SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 89

Corruption Hunter (3)

“A wide-area provocation! Hold on to Taesan!”

To Rokhan’s call, Gouki responded with a wide-area taunt.

The guys who had dazzled eyes to tear and kill Rokhan started running towards Gouki all at once.

“Wheel Wind!”

Lokan fell behind them.

What followed was one-sided violence!

Those who were running towards Gouki with their eyes turned around were caught up in the tornado created by Rokhan without even being able to properly defend themselves.

yep!

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

That said, it wasn’t even that those who escaped had reached Gouki properly.

The traps Miyuki had laid in advance were slowing their advance.

The request to lay a trap that can only slow your feet without worrying about damage is working properly.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Gouki to withstand the attacks of those who were at a similar level and enhanced with corrupted powers for a long time.

Carararak!

Lokan hastily reduced the number of them, but it was a whopping two hundred people.

There were already over twenty of those who diddge Lokan, crossed the trap and hit Gouki.

Gouki completely solidified her defensive posture and began to hold on, but at this rate it would be difficult to hold on for more than a few minutes.

“Please turn back!”

hee hee hee.

But Rokhan didn’t even think to help them. Because it was their role to die like that in the first place.

While he was holding out, he seemed to focus only on reducing the number as much as possible, and as he swept behind the enemies without stopping, Gouki and Miyuki slowly allowed their attack and met their death.

[Mercenary Gouki has passed out. You will automatically return to the mercenary guild.][Mercenary Miyuki has passed out. You will automatically return to the mercenary guild.]

kyaak

The half-elves and orcs who lost their goal wandered for a while. They looked around and looked at each other.

yep!

He began to unleash the hostility hidden deep within his consciousness.

Corrupted power engulfed reason, but it was nothing more than sparking inner rage. It’s like the anger virus, for example.

“These guys! not that one Attack him!”

Thanks to this, the corrupt wizard, who was looking inside the Colosseum, who was in a fight with each other, burst out in anger, but it was already out of control.

Since they are hostile races in the first place, it was impossible to stop them because they were in a situation where they could not control their lives just by looking at each other.

“Wheel Wind!”

In the midst of this, Lokan also gradually accumulated experience points.

Where else could there be a better situation to pick up and eat as much experience as this chaos?

Until he attacked, they were too busy fighting amongst themselves, so until their bodies collapsed and their souls split, they couldn’t resist.

“thank you!”

At the very least, would it be enough for Lokan to smile and express his gratitude to him?

However, there was nothing he could do because the barrier placed on the Colosseum was preventing him from even entering.

[The corrupted power surrounding the Colosseum is scattered.]

Finally, when all the half-elves and orcs died, the barrier surrounding the Colosseum disappeared.

“Leaf Attack!”At the same time, Rokhan jumped to the gnome.

“Wind Hammer!”

However, he also activated the magic as if he had expected it. A magic that gathers wind and strikes it like a hammer.

If it was pure power, Lokan would overwhelm him, but because it was a different realm from physical power, he had no choice but to be thrown away.

“Damn it.”

Perhaps because the corrupted power was mixed, the vitality was also reduced quite a bit.

“Set three.”

Lokan immediately changed his gear settings. I know his attack method isn’t just magic, but it felt like something he had to approach right away.

“The Orb of Destruction.”

At that moment, a bead flew in with a sense of terrifying pressure.

Although it was small, I felt like we shouldn’t bump into each other, so when I jumped to avoid it, the entire space I collided with was crushed.

“It’s bloody.”

Is it really a fallen monster?

However, his attack had a fatal flaw.

“bombing!”

If you don’t get it right, it’s over.

Moreover, as there was a gap between attack and attack as it was powerful, Lokan immediately launched a bombardment in connection with the evasive action.

“Shield of Despair!”

tuung.

Bombing blocked by his other magic.

However, with this, two of his combination skills were used.

“charge!”

Rokhan immediately smashed at him and swung his Battle Ax out loud.

“jackanapes! Dare me to pay the price for my crimes against me!”

Maybe he was going crazy, and he swung his wand across at Lokan.

Corrupted power seemed to have been added to the special metal. It’s just a matter of being a wizard.

Wow!

But the results were surprising. Even though it collided head-on with Lokan, it flew a few meters and rolled over.

If this is enough, some users may have been overwhelmed by the power in reverse.

‘After all, the human body reinforcement group.’

It was because of the last combination skill of the guy that he created with his corrupted power.

A skill that can gain power by dissolving corrupted power into cells in the body.

It may be thought that it is not suitable for a wizard, but if it was a powerful wizard until close combat, it could not be a threat enough.

“Yeah, it’s mediocre.”

caang caang gang bang.

But it was also a story when it was the right opponent. It was impossible for a wizard who relied on corrupted power to withstand Lokan, who was not pushed even after fighting level 200.

It was the guy that was pushed back every time he received an attack, and Lokan gradually neutralized the guy and built up damage.

He wants to kill him at once, but it is not only his strength that is strengthened by the corrupted power he has, so his vitality is also great.

“Fatal blow! strike!”

‘Yeah, if you squeeze it, it will all be cut one day.’

With that thought in mind, I looked at him calmly and lowered the Battle Axe.

“It can’t be. I have been chosen! I can’t be beaten by someone like you… … !”

“Everyone had a great idea. Until you get hit.”

Whoops!

Rokhan’s Battle Ax slashed his chest again.

bubbling bubbling.

His skin instantly healed with a boil, but he could feel his corrupting power getting weaker each time.

‘It’s time to end it soon.’

Lokan, who was measuring his remaining strength, added strength to the hand holding the Battle Axe.

Now is the time to end it.

He knocked down the guy’s posture with a low kick, and pretended to be slashing it with a servant, hung a battle ax on his staff and pulled it with force.

Pangur.

“Come back!”

The gnome stretched out his hand with magical power to retrieve his weapon, but Rokhan’s strike came first.

He cut off his outstretched arm and stepped on the cane he was returning to, stopping him.

And the close-range bombing that followed!

If it hadn’t been for the corrupted power, his limbs would have been torn apart, but the gnome barely pierced a hole and saved his life.

“Forgiveness… … can not do it. your guy… … Only you… … !”

However, since they had already lost their fighting power, all that was left was a one-sided beating and a mutilation close to torture.

Like a live octopus, even if he cut off his limbs, he writheed and tried to put them back together, so Lokan separated them so that they could not be merged.

Now all that was left of him was evil.

‘It’s over.’

All that was left was a body that had fallen off his limbs, but the poisoned man’s vitality was tenacious.

Do I have to cut off his neck to die, or will I have to burst his heart to die? Before he could even test, he threw his last move.

“… … I’ll take you!”

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

self-destruct!

It exploded itself like a bomb by triggering the last power of corruption. To take Lokan with you.

But even that last attempt was being read by Lokan.

“Yeah, no.”

Berserk’s immortality effect.

When I used the Berserk at the right time, I was able to withstand it easily enough to get a little stinging.

“Cancel.”

There was no need to keep the Berserk for a long time. As soon as the afterglow of the explosion disappeared, he inadvertently canceled his skill.

[Not enough vitality. If he fails to recover to 9% of his maximum health within 10 seconds, he may die.]

“Life Charge.”

It’s the life force that went down to the floor. One shot of life charge can solve it.

Rokhan, who had fully recovered, picked up a marble from the corpse of the white-burned corpse.

I could have killed him earlier, but that’s the reason why I tortured him like he was tortured and induced suicide.

[You have obtained the Orb of Corrupted Power.]

It was the corrupted power that now contained little power, but still remained microscopic.

The thing that Rokhan was trying so hard to get.

There was one secret hidden here.

If you ‘kill’ him, this orb will break, but you can get it if you ’empty’ it through self-destruction.

Lokan took it and immediately moved to the Crossroads.

Then he went to Malkin, the crossroads defender and member of the investigation team, and delivered it.“Yeah, this is… … !”

At first, Malkin was indifferently accepted, but soon his expression and attitude changed. Like the strongest crossroads, he sensed the minute force remaining within it.

“Hey, where did you find this?”

“I got it by catching the corrupted monster. Just before he died, he committed suicide and left this behind. Perhaps this is what caused the ‘fall’.”

Even if you leave it alone, you will find it, but there was no need to wait, so Lokan even provided a hint as if he was sympathetic.

In fact, ‘they’ are spreading the corruption through this orb, which is called ‘the Orb of Corruption’.

The things that Lokan discovered at the beginning of the main quest were probably an experiment to spread the power of this corruption more easily and widely.

“Hey, if that’s true, what a big discovery. Man, you did a great job. Wait a minute, there will be a big reward when the results come out.”

Malkin, who had heard that far, wanted to send a message somewhere, and then disappeared.

Maybe he’ll show up after a while and give you a reward.

He couldn’t do anything with the aftereffects of Berserk anyway, so he sat in a chair and waited patiently. while browsing the website.

“this… … what ”

Then Rokhan got a piece of news that made him restless.

[The 4th city sets sail to advance to the first central continent across the sea!]

That is, there is a team that departed for the Central Continent.

The level was still lacking, but it was also an article with a short interview saying that he took the opportunity by going all-in on the quest to go to the central continent somehow.

‘these guys… … .’

These are definitely people who know about the ‘first title’. Otherwise, there would be no way I could do such a reckless thing.

It was clear that he would fail with a 98% chance, but Rokhan’s heart became impatient.

If you win a 2% chance and really land on the Central Continent

What if I just take a mark and go back to the rune book?

Lokan was absurdly deprived of one of his titles.

“I’ll turn.”

The problem is that there is not one team of those who set sail or are preparing to depart.

Although there are no Crossroads or Ash Town, quite a few of the top guilds and teams in the other tertiary city areas had reached level 160-170 and were making plans to cross the sea.

Some of them followed suit, and a few other teams were expected to set sail within a day or two.

In the event of a raid, it was obvious that they would be wiped out unconditionally, but if any one of them arrived safely and fortunately, it was clear that the title for the first time in the Central Continent would be missed.

“What do we do ”

Then I had to make a choice.

interrupt or catch up.

The former was difficult in many ways. The method itself was limited, and even if they made a choice, they had no choice but to pray that those who started in advance would be attacked by marine monsters.

If that is the case, it is said that the latter should be chosen, but that was also not easy.

There wasn’t even a guild on the Crossroads that could leave with a boat, and it was clear that it wouldn’t be of much help if they were forced to join.

In that case, it would be better to go alone, but in the end, there is a high probability that you will not be able to properly prepare for the attack of marine monsters.

‘The problem is that it’s not just about surviving… … .’

If I was alone, I would somehow survive, but in the middle of the sea, what can I do with a ship where all the crew are dead?

In order to prevent trickery using rune books, it is impossible to store and use rune books ‘over the sea’, so you may have to commit suicide and return.

As such, the field called the sea had many variables and many things to take care of.

“You have to do it after all”

Lokan made a difficult decision after thinking for a long time with a firm expression on his face until Malkin returned.

The only way to get ahead regardless of the odds of those who started first.

However, he was forced to bring up a method he had put on hold because even himself had a high probability of success.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no other way.
