Chapter 597
In the case of the Korean server, comparing the Devils and the Humans, the Humans surely had a very clear advantage .
Rankers and skills, the power of the Lotus Guild and the Titan Guild were way too overwhelming .
However, it wasn’t the case for all the servers .
If one looked at the US server, the Devils were much more powerful than the Humans .
That was the difference between the 1st ranker Kai and the 2nd ranker Ralph .
The difference in Kai and Ralph was just one rank, but the difference in their combat power was huge .
And right then…
Ian, who had faced swords with Ralph, could feel the difference .
‘Strong . This guy is really…!’
When he was against Ralph, Ian could feel that his power was pushing the enemy .
And right now, of course, that was obvious .
Ian, without active skills apart from the sword, was going against a Warrior class—Kai—without the help of any summons to win .
He had to exert everything he had to win .
But for Ian, who went against many Warrior classes in the past, the new thing was a strange experience .
‘I never fought completely with Shakran till now… but to feel this? No . This guy is surely stronger . ’
Right now, Ian’s summons were facing Ryu Chen with Hoonie .
Hoonie had less vitality compared to Ryu Chen, which was why Ian had sent all his summons over there .
Ian’s original plan was to eliminate Kai in a one-on-one while Hoonie went against Ryu Chen along with Ian’s summons .
After taking down Kai, he was planning to help Hoonie kill Ryu Chen for a clean victory .
But Kai’s combat power turned out to be much more troublesome .
It wasn’t the time to be feeling content with how the way things were going .
‘I need to change the plan . ’
Kang-!
Ian, who was smashing swords with Kai, jumped back using the force that their attack had created .
Using the space distortion, he once again changed position with Pin, who was flying in the air .
Kai was flustered because of Ian’s sudden retreat .
He didn’t expect Ian to back out suddenly since their fighting equally just now .
“Where are you running to!?”
Kai, who turned in the direction of Ian, jumped straight into the air .
Kai turned black and was sucked somewhere .
In order to chase Ian, he reflexively triggered Ghost Step .
However, it was an unreasonable act for him to do since Ian was using Space Distortion .
It was because Ian’s position, which had just changed, was high in the air .
Ian, who just got teleported into the sky, summoned Hargasus .
Kiiing-!
Ian took out the fire bow .
Ping-! Ping-!
‘I need to get that Ryu Chen with a surprise . ’
Unlike Kai, who was capable of tanking, the defense and vitality of the Warlock Ryu Chen were like a paper .
And if Ian could ambush Ryu Chen, then Ian could take him out .
For Ian’s ambush to be successful, the guards, who were covering Ryu Chen, had to be destroyed at once .
‘How can we combine a skill that would completely penetrate that line?’
At the moment while he descended with Hargasus, dozens of ideas were quickly going through Ian’s head .
And the next moment…
‘Yeah, if that would be…!’
Ian, who thought of something, raised his right hand .
And as usual, Ian never liked the whole party play thing .
Except for the times when he needed to attack a dungeon or take part in wars, he felt that they were less efficient compared to going solo .
However, there was one person who Ian preferred partying with .
It was Hoonie .
Among all the users in Kailan, the best fit for Ian was Hoonie, and it was because their classes were compatible .
That was the very reason why Ian joined the final battle; it was because the Defensive Captain was none other than Hoonie .
“Hoon-ah! Wind it up!”
“Okay!”
In the urgent battles that were going on, they couldn’t afford to give out specific battle orders .
However, Ian and Hoonie did it by just glancing and gesturing at each other . With just a few words, they could understand what the other person was relaying .
They communicated like that regardless if they were faced with a simple or complicated situation .
[The Defense Captain ‘KanjiHoonie’ has cast ‘Darkness Clockwork’ . ]
Darkness Clockwork was a magic that randomly controlled the ‘time’ of a particular target .
This magic allowed one to control the time of a target in proportion to the caster’s casting time .
The caster could wind up the time up to 10 seconds, and once all the winding was done, then the subject’s time would go back to 5 seconds .
Darkness Clockwork was generally used as a kind of survival skill .
He could rewind the time of an ally just before that ally was about to die and save this ally from death .
Ian wasn’t trying to use Darkness Clockwork for himself .

Ryu Chen’s defense was with tremendous endurance; they were intended to be broken at once .
‘9… 8… 7… now!!’
Ian was measuring the time that Hoonie needed for casting the skill, and the spell got summoned .
Woong-!
As soon as Ian’s magic was triggered, a giant figure appeared .
Kung-!
It was summoned into the battle at once; Ian’s secret weapon, Thor!
Thor got summoned into the battlefield, and he raised the huge hammer that he was holding .
Kwaah-!
[Summon ‘Thor’, unique ability ‘Hammer of Destruction’ has been activated . ]
[The defense of Thor has been temporarily increased by 200% . ]
An intense golden wave started to get sucked inside Thor’s hammer .
Kwaah-!
Na Ji-chan slightly wiped his sweat as he was looking at the screen while his eyes narrowed .
‘What? How is this going to turn out to?’
In his view, Ian was obviously trying to destroy the defense with the ‘Hammer of Destruction’ .
The defense was made of ‘non-living’ types of materials such as walls, which would add to the extra crushing damage on the destruction .
The Hammer of Destruction inflicted 50 to 500% additional damage on targets such as walls, defense towers, or non-invasive shields .
In paper, this was great for Ian .
However, there was a problem .
‘You have already failed on the first attempt . ’
In the early stages of the battle, Ian had already tried a similar strategy .
He also succeeded in inflicting strong damage to the defenders in there just as he had intended .
The problem was that the defense couldn’t be broken with just one shot of the hammer .
In other words… Ian summoned Thor to his death .
‘But to try this again… is this a gamble?’
The additional damage inflicted by the Hammer of Destruction, as mentioned earlier, would range from 50% to 500% .
The limit factor would go close to 500%, and it might be able to break the defense this time .
The reason Na Ji-chan thought Ian’s move was a gamble was because Ian was hoping for the attack to have a high coefficient .
‘This kind of strategy isn’t Ian’s style…’
But Na Ji-chan, no matter how much he had thought of it, couldn’t understand what was going to happen .

That was why he was focusing on the screen with eyes filled with curiosity .
Five seconds after the end of the charging, he was wondering what was going to happen .
After a while .
Kwang-!
Along with a massive sound, the hammer of Thor fell toward the line of defense,
And Na Ji-chan, who confirmed it, had a bitter smile in his mouth .
Tremendous damage was dealt to the defense, but it wasn’t going to collapse .
‘Surely, this is a failed attempt . What will happen now…?’
However, his disappointment didn’t last for long .
The fallen hammer of Thor got lifted again .
Kuung-!
Subsequently, the hammer fell toward the defense .
Kukung-!
“What is…!”
Na Ji-chan was shocked .
Thor needed 5 seconds to charge his hammer and produce maximum power .
And Hoonie’s clockwork could rewind the state of anything to 5 seconds ago .
That was Ian’s plan .
‘If the time is wound up, then the hammer would fall twice in a row . ’
If the hammer fell and was reset to its form 5 seconds ago, then Thor’s hammer would be ready even without charging it .
That would ignore the 15-minute cooldown, and two hammers could fall one after the other .
Kwang-!
Ian’s strategy succeeded .
Creak-! Shhrk-!
The shields, which were guarding Ryu Chen’s surroundings, exploded like mines .
Ian didn’t miss that opportunity and jumped on Hargasus’ back .
Ian began attacking with his bow .
To cast the defense line once again, Ryu Chen cut off the magic he was casting .
Ping-! Piping-!
A black unicorn flew quickly in Ian’s direction while he was moving to the ground .

Prrrng-!
The Wings of Darkness weren’t just a ranged skill; it was something that could also help Ian move for a long-distance .
Ian got on Blackie and rushed toward Ryu Chen .
Swak-!
Behind Ian was Karceus, who had his wings spread wide along with Bbookbbook .
Kwaah-!
Kyaah-!
The two giant dragons opened their mouths!
Kw!
Both were breathing forward, and the illusion beasts that were trying to block Ian were pushed and melted .
Thanks to that, Ian arrived right in front of Ryu Chen without any interruption, and he pulled out the sword he had .
Kwang-!
And with the gears engaged .
The linked play of Ian fit the picture!
It was impossible for Ryu Chen to stop Ian’s perfect attack .
“Keuk…!”
Ryu Chen was pierced three times with the ego weapons and had to go out of the battlefield .
[The Defensive Captain of the Devil camp ‘Ryu Chen’ has been inflicted with devastating damage!]
[The vitality of user ‘Ryu Chen’ has been exhausted . ]
[User ‘Ryu Chen’ has been summoned outside the battlefield!]
In the end, Ian made the kill that seemed impossible .
[Celestial camp, ‘Ian’ earned a kill point . ]
‘I did it…!’
Ian clenched his fists without realizing it .
The thrill of executing a theoretically possible solution rushed through Ian’s body .
But all that was just for a while .
In front of Ian’s eyes had come the system messages .
[User ‘Kai’, the High General of the Devil camp, has defeated the Defense General ‘KanjiHoonie’ . ]
[User ‘KanjiHoonie’ has been summoned outside the battlefield . ]
[The High General of the Devil camp ‘Kai’ has earned a kill point . ]
