《Taming Master》Chapter 498: The Fall of Chalian 3
Advertisement
There were 8 different careers in Kailan.
The first ones were the careers of soldiers, knights, warriors, archers, magicians, and priests that have existed since the launch of Kailan.
And the three new types—the summoner, assassin, and warlock—after the update.
It was a basic fact that everyone who played Kailan would know.
Kailan’s career system, however, became more complex as the content was updated.
The beginning of the ‘Dual Class’.
When the concept of Devildom was first introduced, the ‘Half-devil’ was created; that allowed the system to have a play with both a devil class and a human class. And accordingly, a ‘Dual Class’ was created.
Half a year later, the fusion class concept was born.
The fusion class was a system that allowed users to possess two different careers, a new class with a mix of vocations.
However, unlike the Dual Class that most people possessed and had in common, the fusion class was quite rare.
The difficulty of obtaining the fusion class was quest related and getting that quest wasn’t that easy either.
Kailan’s career system was always updated with new content.
However, that didn’t mean that the content would be added with any specified standards.
There was one proposition that never changed; no matter how the vocational system was added, a user could only pick one out of the eight careers.
Not only the normal classes but also the hidden classes in all tiers—the dual classes and the fusion classes.
In the end, they all fell into the eight career categories.
So what was the concept of the ‘Unique Dual Class’ that Ian just got?
‘Since it has the word dual in it… it might be closer to the Dual Class than the fusion class.’
Ian opened the class information, which was flashing with the letter ‘N’.
Class Information
Class category: Summoner
Summoner (Dual Class)
Hidden Class: Taming Master
Magical Beast Transmutter (Dual Class)
Summoner Knight (Unique Dual Class) (New)
(Disabled)
Fusion Class: Dark Summoner (Disabled)
The ‘unique dual’ word was in the information window of the class.
As soon as Ian saw it, he started to understand it roughly.
‘Oh ho, it looks like a type of hidden class, so it’s a whole new concept?’
Before looking into the new class of Summoner Knight, Ian decided to look at the concept of the Unique Dual Class.
That way, it would be easier to establish the concept.
*Unique Dual: a Unique Dual Class that only one user can get in Kailan.

This allows the user to have an additional hidden class only if specified conditions are met.
(However, hidden class of other careers cannot be obtained.)
As soon as Ian read the explanation provided in the class information window, he could clearly see what the concept of ‘unique dual’ meant.
‘Ah, so I earned the Summoner Knight, a hidden class from the summoner career, as a bonus through the unique dual concept.’
When Ian first encountered the concept of the Unique Dual, the most questionable part was the four tiers of the hidden class and the Unique Dual Class had the same name.
Muran originally wanted to give a 4 tier hidden class Summoner Knight, and the Unique Dual Class was the reward for the changed quest along with the Summoner Knight.
But now, that question was answered.
‘Muran, that beautiful man. He wanted to give me a 4 tier hidden class.’
Ian’s lips started to form a smile.
How could he not feel good when he had obtained a new tier hidden class while maintaining the Taming Master class?
In addition, from the explanation related to the ‘Unique Dual’, no other user except for Ian could even get this Summoner Knight in the Dual Class.
It was literally Ian’s own unique class.
‘Now, should I check the information of the newly obtained class?’
While grinning, Ian opened the information window of the Summoner Knight.
A 4 tier hidden class Summoner Knight. Ian was very curious about what kind of extraordinary skills it had.
Tring-!
[Activated the Unique Dual Class ‘Summoner Knight’ for the first time.]
[You have acquired the ‘Summon’ skill.]
[Already possessed the ‘Summon’ skill. Skill acquisition has been canceled.]
[You have acquired the ‘Capture’ skill.]
[Already possessed the ‘Capture’ skill. Skill acquisition has been canceled.]
[You have acquired the ‘Bing’ skill.]
[You have learned the ‘Blessing of Wind’ skill.]
[Already possessed the ‘Blessing of Wind’ skill. Skill acquisition has been canceled.]
(Leak)
Summoner Knight, like the Taming Master, was a hidden class originally derived from the Summoner Class.
Because of that, the basic summoner skills were mostly termed as duplicates.
Of course, the basic skills of other summoners like ‘Bing’ which the Taming Master class couldn’t learn were created, but they weren’t exactly useful to Ian as of the moment.
Then what were the special skills that were unique to the Summoner Knight, and not the basic skills of summoner?

Useful skills were quite visible, but among them were three skills that made Ian’s heart pound.
First.
-Summon Incarnation
Classification: Active Skills
Skill Level: Lv 0
Proficiency: 0 Percent
Cooldown: 10 minutes
Duration: 5 minutes
The Summoner Knight can summon an alter ego with as much as 50% of his attack power.
The alter ego can use all the same skills of the Summoner Knight except for ‘Summon Incarnation’ that will disappear after 5 minutes.
* You can’t summon multiple of the same summons using your ego.
* The higher the level of the skill Summon Incarnation, the higher the attack power of the alter ego and the duration of the skill.
Each time the skill level of Summon Incarnation is increased by 5 levels, an additional ability to summon will be gained.
Currently summonable number of alter ego: 1
‘Ku, a self-replicating skill… I get envious to this kind of skills every time I see that Shakran old man.’
The Summoner Incarnation wasn’t a novel skill.
Some similar skills existed in other careers, such as the warrior class or the assassin class.
However, since its utilization was endless, it was obvious that the synergy other summoners would produce would be completely different.
‘An additional alter ego each time 5 levels were gained… I can shoot up to 10 levels quickly, so I can operate about three alter egos.’
Coincidentally, the Summoner Knight had another special skill that worked very well with this one.
-Vitality Weapon
Classification: Active Skills
Skill Level: Lv 0
Proficiency: 0%
Cooldown: None
Duration: 15 minutes
The Summoner Knight can only infuse the weapon with Ego.
Each weapon is given an AI and can be used in combat even when not being worn.
As the skill level increases, the weapon’s AI improves and the maximum number of weapons that can be given a vitality will be increased.
* Each time the skill level of the Vitality Weapon is increased by 10, the number of weapons that can be healed will be increased by 1.
Current number of available Vitality Weapons: 1
* The more familiar the ego is with a weapon, the more powerful weapons can be unlocked.
* ???(Seal): successfully unlocking the full potential of the weapon will unlock hidden abilities.
The first powerful three sword drift that Muran had shown when Ian first met him.
Ian too had a skill that made it possible now.
How exactly would the two skills synergize?
‘Huhu, if I put up three weapons and then duplicate them as alter egos… just thinking about it makes me excited!’
If he summoned an additional three weapons while playing three ego weapons, he would be able to control a total of 12 weapons.
‘In total, the number of weapons I’ll be able to control is 16.’
Since it hadn’t been used yet, it was hard to determine how powerful the combination of the two skills would be.
But apart from its real power, Ian was feeling well enough that the new skills could be used.
Ian’s favorite kind of skills were the ones that had the ability to create a variable.
Finally, the last skill.
Though this one wasn’t as interesting as the other two, it was still a skill that could be used efficiently.
-Harmonize
Classification: Passive Skill
Skill Level: Lv 0
Proficiency: 0%
Cooldown: none
Duration: none
The Summoner Knight is the most powerful knight in harmony with the familiars.
The more summons a Summoner Knight has, the more powerful the Summoner Knight will become.
As the skill level and proficiency increases, the buff factors will increase as well.
* Increase all combat abilities by 3% per summoned summons.
* If you kill an enemy with a basic attack, all summoned summons will be healed by 5%.
* The leadership needed to summon all familiars is reduced by 25%.
The best passive skill that perfectly matched, ‘Harmonize’ was in the hand of Ian.
‘It is a true tier 4 hidden class and definitely matches the price.’
Ian had been a summoner for a long time, but his strength could be compared to that of a warrior class.
The skills that made that possible were the buff that was associated with ‘Selamus Warrior’.
Now that Ian had the best character buff skill called Harmonize, it was like giving wings to a raging tiger.
Thanks to that, Ian—who was exhausted due to their battle with the Lich King—became filled with energy and was ready to do battle once again.
It was because he wanted to try the new skills that he gained as soon as possible.
‘I need to rest for a little while. If I try to attack the Underworld like this, I might get stunned in the capsule.’
He took a sigh and decided to conquer the Underworld after he had enough rest.
Since he would be able to fight in the Underworld, Ian decided to put his greed aside for now.
‘Wait a while Behemoth! I’ll bring you out of the Underworld.’
Myth Grade.
A powerful beast that might exceed limits.
Ian’s heart started to flutter every time he thought about creating the strongest magical beast ever with his own hands.
