SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 153

Searching for traces of the storm (3)

“Hi Master!”

“Stop!”

One of the Silver Lion Knights, who reacted first and flew, pierced through the body as if it had been erased, but the arrow did not lose its strength at all, and the angle was too subtle for others to shoot again.

Since it was a blow aimed at sniping in the first place, it was in a position where it could not be reached even if the body was blown away.

‘Emperor Ancient Emperor’

It was the same with Lokan. Lokan noticed the attack faster than the Silver Lion Knights, but had only one chance to block it.

If he hesitates even the slightest bit, he may lose even the chance.

So I had to make a choice. Will you stand in front of the emperor, or will you protect the body of the ancient emperor?

After contemplating for a period of time divided into 1 second, I finally made a decision.

“Suppression!”

👌👌👌👌👌👌

The special ability of the chain that sealed the ruins of which the cooldown has returned due to the emperor’s buff wrapped around the ancient emperor’s body.

Whoops!

“… … !”

It was an arrow of annihilation that turned anything into nothing.

It’s not overwhelmingly fast, but it’s a one-hit fatal skill that disappears the moment it hits a silent arrow that eats up even the sound.

But even that was meaningless in front of the overwhelming templar.

When it touched the chain that sealed the ruins that had wrapped around the body of the ancient emperor in an instant, it was thrown out.

Even the bounced arrows did not carry any power. It was because there was a chain full of some energy that made even the power of annihilation disappear.

‘… … This is it.’

Even if he used a Berserk or hit it with a light beam, he wasn’t confident enough to block it. That’s why I threw it as if it were a gamble, but I’m sure I’ll be able to block it.

Lokan put on a bewildered look on his face, wondering what he was doing even though he was doing it.

“Kill him!”

Meanwhile, the High Master from the human side rushed in like a thunderbolt to catch the Goblin High Master.

Even though they are the same High Masters, it is natural that the archers are absolutely at a disadvantage if they fight in such a narrow space.

He stared at Lokan, who had made him fail, as if to kill him, then activated his combination skill and pulled out his body.

At this point, he was already a failure, so it was right for him to save his own life.“Retreat!”

The goblin camp roared at the cry of the goblin high master.

It was also an unexpected retreat, but he hesitated about whether to really retreat because he had to return without seeing a match even after sacrificing this much troops.

As long as you fail your mission anyway, it would be hard to see a good result even if you go back.

Because of this, some retreated according to the order, but some rather attacked the humans with a determined expression.

Orcs, trolls, and the undead camp also looked bewildered by his sudden action, but they began to notice, perhaps because they were not commanders.

However, for the same reason as some goblins, they also chose a decisive battle.

If only I could tie the High Master’s feet, I think it would be possible to do something… … !

The gambler-like mind caught up with them. It became the poison that made them annihilate.

“Take care of your surroundings. Reinforce your troops and strengthen your defenses!”

After one storm passed, the emperor immediately ordered a reorganization.

Although we lost quite a number of Masters, if only the Ancient Emperor and the Scarlet Crusade could be resurrected.

With 1,000 Masters and 10 High Masters, it was a power that could overwhelm other races without being able to make up for the damage.

As the damage was counted and reported, the emperor’s eyes filled with madness.

“Well done. Well done, Count Regalia.”

“I am sorry, Your Majesty. I just did what I had to do.”

To the emperor’s praise, Rokhan responded with humility. It was also an expression of gratitude to the emperor, who saw through himself hidden in stealth.

[You have obtained 30,000 merit.]

And it’s a bonus to get 30,000 merit degrees.

After killing two masters and tossing one, he had acquired an enormous amount of merit of 55,000 in just a few tens of minutes.

A number of masters appeared and it was a great reward corresponding to the monstrous difficulty of dealing with them.

“Hurry up and reorganize! Not much left now!”

The consumed troops were quickly replenished. It’s only natural for the emperor to risk everything to promote it.

It was not a game where NPCs were respawned indefinitely, but the number of masters was limited, so it felt like the quantity was increased rather than the quality, but it must have been the same with the enemies anyway.

The remaining time is about 4 hours.

Thanks to the emperor who showed great trust because of Rokhan’s activity, Rokhan had to print engineering items from time to time for the rest of the time.

[Mechanical engineering proficiency has increased by 0.1%.]

And it turned out to be a great opportunity. Although the production success rate is highly dependent on the skill level, mechanical engineering is also greatly affected by the quality of the material and the performance and proficiency increase rate.

With the support of the emperor, Rokhan raised his mechanical engineering proficiency for nearly 4 hours with the best materials that were hard to find even if he had money.

Of course, there were additional raids in the meantime. However, it was not a large-scale air raid like the first one, and it was at a level that was capable of intercepting enough for Lokan to use suppression and Berserk.

Because they too had a master level.

“Oh, finally… … !”

And finally, the time has come.

The time when the ancient emperor is resurrected.

‘I’ll have to jump.’

Seeing the enormous amount of mana prepared by the Emperor and the Council dwelling in the ancient emperor’s body, Rokhan secretly prepared to withdraw.

It is not certain how the resurrected ancient emperor will react.

‘Because if you don’t have any luck, everyone will die.’

If the corrupted force had completely robbed him of his sanity, he could have annihilated all beings in this position and went out.

If you do that, the mana that was concentrated with the dazzling light disappeared while preparing for the tulle.

It was completely absorbed into the body of the ancient emperor.

[Finally, the time of resurrection has come.]

The ancient emperor, who opened his eyes, burst into a satisfied smile, as if he had anticipated such a situation. Unfortunately or fortunately, he didn’t seem to be completely blinded.

‘Damn, it’s not that it doesn’t work’

It was Lokan who became anxious because of that. At most, he made the ancient emperor’s neck with a corrupted power, but he said that it had no effect.

My pupils were shaking and I felt like I was running out of cold sweat.

[Are you my descendants? I can feel the weak energy flowing through your veins.]

“Yes, that’s right. My name is Kaisman, the 79th emperor of the Restonian Empire.”

Just by looking under the master level, you could see how powerful the ancient emperor was.

Knowing this, Kaisman fell flat and bowed his head. His ideal was not just to preserve the emperor’s position, but to bring back humanity’s heyday.

[okay. What is the situation outside now, it seems that we humans are not as prosperous as we used to be. I saw you resurrected me.]

“I’m sorry. in fact… … .”

Kaisman confessed the present situation to the ancient emperor of Miju al Gojual. The reality that humans are ignored and persecuted due to their inherent limitations. Even within the Golden Lion camp, they are not being treated properly.

The ancient emperor quietly delayed the story close to the complaint, and raised a subtle anger.

[I mean, things that I didn’t dare to throw away were like that. Don’t worry, my descendants. Our human age will come again. Me and my knights will make it so.]

With those words, the ancient emperor began to move. Looking around him, he gently raised his hand to release his energy.

Kurreung.

It goes without saying that the lab was destroyed and the road was opened. Perhaps it was deep underground, sunlight leaked from the collapsed ceiling, and the ancient emperor’s body flew up like Superman.

He had already reached the level of a superman, so even a light jump caused the same effect.

If anyone saw it, they’d say it’s nonsense, but Lokan understood.

‘That’s the power of the Grand Master… … .’

The last realm that the ancient emperor achieved before his death was the Grand Master, the next realm after the High Master.Beyond the fact that there are no rivals on the continent, it is unknown how many of those formidable powers that were cut to pieces even if many Masters and High Masters rushed at them returned, but it was clear that they were at least capable of being higher than the High Masters.

“Let’s go back. Let’s go back and wait for him to return.”

Following the departed ancient emperor with emotion, the current emperor got up. He vowed to return to the Imperial Palace.

‘I must hurry.’

While all the soldiers and knights were packing their bags, Lokan was the first to move. From the moment the ancient emperor destroyed the research institute, restrictions on space movement were lifted.

Using the runebook right away, Rokhan moved to the site of the ancient emperor’s tomb.

“Looks like he hasn’t come yet.”

Fortunately, the movement speed of Lokan using the runebook was faster than the ancient emperor who moved his body directly.

woo woo woo.

Lokan immediately manipulated his device to move into the tomb and run towards the target.

“bombing! Glow!”

Kwagwagwagwang!

Upon arriving there, Rokhan did his best. He started plugging in all the skills he had.

Awkward! hooded.

‘done!’

What he was aiming for was the metal dolls. It was a metal doll in the shape of the Scarlet Crusade, a corps directly under the ancient emperor.

They were originally classified as indestructible objects, but when the ancient emperor was resurrected, the indestructible option was released and it was reduced to a ‘steel doll inactive’.

‘There is a penalty, but… … . That’s great.’

Therefore, it was possible for Lokan to destroy those who did not move and acquire experience points.

As a penalty for destroying an entity that has not yet been activated, a number much lower than the original experience and drop rate is applied, but that alone was good enough. It is an opponent who does not even resist.

“Berserk!”

Rokhan even used Berserk and ran wild. Although it is said to be a metal doll that does not even move, its durability was so great that it was difficult to destroy it even with Lokan’s attack.

Therefore, Lokan maximized his attack power instead of putting a time limit at all. After all, when the ancient emperor arrives, it’s over.

In order to reduce the number of Scarlet Crusade that he could resurrect, he began indiscriminate sabotage.

[The Berserk’s duration ends after 10 seconds. 9, 8, 7… … .]

Eventually, the vandalism stopped until the Berserk’s duration was over.

“Using runebook, as Taimura!”

The next step, of course, is to run away! Before the ancient emperor arrived, Lokan quickly left his seat. He finally stood up, leaving his little trace.

‘The Black Dragonflight had fun with Corruption Wave, so it might be a little different this time.’

Interestingly, the traces were related to gnomes.

One of the exclusive materials used only in Gnomish engineering was slipped into a corner.
