SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 56

Troll Dungeon (1)

As soon as Rokhan had finished preparing for the Crossroads, he headed to the villa of the mad baron.

Although it was called a villa, it was almost a mansion-level building. Even though he is a baron, it is a part that shows how great the status of a nobility is.

smart.

I knocked on the door, but there was no news from inside.

‘Should I come later’

In response, Rokhan looked up at the sky. The sunset had just crossed the horizon.

It was an evening time when it was difficult to hunt in the field, but the reason Lokan came to this place at this time was simple.

Crazy Count can only be seen at night.

“… … who are you ”

After waiting for a while, a response came from within. He wasn’t the mad baron himself, he seemed to be that servant.

“My name is Lokan, a member of the Crossroads garrison. He heard that Baron Truell needed help.”

It was a lie. Through a certain route, he was able to get information that Baron Truell, the mad baron, was saving people, but Lokan didn’t hear it or receive a commission.

It was merely a passing through the memories of his previous life, but the title of the Crossroads garrison added to his credibility.

“Ah, you are the garrison. Well done. Come in here.”

Thanks to that, the servant was also deceived. Wanting to bring Lokan inside, he went up to the second floor and called Baron Truell.

“I didn’t know that the garrison would send people directly. Yes, you will help me.”

“Yes. If there is anything I can do, I will do my best to help.”

Maybe it’s because Lokan’s level was low, Baron Truell was looking at him with sullen eyes, but as if he had made a decision, he opened his shiny lips.

“I came here to treat my little daughter. I mean, she can really do anything for that kid. But now I’m too weak to try anything. So I beg you, bring me the blood of the troll that appears in the cursed cave of life. A troll’s vitality should be able to restore his body to some extent.”

[Restoration of Baron Truell’s young daughter 1][Quest]

Baron Truell has asked you for help to save his young daughter.

-Completion condition: Blood of the Cursed Cave Troll (0/10)

-Reward: 5 gold

“all right.”Lokan willingly accepted the quest. Whether he was a nobleman, the reward was quite generous, but Rokhan’s expression when he came out was not very good.

In the second round, he already knew the end of this quest.

“Well, I can’t help it.”

After using the mark to save the location in the rune book, Lokan headed to the troll dungeon called the Cursed Cave of Life. He saved the location on the way, so the transfer was quick.

“From now on, let’s attack the ‘Cave of Cursed Life’, one of the public dungeons located around the Crossroads.”

The moment he arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, Lokan started filming a video. He also added a comment this time because he was attacking the dungeon to shoot for YouTube from the beginning.

Of course, “Brothers~.” It wasn’t a fair concept to start with.

“As many of you already know, dungeons are not affected by external time. Because it is a closed type anyway, the characteristic that becomes stronger during the night or day does not apply. In addition, it always provides the same view, so if you have difficulty hunting in the evening, it is recommended to settle down in the dungeon first. In the field near the tertiary city, there is a mix of people from the early level of 100 to those who are close to level 120.”

It was enough to show the inside of the dungeon recklessly, show the monsters that appeared, and show the pattern, but the reason for adding a comment that I wasn’t good at was simple.

This is because it is possible to exercise ‘influence’.

‘That’s the big picture.’

First, get the right information. Of course, simple things that are not very important to him. After building that trust, he mixes in a little lie when he needs it.

He didn’t have any intention of going 100% live anyway, so he was able to control the information exposed as he wanted.

“The characteristic of this dungeon is that trolls also appear as monsters. As far as I know, this seems to be the first time that a race called trolls has appeared as a monster in the Golden Lion camp. But it’s not just trolls. The moment I said this, the first monster finally appeared.”

[Cave Stone Monkey][Lv 103]

Upon entering the dungeon, the first thing that greeted Lokan was a monster called Cave Stone Monkey.

A muscle monkey would be quick to explain. His body and fists are as hard as stones, so he has excellent attack and defense, and he annoys users with his agile movements unique to monkeys.

“Once the level is right. However, the attack, defense, and agility are equally high, so it can be dangerous if you are not careful.”

The description was threatening, but Rokhan’s response was simple. He looked all the way at the fist of the cave stone monkey, who rushed at him quickly with his fists, then swung his ax like a thunderbolt and slammed it to the ground.

“But, on the other hand, all the stats are tedious, so you can press the one you are confident of, either strength or speed. It’s so easy.”

Cheeky!

The stone monkey lying on the floor got up again like a seizure and rushed, but the opponent was Rokhan.

A battle ax swung lightly as if commanding, cutting off his arm and smashing his rib cage.

“Then why are these guys in the troll’s habitat?”

I lifted my head again and saw a group of five in the distance. The guys showing their hostility towards the intruder grinned as if they were cute.

“Because they are the prey of the trolls. Even if they swarm and threaten, they are just prey to predators. Just like this, heh heh heh heh heh heh!”

It was a cry of madness mixed with force.

A terrifying horror swept through the area, and the stone monkeys that looked like they were about to attack at any moment rolled their eyes. They had seizures as if they were watching a troll, or some gave up their resistance and turned over.

However, those who watched the video would not know English. The effect doesn’t look any different, so you’d think it was just work-lying. Thanks to this, he will go through a lot of trial and error, but it wasn’t too bad from Lokan’s point of view.

‘The picture is coming out.’

This was enough for the drawing. Lokan omits any further comments and swung the Battle Ax as if dancing at them.

He didn’t even need to show off his combination skills. Because they are capable enough to crush them without any combination skills.

You can’t create the same thing just by looking at it, but there may be some who want to check themselves among those who advance to the Crossroads, so it was good to keep it hidden as much as possible.

“Next is the Giant Bat. It’s a giant bat, but there’s no such thing as an ultrasonic attack. Headbutting and biting are the main attacks, so flying is difficult, but you can think of it as practicing flying monsters because it is a cave anyway.”

“Next up is Hydro. It has the same shape as a rock, so it is a monster that disguises itself and attacks. How to distinguish… … .”

“next… … .”

Instead, the terrain of the dungeon, monsters appearing, and strategy were properly handled. Even if he doesn’t say it anyway, it’s not a waste of time since it’s a strategy that will be over in a day or two at the longest.

However, if you see Rokhan dealing with him easily, he might injure his big nose if he treats him easily.

“Now, this is the realm of the trolls. The number of trolls appearing in this dungeon is about ten. They are all drunk with their own strength and take individual actions, so it is not difficult to attract and hunt one by one.”

After digging through it for a while, the trolls’ realm appeared. Although the number of them was not large, the area they occupied was wider than any of the monsters that appeared before, so it might be easier to deal with.

“A common misconception about trolls is their regenerative abilities, but they don’t show as much regenerative abilities as you might think. As for the high-level trolls that will appear later, the cursed cave trolls that appear now are all about having a fast life regen. If you leave it alone, it will recover your health quickly, but if you’re a little careful and keep attacking, it’s not that difficult. Then we will start the battle.”

Rokhan immediately used a charge to dig into the gnome. Continued dash and shoulder charge! The troll, who was suddenly hit with a head-butt like a cannonball, broke his back with a squirrel and spewed secretions.

“Hey!”

Rokhan took out a battle ax as it was and hit him on the neck.

Normally, he would have taken away his mobility and swept his lower body to prevent him from using his full strength, but there are too many eyes to show such a standard play.

Because of that, he rather approached with difficulty in a head-to-head match using his strength and attack power.

Kwok!

The ax blade that flew in with the force to cut the throat in one breath only cut the troll’s chest. The troll, who hurriedly leaned back, was attacked with his chest instead and pushed Rokhan back with force.

Thanks to that, Lokan also fell off like a bouncing, but as expected, he rolled his body and there was no damage.

“Leaf attack, force!”When the body bounced back and gave a blow, it exploded with power that was comparable to a combination skill in itself.

Kuh hun!

The arm of the troll, who had been swinging the club with all his might, was broken and twisted. Strength is also strength, and it was unable to withstand the attack power that was bursting with various effects.

Lokan did not miss the opportunity and even swung the Battle Axe.

He tore the wounds on his chest, which were healing faster, more revealing his bones and heart.

He said, “As much as he is confident in his abilities, he is also reckless, so you can just kill him in one shot like this. It’s simple.”

Scratch!

With those words, Rokhan cut off the troll’s head. No matter how many bastards cut his head or burst his heart, he’ll never be able to regenerate.

“Huh, that’s good.”

Having finished handling one animal so easily, Lokan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

He looks like he’s not a big deal, but they have powerful combination skills.

That’s what “rapid play” was all about.

As people know, it was to exert a regenerative effect strong enough to attach even a severed arm, so if it was activated when you were careless, it would be quite disappointing.

That’s why Lokan doesn’t want to reveal it.

‘It’s not fun if it’s easy. is not it ‘

In addition to that, there is also an attack combination skill, ‘Smash-up’, so users would come and go a little more.

After finishing the shoot, Lokan immediately took out his slaughter knife. He activated his skill and began to collect blood and tendons.

[The Cursed Cave Troll was successfully slaughtered.][The amount of by-products obtained is reduced due to the low proficiency of the butchery skill.][Slaughter increased by 0.1%.]

The troll’s blood and tendons were quite expensive, so this is also a secret.

Moreover, since the only thing that could be obtained through normal hunting was the blood of a troll, the tendons would be monopolized for a while.

The byproducts of the trolls can be sold only in the shop and you can get a decent amount of money, so it can be quite profitable.

By reducing the number of trolls one by one, we were able to kill all the trolls without difficulty.

“I must have been hiding here… … .”

And Rokhan began to search all over the troll’s habitat, looking for any traces.
