Chapter 351: Appearance of the Fusion ss – 2
Hoonie’s eyes were shinning.
“Oh ho…! We are included in a worldwide message!!”
Ian responded with a silly expression.
“Yeah, is that really what’s important now? We need to do this quickly. Start reading from the beginning of the Skill window.”
“Shit! okay…”
Hoonie immediately opened the skill window.
Ian was already reading the details of the Fusion Skill.
‘The Dark Bondage is like a… is like a maze that temporarily limits the movements of objects. This isn’t so special…’
Ian’s interest was on the other two skills that were ssified as the fusion skill.
The Dark Bondage was a normal skill, so it didn’t make much difference for them, while the other two skills werepletely different and unknown from the most basic Dark Summoning skill.

‘It is a skill that can only be used in a y if both Hoonie and I are together… right?’
Since the level of the skill was too low, it was still impossible for them to recall a myth or legendary creatures. However, the skill would be of great help.
Ianughed a lot in the inside.
‘For a while, I will be the one who’ll need more help than Hoonie’
The reason for it was very simple.
Among all the summons that Ian possessed, the only one below the rank of Hero was Halli.
Inyman’s term, the only familiar that Hoonie could use from Ian was Halli.
Ian on the other hand had abundant resources to call.
Hoonie had normal skeletons, and he used various levels of Undead.
Especially the Death Knights and the named Undead were all Hero ranked except for ‘Bm’, so Ian could summon the death knights.
Hoonie who was reading the skill window right next to Ian was grumbling with a pouty face.
“What is this? Another skill that is advantageous to hyung? There is nothing apart from Halli that I can call from your familiars.”
Ian smiled and responded.
“It is a good thing, and I get to recall your Undead right?”
“That’s what I’m saying…!”
“If you’re so unhappy, then you should start hunting with me and increase the level of the Fusion Skill.”
Hoonie’s face turned red.
“Huh? What the hell?”
“Didn’t you read the skill window thoroughly?”
Ian continued.
“If we manage to go beyond skill level 5, you can then replicate the legendary summons. If you shoot up to level 10 up to the MAX level, then you can even have a myth ss.”
Hoonie’s expression brightened.
“If you shoot up to the MAX, then this is a much more advantageous skill for you. I have two myth grade familiars, and you still haven’t got a single myth grade.”
Because of thest thing that Ian said, Hoonie responded harshly.
“Huh, wait and see. With what I received from the Daedmon quest, I will do one more personal quest and then upgrade my Bem to a higher Knight.”
What Hoonie just said made Ian ask.
“Oh…? So is Bam a myth ss now?”
“Huh, you didn’t think so?”
When hunting with Hoonie, Ian often preferred Bam.
There was something nice about the Death Knight, and they were fun to use in a hunt.
However, unlike the normal image of the Death Knight, Bam was a star of all the undead.
Like its name ‘Sovereign Death Knight’.
It literally meant, ‘The Monarch Death Knight’ of the Undead.
A summon which Ian really wanted to call.
‘I need to reach level 5 and control Bam.’
Just by thinking of controlling Bam, Ian started to get excited.
And Hoonie once again spoke.
“By the way hyung, rather than this Dark Recall… the Soul Recall seems to be more efficient, right?”
“Uh, really? Just a minute, I need to read it.”
Ian opened the skill window of the Soul Recall.

In its current state, the Dark Recall skill wasn’t of much use.
The summoning of general to unique didn’t mean much, and only one hero ranked could be summoned.
It was a skill that would be effective only after reaching Level 5.
However, the ‘Soul Recall’ was different.
It was because this was a skill that could be applied to major sses such as Karceus or to retainers like Kaizer and Pauline.
In the case of familiars, it gave the merit to immediately recall the pets before their death.
However, even if it meant the death of a familiar, it was still useful if they could manage to defeat their opponents in a battle.
‘Besides, it can be used to users too…!’
Ian liked that part the most.
It was because Ian had always been very frustrated every time a member of the party died.
The most frustrating thing he experienced was when a ranker with good specs and rank had to die without using the fullest of their abilities.
Besides, except for the divine skills, all the other skills could be used and that was still tremendously good.
This was surely an inefficient skill for those users who couldn’t control their character’s abilities properly.
Hoonie spoke to Ian with an excited face.
“With this skill, I’ll be able to use Ian hyung’s character too, right?”
It was impossible to control the character of another person in the virtual reality game—Kan.
However, with this skill, it would be possible to control Ian’s character, who was now the 1st ranker and the strongest user.
However, Ianughed at Hoonie’s childish wish.
“Huh? You think that’s possible?”
“Why? It’s written here. It applies to users!”
“Hoonie, have you ever seen me die?”
“…!”
Hoonie’s hopes died upon realizing what Ian just said.
“Hyung, it is alright to die like once a month you know?”
“I hate it, idiot.”
“Then how about once every two months…?”
“…”
The two of them—who was currently standing up—sat down and studied the skills thoroughly.
While inbat, the ‘Soul Recall’ skill couldn’t be used immediately, but the ‘Dark Recall’ skill could be used immediately.
Ian saw two messages came up at the same time while the two of them were studying the fusion ss and fusion skill.
[Herz: Jinsung-ah, are you busy now?]
[Fin: Ian, what are you doing now?]
* * *
The Kan servers were full.
All the traffic on the page had been flooded because of the Lotus Guild, and there was an additional bomb like issues.
What was the explosive issue?
The appearance of new content that wasn’t even pre-announced.
Thankfully it wasn’t in the officialmunity of Kan but in the blogs of variousmunities of other games.
And the contents were…
– Lol… Haha…. LB is really amazing… Haha. Don’t they need to announce it in public when new content is being added? Whatever… they are at the top in the market shares, there is no need for publicity, I guess?
– I think so too, LOL, they are in a different ss. To make such huge contents and open them up without any notice. They are amazing.
– Maybe the publicity team wasn’t made aware by the development team about the content? It doesn’t make sense… the other games usually have bulk updates along with high publicity.
– There is no need for such publicity, this is Kan.
Praising Kan were the firstments that could be seen in those blogs. The otherments were…
– By the way, what kind of guy is this Ian?
– Exactly what I wanted to say. Does he y 24 hours a day and try to clear all of the contents?
– Hmm… will it be possible to do in 24 hours?
– Lol. Do you think that it will only take that long to finish the contents of that game? This is a game that scares the shit out of other games.
– Are the skills important in the games? Isn’t it the game that has been going on for the longest time?
– Honey, what prehistoric times are you talking about. That’s all in the past…
– It wasn’t umon for games to be as influential as Kan. With the same specs, experience, and the hunting, other games were rather simr.
– Right. Once a character is at the top ranks then there is a rule… that is to continuously move forward no matter what to maintain the character’s level. No exceptions.
– Guys, Ian can’t be judged by the standard ofments that people give. They need to consider how much he is being praised.
Once again admiration and controversy started because Ian’s name was mentioned in the world message.
Sometimes, the name KanjiHoonie would appear in thements, but they were very few.
It was thought that the Warlock was fortunate enough to be known because of Ian.
Thanks to that, Hoonie who was reading thements was getting angry.
“Whaaaaat!? Why is Ian hyung’s name the only ones that can be seen here!”
Honestly, it was Hoonie’s fault.
In the concept of keeping ‘mystery’ to his name, he still kept his ranking in the private
setting.
So there weren’t that many people who knew Hoonie.
The few people who knew Hoonie were the one he partied up with or watched his performance.
So, the 1st ranker Hoonie, who was 10 times higher than the other warlocks, was unable to get recognition.
“Wah, should I release my ranking too?”
This time, Hoonie wanted to boast to his school friends.
After much thought, he decided to not disclose his ranking.
“Nope, Ian hyung has be famous even though his rank is still in private? I’m a mystery, and I will surely be a famous warlock.”
Hoonie was mumbling something.
But then,
He heard a familiar voice from the other side of his room’s door.
“Hoonie-ah! Dinners ready!”
