SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 130

wish. It was a wish. He said that he would do anything the Lord Nokorokon could do for him.

The gnome’s words were quite reliable, so there was little risk of speaking out against the promises made by humans.

Of course, you could have found him after solving them all, but that’s why Lokan woke him up first.

If you wake up after it has been resolved, the rewards must have been reduced because you don’t know the seriousness of the work.

Thanks to this, Lokan, who got the best reward, left the lord’s castle at once.

‘It was here’

Finding the cause of the anomaly was not an easy task. If it was normal, he would have to use all sorts of methods to awaken some of the villagers’ minds and gather information from pieces to create clues.

But Lokan didn’t have to. He knows the place where the main culprit is hiding, even if he does not have to put great effort into collecting fragmented information and attaching it with difficulty.

It was the iron forest not far from the manor. It got its name because it is a place where ironwood, a hard wood like iron, grows. Also, this iron wood was a special product of the Nokorokon estate.

‘So that’s what happened.’

The gnomes, who made all kinds of equipment using mechanical engineering, had the means to cut iron wood, even if they had poor strength like the dwarves. For example, ‘explosion’.

Therefore, besides the elders, women and children were also participating in the production activities, which is why the whole village was destroyed at once.

It is not known when the ropes started, but the prey seemed to have walked into the cobwebs on their own in the forest.

“Then by now the heart of the Iron Forest… … .”

[You have been exposed to the welcome maze.][Resist the illusion labyrinth with the effect of fortitude.]

Going further inside, Rokhan was able to confirm that his memory was correct. The damn device called the illusion maze was working.

The attack was delayed because this jinbeop, which appears frequently in martial arts even in previous lives, made users go round and round without being able to enter the center.

But now it’s different. Whether it was magic or magic, it was ultimately judged as a ‘negative mental ability’ that gave an illusion effect and was nullified.

Although the welcome spell counter items prepared just in case became irrelevant, they could be resold and I had enough money, so it didn’t matter.

“I’m here.”

As I went inside, a familiar face caught my eye.

Beep beep.

It was a kokeshi doll that caused her body to look a little stiff when she visited Rokhan.

[Experimental Magic Doll][Lv 254]

They are low-quality enough to be labeled as “experimental”, but it is difficult to be vigilant. This is because the material that basically composes them is iron wood.

It was weak, but it was strengthened and connected with the power of magic, so the attack power and defense power were quite high.

Whoops!

“Don’t be a nuisance and get out.”

Yes, even though the movement was clumsy, it did not even become an obstacle for Lokan.

Lokan, who had split several experimental shaman dolls at once, pushed into the center without hesitation.[You have entered the public dungeon of steel forest.][Experience gained for 3 days is increased by 30% as an initial entry bonus.][The drop rate is increased by 30% for 3 days as a bonus for the first entry.][The initial entry bonus is enhanced by 10% due to the effect of the title ‘Pioneer’.]

The goal was an open dungeon of Steel Forest, accessible from the heart of the Iron Forest.

In a previous life, this place was called a gathering dungeon, and the level of monsters appearing inside is low, and the steel wood, which is harder than iron wood and iron wood, is difficult to cut in any way. Many high-level monsters called shaman dolls appeared.

“This would be a good place.”

Knowing this, Rokhan took a seat as soon as he entered the room.

Normally, you had to run around to hunt as many monsters as possible before the initial entry buff was over, but the shape of the monsters in this dungeon is slightly different.

[You have been exposed to alcohol of detection.][You have been exposed to the alcohol of pursuit.]

As soon as Lokan searched for a suitable place, certain spells flew and clinged to his body.

It was not harmful in itself, but it was clear that it would be a threat because it would reveal his position to the opponent.

“There’s nothing to look at, come on!”

But Lokan rather welcomed it.

Knowing his opponent’s style, if he knew his position and continued to work hard, it was rather welcome.

[Solid Magic Doll][Lv 268][Destructive Magic Doll][Lv 271]

And after a while, new magic dolls appeared.

However, it was different from those who were dealing with outside the dungeon. Unlike the stiff ones, the movement of the joints was flexible and natural, and the shape was also new.

Purneung, Purneung.

There are many different shapes, from kokeshi dolls in human form to witchcraft dolls in the shape of a bison to kokeshi dolls in the shape of a dwarf.

“Wow!”

Even the features varied depending on the shape. As if he really became that creature, as he started moving according to the skills and fighting methods that the original plate would use, Lokan even felt as if he was fighting dozens of monsters at the same time.

“Yeah, that’s right!”

But the top predator was Lokan.

The power of the magic doll that duplicates the target is great, but it has a fatal flaw in the absence of combination skills.

Attack and defense may be better than the original, but only normal skills can be used.

Although you can use racial skills or job skills, it is impossible to use combination skills and creation skills that reveal individual individuality.

That made a very decisive, overwhelming difference.

“Heh heh heh heh!”

The mana in the cry of madness has ripped apart their signaling systems.

The body maintained by magic collapsed for a moment and then slowly recovered.

“Rumbling!”

Bubbly bubbly!

Meanwhile, the guys around Lokan were shredded and shattered. Iron and steel wood, which are difficult to inflict damage on, but Rokan’s ax had no mercy.

Each part of them was cut like kkakdugi with one blow, like a radish cut, and in the meantime, the magic amulet attached to it was also destroyed.

When the power of the amulet to automatically restore a broken doll like the core of a golem disappeared, all that was left was a solid piece of wood.

[You have acquired Iron Wood × 3]

In addition, the magic doll that lost control was turned into a material item. It’s also very expensive.

It would be possible to do logging here with the power of Rokhan, but there was a way to collect a large amount of iron wood without cutting down trees. Also, with the drop rate increased by 40%.

“Why do you cut the goose that lays golden eggs huh?”

That was the reason Lokan took his seat and greeted them.

If you stay still, you will continue to send shaman dolls to increase your experience points and inventory. What are you going to do to hunt early? Also, if he dies, this dungeon will turn into a gathering dungeon again.

That’s why Rokhan never intended to go inside for at least three days.

There are materials all over the place, so the opponent will also be constantly making magic dolls and sending attacks.

Squeak squeak squeak.

After hunting for a while, I went into a lull for a while.

Once the shaman dolls were exhausted, it had to be replenished and the intention was to gather stronger shaman dolls.

Meanwhile, Lokan sharpened the blade of his axe, waiting for the next wave.

Sharpen the blade with a special Dwarf whetstone to restore durability while also sharpening the senses to prepare for an attack from the magic dolls that might come as a surprise.

* * *

three days. For three full days, Lokan remained almost fully logged in and sucked up the honey of the first entry bonus.

Iron ingots of the same weight, or even more expensive than silver ingots, were piled up heavily in the inventory, and he received bonuses and experience points to level up him several times.

Thanks to this, he was able to take even level 260.

The experience was a bit salty compared to other monsters in the same level, but because there were so many numbers, he was able to show such a tremendous level-up speed.

“Shall we go soon?”

After that, Lokan, who went back and forth between villages and dungeons to camp and hunt, only robbed his seat and woke up after reaching level 265.

The level of the magic dolls still attacking him was a little higher than that, but he decided that the efficiency was probably lower.

“The first was firewood, ice enchantment.”

After wiping out the shaman dolls they had attacked once, Lokan began to run in all directions, tracing his memory and tearing his scroll.

attribute enchantment. The reason it was needed soon appeared.

Hurry rumble!

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa be it K” than a be it than a beep!What Lokan called firewood. A burning magic doll appeared.

They didn’t just set their bodies on fire. It absorbs fire-attribute damage, and has the crazy characteristic of being ‘indestructible’ with non-attribute damage.

Even if the Force is activated, the amulet that controls the creature cannot be destroyed, so if you are not prepared for an elemental attack, you will never be able to move forward.

But to put it bluntly, Rokhan was prepared.

“Earth Enchantment.”

Whenever a new attribute type magic doll appears, they quickly attacked by tearing the prepared enchantment scroll of Sanggeuk attribute.

In the case of attribute shaman dolls, it is very difficult to deal with, but it does not give any additional experience points or items, so it was better to organize them as quickly as possible and approach the main body rather than dragging time and increasing the number.

“Die!”

After smashing the magic dolls for a long time, the middle boss and the final boss of the second realm appeared.

[Gigantic Burning Magic Doll][Lv 280]

Nothing different from the old ones. Just one thing. The size only makes up for the house. It was crushed to death with a burning giant that was enough for 5 meters, so it was enough to be crushed to death or burned to death without being able to avoid it.

It was also a monster that the developer made for raids in the first place.

Unless the opponent was Lokan.

“Glow!”

Lokan exploded his power towards the attacking guy using [Crushing]. With overwhelming power, it pierced through its body and shredded the control amulet. So he silenced him.

In the meantime, he received a lot of fire damage, but he had already gained considerable resistance to fire properties through various title effects. It was possible to endure it just by spitting out the heat as if it had entered a sauna.

‘This is the final phase.’

Lokan, who took a step further by acquiring a large amount of steel wood, confirmed that he was getting closer to his destination.

This is because the type of magic doll that appeared in front of him had changed.

[Living Magic Doll][Lv 273]

The level difference isn’t that big. But these guys were ‘alive’. The reason why the number of residents in Nokorokon Village was smaller than expected. It was right here.

“If you dare to smash my children, I will make you pay the price!”

The one who appeared with the living magic doll is the culprit behind all of this.

He was surprisingly in the shape of a ‘half elf’.

‘Because it’s a real half-elf.’

[Helin, a half-elf shaman with a twisted mind][Lv 281]

With a little practice, he was also a geek who learned the unique technique of magic, ignoring the half-elf’s ability to freely use magic and spirits as if he were breathing.

“Heh heh, yes, these are the missing Nokorokons you are trying to save. Can you really hurt them?”

Predicting why Rokhan stopped moving for a moment, he laughed evilly and mocked Rokhan. those who need to be saved. How will Lokan respond to their live attack?

As if watching a fun show, his face was full of smiles. Obviously harming them was at odds with the lord’s request to save the territory and its inhabitants.

And finally, Rokhan picked up the axe. He twisted one corner of his mouth and spit out his words.

“What, what, if everyone died here, who would people think it was?”
