While moving to the Windy Plains, Ian asked Vanessa a few more questions .

He found some interesting facts .

“So the guy we are riding on… is called the 'Earth Dragon'?”

At the question of Ian, Vanessa nodded with a proud expression and smiled .

“Right, Ian . This is the guy I received after clearing all the linked quests of the 'Earth's Savior' . It was a super unique hidden quest which I received directly from the G.o.d of Earth . ”

“That… so?”

“However, it is a quest that can't be received anymore, so if you're planning to get Cortus, it's better to just let it go . ”

At the story of Vanessa, Ian looked puzzled .

“Why? You got it in the German server, and I'm from the Korean Server . So can't a land dragon be obtained in my Korean server?”

Vanessa clapped her hands and then spoke again .

“Even then, everything remains the same . ”

“Why?”

“At the point where the Dimensional war had long ended, you cannot get a quest called the 'Blessing of the Land' . ”

After hearing what Vanessa said, Ian nodded .

It was because he understood her words . However, he was thinking about something else .

Vanessa's story was able to draw a few facts .

Ian thought of a memory that was deep in his mind .

'The G.o.d Dragon of land in the Korean server… wasn't Cortus . '

In fact, Ian tried to remember the G.o.d Dragon the moment he saw Cortus .

A dragon with beautiful dark green scales was the only G.o.d Dragon that was seen very briefly in the dimensional war .

But after hearing the name 'Cortus', Ian thought that maybe what he saw wasn't a G.o.d Dragon .

The G.o.d Dragon of land in the Korean server was named 'Miaica' and not Cortus .

'The existence of the G.o.d Dragons are the same in the servers, but each of them had a unique name and ident.i.ty . '

A weird thought came to Ian's mind .

'If I meet the new G.o.d dragons from other servers in the Dragon Haven, can I tame two of the same attribute dragons?'

He had another question he was curious about .

Ian smiled to himself and asked,

“Then, Vanessa?”

“Huh?”

“Do you remember the name of the Land G.o.ddess?”

Vanessa narrowed her brows as she heard Ian's question .

Since it had been a long time ago, she didn't seem to come up with a name .

“Uhmm? Nope, I don't remember . ”

“Ah . ”

“But there is one thing that I can surely say . ”

“That a Land G.o.ddess doesn't exist . The G.o.d of land was surely a man . ”

“Huh?”

Ian's eyes were twinkling a little as he heard that .

Though he didn't find the answer to his question, he found out what he was curious about .

His hypothesis was indeed right .

'If the G.o.d of Land is a man… then surely it is different from the G.o.ds of the Korean server . '

At the time of the dimension war, Ian was in the center of the episode compared to any other user .

He clearly remembered all the G.o.ds who had made an appearance .

In the memory of Ian, the G.o.d of Land was surely a woman .

The Land G.o.ddess, Sandiana .

Ian had been right in front of her, so he saw her very clearly .

'If that is so, then all the G.o.ds that govern the human dimension on each server are individual?'

Ian's conversation with Vanessa allowed him to get a nice outline on the worldview .

After a while, Ian and his party had reached their destination .

Tring-!

[Entered the 'Windy Plain' . ]

[Strong winds are blowing in your direction . ]

[The spirits of 'wind' attributes are stronger in here . ]

[From now on, the magic attacks of 'wind' attributes are stronger . ]

[From now on, the spirits with 'wind' attribute will now scale 50% faster . ]

Checking the messages, Ian started to get excited .

'Uh, I wish I had a wind spirit right now . '

With a light gesture, he jumped off the back of Cortus .

Tat-!

Ralph who arrived there first approached Ian .

“Friend, is this your first time here?”

“That is right . ”

“Then from now on, we will take over the planning . ”

Looking at Ralph, Ian nodded .

“Well, first… let me hear it, then we'll see . ”

It was only natural, but it wasn't just Ian who was wary of the strangers .

While arriving at the Windy Plains, Ralph's party talked a lot .

Ralph: Do any of you know those guys?

Chesk: Nope? I know no one of those three?

Ralph: Still, they would have to be rankers… not even a single one of them is known?

Inisco: Ralph hyung, you think there are just one or two people in the server rankings? There are many rankers . How can we know all of them?

Muel: Yeah, Ralph oppa . Yesterday's statistics show that there are more than 1,000 users with a level above 400… summoner level of 400 is very rare, but for a knight to be of level 400 is quite common .

Ralph: But…

Inisco: And Ralph hyung, you said that the guy was a knight a while back .

Ralph: Well?

Inisco: They would've entered with huge luck on their side and that special quest .

Ralph: That could be .

Inisco: From what I know, the summoner with the twins is probably level 400 .

Ralph: That… so?

Inisco: Of course . I know most of the summoner rankers in the top, and she wasn't one of them .

Chesk: Hmm, Inisco is right . And then, the other two friends would be in the late 300s or something .

Ralph and his party tried to figure out things about Ian and his party and concluded it to some extent .

The conclusion was very far from the truth .

Ralph: Hmm… if this is so, it is still a bit vague .

Inisco: Vague? Why?

Ralph: Those friends, they seem like they'll be a burden .

Chesk: In that case… it would certainly be so .

Inisco: Well, it may be so . There is no way the rankers can save a person .

Muel: I think a bit different .

Ralph: Hmm, yeah?

Muel: If it was the human dimension there could have been a huge difference, but this is the Middle-Earth .

Ralph: That is true .

Muel: And the level of transcendence is similar, then it doesn't mean that there is a big difference between us?

Inisco: Ah, Muel . That isn't it .

Ralph: yeah . Inisco is right .

Muel: Why?

Ralph: Levels and stats are important, but the difference in physical power may be too much to cover .

Chesk: Right . Even if they are rankers, it is difficult to compare us with some two-digit or three-digit rankers . They could be of help on the Windy Plains but, won't they be a burden the moment we enter the valley?

Muel: Uhm…

Inisco: Right, Muel . You can go into their party while entering the Abyss Valley, and then you will get killed along with them .

The wrong conclusion of Ralph's party was the biggest mistake .

Ralph: But since they have come here, don't we have to use them somehow?

Inisco: That is right, hyung . It will be embarra.s.sing to come all the way here and move away separately because of the level .

Chesk: So, you're not going to let them join us? The content is a bit lacking for us, and do you plan on sharing it with them?

Ralph: No way .

Muel: …

Chesk: Then what?

Ralph: I have a nice idea .

Inisco: What is that?

Ralph: The gorge of the gusts in the Abyss Valley . Do you remember that?

Inisco: Of course . We got whisked there, and then we got sent back to the frost cave .

Chesk: …!

Ralph: Leave the monsters in there to those people .

Inisco: Ah, that is a good idea .

Ralph: And then we'll cross over the Abyss Valley .

Both sides had no idea they were thinking about each other .

Apart from that, the party began to move smoothly .

Anyway, the purpose of crossing the plains was shared, so they had no conflict .

And interestingly, Ian was playing the role of a tanker with not even a single summon .

“Ian, Please cover Chesk!”

“Ian, let's move straight through the middle! Take the lead!”

Ian had the b.l.o.o.d.y Revenge in his right hand and the Dragon s.h.i.+eld in the left .

Ian had myth rank transcendence weapons in both of his hands . He was showing a perfect play which would make anyone believe that he was a knight .

Kw.a.n.g-!

['s.h.i.+eld Block' has been successful!]

[Absorbed 93 . 35 percent of the power 'Wind Slash'!]

[Vitality reduced by 12!]

['Wrath of the Dragon' unique ability has been triggered . ]

[Attack damage increased by 0 . 5 percent . ]

The biggest role of a knight cla.s.s user was 'how much stable damage can you receive alone' .

The requisite for that role was the ability to control the s.h.i.+eld .

Even with the same amount of defense and vitality, the total amount of damage that could be dealt with was depending on how well one controlled the s.h.i.+eld for blocking, and it varied a lot .

Knight cla.s.s users with control and block had 80 percent absorption rate, while physically degraded knights often have less than 50 percent of absorption .

Even with the same equipment and stats, the difference in efficiency could be doubled all depending on the control .

The user's s.h.i.+eld blocking control skill of the knight was clearly visible .

Because of the absorption rate of the s.h.i.+eld, a special effect was triggered .

It was like a calming wave that spread throughout the s.h.i.+eld, an effect that occurred after absorption of more than 70 percent of damage .

Specifically, when more than 90 percent of the damage absorption was triggered, blue colourful waves spread .

If anyone saw the system of it, it would be easy for them to see how good of a knight cla.s.s user he was .

Pang- Pa pang-!

The blue color spread out from the s.h.i.+eld .

And Sarah, who was at the back, thought to herself while biting her lip .

'Don't tell me, are all the rankers on the Korean side of this level? I really can't believe this guy . '

A fresh blue wave would make anyone admired the great knight cla.s.s .

But it was all being done by a summoner . However, from Sarah's standpoint, it was all absurd .

Vanessa: Unnie .

Sarah: Huh?

Vanessa: Those people, do they really believe that he is really a knight cla.s.s user?

Sarah: Wouldn't you believe?

Vanessa: But… if I were them, I wouldn't believe that he wasn't a knight cla.s.s .

Sarah: Me too…

Vanessa: No matter how much I look at him .

Sarah: Right . How are you able to even look at him? He is a monster .

Vanessa: Right . Right .

The twins were eagerly discussing about Ian on a 1 on 1 chat at the party play .

It wasn't just Sarah and Vanessa who were surprised with the play of Ian .

The party of Ralph was chatting in their own private group chat as well .

Chesk: Ralph, those friends… they aren't as bad as we thought .

Ralph: Hmm, think so?

Inisco: The twins are pretty good, but that Ian guy, he is really something, hyung .

Ralph: That definitely is a great level of s.h.i.+eld control .

Chesk: Right?

Ralph: But that is it . He can't use the knight specific skills properly and is trying to solve everything with his s.h.i.+eld control only .

Inisco: Well, I think it is because he likes that s.h.i.+eld too much, maybe he is depending on it that much .

Time pa.s.sed quickly as if they were dreaming differently in the same place .

Three to four hours had pa.s.sed as they tried to break through the spirits of the Windy Plains .

Finally, the end of the windy plains seemed to have come .

At the end was a deep and dark valley that was awaiting the party .
