Taming Master Chapter 499

“Wow! Should we turn on the TV now?”

Na Ji-chan who woke up after half a day sat on the couch with a refreshing look.

“Is the battle with the Lich King is going to begin now?”

Falcacio Caster.

Among that, the design of the castle was carried out by the Planning Team 3, which belonged to Na Ji-chan.

Na Ji-chan knew how long it would take from the grounds to the Lich King.

“For an average user it takes around 10 hours, so even if it was Ian, it will take more than 5 hours.”

Na Ji-chan was excited to see the battle between Ian and the Lich King, so he turned on the TV.

Eventually, the Lich King will be matched with Lugarix, but the performance of Ian and Shakran could be seen after the Lich King triggers the enchantment.

Ping-!

The Tv turned on with a familiar sound.

Since the channel was always fixed to YTBC, he didn't have to change it once again.

“Isn't it a bit too early?”

Na Ji-chan scratched the back of his neck with his eyes on the TV.

But the next moment, Na Ji-chan couldn't help but feel shocked.

Not surprisingly, because the screen on the YTBC which was supposed to be the funniest episode of the Lich King wasn't there.

“…!”

At the shocking scene, Na Ji-chan's eyes went wide.

He checked to see if the channel had it wrong, but he could only confirm that the Lich King episode was over.

“What? Did they fail to attack?”

Shocked, Na Ji-chan hastily turned on his smartphone.

To check out the internet article.

After a while, he checked the titles of the articles on the internet and was forced to seem vulnerable.

[With just one try, the Lich King episode has been cleared!]

[Middle-Earth, the emergence of new content?]

[The identity of the Dragon of darkness, Lugarix?]

[Lich King Chalian, turned into a kid in front of Ian God.]

After the disappearance of the Lich King Chalian, the devastated land on the northern part of the Shikar desert started to sprout life.

The snow began to settle down on the darkness covered land.

Many users heard the news and began to move towards the north, as did the NPCs.

Thanks to that, the territory of darkness, which was previously an inhabitable environment began to gain life.

“We sell the Red Ruby Amulet! This is one of the best option! Cheaper than the original cost!”

“We'll build a great house outside the castle of Falcacio! Come to the Rotune Construction Office!”

“I'm looking for two long-distance damage dealers to go to the gargoyle! Only those of level 250 level or higher!”

“A new forge will open in front of the Falcacio!”

And among the vast land of the dark territory, the Falcacio castle where the Lich King resided was the most busiest.

The infrastructure in Falcacio castle was just as good as the giant kingdoms of Lotus and Titan.

But what interesting here was that all the territories that were in the dark had become ‘neutral'.

The developers had set the area as an inviolable area.

No PK was possible in this area, even among those of other races.

Surely the asmodians weren't going to enter the human dimension just yet, but even if the asmodians came, they couldn't attack each other in the area.

Inside the Falcacio stronghold.

In the large vacant lot on the back of the castle, a group of twenty-something users seemed to be gathered.

The elite users of the Titan guild.

Emily, who was standing in front of the group, opened her mouth.

“The Falcacio is really coveted. If it just wasn't for the neutral areas…”

At that, Shakran responded with a smile,

“Didn't you have a deal with Lotus?”

“Well, I wish we had a good deal with Lotus.”

“And, it's upto you to negotiate… I thought we had a good split.”

“That so? I really like the level of the facilities here.”

“I'm going to let you talk all that nonsense here.”

“Huhu, kay master!”

Shakran saying that, smiled and sat on the huge rock.

The others too took a seat one after the other.

They were all waiting for someone.

“Hmm. By the way, I think it is almost the time to come…”

“I know. Why can't I even see the tip of the nose yet…”

But then.

Just while Shakran and Emily were taking their conversation, it got cut with a huge resonating sound that spread.

Woong-!

A portal with a familiar pattern had opened up.

“Kid, you're not that good.”

Shakran rose up laughing as he saw the familiar portal emerged.

The first person to appear was Ian.

As soon as he saw Shakran's face, he waved with a smile.

“Uh, Uncle. Did you rest well?”

“Hey kid, you're going to call me uncle till the end?”

“Hehe, you did ask me to call you hyung…”

“Hyung, hyung it is idiotic!”

After the Lich King episode, the two people turned very friendly and in the meantime, about eleven Lotus guild elite rankers appeared.

After a while.

Shakran who met with Ian, gazed and spoke to him with shiny eyes.

“Okay, kid. The time to fulfill our promise.”

Ian nodded and laughed.

“Sure.”

With that response Ian began to order the Lotus guild members.

Then the guild members moved in unison.

And it was the same for the guild members of Titan.

From the Lotus users to the Titan users.

A total of thirty people looked nervous, and stood around Ian and Shakran.

What were they going to do? Even though they were in a neutral zone, everyone was in a stance that looked like they were going to enter into a battle.

“Okay, let's start then!”

Ian took out something from his inventory and slowly moved it forward.

Three pieces of transparent and beautiful jewels with brilliant, yet radiant light.

They gradually rose into the air, and began to emit much brighter light.

Woong- Woong-!

With brilliant light, three pieces of fragments began to merge into one.

In the process, the purple radiance from the process gradually went down and a large magic circle began to form.

“…!”

Ian looked nervous and adjusted the Judgment of the Spirit King that was in his hand.

System messages then emerged in front of the eyes of Ian, one after the other.

Tring-!

[You have collected all the three pieces of ‘Underworld King's Necklace Fragments'.]

[Intense energy of the dead can be felt.]

[The energy of the dimension has started to move.]

[The border between life and death. The underworld gatekeepers have been revealed.]

Gulp!

In that silence, the sound of someone gulping could be heard.

Nothing could be seen, but everyone could feel the powerful energy that was around them.

10 seconds passed?

Gooo-!

The sound of small ringing went louder, and the vacant lot began to vibrate as if an earthquake was going to take place.

Followed by the magic circle on the floor, black energy rose everywhere.

Swahhh-!

Black clouds with chunks began to grow.

Purple energy overflowed from every direction.

And it felt similar to the time when Chalian appeared.

But the presence of the energy was much more when compared to that time.

‘Underworld King… since it has the King of the Underworld, will it be the highest NPC in the Middle-Earth?'

Ian stared at the black clouds and his eyes were shining.

A loud voice began to rise.

“It is such a clear air. Is this Earth?”

The voice of a man was heard.

Subsequently, the owner of the voice appeared from the black clouds.

It was as dark as black, but had some kind of luster to it, it seemed like clouds made of black pearls.

With a black armor all over his body, he looked like one of those riders from the Dragon cavalry from the three kingdoms.

Compared to the characters, it was like the equipment?

Ian's eyes met with him and took a step close to him.

Ian opened his mouth with excitement, which was clearly noticeable in his voice and said,

“Are you the King of the Underworld?”

The gaze of the man moved to Ian after hearing the voice.

“Oho, I guess it is you.”

Subsequently, Ian responded with a puzzled expression after hearing an unexpected response.

“Uh…?”

“The guy who called me to this.”

“Ah, right…”

“Hmm…”

“But, can you answer my question now?”

“What?”

“The thing about the King of the Underworld.”

“Ahah, then what can I say?”

The man with his chest stretched out was smiling with a grin.

“Right. I am Mukan, the seventh King of the Underworld.”

At that moment, the body of the king was suddenly caught on fire while he was still conversing with Ian.

“…!”

The very same time, black smoke rose before Ian.

“Careful!”

What just happened wasn't known, but Mukan just got teleported with the black smoke.

Ian took a defensive position, and put up his spear out of reflex.

And suddenly, Mukan appeared right in front of Ian, and looked at Ian with wide eyes.

“Hmm, this a bit weird…”

“What, what are you talking about?”

“You are not a warlock.”

“That is right.”

“But I smell death from you.”

Ian didn't understand it right away, but he soon understood what was being talked about.

‘Ah, the fusion class.'

Ian nodded and replied,

“Tha is right. I am a dark summoner.”

“Oh ho…!”

Mukan nodded at the response and took a step back.

He shook his head and opened his mouth with a regretful voice,

“That is sad.”

“What is it again?”

“I don't understand how you managed to collect the fragments and summon me, but I can't help a half dark.”

“What are you talking about?”

Ian was bewildered at what he heard.

On contrary, even Mukan was shocked.

“Didn't you summon me to get my strength?”

“No?”

Hoonie who was next to Ian; raised his hand up and tried to speak up, but was stopped by Ian.

“I , want to have it!”

“Shut up, idiot.”

And it was only natural for Mukan to look flustered at the silly thing.

“What are you guys doing then? Then why did you call me?”

Ian left Hoonie over to Yu Shin for management.

He turned back to Mukan.

“The reason I called the King of the Underworld…”

Ian took a moment to speak, and then spoke one words after other.

“To open the path that leads to the Underworld.”

At that moment, Ian's words ended.

It was almost the time of the whole world had stopped, everyone had stopped moving at once.

The only thing that hadn't stopped was the King, Mukan.

“Kuah, hahaha!”

It was so pleasant that it made Mukan burst out into laughter.

After a while, Mukan, took over a completely different mood and opened his mouth,

“I met a human who wants to enter the afterlife…”

“…”

“Do you want to know how to enter the Underworld?”

“That's right.”

At the answer from Ian, Mukan laughed softly and answered,

“There are two ways to enter the Underworld.”

“…?”

“First, if it is okay to do. If I put this crescent blade through your heart, you can go to the Underworld right away.”

Mukan wielded the moon blade weapon and threatened him.

The next words, however, made the party of Ian much more nervous.

“Second, triumph over me. If you fight me and win, I'll take you to the Underworld directly.”
