development of the game was truly something that n.o.body from the planning development team had expected .
'I never thought that the last hurdle would be broken down so easily…'
The 'last hurdle' that Yang Kw.a.n.g Jin was talking about was the temporary attack from Chalian .
The Boundary Distortion that temporarily changed the dungeon's dimension type to the 'Middle-Earth' .
The difference caused by this plan wasn't actually something that could be overcome by the concepts of gaming such as 'control', at least confidently for the '10 months' .
There were two ways to overcome the dark enchantment .
The first one was to break through the front .
Before the user can hit the episode, the media content progressed to some extent and would raise the transcendence level equivalent to that of Chalian .
But in order for that growth to happen, a year was enough time .
Therefore, it could be said that it was a very meaningful method .
The second was to bring a 'transcendental being' into the dark enchanted region .
That was actually the key to clearing the Lich King episode .
A transcendence being that is in a hostile relations.h.i.+p with Chalian and make the being deal with Chalian .
Just like Ian had brought Lugarix .
'Finding Lugarix quest and clearing it . Increasing the affinity was obviously not easy…'
Ian was a special case .
'Hoonie' was in the quest that was related to the Dragon of Darkness, and so the main quest was in progress .
There was the quest 'Tame the new Dragon of Light, Elcarix' which was the only way for the increase of affinity with Lugarix .
The original 10 months time given could've been cut by half .
It was a fortune, it was the result that could never be completed without the ability and understanding of the episode .
In the eyes of the developer Yang Kw.a.n.g Jin, Ian was born just to play the game .
“Ehhh, I've got to stop thinking about useless stuff and get to work . This time, I've got the headcount, so the next piece of content will be a bit hardcore by the planning team . ”
Yang Kw.a.n.g Jin, who got back his calmness, began to focus on the monitor .
He knew that even if one line of code was placed, it would turn into a shortcut for the work .
– How dare you clutter with the hierarchy of the G.o.ds and their creations?!
Lugarix's mouth opened, and dark energy got shot to the air .
Kwa Kwakw.a.n.g-!
The range wasn't wide, but the power of destruction was just as strong as the Breath of a dragon .
Chalian who managed to avoid it with Blink opened his mouth with a trembling voice,
“Uh, You're Lugarix? How are you here…?”
Before Chalian placed the enchantment of the field, Lugarix was active on the battlefield .
But he helped Ian without manifesting into his real body .
That was the reason why Chalian hadn't noticed the presence of Lugarix .
Then why was Lugarix battling with the polymorphic form?
It was for a simple reason .
Rather than using the physical combat attacks in the normal body, using the variety of dark magic in the human polymorphed state would be more helpful in the battle .
Surely, magic could be cast even in the form of a dragon, but the casting of magic was much better in the human form .
It was common sense that dragons with huge bodies were much more likely to be disturbed when casting spells when compared to the small bodies of humans .
But not now .
The enchantment cast by Chalian made it possible to use the power of the Middle-Earth…
“Darkness, burn it all!”
Hwrrrk-!
The exclusive possession of the dragons and one of the highest tiers of transcendence .
He could use the 'Dragon Language Magic' .
“Kuaakkk!”
Chalian screamed in pain as he was getting engulfed in darkness .
Chalian, the king of the dead, was indifferent to suffering . He was unable to endure the darkness of his own origin which was burning him .
The expedition users who witnessed it were looking at the Lich King with a dazed expression .
“Wow…”
“Awesome…”
And among them; specifically, the magician users, the degree of surprise was even more high for them .
Lugarix was showing a very high level of magic .
“Crazy, that is almost a scam…”
“It is almost like a cheat-key?”
The Dragon Language Magic, in a simple word, is a form of transcendence magic that was of the basic concept of 'cla.s.s' .
As the dragon had 'Magic Clan', the magic weapons interacted with the element itself .
Because of that, unlike the magic that the users speak, the power to change the ark of the magic was high .
Moreover, the moment it becomes the transcendence being…
-Magic Clan –
Dragons are born with the 'magic clan' .
Dragons who become complete can use higher magic in proportion to their intellect and can learn new spells through the spellbooks .
(However, the power is less than the power of the magician cla.s.s . )
Even the penalties granted to the 'magical clan', would disappear completely .
Instead of using the human-generated 'Magic meant for humans', they would use the dragon magic .
So the power of Lugarix's offensive magic seemed to be much more powerful .
However, apart from that fact, the greatest reason for the users to be astonished was not because of the strong power of the magic of language .
It was a more powerful magic and it was an obvious thing that came along with the move to the higher content .
However, they were fl.u.s.tered because of the 'special power' of the dragon language spells .
The power was…
“How is it able to use magic without even casting?”
'Casting Time' a weakness that magicians had to follow, however that didn't exist in the dragon language magic .
Of course, the ranker wizards who cast could reduce their casting time by the use of the magic items, the casting time could be reduced to almost nothing .
The difference between almost nothing and nothing was really huge .
Lugarix, who was now a magician was pouring out three to four attack spells at once .
“Believe in the Trivial powers and do this…”
Everytime Lugarix began to cast, a painful scream came out of Chalian's mouth .
“Rid of the Soul!”
“Keu, no!”
“In the name of the Dragon G.o.d, I punish you!”
It was like seeing a fight between a child and an adult .
The vitality of the raid monster Chalian was abnormally high, and he had been holding on for a long time .
The battle between Chalian and Lugarix was surprising enough for the use of the 'battle' .
All the dark magic that Chalian had used were scattered by a single gesture of Lugarix, and the vitality gauge of Chalian was falling down each time Lugarix's verbal spells exploded .
And it was a known fact not just to Ian but all the users, and there was a reason why it was affecting Chalian to the extreme .
That was it .
In fact, Lugarix was the perfect natural enemy for Chalian .
The verbal spells had the ability to disable the spells of the same tier magic of the lower tier, and unfortunately, the attributes of Chalian was dark .
The level of transcendence was more than doubled for Lugarix, and it was only natural that Chalian was being rod down .
Ian was staring at the appearance without much difference from the users, and he suddenly opened the party system messages .
It normally didn't open as it would be an interference with the battle, but in such a situation the options were wide for the onlookers .
[Dragon of Darkness 'Lugarix' has done fatal damage to the Lich King Chalian!]
[Vitality of Chalian has been reduced by 143,265!]
[Vitality of Chalian has been reduced by 178,273!]
Everytime Lugarix cast magic, numerous system messages were pouring in .
Ian looked at them in detail and was interested .
'Even in the transcendence level of 40, the damage is over 100,000 units?'
In the meantime, Ian began to a.n.a.lyze the magical damage caused by Lugarix .
If he could a.n.a.lyze the damage of Lugarix; the transcendence level of 45, he could see how much the stats would rise with each level .
And it was the thought that came to Ian as he was such a person .
'Keu, if the transcendence level is at 100, it will do much more damage than the level 500 of a human dimension . You'd need to have a high number to survive the blow . '
Ian smiled and laughed inside .
Ian was aware of it, but the battle between Lugarix and Chalian was coming to an end .
“Kyaaa, in vain! If it only wants you Lugarix…”
“That a.s.sumption is meaningless, Chalian . The moment you broke the law of dimension, you would have been judged by the G.o.d anyway . ”
As soon as Lugarix said that, purple energy began to whip around the body of Chalian .
The purple energy turned into chains and the whole body of Chalian was being trapped in them .
“Kuek- Keuk-!”
Chalian was groaning in pain as his whole body was being bound with purple chains .
And seeing such a satisfying figure of Chalian, Lugarix opened his mouth,
“Stop it now, and go back to nothingness . ”
Huge dark energy that was inside the 'Falcacio Stronghold' was getting sucked inside the mouth of Lugarix .
A magnificent view of the black hole which everything was engulfed .
The energy that entered the mouth of Lugarix was turning into purple, and the ma.s.s that was acc.u.mulated was growing into a large sphere as time went .
Goooo-!
With a huge intense resonance, a sound was enough to make the entire dungeon vibrate .
The breath of Lugarix went to engulf the bounded Chalian .
