Ranker's Return Chapter 83

As Hyeonu's group entered through the door, a massive space greeted them .  In the center of the huge space, 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 space 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 Shield . ”

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 .

“Damn, 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 space 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 class 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 Shield .  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 Shield .

'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 space, and red rain fell from the clouds .  That wasn't all .  Bloody 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 bloody spear quickly flew toward the slowed Kim Seokjung .  Kim Seokjung would soon get skewered if the bloody spear continued flying .  Just then, Hyeonu's sword energy flew toward the bloody spear, striking it .  Simultaneously, the bloody 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 Shield .  Blood Shield 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 Shield . . . ?' Roton was astonished .

The Blood Shield created by using a lot of magic power had the durability to deflect the attack of a viscount-class 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 shield 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 titles and skills were effective .

[Achieved 100 Consecutive Wins]

[Title 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 title 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 titles 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 Shield 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 noble of the night suffered like this? However, Roton was indeed a noble of the night and quickly regained his mind .  

He vented his anger, “Low-class 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 space .  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 noble of the night, Viscount Roton Seynod, has been killed . ]
