Chapter 496: The Fall of Chalian 1
The Lich King Chalian episode was meant tost 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 Kwang Jin, one of the chief PDs of the Kan development team.
“Are you ending up in a queue? That monster like a bastard, Ian.”
Yang Kwang 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 Kwang 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 nning team started working even though the episode wasn’t over.
But apart from that, this current development of the game was truly something that nobody from the nning development team had expected.
‘I never thought that thest hurdle would be broken down so easily…’
The st hurdle’ that Yang Kwang 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 n wasn’t actually something that could be ovee by the concepts of gaming such as ‘control’, at least confidently for the ’10 months’.
There were two ways to ovee 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 rtionship 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 rted 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 bepleted without the ability and understanding of the episode.
In the eyes of the developer Yang Kwang Jin, Ian was born just to y 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 nning team.”
Yang Kwang Jin, who got back his calmness, began to focus on the monitor.
He knew that even if one line of code was ced, it would turn into a shortcut for the work.
* * *
– How dare you clutter with the hierarchy of the Gods and their creations?!
Lugarix’s mouth opened, and dark energy got shot to the air.
Kwa Kwakwang-!
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 ced 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 physicalbat 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 wasmon sense that dragons with huge bodies were much more likely to be disturbed when casting spells whenpared 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 ‘ss’.
As the dragon had ‘Magic n’, 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 bes the transcendence being…
-Magic n –
Dragons are born with the ‘magic n’.
Dragons who beplete 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 ss.)
Even the penalties granted to the ‘magical n’, would disappearpletely.
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 ofnguage.
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 flustered because of the ‘special power’ of the dragonnguage 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 dragonnguage 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 God, 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 analyze the magical damage caused by Lugarix.
If he could analyze 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 andughed inside.
Ian was aware of it, but the battle between Lugarix and Chalian wasing to an end.
“Kyaaa, in vain! If it only wants you Lugarix…”
“That assumption is meaningless, Chalian. The moment you broke thew of dimension, you would have been judged by the God 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 ck hole which everything was engulfed.
The energy that entered the mouth of Lugarix was turning into purple, and the mass that was umted was growing into arge 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.
