Ranker's Return

As Hyeonu"s group entered through the door, a ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce greeted them .  In the center of the huge s.p.a.ce, there was a large coffin .

“I think that Roton is inside there . ”

“Probably . That"s how the previous household members came out . ”

Kim Seokjung moved as Hyeonu and Gang Junggu were exchanging opinions with bright expressions .  They were thinking that if they caught the boss, they would be able to get out of the dungeon .  Kim Seokjung stepped toward the coffin and was able to arrive near it .

Then he stretched out his fists .  The fists filled with divine power collided with the giant coffin, but the coffin did not break or crack at all .  It had tremendously high durability .  Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce started trembling .  To be precise, the coffin was vibrating .

“Brother, did you touch the wrong place?”

“How old are you that you haven"t broken that habit? It is your habit to hit anything when you"re frustrated . ”

Hyeonu and Gang Junggu felt something strange and threw scolding words toward Kim Seokjung .  In particular, Gang Junggu uttered words that were close to condemnation .  It was because he had memories of the damage caused by Kim Seokjung"s previous actions .

“Ah, I just tried it . A rodent or a dog will come out . ” Kim Seokjung"s words weren"t wrong .

A giant bat popped out of the open coffin and soon transformed into a man .  “Who is interrupting my rest?”

This was the appearance of a handsome young man, Roton Seynod .

“I came to give you eternal rest . ” Hyeonu saw Roton Seynod and cheered up .  The end of this tireless hunt made Hyeonu feel better .

"I didn"t know the second floor would be this long . "

The second floor where they hunted the troll slaves had seemed endless .  It had taken almost eight hours for them to find the keeper of the second floor .

“Brother, it"s time to end this tiring hunt . ”

“Then let"s fight quickly . ” Gang Junggu finished speaking and charged forward . He wanted to quickly kill the vampire named "Roton", gain the rewards, and rest .

“Tang-E, give the buffs . Don"t spare your magic power and pour out all your skills . Got it?”

“Master dude, don"t worry . Believe in me . ” Tang-E struck his chest .  From Hyeonu"s view, Tang-E looked very good .

“Yes, I will trust you . ” Hyeonu stroked Tang-E"s head once before heading toward Roton .

Roton wasn"t angry at the humans who interrupted his rest .  He was just annoyed .  Kim Seokjung, Hyeonu, and Gang Junggu were like flies to Roton .  He could kill them just by waving his hand .  Then there would be no more people disturbing his rest .  However, it didn"t take long for Roton"s perception to change .  A white light stretched out from Kim Seokjung"s fist and shot toward Roton .

"Divine power!!" Roton was stunned to see Kim Seokjung"s divine power and quickly used magic .  “Blood s.h.i.+eld . ”

Roton sighed with relief as he created a red veil that stopped Kim Seokjung"s attack .  He had almost taken a blow of divine power in his defenseless state .

“d.a.m.n, it is a Liru follower . ”

This wasn"t a fly but a poisonous wasp .  Roton quickly realized he had to deal with them properly .  He had to admit that they weren"t people who could be ignored .

“It is going to be different now . ”

Shortly after Roton"s words, the s.p.a.ce started to turn red .  This was one of Roton"s most famous skills, Blood Field .

[You are under the influence of Roton"s Blood Field . ]

[All stats are reduced . ]

[The magic power required to use a skill will increase . ]

Hyeonu wondered, “What is this? Brother, do monks have a skill to nullify this?”

“Priests who have completed their second cla.s.s advancement will have this skill . However, my brother and I are monks . We don"t have any skill for this . ”

“This . . . ” Hyeonu frowned .  It was frustrating with a close call right from the start .  There seemed to be a 10–20% drop in stats .

“Brother, there seems to be a 10–20% reduction in stats . Meanwhile, his stats have risen by that much . But we still have Tang-E"s buffs, so it should be fine . ”

In some ways, Blood Field had a similar effect to Fear .  It debuffed the opponent while buffing himself .  The only difference was that Fear had a short duration no matter how much magic power was consumed while field skills could last indefinitely as long as magic power was supplied .

"Tang-E also has Fear . "

Hyeonu never thought that it would be impossible to kill Roton .  He just felt that the process was a problem .

“Brother, shall we aim for a short-term battle? Or do you want a long-term battle?”

Gang Junggu seemed to struggle for a moment before speaking quickly, “I"d rather make it short if possible . We don"t have any information about Roton . ”

Gang Junggu"s answer was extremely political .  They only had two pieces of information on Roton: Blood Field and Blood s.h.i.+eld .  However, there weren"t exact figures or guesses .

“Then let"s go all-in . Brother Seokjung will say the same thing . ”

After saying these words, Hyeonu turned to Tang-E .

“Tang-E, things have changed . Once I run to him, use Giant Transformation and roar whenever possible . Rush in if you get the chance . Additionally, use magic . Got it?”

“Understood, Master dude . ”

Tang-E had his own thoughts on the situation . "If I gain a bit more strength . . . I can push that type of guy down with one foot . "

“However, it is thanks to Master dude that I can unexpectedly deal with fire and ice . . . ”

Tang-E made a sneaky smile .  It was a look that suggested he was going to create a big accident .

Kim Seokjung followed the maneuver Gang Junggu mentioned and used all his skills, ranging from those he had built up to the ones attached to his items .  At level 197, the items Kim Seokjung wore were considered the best among players . It meant that Kim Seokjung"s current state was the best shape that a Liru Monk could be in at the current time .

"Sun"s Protection, Descent of the Two Kings . "

Sun"s Protection—this was the skill of the Liru Monk that consumed 30% of his current divine power to amplify all stats by 30% over a period of time .  Meanwhile, Descent of the Two Kings had the effect of increasing the strength stat by 50% for 10 minutes . It was a skill attached to the bracelet worn by Kim Seokjung .  This way, Kim Seokjung would be close to invincible for 10 minutes .  As proof, Kim Seokjung smashed through the previously unbreakable Blood s.h.i.+eld .

"What is this?" Roton panicked .

He had clearly deployed Blood Field, taking the power of the humans and using it as his own .  The evidence was the mighty black magic flowing through his body .  More than half of his usual black magic power flowed through his body .  Nevertheless, the situation was going against him .

“Eek!” An angry Roton raised his magic power even further .  Roton"s mighty black magic gave him a variety of spells .  Clouds rose in the enclosed s.p.a.ce, and red rain fell from the clouds .  That wasn"t all .  b.l.o.o.d.y spears filled the void .

[Player "Kim Seokjung" has entered a "slowed" state . ]

[Player "Gang Junggu" has entered a "slowed" state . ]

[Player "Gang Hyeonu" has entered a "slowed" state . ]

Blood Rain . . .

The rain of blood slowed down Gang Junggu, Kim Seokjung, and Gang Hyeonu .  Then a b.l.o.o.d.y spear quickly flew toward the slowed Kim Seokjung .  Kim Seokjung would soon get skewered if the b.l.o.o.d.y spear continued flying .  Just then, Hyeonu"s sword energy flew toward the b.l.o.o.d.y spear, striking it .  Simultaneously, the b.l.o.o.d.y spear burst .  Not only did this spear explode, but all the surrounding spears burst as well .  It was the effect of Magic Power Explosion .

“Thank you, little brother,” Kim Seokjung thanked Hyeonu .  If it wasn"t for Hyeonu, Kim Seokjung would"ve been logged out in one blow .  The magic power in the spear seemed unusual .

“Brother, I"m going to buy some time . Please prepare a large blow along with Brother Junggu . Tang-E will use Fear twice every five minutes . The effect lasts three minutes, so aim for that . ” Hyeonu gave orders to Kim Seokjung and then rushed toward Roton .

Hyeonu"s movements were unbelievably fast even in a slowed state .  He swung his half-sword .  Roton saw it and laughed .  "He is fast, but what is the point of trying to break through Blood Field with a broken sword?"

Yet the moment Hyeonu"s sword pointed at Roton, the length increased .  This was the use of sword energy that was unique to Hyeonu .  Roton was shocked when he saw the sword energy grow and used Blood s.h.i.+eld .  Blood s.h.i.+eld was cut apart, and there was a line of blood on Roton"s chest .

“Kuock!”

The wound soon disappeared, but the shock didn"t go away .

"How did he get through Blood s.h.i.+eld . . . ?" Roton was astonished .

The Blood s.h.i.+eld created by using a lot of magic power had the durability to deflect the attack of a viscount-cla.s.s vampire .  It wasn"t a defense that would break apart under the light attack of a human .

"Bah, a humanoid boss monster is just like food to me . "

Hyeonu didn"t care about the s.h.i.+eld from the beginning .  He didn"t care about Blood Field either .  His opponent was not just a boss monster but a humanoid one .  This meant that most of his t.i.tles and skills were effective .

[Achieved 100 Consecutive Wins]

[t.i.tle given to the first player to achieve 100 consecutive victories in the arena .

Effect: There is a 20% increase in damage against humanoid monsters (including PvP) during combat . ]

[Solo Raider]

[The t.i.tle given to a player who has killed a boss monster who is higher than them by at least 5 times .

Effect: There is a 10% increase in stats when dealing with boss monsters . ]

Unlike the t.i.tles that were normally applied, it was extremely rare for these two effects to be applied .  Yet the moment it was applied, Hyeonu had the most devastating attack power .

“Take this as well!”

Hyeonu used Crescent Moon Cut the instant the cooldown was over .  Magic Power Explosion was a bonus .  The wind-filled sword energy once again ripped through Roton"s Blood s.h.i.+eld like it was paper .  This time, it wasn"t only a light scratch that was left .  Roton"s left arm was cut .

“Kuack!” A scream emerged from Roton"s mouth .  Roton struggled due to the pain .  When had a n.o.ble of the night suffered like this? However, Roton was indeed a n.o.ble of the night and quickly regained his mind .  

He vented his anger, “Low-cla.s.s humans!”

The power of black magic changed depending on emotions .  Anger was one of the emotions that amplified the power of black magic .  Roton once again raised his black magic to cast a spell .  At this moment, the cry of a beast filled the s.p.a.ce .  It was Tang-E, who used Giant Transformation and then Roar .

“Cough!!” Roton"s magic casting was forcibly interrupted and he vomited blood .  The backlash was high .  Magic was typically high-risk with high returns, and the side effects were extremely powerful .  Roton felt the black magic twisting in his body .

Lightning struck Roton .  It was Tang-E"s Lightning skill that had reached the B rank .

[Roton Seynod has been inflicted with the "electric shock" abnormal state . ]

Roton was unable to move due to the electrocution, and Kim Seokjung"s and Gang Junggu"s skills flew toward him .  It wasn"t possible for the best rankers, Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu, to fail to hit an opponent that wasn"t moving .  The huge fists filled with divine power struck Roto"s abdomen and chest .

It was Meteor, the best skill of the Liru Monk .  Roton"s entire body started to burn .  After a while, Roton disappeared and only ashes were left .

[A n.o.ble of the night, Viscount Roton Seynod, has been killed . ]
