Chapter 71: (4). The Result of the Bet -3
Ian could tell that the skill was really good.
‘I have read about a similar skill on the Dark Sorcerer page.’
Dark Sorcerers also fought by summoning creatures, so there were so Dark Sorcerers who had
similar class skills to the Summoners.
Ian nodded, it would be helpful when hunting.
However, there was one thing he couldn’t understand exactly.
‘When using the skill for the first ti, the two Linked entities’ Health is balanced. What does that
an?’
Ian decided to use the skill to understand it properly.
‘I just finished a battle, so my pets’ Health all vary…’
Ian checked Ly’s and Big Guy’s remaining Health and activated the skill.
“Ly, Big Guy, Link!”
A red light glowed around Ly and Big Guy. Next, a faint chain appeared between the two pets.
Big Guy’s Health, which was only 30%, started to rise.
“Huh?”
On the other hand, Ly’s Health, which was almost at the maximum thanks to Bleeding, started to
decrease.
Seeing that, Ian imdiately understood.
‘Aha! This is what balancing ans. No matter what the maximum Health is, both parts’ Health
becos the average of their percentage.’
Both Linked pets were given the an of the remaining Health percentage.
The effect’s cooldown ti was three hours and could be used only once, but it seed like it could
be used well.
‘However, it’s a double-edged sword. Now, it was useful because I used it when Big Guy’s Health was
lower than Ly’s, as Big Guy’s maximum Health is high. However, if I Link them when Ly’s Health is
little and Big Guy’s is at the maximum, things can get worse.’
Ian checked the things he needed to consider before using the skill. Then, he looked at the other skill.
‘What is Assimilation?’
The skill’s information window appeared.
[Assimilation]
Category: Active Skill
Skill Level: Lv. 0
Proficiency: 0%
Cooldown Ti: 60 minutes
Lasting ti: 30 minutes
Usage Limit: Can only be used on summoned pets. When the pet is dismissed or released, the skill is
deactivated.
The Summoner is assimilated to the pet.
When Assimilation is applied, the Summoner’s battle stats’ percentage becos the sa as the
pet’s battle stats’ percentage. The Summoner receives an additional 20% of the stat that is highest
among the pets’ stats.
As the Proficiency rises, the cooldown ti decreases and you get more additional stats.
…
Ian finished reading and was interested.
‘My stats’ percentage becos the sa as the pet’s?’
Ian had to try that one as well.
Ian thought for a while and decided to use the skill on Bukbuk.
‘Bukbuk’s stats are the most concentrated on one of them.’
Ian put down the pet.
“Bukbuk.”
Bukbuk stuck its head out of its shell after being called.
Bukbuk-?
Bukbuk was always so cute. That made Ian smile.
“Stay still. I’m going to use this skill.”
Bukbuk nodded.
Ian got ‘permission’ from Bukbuk. He then put his hand on Bukbuk’s shell and used the skill.
“Assimilation!”
A blue light ca out from Bukbuk and was absorbed by Ian.
When the skill was activated, Ian opened his statistics window and checked his stats.
He laughed, “Ha! My stats are really just like Bukbuk’s!”
Counting Defense Force added by his gears, Ian’s Defense Force was almost 1500 now.
‘I am almost as invincible as Big Guy.’
However, his Attack Force and Speed had dropped.
But then…
Buk- Bubuk-!
Bukbuk got excited. It laughed and crawled around Ian.
“What, Bukbuk? What’s the matter?”
Buk-!
Bukbuk looked very happy.
Ian suddenly beca nervous.
‘What? He is even more excited than when eating atballs!’
Then, Ian saw his own hologram right next to the statistics window.
“What the-!”
Ian couldn’t help but shriek!
The hologram looked too shocking.
‘There’s a shell on my back, and my head is so big! I also have beco shorter…’
His stats were not only things assimilated to Bukbuk.
His appearance was assimilated, too!
Ian’s body was now like Bukbuk the big-headed turtle’s.
‘My good looks…’
Ian hastily deactivated the skill.
“Deactivate!”
Huuung-
Ian returned to his usual self again. He let out a sigh of relief.
“Hu… I should try to not use this skill on Bukbuk.”
It didn’t matter, as he probably would use the skill on Ly or Rake.
However, Ian had a bad feeling that he would soday have to use the Assimilation skill on Bukbuk.
‘I will rather use it on Big Guy; I would never use it on Bukbuk, ever.’
anwhile, Bukbuk, who was excited about its master’s funny looks, was sad to see him return
normal again.
Ian glared at Bukbuk, “Why are you laughing?”
Buk-!
Bukbuk’s face said it wanted Ian to ‘transform’ again. Ian frowned, “Was it funny?”
Bukbuk nodded without a second of hesitation.
Bukbuk!
Ian shook his head.
“Do you know why I just changed like that?”
Bukbuk stared at Ian with curiosity. Ian told it the sad truth.
“I have beco like you, you idiot.”
Bukbuk’s eyes started to shake.
It thought of itself as a handso turtle. There was no way it looked so funny.
Buk-!
Bukbuk denied the reality.
Ian played with Bukbuk for a while then soon felt tired.
“Hu, shall I sleep for a few hours now?”
He checked the playing ti, it was almost 60 hours.
Even he could no longer play.
“At least, I finally reached Lv. 90.”
Ian knew how hard it was to raise 3 level from Lv. 90, but it felt different from Lv. 89.
He had reached the 90 and it gave him the strength to continue.
“I should sleep for about 5 hours and then return.”
Ian dismissed all his pets, including the despairing Bukbuk, then logged out.
…
‘Hmm, Yuhyeon said the Virtual Reality departnt is in this building…’
After Harin joined the Lotus Guild, she got more and more close to the mbers.
Jinsung and Yuhyeon especially talked a lot with her as they all went to the sa university.
Harin was a sophomore, but they were all of the sa age, so all beca friends.
‘Anyway, why is Jinsung not reading my ssage? Is he in class?’
It was the first day of the sester.
It was the changing courses week, so Harin’s first class ended early. She had so free ti now.
So, she had co to visit Jinsung and Yuhyeon’s Virtual Reality departnt.
She looked around in the hallway. A lot of students were glancing at her.
‘Was there soone that pretty in our departnt?’
‘What, does she major in Theater and Films? Or is she a would-be star?’
Harin then saw a familiar face, “Oh, Yuhyeon! Yuhyeon, right?”
Yuhyeon was on his way back to the departnt’s student room with Sewon. He was startled from the
voice calling him and turned to that direction.
He was even more startled at seeing the person who called him.
“Uh… uh?”
The person clearly seed to know him.
It was a very awkward situation in which he didn’t know the woman but the woman knew him. He
panicked, ‘But I do not know any girl this pretty…’
He thought like that and was about to say so, but then he suddenly recalled soone.
‘Maybe, she is Harin?’
Harin brightened at seeing Yuhyeon recognizing her, “Wow, you recognized imdiately!”
Then, she complained about soone, “Ha! I haven’t made many changes. He was weird at not
recognizing .”
Actually, Yuhyeon had not recognized Harin by her face.
He had guessed because Harin had sent him a ssage that she would co to visit.
And, apart from that, Yuhyeon and Sewon were both dumbfounded.
From a close distance, Harin was even more beautiful than when seen from afar.
Yuhyeon collected his senses and managed to speak, “You said you will co after all the classes.
Are you done for today?”
Harin shook her head, “No, not that. I have a long break between the classes, so I ca to visit.”
Harin then looked around and asked, “But Yuhyeon, where’s Jinsung?”
“Did he not co today?”
“Huh?”
Harin was going to ask why, but she soon realized the reason and nodded, “He must be playing
Kailan at ho because it is changing courses week.”
Harin now knew Jinsung quite well. Yuhyeon could only laugh.
…
Grey robe.
Black pointed hat and a staff taller than himself. He looked quite funny.
On the North Continent, the Dark Sorcerer CoolHuni was working hard to raise his level.
“Judgent of Darkness!”
A black light ca out of his hand and hit a Lv. 90 White Ogre.
Kwang-!
With large sound, the attack drained the Ogre’s Health.
The Black Skeletons around the Ogre were moving in harmony.
Huni’s battle style was very organized and neat.
His fashion style was a little funny, but his control was impressive.
“Good, my level will rise again soon.”
CoolHuni killed the three White Ogres and sacrificed one of his Skeletons by using Absorbing Soul to
recover his Health to the Max.
Then, he grabbed his hat with one hand and tilted his head.
“Ian, where is he?”
Huni didn’t forget.
The sad mory of the unfair defeat at the Rookies’ League.
He also recalled that turtle with a big head that made him tilt over it and fall.
He clenched his fist, his rage was burning like fire.
“I am Lv. 85, so he must be over Lv. 80 by now.”
Then, he shook his head.
“No, he is a sly Summoner. Maybe he cheated and has gone over Lv. 85 already.”
Huni muttered to himself. Then, he took out soone.
It was a doll that looked like a man.
Huni glared at it and gritted his teeth.
“an bastard, Ian!”
Puk-
Huni hit the doll with his fist. That wasn’t enough. He even used a skill on it.
“Avenge of the Dead!”
However, of course, the skill wasn’t activated on a doll.
Huni stead like that for a while. Then, he put away the doll and moved again to hunt.
‘I must beco stronger to beat that crafty Ian.’
Huni moved with a determined look.
Once the sumr vacation ended, he had been gaining levels slowly.
‘I must try harder.’
If he couldn’t defeat Ian, then he had hunted hard, instead of doing his vacation howork, for
nothing.
Thinking about how he had to stand at the back of his classroom with his hands raised because of the
vacation howork, he felt even more humiliated.
Huni walked a little faster.
