SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 75

empty furry (3)

As soon as the aftereffects of Berserk were over, Lokan, who did not hide himself and started moving without hesitation, headed to the gray forest.

This was a hunting ground of level 110 at most, but it was actually a place where a bigger secret was hidden.

‘Is this here, damn it, it’s something I’ve read before.’

Thump Thump Thump.

Reaching the target point, Lokan suddenly took out his hatchet and threw it somewhere.

With a certain rhythm, but in a completely different position.

Pacchut.

As the hatchet was locked in some particularly darkly colored branches among the densely towering trees, something appeared in the empty space.

none other than rocks.

A battle ax flew out of Lokan’s hand without even thinking about why he had to hide something like a rock with these devices.

“bombing.”

Quang!

Rocks were smashed with the sound of a bomb exploding.

Because it was a device to test whether he was confident that he could shoot through rocks, the actual hardness was inferior to that of rocks.

“Looks right here.”

After the explosion had cleared, a stone staircase appeared.

Hearing the sound, he quickly went inside before the other users came.

[You have entered the location where the legend of the hunter began.]

secret dungeon.

Originally, it was something that could only be found based on the hints obtained through numerous quests, but Lokan skipped everything.

Because he already knew the conditions for opening the entrance.

Accurate aiming, long-distance attack ability, and finally, the courage to pierce through rocks was not an easy task for a Berserker, a class of Lokan, but the godly throwing weapon control made it possible.

As he entered the room, Rokhan walked forward without hesitation. For he is in pitch-black darkness without a single point of light, but he knows what he should be.

‘It’s useful in many ways.’

Even after the eyes have adapted to the darkness, it was a space that did not receive a single point of light to the extent that it was difficult to see anyone’s outline, but for Lokan, who obtained night vision through the title effect, everything was clearly distinguished.

[The Hunter’s Trial Stage 1 begins.]

And after a while, a new notification appeared.

In a situation that he seemed to have seen a lot, Lokan smiled.

Hero’s Trial!

This is not a secret dungeon, but one of the spaces to inherit ‘someone’s maintenance’ like a test of a hero.

‘Is it different that the owner is still alive?’

The only difference is that, unlike the Lion King Gaokan, the person who made this test is still alive.

The legendary troll hunter, Carus.

‘A living legend.’

The hunter who made the enemies tremble at the vanguard during the great war between the Black Dragonflight and the Golden Lion camp, called the Tribal War, was the owner of this dungeon.

He probably didn’t even think that Lokan, a human Berserker who was neither a troll nor an archer nor a hunter, would be the first to challenge this place.

‘Eat well.’

[Find the light in the dark.]

The notification that reappeared was very unfriendly.

Well, the Lion King’s test was far from kind.However, since he already knew the contents of the test, he was able to understand the meaning.

“Throwing.”

Whoops!

Enemies approaching secretly in the dark. It was the task of this test to confirm and destroy it.

‘This is a pass.’

However, it did not destroy all moving creatures. There was only one of them, a young troll mixed in, so they needed eyes that could tell them apart.

[You have passed the Hunter’s Trial Stage 1, Hunter’s Eye.]

After destroying even the last one, the cave’s fire came on.

Only one young troll survived.

Even when he saw the human Rokan like an idiot, he smiled and ran around again.

[The Hunter’s Trial Phase 2 begins.][Peel through.]

Still unfriendly guidance.

This time, it was a test that required speed and accuracy.

As soon as the tester rises to the designated position, magic shapes come up from all sides, and all you have to do is to penetrate it and destroy it before it disappears again.

There is one peculiar thing, however, that since this is a test on the side of the Black Dragonflight, the targets to be defeated are humans, half-elves, dwarves, and gnomes.

Normally he would flinch in reluctance, but without hesitation, someone quickly threw the hatchet in all directions.

Koo woong kuoong koo woong thump.

Fortunately, he had plenty of throwing weapons because he expected a big battle. When the archers swung them as if they were wasting arrows, all the shapes that appeared were destroyed.

[You have passed the Hunter’s Trial Stage 2, Hunter’s Sense.]

When nearly a hundred figures were destroyed, the disappearing young troll reappeared with a notice to complete the second stage.

“Is that over there?”

The guy disappears again after a short beckon.

But Lokan knew it was a guide.

A third ordeal finally appeared as the young troll followed in the direction it disappeared.

‘If you don’t look at this, you will know.’

[The Hunter’s Trial Phase 3 begins.][Destroy it.]

What appeared were gigantic rocks, no, rocks.

‘It is also called a golem.’

To be precise, it was a coarse level golem made by joining rocks together.

However, the appearance was only crude, and its power was never weak.

Although it was only level 130, the golem basically regenerates infinitely until mana runs out unless the ‘core’ is destroyed. just because.

However, it was a story that did not apply to all of Lokan.

“Is it the back of the hands and the chest?”

Lokan glanced at him and immediately found his weakness.

No, there was something like a jewel that was too big to say that I found it.

“I told you that if you go to Moro, you can only go to Seoul.”

Lokan confirmed this and immediately rushed to the gnome.

“Heh heh heh heh!”

It was a cry of madness. At that voice imbued with the Force, the golem’s mana circuit was cut one by one and stopped functioning for a moment.

And in that brief moment, the hatchets that left Rokhan’s hands hit the jewels embedded in the backs of both hands.

Gems that have not been destroyed but have lost their light. Before the disabled golem woke up again, Lokan flew into a reef attack.

“Force.”

Quang!

He even hit the jewel in his chest.

“Ugh.”

sparkle.

But the jewelry did not even go into incontinence. I don’t know what he was made of, but it’s probably not normal since he was built by Carus, the king of trolls.

This time, I noticed that the light was disappearing from the jewel, and when I glanced back and watched the unexpected counterattack, a red light erupted from the man’s head.

But his head was opened, and there was no such thing as revealing his weakness.

It’s just telling the location of the nucleus, and destroying it yourself.

It was a test not only of speed and accuracy, but also of sufficient destructive power.

“bombing.”

It wasn’t even funny to test the destructive power of Lokan.

Just throwing it with the power of throwing seemed to shatter it, but it felt like a ceremony and threw the hatchet with all my might and smashed the head of the golem.

[You have passed the Hunter’s Trial Stage 3, Hunter’s Power.]

“I’m sorry. I am not a hunter.”

Contrary to the name, the hunter’s ordeal did not discriminate between classes just as the hero’s test did not discriminate between classes. However, if it is a profession related to archery, it can only have a much greater advantage.

It would be better if you were a hunter.

In the case of just now, if he was a hunter, he would tank with a pet or attract attention, and then he only had to keep his distance and hit the jewels.

The only problem was that the being taking the test now was a class and a monster that could ignore their compatibility.

[The Hunter’s Trial Stage 4 begins.]

“Are you doing it right here?”

Perhaps he had heard those words, and the final stage 4 exam began without any preparation or notice.

“… … ”

But there was no change. Nothing appeared and there was nothing to break.

There wasn’t even a vague guideline.

All they had was a young troll running around, still smiling brightly.

‘Maybe this… … .’

Lokan, who saw the difference, immediately rushed to the young troll. He used dashes and strikes to smash his head.

[You have passed the Ordeal of Carus: Reading Heart.][Defeat Young Carus.]

Then black smoke rose from the body. It must have been a creature created by magic.

And what appeared was a strong young troll who was already two meters tall.

Unlike the naive young troll, there was a certain desire or madness in his eyes.

“If it’s this, it’s simple.”

Fortunately, there was no way to defeat the young Carus.

If there was a restriction such as using only ranged attacks, it would be a difficult fight, but there was no other word to say that he had already proven everything to prove.

“Then let’s take a peek”

As if to understand Rokhan’s words, young Carus moved violently.

He secured his distance, held his bow, and at the same time blew a long whistle to summon something.[Frost Mane Wolf Leader Cantos][Lv 145]

A summoned beast with the ability to freeze opponents by biting or scratching them and turning them into walking sandbags. At the same time as the named ones appeared, Lokan took off with a reef attack.

“Wedge trap, throw the rope!”

Do you really want to show that you were different from a young age? He set a trap at the arrival point and then quickly retreated and threw a rope.

When the rope with added magical power flew, even Lokan could not resist and his wrists were caught.

“It’s stupid.”

Whik!

wasn’t caught it had been caught

Carus, who was holding the rope, was pulled along with Rokhan’s strong arm.

“bombing.”

Nettle juice!

He had the momentum to destroy the bone in one breath, but he responded quickly whether it was the hero’s childhood.

I thought that it would stop by driving the bow strongly into the ground, then backstepped and started moving fire. At the same time, he even tried to attack from behind using a summoned beast.

“I’m sorry.”

Lokan, who easily avoided those attacks, savored his taste buds.

As the legendary troll hunter Carus was young, I thought he would have better skills, but at this level, he would only be level 160 if he played a lot.

Even so, it was just preparation for the test, so it would be difficult if he became seriously strong.

“charge.”

If I had been a little stronger, I would have gotten along with each other even if it took time.

Losing interest, Rokhan changed his stance. His body, which had been moving as if he had gone moderately, exploded.

He didn’t even need much movement. Bind his feet with a cry of madness, attract attention with bombing, and finish with a fatal blow!

In just one shot, the young Carus’ body collapsed.

[Cyarus’ Trial: You have passed the proof.]

The result was quite different from his initial intention to evaluate his overall ability as a hunter, but in the end, Lokan overcame all trials.

Kugugu Palace.

With the end of the test, the altar came up from the floor.

[Offer the heart of a monster level 170 or higher.]

And the last mission was given. Even if it was not prepared in advance, it was a structure that could leave and re-enter at any time, but if it was the heart of a monster level 170 or higher, there was a good one.

The heart of Thiler.

There is no separate drop item, but teeth, claws, scales, heart, and eyeballs were given as loot, so it can be used immediately.

[Thiller’s heart has been confirmed.][Kyarus’ secret is passed on.][You have acquired the engraving ‘Power to pierce the soul (growth)’][Power to pierce the soul (growth)] [Epic] [Quest]

A tattoo-like engraving is engraved on the body, giving it the secret of deadly power that pierces the soul.

A special power was added by squeezing the fallen monster’s heart to make an engraving.

– Activates the [Soul Penetrating Power] effect when used

-Increases critical hit chance by 10%

– Increases critical damage by 50%

-Can grow by absorbing corrupted power
